johnnybTJ-: so when I return, install the signed version in chroot?00:00
TJ-johnnyb: I'll be off to bed, it's midnight here, but you're very close. The key is to install "grub-efi-amd64-signed" into the chroot env (make sure to do "mount -a" when you enter the chroot for the 1st time00:00
johnnybGreat! I appreciate all of your help and the late night!00:00
johnnybgo get some rest!00:00
TJ-johnnyb: "mount -a" required to mount the EFI system partition to /boot/efi/00:00
TJ-johnnyb: and maybe it's worth doing "grep efi /etc/fstab" and ensure there's an entry in there to mount it! Seeing as the system seems a bit messed up00:01
johnnybTJ-: Is there a way I can keep a log of this convo for when I return?00:02
TJ-johnnyb: you should see something like "UUID=xxxxxx /boot/efi vfat ..."00:02

elisa87I used to be able to see my Website running in the Amazon EC2 by browsing to the public DNS in my browser. Now, when I do it after having the instance up and running, I get this https://imgur.com/a/1lCk0 how do you think I should approach this first?00:12

ChetManlyhttps://shapeshed.com/auto-update-an-ubuntu-server-with-aptitude/00:19
naccChetManly: is that a question?00:19
ChetManlycoming00:19
naccChetManly: i'm not sure i'd consider an article written almost 10 years ago to be useful00:20
naccChetManly: and the modern solution to this problem is unattended-upgrades00:20
ChetManlyI know all the mumbojumbo about apt-get but ignore that for a minute. I want to be able to auto aptitiude00:21
naccChetManly: why?00:21
naccChetManly: and what do you mean 'auto aptitude'?00:21
ChetManlyvarious reasons one of them being I have not had to reinstall in ages since I ditched apt-get00:22
ChetManlyI dont want to start a war either00:22
ChetManlyI just want to know if I have to use crontab and if I sudo crontab that will run as root00:23
ChetManlyI juist want to run a modified version of the script as a cron job00:24
naccChetManly: to support you, i'd have to read that page, written 10 years ago and decide if what they say is right; that's not really useful IMO, as there is already a tooll that does what the subject of that article says.00:24
naccuse unattended-upgrades and be done with it00:25
ChetManlythat wasnt the answer I was lookimg for  thanks anyway00:28
naccChetManly: ok, to answer your question ... the article says to use a cronntab, so use a crontab00:29
naccChetManly: wel, actually it says to put it in cron.daily00:30
naccso just do that?00:30
ChetManlyyeah it doesnt work00:30
naccChetManly: i don't know, at all, why you are asking what you are -- you want to follow the article's guide, but then question the guide?00:30
naccChetManly: what doesn't work?00:30
ChetManlysystem isnt updated00:30
kenrinSo run the commands manually and find out what isn't working00:31
naccChetManly: ... what did you try? did you put in cron.dailY?00:31
ChetManlyyep00:31
naccChetManly: if you did, has cron.daily run? (it only runs once a day)00:31
ChetManlywelll its been days00:32
kenrinI like how the guide says to name it autoupdate.sh but has you mv autoupdate00:32
naccChetManly: ok, do you see cron.daily running?00:32
nacckenrin: lol, i didn't bother to read the article, again, due to its age.00:32
nacc:)00:32
kenrinEh I didn't read the article,  just the script00:33
ChetManlySOMEONE spilt in my keyboard bear with me00:33
ChetManly...00:33
kenrinI'm not exactly sure what the safe-upgrade does.  I assume it doesn't autoremove stuff ?00:34
ChetManlycron is daily automattically isnt00:34
nacckenrin: it appears it does00:34
nacckenrin: it is more like 'upgrade + autoremove', it seems?00:34
nacc(based upon manpage)00:34
nacckenrin: aptitude also has the full-upgrade option, which is allowed to also remove packages to upgrade others00:35
naccChetManly: which cron? cron.daily?00:35
ChetManlyworks wonderfully00:35
ChetManlyyes00:35
naccChetManly: yes, cron.daily runs .. daily00:35
naccChetManly: did you follow the page exactly, or did you see the same error kenrin pointed out?00:35
ChetManlyyou want me to check logs to see if its run00:35
naccChetManly: yes00:35
naccChetManly: as we are not at your system to debug it00:35
ChetManlythe error wasnt the issue00:37
ChetManlyI noticed it too00:37
ChetManlyIm thinking it cannot run since it is root00:38
naccChetManly: hrm?00:39
naccChetManly: what cannot run?00:39
kenrinBut all the crons run as root from the cron folders...00:39
ChetManlyoh00:39
ChetManlyrun-parts --test /etc/cron.daily ?00:40
ChetManlyya when I run that the script isnt showing00:41
kenrinDo you see the script under /etc/cron.daily ?  is it executable?00:42
ChetManlyI bet it is the .sh00:42
kenrin.sh shouldn't matter00:42
ChetManlycause nothing else in the directory ends like that00:43
kenrinI could name a script bob.taco and it'll run00:43
ChetManlyI didnt think so either00:43

CuriousErnestBrohello00:52
=== root is now known as Guest49887
ChetManlyUnlike some other systems like RedHat/Fedora/etc, run-parts under Debian or Ubuntu systems will ignore files with dots or most other characters in their name, meaning some or all of your scripts in run-parts folders such as /etc/cron.daily will not be run. For example /etc/cron.daily/backup.sh will never be run with the default way that /etc/crontab is set up.00:55
ChetManly...gah00:55

JuthienSo I take it from the topic that 17.04 support is non existent?02:20
Bashing-om!17.04 | Juthien02:20
ubottuJuthien: Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) was the 26th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 13th, 2018. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2018-January/000228.html02:20
JuthienWhat happened the 17.04 that 14.04 and 16.04 are supported, but not 17.04? (instead, 17.10 is)02:21
kenrin17.04 isn't a LTR ?02:21
Bashing-om!release | Juthien02:21
ubottuJuthien: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months (non-LTS) or 5 years (LTS). More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases02:21
tatertotzQuenzOnGnome: hi02:22
JuthienI know the release cycle for the releases, i've been using ubuntu for a while. now (since 13). 14.04 and 16.04 were both LTS? I could've swore the release model was x.04 was the non-lts and the .10 was the LTS02:22
Quenztatertotz Hello02:22
tatertotzQuenzOnGnome: soory wrong  nick02:22
Bashing-omJuthien: 14.04, 16.04 and to be 18,04 are Long Term support releases .02:22
JuthienSo since it's no longer supported, does that mean all the repositories are now offline?02:23
Bashing-omJuthien: even numbered --- 14 16 18 be LTS .02:23
tatertotzQuenz: you looking for stuff like this http://termbin.com/lx99 ? yes or no02:23
Juthienerr, that's dumb. I can't use 17.10 because it's using packages newer than some of the stuff I need to use.02:24
kenrinMaybe you need to use 16.04 then02:24
Juthien16.04 has them too old.02:24
kenrinCan always manually upgrade02:24
JuthienNo thanks, I'm not going to manually upgrade 30 dependencies to meet the needs of one application. I'll use another distro that has a longer shelf-life.02:25
kenrinWell I meant PPAs,  but sure02:25
JuthienThat would mean tracking down possibly 30 different PPAs that work02:25

ubottubaimafeima: Spectre is a security issue in almost all modern processors, which was released along with !Meltdown (but is not the same thing).

hateballMelatonina: what has changed between it working as normal, and now?07:41
Melatoninahateball: I can't be sure. I was building several new packages so I used the package manager to install dependencies. I'm not aware of intentionally changing anything. One thing I noticed: yesterday, when I left the computer, instead of the usual lock screen I found a message of this kind: "The lockscreen does't work. You have to log in into a console and type the following command". Today I had to reboot and the login screen doesn't work at all.07:44

kostkon`slikts, update the packages or upgrade to a newer release? Your wording is not clear11:58
`sliktsupgrade to a newer release11:58
BluesKajbest to wait til 18.04 is released11:58
`sliktsit's unusable in the current state11:59
`sliktskostkon: "upgrade from 16.10 to a current release" is fairly clear11:59

=== SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL
kostkon`slikts, still applies. you'll have to follow the instructions twice12:05
jimb_`slikts, I think you need to follow an upgrade path, and that path involved incremental upgrades... which in your case, means you have to upgrade to yet another eol before you can reach lts12:05
jimb_`slikts, s/lts/the end12:06
`sliktsso do I change the codenames in sources.list to the release I want to upgrade to?12:06
BluesKajyou could but you'll still end up with a broken system12:07
kostkon`slikts, no, just update the urls to point to old.releases.com. you don't change the release codename12:07
`sliktsright, which is what I did and which apparently doesn't work for 16.1012:08
geirhaThe problem is that Packages.gz points to package versions that don't exist at old-releases12:08
geirhaand the bsdutils package is pretty important12:08
geirhaWe also don't know the extent of the problem. If it's only that one package, you could maybe jsut build that deb manually12:09
`sliktsis there some place to report bugs for old-releases?12:09
`sliktsoh well, I'll just do a clean install12:11

BluesKaj!meltdown13:27
ubottuMeltdown is a security issue with (primarily) Intel processors. It's mitigated by kernel patches named KPTI. Ubuntu released them in security updates for 14.04, 16.04, and 17.10. 17.04 will not receive this update. 18.04 will ship with kernel 4.15, which is patched already. 16.04 has updates for Linux 4.4 (release) and 4.13 (HWE), installs with 4.10 should upgrade to 4.13. See also !spectre, !nopti13:27

kostkonjhonnyBeGood, nevertheless, you can use this script to check if you are vulnerable https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker14:12
jhonnyBeGoodI dont know if this script is 100% right... I updated some debian machines wth the kernell patched and I had false values ...14:15

naccqp: did they actually help you?18:56
kostkonqp, not with that attitude18:56
naccqp: or did they just have you go around in a big circle?18:56
naccqp: afaict, you've not made any progress from yesterday18:57
SimonNLor day before18:57
qpbut he was trying18:57
IntelCoreWell, I have made progress18:57
qpand was teaching me how to deal with it18:57
qpsomeone please help me18:57
naccqp: i thought they were telling you to reboot to 4.10? that's not what you want to do (it will never get the kpti fixes, e.g)18:58
IntelCoreSince this 'change' for these vulnerabilities.. Kernels have changed way my grub boots.. first time was getting a replaced update for grub to boot just fine18:58
qpnacc: ?18:58
IntelCoreso ok kool18:58
nacc!kpti > qp18:58
ubottuqp, please see my private message18:58
IntelCorenow, grub don't like 112-generic18:59
naccqp: can you paraphrase your issue in one line?18:59
qpnacc: meltdown means heating issue right?18:59
naccqp: no, it's a serious security issue with processors18:59
IntelCoregimme a moment re-boot18:59
naccqp: read the blurb from ubottu, which i think has links to the docs19:00
naccqp: you really don't want to be running 4.1019:00
qpnacc: and cause battery drain when laptop is off?19:00
naccqp: no, it has nothing to do with your battery19:00
naccqp: afaict, your battery draining if off is a hardware issue19:00
naccqp: possibly a defective battery19:00
qpnacc: only happen when ubuntu is installed not with win1019:01
naccqp: what does that mean? it happens when the laptop is off19:01
naccqp: so I don't follow what you are referring to19:01
qpnacc: it dont happen when i have win 10 installed19:01
naccqp: or do you mean you *only* had windows 10 before, and the battery didn't drain; and then you installed ubuntu (erasing windows) and now it does?19:01
qpnacc: yes19:01
lotuspsychjenacc: i suggested him laptop-mode-tools earlier, he said didnt work19:02
naccqp: sounds like possibly a buggy BIOS -- it's also not impossible that the hardware is defective and windows did some ACPI trickery to workaround it19:02
IntelCoreThanks19:02
naccqp: does it happen with all ubuntu you've tried?19:03
qpnacc: yes19:03
nacclotuspsychje: yeah that's a good though19:03
nacc*thought19:03
naccqp: then it seems like possibly incompatibility with your laptop and linux19:03
naccqp: have you googled if others with the exact same model of laptop report the same issue?19:03
IntelCoreok, 16.04lts kernel 112-generic makes my grub - not work19:03

siva_machinagrub comes up before the kernel.... to the best of my knowledge grub controls how the kernel boots.19:04

naccqp: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201820219:05
naccqp: did you try turning of WOL?19:05
IntelCoreSo, since this 112 update, grub returns to that load screen19:05
qpnacc: dont have that option in my bios and lan is not connected with my laptop19:05
IntelCoreto work around, I select advanced option, fin kernel 10919:06

magic_1Hi all.21:05
magic_1Is there a way to stop ubuntu from auto dismounting my external drives after a while21:05
magic_1This happens randomly though21:07
magic_1Even while I am busy using the drive.21:07
jimb_magic_1, I won't be able to offer a lot of help/time with this, but I don't think it's Ubuntu auto-dismounting the drives. The only times I have experienced drives being dismounted as I think you are is when there is an issue with the bus/etc. Are these USB drives?21:10
magic_1jimb_, Thank you. That could be. However. What I have found. When this was happening in windows, There was a power setting I had changed which caused it to stop happening. Hence me covering all bases.21:11
magic_1jimb_, However I will look into that as well.21:12
CoderEuropesim642, yes my clock launched itself over-night aswell, dunno why ?21:12
jimb_magic_1, It could be some power setting, although I wasn't aware of one (even in windows) that would eject a drive while not idle.21:13
=== dmitry is now known as ebanashka
magic_1jimb_, On my other laptop, where I am running windows, I had the same problem, did some googlying and found that it was quite an obscure power setting. A sort of sub of a sub setting type thing.21:15
magic_1jimb_, When I bought the drives over to my ubuntu laptop. It started happening again.21:16
ericuswhat would be the best way to verify that I have 17.10? I tried to upgrade from 16.04, got a error message saying something I cant recall21:27
ericuslsb_release -a says 17.1021:27
ericusMy XFCE session is also broken, can only login on Ubuntu Mate21:28
nicomachusericus: lsb_relase -a shows it. so you're on 17.10. You can verify that 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' show repos for Artful21:41
nicomachusericus: as far as your XFCE session, occasionally that will have to be reinstalled after an EOL upgrade so that it picks up any missing dependencies.21:41

ericusEOL upgrade nicomachus?21:43
nicomachusLooks like a good upgade. And I read wrong, you weren't doing an EOL upgrade, but the path from 16.04 to 17.10 can be tricky. May be best to just reinstall the xfce desktop package anyway.21:45
convergeI can login remotely on my local network, but when I try to login outside my network, it always says permission denied, anyone knows what could be wrong ?21:47
michael2hi, does anyone know of a command to get unity version?21:49
michael2doh, its $ unity --version21:50
nicomachusconverge: how are you logging in?21:51
convergenicomachus, converge@my.ip -p 222221:51
nicomachusconverge: make sure the port is open. make sure that your username and IP are correct (you'll need external IP for remote logins). and make sure you're formatting your command correctly.21:53
ericusBanshee/Rhythmbox won't play music since upgrade to 17.1021:53
nicomachusconverge: do you have fail2ban or anything set up on the machine you're trying to access?21:53
ericuspavucontrol shows it muted, I cannot unmute it21:53
raidghostTo reboot a ubuntu server when raid is rebuilding. would that make any damage?21:54
convergenicomachus, ip is correct, port is open (checked), command is correct21:54
convergenicomachus, no logs at /var/log/auth.log as well21:55
nicomachusconverge: that may mean the attempt isn't even reaching the target21:56
nicomachusconverge: when the connection fails, what step does it fail at? Do you even get a password prompt?21:56
ericusteamspeak audio and youtube works at the same time, but not teamspeak and banshee21:57
convergenicomachus, I do get the password prompt, after type the password I get: Permission denied, please try again.21:57
nicomachusand is it "permission denied" or "unreachable"?21:57
convergeBut I can login localy21:57
convergenicomachus, sounds like a NAT issue ?21:58
nicomachusconverge: i'm not sure, I get a bit lost once we get past basic troubleshooting on networking issues.21:59
akikconverge: if you don't get logs for ssh connections, you might be hitting some other server22:00
JyZyXELcan a LVM roofs-snapshot be removed while rootfs itself is mounted and in use?22:05

insectorxi'm trying out ubuntu for the first time.  I went to install spotify and the install failed.  Will spotify work?  Because this would be a dealbreaker for me22:16
mitchellhello22:16
naccvaraindemian: that's not really a topic for this channel22:17
naccvaraindemian: try them all, use what you want22:17
varaindemianI keep getting a report error screen after I turn my the machine (17.10)22:17
naccinsectorx: spotify was recently released as a snap22:18
naccinsectorx: i would use that, if possible22:18
naccinsectorx: how did you try to install it?22:18
insectorxwhat's a snap?22:18
nacc!snappy | insectorx22:18
ubottuinsectorx: Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/22:18
naccinsectorx: hrm, doesn't really answer your question22:18
naccinsectorx: it's a new packaging format22:18
insectorxi was trying to install the program through the software boutique22:19
insectorxthis is my first day messing with this stuff22:19
naccinsectorx: 'boutique'? are you on mate?22:19
insectorxyes.  i have a slightly older machine, and i heard that was the one to get22:19
nicomachusinsectorx: snap is the best way to install spotify now, unfortunately. Even more unfortunately, the desktop client is still extremely buggy.22:20
naccalthough as a snap, filing bugs with them should mean you get fixes much faster than the deb22:20
insectorxis it too difficult of a process to tell me how to do it here?22:20
naccinsectorx: sudo snap install spotify22:20
nicomachusnacc: that would require them to respond to bugs and actually work on development of the client.22:21
naccshould be all you need22:21
nicomachus:)22:21
naccnicomachus: afaik, they do22:21
naccnicomachus: but i've not used it22:21
naccnicomachus: also, wer eyou trying stable or candidate?22:21
insectorx?22:22
naccinsectorx: what is your question?22:22
insectorxnothing22:22
nicomachusnacc: stable22:22
naccnicomachus: did you try candidate?22:22
naccnicomachus: seems like an easy first step :)22:22
Sharoahi there, just wondering, if ubuntu reaches something like 98% cpu usage (some really high number), can the OS reject any new processes that want to be run?22:24
naccSharoa: no, that generally doesn't happen22:25
Sharoaah ok22:25
Sharoajust wondering. thanks!22:25

ericusWhy do I have to mute either Teamspeak or Banshee to get sound output from one of them? Not both at once http://i.imgur.com/dlUopa3.png22:56
courrierHey, I'm getting "deauthenticating from 00:26:f2:db:f0:a5 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)"  messages in dmesg on a regular basis (and I can see the network manager disconnecting and reconnecting by itself 5 sec later), any clue to get rid of these deauth?22:58
Jordan_Ucourrier: Is your AP possibly changing channels as described here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/243280/how-to-fix-deauthentication-by-local-choice ? Are there other SSIDs on the same channel that may be causing interference? Is this 5ghz or 2.4 ghz? If your AP is providing both, does the 5Ghz network have a different SSID than the 2.4Ghz?23:03
courrierJordan_U: 2.4GHz, but this is the only laptop I'm experiencing this issue, all others who tested my Wifi (Ubuntu, Mint, Windows, MacOS, Android, ...) never complained about disconnections/reconnections, can it be specific to this hardware setup? software?23:07
courrierI'm gonna check the density of networks23:07
courrierand their channel23:07
Jordan_Ucourrier: It could be a buggy driver.23:10
courrierJordan_U: there are a lot of ch1, 6 and 11, mine is 9, the best compromise :D23:14
Jordan_Ucourrier: In case you didn't know, 2.4Ghz channels actually overlap so channel 9 will get (some) interference from both the channel 6 users and the channel 11 users: https://programmingsoul.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/2-4ghz-wifi-channels-3-overlapping.png23:17
Jordan_Ucourrier: Is it your AP that is limited to 2.4Ghz, your wireless card, or both? (5Ghz has far fewer problems with interference)23:19
