[00:00] TJ-: so when I return, install the signed version in chroot? [00:00] 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 time [00:00] Great! I appreciate all of your help and the late night! [00:00] go get some rest! [00:00] johnnyb: "mount -a" required to mount the EFI system partition to /boot/efi/ [00:01] 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 up [00:02] TJ-: Is there a way I can keep a log of this convo for when I return? [00:02] johnnyb: you should see something like "UUID=xxxxxx /boot/efi vfat ..." [00:02] !logs [00:02] Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meetingology logs at https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ [00:03] TJ-: Thanks again to you and nacc [00:03] Have a great night. [00:12] I 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? [00:15] elisa87: i assume you meant public IP not DNS? [00:15] elisa87: what changed? it looks like no website is configured [00:19] https://shapeshed.com/auto-update-an-ubuntu-server-with-aptitude/ [00:19] ChetManly: is that a question? [00:19] coming [00:20] ChetManly: i'm not sure i'd consider an article written almost 10 years ago to be useful [00:20] ChetManly: and the modern solution to this problem is unattended-upgrades [00:21] I know all the mumbojumbo about apt-get but ignore that for a minute. I want to be able to auto aptitiude [00:21] ChetManly: why? [00:21] ChetManly: and what do you mean 'auto aptitude'? [00:22] various reasons one of them being I have not had to reinstall in ages since I ditched apt-get [00:22] I dont want to start a war either [00:23] I just want to know if I have to use crontab and if I sudo crontab that will run as root [00:24] I juist want to run a modified version of the script as a cron job [00:24] ChetManly: 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. [00:25] use unattended-upgrades and be done with it [00:28] that wasnt the answer I was lookimg for thanks anyway [00:29] ChetManly: ok, to answer your question ... the article says to use a cronntab, so use a crontab [00:30] ChetManly: wel, actually it says to put it in cron.daily [00:30] so just do that? [00:30] yeah it doesnt work [00:30] ChetManly: 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] ChetManly: what doesn't work? [00:30] system isnt updated [00:31] So run the commands manually and find out what isn't working [00:31] ChetManly: ... what did you try? did you put in cron.dailY? [00:31] yep [00:31] ChetManly: if you did, has cron.daily run? (it only runs once a day) [00:32] welll its been days [00:32] I like how the guide says to name it autoupdate.sh but has you mv autoupdate [00:32] ChetManly: ok, do you see cron.daily running? [00:32] kenrin: lol, i didn't bother to read the article, again, due to its age. [00:32] :) [00:33] Eh I didn't read the article, just the script [00:33] SOMEONE spilt in my keyboard bear with me [00:33] ... [00:34] I'm not exactly sure what the safe-upgrade does. I assume it doesn't autoremove stuff ? [00:34] cron is daily automattically isnt [00:34] kenrin: it appears it does [00:34] kenrin: it is more like 'upgrade + autoremove', it seems? [00:34] (based upon manpage) [00:35] kenrin: aptitude also has the full-upgrade option, which is allowed to also remove packages to upgrade others [00:35] ChetManly: which cron? cron.daily? [00:35] works wonderfully [00:35] yes [00:35] ChetManly: yes, cron.daily runs .. daily [00:35] ChetManly: did you follow the page exactly, or did you see the same error kenrin pointed out? [00:35] you want me to check logs to see if its run [00:35] ChetManly: yes [00:35] ChetManly: as we are not at your system to debug it [00:37] the error wasnt the issue [00:37] I noticed it too [00:38] Im thinking it cannot run since it is root [00:39] ChetManly: hrm? [00:39] ChetManly: what cannot run? [00:39] But all the crons run as root from the cron folders... [00:39] oh [00:40] run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily ? [00:41] ya when I run that the script isnt showing [00:42] Do you see the script under /etc/cron.daily ? is it executable? [00:42] I bet it is the .sh [00:42] .sh shouldn't matter [00:43] cause nothing else in the directory ends like that [00:43] I could name a script bob.taco and it'll run [00:43] I didnt think so either [00:43] just as long as its executabel [00:43] unix doesn't care about file extensions, generally [00:44] autoupdate.sh: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text === XphaN is now known as AlexUnderHood [00:44] shit [00:44] autoupdate.sh: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable [00:44] There ya go [00:45] what [00:46] ChetManly: what release are you onn?

[02:20] So I take it from the topic that 17.04 support is non existent? [02:20] !17.04 | Juthien [02:20] Juthien: 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.html [02:21] What happened the 17.04 that 14.04 and 16.04 are supported, but not 17.04? (instead, 17.10 is) [02:21] 17.04 isn't a LTR ? [02:21] !release | Juthien [02:21] Juthien: 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/TimeBasedReleases [02:22] QuenzOnGnome: hi [02:22] I 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 LTS [02:22] tatertotz Hello [02:22] QuenzOnGnome: soory wrong nick [02:22] Juthien: 14.04, 16.04 and to be 18,04 are Long Term support releases . [02:23] So since it's no longer supported, does that mean all the repositories are now offline? [02:23] Juthien: even numbered --- 14 16 18 be LTS . [02:23] Quenz: you looking for stuff like this http://termbin.com/lx99 ? yes or no [02:24] err, 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] Maybe you need to use 16.04 then [02:24] 16.04 has them too old. [02:24] Can always manually upgrade [02:25] No 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] Well I meant PPAs, but sure [02:25] That would mean tracking down possibly 30 different PPAs that work === leion1 is now known as leion [02:28] tatertotz I'm not sure what that is.

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. [07:45] Now if I issue commands like "plasmawindowed" I get "QXcbConnection: cannot connect to display" [07:45] Melatonina: do you have physical access to the computer right now? yes or no [07:45] i have what might be an odd question, but has anyone had issues with udp packets coming to an ubuntu server and them not being reassembled if fragmented?

(and it's a virtual machine, actually) [07:46] Melatonina: does the computer have network connectivity? ping google.com to find out [07:47] Melatonina: does the computer have network connectivity? yes or no [07:48] Melatonina: probably no connectivity [07:48] tatertotz: I can ping www.google.com.
