[00:00] TJ-: I experienced both types, but primarily the first kind [00:01] i think this might help this time around https://aaronhorler.com/articles/openvpn-17.10-dns-leak.html [00:02] but if it's not necessary all the better [00:03] hi, I'm trying to recompile the kernel in ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I'm trying to have the default .config file of the running kernel, so that I just modify my stuff and the rest keeps as usual. I did the apt-get source linux-image-.... , but inside the created subdirectory there is no .config. Do I have to look into the .diff file that's also downloaded ? Or elswhere ? Any hint is appreciated [00:04] harovali: you can copy it from /boot [00:04] akik: thanks [00:08] TJ-, looks lie sdb1=ext2, sdb2=exteneded, sdb5=lvm2 pv [00:09] lwizardl: if your OS is installed in sdb5, which is LVM, that makes shrinking and moving it quite straightforward [00:17] server rizon [00:25] hi guys whats up [00:34] when I tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeALiveCD/DVD/BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall I got booting errors, like magic number error, load kernel first (something like that) === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as captainfixerpc14 [01:20] Greetings denizens [01:21] I could use some help installing a game if anyone is available [01:23] well ask your question [01:23] Howdy [01:23] howdy [01:24] don't ask to ask pls [01:24] Well I can use the sofware mgr fine, but hos do you install using a downloaded .sh file? [01:25] Sorry AB, but you guys are sometimes slow to reply [01:25] :P [01:25] ChileStuff, normally, you chmod +x the file and then run it [01:26] but double check what you're installing since there is no way to tell is it malware or not [01:26] Oh it's not ... DLd game from gog [01:26] alright [01:27] then open a terminal, and then chmod +x the file [01:27] tehn run it, that's it [01:27] if it's properly made it will install in your user directory rather than system-wide [01:28] if it's not it might need root privileges, i'd rather not recommend giving it su privileges [01:28] I've only been using linux for a month, and I know the paths are different than windows, so where do I point? [01:28] point? [01:28] Sorry, I don't know the syntax yet ... [01:29] I have the file in my downloads folder [01:29] You mean like where it installs to or something? [01:30] The script would have that information [01:30] Do I just chmod +x ? [01:30] yeah [01:30] Ok thanks [01:30] inside your downloads folder [01:30] ChileStuff, you should read about unix filesystems hierarchy basics [01:30] Yes I should, but haven't gotten there yet [01:31] AmericanBlend: Is your name Mrs Kipper? [01:31] no? [01:31] Sorry, you sound a bit like my old english teacher :D [01:32] coincidence [01:40] Is this the correct channel to ask basic Linux question? I installed a program and I want to run it. I don't think I installed it right [01:40] if relates ubuntu I guess so [01:41] I hav Lubuntu, should I go to that channel instead? [01:42] Trying to install Trojita [01:42] the rule generally is just ask, don't ask to ask :) [01:43] How can I tell if I install correctly? [01:44] Currently is giving me "bash: ./trojita: No such file or directory" if I do ./Trojita [01:44] I follow instruction on https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:jkt-gentoo:trojita&package=trojita [01:45] you have to read the output of the commands you put in terminal [01:45] never do stuff blind [01:45] understand what you are doing [01:46] following the instructions there if "apt-get install trojita" don't say the package is already installed I guess something gone wrong in the process [01:48] so looking through the ubuntu repositories the latest version of gcc I see is 5.5, I'm curious why that is [01:48] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [01:48] E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ [01:48] they just released 7.3 [01:49] jiffe, projects don't jump to the latest gcc [01:49] jiffe, because ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution [01:49] there are various reasons such as testing, features [01:49] possible ABI breakage [01:50] LinuxNoob924, it seems you have already an apt opened [01:50] synaptic, software center? [01:50] I don't use ubuntu BTW [01:50] what is an apt? [01:51] but there's some package manager opened [01:51] LinuxNoob924, check have you got software center upon, if it is open, close it, if it's not, remove /var/cache/apt/archives/lock and run apt again [01:52] /var/cache/apt/archives/lock is a file apt checks for to make sure there are no more than one instance of apt running at one time [01:52] running two apt instances at one time could lead to breaking your ystem [01:53] just obsolete technology lol [01:53] thank you Barrett and AmericanBlend [02:00] I'm trying to send email with attachment from the command line. I have a msmtp configuration and am trying to send the mail using mutt, but I don't know how to tell mutt to use a specific profile via the command line [02:00] I know I can hard-code it into .muttrc but is there a way to do it via a flag or env var? [02:01] Got it working. How can I create a shortcut to a program that I am launching from terminal? [02:01] ,aybe an alias in bashrc? [02:01] maybe* [02:02] AmericanBlend, like a shortcut in the desktop? [02:02] sorry bad nick [02:02] I meant LinuxNoob924 [02:02] if you want an icon to that program you need to use your desktop environment functionality [02:03] or simply a symbolic link [02:03] that'd be more effective [02:03] but uglier [02:03] this is so much different from window enviroment haha, have to learn everything from basic [02:03] kenrin: You still here? [02:04] uglier? transparent and easy as pressing enter [02:04] I'm always here, just don't always respond ;P [02:04] I obviously misunderstood earlier. How do I run frominside the folder? [02:05] I open terminal but can't seem to get to the folder [02:05] You right click the folder and > open in terminal. or you cd /home/chilestuff/Downloads/; chmod +x blah.sh [02:05] Well, sudo chmod that is [02:06] why sudo chmod, that's an user directory. [02:07] Just giving the best cmd that works, could have an ACL, could have wget'd as root, I don't know his system [02:08] he should learn to don't do that then :) [02:09] I got a bunch of isos sitting in my downloads that I can't chmod, owned by kvm [02:09] hmm [02:10] kenrin, I meant wgetting as root [02:10] When I search for "other apps" I find "run software" and "Software install", but no terminal [02:11] ChileStuff, right click in the folder, in the menu there should be "open in terminal" [02:11] What barrett said [02:11] Oh, I was right clicking the fileitself [02:15] Ok nothing happened [02:15] I did chmod +x .sh [02:15] ChileStuff, what's ? [02:16] Some script for a game he wants to install [02:16] I hope he didn't put literally [02:16] Nah [02:16] gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh [02:16] If you want to run it, do ./.sh [02:17] lol Barrett [02:17] ChileStuff, +x is just the execution permission [02:17] so do as kenrin said [02:19] Did: chmod +x ./gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh [02:19] Still nuthin [02:20] What do people use to password protect files? [02:20] 12345? [02:20] Sorry [02:21] ChileStuff, run the script [02:21] Hello I have an Apple Magic keyboard that I am trying to connect to my ubuntu 17.10 laptop. It doesn't want ot pair. What do I do? [02:21] ChileStuff, ./gog_baldur_s_gate_enhanced_edition_2.5.0.9.sh [02:21] put this [02:21] lamduh, keepasswordkeeper [02:22] No chmod? [02:22] ChileStuff, you already chmod the file right? [02:22] you set +x (execute) permission [02:22] chmod changes permissions, it just gives it execute so it can run the script [02:22] now you have to actually execute the script [02:22] Barrett, thanks.. was only finding encfs and cryptkeeper but apparently they have vulns [02:22] There it went [02:24] Oh so I run chmod +x, the next line run script? [02:25] Yes ./file.sh runs it [02:26] Thanks [02:29] after recompiling the kernel (got thru apt-get source kernel-image-$(uname -r) ; i'm getting this https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538930/ [02:30] any hint is welcome! [02:30] make kernel-headers fails , and I don't know why and what to do [02:31] Still need help with an Apple Magic Keyboard not pairing [02:32] this might be relevant harovali1: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2373905 [02:33] REPORTING-BUGS might just need to be created first [02:33] kenrin: thank you ! [02:34] kenrin: it IS compiling : ) [02:35] You'd think they'd make a script which would create it if not existed =/ [02:36] kenrin: yes [02:36] Well that was a waste of time [02:36] Seemed to install ok, but won't run [02:36] kenrin: maybe it's not that often that one recompiles the kernel [02:37] kenrin: it's been a while since my last time, and it's the first one following a distro's steps to do [02:37] kenrin: it's pretty much the same I guess [02:37] I've only done it for practice before. Everything usually needed is stuck as modules [02:40] kenrin: yes; this time , I'm puttin all my hopes for a usb problem to workaround, by having changed '=y' by '=m' in ehci-hcd and xhci-hcd settings ; I have a printer that lsusb detects in an older machine but same ubuntu version , it *might* be a hardware issue, but in older hardware works [02:40] I'll blacklist the modules to see if it works as uhci [02:40] usb 1.0 [02:40] i guess [02:41] i don't care much as long as the damm printer gets detected [02:41] I'd just buy a new network printer O.o [02:42] HP is the only one that seems to have decent linux drivers [02:42] kenrin: the printer might be new and still not work [02:42] kenrin: yeah [02:43] kenrin: it *did* work however, and it still does in older hardware, so the printer is half the issue , not 100% the issue [02:43] Cool [02:43] kenrin: it got me mad [02:44] kenrin: even a decent driver wouldn't work, as long as the kernel does not handle the usb thing [02:45] kenrin: otoh , the kernel ain't no culprit, usb standars suck as hell [02:45] go tcp/ip [02:45] harovali1, did you try to debug what actually happens? [02:45] kenrin: sure, if I could I'd do [02:46] Barrett: not really , although peeked over some similar problem's patch in lkml sent a while ago [02:46] Barrett: I'd welcome any suggestion [02:47] maybe looking at syslog [02:47] can give some hint [02:47] Barrett: oh yes, the logs. I've seen all the errors [02:47] Barrett: I got mad at them [02:47] wanna see ? [02:47] I can give a look [02:47] Are they all in spanish? [02:47] sure, gimme a second [02:48] kenrin: not the logs [02:48] i hope [02:48] lol [02:48] I can read some spanish [02:48] but they will be in english :) [02:48] Sure you can read it, understanding is different O.o [02:49] kenrin, nah my native language is very similar [02:49] check this out , this is the old hardware , the working one, dmesg output , https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538976/ === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:51] this is the same printer cable in tha not working hardware: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26538986/ [02:51] noapic and nolapic made no difference [02:52] newest kernel in even newer hardware, made no difference either [02:53] changing bios options doesn't help ? [02:53] see how the workin version "backtracks" to uhcd from ehcd ? [02:53] kenrin: nope [02:53] kenrin: nothing changes [02:53] lsusb doesn't see it? [02:53] Barrett: nope, not even for a little timeslice. [02:54] it gets lsusb listed in the older hardware, that's how I kno it works === dommer is now known as Aremis117 [02:55] harovali1, which printer is it? [02:56] datamax e-4304 [02:57] 0b0b:106e Datamax-O'Neil Datamax E-4304 [02:57] yes [02:57] a laser label printer [02:57] it's very strange lsusb don't see it [02:57] Barrett: really strange [02:58] in such a situation if I were in you, to avoid any possible conf breakage or so [02:58] Barrett: anywayI wouldn't hope lsusb listed it if dmesg says 'unable to enumerate USB device' [02:58] I'd load a live usb [02:58] and try from there [02:58] using the same usb version [02:58] Barrett: tried with knoppix , same thing [02:58] a vanilla one [02:59] Barrett: only difference made by older hardware [03:03] there's nothing I can think of, sorry [03:03] if system-printer-config don't see it you may have it a bug [03:03] *hit [03:05] maybe open a bug report @cups? [03:06] however I need to sleep, bye [03:09] Barret , thank you any way ! , Do you think I'd file a cups bug even if lsusb doesn't see it ? (i've known of printers that worked without getting listed in lsusb) [03:27] hi [03:29] is someone there? [03:30] who wants to know? [03:31] someone is always there [03:31] As soon as I installed fail2ban, I can't access my web server from the browser. If I stop the fail2ban service, it works. I followed this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-password-authentication-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04 [03:31] wtf? [03:31] NoDuS, what? [03:31] what can i do here? [03:32] NoDuS: this is a support channel for Ubuntu, not a general chat channel [03:32] okay man [03:32] which is the best OS of Ubuntu? [03:33] NoDuS: taken literally, the *single* OS of Ubuntu is Linux. [03:33] Like, I can still ping my server but I can't access the web pages. [03:33] when that service is on. [03:33] !best | NoDuS [03:33] !best [03:34] ClydeSlims2: fail2ban will log what it is finding (by default, INFO level). You can look at the logs to find out what is going on [03:35] ClydeSlims2: alternatively, you can raise the log level to gather more information [03:35] do u know some chanel for talk? [03:35] hacker xD [03:36] NoDuS: I do not know of a hacker channel (nor am, in general, interested) [03:36] hggdh, it must have been because I tried logging in too many times? I mean I thought it was supposed to return an error if I do that [03:36] is that normal for fail2ban? Like to just not even respond with anything? [03:37] if I try too many attempts that is. What's the normal behaviour supposed to be? [03:37] someone speak spanish? [03:37] ClydeSlims2: usually fail2ban will issue a DROP command if you over-try something it is monitoring [03:37] hggdh, so DROP as in drop the socket connection to the server? [03:37] ClydeSlims2: so you could, for example, look at what DROPs are currently set in iptables [03:38] ClydeSlims2: to drop the received offending packet [03:38] hggdh, ah okay. Thank you [03:38] NoDuS, also since no one answered, 16.04 is the preferred Ubuntu version I'd say currently. [03:39] NoDuS: this channel is exclusively English. You can use alis to find spanish-speaking channels [03:39] NoDuS: use /msg alis help for details [03:46] ClydeSlims2: also fail2ban is not meant to return an error, but to block access :-) [03:47] hggdh, makes sense lol, thanks [03:47] yw [03:47] not sure if this is strictly a xubuntu thing, but if i refresh the desktop, it breaks all the icon thumbnails and i have to log out and back in to get icon thumbnail to show again? any ideas?

[04:53] rajivmars: perhaps because its not https? [04:53] rajivmars: try the #ubuntu-mirrors channel, they might know this [04:53] rajivmars: My guess would be that the mirror is being updated, and the signature doesn't match the data. [04:53] ok. thanks [04:54] Jordan_U, have you any idea what to do? [04:55] rajivmars: can you tell us your end goal on this? [04:55] rajivmars: what was you trying to do? [04:55] i was trying to change the mirror for updating. [04:55] rajivmars: If my guess is right, then all you can do is wait for the mirror to finish updating. You may also decide to switch to a mirror that updates faster or more atomically. I may also be completely wrong :) [04:59] ho ho, I am brand new to this [04:59] is it possible that if the previous mirror has already cached some data then it it is not possible to change mirror due to conflicting issues? [05:00] Jordan_U? [05:02] rajivmars: I would not expect it to work that way. I expect that everyone using this mirror is having the same problem as you. (Again though, I may be completely wrong about the cause) [05:07] hi there everyone. I need some serious help. I installed ubuntu on virtualbox, and then I tried to install vbox guest additions to speed things up a little, cause without them things are awefully slow. I tried installing the virtualbox guest additions provided on the virtualbox machine, the iso thingie, it crashed ubuntu and after loging only a bla [05:07] ck screen was shown, so I had to chroot into ubuntu and remove it. I then tried to install the official ubuntu provided guest additions but not only shared folders don't work, also there seems to be no imprvement in speed, [05:07] please help me [05:08] what is the best way to install guest additions on ubuntu? [05:11] campitor: the #vbox channel has experience in this [05:13] thank you [05:28] i was wondering if someone could give me some advice: Im runnng ubuntu as xenserver guest, and the rdp is really slow. should i be using something else? xdmcp? vnc? its gigabit network and i just want a workable desktop, nothing fancy [05:41] when I run simple scan as a user it only scan a black page .... when I run it as root it scans properly ... what do I do to fix this?

(A) Why TF does ubu have to autojoin you to #ubuntu when you connect, (b) why does it steal your focus to do so? [07:08] hi [07:09] can somebody pls tell me the name of a good free&open source IRC client? [07:09] i am using mIRC and they are asking for money :-( [07:09] Hexchat, IceChat [07:10] ty AngelBaby879 [07:10] U welcome I use hexchat a lot actually [07:10] also, how do I disable the Amazon on Ubuntu? [07:13] ahh, I am on HexChat! [08:03] anyway I could simulate usb disconnect-reconnect? [08:03] I have tried the usbreset.c script, but it's not working for me [08:03] and I am unsure how the modprobe solution works [08:04] following instructions from https://superuser.com/questions/141908/how-do-i-reset-an-usb-device-without-unplugging-it-in-linux === neon is now known as Guest38773 [09:16] hello guys. i've installed apache and run it on port 80 as default. when i try nc -zv localhost 80 , it returns tcp/http success. but when somebody try to connect me from outside of network, it doesn't work ! i checked ufw and disable it but nothing changed! also when i change port 80 to 7777 and do ip-forwarding in my router page, apache works for others and they can access it successfully. [09:17] so what's cause of this problem ? [09:18] B14CK-SPID3R: Outside of network is on the other side of the router, you mean? You run apache locally on some internal IP? [09:20] B14CK-SPID3R: you need port forwarding for port 80 as well if you need it for any other port [09:20] jink: yup. he's on the other side of router. i run apache by default config. when i try by my public ip it works. but when i try it by canyouseeme.com it shows that my port is close! [09:21] ducasse: i try it before. i forward port 80 WAN to 192.168.1.3:80. but doesn't work [09:21] B14CK-SPID3R: Get a decent router? Port forwarding is your only option, really. [09:22] B14CK-SPID3R: And if you want to be a regular http site, you'll need to use 80 (and 443) on the outside. Doesn't matter which port you use on the inside, since you're forwarding. [09:23] i configure it on pppoe. forward WAN:7777 to 192.168.1.3:7777 and change the apache default config to work with port 7777. it works for me and canyouseeme shows success! [09:23] but when i try this way by port 80, it doesn't work ! [09:25] also i have this problem with port 22 ! [09:27] B14CK-SPID3R: Your router eats up certain ports because your ISP doesn't want you to host stuff at home. [09:36] jink: it means that i have to change default port to some unknown ports? [09:38] B14CK-SPID3R: it means the standard ports are blocked, yes [09:39] hlw [09:39] B14CK-SPID3R: it is quite common for isps to do this many places [09:40] ducasse: Thank you guys for you helping :X [09:41] My .bash_profile isn't executing when I log on [09:43] why might it not execute? [09:44] B14CK-SPID3R: https://www.vultr.com/pricing/ [09:45] luxio: You're not using bash? The shell isn't interactive? The file isn't readable? [09:47] jink: I'm pretty sure I'm using bash, since my .bash_aliases is working. The shell is interactive, and I can `cat ~/.bash_profile`. [09:47] echo $0 [09:48] echo $0 [09:48] bash [09:48] There you go. :D [09:48] ? [09:48] Well, you're using bash. [09:48] yeah [09:48] but .bash_profile isn't loaded [09:49] also when I press tab I get this: https://pastebin.com/Q4d6MJU8 [09:49] Try bash -v ? [09:49] bash-completion making a mess? [09:49] https://pastebin.com/fRVa2R4f [09:49] jink: [09:49] luxio: .profile will be loaded, but not .bash_profile. I suggest you just use .profile [09:50] what why? it was working perfectly fine before [09:50] before? [09:51] yeah like an hour ago [09:51] now my terminal is all weird [09:51] ... well it depends on how you log in [09:51] luxio: What changed? :D [09:51] I have no clue [09:51] xorg/wayland wouldn't make a difference right? [09:52] It shouldn't, afaik. [09:52] what really confuses me is why I get that when I press tab [09:52] when you log in graphically, the DM (lightdm by default) will source ~/.profile specifically, before running your session. It will not source ~/.bash_profile [09:53] Because it's not bash. That makes sense. When you use bash, it'll use .bash_profile. [09:53] indeed, if you log in at the virtual console, or via ssh, .bash_profile will be sourced if it exists, and if your login shell is bash [09:53] I am running bash though [09:53] We established that. [09:53] Well, you're using bash. [09:54] so to have the same file for all three of those cases, use .profile instead of .bash_profile, and make sure .profile only contain sh-compatible syntax [09:54] alright but it was sourcing .bash_profile like an hour ago before I rebooted [09:54] luxio: Can you temporarily disable the bash completion stuff on lines 189-195 from your paste? [09:55] luxio: how do you know it did that? [09:55] geirha: because it set my PATH [09:55] now my PATH isn't the same [09:55] https://pastebin.com/DH1EeTzL [09:55] that's what my .bash_profile is [09:56] and here's what I get when I `echo $PATH`: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin [09:56] perhaps you also have a .profile which contained the same PATH change? [09:56] why would it be loading .profile now instead of .bash_profile though? why the sudden switch? [09:56] anyway, put those lines in ~/.profile and remove ~/.bash_profile. Should work fine after that [09:57] luxio: like I said, it always loads .profile on *graphical* login [09:57] Yes, and I've done graphical logins in the past. I always do graphical logins. Including my most recent login. [09:58] I click my username and type in my password. [09:58] perhaps your .profile also sources .bash_profile? [09:59] or perhaps your terminal emulator was configured to run login shells, giving you the illusion bash_profile was read on login [09:59] I'm using the default gnome terminal emulator [09:59] and if you're saying it sources .profile and that sources .bash_profile, then my PATH should be different [10:00] I'm not saying that, I'm asking if that's the case. I don't see how else .bash_profile would be loaded [10:03] luxio: Can you temporarily disable the bash completion stuff on lines 189-195 from your paste? [10:03] I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I rebooted and chose Wayland as my DM and now everything's back to normal [10:04] ... [10:04] Ok. [10:07] hey guys [10:07] use this [10:07] https://github.com/tmm2018/TMM_SHELL [10:07] i made it with a lot of passion for the community [10:07] :) [10:08]
