[00:06] Have an ancient Ubuntu install in a Digital Ocean droplet. It got rebooted, and now it says the kernel is missing. When I look in /boot, I see all the relevant files that are pointed to from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. What else would cause the kernel to show up as missing? [00:07] I have access to the system via chroot. I'm just not sure what to do to get it fixed, as it doesn't look like anything is wrong. Unless I'm missing a step in troubleshooting. [00:10] SuperLag, is your /boot full? maybe an apt-get update that stopped halfway? [00:11] frostschutz: Nope. 5.5GB free. [00:14] SuperLag: your best option is to ask DO what happened -- they have a weird way to set kernels [00:19] oh, I don't know digital ocean at all... is it real virtualization (like KVM)? Otherwise sometimes, you don't even get to choose your own kernel [00:21] Could anyone help me write a bash script? [00:23] frostschutz: I think it's Xen-based [00:23] streetwitch, there is #bash here on #freenode [00:24] streetwitch, you didn't even pastebined it [00:24] pastebin* [00:31] DO is... meh in terms of how they have things set up. [00:42] Hi everyone. [00:42] word [00:42] I have a very weird issue. All my screencasts (SHIFT ALT CTRL R) are 0 bytes. Like nothing is actually being saved. What could be wrong here?? [00:43] I'm trying to copy a website and download all pdfs on it, i'm trying to use wget to do this but it always copies the site but doesn't grab the pdfs. the folders and pdfs are located about 4-5 folders deep [00:43] the site copies fine and the folders are all downloaded but they don't contain pdfs... the site is wordpress if that helps [00:53] I am having with ubuntu on windows linux [00:54] How do I post a short video clip somewhere related to a problem I want to ask about?

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [01:03] !ubuwin [01:03] Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [01:03] crond: --^ that's the faq you wanted, and the answer is no :) [01:03] nacc, cool, I didn't know about that one :) ty [01:03] how can a dns leak still happen if you have all traffic blocked except thought a vpn? [01:04] joecoc1916, so you want to go to one of those channels [01:05] hotbakedpotato[m: One way is if the DNS server you were using prior to connecting to the VPN is on your interface's local network. [01:05] my pi hole did that. [01:06] hotbakedpotato[m: Changing your default route to go through the VPN doesn't remove the connected route that exists for the physical connection. It can't, in fact, because you lose all connectivity - including through the VPN - if that connected route is missing. === w0dencafe is now known as wodencafe [01:07] its fixed now so..but i was curious as to how that traffic was slipping through.. other applications seemed blocked..and i had it to only allow connections to the ip:port of the vpn. [01:08] then once connected other apps could use the vpn [01:11] hotbakedpotato[m, oh here you are. :) [01:12] im here :P [01:13] metastable, what's a "connected" route? is it the default gateway for the physical network interface that provides the uplink for the VPN tunnel? [01:13] Sven_vB: Any interface in the up state automatically creates a route entry for the local subnet defined by that interface's address and prefix. [01:14] oh, of course [01:14] Sven_vB: That route simply states that the next-hop interface for all traffic destined for the local subnet should simply be sent out that connected interface. [01:14] yeah that makes sense. [01:15] so if some machine like a "home router" acts as a DN server, it would be reachable. [01:15] i think i may know how..i have it setup to where the local network can access out. for home networking..maybe that is how it got out [01:15] 192.168.1.0/24 out? [01:16] like for home networking === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB [01:20] That's the connected route that I'm referring to. === dingir___ is now known as dingir_ [01:20] Your system has to know how to route the encapsulating VPN traffic, so the connected route - to your gateway - has to be preserved even when the VPN is running. [01:22] yes thats probably it metastable i got the dns leak fixed you think i should block off that traffic too? would anything else go through it to the internet? [01:23] i thought leaving it open for home networking would be a good idea but i dont want traffic slipping to the internet through it [01:23] hotbakedpotato[m: You can't, or you won't be able to send any traffic through the VPN. [01:23] well i have the firewall set to allow the ip:port of the vpn to get through to connect. [01:24] the vpn has exceptions [01:24] but its specefic ips to a specific ports [01:24] for the vpn [01:24] then when its established other apps can use tun0 [01:25] your saying blocking home networking would still block it? === rax-Y is now known as rax- [01:27] It's possible, yes. You can't wall off traffic to the local gateway, or you have no way of routing VPN traffic to the other end. [01:27] i understand thanks. [01:49] I have two drives, one was a backup of the other. On those, the files were grouped by backup date. I've since sorted the files on the first drive into logical groups (i.e. graphics, links, notes, etc). Is there a (relatively fast, relatively simple) way of verifying that there's a copy of every file on the second drive (still sorted by date) on the first drive (now sorted by groups)? [01:52] If I hadn't organized the files on the first drive, I could just compare the directories, but now that I have changed the order, that seems shot. Manually, I could just look for each file one at a time, but I'm hoping for something similar to how something like fslint can identify duplicates, even with different names, but basically instead of finding all duplicates, just finding any match, then moving on to the next file. I expect there' [01:57] boblamont: have you also changed the filenames for some of the files ? [02:00] coraxx: yes, though only if there were multiple copies on the first drive, so that probably wouldn't be much of an issue (the originals should still have the matching name, too) [02:04] boblamont: then I would must likely go for the "find" solution ... where you list all filenames ( maybe get size, modified date to) with find ." from both folders and stream it to a textfile... then use that to match up. === bijan_ is now known as bijan_awaaaay === bijan_awaaaay is now known as bijan_ === bijan_ is now known as bijan_awaaaay [02:08] boblamont: depending on the filestructure size and the complexity of the filenames, I would maybe put the if in a temporary database like SQLite ... so I could use SQL to query the data for a more complex comparison. [02:08] *put the if = put the file [02:15] coraxx: I should be able to use diff on the lists I get from the find, right? If the files are the way I think they are, only the first drive would have anything unique or different. [02:17] boblamont: if you have the same number of files in both textfiles on the are sorted the same, then you can use diff ... otherwise its gotta go through a script or SQL. [02:17] *on = and === bijan_awaaaay is now known as bijan_ [02:19] Does anyone have some time to assist with an issue I've got setting up 17.10? [02:19] What issue would that be?

[02:20] Tried installing 390, 387 and 384, using both the PPA and the .run file from nVidia [02:20] boblamont: yw :-) [02:21] I've also had this issue on Lubuntu 17.10 and Mint 18.2 and 18.3 [02:22] hiig, we can only offer you support for Ubuntu here [02:22] hiig, and its official derivatives, including Lubuntu but not Mint [02:23] Yeah, that's fine.
