[00:03] corect its for a chatbot or an Ai [00:07] nighty night [00:08] http://meta-guide.com/software-meta-guide/100-best-github-aiml ubuntu [00:09] argh [00:27] adran turns out its something to do with virtual box gues additions, i disabled that and ubuntu works now (albeit in a still fucky state) [00:28] Jack3k3: if you're comfortable, KVM is way better if you're just doing linux [00:28] cool ill take a look [00:29] what executes /etc/init.d/cron on startup? it doesn't start on my VM [00:29] I have to execute 'service cron start' manually [00:30] Athonathonathon: is GRUB_DEFAULT set in /etc/default/grub ? also, check /boot/grub/grub.cfg, ensure the first 'menuentry' is using the 4.13 kernel (on it's linux ... line) [00:36] anyone? [00:36] GRUB_DEFAULT is set to "Kubuntu" which is my first entry in Grub, and the first menuentry is set to use 4.10.0-33-generic. I've also noticed that the first menu entry does not have the settings I have set in the /etc/default/grub file on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line [00:48] anyone know why cron isn't running on startup on ubuntu 16.04 lts? === zer0 is now known as Guest69310 [00:50] Athonathonathon: OK, so that suggests "sudo update-grub" isn't writing to the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg, or it is, it's selecting the wrong kernel. Check "ls -l /boot/{vmlinuz,initrd.img}-*" that you've got an initrd.img for the 4.13 kernel [00:50] Athonathonathon: update-grub won't add a kernel entry if it doesn't have an initrd.img [00:53] Tj there are both vmlinuz and initrd files for 4.13.0-32, 4.13.0-31 and 4.10.0-33 [00:58] I completely wiped my sd card with shred --delete and now I can't see the card with fdisk -l or gparted but I can dd to it with dd of=/dev/sdb. How do I recognize it to format it in this situation? [00:59] Why has the "Hibernate" feature disappeared by default from most distros in last years? [01:12] Athonathonathon: OK, see if there's any mention of that version with "grep -n 4\.13 /boot/grub/grub.cfg " [01:14] Tj: There is some stuff popping up, looks to be in the entries in the default grub "Advanced options for kubuntu" menu [01:19] Athonathonathon: Right; usually the most recent kernel version is the default, and then there's 2 or 3 entries for that version under Advanced ( standard + recovery) [01:19] Athonathonathon: check the timestamp on the file in case it's not the one being generated by "sudo update-grub" with "ls -latr /boot/grub/" [01:20] Athonathonathon: sometimes on EFI systems it might be using the EFI-SP, so try "find /boot -type f -name grub.cfg -ls " [01:22] So i ran `sudo update-grub` and then `ls -latr /boot/grub` and the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file had a very recent time stamp so I know thta it's being generated properly but when i ran `find /boot -type f -name grub.cfg -ls` there were actually two grub.cfg files found [01:22] one in /boot/grub/ and the other in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg [01:22] Athonathonathon: hmmm, one in /boot/efi/ ? [01:22] yup [01:23] Athonathonathon: and I bet that one in /boot/efi/ is the one with the 4.10 default ! [01:24] hm... [01:24] It doesn't appear so [01:24] It's only three lines [01:24] Athonathonathon: "grep 'linux.*vmlinuz' /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg" should show the order [01:25] Here's its contents: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nvTtKxyFM8/ [01:26] Looks like it points the configuration to /boot/grub/grub.cfg :/ [01:26] However, looking at my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file the default one is still using the 4.10 kernel [01:26] Athonathonathon: ahhh... and so does the UUID match the file-system where that is? "sudo blkid /dev/sd?? | grep 775f04f7-bc19-4557-8b50-3aadf96b996c" [01:27] Athonathonathon: OK, so there's likely something changed in /etc/grub/grub.d/ scripts, or in the /etc/default/grub file where the configuration is set by the user [01:29] I don't think it's the /etc/default/grub file. It's contents are here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/N5cp9F4qQt/ [01:30] The only things of interest are i have it set to boot after 3 seconds. I have some options to try to get hibernation working (that's still WIP it's not working but i dont think it's the source here), and I have a background image [01:30] Athonathonathon: GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false"% [01:30] Ah [01:30] needs a newline at the end of the file? [01:31] I've done that and it's gone. I'll update grub again and report how it goes [01:33] Hmm, I've run `sudo update-grub` but in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file it's still 4.10 [01:33] However I've noticed above the menuentry it has "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom_proxy ###", so should we check /etc/grub.d/40_custom_proxy? [01:33] Hi, I have setup automated upgrades but I'm not sure I did it right. When I look at the unattended upgrades log, I see it is doing something but the same updates are always present so I suspect it's not installing them. And when I ssh into the machine, the number of can be updated and security updates count in the banner keep going up. I have a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic file, would that override anything [01:34] set in 20auto-upgrades or 50unattended-upgrades? Or is it the other way around and the highest number takes precedence? [01:34] Athonathonathon: can you "pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" so I know precisely what the system sees? [01:34] yeah sure thing [01:35] hfp: run-parts processes names alphabetically from lowest to highest so 01-ffff before 99-aaaa [01:36] Here it is: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VhfKCtQgnX/ [01:37] And here is /etc/grub.d/40_custom_proxy: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wR2Cq6dCTq/ [01:38] Athonathonathon: Arghhh... all those proxy things, we've seen this before. It's some 3rd party grub menu customiser that breaks every so often [01:39] haha yeah..... I might have one of those [01:39] grub-customizer [01:40] https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer [01:40] That's the one! I recall dealing with a similar issue with that breaking the config [01:40] Ok so how do we fix it? [01:41] (as in uninstall it and restore grub to it's default configuration) [01:41] Athonathonathon: I'm not sure; I'd hope it's a standard package that can be dealt with via apt [01:42] Yeah [01:42] Athonathonathon: might be worth checking for bug reports for the package on Launchpad [01:45] Could i get rid of the proxy scripts in /etc/grub.d ? [01:46] Athonathonathon: I suspect it's got it's hooks into things too deep and moved the original scripts out, so they need returning. There's no telling what else it's done [01:47] TJ-: So it means that the thing set in the file with the highest number takes precedence? [01:49] Could i theoretically run a `sudo apt install --reinstall grub` ? [01:49] hfp: no, the opposite. lowest to highest. It just relies on a sorted directory listing using the current locale [01:51] Athonathonathon: You'd actually need to do more than that since the package containing the scripts is grub-common and it's not clear what else the customiser might change - it might be alterning /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig too [01:51] hmmmm [01:53] Could this possibly help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [01:54] what is this [01:57] TJ-: I see... Any way to test my unattended-upgrades setup? [01:58] I am going nuts. it works from windows but not linux: ip x.x.x.6 gateway: x.x.x.1 netmask 255.255.255.128 [01:58] I can ping x.x.x.5 and x.x.x.8 (both mine and up) but cant ping x.x.x.1 which is my gateway. [01:59] What can be wrong? It works just fine from Windows? [02:00] hi everyone i have laptop A and B..both running linux mint. both are reported to have 1366x768 resolution, but in linux i see A set to 1600x900 and B is set to 1366x768 and wont go any higher. also, when running the same game, A performs smoothly on same settings while B performs a bit laggy. laptop A game resolution is also set to 1600x900 laptop B game setting limited at 1366x768 === zer0 is now known as Guest33274 [02:02] laptop A has a radeon hd 6470m with only 256mb dedicated ram while laptop be is radeon r5 via an amd a8 apu with i think just direct memory access, no dedicated ram. is ram the bottleneck? [02:02] hfp: see "man unattended-upgrade" - the --dry-run option [02:03] breetai: check "ip route show" [02:04] !mint | merryganjas [02:04] merryganjas: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [02:10] TJ-: thanks [02:20] are all apps protected by apparmor in ubuntu 16.04 or does it need to be turned on === TabMasher is now known as Shoggoth [02:32] Tj-: I might have found the source of my trouble [02:33] This is the contents of the /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/custom file: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cZsgDD2s7p/ [02:33] looks like that 4.10 kernel is hard coded in [02:35] Athonathonathon: urgh! [02:35] Looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/CustomMenus under Maintenance-Free Menuentries it says "There is a potential drawback of a custom menu when the 10_linux and/or 30_os-prober scripts have been disabled. A copied Linux menuentry normally contains a specific kernel and initrd image version number (such as 3.2.0-24) and will not change if a new kernel is introduced.

[02:43] Like [02:43] App store [02:43] no [02:43] That sucks [02:43] I'll wait for Ubuntu to be up [02:44] Note that the bug affects all derivatives of Ubuntu [02:44] so you claim and yet you still haven't filed it. thanks. [02:44] Tj-: Thanks so much for the help! I've got it working now `uname -r` returns 4.13.0-32-generic [02:44] There's no easy way to submit [02:44] Athonathonathon: Yay!! [02:44] Athonathonathon, outstanding! [02:44] TJ- I fixed the bug [02:45] Nvidia drivers on install are messed up [02:45] iNeedHealing: let us know the bug # when you've reported it [02:45] OK, thanks for the help earlier :) [02:46] You're a star [02:46] iNeedHealing: pleased you figured out the cause; it was a weird one [02:46] I wish cfhowlett were like you and not so aggressive [02:48] Tj-: the problem appeared to be when i renamed the grub menu entry from the default "Ubuntu" to "Kubuntu" it saved the state of the menu entry and hard coded it every time "update-grub" was ran. === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy [03:10] Hey, my Ubuntu GUI keeps crashing all the time!

[05:12] Jack3k3 - Boot a Live image, chroot into the system, install at, and reboot? [05:12] hi [05:12] Menzador, theres gotta be an easier way than that though [05:13] I mean, chrooting *is* pretty easy, as I have to do it once in a blue moon to fix network drivers and other such things the kernel doesn't support in my hardware :P [05:13] !chroot [05:13] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [05:14] yeah but i have no live cd, makes things alot more complicated. I think crontab can do it, just need confirmation.. it seems like I could add the command in there [05:22] what executes /etc/init.d/cron on startup? it doesn't start on my VM runinng ubuntu 16.04 for some reason [05:23] intx - Ubuntu uses systemd, not sysvinit or upstart [05:24] thanks === [1]Jack3k3 is now known as Jack3k3 [05:34] а русские тут есть?

[07:15] hi [07:17] Does anyone know how I could run a telnet server on 16.04? [07:17] telnet? folk still do that? [07:17] All the guides I could find are for CentOS or 14.04 [07:17] eraserpencil, what is the point? telnetd went out long ago because it's insecure [07:17] aye [07:18] anyway, telnet is integral to ubuntu. opne a terminal. type telnet. do your thing. [07:18] it's a small project im on that uses windows and has communication over telnet [07:18] hoping to hack it with ubuntu and telnet [07:18] cfhowlett, telnet server, not client [07:18] ah, sorry [07:19] im unfamiliar with telnet but how do i configure telnet server or even host one? I've been trying and googling for half a day [07:19] eraserpencil, did you try google? as in telent + server + configuration? [07:20] tutorial configs for 14.04 are slightly different for 16.04 and I couldnt make it work [07:20] literally the very first hit [07:20] !telnet | eraserpencil [07:20] eraserpencil: telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [07:20] thats for CentOS? [07:21] eraserpencil, are you not on ubuntu? [07:21] yea [07:21] http://ubuntuguide.net/install-and-enable-telnet-server-in-ubuntu-linux [07:21] eraserpencil, this is ubuntu support we wont offer hints on centos here [07:22] cfhowlett: I tried this, but couldnt get it working. [07:23] bazhang: yea, i meant the top hit for me was a 2017 tutorial for centos and was surprised hence "that's for CentOS?" [07:24] cfhowlett: i was missing /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and wasnt sure if i should create a file [07:24] Ok, I have a newbie-ish question. How do I un-associate .sh scripts from a text editor so I can run it? [07:24] Running xubuntu 17.10 [07:24] eraserpencil, I'm no telnet talent. and, as bazhang pointed out, it's inherently unsafe, insecure and should not be used. see ssh for a much better alternative. [07:26] I'm trying to execute it from Thunar, tho. Is it the filemanager that is making the association to open the .sh script with a text editor instead of running it? [07:27] EuphOria: you need an inet superserver, which one did you install? that tutorial seems to be for xinetd [07:27] eraserpencil: ^^ [07:27] sorry [07:28] Hi, how does bug-fixing in Ubuntu work? Say, there is a known, reported bug in a main package with an upstream fix available, but there is no activity on the bug report. What is supposed to happen? [07:28] ducasse: I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm just asking about executing .sh scripts instead of having them open in a text editor. [07:28] pwuertz, depends on the severity of the bug. best bet: subscribe to it. [07:28] EuphOria: that message was not for you, sorry [07:28] ducasse: Ah! :D [07:29] cfhowlett: Done, thats why I'm asking. [07:29] ducasse: the apt repo seems to only have a telnet and telnetd package which i have installed [07:29] pwuertz, the bug status will reflect the severity. which bug is it? [07:29] my Ubuntu 14.04 system with luks-encrypted filesystems / and /var/directory complains, on boot, that: the disk drive for /var/directory is not ready yet or not present. any idea what could cause this issue ? the partition works when mounted manually with cryptsetup [07:30] and mount [07:30] hello [07:30] cfhowlett: thanks, i know it's less secure, but the default communication of this particular windows software is over telnet, hoping to listen in on it and maybe inject codes to it [07:30] Is my question too newbie-ish to be interesting? lol [07:31] best of luck, sorry I couldn't be more helpful eraserpencil [07:31] eraserpencil: not what i'm talking about, you also need an inet superserver like xinetd - look at the dependencies [07:31] cfhowlett: thanks though [07:31] Is it possible to have both IKEv2 and L2TP over IPSec VPN server (Strongswan) set up on the same server? [07:32] EuphOria, don't you need to change the properties to make the script executable? [07:32] cfhowlett: Yes, and I've done that. But it still wants to open in a text editor, or associated program. [07:32] ducasse: let me read up on xinetd [07:32] Several, basically over the years I got the impression that none of the bugs I report are getting any attention from someone that has some kind of say in it. Thats why I'm asking what the general procedure for resolving bugs should be. [07:33] cfhowlett: But the particular bug I'm talking about right now is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1725333 [07:33] Launchpad bug 1725333 in glibc (Ubuntu) "do-release-upgrade broke WSL" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:34] EuphOria: open a terminal and run it: ./nameofscript [07:35] pwuertz, seems to be undecided and unassigned. until that is changed ... subscribe and wait [07:36] auronandace: Yes, I can run the script from a terminal, but it used to run .sh files from the file manager just fine. Was wondering how to make it run from a filemanager again, and just manually open .sh files with a text editor rather than have it associated with a text editor to automatically open. [07:39] eraserpencil: in theory i guess you should be able to start telnetd directly from systemd on connection, but i'm not familiar with how [07:40] ducasse: my guess too but i'll see if ##linux might know something [07:41] cfhowlett: I did subscribe and wait. I did so with all the bugs I reported so far, some of them are years old and never got any attention from somebody of authority. I'm quite disstatisfied with that strategy, it obviously doesn't work. [07:42] pwuertz, "so say we all!" but, yes, you are right on all accounts. thus far, however, no one seems to have proposed a more responsive alternative. [07:42] pwuertz: also good things to get solved, is try steps yourself and add to the bug, like other kernel etc [07:43] pwuertz: finding other users to subrscribe to the bug also helps alot [07:45] lotuspsychje: Like being a politician? Its so weird. Like in this example, the bug is identified, fix is available, and nobody reacts to the Ubuntu bug report saying so. There is literally no reason not to release the fix right now. [07:47] Ok, I have a question about finding out where my JRE directory is.. I have Oracle JRE 8 and 9 installed, and a program is asking me to specify the directory for the JRE. How do I determine which "java" the system is using when I type "java -jar whatever.jar" [07:47] lotuspsychje: Another bug is.. I don't know.. 5 years old. I took the effort to identify the source of the problem, for years the solution is known, people are bickering about it in the bug report. But never ever someone with maintaining authority did show up. [07:48] EuphOria: 'which java' will tell you [07:48] ducasse: Thank you, I will try that. [07:48] pwuertz: like i said, try to fill in stuff yourself, test steps, make your bug 'more active' [07:49] pwuertz: test on other machines, to see if you can reproduce your bug [07:55] lotuspsychje: What do you mean? I mean I already presented the solution on a silver platter in some cases. In some cases the presence of a bug is reported, known and fixed upstream, and attention is brought to the Ubuntu maintainers by bug report, yet nobody shows up to comment on that. So you guys say that isn't effort enough, you have to become some kind of politician to get something fixed? [07:56] pwuertz, really here is not the place to carry on about bugfixes [07:57] ughhh, i just killed my ubuntu install and now recovery and normal boot drop to a busybox shell. I know how to fix it, but as far as I can tell there are no text edittors in busy box... fuck!! any help? [07:57] bazhang: Where is this place you are suggesting? The Ubuntu bug tracker doesn't seem to be the right place obviously. [07:57] pwuertz if you feel that strong, fix it yourself. every dev donates his time for free on those issues that you logged. [07:57] pwuertz: maybe #ubuntu-bugs is a better place [07:57] kille: It IS already fixed! Thats the joke. [07:57] pwuertz, thats enough here please [07:58] I dont understand why they drop you to a shell that has no text editor :[ [07:58] All right, see you. === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [07:58] is my only solution a live cd? [08:00] Jack3k3, if all else fails, that sounds like a good option? [08:00] You don't have access to vi or nano or anything? [08:01] kille no it drops you to a bare busybox ash shell if you have a problem like "gave up waiting for root device" [08:02] Jack3k3 wow. that's rough, but it sounds like you have a solution? live cd it. :) [08:03] Jack3k3, doesn't it have vi? [08:04] Bliss9 unbelievably not [08:04] im pretty pissed actually. what is even the purpose [08:04] Jack3k3, odd, the manpage lists it [08:05] yeah i dont know what the deal is [08:13] Okay guys, apparently my fix did not work. because nothing is every easy for me today [08:14] So my error is "gave up waiting for root device." and it says "ALERT! UUID=.......-b850fad1020f does not exist. Dropping to a shell. [08:15] So first i verified uuid's were same between fstab and blkid [08:15] also tried changing fstab to use /dev/sda1 /dev/sda5 [08:15] instead of uuid. One thing that's strange, I could've sworn before my root was on /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 [08:15] could be wrong though [08:15] actually probably am since sda1 is the partition [08:18] Jack3k3: the uuid it's using is from grub not fstab i think [08:18] strangely enough using one of the older kernel versions in the boot list boots up fine [08:18] Jack3k3: do you have a live usb you can boot right now to troubleshoot? [08:18] so im back in now [08:19] Jack3k3: aha, upload your grub file 'cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termview.me 9999' [08:19] also 'sudo blkid | nc termview.me 9999' [08:19] EriC^^, I can't, internet is broken on the VM [08:19] hm [08:20] I realized I made a major screw up yesterday. I remove boost by hand as I thought a program I was compilign was seeing the wrong version.. [08:20] apparently I neglected to think about all the programs that depended on those libraries [08:20] nm-applet is one of them itseems [08:20] Jack3k3: run "lsblk -f" look at the mountpoint "/" [08:21] shows sda1 mountpoint to / [08:21] with the same ...1020f uuid [08:21] Jack3k3: then run "grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and see if the UUID= match up to it [08:24] so? [08:24] EriC^^, looks the same [08:25] ok [08:25] ?profane [08:25] EriC^^, https://imgur.com/a/06vL0 not sure if theere is a reason why there are 3 entries for 112 [08:25] (112 is the one thats not working) [08:26] hey guys, is it safe to purge whoopsie and apport... [08:26] Jack3k3: one is the menu, the other in advanced options and recovery, it's normal [08:26] on ubuntu mate there's no "privacy settings" to disable crash reporting [08:27] Jack3k3: anyways, try maybe 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all && sudo update-grub' won't hurt === gms is now known as Guest27137 [08:29] EriC^^, hmm same issue sadly [08:29] doge-doge: sudo xdiagnose has some options [08:30] Jack3k3: it's now always working with one kernel and not the other? [08:30]
