[00:54] need some help troubleshooting sudo for domain admins I have added %CP\\Accounting ALL=(All:ALL) ALL using visudo. then "samba-tool group listmembers Accounting" returns holly. then trying sudo I get holly is not in the sudoers file. [01:00] did holly relogin ? [01:01] kenrin:yes [01:01] I just 2x checked to make sure [01:02] Then you probably added the domain and|or group wrong [01:04] kenrin:that's why I copied and pasted the lines here. I cant find anything wrong with what was entered [01:04] You going to have to trial and error, it also depends on how the domain is joined sometimes too [01:05] For all you know the group could be like %CP\ Account@cp.com [01:05] Hello, i need to help for create bootable win in linux ubuntu [01:06] kenrin: samba-tool group list returns "Accounting" among the other groups that are there [01:07] how create a NTFS partition on the USB stick, e.g. /dev/sdb1, and mark it bootable ? [01:08] That doesn't matter really. My test setup I did one day required them in kerberos like realm fashion. using the full Accounting@DOMAIN.COM [01:08] There is really too many variations to list but google should help [01:10] JOIN [01:13] kenrin: is there a way to ask sudo to do more logging so I can see what it's failing on? [01:14] I've read about 50 googled sites that say the way to add to sudoers is %DOMAIN\Group (variations on what to do with the spaces in group name which is why I chose Accounting to test with) [01:14] Not that I know of, the authlog likely just says blank is not in the sudoers file. blah blah [01:14] yes very little info in authlog === manacit_ is now known as manacit [01:19] Hi, I need a script with root permission to run every time I start the computer, or every time I login.

[01:32] problem's login [01:33] Average-user: you either want an upstart script or sysvinit script. check /etc/init.d/ for examples, you can probably copy and modify a simple script from there. otherwise look at the UbuntuBootupHowto wiki page [01:41] what is the primary way of starting and stopping services in 16.04?

[01:45] thanks leftyfb [01:46] Simonious: try changing your DNS to a public resolver like googles; 8.8.8.8 [01:57] leftyfb: apparently I don't know how to set up my dns, give me a hint. [01:59] sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf will temporarily fix it [01:59] But that is usually controlled by DHCP or whatever you input when you add the IP address [02:01] kenrin: indeed, that did work, which is neat, because that file did not previously exist.

By "long" I mean longer than before and longer than you would expect for an SSD. Additionally, just now I had a crash. I turned off the display fn+F7, and it didn't want to turn on again, YT music in the background stopped and it died. I forcefully turned it off by holding power button. During the restart it popped an error (something Lookup [02:57] table, didn't have time to take a pic) and then repeated to crash again. This is the 3rd restart of my laptop and it seems to have been able to boot into a clean version (no recovery during boot phase performed I suppose).

Q&A from 15 years ago stil exists except its out of date :p [03:02] phillijw: I would suggest removing all of it and just installing nvidia-384 [03:02] not sure how to even remove it tbh [03:02] phillijw: sudo ppa-purge ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [03:03] phillijw: if that doesn't work, we'll remove it manually [03:03] command not found :( [03:03] ok [03:05] phillijw: sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graphics-drivers-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list* ; sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* [03:06] it did stuff and then complained and suggests doing apt-get -f install again [03:08] phillijw: pastebin please [03:09] phillijw: sudo apt-get remove --purge libvdpau1 [03:09] https://pastebin.com/qqajsujr [03:10] The purge says these are unmet: mesa-vdpau-drivers : Depends: libvdpau1 but it is not going to be installed [03:11] phillijw: sudo apt-get remove --purge libvdpau1 mesa-vdpau-drivers [03:11] same with nvidia-settings [03:11] now its nvidia-settings vdpau-driver-all === redphantom is now known as redphantom2 [03:12] phillijw: sudo apt-get remove --purge libvdpau1 mesa-vdpau-drivers libcuda1-* nvidia-* vdpau-drivers-all [03:13] E: Unable to locate package vdpau-drivers-all [03:13] phillijw: sudo apt-get remove --purge libvdpau1 mesa-vdpau-drivers libcuda1-* nvidia-* [03:13] oh, sorry. first run sudo apt-get update [03:14] vdpau-driver-all : Depends: mesa-vdpau-drivers but it is not going to be installed [03:14] feels very circular :) === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:15] can you pastebin it all please [03:16] https://pastebin.com/zerVGELv [03:18] you ran apt-get update right?

[03:54] krytarik: I'll keep that in mind, thank you. [04:01] whats the password associated with sshing to the ubuntu core? [04:01] hello everyone [04:02] sparrowsword: why are you using ubuntu core? [04:02] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/n4up sorry for delay [04:03] phillijw: :) [04:03] leftyfb: does it matter? im just trying to login [04:04] sparrowsword: yes, it does. Because ubuntu core is a pretty specific use case which requires reading documentation to get setup [04:04] sparrowsword: https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started [04:04] yeah ive read that [04:05] its very unspecific on how to ssh [04:05] phillijw: Yhis far : change the wily " deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu wily main" to xenial if you are to keep dropbox . [04:05] sparrowsword: did you setup your Ubuntu SSO account with ssh key as the documentation specifies as step 1? [04:05] leftyfb: yes [04:06] leftyfb: its just sitting at the screen on the pi that says heres how to login ssh username@10.0.0.x [04:06] and some encryption types, but it asks for a password when i try to ssh, and idk it [04:06] ok, and are you using the ssh key you setup on SSO to login? [04:06] leftyfb: is it the password that is associated with the ssh key? isnt that kind of pointless [04:06] yes [04:07] sparrowsword: there is no password [04:07] i tried enter as well, says invalid [04:07] sparrowsword: you need to use the ssh key to login [04:07] or permission denied [04:07] Bashing-om: done [04:07] leftyfb: so ssh on a powershell wont connect? thought it asks for a fingerprint though [04:07] sparrowsword: what username are you using to login? [04:07] the one i created leftyfb: [04:08] sparrowsword [04:08] the one you created where? [04:08] phillijw: Is /etc/apt/sources.list sane ? do we need to check ? [04:08] leftyfb: think it asks for a username when core first starts [04:08] sparrowsword: https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/raspberry-pi-2-3 look at "User login" on thaat page [04:09] Bashing-om: I think its okay. Everything is xenial or xenial-backports pretty much [04:09] sparrowsword: will you be using ubuntu core to develop your own snaps? [04:10] phillijw: K, lets ssee what is what then ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' . [04:10] leftyfb: havent really researched core tbh, just wanted pi to run a ubuntu server [04:10] sparrowsword: you are better off installing ubuntu mate [04:11] sparrowsword: ubuntu core is not ubuntu server [04:11] leftyfb: isnt that a desktop tho? [04:11] sparrowsword: remove the desktop aspects [04:11] all i need is a terminal tbh.. [04:11] Apachez: No, core also has no GUI bt default . [04:12] by* [04:12] sparrowsword: so you don't need the ability to install packages? [04:13] leftyfb: well that is the idea [04:13] to install [04:13] sparrowsword: then ubuntu core isn't what you're looking for [04:13] sparrowsword: it's not what you think [04:13] leftyfb: i understand [04:17] Bashing-om: success I think [04:19] now I don't rmember what I was originally trying to do [04:19] phillijw: What now returns ' sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg -C ' ? [04:19] nvidia drivers [04:20] oh I was actually trying to install some bios updating software (cmd prompt thing?) so I could update my bios so that I could run my videocard for the drivers that weren't working lol [04:21] Bashing-om: those commands completed successfully <3 [04:21] also ran autoremove just for fun and that worekd too [04:21] so basically old documentation on the internet is wahts causing all my woes :*( [04:21] ok, so... now I should install the updated nvidia drivers for the gtx 960 [04:21] what is plymouthd ? it always crash when I boot my system, can I just remove that? [04:22] phillijw: you should just try installing nvidia-384 before messing with bios updates that you think will make your video card work better [04:22] or can I use some parameter on grub commanline to disable it? [04:22] phillijw: :) .. now for a driver insall show us : lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' . [04:22] leftyfb: i'm 99% sure I also need a bios update because this computer BARELY started before it even got to the OS. It was going really slow which is a known issue for my bios I guess. I'll see though [04:22] hello? [04:23] fyi, I don't actually have hte card installed right now. I'm running on Intel onboard video [04:23] jusss: https://askubuntu.com/questions/407131/why-is-plymouthd-crashing-on-startup [04:24] i'm not saying you should follow those instructions but thats what it is [04:24] phillijw: wait then .. install the card and let dmks do it's job . [04:25] phillijw: if it is ok I use apt purge plymouthd? [04:25] Bashing-om: ok, will do [04:25] I would like to update my bios though. I have foxconn b75m but it only has EXE it seems http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000586 [04:26] is xdosemu the way to run the bios update? i'm scared [04:27] leftyfb: Bashing-om: thank you for the help btw [04:29] phillijw: Glad2help .. The only way I am aware of to update bios is from a DOS environment . [04:52] so, not sure what happened, but I installed MATE over the Unity desktop, and MATE became the default environment?

(the page says all supported releases have 2.6.7 available) [08:10] 16.04.2 [08:10] j [08:13] guiverc Occasionally apt says I have broken packages but apt install -f doesn't seem to repair anything (as people suggest.) [08:14] homey: why not 16.04.4? have you done 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' lately? [08:15] ducasse: locked to .2 for work at the moment. [08:16] that doesn't make any sense [08:16] nor does it explain why the install fails. [08:17] if you're limiting your system's updates it does [08:18] Ben64: libglademm-2.4-dev : Depends: libglade2-dev (>= 1:2.6.1) but it is not going to be installed [08:19] * guiverc sorry i got called away; thanks Ben64 ducasse [08:19] I'm just curious what cause this behavior... [08:19] do 'apt update && apt full-upgrade' then try [08:20] can you pastebin output of 'apt policy libglade2-dev'? [08:20] can't, might break my production stack, unfortuanetly [08:20] it won't [08:20] that just queries information [08:20] can't risk it, but thanks [08:20] one of the good things about ubuntu, and LTS in particular, is that version numbers don't change [08:20] I was referring to the upgrade not the query [08:21] ignoring updates based on paranoia only causes more problems [08:21] Understood, but also out of my hands... have to work around... [08:22] I'm trying to robustly run a python program on a server ... is `upstart` the preferred method for this? [08:22] tell whoever's hands its in that you need an updated system [08:22] jayjo: which ubuntu version are you using? [08:23] ducasse: Candidate: 1:2.6.4-2 [08:23] 16.04 LTS server [08:23] homey: pastebin 'sudo apt update && apt list --upgradable' [08:23] !systemd | jayjo give this a a go [08:23] jayjo give this a a go: systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers For a guide to basic service management with systemd, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units [08:24] EriC^^: thanks, I appreciate it [08:25] jayjo: no problem [08:26] ciao [08:26] !list [08:26] bladea: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [08:27] what did bladea just attempt? [08:28] what was s/he trying with "!list"? Is that an irc default command? [08:29] Ben64: My mistake, am on 16.04, guess they upgraded recently. [08:30] Sorry, 16.04.4 [08:32] can someone tell me how to make a program display it's icon rather than a question mark in the launcher on 16.04 please [08:33] I've edited the *.desktop file with the correct location of the icon but still not working [08:34] and the app is installed in /opt [08:34] opt generally requires elevated privledges unless I'm an idiot [08:34] I'm an idiot with elevated priveledges :) [08:35] :P [08:35] *priviledges [08:35] Describes most sysadmins [08:35] haha [08:35] not hard to qualify as sysadmin at home [08:36] CEO even [08:36] I think there's a .desktop cache or something isn't there? [08:36] do I have to ln -s the desktop file [08:36] Try restarting X [08:36] lul [08:36] it's worth a shot [08:36] What is the best way to theme Ubuntu? i'd like to change the windows to osmething else. [08:36] I've put the *desktop file in usr/share/applications [08:37] bwood I think settings> display> appearance [08:38] via the little gear wheel at top right [08:39] looking [08:39] Can you even rice ubuntu? [08:39] Fuck it's been years since I installed it [08:39] luka_33: stop the language [08:39] luka_33: this is a polite channel [08:40] MeaCulpa Nah nothing like that showing here [08:40] My bad mate [08:40] let me look [08:40] MeaCulpa: When I change .desktop entries in /usr/share/applications, it normally has immediate effect. Did you move the file there or copy it in-place? [08:41] s/copy/edit [08:41] I moved it there, maybe I need to chmod it [08:41] Dunno where my brain is this morning! [08:41] Yeah, check the permissions and ownership and also "touch" it so that it gets a fresh timestamp. [08:41] my brain if fried atm [08:42] will give it a go thanks Gargoyle [08:42] is there a .desktop file overriding it in ~/.local/share/applications? [08:42] is it chmod 755 [08:43] Not as far as I know [08:43] there's one there with a .bak extension [08:43] Don't think they need execute. 0644 would be fine. All mine are owned by root:root [08:43] maybe I'll delete them and start again [08:47] how long would it take to set up a Wi-Fi <--> LAN tunnel, and would the connected device still have internet access if the Wi-Fi had a VPN on? [08:47] what's a wifi_>lan tunnel ? [08:47] without manual reconfiguration [08:47] Sterist: perhaps more a question for ##networking? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [08:48] that is a possibility, but, it is done on Ubuntu, so either way :) [08:48] not really [08:48] it's networking and routing [08:48] although I don't know what you mean to wifi -> lan tunnel [08:49] I don't know what it is, but, it is X Y Z lol okay man [08:49] what ? [08:49] you've just asked how long it takes to set it up, but you don't know what it is ? [08:49] then you quote X Y Z ? [08:57] Hey guys, having a bit of a hard time with the drivers for a wireless network adapter (BCM4352 14e4:43b1 rev 03) which seems to no longer be supported by bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271 Nothing from what I tried really works - any ideas? [09:07] beginning to think the guys that wrote sublime text are really keen on me registering it before my icon works ;) === lesshaste is now known as Guest16590 === flavia is now known as Guest2449 [09:08] more haste less speed my grandma used to say :) [09:09] MeaCulpa, :) === Guest16590 is now known as leshaste [09:10] MeaCulpa, were you a drug addict? [09:10] I mean, is that why she used to say that? [09:10] what do you mean 'were' :P [09:10] !ot | MeaCulpa leshaste [09:10] MeaCulpa leshaste: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.
