[00:12] would be great if someone could walk me through on how to install php 7.1 or 7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 [00:15] vacho: the official answer is to use 7.0, as it's the supported version for 16.04. Otherwise you'd either need to compile or use a PPA [00:15] tgm4883: im ok with using PPA [00:16] vacho: I'm not going to endorse any PPA since I haven't used it, but a quick search points to https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php [00:17] tgm4883: just installed that [00:17] vacho: then what's the question?

However, sometimes with a reboot, the OS detects the device on /dev/ttyUSB1, making the config invalid. What can I do to ensure the GSM will always detect as /dev/ttyUSBx ? Thanks [05:51] hello guys [05:53] MD5sum change after copy the file ? any help [05:54] copy it again? [05:54] wedgie: same issue when i disconnect and plug it into window MD5sum change === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs === vemacs is now known as Guest30350 [05:56] disconnect what? Maybe you should start at the beginning. How are you copying the file and what are you copying it to? [05:57] copy from linux mint 18.3 to pen drive USB 2.0 16gb file size is 5gb its NTFS but after disconnect and then connect it top wndows laptop MD5sum change [05:58] "16gb file size is 5gb" What does that mean? [05:58] 1 iso file 5gb size [05:58] pen 16gb [05:58] USB 2.0 16 GB i think [05:58] ah. So you md5sum the source file, copy it to the usbdrive, then md5sum the file on the usb drive and they don't match? [05:58] yes [05:59] only when connect to windows laptop its not match [05:59] bad usb drive maybe? [05:59] oh. So the md5sum is correct on the usb drive when checked from linux? [05:59] when i type 'cd /media/abdull/SD' then 'MD5sum file' same MD5sum for source [06:00] wedgie: yes [06:00] wedgie, your gnu/linux may have some of it still in buffers (cached) and thus is not reading the full file as written to usb-thumb-drive.. [06:00] did you compare the file size? [06:00] sorry - that was for abdull ; sorry wedgie [06:00] guivers: same file size === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [06:02] pen is not full '16 GB — 12 GB free (22.3% full)' [06:02] abdull: only thing i can think of is bad usb drive, or you're pulling it too soon without unmounting or syncing [06:04] wedgie: i use save remove [06:04] right now i have the file in pen same MD5sum in source HDD [06:05] is there i commend line for save disconnect? for pen drive [06:06] i will use Eject from gui [06:09] abdull, i agree with wedgie (likely bad/faulty usb thumb-drive) - the other possible is malware/virus on windoze; but mint & windows are not Ubuntu and off-topic here [06:10] !mint [06:10] The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes.

[06:39] Yes [06:39] basically i need to know if there is anyway i can get into port 21 [06:46] hi :D [06:47] so if you enter a passphrase when generating ssh keys you'd have to provide that passphrase every time you start a session, is that correct? === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs === vemacs is now known as Guest97847 [07:05] hi all [07:07] can anyone tell me the fastest way to copy (backup) a hdd i have-its size is about 1tb-hoping to find out that if i boot from a live usb without drives mounted it may be faster-Or that doing it from terminal will be faster [07:09] copy and past seemed to take for ever in past and am dealing with about 500GB spinning discs 7200 i think [07:14] ? [07:16] mooncakehexchat: rsync is probably your best bet [07:16] mooncakehexchat: if you're copying os files then you'll want to use a live usb [07:16] or straight up dd, if you want to copy the entire DISK [07:16] mooncakehexchat: even imaging the partition will likely take a couple hours, spinning rust can only read/write so fast.. [07:21] thank you-i have a slight problem file permissions i think can anyone help me make my drive able to read write and execute by me at least [07:22] from what i remember it is chmod but the digits i am unsure of [07:22] 777 or 755 comes to mind ? [07:22] mooncakehexchat: sudo chmod -R 777 /mountpoint makes all files read write executable by everyone [07:23] will that apply for an empty drive ex4 gpt [07:23] (also) [07:24] well the numbers anyway [07:24] mooncakehexchat: just change ownership instead [07:24] sudo chown "$USER:" /mountpoint === Aztec03 is now known as SmokinGrunts [07:25] so copy the above verbatim or add my unsername after the dollar(sorry to be so noob) [07:25] smokingrunts wsup [07:26] what's good, mooncakehexchat [07:26] ? [07:26] :) [07:26] mooncakehexchat: $USER will expand to your username, so either way works [07:26] :) [07:26] thank you very much [07:27] who you thankin'? nobody deserves thanks yet here so far..

[07:46] i think so i open 'disk' and copied and paste the mount point from there i will show you what i wrote [07:47] sudo chown "$USER:" /media/noj/1GBbackup [07:49] https://imgur.com/a/NkD5H [07:49] somehow I seem to have cerated a file with an empty name. find and ls both seem to show it - how can I get rid of it?

[07:56] https://imgur.com/a/smRmB [07:57] EriC^^: it does not appear to show in that mode, to the extent that I can tell - there are a boatload of other files, so I grepped the stat to File:, then looked for any line thatid not contain ' then a word characted - found none [07:58] but, ls |sort generates a blank line at the start of the output [07:59] let me know if you think i should reformat with gparted-this drive will be used to store files under linux [07:59] or other [07:59] *gparted or other [07:59] jpmh: blank line? [07:59] this is getting odd [08:00] oh nevermind [08:00] thought you meant ls -l === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:00] EriC^^: what I mean is that I see a blank as the first line and if I re-direct to a file, then the first line of the file is just the line freed, sort of empty [08:01] morning all [08:02] mooncakehexchat: permissions look right, so not sure why nautilus is unable to determine it [08:02] reboot ? [08:03] im going to boot from live ubuntu and see if prob persists-reason for want to backup was cus i have wrecked my os and wanted to migrate files to backup drive prior to proceeding [08:03] I don't see what a reboot would change [08:04] jpmh: i have an idea, maybe try stat !NOT [[:lower:]]* , trying to figure out the syntax of it [08:04] i deleted files i shouldnt have and os has been action odd esp in terminal re tab autocomplete [08:05] EriC^^: I did do a stat `ls |sort -r` thinking that would get it - but no - does not show there - whereas the ls |sort -r does show a blank line at the end [08:05] but the file i deleted where in the home dir so i thought it was safe to delete them === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs [08:05] jpmh: does it show in ls -l | sort ?

[08:06] typo action =acting [08:06] it should show file metadata like owner perms size etc [08:06] speak soon [08:07] with -l the sort won't really be useful [08:07] jpmh: is there a way to get the size from ls -l? [08:08] EriC^^: there are enough files in the directory I have no idea how to do an ls -l on that file [08:09] jpmh: ok, this should help, try stat [![:lower:]]* === sauvin_ is now known as bocaneri === mi2b is now known as gumay [08:11] EriC^^: what will that do - I did try it and see nothing new [08:11] jpmh: it should list all files that dont start with a lowercase letter [08:12] jpmh: this is better try stat [![:alpha:]]* [08:12] EriC^^: is that a globe or regex? [08:12] *glob [08:12] it's a bash class stuff [08:12] in ubuntu 18.04 libreoffice 6 is included? [08:12] didn't know it can be this complex [08:13] that glob is the standard kind that will also work in sh [08:13] EriC^^: yep - that showed me all of the files start start with numbers but ot the "special" one [08:14] My guess is there's a filename containing a newline somwhere, which this should make visible: (shopt -s nullglob; printf '%q\n' *$'\n'*) [08:14] !ubuntu+1 | MoL0ToV [08:14] MoL0ToV: Bionic Beaver is the codename for Ubuntu 18.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [08:14] jpmh: if you try with [![:digit:]]* ? [08:14] try geirha 's suggestion [08:16] EriC^^: and geirha - geirha's idea genearted: $'temp.fil\n' - what does that mean? [08:16] there's your culprit.

[08:57] EriC^^: in ubuntu 17 it is, yes [08:58] !hwe | zamba [08:58] zamba: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [08:58] EriC^^: can this be included when booting and installing? [08:59] "These enablement stacks can be installed manually but are also available when installing with Ubuntu LTS point release media." [08:59] zamba: 16.04.4 has it i believe [09:00] zamba: http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.4/ [09:00] EriC^^: ubuntu desktop has it, but what about server? [09:00] "Server installations will default to the GA kernel and provide the enablement kernel as optional. " [09:01] how do we then enable this kernel when installing? [09:01] zamba: yup seems to be included in the .list file [09:02] EriC^^: so how do we enable it when booting and installing? [09:02] zamba: i think it installs it by default [09:02] hi [09:03] zamba: if not it seems available in the iso as a .deb package [09:03] zamba: pool/main/l/linux-hwe/linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic_4.13.0-36.40~16.04.1_amd64.deb [09:05] EriC^^: no, it doesn't [09:06] EriC^^: but we have a catch-22 here.. we want to install on the same disks that require this driver [09:07] zamba : download the kernel & associated header files from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.12/ And install the same [09:07] ShriHari: what? :) [09:07] ShriHari: this is when installing ubuntu from a bootable iso [09:08] zamba : This is after you have installled basic os [09:08] zamba: i've never installed the server edition, tty isn't available at all? [09:09] ShriHari: but you don't understand.. we need to install the basic os ON the disks that are not available until we have the correct drivers in the kernel to access the disks [09:10] ok Zamba : I got the sequence wrong. [09:10] zamba: at boot-time the installer provides the option to load drivers (kernel .ko modules) from separate media, but it sounds as if you're indicating that 4.13 has the module but 4.4 does not [09:11] TJ-: yes [09:11] ubuntu 17 has the correct driver [09:11] zamba: what's the module, do you know? [09:12] zamba: we can check if there's a possibility to build for the ISO's 4.4 GA kernel so you could slip it in as the installer boots [09:12] TJ-: one sec [09:12] hey [09:12] zamba: aloternatively you could just create another ISO by cloning the current one and dropping in the vmlinuz from 4.13 plus it's modules (/lib/modules/4.13... [09:13] TJ-: too advanced for me, i'm afraid :) [09:15] I have a problem with Ubuntu NTFS support. Whenever I save the file to NTFS partition (like, i just saved an PDF from internet) it is set as Executable file! Maybe that is the problem with Ntfs-3G itself ? [09:15] Firefox warns my PDF is therefore executable [09:15] zamba: an alternative is to use the netboot installer; we have those with the HWE kernels. See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/xenial/ [09:16] https://pastebin.com/tE1QP4nr [09:16] sima: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126406 [09:16] zamba: is that lscpi from 4.13 ?

[09:24] zamba: git-blame shows us when and with which commit that was added: "45f4f2eb3 (Sasikumar Chandrasekaran 2017-01-10 18:20:43 -0500 61) #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_LSI_HARPOON 0x0016" [09:25] hi [09:25] zamba: the patch itself doesn't add much functionality but it's enough to doubt it'd backport to 4.4... but I'll try that just-in-case [09:26] TJ-: what do you mean? [09:26] TJ-: you don't think it'll work backporting it? [09:27] zamba: If I can apply the patch to the 4.4 megaraid_sas code anf build it you would be able to load it before the installer boots (the built kernel module has to match the booting kernel exactly) [09:28] TJ-: ok, cool :) [09:28] zamba: but there have been so many changes to that source-code between 4.4 and 4.13 that this patch may depend on previous patches... it can become a rabbit-hole === ksa_ is now known as ksa [09:30] Hey everyone. My network card eth0 has this rediculous name enxb827eb75c ... why and HOW do i get it to be eth0 ? [09:31] zamba: I need to know the exact version of the kernel on the ISO - did you recently download the ISO and if so what link did you use (then I can check the ISO's file manifest) [09:31] cart_man: it's called predictable interface naming or something, it's systemd [09:32] cart_man: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/335461/predictable-network-interface-names-break-vm-migration [09:32] TJ-: maybe easier to just try booting with the netboot image? [09:32] EriC^^ Why would they do that though? also why not use the first 4 letters...that thing is HUGE [09:33] cart_man: i guess so you can predict what the name would be regardless, sort of like a uuid [09:33] it is a mouthful though yeah :D [09:34] cart_man: in the link there's a part on how to disable it if you want [09:36] hello [09:36] zamba: It's up to you - good news is the patch applied :) [09:37] TJ-: can you provide me with the iso? :) [09:37] zamba: it's in the link I gave you earlier to hwe-netboot > amd64 > mini.iso [09:38] EriC^^ Ok so I followed the one rule... noe the UI looks Horrible and the ETH0 still has that shitty name >.< [09:38] cart_man: the hex numbers after the interface prefix enx is the MAC address of the interface [09:39] I used this -> ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link [09:40] TJ-: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hwe-netboot/mini.iso ? [09:40] TJ-: do i need to do something with this? [09:40] cart_man: the interface prefix is "en" means EtherNet, usually that is followed by Port.Slot (e.g. enp1s0) but it seems like the device you have isn't on PCI - is it on SDIO or USB [09:40] TJ-: or just burn and boot? [09:40] zamba: that's the one :) burn and boot... it'll need Internet access because it has to fetch all the packages from the Ubuntu archive servers [09:41] is there some sort of rollback I can do ? [09:42] cart_man: it can be disabled by a kernel command-line option that systemd/udevd look for [09:43] TJ-: yup.. or just access to a local proxy [09:44] zamba: yes, same thing :) [09:44] TJ-: thank you for your help :) [09:45] cart_man: you can pass "net.ifnames=0" -- see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [09:48] TJ- Where is this Kernel command line ? [09:48] ANd do I do it once only? [09:49] cart_man: it's in /etc/default/grub next to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [09:49] cart_man: after adding it you need to run sudo update-grub to save the changes [09:49] i cant find #adobe in gnome-xchat. [09:49] cart_man: edit /etc/default/grub, the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" should have 'net.ifnames-0' inside the double-quotes. Then "sudo update-grub" and that'll work for all subsequent boots [09:50] cart_man: typo! ... should have 'net.ifnames=0' insude ... [09:53] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="'net.ifname=0'" ?

[10:01] no [10:01] hello! i just upgraded from 16.10 (desktop) to 17.10, and i miss how unity worked in the earlier version:) i dont like these "on the fly workspaces", and it seems that there are no keyboard shortcuts for e.g. maximizing a window to 1/2 of the screen, or 1/4th of the screen. does anyone know if i can get that behaviour back? [10:01] rud0lf: xhost + [10:02] "access control disabled", but the error persists [10:02] what is the exact error [10:02] it may be issue of xUbuntu beta 18.04 sooo [10:03] if you're using 18.04 use the #ubuntu+1 channel for discussion please, but I doubt its release related [10:04] ikonia: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r5GF4pK46z/ [10:04] i cant find #adobe in gnome-xchat. [10:04] rud0lf: lets move this to #ubuntu+1 please [10:04] ok [10:05] can someone tell me if it is possible that my irc client does not list all the channels? [10:06] codebot_, i can't see #adobe in freenode, but i'm no expert in irc [10:08] guiverc : nobody thinks you are irc expert. No confusion there [10:10] and i have 2 monitors attached to my computer. it looks like all windows that exist on my right monitor are "sticky", they follow me as a switch between workspaces. not yet sure if i like this:) [10:10] is it like that for everyone?

I'm having some issues with several 16.04 ubuntu-server machines running openvpn client. [10:15] everything works well but when I reload or restart the server openvpn instance, the clients lose connection and never reconnect. A manual openvpn restart is required in the clients to get connected again [10:16] I was using this config several years ago with ubuntu 14.04 with no problems, but with 16.04 the behaviour differs a little [10:16] ommarmol, I believe there is a config setting (client side) to control this, I can't remember what is is but will check my configs as I think I use it [10:18] JimBuntu, thanks ;) [10:18] ommarmol, 'resolv-retry infinite' may help. I don't see anything else in my configs that stands out, however, I know they re-connect when the connection is lost [10:19] I am also connecting to 16.04 machines via OpenVPN [10:21] ommarmol, To be clear, I start the connections manually in a shell and then leave them backgrounded, unsure if you are using something GUI to connect [10:21] in my case, if I do a reload (or restart) of the server openvpn instance, all clients get disconnected [10:22] I'm fairly certain I have done this, and the clients regain their connection, if it's ever even lost... I'll double-check right now though [10:23] 332 [10:24] yiu [10:24] nihv \ [10:25] hello [10:25] ommarmol, confirmed. I did lose the ability to traverse the remote network for a moment, but the client re-established a functional connection. [10:26] hey guys, anyone knows what's wrong with my command here (trying to copy image files, and rename them as its meadata) - find . -type f -name "*.JPG" -exec bash -c 'NAME=$(exiftool -d "%Y%m%d_%H%M_%e" -DateTimeOriginal -S -s "$1")' _ {} \; -exec echo $(NAME) \; [10:26] Hiyas all [10:26] I DOT KNOW [10:26] aw cmon.. help me [10:26] hiya BluesKaj [10:26] find . -type f -name "*.JPG" -exec bash -c 'NAME=$(exiftool -d "%Y%m%d_%H%M_%e" -DateTimeOriginal -S -s "$1")' _ {} \; -exec echo $(NAME) \; [10:27] IM SORRY, Im new bird [10:27] Hey JimBuntu [10:27] JimBuntu, in my case my clients don't reconnect anymore === enko-work is now known as enko-w [10:28] ommarmol, I am using OpenVPN 2.3.10 on the client side, and (yikes) 2.3.2 on the server side. [10:29] OpenVPN 2.3.10 on the client [10:29] OpenVPN 2.4.3 amd64-portbld-freebsd11.0 on the server side [10:29] I have 'keepalive 10 120' in the server config, but don't see anything else relevant [10:31] in my client.conf I have resolv-retry infinite [10:34] pi_, this is the Ubuntu support channel; if you have a [Ubuntu] question please just ask it (in a single line please). If someone knows the answer, they'll reply to you (please be patient) [10:42] hi there how do i find my user files (HDD location) am booting from usb and want to see the userfiles from an install on my disc not the usb [10:43] can see bin boot cdrom dev etc home... [10:43] never mind found it [10:51] hey need help can paste to hdd from live install what do i need to change permissions chmod? [10:51] cant paste into driv [10:52] ubjontu: the live session user is probably ubuntu? id will show it [10:52] "id" command [10:52] do you want paste [10:52] ubjontu: so you can change the ownership of the target to ubuntu: sudo chown -R ubuntu /target/dir [10:53] cool thanks [10:53] ubjontu: remember that when you boot normally, you need to change the ownership back to your user [10:53] so take note of current details before i change it over [10:53] ubjontu: and don't do this for your home directory [10:56] The installer is the same across kubuntu, xubunut etc, right? [10:57] in my case the hdd is just a external that i want anyone to be able to read and write to [10:57] Which bugtracker would I report bugs of the installer to? === vemacs|ded is now known as vemacs === vemacs is now known as Guest43875 [10:59] !info ubiquity | dragnet [10:59] dragnet: ubiquity (source: ubiquity): Ubuntu live CD installer.
