raddyOhh okk06:55
OhPieI want to download dark shit on from the darkweb onto my ubuntu instance and I dont' want to be traced.  I'm behind a VPN.  Can I use ubuntu to ensure all my use of Unbuntu isn't seen?06:56
EriC^^raddy: replace sdX with your disk06:56
OhPieI want to do things the police don't want me to do.06:56
ducasseraddy: 18.04 support is in #ubuntu+106:57
OhPieI won't describe those things.06:57
guivercOhPie, it'll be as safe as using Tor can be...   (if you don't understand how tor works; it's off-topic here as not Ubuntu related)06:57
raddyOhhhh06:57
raddyfdisk -l itself not listing the ntfs ssd volumes06:58
OhPiek.  thank you.  Could you recommend the most current and available safest tor client for ubuntu?06:58
raddyIs that because the ntfs drive is broken ?06:58
guivercOhPie, i use Tor happily from by Ubuntu here, but I realize the flaws in it and they are no concern for what I do06:58
guiverc(flaws in Tor - not Ubuntu)06:58
raddyI have configureded ubuntu in pen drive cause i could not boot windows 706:58

raddyPlease reply07:01
OhPieMy approach is this.  i want to spread tor use.  For typicall use.  Not for bad reasons.07:01

snufftHi everyone! I'm trying to resurrect a ubuntu 16.04 install and am having a little trouble. When I run sudo apt-get update, it tells me that a key is invalid, but i can't find it in apt-key list and don't really know how ot get rid of it10:00
snufftalso, when i run sudo spkg --configure -a it tells me that it's configuring mariadb and just sits on that line. i can control + x to stop it, but that's it10:00
snufftdoes anyone have a solution for eihter of those?10:01
Guest88030snufft: maybe you can check keyserver.ubuntu.com for the right key?10:04
JimBuntusnufft, we would probably need to see the output from running the commands... but overall... find the key and remove it... apt-get purge mariadb10:05
cariverihi.10:07
cariveriWhats the best way to mirror the package installation on a second ubuntu ?10:07
JimBuntuYou should be able to get a list of installed packages from your package manager(s). Then you can apt-get download from the primary, scp to the secondary and install... if that's what you meant.10:08
cariveriJimBuntu: can I get just a list that can be piped into apt-get install on the secondary machine?10:09
JimBuntucariveri, should be able to. Are you using apt?10:10
cariveriyes10:10
JimBuntuI think the biggest hassle would be if you have additional PPAs.10:10
cariveriI avoid using PPAs , so should not be a lot.10:10
JimBuntucariveri, `apt list --installed` to get your list... probably want to `cut` that list at the "/" and pipe into `apt-get install -y`10:13
cariveriJimBuntu: hm. yea. apt doesnt get me a list of package names right away :(10:14

SiamasterHi, I have a 3 hard drives, where I have Ubuntu on one, Win 10 on another and the third is just my personal files10:56
Siamasterthis is the 3rd time this happens to me on Ubuntu that suddenly, I can not read anything from that hard drive with my personal files10:56
SiamasterIt can work some minutes after I've started then suddenly it stops working, I can navigate and see some files, but can't open any of them10:57
Siamasterit happened twice some days ago and now it happened today again10:57
Siamasterit has not happened on Win10 yet but I have not been using Win10 alot10:58
Siamasteris my harddrive dying?10:58
Siamastershould I try to remount that drive?10:58
Siamasterdo you have any ideas?10:58
Siamasterif I restart, it will probably work again10:59
guivercSiamaster, to look at HDD health, use `smartctl` (found in smartmontools) or if using gui, `gnome-disks`11:01
EriC^^Siamaster: install smartmontools and run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX on the disk11:01
EriC^^upload the results somewhere, also when it happens if you type "dmesg" does it say anything about the disk?11:02
Siamasterok, I'll do that now ty11:02

Siamasterhow do I exit that window?11:04
snufftand I dind't have to purge mariadb, thank god, haha11:04
guivercSiamaster, i'd suggest just picking 'no config'11:04
Siamasterthere is a <Ok> button (?)11:04
Siamasterok, should I just close the terminal?11:04
SiamasterI can't get by that window, and when clicking the close button, it warns me about ongoing process11:05
guivercSiamaster, I installed smartmontools before to check 'smartmontools' - I got the message you got & just hit no config (or something like that), but i loaded from conig - I'd not close, but no-config & enter11:05
SiamasterThere is no no-config alternative11:06
SiamasterI'll just close it and try again11:06
SiamasterI came to the same window11:06
Siamasterit's not reacting to any keyboard input11:07
guivercSiamaster, how did you load smartmon* - from term command (sudo apt..) or how?11:08

dar123i have got a linux machine behind nat, i want to be able to ssh it (without configuring static nat)  from a cloud server13:50
leftyfbdar123: you'll need to poke a hole in your firewall/router13:51
OnkelTemleftyfb: don't underestimate yourself sir13:51
leftyfbdar123: or, create an autossh config for your linux machine to ssh to the cloud server and create a reverse tunnel13:51

dar123thanks13:52
ZajtBest way to setup VM on Ubuntu 16.04 is to install like VMware fusion right?13:53
leftyfbZajt: if you're only going to use a linux server in the VM, maybe look into lxd containers. It's way easier and simpler to use13:54
leftyfbZajt: other than that, maybe Virtualbox13:54
Zajtleftyfb: I will put a linux distro on the VM(I want to create like 10 users so 10 people can ssh into it)13:55
leftyfbZajt: I would do lxd then13:55
leftyfbZajt: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxd.html13:56
Zajtokay that will work for what I want? Because I want to fix so each user have access to the same files in the home folder, but then they should not see other files or write stuff in other than those folders13:57
dar123another thing i want to monitor the host behind NAT as well, whenever it goes offline i will send a notification to myself. What should i run on the host to keep sending keep alives to my cloud server13:58
dar123i can run a cron job, but what is the recommended/best practice13:58
leftyfbZajt: that is not a function of the VM but instead how you give access to each account.13:59
Zajtalright yeah leftyfb why is lxd better here? So I know the benefits13:59
ZajtI have used VMware fusion on my computer and it worked perfectly with VM's13:59
leftyfbdar123: have the cloud host check for the reverse tunnel. If it goes down, have the cloud host notify you. Won't do you any good for the host behind nat to try to notify you if it's offline13:59
leftyfbZajt: it's a lot simpler and quicker to get setup. Try it out14:00
dar123let me try that out, thanks again14:00
capHey guys. I want to design an application launcher, could you me point to that direction.14:09
Zajtleftyfb: after I have followed the instructions on that page, is it easy to setup 10 users so that they can ssh into it?14:10
capcould you point me*14:10
leftyfbZajt: again, that has nothing to do with VM's. You setup those users the same way you would on any linux environment14:11
Zajtalright14:12

atlas1nacc: thanks a bunch :)14:58
naccatlas1: yes, that's supposed to be rectified by the above website14:58

neildugannacc, atlas1 , that worked fine thanks, do you know why the change?15:03
naccneildugan: because /e/n/i doesn't work well / simply for complicated networking15:05
naccatlas1: a text editor (vi, emacs, etc.)15:05
naccatlas1: i believe /etc/netplan/15:05

atlas1nacc: aah ok.. worth a shot i guess lol15:07
atlas1nacc: now im sorry for asking again but what do you mean by /e/n.i doesnt work well15:07
naccatlas1: /etc/network/interfaces -- very complicated configs lead to very complicated files15:07
atlas1nacc: aah gotcha15:07
naccatlas1: cf. cloud hosts, cloud networking, etc.15:07
atlas1nacc: that makes sense15:08
atlas1nacc: you may be able to answer this.. another user answered my previous question about calling a program from inside a program has to be a feature offered by that current program. Now is that so or can i call a script from inside weechat15:09
naccatlas1: i have no idea, you'd need to ask weechat/read their docs15:10
naccatlas1: it is specific to the app what an app allows you to do, of course15:10

DevilTigerwhy wouldn't you want your mail signed?15:36
DevilTigeri don't follow that logic; once its setup its setup15:37
leftyfbDevilTiger: just FYI, systemctl is to manage systemd services. This is the new way but isn't available in Ubuntu 14.04. chkconfig is a redhat thing and won't help you on Ubuntu at all. You're still running upstart in 14.04 and need to use either "service" to start/stop/status or update-rc.d to set run modes (enable) services.15:37
naccDevilTiger: because running a service means maintaining a service means knowing how to do these basic tasks already15:37
naccDevilTiger: and there are ways to sign emails without opendkim, of course15:38

wiqslidinghorn, sorry, what do you mean by that?15:50
JimBuntuwiq, have you tried setting it in /etc/default/locale ?15:50
JimBuntuwiq, from terminal, is it currently showing up as an env variable?15:50
tgm4883DevilTiger: one of the reasons things like that aren't supported is it takes quite a bit of effort to support that consider we don't know what it did to said config files, and the number of people that use said software for configuration is low15:50
albttx@nacc exept if you recompile the kernel module ufs with write allowed15:50
naccalbttx: which would not be an ubuntu kernel.15:50

naccalbttx: right, so then you did a manual modification15:51
albttxby i recompile it15:51
naccalbttx: good luck with that15:51

albttxi already did15:51

wiqJimBuntu, no15:51
JimBuntuwiq, and currently in console, do you see that the DRI_PRIME value is set to "1" ?15:52
wiqJimBuntu, how can I check that in console?15:52
JimBuntuwiq, `env | grep -i dri_prime`15:53
wiqJimBuntu, yeah, it gives `DRI_PRIME=1`15:54
wiqJimBuntu, do i need to set it in /etc/default/locale too?15:54
wiqJimBuntu, rn, `glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"` shows that I am using AMD gpu15:55
JimBuntuwiq, Did you open a new terminal when you checked via env? I want to make sure it's being set at boot and recognized across the system. It wouldn't hurt to put it in both places, but shouldn't be needed.15:55
wiqJimBuntu, yeah, I opened a new terminal windows and checked. it is DRI_PRIME=115:56

sruli^ mirror lv partition to new pv16:10
wiqJimBuntu, normally it selects intel integrated gpu16:10
wiqJimBuntu, okay, is there a way to start the desktop environment automatically with env DRI_PRIME=1?16:11
JimBuntuwiq, put a script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ ?16:12
wiqJimBuntu, I don't know! I am new to linux and kubuntu16:13
wiqJimBuntu, isn't there a file which contains all the commands that run to start system apps on startup...so i can edit it16:14
JimBuntuwiq, well, that could be one way, here is some info from ARCH, you should be able to find additional info for Ubuntu specifically - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME16:14
JimBuntuwiq, there are various. The directory I suggested above is ran each time X starts... which is better than only each time the system as a whole starts16:15
wiqJimBuntu, will take a look at it. thanks16:15
wiqJimBuntu, any steps to do that? ;)16:16
JimBuntuI would say that you want to put your xrandr command within a script at that dir I mentioned... or add it to an existing one.16:17
=== r0Oter is now known as r00ter
wiqJimBuntu, sorry. but i didn't get it16:18
JimBuntuplace the xrandr command within /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, above the `. /etc/X11/Xsession` line, reboot, retest16:20
wiqokay. but which xrandr command are you talking about:?16:20
JimBuntuxrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 1 016:20
wiqwhat would that do?16:21
wiqi was thinking of removing DRI_PRIME=1 from /etc/environment and then starting desktop environment and all the apps i use with env DRI_PRIME=116:21
wiqbecause previously i have tested that firefox and other apps works fine withh env DRI_PRIME=1 when amd is not default16:22
wiqwhen i use amd as default, kwin crashes16:22
wiqso, this time i am thinking of starting everything(most of the things) with env DRI_PRIME=1 except kwin16:23
JimBuntuwiq, Ok. Give that a go then, sounds valid and sane.16:24
wiqJimBuntu, just to confirm I can add `env DRI_PRIME=1 plasmashell` in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc same as xrandr command16:25
wiq?16:25

JimBuntuwiq, no, you would replace your current DRI_PRIME env variable with the updated one. I think you said you put that in /etc/environment16:26
wiqJimBuntu, ahh, ok16:27
atlas1TJ-: Yeah something that adds more features to weechat16:28

=== LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus
JimBuntuwiq, a specific app? I'm not aware of how to do that other than some setting/view in the app.16:57
JimBuntuwiq, Did you mentino that you were using Slack?16:58
wiqJimBuntu, because I want to check that if my desktop environment (plasma) is using amd gpu or not16:58
wiqJimBuntu, yeah, I am already running firefox and slack with env DRI_PRIME=116:59
JimBuntuFirefox should surely have info available. I think you can find out in slack by changing advanced settings and enabling more of the logs.17:00

pepericais anyone here ... connected to softlayers vpn using array networks dialer while on wifi?17:04
noraatepernosI recently updated to osx high sierra and suddenly my ssh keys are being denied and I can’t figure out why nor where to turn.  I’m here because all my servers are ubuntu.17:04
noraatepernosI know this is not ubuntu’s fault.17:04
JimBuntuallNamesAreU5ed, you may also want to try /msg alis LIST <searchterm>17:04
rypervenchenoraatepernos: That's more of a Mac issue, but the permissions on your keys may be off if the server requires strict permissions settings. Also use a few verbose flags for more information when you try to SSH in.17:05
TJ-atlas1: inside weechat do "/help script" or "/help plugin" and to list each "/script list" or "/plugin list"17:06
noraatepernosrypervenche: I know.  I’m wondering if I should change ssh clients.  Permissions and verbose output were checked two hours ago when I started this. Is there a good ssh client that isn’t my mac’s ssh client?17:06
pepericaHas anyone here ... connected to softlayers vpn using array networks dialer while on wifi? on ubuntu?17:06
noraatepernosThe verbose output very abruptly terminates in permission denied (public key)17:07
rypervenchenoraatepernos: The Mac SSH client is fine to use. You shouldn't have any problems with it.17:07
Maakayhi17:08
rypervenchenoraatepernos: Sounds like either the key isn't getting used or the permissions are stopping it from being used. Or the public key doesn't exist on your servers. You'll need to check all three. I wasn't here 2 hours ago, so I don't have the output for that.17:08
noraatepernosrypervenche: Sorry I didn’t post it here I just meant when I started trying to figure it out myself (before I started bothering anyone else)17:09
noraatepernosrypervenche: Same exact key works on my mac running an older os.  So weird.17:10
noraatepernosmac’s ssh won’t let me output any version number that I can see.  Some sort of security measure is being forced but I didn’t get the notice.  It’s like Google hardcoding hsts entries in Chrome.  So tired of insane companies.17:11
CheckmateI have /dev/root with 100% full what to do17:13
Checkmatecan i mount filesystem /dev/root to /home ??17:14
CheckmateI have more size on /home17:15
pragmaticenigmaCheckmate, that doesn't make sense... /dev folder are typically pointers to devices not filesystems17:16
wiqJimBuntu, found a way to check that which process is using which gpu. and found that my desktop environment (plasma) is still using intel even after adding `DRI_PRIME=1 plasmashell &` to /etc/environment as told by you17:17
wiqJimBuntu, i don't think adding that to /etc/environment will start plasma with that command17:18
rypervencheCheckmate: Sounds like your root device is filled up an you want to fix that. There are several ways to fix this. Can you show us the output of "df -hT" please?17:18
JimBuntuI think PRIME allows for resources not needing much in the way of graphics/gpu to still use the in-cpu graphics.17:18
wiqNo. plasma starts using amd after i manually execute the same command by first stopping plasma17:19
Checkmaterypervenche https://pastebin.com/raw/mE7dx4qe17:21
rypervencheCheckmate: It is possible to completely stop using /dev/root and only use /dev/sda4 if you like. Do you still want to use the 20G drive? I'm guessing it's an SSD?17:23
JimBuntuwiq, have you asked in #plasma ?17:23
wiqno. JimBuntu17:23
JimBuntuwiq, not as many people in there, but might be the *right* people17:23

rypervencheCheckmate: You would need to move your data onto your /home and then mount it as /. The process is rather difficult to explain and there are a lot of steps involved.17:27
rypervencheCheckmate: And if one step is done wrong, then you'll be left with a machine that doesn't boot. And depending on your level of knowledge, no way to get help to fix it.17:28

=== Devil is now known as Guest56905
TJ-Checkmate: you should do it the other way around, bind-mount sub-dorectories of the /home/ file-system into growing directories of /  ... e.g. /var/cache/ and /var/lib so those use not space in the root file-system17:30

pragmaticenigmaCheckmate, before you change anything... have you even backed up your machine? changing partitions and such is not a good idea if you don't have a back up of your system17:43
CheckmateI dont have anything to backup :) still new17:44
rypervencheCheckmate: Oh! Then in that case, it would be much easier to reinstall.17:44
rypervencheAnd you'll get some disk space back that way too.17:45
bhanzi'm facing an intermittent issue with telnet connect, sometime it works and next moment it says connection refused17:45
pragmaticenigmaCheckmate, I concur with rypervenche ... with a brand new setup, it would be a lot easier to just start over, and you'll be happier with the end result17:46

pqangelHi :)18:19
zeno-chanyo18:19
pqangelnot sure if this is the place to ask18:20
pqangelI have a question about traps and process states. Can a process in user mode provoke a change in the state of a process directly? such as going from ready -> run or ready -> end18:20
pqangelAccording to what I've read the OS handles everything, but a trap is a direct call to the system18:20
pqangelSo in theory if I make a program that needs to wait for user input I would be putting the process in a "bloqued" state, right?18:21

=== grumblr is now known as grumble
debronThis is software related, and since ubuntu is my OS, (16.04) , I will need to make this question here18:55
debronis it there a way of force a resolution, to a screen that doesnt want it?18:55
debroni am almost sure that it could handle the resolution, because the TV accept it for video formats18:56
debronbut not for computers...18:56
pragmaticenigmadebron, it depends if that screen can support that resolution. What is the current resolution versus the desired resolution?18:56
debroncurrent 1024x76818:56
Irritiable|LTOld.18:56
debronin an hd ready screen18:56
debron...18:57
debronyeah, i will give the model18:57
Irritiable|LT1024 is like 1990s tech.18:57
debron19PFL5522D/1218:57
debronbut the TV is hd ready18:57
debronand im connected to it through HDMI18:57
geniidebron: Ideally, try to use a connector which can be used to read the EDID capability of the screen18:57
pragmaticenigmaIrritiable|LT, 1024x768 is a default resolution used when the actual resolution cannot be successfully identified. Preventing the screen from being ruined by an incompatible resolution.18:57
geniidebron: Is the HDMI connector using some other adapter in between?18:58
debronno18:58
slidinghorndebron: check out this wiki entry.  it should help : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution18:58
Irritiable|LTpragmaticenigma: "Monitor damage" is about as out-dated as the usage of 'screen savers.' Just sayin'.18:59
Irritiable|LTUnless your monitor is from 1995 (LOL): I wouldn't sweat it.19:00
debrongenii: is directly connected from the mobo to the TV19:00
debronwith an only HDMI wire, nothing else19:00
debronslidinghorn: thanks19:00
debronbut is there a possibility to screw the whole thing? if so, how could i restore default configuration without a spare screen? xd19:01
debronIrritiable|LT: you laugh, but its totally possible, I just bought today a i3 8100 processor. Do you know what i was using yesterday? Pentium 3000 mhz, from an dell optiplex gx620 xD 1995 computer19:03
debronwith debian :P19:03
geniidebron: I would attempt the method described in the first answere here. https://askubuntu.com/questions/377937/how-to-set-a-custom-resolution  ... if it unable, you can ctrl-alt-F1 to a text console and undo changes to ~/.xprofile19:04

Irritiable|LTPentium 4. *19:08
debronyeah, part of this dell optiplex19:08
Irritiable|LTA 3GHz 32-bit CPU is perfect and more preferred for compiling programs to something like the Intel I3 CPU.19:08
Irritiable|LTIt'll far out perform it.19:08
debron? you mean this old p4 would beat the new i3 compiling?19:09
debronsorry my english is not very good19:09

debronok sorry, please Irritiable|LT if you dont mind to go there19:09
Irritiable|LTdebron: Si.19:09

buggedvnchi, i recently installed vnc in my kubuntu, seems like kde has crashed at home, and when i connect to vnc i get a gray desktop with nothing in or on it, can i remotely reboot the computer thru vnc? I thought i had ssh installed, but port scan doesnt show any open ports for ssh or anything familiar19:11
geniibuggedvnc: Unfortunately not, without some kind of command-line access to the system from afar19:12
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, for starters, you shouldn't be running VNC exposed to the open internet. It's not secure and sends your password in the clear19:12
buggedvncpragmaticenigma: i connect to vpn server in my router, so not open internet19:13
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, okay19:13
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, can you send the command Alt + F2 ?19:13
linuxmintq19:13
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, or are you able to use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T19:13
buggedvncalt+f2 does not seem to have anything happen19:14
geniibuggedvnc: If you have ssh daemon actually on the box but not exposed to the internet, you might be able to leapfrog in through some other LAN machine19:14
genii..but otherwise, you're going to need actual physical access to it19:15
buggedvncgenii: i remember changing ssh server port back to 22, and restarted it this weekend that was, according to port scan i have port 1716, something to do with kde open19:15
buggedvncport 6001-6003 open, lists like something x1119:16
geniibuggedvnc: Is there another box on it's LAN you can get into?19:16
buggedvncgenii: another server, but it probably will access lan, lemme try19:16
geniibuggedvnc: If so, you can try port 22 on the Kubuntu box from that one19:17
geniiwork, afk a while19:18
buggedvncnah, ssh doesnt respond on ports 22, 11222, 11122 that i tend to use :/19:20
gogetabuggedvnc, umm set a diffrent port19:21
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, Did you purposefully disable VNC?19:22
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, Did you purposefully disable SSH? (sorry, brain glitched)19:22
buggedvncpragmaticenigma:  no only installed it and set a password19:22
buggedvncand no ssh should be on in my mind19:22
gogetabuggedvnc, is ufw blocking the port19:23
buggedvncno19:23
pragmaticenigmagogeta, please read up to get caught up on the topic19:23
buggedvncnomachine runs on the computer, but it also only presents the gray desktop with nothingness on, but no options to reboot from nomachine :/19:24
gogetabuggedvnc, ohhhh that19:24
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, I think you're at a point where you will have to find someone to reboot the machine for you or wait till you get home19:25
buggedvncso i have to wait whole 24 hours? :( :D19:25
gogetabuggedvnc, thats becouce your vnc is a sepret instance and it does not know what ui to load so you get a grey screen19:25
buggedvncmeh, i first thought the ups has gone bonkers like last week, but i sat here in the hotell "just checking" so i logged on vpn and pinged and it was live19:25
buggedvnci guess the vnc doesnt know how to get a command to reboot computer?19:26
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, VNC is not a system tool. It is a program that hooks into the display driver to repeat the information being sent to the screen19:26
buggedvnci wish my computer at home had an ilo interface, could have opened a software like i was sitting there (like kvm over ip)19:27
Sven_vBwhat do I need to bind-mount into my chroot to hear audio from inside?19:27
gogetabuggedvnc, buggedvnc you should use x11vnc as it uses the same instance as your main desktop19:27
gogetabuggedvnc, no grey screen19:27
Dovidhi. is it possible to have an interface set up as static and then have a sub interface setup with dhcp?19:27
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, what would be better is if your machine at home had SSH running. My recommendation for the future is to leave SSH on port 22 and configure it to also run on another port that you forward through your router (i.e. 10222)19:28
buggedvncgogeta: wish i knew that last weekend, i only followed a guide to install i think its tight vnc server19:28
pragmaticenigmaYou can then forward the non-standard port through your router19:28
gogetabuggedvnc, tight will work but you need to configure a desktop for it to load19:28
buggedvncpragmaticenigma: i had ssh running, but maybe kde crashed and took the ssh server with it but shouldnt19:28
gogetabuggedvnc, tights is a diffrent instance19:29
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, unlikely  if that were the case the computer wouldn't be responding at al19:29
buggedvncye, the guide didnt tell that :D19:29
=== linuxmint is now known as figo21300
pragmaticenigmabuggedvnc, look into x11vnc which is launched within the desktop session19:29
buggedvnci usually access the computer via teamviewer, havent found a better software that works as good as it does.19:29
gogetabuggedvnc, run this x0vncserver -display :019:29
buggedvncgogeta: wish i could run any commands from the hotell at this stage :D19:30
gogetabuggedvnc, that should attack tight to your main vnc19:30

pragmaticenigmavbo10, Hello, do you have a support question about Ubuntu?20:01
boblamontI have a program I need to start on boot. Specifically, it has 3 instances each using a different config file. It seems to work best to start it using a shell script for each instance (combining them in a single shell script launches it sequentially, so only one instance runs at a time).  I need all 3 instances running from boot. I've seen crontab @reboot, initd, systemd and more as possible options. Running Lubuntu 17.10.20:01
vbo10the xcfe or xubuntu installed, but the the screen resolution is not right20:02
TJ-boblamont: sounds like it needs a systemd template service20:02

DraconiatorSo it turns out 8GB of space is PERFECT for a netbook running Xubuntu. I have 2.5GB left over, so glad I tested it out with a VM before ordering that SSD.20:29
pragmaticenigmaibttis, a question like that is very subjective and is one that really only you can answer. What you consider to be secure, may not be the same as another persons. Only you can really decide what is adequate for your needs.

pragmaticenigmaibttis, It's an excelent way to test out ideas before commiting to the changes on their regular machine. Also, it's a great way to prevent some programs from making changes to your computer that you do not want.20:33
Draconiatorand plus, I can learn about Linux this way.20:35

zhodgeI set up an Ubuntu Server (16.04) and am having some issues connecting to it over ssh on a local network20:49
zhodgethe server is behind a firewall but isn't configured to block any internal connections from what I've been told20:50
zhodgeI've confirmed the openssh server is running with 'service ssh status'20:50
zhodgebut from another machine I'm returned port 22: Connection refused20:50
leftyfbzhodge: what does the auth.log say on the server while you're trying to connect?20:51
zhodgeaside from the loopback /etc/network/interfaces has an auto line with the network device name plus and iface configuring dhcp20:52
zhodgeleftyfb: ah yes the weird thing is that this ssh refusal seems to be 'intermittent'20:52
zhodgein that ocassionally I'm able to connect but the connection will drop after not too long20:53
Pinkamena_DI am using ubuntu unity - I can not seem to use settings in compiz anymore, I check enable a plugin or disable and it just reverts. I can run it as sudo and then they do not revert, but none of the settings are applied. No errors appear in the standard output20:53
zhodgeand in auth.log I get the success messages but nothing for when I get a refusal20:53
TJ-zhodge: that looks like the firewall is blocking. on the server itself check what it is listening to with "sudo ss -tnlp sport = 22"20:53
Xristos43?20:53

Xristos43poios exei prostyxo gynaikaki?20:54
leftyfbzhodge: then you're probably connecting to the wrong host/ip20:54
TJ-zhodge: if it is listening on all interfaces 0.0.0.0:22  an [:;]:22 then it'll be firewall20:54
zhodgeleftyfb: hm let me double check on that20:55
leftyfbzhodge: Next time you get a refused, quickly ping the host and see if it returns the right ip. If you're ssh'ing to an ip, shut the remote machine down and see if you can ping it still20:55
zhodgeTJ-: I was returned 2 LISTEN records one with *:22, *:* and another with :::22, :::* [Local Address:Port,Peer Address:Port]20:56
TJ-zhodge: you say sometimes it'll connect but drop? that is VERY suggestive of having 2 PCs with the same IP address on the network20:56
leftyfb^20:56
zhodgeTJ-: yeah that's the behavior I've been able to observe20:57
zhodgeleftyfb: I'm going to try your ping suggestion!20:57
TJ-zhodge: you can check the MAC addresses. On the target PC do "ip link show" and ID the MAC address of the LAN side interface. On the remote PC that is trying to ssh do "ip neigh show" and see if the IP address matches the MAC address. Also try "sudo ip neigh flush" before a connection20:58
tomreyn"ip neigh" may show multiple systems with the ip address but different MACs20:58
tomreynmaybe you cloned this VM and forgot to replace / reinitialize its virtual interface?20:59
zhodgeTJ-: I'm in the process of trying to match the MAC addresses. my remote machine is a mac so hopefully the 'iproute2mac' substitute package will work in place of 'ip'21:01
zhodgetomreyn: the Ubuntu server was previously a Windows server21:02
leftyfbit's easier to just yank the ethernet cable while pinging :)21:02
zhodgeleftyfb: haha it's nice to learn some new commands though!21:03
g4rrettplease help, trying to get my Ubuntu VM to work, had it working before, on new wifi spot, having trouble.  current config: https://dpaste.de/W7zj21:04
zhodgeresults are in: MAC addresses don't match21:04
g4rrettwhat am i missing... according to previous config this should work21:04
leftyfbg4rrett: did you set the VM's host interface to be bridged so it would be on the same network as the host? Otherwise, I don't know of any VM's that don't default to NAT21:05
g4rrettyes its default bridged21:06
g4rretti just pinged my guest ubuntu OS, it sent and received fine...hmm21:08
zhodgealso confirmed that I receive a response from pinging the IP even while the server is shutdown21:08

debronHello, i think i got disconnected and message wasnt sended, ill resend21:47
debronHello, I have a fresh ubuntu installation on a new PC. I have been reading around, and seems that my integrated graphics card its not going well on this ubuntu kernel, and there suggest me to upgrade the kernel to 4.1521:47
debronshould I ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/973212/the-screen-rendering-of-17-10-with-intel-i5-8400-is-really-slow21:47
debronmy actual kernel is 4.13.0-38-generic on a fresh installation21:47
oerheksIntel UHD Graphics 630 "Coffee Lake" ...21:48
debronyeah exactly the same21:48
debronwhy oerheks ?21:48
oerheksdebron, i remember this fix, "quiet splash i915.alpha_support=1"  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2377324&p=13739391#post1373939121:49
oerheksnot sure the support appears in 4.15 or 4.16 ..21:50
tomreyn.15 IIRC, phoronix had an article on it21:53
tomreynhttps://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.15-CFL-No-Alpha21:54
oerheksah oke, so it will be fixed in 18.0421:54
debronoerheks: im reading about it, thanks for the fix21:54
debronill decide if upgrade kernel or use that fix21:54
debronmaybe my hw works better on that kernel21:55

aphirstHi there! Quick question - I'm testing out lubuntu 17.10 on a spare computer and am surprised that, despite installing gvfs-common and nfs-common (i think those wre the names), I'm unable to access NFS mounts from my LAN via pcmanfm.22:29
aphirstI am however able to view those same mounts with `showmount`, and mount via fstab; AND pcmanfm on my other Arch machine can access nfs:// locations directly just fine22:29
aphirstpcmanfm claims to be 1.2.5 in both cases. I've searched all the keywords i can think of, and the error message pcmanfm gives, but can't find any threads actually relevant.22:29
aphirst(I initially asked in #lubuntu but was recommended to ask here instead)22:30
Jordan_Uaphirst: What error message does pcmanfm give?22:32
aphirst"the specified location is not supported"22:32
debronthis worked way better than what I though22:32
debronactually, I though this was impossible22:33
Bashing-omdebron: \o/22:33
debronlook Bashing-om , im connected to a TV HD ready trough HDMI, and in the TV specifications clearly says: MAX RESOLUTION SUPPORTED FOR PC IS 1024X768. I tried cheat the TV somehow with xrandr command, but no results... it didnt accept any other resolution22:34
debronand now it accepts even full hd22:34
debronxD22:34
Jordan_Uaphirst: Do you have gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse installed?22:34

debronlook, it sais: resolution for computers maximun 1024x768 :P22:35
Bashing-omdebron: He done good job on the driver .. huh ?22:35

debronyeah very good..22:35
jvwjgamesHello22:35
jvwjgamesi am done with some people22:35
debroni think this resolution problem i have now in full hd its because the TV22:36
debronits an old one22:36
debron1368x768 works very good22:36
Bashing-omdebron: Only a thought, but might see what results if ya change the DPI .22:37
jvwjgamesi have a customer that i am helping a vm with and he said that he needs to add #steam dependancies at the end of the apt-get install command22:37
tgm4883debron: HDMI?22:37
jvwjgamesand you don't22:37
debrontgm4883: yeah22:37
debronBashing-om: ?22:38
debronchanging the DPI you think I would be able to set full hd?22:38
tgm4883debron: I'd check the TV settings. There usually is a setting to fix HDMI overscan. I've seen it called overscan and sometimes HDMI mode22:38
Jordan_Uaphirst: Please try starting pcmanfm via the terminal and see if it makes any useful output to stdout when you try to open an nfs link.22:38
debrontgm4883: I will try22:38
tgm4883debron: that said, you're TV is probably just downscaling the image to 1024x768 if that is what it says the max res is22:39
Bashing-omdebron: No, will only effect what you display.22:39
Jordan_Udebron: Also sometimes "game mode" really means "Don't try to do a bunch of fancy things to the input, just display exactly what's given", which is generally what I want a TV to do anyway :)22:39
debron:P22:40
aphirstJordan_U, no output whatsoever, tried also after "killall"ing pcmanfm since it runs as a daemon for the desktop22:40
debronBashing-om: I will look into it22:40
aphirstno verbose option either as far as I can see22:40
Bashing-omdebron: In your GUI for the display is a setting to vary the DPI - some where .22:41
debronScale menu and title bar?22:42
debronnamed like that?22:42
debronxrdb says 96 dpi22:43
debronright now on 1360x76822:43
Bashing-omdebron: can "shrink" the display with a larger DPI selection .22:44
debrondo you know what would be a good ammount?22:44
Bashing-omdebron: A little goes a lomg way .. Just try say 100 and see what the effect is .. then adjust again ?22:45

tsuzukuHello, apologies if this is not the right channel to ask this. I honestly have no idea where to ask this. I am using the latest Ubuntu, and I noticed something strange when I tried to use hexdump. When I type in hexdump <filename> it gives me the bytes in a different endian order than if i were to do hd <filename> even though they are the same exact program. And I'm not sure why. And also it seems to print out what i assume is a visual22:45
tsuzukurepresentation of memory? But im not sure. Any ideas on how i can just make it print out the numbers. Here is what gets printed out at the moment. https://hastebin.com/kugunutepu.rb22:45
debronoki gonna try22:46
debronBashing-om: i think this will not work as i need22:48
Bashing-omdebron: As said, only a thought .22:49
debronin the resolution i am now its fine 1360x768 , but when i set 1920x1080, The top bar and left bar disapear on screen limit22:49
debroni tried setting this by the TV menu, to 16:9 signal22:49
debronand all possible modes, but none adjust how it should22:49

debronactually, there was a gui way to set the DPI (AKA scalling text and icons i guess)22:50
debronbut it didnt work22:50
aphirstSo yeah, I'm completely at a loss regarding this NFS access in pcmanfm22:50
aphirstwhat's different here in ubuntu compared to over on arch that the same package can't access NFS shares, when showmount displays them all the same22:50
debronI would like to add the mode 1440x900 , as is the native TV resolution22:50
debronwould be nice to achieve that22:50
