[02:50] for some reason my full-disk-encrypted ubuntu box won't decrypt unless i boot into recovery mode, enter the password, then just press 'continue' to pass the recovery part [02:50] any ideas why this could be?

Could you recommend the most current and available safest tor client for ubuntu? [06:58] Is that because the ntfs drive is broken ? [06:58] OhPie, i use Tor happily from by Ubuntu here, but I realize the flaws in it and they are no concern for what I do [06:58] (flaws in Tor - not Ubuntu) [06:58] I have configureded ubuntu in pen drive cause i could not boot windows 7 [06:59] (weaknesses would be a better word than flaws too) [06:59] guiverc <<| that's informative, thank you sir. [07:00] What are the most common security issues with Ubuntu in 2018.. Considering it's 2018? Outside of Sectre and so on? [07:00] OhPie, sorry I can't offer the best advice on tor - I use the default packages only [07:01] Please reply [07:01] My approach is this. i want to spread tor use. For typicall use. Not for bad reasons. [07:01] I want tor to be standard data sharing... [07:01] more than it is [07:01] and I want to use ubuntu to do it [07:01] god morgon Ohpie [07:02] before I can do that I need to know it's security limits. [07:02] Hur mår du Ohpie?

[07:24] raddy normally no. with persistence, yes.: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [07:26] cfhowlett: so, i can do that only via LiveCD and Live USB, or LiveCD not required ? [07:27] raddy, rather difficult to save anything to a CD yes? But you can do persistence on a USB [07:28] cfhowlett: my question is, i don't have cd rom drive. so, i can enable perisistance on one connected usb pen drive which is also acting as liveusb [07:29] if you follow the instructions you can convert your ubuntu live USB to a live USB with persistence [07:48] putting port 22 and port 2828 (multiple ports to connect with) is fine in etc/ssh/sshd_config ?

[08:43] spajderix, suspected as such (it was a hail mary..) - my only other thought was if you always try default first, advanced second - two default boots may work (equally hail-mary, but would maybe point to hardware failing????)

That worked! I wonder why, though. Anyway thank you for your suggestion [08:52] nareshkk: That is probably permissions.

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 it [10:00] also, 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 it [10:01] does anyone have a solution for eihter of those? [10:04] snufft: maybe you can check keyserver.ubuntu.com for the right key? [10:05] snufft, we would probably need to see the output from running the commands... but overall... find the key and remove it... apt-get purge mariadb [10:07] hi. [10:07] Whats the best way to mirror the package installation on a second ubuntu ? [10:08] You 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. [10:09] JimBuntu: can I get just a list that can be piped into apt-get install on the secondary machine? [10:10] cariveri, should be able to. Are you using apt? [10:10] yes [10:10] I think the biggest hassle would be if you have additional PPAs. [10:10] I avoid using PPAs , so should not be a lot. [10:13] cariveri, `apt list --installed` to get your list... probably want to `cut` that list at the "/" and pipe into `apt-get install -y` [10:14] JimBuntu: hm. yea. apt doesnt get me a list of package names right away :( === ehsanshadi is now known as linuxbaaz [10:15] cariveri, alternatively, you should be able to use `dpkg -l` as well. [10:20] I am trying to unmount a directory but I get "target is busy". How can I find out what is keeping it occupied? [10:22] cariveri: best way is to use "debfoster --show-keepers" (after doing "sudo debfoster --quiet" ) [10:22] osse: lsof /path/to/directory [10:22] TJ-, are you actually simply the best bot ever written? [10:23] JimBuntu: error; does not compute [10:23] brainwash: no output [10:23] TJ-, props to your ma and pa, they had mad neural networking skills. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [10:24] JimBuntu: All it takes is read man-pages :) [10:24] Hi folks [10:26] How to allow ssh traffic(regardless of port number ) (inbound or outbound in ANY and all cases) for specific users only? [10:29] brainwash: it helps to stp the NFS server ... :p === 7YSAARU6W is now known as miracle_huang [10:56] Hi, I have a 3 hard drives, where I have Ubuntu on one, Win 10 on another and the third is just my personal files [10:56] this is the 3rd time this happens to me on Ubuntu that suddenly, I can not read anything from that hard drive with my personal files [10:57] It 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 them [10:57] it happened twice some days ago and now it happened today again [10:58] it has not happened on Win10 yet but I have not been using Win10 alot [10:58] is my harddrive dying? [10:58] should I try to remount that drive? [10:58] do you have any ideas? [10:59] if I restart, it will probably work again [11:01] Siamaster, to look at HDD health, use `smartctl` (found in smartmontools) or if using gui, `gnome-disks` [11:01] Siamaster: install smartmontools and run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX on the disk [11:02] upload the results somewhere, also when it happens if you type "dmesg" does it say anything about the disk? [11:02] ok, I'll do that now ty [11:03] Guest88030: ended up deleting the key, thanks for the suggestion though :) [11:04] The terminal entered a "semi-gui" mode for postfix confiugration [11:04] JimBuntu: i understand. I think i've found a way around those particular problems though, thanks anyway :) [11:04] how do I exit that window? [11:04] and I dind't have to purge mariadb, thank god, haha [11:04] Siamaster, i'd suggest just picking 'no config' [11:04] there is a button (?) [11:04] ok, should I just close the terminal? [11:05] I can't get by that window, and when clicking the close button, it warns me about ongoing process [11:05] Siamaster, 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 & enter [11:06] There is no no-config alternative [11:06] I'll just close it and try again [11:06] I came to the same window [11:07] it's not reacting to any keyboard input [11:08] Siamaster, how did you load smartmon* - from term command (sudo apt..) or how? [11:08] yes [11:08] sudo apt [11:09] i used arrow keys to tell it postfix no config & hit enter... it then continued install... [11:11] Hmm, I can't do that, the arrow keys just scrolls [11:11] I'm trying to send an email using terminal. i did this -> [11:11] sendmail aasifk106@gmail.com < /home/aasif/Desktop/Software/email/email.txt [11:11] Siamaster: laptop? fn-lock causing arrows to be pgup/pgdn ? [11:12] but it's showing an error: sendmail: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587 [11:12] hit TAB to change focus in a whiptail tui [11:12] ah [11:12] need to press tab [11:12] https://askubuntu.com/questions/87872/how-do-i-accept-the-configuration-screen-that-pops-up-when-installing-postfix?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa [11:12] Siamaster, the [curses] postfix config screen is where i used arrow keys to select 'no config' (at top of list from memory) and just pressed enter [11:13] I'm trying to send an email using terminal. I did this -> sendmail < /path/to/file/that/will/act/as/email/content [11:13] Hello Everybody [11:13] but it's showing an error [11:13] hi [11:13] sendmail: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587 [11:14] I have enabled persistent boot option in Ubuntu 17.04 after setting the partition in my pen drive [11:14] I'm trying to send an email using terminal. I did this -> sendmail < /path/to/file/that/will/act/as/email/content [11:14] does someone know a way around the error that i'm getting [11:14] sendmail: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587 [11:14] Is persistent feature reduces performance and wear out the pen drive more quickly ? [11:16] How can i know where a package (steam) stores the translation files? [11:16] dpkg -L packagename lists all the files it installed [11:17] does someone know a way to send email through terminal? [11:18] I get "A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options." [11:18] codebot_: what have you found so far? [11:18]
