[00:02] How did you install the nvidia drivers, and what version? [00:06] oerheks: Hi : ) [00:17] oerheks: Through the official repos [00:24] this recent post wants to use the driver ppa.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028830/how-do-i-install-cuda-on-ubuntu-18-04 [00:25] and some odd missing ocl-icd-libopencl1 package https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032430/opencl-with-nvidia-390-on-ubunut-18-04 [00:26] the newest cuda includes a newer nvidia driver [00:27] (396.26) [00:27] I'm on Ubuntu 18.04. I hit prtscrn and... something happens. Where does the screenshot get saved to? [00:27] https://pastebin.com/hmN27Ekt [00:27] bobdobbs: it pops a dialog and asks you where to save [00:27] Hello Guys, Linux noobie here..I am trying to script a quick bash script that will start ssh-add command so that I don't have to type the passphrase again and again. [00:27] bobdobbs, standard in ~/Pictures .. [00:27] I wrote this..But its not working [00:28] https://pastebin.com/hmN27Ekt [00:28] Can anyone please help [00:28] kk: you are doing it wrong [00:28] oerheks: thanks! [00:28] spikebike: Can you please tell me what is wrong with this? [00:28] kk: default 18.04 already runs an agent/keychain, just run ssh-add once and you are golden [00:29] kk: don't run an agent, don't put it in a script [00:30] Ok..Let me change my script to run just ssh-add. [00:30] hi, does tcpdump include all wifi packats send by wlan adapter? i got some problem with packet spam i cant identify which doesnt seem to be on fedora 28 just on my ubuntu 18.04. its a rt2800pci wifi [00:30] Asuran: it's most accurate to just name the interface you want to use with tcpdump. [00:30] with -i? done it [00:31] tcpdump will receive all packets accepted by the interface(s) [00:31] does ubuntu 18.04 use a qt4 qt5 enviornment? [00:31] trying to figure out which to download [00:31] http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/download.html [00:31] nevermind; theres an ubuntu package lol [00:32] hggdh: okay so wavemon isnt showing more then tcpdump ? [00:33] Hi -- i am running ubuntu artful (17.10) and am not able to install package 'strongswan-plugin-eap-mschapv2' -- can i install a package from an earlier release of ubuntu? i see it there for trusty and xenial [00:33] spikebike: https://pastebin.com/HEEU90GR [00:33] Getting this error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent." [00:34] kk: running which ubuntu? [00:34] DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.10" [00:34] Not sure if this is the problem [00:35] that's way past EoL [00:35] hmm..I am running the bash shell in my Windows.. [00:35] dijondon, maybe this answer is a help https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029907/trouble-setting-up-ikev2-ipsec-on-18-04-unable-to-locate-package-strongswan-ik/1030024 [00:36] strongswan-swanctl [00:38] oerheks, i can install the mschapv2 plugin using swanctl? [00:38] if i read that post correctly, you would need the libcharon-extra-plugins too [00:39] or maybe it pulls that automaticly [00:39] so idk is someone spamming(scan?) ubuntu installations and that is what i see or is it a bug? [00:40] Asuran, packet spam during ubuntu installation? [00:40] for a while now, my netbook developed a habit of surprising me with numlock suddenly being on. how to debug? Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS xenial, Xfce 4.12 [00:40] during install also [00:40] all time [00:40] when i tried other distro nothing like that [00:40] so in my opinion its bug but idk tcpdump doesnt fit with wavemon activity [00:41] so your adapters sees packages from surrounding wlan clients [00:41] it look like it sends packages and get response from gateway [00:41] but i cant get the prove since tcpdump doesnt show i [00:41] all i got is wavemon + the acitivty lamp on the apdater [00:42] which happens only on ubuntu [00:42] Asuran: tcpdump receives all packets accepted by the interface being sniffed. Wavemon seems to have a different type of connection to the *wireless* interface [00:43] so what im supposed todo switch distro or [00:44] even creating launchpad account doesnt work here, always fails at my name which isnt uncommon or special character [00:47] sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp && sudo ufw logging on && sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall [00:47] and be happy === seth is now known as Guest33870 === vox_ is now known as vox [00:49] oerheks: done, still same [00:49] so i can expect its from inside then? [00:51] disable wavemon and that led activity stops [00:52] oerheks: eh no it doesnt. the other thing on fedora 28 this problem doesnt exist no matter if use wavemon etc. [00:52] it seems only be ubuntu related, but idk what it is === rojo is now known as akaiiro [00:53] nethogs doesnt show atleast no process is responsible for it like snapd [00:56] nethogs, wavemon, tcdump .. how does snapd fit in? [00:58] i wanted to say with this example its not a process if i see it right which causes the packet spam (nethogs) === Nicmavr is now known as Guest18382 [01:01] hum, cant do a release upgrade because mirror.umd.edu is down.. [01:02] Slade, change the mirror to 'main' for now [01:02] or your version is way EOL ... [01:03] I have to dual boot another Operating system. The MBR is set up by ubuntu. What is the easiest way to add that anohter partition OS to ubuntu's grub so that I can dual boot? [01:03] oerheks, havent done that before. [01:04] type sources in bash, and the tool/menu pops up [01:04] ah, no gui :D [01:05] pankaj, update-grub or os-prober from within ubuntu [01:07] you have a lot of issues in your life.. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list # and replace it with http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [01:07] oerheks: Will it itself search for partition that want to be dual booted and configure its configuration file? [01:07] something like this maybe? sudo sed -i 's|https://mirror.umd.edu/|http://archive.ubuntu.com/|g' /etc/apt/sources.list [01:07] i think that sed works too [01:08] sudo apt install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade [01:09] pankaj, normally yes [01:10] oerheks: OK [01:10] some choose to chainload those grub installs, i would seperate linux installs by hdd and bios-switch [01:11] oerheks, i'm lazy so i like sed.. thanks for the help :) [01:11] have fun! [01:11] i'm surprised theres no cli tool for auto reselecting the mirror [01:15] bad sign.. https://pastebin.com/ZmVBDHqa === FrankF1 is now known as FrankF [01:32] hi all [01:39] Hello [01:39] hi [01:39] how are u [01:39] Doing great. [01:40] So, need some knowledge. I downloaded http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.vmdk .. and I have no idea what the default username and password is. [01:41] steelnwool: should be ubuntu/ubuntu [01:41] you'd think so :) [01:42] steelnwool: ah, sorry. There is no password, you have to boot it with a public key [01:42] who can hacked me [01:42] steelnwool: see, for example, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29137679/login-credentials-of-ubuntu-cloud-server-image [01:43] crazyhacker: off topic [01:44] hggdh: fair enough. now... to find out the IP of the machine :) [01:44] steelnwool:heh. Now, only you would know it, after all, you are booting it [01:45] hggdh: yeah, I've not messed with vms in quite some time. I have to find which subnet and do some nmapping. [01:45] But yeah. trying. [01:47] Can anyone help me troubleshoot a data loss problem with an Ext4 formatted external drive? My machine crashes daily, this time on reboot I cannot decrypt the drive. [01:49] "Error mounting /dev/dm-3 at ...: can't read superblock on /dev/mapper/luks-4795f4... [01:50] I have an installation of Ubuntu 16.04.4 on an armhf SBC (with HDMI out to a TV) that I'm trying to get JWM working on. I've installed jwm, xserver-xorg, xinit, and created a basic /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, but when I run xinit, I get the fatal error "Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)" in the Xorg log. I'm guessing I might be able to get around this by doing sudo xinit, but I know you shoudn't just blindly sudo things unless you know i [01:50] t's appropriate. should I be sudoing xinit or is there some bit of config I'm still missing? [01:51] Furthermore, using Disks it shows two volumes at 1TB each when there should only be one [01:51] kvndy: have you checked the SMART health of the drive? [01:54] dabbler: I don't think I can check SMART data & self tests until the drive mounts, which it appears to almost do but fails [01:55] "Error mounting filesystem, can't read superblock..." [01:55] And it was practically a brand new drive, and my first month on Ubuntu, already with catastrophic drive failure, very disappointing. [01:56] Hello, is it correct that Ubuntu 16.04 has not received Vulkan 1.1? [01:56] i was spoiled using other OSes, and didn't realize how hairy things were over here [01:56] For the standard nvidia drivers [01:56] oops. batt died. if anyone (e.g. kvndy) replied to me, I missed it. kindly repeat [01:57] dabbler: I don't think I can check SMART data & self tests until the drive mounts, which it appears to almost do but fails [01:58] And it was practically a brand new drive, and my first month on Ubuntu, already with catastrophic drive failure, very disappointing. [01:58] kvndy: no mounting is needed to check SMART [01:58] hggdh: what did you mean by "boot it with a public key" ? [01:59] kvndy: do you know what /dev/ device it is? [02:01] steelnwool: cloud images must be booted passing the (initial) public key for one to ssh into. I do not remember the details on it, though [02:02] dabbler: Maybe dm-3 or maybe /dev/sdb? Not sure. I correctly type the password to decrypt, but in Disks there appears two 1TB volumes when there should only be one [02:02] There is also /dev/mapper/luks-4795...etc [02:03] Two devices /dev/sdb and /dev/mapper/luks... [02:05] kvndy: I'd examine an sdb before a mapper one [02:05] The unlocked one is not named, and my volume that I named does not mount. [02:05] hggdh: yeah, I'm trying to do this on fusion, which is a different beast. I think I'm attacking this problem the wrong way. [02:05] dabbler1: examine how? [02:05] kvndy: I would install the package gsmartcontrol === PickledEggs_ is now known as PickledEggs [02:06] dabbler1: I will have a look at it, thanks [02:07] kvndy: there may not be anything wrong with your disk hardware, but i'd always verify that first because if there is a hardware problem, you need to know ASAP in order to save as much data as possible [02:11] dabbler1: gsmartcontrol is not saying much. [02:12] "View Details" shows "no additional information available for this drive" [02:12] "Enable SMART" and "Perform Tests" are greyed out and cannot be selected [02:12] kvndy: hmm how is the disk connected to the comp? USB? [02:12] yes [02:14] Computer crashed like it does everyday, but this time after typing correct password to decrypt it shows two volumes in Disks, one mounted with a long hashed name, and another not mounted with the name I gave it [02:15] kvndy: ugh. the software support for SMART over USB often isn't there. do you have the option of removing the disk from whatever external enclosure you have it in and connecting it internally, like via SATA? [02:15] dabber1: not really, no [02:16] kvndy: do you have a windows installation you can connect it to? [02:17] kvndy: I've noticed the $-free CCleaner app on Windows can often show SMART data for drives connected via USB [02:18] dabbler1: I could wipe Ubuntu and restore Windows which came installed, I made a recovery USB drive [02:18] Or try a dual boot but I'm a novice at this [02:19] kvndy: eh that sounds like a lot of work. is this an off-the-shelf sealed external enclosure? is that why you can't connect internally? [02:21] dabbler1: No, I bought the case separately, I can take it out, I just don't have a machine to put it in. Maybe I could take apart the laptop I'm using now, I also have an older mac that I've taken apart plenty of times, but the motherboard is fried and requires an external drive [02:21] dabbler1: I had my data on an external drive here so I could wipe Ubuntu and try out other distros if I felt brave, never got around to it though. [02:22] This laptop has a small internal SSD [02:22] hi [02:22] kvndy: can you think of any desktop machines you could use? friends? work? [02:23] dabbler1: Not impossible, but... [02:23] dabbler1: Do you know of any tools on mac OSX that can troubleshoot Ext4 formatted drives? [02:24] kvndy: you could check smart params (provided the USB thing isn't a problem), and i think you could run fsck on them [02:24] A dual boot windows install on this machine would be easier than bothering someone else to use their desktop, but on the other hand, I've lost a bit more than a month of data and would very much like it back [02:25] dabbler1: I've never heard of SMART before, or at least didn't pay attention, OS X has fsck but I'm not sure about Ext4 support [02:26] without smart support for your usb adapter, how could we help? [02:27] oerheks: well, if (s)he wanted to dual-boot, we could at least point him/her to something on how to do that, right? [02:27] he [02:27] noted :p [02:27] should I start reading the smartctl man page? [02:28] it has nothing to do with ubuntu, hardware issue .. but one could perform a fsck.ext4 fix https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting#e2fsprogs_-_ext2.2C_ext3.2C_ext4_filesystems [02:29] * for that external hdd [02:29] else i read more issues with the pc itself, so i wonder where this all started and if that machine is the right idea to use [02:31] kvndy: I also would get those reboots figured out before relying on that machine [02:32] Can I multiline paste in here without getting killed? [02:32] fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb [02:32] /dev/sdb: [02:32] The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 [02:32] filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 [02:32] filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock [02:32] !paste [02:32] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:32] kvndy: i would not do an fsck.ext4 fix before confirming the drive hardware is healthy first. otherwise you might only degrade your data more [02:34] dabbler1: This is probably not a hardware issue, the drive is new. My machine crashes daily, and I suspect did something to the drive [02:34] kvndy: i would suspect that too, but if this is data you couldn't afford to lose, i would be safe about it [02:35] kvndy: a machine crashing daily is a recipe for constant filesystem corruption problems [02:35] Can the usual if.vlan naming convention still be used with netplan and the networkd renderer? [02:36] kvndy: does the disk's power come via USB or a wall wart? [02:37] dabbler1: USB [02:38] What I don't understand is where the second partition came from. There should only be one partition, 1TB, not two 1TB partitions [02:39] kvndy: ok. they're engineered not to be damaged by sudden power losses, but i'd still be made nervous by daily power losses [02:41] "filesystem intact" "Filesystem on /dev/mapper/luks-4795f4a.... is undamaged" [02:41] kvndy: i don't have much insight into why it might appear twice, short of a corrupted partition table. unless you were modifying your partition table when the comp crashed i wouldn't think that likely [02:42] dabbler1: No I was not, but it sounds like the partition table did get corrupted somehow, or something along those lines === yn_ is now known as yn [02:44] kvndy: not necessarily. there are several layers of software involved in disk management and presentation. a file system corrupted in a certain way could perhaps trip one of them up into presenting a duplicate volume [02:45] what is fstab and is it possible that is what is messed up? [02:45] kvndy: i'm not familiar with the layers at work in modern Ubuntu, unfortunately [02:46] kvndy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab [02:47] kvndy: in principle it dictates what devices to mount at what mount points and with what options to the relevant driver === giraffe is now known as Guest49045 [02:48] kvndy: i think its maintenance might be semi-automated in modern Ubuntu [02:48] oerheks: Are still there? [02:50] kvndy: have you done any manual modification of /etc/fstab? [02:53] dabbler1: no [02:54] Well this is interesting, there are superblock backups and I've listed them from some stack overflow question, but I still don't quite know what a superblock is yet [02:55] kvndy: just realized… the two 1-GB partitions you see… they're /dev/sdb and /dev/mapper/luks…? [02:55] dabbler1: yes! 1TB though [02:55] kvndy: One can spre off the superblock with a backup(s). Is this drive MBR partitioned ? [02:56] kvndy: the superblock is an internal book-keeping structure in an extN filesystem [02:56] not sure if it's MBR partitioned [02:57] kvndy: pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . IF MBR I have a good guide to sparing that superblock off . [02:59] kvndy: just realized. /dev/sdb represents the raw data on your disk. in your case that data is encrypted. the /dev/mapper/luks… device is a virtual device that represents /dev/sdb after it's been decrypted. they have the same size because they are the same size. they're just the same stretch of disk in two different logical states, so to speak [03:01] kvndy: for access concerned with the physical device (such as looking at SMART status), you'd access /dev/sdb. for access concerned with the filesystem (such as fsck or accessing files), you'd use the LUKS mapped pseudo-device [03:01] https://pastebin.com/kbMw3nYv [03:03] dabbler1: nice explanation [03:04] kvndy: LUKS is the driver that handles the full-disk encryption for you [03:05] kvndy: Yuk , not enough to tell .. and with encrtption and such .. " I know Nothing " . [03:06] Bashing-om: Thanks for looking anyway [03:07] kvndy: :) .. I just "thought" I might be able to help . [03:08] kvndy: looking at your paste now. a "loop-back device". that's what the LUKS virtual devices are known as in Linux world [03:08] kvndy: i think because it's looped back into the device tree through a kernel module (driver) [03:11] You're talking over my head here. Is a superblock sparing actually a possibility I should pursue? [03:12] kvndy: can you do a pastebin of the fsck /dev/mapper/luks/… output? [03:14] kvndy: if the primary/default superblock is damaged, then yes, using the backup superblock is highly relevant for you [03:16] FIXED !!! [03:17] kvndy: Do tell ! [03:17] All thanks to dabbler1 (and a little help from Bashing-om), the solution was simply fsck /dev/mapper/luks NOT /dev/sdb, which makes sense given your earlier explanation [03:18] HELLYEAH [03:18] Time to back this shizz up [03:18] kvndy: You do good work :) [03:19] My excuse for not backing up was I've been using node.js and node_modules is ridiculous [03:19] So I'll put that off until tomorrow [03:20] Right now it is time to celebrate. [03:20] kvndy: great! glad you got it figured out. yeah, just keep that role of the two devices firmly in mind. [03:20] Thanks again dabbler1 and Bashing-om !!! [03:20] kvndy: you're welcome. sorry it took me so long to think haha [03:22] Party time, excellent, goodnight!

To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [06:16] Okay F1 and F2 do not work F3 does tho strange [06:17] I hope that the VMWare is not somehow messing that up [06:18] Thank you [06:18] Suntop_K: there is a vmware channel too if you like [06:26] lotuspsychje, as long as I can get to 1 tty its fine just F1 and F2 do not work but F3-F6 works fine i do not need more than 1 thank you for the info [06:27] Suntop_K: ok great you fixxed it [06:38] syb0rg: thanks for the link [06:39] I ended up fixing the permission error by installing the package xserver-xorg-legacy. (not sure why a "legacy" package was needed, but *shrug*) [06:39] cool, glad it works [06:40] /whois $me [06:40] ^ignore that [06:41] How can I configure it such that xinit launches into JWM instead of just giving me an xterm window? [06:43] I am reporting some problem that killed my machine yesterday, it stopped responding with a large disk usage and become unresponsive (and network and ssh and console). I have seen previously that RAM is fully consumed.and reporting now some systemd problem upon boot. [06:44] (systemd-journald crashed with SIGABRT in journal_file_append) [06:44] !recovery | nikolam can you still enter recoverymode? [06:44] nikolam can you still enter recoverymode?: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [06:45] lotuspsychje, upon reboot, everything semems ok, sounds like some memory storm? [06:46] aha! nm. the solution was to use startx instead of xinit [06:47] lotuspsychje, I reported that automatic report that popped up [06:48] It smells like something leaked and filled RAM and the resto of the OS, apps was hit swapping (8G RAM and used up to 50% usually) [06:48] nikolam: take a look at your syslog or dmesg, to see whats going on [06:49] And I think I even set Kernel to warn if ther eis no RAM and not to kill kernel apps [06:49] ok [06:52] lotuspsychje, looking at dmesg gives only messages from the current boot, right? [06:52] yes [06:52] so won't help with figuring out about that memry storm [06:53] look at kern.log [06:53] it rolls over into .1, .2.gz and so on [06:54] gunzip -c kern.log.2.gz | less and so on [06:56] Hi I want my ldap users to login to desktop but when I am trying to do I cant see menus and settings how can i configure gui for ldap users [06:57] How did you configure ldap [06:57] yaldak: I have an ldap server running openldap 2.4 [06:58] I can login to remote users I just want gui too [06:58] nikolam: did you say which ubuntu release this is, yet? [06:58] lsb_release -ds [06:58] tomreyn: are you saying the logged in users are not getting a GUI? [06:59] yaldak: no, you must be mixing me up with someone else [06:59] : I mount home directory from server using autofs [06:59] yes, sorry, i meant noname90 :) [06:59] No issues [06:59] do they have a default shell [07:00] yaldak: Yep bash [07:01] are you using nscd [07:01] yes [07:01] 50-ubuntu.conf edited this file to included greeter login also [07:01] lightdm.com [07:01] does greeter show? [07:02] Yes [07:02] ok what wm ? [07:02] i have seen this before with xfce, where u login and get nothing but grey screen and a cursor [07:02] I can login to user desktop but I cant see even a close button [07:03] close button to logout or on the user panel? [07:03] close button to logout or on an application pane*? [07:03] application pane [07:03] :) [07:03] gnome? [07:03] yes [07:04] Infact I dont see any menus at all [07:04] I want to set default gui [07:04] for ldap user [07:06] That's weird it should just work, check your greeter config [07:06] greeter should let you choose what kind of session its popping the user into [07:06] and there are different types for gnome [07:08] noname90: Could be something else like dbus failing to start, maybe look at syslog for anything suspicious [07:09] Also make sure the user actually owns their home directory gnome cannot write to it when trying to initialize the profile [07:20] yaldak: Sorry for delay and my server is running different os will that a problem? [07:20] Its running centos [07:21] noname90: No it shouldn't matter, I have had ubuntu clients login on Windows AD server [07:22] Did you check ownership of the home folders? [07:28] I want to create a link between folder /home/user/Documents/extension and /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension such that if I change any file in first folder it also get changes in second one. What should be the correct command for this ? [07:30] man ln [07:30] you want a symbolic link, so the -s switch [07:30] since you cannot hard link directories [07:30] yaldak: But which should come first in ln ? [07:31] ln - s /home/user/Documents/extension /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension [07:31] or [07:31] ln -s /home/user/.ipython/extensions/extension /home/user/Documents/extension [07:31] that is up to you, the format is [07:31] ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME [07:32] TARGET = the original folder, LINK_NAME = the reference to it [07:32] So if I change a file in one it will also reflect in another ? [07:32] No matter which is target and which is link. [07:33] yea, but u have to be careful [07:33] because the behavior of ln as documented is as follows [07:34] Suppose I have folder /opt/foo and I want a linked to it at /home/dinosaur/foo [07:35] you must not create the folder /home/dinosaur/foo itself, because ln will by default create the symlink file inside of the directory [07:35] so you would do [07:35] ln -s /opt/foo /home/dinosaur [07:35] then it will create the foo symlink node inside of /home/dinosaur [07:35] if the second arg is a directory it places a link to the first arg inside it [07:37] Okay, thank you. I am beginner, sorry to bother you. [07:38] not a bother at all [07:38] good luck to you [07:38] and test it somewhere first before you destroy data === fabricius1 is now known as fabricius === hehehe is now known as Guest54829 === Guest54829 is now known as hehehe === yaldak is now known as yaldak[afk] [08:15] hello [08:37]
