[00:01] Is there a USB drive with hardware encryption that works in Ubuntu ? [00:02] can you do software encryption? [00:04] google linux usb encryption [00:06] Maybe, but im wondering if there are any companies that have found a way to make it OS agnostic, without having to install anything. Someone at work told me they use Kingston with encryption, but unless its hardware based I dont see how it can with all of the OSes. [00:06] They didnt give me a model number so Im not sure which one they are talking about. [00:08] I read about the data traveler drives, but it seems people open them up in a windows VM to decrypt and then access it in Linux. Hardly seems like a good option I think [00:09] hmm, I see one with a keypad on the drive lol [00:09] stochastix https://www.fabathome.org/best-encrypted-drive/ [00:09] That may work. [00:10] ive seen some that have 2FA [00:10] This looks neat http://www.legitreviews.com/kingston-datatraveler-2000-encrypted-flash-drive-review_177893 [00:10] Oh yea, same thing. urgodfather [00:10] thanks for the link, Ill read through those. [00:11] ive seen others, but you may want to consider something more secure and less risky [00:11] like a secure server [00:12] IMO depending on what you are trying to store [00:12] if its crypto then they have speciallized HW for that now depending on the alt [00:14] is there any reason to use hardware encryption over open-source software encryption? [00:15] for data storage at least? [00:37] need to set an auto join here :p [00:47] HI all, I just installed 18.04 on a device and it's loading up to a purple screen even after waiting a considerable time. [00:47] I verified the hash but it appears to be correct [00:47] Is there anything special I need to do with AMD APUs? [00:51] Oh, I forgot [00:51] I'm using the default DE not Kubuntu or any other build [00:52] Hmm. seems it magically fixed itself after a few restarts [00:52] Weird [00:58] hi I have a question about arguments and scripting can anyone help me with it please? [01:02] Cookie8888 what is the question [01:02] most rooms dont like people asking to ask... just ask and wait [01:04] urgodfather: got it thanks === giraffe is now known as Guest33711 [01:08] Cookie8888 what is the question? [01:14] can you do those sudo smartctl tests on ntfs drives in ubuntu? [01:15] urgodfather: well I did debit=1200 then debit="$1" and echo "$1" so showed the value 1200 but when I tried a second thing credit=500 credit="$2" and echo "$2" showing blank [01:16] Mibix, smartctl tools rely on drive electronics; as long as your drives have smart chips (some cheapos don't) the fs (filesystem) being used doesn't matter (it's not touched) [01:17] Mibix: NTFS is a file system. S.M.A.R.T. is a sensoric interface provided by the drive firmware. so whatever file systems and partitions are (not) on the disk, you can use it (as long as the drive provides the feature, but almost all do). [01:17] script looks right [01:17] can you use it while its still mounted tomreyn? [01:17] Mibix: yes [01:17] pretty new to the drive tools in linux [01:18] urgodfather: not showing $2 as 500 just blank [01:19] change to different id [01:19] like "id" for example [01:19] lol it appears i do not have smartctl installed :p [01:20] anyone in here able to help me set up an ftp server on my vps [01:20] sorry to be a noob. i have tried. [01:20] ok [01:20] i got as far as setting apache up [01:20] kinda need it to point at that directory really [01:20] wharf what service do you want to use? [01:21] one that works xD [01:21] Wharf: does it run ubuntu? why an ftp server? [01:21] wait whats different "id" [01:21] needed to drop some flash files on there for a red5 based chat room [01:21] for video and sound streaming [01:21] installed red5 and apache, but cant seem to think of an easy way for me to get the files there [01:22] Cookie8888 usually when i script i dont use symbols [01:22] ok [01:22] wharf [01:22] use sftp [01:22] same as ssh [01:23] easy to use mate/ [01:23] tomreyn im getting some weird thing about mail server config when i try to do sudo apt-get install smartmontools [01:23] ant idea? [01:23] so open filezilla and put in sftp://youriphere and port 22 not 21 [01:24] or what ever client you use [01:24] also another quick one to baffle you, well i say baffle, this might be a piece of cake for you. [01:24] Mibix: that's unrelated. [01:24] downloaded the red5 flash chat files, only instructions it has is edit the flv file and add ur servers ip pretty much [01:24] every program i open the flv in, it becomes gibarish! [01:25] Wharf: setting up anything adobe flash based in 2018 just seems wrong. [01:25] tried notepad, wordpad, notepad c++ , vb, [01:25] i know xD haha, not sure why i pretty like the red5 stuff lol [01:25] years ago i set a small website up using it, was pretty neat, seemed much easyer back then, now im brain dead lol [01:26] rcmaehl: Still with issues ? Have you updated the system ? Do terminal commands ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' Any issues reported ? [01:27] its a shame cause it comes with the direct admin control panel, but it dont seem to show the apache files [01:27] in ssh the directorys are there, but the admin panel, it only shows a small area. [01:28] Bashing-om, ran upgrade via a tty terminal. Seems to be working fine now. Wasn't expecting these kinds of issues from Ubuntu but then again I've been away from Linux since like 2012 [01:28] Wharf: is this actually ubuntu you run there? [01:29] yes mate [01:29] stall Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux [01:29] comes up in the ssh lol [01:29] !12.04 [01:29] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) was the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-of-life was April 28th 2017. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2017-April/003833.html for more information [01:30] Wharf you need to upgrade [01:30] ohh [01:30] where is this vps located? [01:30] Wharf: this is end of life, unsupported here. you could buy extedned support from canonical. [01:30] what host [01:30] amsterdam mate. [01:30] fdc servers [01:30] im from the uk [01:30] thats fine [01:31] so do sudo do-release-upgrade [01:31] let it do its deal [01:31] reboot [01:31] ubuntu 16 [01:31] nice one guys, ill get on it [01:31] damn lol that controller the questionable drive is on isnt smart enabled [01:31] once i stop backing it up ill switch it to one i guess [01:32] how old is this controller. i thought everything is smart enabled these days [01:32] Mibix: the controlle rjust needs to pass through the ATA commands, it's the drive that matters. [01:33] https://i.imgur.com/Mreqjaa.jpg [01:33] dont ban me pls [01:33] just thought i'd share [01:33] :) [01:34] urgodfather: I am so confused [01:34] Cookie8888 why? [01:35] urgodfather: did credit=500 credit="$1" echo $1 assuming would show 500 nope blank [01:36] haha xD [01:36] tomreyn im guessing all these old age and pre-failure things are not good :p https://imgur.com/a/MiNgiib [01:37] those are just types [01:38] doesn't mean your drive is in bad shape [01:38] it keeps dropping off [01:40] cookie chage $1 to anything else, use letters... like cr or db [01:40] so credit=500 credit="cr" echo "cr" [01:41] hm ok [01:42] Mibix: #ubuntu is not ##hardware, but it doesn't look too healthy. [01:44] that's a consumer drive which has been powered on for a total of 3.5 years. it should have surpassed its expected lifetime by now. === dirty_ramirez is now known as rbt [01:49] tomreyn you'd be surprised about the lifespan of consumer drives [01:49] i have sites still using PATA [01:49] daily [01:49] how idk [01:49] lol [01:52] urgodfather, cheaper to maintain than upgrade [01:53] not when you cant find drives [01:53] thats our biggest issue [01:53] https://www.amazon.com/Maxtor-6L250R0-250GB-7200RPM-Drive/dp/B000YJ2UPA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1529459628&sr=8-4&keywords=IDE+drive [01:54] Ummm [01:55] reviews dont look good [01:55] There's also WD blues [01:55] and diamondmax [01:55] There's surprisingly more IDE drives on amazon than I though [01:56] I should buy one for my P3 retro machine since some are NiB [01:56] Or 4 [01:56] rcmaehl want some OG xbox's too? [01:56] i have like 3 of them [01:56] please stay on topic [01:56] Sure. Those make great console emulators [01:56] they do [01:56] okay [01:56] sorry leftyfb [01:59] sorry leftyfb [02:00] dont want to get myself in trouble [02:00] been there before, was told no more pass' regardless if it was me or not === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [02:28] i went to install a new ssd but was unable to install with the xfs filesystem but ext4 worked fine - i got the OS installed with XFS but the system wouldn't boot but the system booted with ext4 [02:30] i heard about a new filesystem called f2fs but i guess it isn't ready for "primetime" [02:43] eelstrebor, Android makes use of that [02:43] What is the difference between ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso and ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso (with the word "live" being included in the file name on the latter)? The size is obviously different, but I'm wondering ... does the "live" version include extra modules by default? Thanks. [02:44] Randolf, server implies less gui [02:44] Yeah, I know. [02:44] I'm asking about the difference between these two ISO images based on the "live" part being in the filename. [02:44] live = desktop [02:45] Huh? Both of these are server OSes. [02:45] yes, but live you can run off the install media and has gui [02:45] I tried to find out by searching the web site, but nothing came up. [02:45] Oh, I see. [02:45] Okay. [02:46] I had noticed that Python and a whole bunch of other modules got installed along with Ubuntu Server when I installed from the "live" ISO> [02:46] . [02:46] I don't remember that being the case with 16.04. [02:47] same here, my mem fails me [02:47] I like to start with a minimal installation when it comes to servers, and then just add what's needed. [02:48] [; good approach, minimalism [02:48] nice & tidy [02:49] The opposite of Android [; [02:49] That's one thing I really liked about NetBSD. What I dislike about NetBSD is that upgrading packages regularly breaks things, and the packages all get installed under /usr/pkg/etc/ ... instead of just /etc/ and friends. [02:50] Smart phones are getting very fat nowadays. [02:50] All them Winblows developers umping to Android... [02:51] jumping [02:51] Heheh. [02:51] NetBSD ran really good on my Sun ;] [02:52] Then again, dependencies tend to break [02:52] I heard that Microsoft made a second attempt at a Windows phone a few years ago. When I first heard that my initial reaction was "oh, that's old news, they did that and failed miserably." Then I was informed that Microsoft had tried again and so I adjusted my reaction to "oh, so they failed again. [02:52] I guess that's not a surprise since I don't know a single person who uses a Windows phone; it's either iPhone or Android, plus a few uknown non-Windows phones from China that nobody here has ever heard of." [02:53] Dependencies ... I find that under Ubuntu Linux, this doesn't seem to be a problem at all. [02:53] Supposed to be one or two Linux phones in europe and one in china [02:53] And on some of my servers I'm using a lot of stuff like Apache, ModPerl, libapreq, ImageMagick, OpenVPN, pf (compiled into the kernel), Java, and a lot of other things. [02:54] Native code, not java [02:54] Is there a Ubuntu for SmartPhone OS option? I recall reading something about this a few years ago, but didn't look into it further. [02:54] i think its dead... [02:54] That's too bad. [02:55] aye [02:55] I think that from a marketing standpoint, Ubuntu is well-positioned for being the de facto Linux for smart phones. [02:55] Something about not being able to decide on the gui [02:55] It's just got such a wonderful reputation. [02:55] scoopes etc [02:55] Oh, crap. That war. [02:55] That sucks. [02:55] Hey, I have a very confusing question, I want to check what websites a process is calling, I have an application and it fetchs data from a server, is there away I can see the website path of the server the app is using to get the data from? [02:56] palayoub: I suppose you could use a proxy server and then log everything -- make sure your web browser uses that proxy server to access the internet. [02:56] or tcpdump [02:56] Oh, yeah. [02:56] That's probably a lot easier. [02:57] Although the output might be more difficult to parse. [02:57] ...with human eyes. [02:57] grep http:// [02:57] Aye. [02:58] hope that helps palayoub ? [02:58] dang gtg, nn, nice chat - ty [02:59] i'll try both solutions, ty it's very helpful [03:01] palayoub: The proxy server I'm thinking of is called Squid. [03:01] palayoub: I suggest you try WoC-'s suggestion first since it will be much easier to get going. [03:01] No extra configuration is needed for it. [03:04] yeah, i am trying to use WoC solution, tryin to install wireshark [03:04] the gui will make it easier for me i guess :p [03:10] WireShark? I believe WoC- mentioned "tcpdump" which should already be part of your OS? [03:14] Wirshark is a program that i used before to sniff on network flow, but accordin to discussion in linux channel, neither tcpdump or wireshark provide access to full url path, only domains are shown [03:15] Hmm. [03:15] I'm pretty sure that WireShark can decode packets. [03:15] HTTP should definitely be one type that it knows about. [03:15] Squid will actually log requests, so you'll get everything with it. But if you're already forging ahead with WireShark then just go with that and make sure it decodes the traffic for you. [03:17] yeah, but the problem is when it's https === vitor is now known as Guest67574 [03:24] hi === Nicmavr is now known as Guest87650 [03:45] is there anyone?

[07:47] I installed the 3.26 deb I found on the ubuntu website... how do I launch it? [07:47] dadabidet: we dont reccomend doing that [07:48] I know, but it's just for viewing XFA forms, for personal use [07:48] dadabidet, if install correctly; it should have replaced the existing package and is run normally... [07:48] dadabidet: you wills cramble your system mixing package versions like that [07:49] I opened the .deb and installed it through the GUI but it still launch the 3.18 [07:49] dadabidet: from terminal: snap find evince, there's a 3.28.2 [07:51] lotuspsychje, yes indeed there is a 3.28, but how do I launch that version of evince?

[07:53] dadabidet: another way for your issue is filing a new !bug to your current evince version, and describe you cant open XFA forms [07:54] lotuspsychje, 3.24 can open XFQ forms [07:54] sorry but I ran sudo snap install evince and it is still running evince 3.18 [07:55] dadabidet: after installing the snap, you need to launch the proper envince snap icon [07:55] dadabidet: not your older existing icon [07:56] I launched it though the ubuntu software app [07:56] dadabidet: works now? [07:56] what is the difference between snap and apt? [07:57] yes I launched it, but sadly it doesn't seem to display my document properly [07:57] dadabidet: snaps are secured packages from external maintainers, with more latest versions [07:57] dadabidet, apt is a front end that loads .deb's, snap installs snaps (container like apps) [07:58] dadabidet: seems like you will have to file a !bug afterall..

[11:00] linex: i have everything on the SSD because all my drives are SSDs :P [11:00] but your whole system on there, it won’t be a problem [11:01] linex: also please don't crosspost the same question in multiple channels at the same time. [11:02] should be fine. i have my whole system on my ssd except /home, which i have on a hdd because it has much more space [11:25] hola. tengo un problema con la hiberncaión en mint 18.3 . alguien puede orientarme? [11:27] !mint | eduardo_ [11:27] eduardo_: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [11:31] Thanks! I will test with that channel ;-) bye bye === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus === malasku is now known as perdent [11:51] Allie & linex, http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html tl;dr, not so much of an issue today for most users, depends on use case though for enterprise. === perdent is now known as malasku [11:52] A Powerfailure yesterday seems to have killed the response to the network cards.

[11:57] is it static or dhcp config? is the routing set up correctly? (ip route show) [11:58]
