|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | i realized this mistake all too soon | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | i guess there will be no ssh tunneling with this user | 00:03 |
| tomreyn | Bashing-om: did you know unmkinitramfs nad the current initrd file format? i learnt something new today during my PEBCAK session this afternoon | 00:05 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: not in the leaast .. the term " unmkinitramfs ' is UNfamiliar :( | 00:18 |
| tomreyn | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/unmkinitramfs.8.html | 00:18 |
| tomreyn | Bashing-om: i didnt know it either, just wondered how to peek into an initramfs in 2018 <tomreyn> binwalk to the rescue! https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MQ296gq7RQ/ | 00:19 |
| tomreyn | (or rather: since the past few years, where i never did) | 00:20 |
| tomreyn | there's not a huge trove of documentation on this format which every systemd based distro seems to use nowadays. | 00:21 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: a new toy :) .. I had always done 'cpio' direct to extract the ramfs . | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | Bashing-om: so didi, and ended up with https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mbZKvWfMzz/ | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | *did i | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | which made me think it was broken, since my desktop would not boot at the time, stopping after "Loading initrd". took me a while to realize it was this other issue. | 00:24 |
| Bashing-om | added to my notes on the to-do list :) | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | :) | 00:25 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: I had followed along with what you were doing .. but as I am booting 18.10, I did not feel I could add anything . | 00:26 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: Also kinda procrastinating on doing UWN - can not seem to get in the frame of mind to do article summaries . | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | Bashing-om: thanks for following my chat there. is 18.10 different in terms of initrd?UWN = ubuntu weekly news? | 00:29 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: can not say what may have changed in the cosmic kernel space as I have yet to look and see . // Yes, UWN us Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter . Got to get hot on it if it is to meet the Monday deadline . | 00:32 |
| Bashing-om | tomreyn: to tell the truth. last time I seriously looked at the kernel was the change from 10.04 to 12.04 . | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | hehe | 00:36 |
| tomreyn | time flies | 00:36 |
| Bashing-om | Time - Tell me ! .. Can not believe tghe time lapse since I was *forced* to relinguish 10.04 .. it is now 18.10 time . A lot of support time ! | 00:41 |

| lotuspsychje | any of you guys saw automatic kernel cleanup in update-manager yet? | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | i seen it once GUI | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm seems like my bug about it dissapeared | 11:17 |

| lotuspsychje | hey BluesKaj | 11:52 |
| lotuspsychje | support is ZZZzzzZZZ at the moment | 11:53 |

| BluesKaj | Hey lotuspsychje | 12:03 |
| BluesKaj | i don't bank on my phone unless I feel safe on the network i'm using | 12:04 |
| BluesKaj | think i did it once only a few weeks ago | 12:04 |
| blackflow | to be fair, the problem is not really in android, it's in malicious vendors. | 12:07 |
| blackflow | the lower the price of something, the higher the "price" of it :) | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | thats only what they know, im sure many other rootkits floating around unknown tru all kinds of mobile Oses | 12:12 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome revenant | 12:14 |
| revenant | Hello world. I've got a friend claiming Ubuntu's full of proprietary awfulness and lots of restrictions, but I've never seen any restrictions. Does anyone see practical differences between Ubuntu and Debian? | 12:15 |
| blackflow | you sure she didn't mean Apple/OSX/IOS? | 12:16 |
| blackflow | (it's UNIX, you know, so maybe there's the confusion with (Ubuntu) Linux) | 12:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !debian | revenant | 12:22 |
| ubot5 | revenant: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/ubuntu-and-debian - !Repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 12:22 |
| revenant | blackflow - she definitely didn't mean Apple. She's just pretty extreme about the FOSS stuff. I wonder how much truth there is to it, because the only thing I have trouble modifying is the Gnome terminal, nothing to do with Ubuntu. | 12:33 |
| blackflow | revenant: there's no truth to it. Ubuntu _may_ be opinionated on how certain things are pre-set, but it's all open and GPL compliant (and compliant to any other license some software might come with, in official Ubuntu repositories). | 12:35 |
| blackflow | on the other side of the spectrum, it is not strict wrt Libre software, and thus it support installation of non-libre software, like nvidia proprietary drivers, for example. | 12:35 |
| revenant | blackflow: that's been my experience. I've seen some nice things about the Debian repositories, but Ubuntu seems more up to date, and I wonder if installing drivers for my NVidia graphics card would be difficult under Debian. | 12:38 |
| blackflow | Debian supports "nonfree" repositories. | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | sometimes debian permissions can be a pita, but otherwise it's a top notch OS IMO | 12:52 |
| BluesKaj | their support chat is populated by some really pedantic assh*les too | 12:53 |
| blackflow | it's a quality OS, no doubt about it. personally I prefer the better hardware and software support, and the whole release model of Ubuntu, esp. LTS + 6-month dev versions inbetween for some new software love affair :) | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I like testing new Kubuntu dev releases | 12:55 |
| blackflow | sometimes the NIH stuff like netplan can be a bit annoying :) | 13:01 |
| blackflow | but Unity was awesomest thing. bestest DE out there. I have had sads that it's no longer officially supported. | 13:01 |
