[00:01] hehe [00:02] i realized this mistake all too soon [00:03] i guess there will be no ssh tunneling with this user [00:05] Bashing-om: did you know unmkinitramfs nad the current initrd file format? i learnt something new today during my PEBCAK session this afternoon [00:18] tomreyn: not in the leaast .. the term " unmkinitramfs ' is UNfamiliar :( [00:18] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/unmkinitramfs.8.html [00:19] Bashing-om: i didnt know it either, just wondered how to peek into an initramfs in 2018 binwalk to the rescue! https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MQ296gq7RQ/ [00:20] (or rather: since the past few years, where i never did) [00:21] there's not a huge trove of documentation on this format which every systemd based distro seems to use nowadays. [00:22] tomreyn: a new toy :) .. I had always done 'cpio' direct to extract the ramfs . [00:23] Bashing-om: so didi, and ended up with https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mbZKvWfMzz/ [00:23] *did i [00:24] 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] added to my notes on the to-do list :) [00:25] :) [00:26] 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 . [00:27] tomreyn: Also kinda procrastinating on doing UWN - can not seem to get in the frame of mind to do article summaries . [00:29] Bashing-om: thanks for following my chat there. is 18.10 different in terms of initrd?UWN = ubuntu weekly news? [00:32] 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 . [00:34] tomreyn: to tell the truth. last time I seriously looked at the kernel was the change from 10.04 to 12.04 . [00:36] hehe [00:36] time flies [00:41] 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 !

[11:14] i seen it once GUI [11:17] hmm seems like my bug about it dissapeared [11:20] !kernelcleanup [11:20] For information about removing old kernels to free up space on /boot, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels [11:52] Hiyas all [11:52] hey BluesKaj [11:53] support is ZZZzzzZZZ at the moment [11:54] Sat afternoon for the european shift :) [11:54] yeah [11:54] and sunny, and vacation, and grocerys [12:02] https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/banking-trojan-found-in-over-40-models-of-low-cost-android-smartphones/ [12:03] android is safe heh, what a joke [12:03] Hey lotuspsychje [12:04] i don't bank on my phone unless I feel safe on the network i'm using [12:04] think i did it once only a few weeks ago [12:07] to be fair, the problem is not really in android, it's in malicious vendors. [12:08] the lower the price of something, the higher the "price" of it :) [12:12] thats only what they know, im sure many other rootkits floating around unknown tru all kinds of mobile Oses [12:14] welcome revenant [12:15] 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? [12:16] you sure she didn't mean Apple/OSX/IOS? [12:17] (it's UNIX, you know, so maybe there's the confusion with (Ubuntu) Linux) [12:22] !debian | revenant [12:22] 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! [12:33] 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. [12:35] 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] 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. [12:38] 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] Debian supports "nonfree" repositories. [12:52] sometimes debian permissions can be a pita, but otherwise it's a top notch OS IMO [12:53] their support chat is populated by some really pedantic assh*les too [12:54] 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 :) [12:55] yeah, I like testing new Kubuntu dev releases [13:01] sometimes the NIH stuff like netplan can be a bit annoying :) [13:01] but Unity was awesomest thing. bestest DE out there. I have had sads that it's no longer officially supported. === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [19:23] hello all [19:26] 'elo [19:26] EriC^^: :) [19:27] :') [23:09] hi everyone
