| CarlFK | what is the elegant way to disable a systemd service? | 00:51 |
| CarlFK | permanently, so it won't come back on reboot. | 00:52 |
| CarlFK | but I would like to be able to re-enable it later. | 00:52 |
| sonicwind | mask it... systemctl mask | 00:52 |
| sonicwind | if you want something more than systemctl disable that is | 00:52 |
| CarlFK | systemctl disable sounds like what I want | 00:53 |
| sonicwind | unmask to unmask it | 00:53 |
| sonicwind | with disable, there are ways it can be reenabled.... mask takes care of that | 00:54 |
| sonicwind | mask won't let anything start it until you've unmasked it | 00:55 |
| oerheks | disable is valid, for this session. | 00:56 |
| oerheks | now do as sonicwind suggests | 00:56 |
| CarlFK | i just dont' want it running on boot | 00:57 |
| oerheks | destroy the service unit file :-D | 01:01 |

| mrproper | I am trying to install Ubuntu over a CentOS install. However, the Ubuntu installer is saying it can’t overwrite the partition since it’s LVM based. How can I wipe the entire drive array and start over? | 01:09 |
| UserUS | mrproper, reformat the partitions | 01:12 |
| UserUS | or delete them all together | 01:12 |
| mrproper | UserUS: How? The installer is giving me the error and not letting me delete them. | 01:12 |
| UserUS | mrproper, when you boot, choose the try ubuntu option | 01:13 |
| mrproper | UserUS: Oh and use the partition tool in that instead of in the installer? | 01:13 |
| UserUS | mrproper, yeah, just delete them and then you can install in the same session | 01:13 |
| mrproper | UserUS: Very cool. Does that require a mouse? | 01:13 |
| UserUS | mrproper, well, I guess technically no, because ubuntu shows you all the key shortcuts when it boots | 01:14 |
| mrproper | UserUS: I’m installing it on a server which I don’t have a mouse connected to. So I’ll need to dig up a wired mouse, which may not be easy. | 01:14 |
| mrproper | I’m going to try it without a mouse. Thank you. | 01:16 |
| xjkx | I set thunar as my default file browser. and it always comes up when I start gnome, why ? | 01:18 |
| UserUS | xjkx, it's probably a startup program | 01:18 |

| Gr33ntea_ | Hello I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Lenovo Y530. I can get it to boot into the live cd. And everything works fine for like 3 seconds, after that all keyboard input stops working. Mouse buttons stop working as well. However I can move the mouse. And thats literally all i can do. Any tips? | 01:58 |
| Gr33ntea_ | Also i forgot to note im trying to install 18.04 | 02:00 |
| pitsnap | Gr33ntea: just a suggestion.. did you try with usb keyboard? | 02:02 |
| Gr33ntea_ | Unfortunately do not have one D:, out of curiosity why would that help? | 02:02 |
| Bashing-om | Gr33ntea_: try to install with out and internet connecion " here has been some issues recently with updating during install " : https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396050 . | 02:03 |
| Gr33ntea_ | I don't think that is the problem as i can't even get that far into the installation. | 02:04 |
| Gr33ntea_ | it hangs almost immediately (usually 3 seconds in) | 02:05 |
| Gr33ntea_ | at which point i can no longer right click or left click, and i also cant type anything | 02:05 |
| pitsnap | I had issues once with my bay-trail laptop.. and had to use USB keyboard to install Ubuntu | 02:05 |
| Gr33ntea_ | pitsnap: and after tht the regular keyboard worked fine? | 02:05 |
| pitsnap | yes, installed ubuntu... after reboot.. had to apt-get update/upgrade | 02:06 |
| pitsnap | and disconnected my usb keyboard, and everything worked.. | 02:06 |
| Gr33ntea_ | Okay I will try and borrow one, and see if it works out. Thank you friend :) | 02:07 |

| chirrups | I have 64 mixed size hard drives all addressible in a storage shelf connected to a sserver running ubuntu 16.04 lts. I need to format (Not zero, just wiping the partition table would be fine) I've looked around a lot and I just seriously can't get a good idea the best way to do it. | 02:16 |
| pitsnap | chirrups: try using gparted or GNOME disks application | 02:19 |
| chirrups | pitsnap, I plan on bringing these things into a LVM group. they're all mixed use, crazy different partitions and sizes | 02:19 |
| chirrups | gparted .ect is great for wiping the partition on one disk | 02:20 |
| chirrups | there's no fxxing way I am typing all of those commands per disk | 02:20 |
| pitsnap | if you do not have GUI/Desktop access .. for console/term using fdisk | 02:20 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: then script it | 02:20 |
| chirrups | Therein lies the problem | 02:21 |
| chirrups | I'm a linux noob | 02:21 |
| chirrups | I could whip this together in powershell with like 50 characters | 02:21 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: use gdisk and a for loop run through some regex version of lsblk | 02:21 |
| chirrups | Ok | 02:21 |
| chirrups | that I can do | 02:21 |
| pitsnap | use dd command and script it | 02:21 |
| chirrups | ^ I don't want to zero them | 02:21 |
| leftyfb | pitsnap: dd won't format | 02:21 |
| chirrups | They're used | 02:21 |
| pitsnap | dd will overwrite hdds.. | 02:21 |
| leftyfb | pitsnap: dd won't format | 02:22 |
| chirrups | Right I am risking bringing these things into a JBOD as it is | 02:22 |
| chirrups | to be clear | 02:22 |
| chirrups | I"m not here looking for someone to provide me a script | 02:22 |
| chirrups | Just guidance | 02:22 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: I think I gave you a good place to start | 02:23 |
| chirrups | Well you did, I should be able to do some kind of easy loop | 02:23 |
| chirrups | That's what I'd do in powershell | 02:23 |
| chirrups | I need to express that I know legit fucking nothing | 02:23 |
| chirrups | about linux | 02:24 |
| chirrups | Like I have no idea what I'd even look for | 02:24 |
| chirrups | "Linux scripting syntax" is like the closest I can get | 02:24 |
| chirrups | I't like bash or something right? | 02:24 |
| leftyfb | !language | chirrups | 02:24 |
| ubottu | chirrups: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 02:24 |
| chirrups | Sorry bout' that | 02:25 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: yes, you could use bash | 02:25 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: start with manually formatting A drive using gdisk on the CLI (not the gdisk interface) | 02:25 |
| chirrups | I mean there's not something that can take an input of a CSV file or something | 02:26 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: Once you got that scripted, then look at lsblk and figure out how to use awk/sed/grep/etc to pull out only the drives you're concerned with | 02:26 |
| chirrups | https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-disk-scrubbing-program-for-cloud/ | 02:26 |
| leftyfb | there is | 02:26 |
| chirrups | I could zero them with that | 02:26 |
| chirrups | okay a thing I neglected to mention | 02:27 |
| chirrups | I'm terminal | 02:27 |
| chirrups | I installed multipathing | 02:27 |
| chirrups | They're netapp shelves | 02:27 |
| chirrups | I can only get the drivers for the HBA working in linux | 02:27 |
| chirrups | So like I lsblk and I get ~1500 lines | 02:27 |
| chirrups | I've got a list of the direct SDA's | 02:28 |
| chirrups | Cleaned it up through putty logging | 02:28 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: you can also try #bash | 02:28 |
| chirrups | I can throw a CSV at something, I could do a loop from A - B | 02:28 |
| chirrups | I'm looing at bash right noe | 02:28 |
| leftyfb | chirrups: #bash, the IRC channel | 02:28 |
| chirrups | ohohohoh Yeah I mean I just was hoping someone would be like "Bippity boppity boop I use xydjshf the BEST formatter just google it" | 02:29 |
| chirrups | I can grind on a script tonight | 02:29 |
| chirrups | For sure | 02:29 |
| chirrups | like I get how scripting work ~in general~ | 02:30 |
| chirrups | just don't know how to do anything with bash(or shell scripts as I'm learning) | 02:30 |
| pitsnap | try this | 02:30 |
| pitsnap | wipefs -a /dev/sda | 02:30 |
| chirrups | ::hug:: | 02:31 |
| pitsnap | removes / deletes the partition table signature ... | 02:31 |
| chirrups | legit can do the rest | 02:31 |
| chirrups | yeah I this is exactly what I need | 02:31 |
| chirrups | I can run with this | 02:31 |
| chirrups | The rest from LVM up to SCSI\LVG whatever I can figure out | 02:31 |
| chirrups | I just couldn't find an easy way to wipe these things ala quickformat in order to start | 02:32 |
| chirrups | I imagine along my journey I'm going to get this shell script thing figured out | 02:32 |

| Guest92832 | ok, thanks! lotuspsychje | 04:14 |
| speedy01 | i thought i would check here, as googling hasn't turned up much | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | speedy01: to get the best support, its best specific issue to the channel, whats happening, details, etc so volunteers can try to help | 04:14 |
| lotuspsychje | *to ask | 04:14 |
| speedy01 | im very new to linux...so I'll start there! I'm trying to run vmware play on a fairly fresh install of ubuntu 18.04. downloaded and install all the dependancies..and followed vmware install guide... | 04:15 |
| speedy01 | problem is, the application doesn't save any of my preference, nor load any vm I try to create. I downloaded and install the trial of workstation...and it seems to work as it should... | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | speedy01: we dont really support external ppa's, best to contact the maintainer, or install packages from the official ubuntu repos | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | speedy01: alternate to vmware, you could try 'virtualbox' | 04:16 |
| speedy01 | sounds mostlylike an issue with vmware..but wanted to ask if anyone had the same problem before going down the rabbit hole of vmware support | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | speedy01: there is also a #vmware channel if you like | 04:17 |
| speedy01 | lotuspsychje: yes..that will probably be my next try...im just familar with vmware and wanted to give it a go...anyways..I'll jump over there and see what they have to say.. | 04:18 |
| lotuspsychje | speedy01: the reason why we dont advice external ppa's is because they can scramble your system and make a mess with dependecys | 04:19 |
| speedy01 | lotuspsychje: no worries...i totally understand! im sure I'll have more specific ubuntu quetsions as the days go on...this is my first go at linux as my primary desktop | 04:21 |

| jk^ | "It occurs an error while updating" | 04:40 |

| lotuspsychje | qwebirc71632: gnome is already default on 18.04, why are you installing gnome? | 04:52 |
| qwebirc71632 | i didn't know gnome is default, neither i can see how to activate desktop. i wanted to have full graphical desktop as default desktop when server is booted-up | 04:53 |

| Gr33ntea_ | Hello friends, I was here earlier about needing help installing Ubuntu. Currently I am able to boot into the live cd, but after 3 seconds my ability to click mouse buttons, or type is completely gone. However my ability to move my mouse still works. I was recommended to try and attempt an install using an external keyboard and mouse, however these devices also do not work. I am trying to install this on a lenovo y530 | 05:06 |
| Gr33ntea_ | Also I should mention it is the new Y530, and not the one released a couple years back. | 05:07 |
| Jedee | if i delete the boot partition with flags on my old hdd, will it stop booting, and use the ssd? | 05:09 |

| masber | good afternoon, is this the best way to upgrade ubuntu server? https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html.en | 06:53 |
| oerheks | masber, yes, but do read the releasenotes | 06:57 |
| oerheks | !releasenotes | 06:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes | 06:57 |
| masber | why am I getting this message? Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found. | 07:09 |
| masber | I am running 16.04 | 07:10 |
| masber | mmm... release ntos says Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after 18.04.1's release expected in late July. Does it means I can't upgrade just yet? | 07:11 |
| masber | why is that? | 07:11 |
| oerheks | go into the menu updates, set it to LTS, and run updates again | 07:11 |
| oerheks | oh wait, yes, 18.04.1 triggers he upgrade, first bugs are fixed | 07:12 |
| oerheks | this will happen in august, | 07:12 |
| oerheks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule | 07:12 |
| masber | oerheks: I don't understand why I can't upgrade to 18.04 | 07:14 |
| masber | the docs does not give any reason | 07:14 |
| confluency | masber: you can force the upgrade if you want to. It won't become available by default until the .1 release. | 07:15 |
| oerheks | it is LTS, and we guarantee it is stable | 07:16 |
| oerheks | so that is why 18..04.1 triggers the upgrade | 07:16 |
| masber | oerheks: ok, so you are saying that 18.04.1 is stable but 18.04 isn't is that right? | 07:18 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| confluency | masber: 18.04 isn't "unstable". Everything is relative. | 07:19 |
| confluency | masber: waiting for 18.04.1 is considered a sensible extra step for some extra stability. | 07:20 |
| senaps | hi all, what is ubuntu 18.04 installer dialogue? does it have any python wrappers? | 07:20 |
| masber | ok, so how can I force the upgrade? | 07:21 |
| confluency | masber: pass the -d flag to do-release-upgrade. | 07:21 |
| ikonia | errr no | 07:21 |
| ikonia | -d is a development version | 07:21 |
| masber | -d flag is development | 07:21 |
| confluency | Right now, doing that upgardes to bionic. | 07:22 |
| ikonia | you shouldn't use -d unless you understand it | 07:22 |
| confluency | I just did that, two days ago. | 07:22 |
| masber | yes Idon't want to use development | 07:22 |
| masber | whaat about -p? | 07:22 |
| masber | it says proposed | 07:22 |
| confluency | Using -d on a 16.04 system causes an upgrade to bionic. | 07:22 |
| ikonia | confluency: do you know that today ? | 07:22 |
| confluency | I know that happened literally two days ago when I did it. | 07:23 |
| ikonia | confluency: two days ago is not today | 07:23 |
| ikonia | cosmic has moved on -d can take you to cosmic | 07:23 |
| ikonia | so again -d shouldn't be use unless you WANT a development version | 07:23 |
| ikonia | and again - only if you know what you are doing | 07:23 |
| ikonia | please don't suggest -d | 07:23 |
| masber | ikonia, is there anything I can do to upgrade my 16.04 to a supported version? | 07:26 |
| confluency | masber: 16.04 *is* supported. | 07:26 |
| ikonia | masber: 16.04 is still in support as confluency states, the official upgrade process starts at 18.04.1 as with the other releases. | 07:27 |
| ikonia | I think there is a note about it on the upgrade page that normally states the .1 release is the trigger | 07:27 |
| masber | ah ok, I see | 07:28 |
| masber | so they release the XX.04 LTS first and then the XX.04.1 with the fixes and that is the official one people should upgrade | 07:28 |
| === ChipMonk is now known as ChipM0nk | ||
| confluency | The official dicumentation has instructions to use -d on an LTS system to force the LTS-to-LTS upgrade early: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html | 07:28 |
| masber | so XX.04.1 is more stable | 07:28 |
| confluency | This is consistent with multiple other sources that I've found. | 07:29 |
| confluency | If this is incorrect, is there a more detailed source of information describing the behaviour of -d on an LTS and non-LTS system? | 07:29 |
| ikonia | it's not incorrect, it will technically work as long as the development version has not been flagged as available | 07:30 |
| ikonia | hence why it should not be blindly used | 07:30 |
| confluency | I wasn't suggesting using it "blindly"; it is my understanding that until the .1 release using it will cause an upgrade to 18.04. | 07:30 |
| ikonia | masber: .1 allows enough time for all the upgrade testing and fixes to be in for a stable upgrade for the majority | 07:31 |
| ikonia | confluency: it's not always until the .1 release | 07:31 |
| confluency | Is there documentation explaining what determines this? | 07:31 |
| ikonia | confluency: it's a meta tag in the release file | 07:31 |
| ikonia | what triggers the change in that meta tag, I don't know | 07:32 |

| Grievre | So I've noticed an annoying behavior of 16.04 LTS's default install: If you installed with full disk encryption, it installs security updates daily but never autoremoves, so /boot will fill up eventually | 08:52 |
| Grievre | (a matter of like a few weeks to 2-3 months in my experience so far) | 08:53 |
| Grievre | Is there a box I can check that makes it remove old kernels or do I just need to make a root cron job to run apt -y autoremove? | 08:53 |
| ppf | you can enable autoremove in apt unattended-upgrades | 08:53 |

| EriC^^ | genos: that's what tail -f does | 09:09 |
| EriC^^ | genos: how are you writing to the file? | 09:09 |

| Catalysm | Hi there, i'm trying to troubleshoot a cron job. From the logs it looks like it is running, I try and send error output to a file but that error file is empty. From syslog: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/d2cYcMWhrs/ | 09:33 |
| Catalysm | Running the script directly works, I tried logging env output but same issue, it looks like the job runs from syslog but it's not outputting anything | 09:34 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: 0> 1> ? did you mean 1> and 2> ? | 09:34 |
| Catalysm | Oh right, I did 1> 2> aswell. 0> 1> was something I tried while debugging | 09:35 |
| Catalysm | Pasted wrong logline, my bad :p | 09:35 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: if it doesn't produce long lines, run it without any redirection. cron should mail you any output. also, what's with that MTA error | 09:36 |
| blackflow | s/long lines/significant output unsuitable for mailing as text/ | 09:36 |
| Catalysm | No clue what that MTA error is :/ I didn't really touch any mail stuff on that server | 09:37 |
| blackflow | might need to set MAILTO=<your adddr> in the crontab, unless you alias root: to an external address (or check root's mail) | 09:37 |
| Catalysm | Alright let me try messing with the mailing stuff | 09:37 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: start by checking root's mail | 09:37 |
| blackflow | `sudo mail` | 09:37 |
| Catalysm | No mail on root or postgres user | 09:38 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: oh... whose is the crontab? | 09:38 |
| Catalysm | postgres user | 09:38 |
| Catalysm | I'm trying to automatically backup a database | 09:39 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: but why run as postgres? | 09:39 |
| Catalysm | Good point lemme switch it out | 09:39 |
| blackflow | anyway, I'd look into that MTA error as if cron wasn't able to mail out error output. also try that crontab without redirection see if cron mails you anything | 09:39 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: I'm guessing you're just doing the dump? or is PITR involved? | 09:39 |
| Catalysm | yep, just a psql dump_all | 09:40 |
| blackflow | Catalysm: I wouldn't use postgres user for that. either root or create a dedicated system user with postgres' "superuser" privilege | 09:41 |
| EriC^ | x | 09:42 |
| Catalysm | Ahh okay, it ran as root now. Same issues, didn't look like it did anything | 09:42 |
| Catalysm | Same MTA error | 09:42 |
| blackflow | but for starters, I'd test all this as root, to eliminate permission issues at first. | 09:42 |
| EriC^ | Catalysm: make the command > /home/postgres/bkup.err 2>&1 | 09:42 |
| EriC^ | 0> is stdin 1> is stdout 2> is stderr | 09:42 |
| blackflow | EriC^: they did, read on :) | 09:42 |
| blackflow | 2>&1 is not what they want | 09:42 |
| EriC^ | i got d/c | 09:42 |
| EriC^ | why's that? | 09:43 |
| blackflow | because they want to log stderr and devnull stout, according to that pastebin | 09:43 |
| EriC^ | yes and what is 1> you think? | 09:43 |
| EriC^ | that's stdout not stderr | 09:43 |
| blackflow | yes, and they DON'T want to log stdout :) | 09:44 |
| blackflow | like I said. | 09:44 |
| EriC^ | blackflow: ok.. | 09:44 |
| EriC^ | Catalysm: make the command 2> /home/postgress/bkup.err | 09:44 |
| EriC^ | might as well log the stdout since some programs aren't that well behaved in that respect, but whatever :D | 09:45 |
| blackflow | EriC^: except this is in cron so cron will mail all that | 09:45 |
| Catalysm | Alright I'll try thanks for helping :d | 09:45 |
| blackflow | let's not change the orig intention and find out why it's not logging. | 09:45 |
| EriC^ | blackflow: no harm in using and understanding these stuff right? | 09:46 |
| blackflow | EriC^: sure, but it's TMI at the moment, first things first ;) | 09:46 |
| EriC^ | i think his orig intention was to log the stderr :) | 09:46 |
| blackflow | yup, and devnull stdout | 09:46 |
| blackflow | which would shutup cron's attempt to mail stuff. but eh... that MTA error though... I'd investigate that first. | 09:47 |
| EriC^ | ok as i said use 2> if you want to log the stderr Catalysm not 1> | 09:47 |

| Catalysm | Don't really know why that's not logging though | 09:48 |
| EriC^ | qwebirc28590: the sources are wrong | 09:48 |

| blackflow | the idea being to see if cron will mail you stuff (which it should if there's output | 09:49 |

| Catalysm | Oh yeah I did that, is what I meant. MTA error still happened though | 09:49 |

| ChipM0nk | quick question, I have Ubuntu 18.04... I have a wireless keyboard and mouse... every so often my keyboard freezes and doesn't respond to any touches on the keyboard. I have to manually turn it off/on and sometimes unplug the wireless receiver. anyway, is there a setting that could be causing this? it's fine on Windows 10.....? | 10:49 |
| lotuspsychje | ChipM0nk: wireless over bluetooth? | 10:50 |
| abdulhakeem_ | in Ubuntu Server, I try to edit my user's .bashrc and make an alias for ls to have the -l flag by default, but it doesn't work. All my other aliases seem to work except for that one specifically | 10:51 |
| ChipM0nk1 | sorry lotuspsychje my bnc d/c | 10:51 |
| abdulhakeem_ | alias ls='ls -l ' | 10:52 |
| abdulhakeem_ | but when I source .bashrc and do an ls, it doesn't work its just ls with no flags, instead of ls -l by default like I want | 10:52 |
| ChipM0nk | lotuspsychje, it's a mk345 wireless keyboard and mouse. | 10:53 |
| Shabbysheik | abdulhakeem_: have you tried just L... as in alias l="ls -l" | 10:53 |
| deem | abdulhakeem_: are you sure it doesn't get overwritten later in .bashrc? | 10:53 |
| abdulhakeem_ | deem: o good point hadn't thought of that | 10:54 |
| abdulhakeem_ | Shabbysheik: I can try that too | 10:54 |
| abdulhakeem_ | deem: o yep that's the problem. I guess it helps to read the ENTIRE file lol | 10:55 |
| lotuspsychje | ChipM0nk: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and disconnect and reconnect keyboard & mouse again, see what kind of errors you getiing | 10:55 |
| abdulhakeem_ | thanks | 10:56 |
| BluesKaj | or use bash_aliases instead of bashrc | 10:56 |
| sweb | problem solved seems be for dns. i switch 8.8.8.8 instead of 4.2.2.4 problem solved 0_o | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | sweb | 10:57 |
| ubottu | sweb: Glad you made it! :-) | 10:57 |
| ChipM0nk | I also looked on Google and others are having issues too lotuspsychje so I plugged it in the front of my PC and it seems better now. time will tell. xD thanks! | 10:59 |

| Industrial | How do I upgrade my ubuntu to the latest version? I dont cAre about LTS I just want the latest one | 11:02 |
| Industrial | sudo apt dist-upgrade does nothing | 11:02 |
| Industrial | UI am running 16.04 | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | !ltsupgrade | Industrial | 11:03 |
| ubottu | Industrial: Upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release expected in late July. | 11:03 |
| Industrial | so anything in between? | 11:03 |
| Industrial | 17 antything? | 11:03 |
| lotuspsychje | Industrial: wait till the end of the month? | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Industrial: or clean install 18.04 now if you cant wait | 11:04 |
| === linuxer is now known as Guest52103 | ||
| Industrial | What's LTS about anyway? Can't it just always work for everyone when you enter a command "upgrade to the latest version" ? Like why does it have to be in these cycles? Can't it just always upgrade all software to their latest versions? WHy is the whole OS versioned? What am I missing? | 11:05 |
| confluency | It's possible to force an upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 now. | 11:06 |
| confluency | Industrial: LTS exists because not everyone has the same requirements. | 11:06 |
| Industrial | is it because people fear touching their PC and fear breakage with change? | 11:06 |
| confluency | Some people want an extremely stable system which doesn't need new versions of the software, | 11:07 |
| confluency | They don't want to risk the slight instability that comes with bumping all the versions regularly. | 11:07 |
| confluency | That slight instability can be a major problem on critical infrastructure. | 11:08 |
| confluency | I run the latest release on my home laptop, and LTS on my work laptop. | 11:08 |
| Industrial | I have a backup laptop :/ problem solved | 11:08 |
| === bagih is now known as udin | ||
| confluency | Businesses don't have backup servers just lying around, and there is a cost to switching. | 11:09 |
| udin | hello | 11:09 |
| confluency | Not everyone has the same requirements and constraints as you. | 11:09 |
| Industrial | right so, then they just should turn off "Auto" updating :p | 11:09 |
| confluency | What does that mean? | 11:09 |
| udin | hello guys | 11:10 |
| confluency | LTS isn't just about frequency of updating; it's also about duration of support. | 11:10 |
| Industrial | that I'd want my system to just do the upgrade without even asking me when a software package upgrades on the repo | 11:10 |
| blackflow | Industrial: you don't want that. | 11:10 |
| confluency | The entire point of LTS is that the LTS release is supported and maintained for an extended period of time. | 11:10 |
| Industrial | I'm going to look into archlinux now. | 11:10 |
| Shabbysheik | Industrial: that works for you, but business, research and academia have very different requirements. If you want to update now just do sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 11:10 |
| confluency | Enjoy. | 11:10 |
| confluency | You're mad that people with different needs have different options, and that your system doesn't upgrade stuff without asking you? | 11:11 |
| Shabbysheik | sigh... its like hitting your head on a brick wall some days | 11:11 |
| blackflow | <three weeks later> BAWWW! My rolling release unconditional, unsupervised auto-upgrade borked everything! | 11:11 |
| Shabbysheik | lol, exactly blackflow | 11:12 |
| ppf | i mean, you can enable unattended upgrades | 11:12 |
| blackflow | which you shouldn't on critical systems, really. | 11:12 |
| ppf | i'd say it should be a gradual decision but i get the point, yeah | 11:13 |
| blackflow | unfortunately the dream of totally unsupervised, auto-updating, stable system is stil just a dream. maybe one day when AIs take over everything from software development through maintenance :) | 11:14 |
| confluency | Earlier someone objected when I suggested -d. Surely there is a separate list of development releases for LTS and non-LTS, and -d on an LTS-to-LTS system will never pick Cosmic? | 11:14 |
| pulsar12 | blackflow, do you think that is possible? i believe yes | 11:15 |

| hadifarnoud | do you know how can I fix my ipv6 'deprecated' issue? | 11:20 |
| hadifarnoud | https://gist.github.com/hadifarnoud/4e5e3d1d2f977de2a337e43382ed726a | 11:20 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: what do you mean? | 11:22 |
| hadifarnoud | I can't connect to my ipv6 from another machine with ipv6 setup | 11:22 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: that's hetzner right? are you sure about the fe80::1%eth0? I think you only need fe80::1 | 11:24 |
| hadifarnoud | yes blackflow. it says in dashboard that my ip is 2a01:4f8:1c17:5d80::1/64 | 11:25 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: do you even need those pre-up and pre-down route rules? I doubt that. anway, is there firewall involved? are you blocking icmpv6 | 11:25 |
| hadifarnoud | it was there by default. not sure what it does | 11:26 |
| hadifarnoud | no firewall. ufw is disabled | 11:27 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: by default? you mean by hetzners official ubuntu installation image? if so, you should open a ticket and tell them ipv6 is not woring on their official images. | 11:27 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: hetzner also has HW firewall. check that as well in your robot interface | 11:27 |
| hadifarnoud | blackflow: I did ask them. they gave me a config that screwed up the networking. hence me asking here | 11:27 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: that eth0:0 stanza looks totally wrong | 11:28 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: first things first. which ubuntu is this? 16.04? | 11:28 |
| hadifarnoud | what does eth0:0 even mean? | 11:28 |
| ppf | is there a way to download a package from a repo? | 11:28 |
| hadifarnoud | @blackflow: I basically have two IPv4 and one IPv6. | 11:29 |
| hadifarnoud | how do I set the interfaces? | 11:29 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: which ubuntu | 11:30 |
| hadifarnoud | 16.04 | 11:30 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: you have one "iface eth0 inet static" stanza, with "address" and "gateway", for each IPv4 | 11:32 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: btw, is it eth0 or predictable naming? I don't use hetzner's official images and I don't know how they set it up | 11:32 |
| hadifarnoud | don't know what you mean by predictable | 11:32 |
| hadifarnoud | it's always eth0 I assume | 11:33 |
| blackflow | why are you running a public server that can harm others on the internet, if you don't know these things.... | 11:33 |
| blackflow | also, why are you using Hetzner. They are _very much_ unmanaged and will refuse any help with configuration and setup. you're exected to know how to do all this yourself. Maybe Hetzner is not the best provider for you then. | 11:34 |
| blackflow | *expected | 11:34 |
| hadifarnoud | because they are cheap and we need a lot of VPS | 11:34 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: you're setting yourself for failure then. | 11:34 |
| blackflow | these are all beneficial advices btw. Hetzner is NOT of users who do not know how to maintain their servers. | 11:35 |
| hadifarnoud | doesn't have the luxury of using managed service like Rackspace | 11:35 |
| blackflow | you will get flagged and shut down by their automated checks if you misconfigure. it'll happen on a friday and you'll be down until monday until you explain yourself to them. | 11:35 |
| hadifarnoud | I pretty much know how to maintain them. been doing it for two years. not a DevOps but I manage | 11:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ppf: apt download or something? | 11:36 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: okay then, so "predictable" naming comes with systemd as of 15.04. depending on the configuration, it is etierh that (default) or reverted to old ethX naming. | 11:36 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: so first thing, is to know which is it. if you can ssh to that machine, `ip addr show` will tell you | 11:36 |
| hadifarnoud | it's default | 11:37 |
| hadifarnoud | eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 | 11:37 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: second, for multiple IPv4 addresses, have multiple iface stanzas. for ipv6, I _think_ you don't need %eth0 for fe80::1 gateway, and those up/down trigger rules seem all wrong, esp. if they set ipv4 from inet6 stanza. | 11:38 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: at any rate, when using `ip` you don't need it. can't remember for ifconfig. | 11:39 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: third, order yourself a KVM (LARA) incase you lock yourself out with broken network config, have it in standby. it's free for 2 hours, so make sure you set up all you need in that windo, or you'll have to pay for extra time. | 11:40 |
| === GwaiLo_ is now known as GwaiLo | ||
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: and this is more suitable for #ubuntu-server btw ;) | 11:40 |
| hadifarnoud | did the third already. messed up once and fixed it | 11:40 |
| hadifarnoud | is there any way I can test the config before restarting networking? | 11:41 |
| Haris | hello all | 11:42 |
| Haris | how to get php pthreads mod with php5 on 14.04 lts ? | 11:42 |
| blackflow | hadifarnoud: not really, unless you first configure with `ip` and then convert that to permanent stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces | 11:42 |
| hadifarnoud | in that case, let me write the config and show you first @blackflow | 11:43 |

| ghist | hi, after installing the plasma-desktop package the kde desktop didnt work - there was no panel and the apps were black | 12:34 |
| ghist | and after installing kubuntu Alt+1 didnt work either and the scrolling didn't work with the mouse | 12:34 |
| ghist | why do the maintainers release broken packages and configurations in the ubuntu main repositories? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | pretty sure they don't release broken packages with any intention | 12:37 |
| MysticReverie | I found officla ubuntu apps usually sem to work. shame your having problems. maybe someone here can help | 12:37 |
| ikonia | have you actually confirmed it' broken | 12:37 |
| ioria | ghist, did you install plasma-desktop from ubuntu repo ? did you get some errors ? what version of uubntu ? | 12:38 |
| ghist | I installed plasma-desktop on regular ubuntu 18.04 - and the state of kde was terrible | 12:39 |
| ikonia | ghist: kde being terrible is not a broken package | 12:39 |
| ghist | either the package or the configuration is terrible - but kde not having a working default configuration is also a huge problem | 12:40 |
| ikonia | a.) what repo did it come from b.) thats a meta package, so what package is "broken" c.) have you confirmed the package is broken | 12:40 |
| ghist | your questions are useless | 12:40 |
| ikonia | my questions are important | 12:40 |
| ghist | it's the plasma-desktop package from the ubuntu repo - that's it | 12:40 |
| ghist | nothing to confirm | 12:40 |
| ikonia | that's a meta package | 12:40 |
| ikonia | it references many packages | 12:40 |
| ghist | and? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | so which package is "broken" and have you confirmed they are actually broken | 12:41 |
| MysticReverie | It worked, shaved off 5 - 10 seconds of boot time. Thanks very much | 12:41 |
| ghist | the plasma-desktop "meta" package is broken | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ghist: in what way is it broken ? | 12:41 |
| ghist | see my first comment | 12:41 |
| ikonia | does it miss packages out ? does it error ? | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ghist: no, you have said nothing about a broken package | 12:41 |
| ghist | ikonia: "hi, after installing the plasma-desktop package the kde desktop didnt work - there was no panel and the apps were black" | 12:42 |
| ghist | ^that's the definition of broken | 12:42 |
| ioria | ghist, let's open a console , stop your dm, and sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubutu-desktop kde-* || sudo apt-get install -f | 12:42 |
| blackflow | ghist: but which package, that's what ikonia is asking. the metapackage doesn't have any such "panel" and "scrolling" functionality in itself, to be broken. | 12:42 |
| FatNight | hi, I hope all is well , I have problem with python2.7 pip at ubuntu16 , this bug postem in many website but without fixing the problem, the bug is the pip crashed when you run it ,, | 12:43 |
| ghist | the meta package contains the kde panel, and the scrolling issue was in the kubuntu distribution | 12:43 |
| ikonia | ghist: that doesn't mean that's a broken package | 12:43 |
| blackflow | iow, you have to try and identify where exactly is the problem occurring. | 12:43 |
| ghist | nope it's broken because it doesn't work | 12:43 |
| ikonia | ghist: that means one (or more) of the packages may have a problem, that means your machine may have a problem with the packages it's using | 12:43 |
| ioria | ghist, ^ | 12:43 |
| ikonia | ghist: ok - then so if you're going to take that approach to working the problem, I'll take that approach to resolving it | 12:44 |
| ikonia | ghist: "fix it then" | 12:44 |
| blackflow | ghist: you sound like you just want to complain and not see an actual solution here. | 12:44 |
| ghist | it means A) the given config is broken B) the app is broken | 12:44 |
| ikonia | no it doesn't | 12:44 |
| ikonia | it means your having a problem, nothing more | 12:44 |
| ikonia | fix it | 12:44 |
| ghist | ikonia you didn't help anyway | 12:44 |
| ioria | ok,i'am out | 12:44 |
| ikonia | ghist: I was getting the information to help, if you're not willing to work with people - please stop discussing it | 12:44 |
| ghist | I'm seeking the testers and people with the same experience, I'm not going to debug | 12:45 |
| ikonia | if you're not going to debug then you can add no valu e | 12:45 |
| ikonia | please stop the discussion on it | 12:45 |
| ghist | and btw, reinstalling is not a solution - you should know that | 12:45 |
| ikonia | no-one said re-installing was an option, but as you won't provide information / discussion we couldn't get to that option anyway | 12:46 |
| ikonia | so please drop the topic unless you are willing to debug/work the problem | 12:46 |
| ghist | there's no discussion - I'm trying to find answeres why there are broken config in the package and why is the default kubuntu config still hasn't solved the locale issue with the key configs | 12:46 |
| ikonia | there may not be broken config | 12:46 |
| ikonia | this is why we need to debug to understand | 12:46 |
| ghist | there is a broken config | 12:46 |
| ikonia | how do you know | 12:46 |
| ghist | because it works on other distros, that's how | 12:46 |
| ikonia | that's not a valid test | 12:47 |
| ikonia | by that logic, everyone who is not having a problem means it's your personal problem | 12:47 |
| ikonia | so please go and fix it - its your personal problem | 12:47 |
| ikonia | (based on that logic) | 12:47 |
| ghist | based on your logic, every new linux user just go to the IRC and live debug broken config | 12:47 |
| ikonia | nope | 12:47 |
| ghist | I don't want to debug on the irc, i want the testers | 12:47 |
| ikonia | that's my logic | 12:48 |
| Alphr3d0 | Hi all, I'm a little confused. I had a working 17.x install, and have just upgraded to 18.x. First thing I noticed was my usb mouse and keyboard were dead, so I had to go into safe mode to install a module for that. But now I can't get the eth int to even detect. "lshw" tells me it's an RTL8111/8168/8411 which Google indicates has issues. But I don't understand why it worked out of the box in 16x and | 12:48 |
| ikonia | any person of any skill set should work with people trying to help them resolve it | 12:48 |
| Alphr3d0 | 17x, but died in 18x. Nor can I find any recent tips on how to fix. | 12:48 |
| ghist | who made the plasma-desktop package and the related packages | 12:48 |
| ikonia | many people - depends what repo | 12:48 |
| ghist | so, are you an ubuntu dev? | 12:49 |
| rrg | Hi all, Can someone give me a good source of LPI training material? | 12:49 |
| JimBuntu | This is not #ubuntu-devel | 12:49 |
| ghist | ok then a maintainer, someone who's responsible for testing packages - i hope the ubuntu devs don't just release after compilation | 12:50 |
| JimBuntu | ghist, "who made the plasma-desktop package and the related packages" is not an #ubuntu support question | 12:50 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: so, you had trouble with keyboard and mouse, installed a module for it (which "module" btw, and how did you install it), and now you have networking issues? | 12:50 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: btw, fwiw, same interface here, it's fully supported by the kernel. not even firmware is required, though it exists afaik | 12:51 |
| JimBuntu | ghist, "I don't want to debug on the irc, i want the testers" Then you should not be asking in #ubuntu. | 12:51 |
| ghist | JimBuntu: I want support but you aren't going to solve this issue without actually trying it out - and reinstallation didn't help, never did | 12:51 |
| JimBuntu | ghist, This place is for LIVE support, not a place to post issues, ask who the maintainers are/etc. | 12:52 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: I had working network when I booted to safe mode, that's how I then followed someone's post about installing a "xorg-something-all" app for usb devices. But now that I'm booted normally, the eth int doesn't seem to be detected properly. | 12:52 |
| reph | ghist: which config file in plasma-desktop is broken in your opinion? | 12:52 |
| rrg | Hi all, Can someone give me a good source of LPI training material? | 12:52 |
| reph | ghist: which file (name it) | 12:52 |
| ghist | reph: how would I know? after starting the session the panel crashes, the icons disappear; I added a global menu to start stuff but all the running apps displayed the a black screen - except the kde settings app which was "just" flickering | 12:53 |
| JimBuntu | rrg, This is probably not the right channel for your question... but... http://cs.lpi.org/caf/Xamman/partner | 12:53 |
| rrg | TX Jim :) Im out. | 12:54 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: FYI, it was "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all | 12:54 |
| reph | well then don't blame your error on "the plasma-desktop package", because you have to find the culprit first on *your local system* | 12:55 |
| ghist | i wanted to pull a "valid" configuration from a kubuntu installation(in virtualbox) - but that was broken too because the scrolling didn't work and certain shortcuts did nothing(this issue is in ubuntu+kde for non-english locales for 3-4 years and still no fix...) | 12:55 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: xserver-xorg-input-all? | 12:55 |
| Fuchs | every app being black or flickering sounds like an issue with GPU or driver, it would probably help to disable compositing / desktop effects in KDE plasma | 12:55 |
| reph | try looking at your .xession-errors file | 12:55 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: ah you answered that already. k | 12:55 |
| Fuchs | however, as it works for many other users, I wouldn't call the package broken, rather the combination of your system, your installation and the package | 12:55 |
| ghist | reph: what are you talking about? I just ran sudo apt install plasma-desktop | 12:55 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: so okay, now the keyboard and mouse works, but you have no network? | 12:55 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: correct | 12:55 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: lo0 is all that shows in ifconfig | 12:56 |
| ghist | Fuchs: that didn't help, i tried that when I saw the issue | 12:56 |
| Fuchs | ghist: then it would be interesting to see some logs | 12:56 |
| ghist | Fuchs: the package or its config is broken if it doesn't work after installation, simple | 12:56 |
| reph | ghist: try a fresh kubunu installation in a VM for example just to have proof that the problem is not in the distro package | 12:56 |
| ghist | reph: I just did that: fresh kubuntu in vb | 12:57 |
| zetheroo | how does unattended updates deal with new configs? | 12:57 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: and that's Bionic, upgraded from Artful? is there any output for dmesg | grep eth | 12:57 |
| Fuchs | ghist: then it would not work for others as well | 12:57 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: Correct, and no. I can't really see anything in dmesg about the nic. | 12:57 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: Well, correct if Artful is 17.x. | 12:57 |
| reph | ghist: try https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=98156 | 12:57 |
| jocic | Hey guys, is there a way that I can log which files are transfered using the SCP command? | 12:57 |
| ghist | guys, this is what I'm talking about: I couldn't get a correct kde config because even the fresh kubuntu installation in vm is broken | 12:57 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: Artful is 17.10, and I doubt you pgraded from 17.04 to Bionic | 12:58 |
| reph | ghist: and post ~/.xsession-error | 12:58 |
| reph | +s | 12:58 |
| JimBuntu | Why are we discussing kubuntu here? | 12:58 |
| jocic | I was checking the SSH config, and changing the LogLevel - but no luck. | 12:58 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: Sure ok, sorry - I'm new(ish) to the Ubuntu world. | 12:59 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: It just ran the upgrade through software update | 12:59 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: okay, can you pastebin the output of dmesg | grep -Pi "net|r8169" | 12:59 |
| reph | JimBuntu: no, we're teaching how behave on the interwebz | 12:59 |
| blackflow | JimBuntu: "#ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors" topic? is not kubuntu official here? | 13:00 |
| JimBuntu | reph, Well #kubuntu has it's own channel, with actual kubuntu users in it to provide support for kubuntu | 13:00 |
| ghist | nope, plasma-desktop is an ubuntu package | 13:00 |
| reph | ghist: but it's a kubuntu problem ;) | 13:00 |
| jocic | Bah, nevermind. It seems that SCP only logs authentications. | 13:01 |
| JimBuntu | blackflow, Yeah, I think it is, nvm me | 13:01 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: anything you're looking for specifically? Pastebin is hard with no network on the system. | 13:01 |
| Fuchs | JimBuntu: as does #ubuntu havae KDE plasma users, and it would be on-topic as well | 13:01 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: the output of that command exactly :) but I'm looking for: eth -> predictable renames, r8169 module logged as loaded, any error about "net"workign or whatever | 13:02 |
| Fuchs | however, without logs this one is hard, it might also be an issue with either the host or the virtualization | 13:02 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: "audit: initializing netlink subsys (disabled)" ? | 13:03 |
| ghist | here's the related part from my xsession errors: https://pastebin.com/gEewPmVQ | 13:03 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: doesn't sound relevant | 13:03 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: perhaps you could take a photo of your screen with that output and post it to imgur or wherever? | 13:04 |
| ghist | reph: the kubuntu problems are different | 13:04 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: on it | 13:05 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: but to cut on possible wasted time, is there any output about r8169? | 13:05 |
| MysticReverie | Whats the difference between the 'update' feature in ubuntu software gui compare to the update in sofwtware ? I ask becasue in the Ubuntu software gui I sometimes get a connection error for a few updates, but the Software Updater GUI gives no errors. Am I getting all my updated I need? Thanks | 13:06 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: shorturl.at/bfAC1 | 13:07 |
| Fuchs | ghist: seems to be having issues with the VirtualBox provided OpenGL driver, | 13:07 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: that requires login | 13:07 |
| Fuchs | ghist: after making sure that the correct VirtualBox extensions are installed and loaded on the guest, can you temporarily disable the 2d and 3d acceleration for that guest in virtualbox settings and see if that makes a difference? | 13:07 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: but eh, is there r8169 mentioned in that dmesg grep? | 13:07 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: try now | 13:07 |
| ghist | Fuchs: the blackapps thing was not present in the kubuntu version + kde works well with manjaro and virtualbox | 13:08 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: no there isn't | 13:08 |
| Fuchs | ghist: could you try what I wrote? | 13:08 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: lspci -k lists Ethernet and "Kernel modules" ? | 13:09 |
| ghist | Fuchs: yep, but I'll need to log out and will move to #kubuntu; thanks for the hints | 13:09 |
| Fuchs | you're welcome | 13:09 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: lspci -k -s 02:00.0 | 13:09 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: yes it does | 13:09 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: do I have to waste this much more bytes to actually ask which ones they are? :) | 13:10 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: Not sure what you're asking. It says 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co, Ltd Onboard Ethernet | 13:11 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: I'm asking if that command lists "Kernel modules" for that device, and especially "Kernel driver in use" | 13:12 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: right, I misunderstood - I thought you meant did the command list the nic. It doesn't mention anything about kernel modules | 13:12 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: then I guess that particular variation of the chipset is not supported by the driver. the kernel is regular bionic's, right? 4.15? | 13:13 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: correct: 4.15.0-24-generic | 13:14 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: is the package linux-firmware installeD? | 13:14 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: yes, v 1.173.1 | 13:15 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: any output (and photo of it) for command dmesg | grep "02:00.0" ? | 13:16 |
| lblume | Hello all | 13:17 |
| lblume | Is there a tool that can help diagnose if a laptop's battery is dead? | 13:17 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: shorturl.at/chlu2 | 13:18 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: uh, you just installed some packages? so networking works? | 13:20 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: no, I just did the "autoremove" that apt-get kept asking me to do. Just removed a bunch of old lib* packages | 13:21 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: ah, indeed, yes. Anyway, I'm a bit at loss what to do here, it appears as if the NIC is not supported by the kernel or is missing something, but you say linux-firmware is installed... This worked under 17.10? | 13:22 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: sure did... hence my confusion. | 13:22 |
| zetheroo | how does unattended updates deal with new configs? | 13:22 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: grep "CONFIG_R8169" /boot/config-4.15.0-24-generic shows it, and =m ? | 13:23 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: one sec, I thought I'd reboot. I can't remember if I've done a full reboot since being in safe mode (although I think I have) | 13:24 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: oh you're in safe mode? no you have to be in normal boot for all the modules to load up..... | 13:24 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: meanwhile, can you modprobe r8169 ? | 13:25 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: no I'm not, I was earlier to fix the usb input, and I *think* I rebooted since then. | 13:25 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: try that modprobe | 13:25 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: ut no hard in trying a reboot. | 13:25 |
| Alphr3d0 | s/ut/but | 13:25 |
| blackflow | try the modprobe first | 13:26 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: then dmesg | grep r8169 or | grep 02:00.0 | 13:26 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: if there's output, netplan apply and you should be having network. | 13:27 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: /boot/config* had =m | 13:30 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: modprobe gave "FATAL: Module r8169 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-24-generic | 13:31 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: does this say "Exists"? [ -f /lib/modules/4.15.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko ] && echo "Exists" | 13:33 |
| benergy | Hey everyone! I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 with Cinnamon 3.6.7. After today's upgrade (including gdm and libmutter) my cinnamon crashes upon startup. My dmesg indicates segfaults (gnome-shell in libmutter and cinnamon in libmozjs-38.so). Can anyone help? | 13:34 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: nope | 13:35 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: only think in the realtek folder is "8139cp.ko" and "8139too.ko" | 13:35 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: is linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic installed? try to reinstall it (apt install --reinstall linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic) and then you should have that driver, check wiht the above [ ... ] && echo command | 13:38 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: what's the command to check if a package is installed? | 13:38 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: dpkg -l linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic should list it starting with ii | 13:39 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: it attempted to re-install but needs web | 13:39 |
| blackflow | oh bummerino, yes, catch 22 | 13:39 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: welp, live CD rescue time it is then | 13:40 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: I can't just download that pkg on another system? | 13:40 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: I'm talking to you through a ubuntu 18 laptop | 13:40 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: check /var/cache/apt/archives/ if the .deb is there, and theny ou can ship it over with an usb stick or something and dpkg install it | 13:41 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: but, it doesn't show as installed with that dpkg -l check? | 13:41 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: what would it say for installed? | 13:42 |
| ppf | ii | 13:42 |
| blackflow | yeah the package line would start with 'ii' | 13:43 |
| Alphr3d0 | It says rc | 13:43 |
| blackflow | and we have a winner. try this. copy linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic_4.15.0-24.26_amd64.deb from your working bionic's /var/cache/apt/archives/ and install it with dpkg -i linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic_4.15.0-24.26_amd64.deb on that other machine you shiped the file over to. | 13:44 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: this is just OTOH, I make no guarantees this would work. looks like botched upgrade, and who knows what else is missing. dpkg should complain about missing deps tho' and you can ship over any such .deb from the apt cache of your laptop --- ASSUMING both are supposed to be Bionic. | 13:44 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: that file doesn't exist on this system | 13:45 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: run teh same dpkg -l chekc to see if the package is installed | 13:46 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: it is | 13:46 |
| Alphr3d0 | "ii" | 13:46 |
| Alphr3d0 | Different version though. | 13:47 |
| blackflow | ah which one? | 13:47 |

| Alphr3d0 | the rc line on the desktop says Version 4.15.0-24.26~16 | 13:48 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: is there any linux-modules-extra-.... package in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? | 13:49 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: on which? | 13:49 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: not on lappy | 13:49 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: well I suppose on both, but was really asking abotu the laptop (from where you'd copy it over) | 13:49 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: nothing linux* in that folder on the laptop | 13:49 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: but laptop is the one with working bionic, and desktop is the one with botched upgrade? | 13:50 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: correct | 13:50 |
| blackflow | and then I suppose no such .deb file on the desktop either, under /var/cache/apt/archives? | 13:50 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: desktop has linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic_4.15.0-24.26~16.04.1_amd64.de | 13:51 |
| ppf | you can apt download the package | 13:51 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: alright, let's try this. first, what's uname -r on desktop, 4.15.0-24-generic? | 13:51 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: desktop also has linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-23-generic_4.15.0-23.25.amd64.deb | 13:51 |
| benergy | Could someone point me to information on how to debug Cinnamon? Or am I maybe in the wrong forum? | 13:52 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: yes that's right - 4.15.0-24-generic | 13:52 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: okay, what happens if you dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic_4.15.0-24.26~16.04.1_amd64.deb ? | 13:53 |
| blackflow | on the desktop | 13:53 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: and-uh btw... that version looks a bit weird. was that an update from 16.04 or something? | 13:55 |
| Alphr3d0 | Alphr3d0: originally, yes | 13:56 |
| Alphr3d0 | Ok, that module installed | 13:56 |
| Alphr3d0 | It now says "ii" with dpkg -l | 13:56 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: modprobe r8169 now? | 13:56 |
| blackflow | this is not totally a right thing to do, but at least the package should be for more or less correct kernel and ABI | 13:56 |
| Alphr3d0 | FIXED | 13:56 |
| blackflow | not so fast | 13:56 |
| Alphr3d0 | oh :( | 13:56 |
| Alphr3d0 | But I has interwebs! :P | 13:57 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: upgrade the system :) | 13:57 |
| blackflow | that package wasn't there for a reason. botched upgrade, or isn't the correct version, so upgrade the system. | 13:57 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: upgrade in which way / sense | 13:57 |
| blackflow | apt update && apt upgrade | 13:57 |
| Alphr3d0 | doing | 13:58 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: if that doesn't upgrade linux-modules-extra, then I suppose that _is_ the correct package that just wasn't installed for some reason. | 13:59 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: doing, and it lists a linux-modules-extra....-report package that will be upgraded | 13:59 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: and with that, I suppose, you can say FIXED :) | 13:59 |
| blackflow | reboot one more time after the upgrades, to confirm a working network. | 13:59 |

| blackflow | that should at least show you what's going on under it | 14:10 |

| blackflow | BSDs are not free from that either. each new version of base requires all pkgs rebuild due to abi changes. I've had a fair share of trouble with those, especially perl causing me to lose hair. | 14:23 |
| blackflow | (FreeBSD at least) | 14:23 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: yes, perl was always a bit of a painful one | 14:23 |
| Alphr3d0 | blackflow: but this is really only 2 major updates... | 14:24 |
| blackflow | Alphr3d0: yeah but it's a complex beast with a lot of pakcages and a lot of changes between major, esp LTS versions | 14:24 |
| blackflow | usually it's gpu related | 14:24 |
| blackflow | I mean you could try and figure out what it is exactly and fix it, but imho it's not worth the time. backup & reinstall that's what I did when my 17.10 -> bionic upgrade failed and I couldn't figure it out in 10 minutes (time needed to reinstall from scratch and pull data from backups) | 14:25 |

| mezod_ | hello, is it recommended to have several IdentityFile defined in .ssh/config? I have one for github and one for bitbucket, I'm not sure if I can add two IdentityFile there, or will it always try the first key against every service and on failure try the next one? is that ok? | 16:17 |
| ppf | mezod_: usually you define one per host | 16:18 |
| mezod_ | ppf: like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/2419609/2129043 ? | 16:18 |
| blackflow | not really per host, maybe per service, but that's not needed even, as you share only the pubkeys | 16:19 |
| ppf | mezod_: ya | 16:19 |
| blackflow | mezod_: it's fine to have multiple keys, you can use ~/.ssh/config to specify which host pattern uses which. | 16:19 |
| mezod_ | i'm not sure about the hostnames/usernames since if I only have one I don't need to specify | 16:19 |
| ddoobb | How can Ihide the top bar and window titlebar when a window is maximised in 18.04? | 16:19 |
| blackflow | mezod_: you can have a default Host * entry, and then override where needed | 16:20 |
| mezod_ | also, would it be wrong to use the same key for both services? | 16:20 |
| blackflow | it wouldn't | 16:20 |

| xjkx | it says no new release found | 17:04 |
| EriC^^ | xjkx: if you can't wait til july 27 "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" should upgrade to 18.04 by force | 17:04 |
| tomreyn | i think it'll be supported starting shortly after the 18.01 release, which is expected late this month. | 17:04 |
| tomreyn | it might also upgrade to 18.10, which would be undesirable | 17:05 |

| ask-ygU5AP56 | noodleking, think netinstall | 17:52 |
| blackflow | noodleking: yeah, this is a new thing too: https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/07/09/minimal-ubuntu-released | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | benergy: try this: edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment: #WaylandEnable=false | 17:53 |
| noodleking | ah, thank you | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | benergy: alternatively, you can try replacing gdm by lightdm | 17:53 |
| qwebirc66758 | Hi, I can not connect to a Windows shared folder, I have tried all the solutions privided in help.ubuntu.com and stackoverflow, and all I get is the same error: mount error(95): Operation not supported, I have waste almos an hour reading documentation about mount and cifs and ntfs-3g and all ends in the same result | 17:53 |
| noodleking | blackflow is that server iso stripped down or with the desktop stuff too? | 17:53 |
| qwebirc66758 | Any Ideas? | 17:54 |
| benergy | tomreyn: Thanks, I found the first suggestion today on the Internet, but then I was just left with a black screen | 17:54 |
| ioria | tomreyn, i concur | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | benergy: actually no, ignore this,. this is just for when the login manager fails to load, but you seem to get till there, right? | 17:54 |
| benergy | tomreyn: Yep, the problem only arises after I log in. | 17:54 |
| ioria | benergy, cat /var/log/installer/media-info | 17:54 |
| benergy | ioria: media-info isn't in the directory? | 17:55 |
| noodleking | ask-ygU5AP56 where do you get the mini.iso is it on the ubuntu website? (I might have missed it) Also, same for the netinstall ... never done that before. | 17:55 |
| ioria | benergy, grep cdrom /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:56 |
| blackflow | noodleking: without desktop | 17:56 |
| benergy | ioria: Doesn't return anything. | 17:57 |
| noodleking | blackflow thanks | 17:57 |
| ioria | benergy, may i ask you how did you install ubuntu ? | 17:57 |
| benergy | ioria: I used Tuxedo WebFAI. | 17:58 |
| ioria | benergy, what is that ? | 17:58 |
| benergy | ioria: It's an install script provided by the vendor. It downloads and installs Ubuntu and applies some tweaks for the hardware. | 17:59 |
| ioria | i see | 17:59 |
| ioria | benergy, uname -r ? | 17:59 |

| jje | noodleking: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads | 18:01 |
| ioria | benergy, well,i have no clue how that script works, but i's switch to tty and i'd try to install --reinstall cinnamon-desktop-environment and then lightdm | 18:01 |
| ioria | benergy, you also need to set lightdm as default dm | 18:02 |
| vavkamil | hi, I'm on 16.04 and my system is freezing, can anyone help me debug that? | 18:02 |
| benergy | ioria: Okay, I'll try that! Lightdm is a window manager, right? How can I make that my default? | 18:02 |
| ioria | you'll be asked | 18:03 |
| benergy | ioria: All right, thanks a lot. I'll give it a shot! | 18:03 |
| benergy | tomreyn: Thank you, too! | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | benergy: also check with tuxedo for a bios update | 18:04 |

| drkshadow | Every. Single. Statement. Is openening about five SSH connections to the host, including one to copy a file, a second to run a file, and a third to get the results of that run showing that it can sudo, then it opens another to copy its script, and another to run that script as sudo.... or something very close to that. How do I make it not make SO SO SO MANY connections? | 18:56 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc68238: no | 18:57 |

| ubottu | Bacteria: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 18:57 |
| drkshadow | Ubuntu 18 server has problems with networking. | 18:57 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: Please don't | 18:57 |
| drkshadow | lefty: I'm not anything, so that statement is overly fague. | 18:57 |
| Bacteria | ubottu: shutup goof | 18:57 |
| blackflow | Nexilva: seen this (and the links at teh bottom of it, especially the first one)? https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/ | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | Bacteria: can we help you with something? | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: use "ControlMaster auto" in your ssh config | 18:58 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: or make your script do everything over the one ssh session | 18:59 |
| drkshadow | is there a reason to have /etc/ansible not world-readable? | 18:59 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: that would be an #ansible question | 19:00 |
| drkshadow | yeargh. wrong channel. :-) | 19:00 |
| drkshadow | so it is the proper place to complain about Ubuntu 18.04 network not working... | 19:00 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: define "not working" | 19:00 |
| Bacteria | #not-working | 19:01 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: networking works fine in Ubuntu 18.04 | 19:01 |

| TBotNik | All: On Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. Been having problems with Network Manager, so ran apt-get remove network-manager and rebooted. Course now that machine will not goto network, so what is the work around? What do I need to download and copy to flash and then run install from flash? Is this in a HOWTO? | 19:01 |
| drkshadow | it has no sense of fallback configuration. When the network setup needs to be able to specify a particular IP address either before the machine has ever been configured, or between formats/installs, the MAC _has_ to be used as the DHCP ID | 19:01 |
| drkshadow | So consider machines with different brands of NICs. They get different names. So you have to match _all_ nics to specify that setup is dhcp-identifier: mac. But then you're specifying network configuration, so you _have_ to define the network configuration. Hope dhcp is good enough, else you're setting the same static IP on all your NICs. | 19:02 |
| drkshadow | Or suppose you need a NIC to have one IP and a different NIC to be DHCP. Well now you can't do fallbacks because that matches everything. So... you just have to write it for all nics, ever, or just... you can't. There isn't a way. Because there's no way to specify that the system send the MAC as the DHCP identifier by _default_ (because there are no defaults), networking is just broken. | 19:03 |
| blackflow | drkshadow: uhm... you specify the NIC in the network config, so I'm not sure I follow what you mean.... | 19:03 |
| drkshadow | for many corporate uses, networking is just broken. | 19:03 |
| drkshadow | black: exactly. You specify the nic. There is no concept of fallbacks or defaults. | 19:03 |
| blackflow | drkshadow: fallbacks for what? | 19:03 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: sorry, I don't follow. Can't you just specify the preferred client identifier in your dhcp server? | 19:03 |
| drkshadow | You can't specify one setting for a group of interfaces and then specific configurations. You specify each redundant setting for each NIC. | 19:04 |
| blackflow | drkshadow: you mean if one NIC doesn't get networking via dhcp, you try another (but not if it does)? | 19:04 |
| drkshadow | lefty: not that I'm aware of. Doesn't the client send whatever it feels its identifier is? I'm not aware of this being a two-way conversation. | 19:04 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: https://www.isc.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/dhcp43clientconf.html | 19:05 |
| drkshadow | black: try and configure a setting to match all NICs, specifying dhcp-identifier: mac. Now try and configure a nic with a static IP. It's incredibly difficult. | 19:05 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: dhcp-client-identifier | 19:05 |
| drkshadow | lefty: I'm under the impression that systemd-networkd doesn't even use this. | 19:06 |
| blackflow | drkshadow: please use my full nickname if you want me highlighted and noticing your post. | 19:06 |
| drkshadow | Second, it does'nt allow you to specify the mac, only the identifier. | 19:06 |
| blackflow | drkshadow: so anyway, I'm failing to understnd the use case here. Are you talking about NIC redundancy, if one fails to obtain config, another picks up? | 19:06 |
| blackflow | also, doesn't bonding do what you're describing? | 19:07 |
| drkshadow | black: ALL the nics on the system should do DHCP requests with the mac address (not the damn DUID). Then, a third nic should have a static IP. Oops, that's breaking things -- you can't specify "all" and then say "but this specific one" -- you have to redefine all the settings for all the nics individually. Then, if you add a new one (USB?) that NIC doesn't have the settings, because they're no fallback/defaults. | 19:07 |
| drkshadow | The way it needs to happen is the lexiographic ordering of /etc/netplan/* files, but then you have to _hope_ you name them right, and the "10-netplan.cfg" will probably hit before your particular file | 19:08 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: option dhcp-client-identifier, hardware | 19:08 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: in dhcpd.config as part of isc-dhcp-server | 19:08 |
| drkshadow | lefty: that's not in the document that you posted, and the document you posted includes it only in the specific interface. Again you have to know all your interfaces in advance, and if you add a USB nic, well I hope you thought of that in advance. | 19:09 |
| drkshadow | But again -- this refers to dhclient.conf, which doesn't appear to be used by systemd-networkd. | 19:09 |
| leftyfb | drkshadow: please use full nicks to refer to people here | 19:09 |
| drkshadow | lefty: omfg | 19:09 |
| leftyfb | :/ | 19:09 |

| tundra-help | Bashing-om: Well, how would I go about installing this driver | 21:06 |
| benergy | Still no luck with my Ubuntu/Cinnamon problem. Changing the window manager doesn't prevent Cinnamon from crashing. | 21:06 |
| benergy | Sadly, unlike many other programs, I find Cinnamon very hard to debug - is it just me? | 21:07 |
| Bashing-om | tundra-help: What release do you have installd ? as our PPA has that driver up to 16.04 : https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa . | 21:07 |

| oerheks | it won't be a youtube-race-monster | 21:08 |
| kase | tomreyn, Bashing-om, I was just trying to run the boot after editing the grub command line when it started. but ctrl-x or f10 didnt work. but it just turned out that pressing "enter" proceeds with boot, with changes accepted | 21:08 |
| Bashing-om | kase: News to me :) // I did expect that the key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process . | 21:10 |
| tomreyn | kase: glad you worked it out, indeed, there are both options. i never ran into a situation where ctrl-x would not work, so far. but we're all here to learn. ;-) | 21:10 |
| blackflow | probably exited the edit mode | 21:10 |
| tundra-help | Bashing-om: So, now that I have that ppa, how would I go about installing the driver? When I do "sudo apt install nvidia-304" I get this: https://pastebin.com/tQZjftKL | 21:13 |

| tundra-help | So there's no way of doing this then Bashing-om ? | 21:15 |
| ddoobb | uebera||: Sorry I missed that answer so asked again. That only applies to FIrefox right. Isn't there a way to hide the title bar like in XFCE? | 21:16 |

| uebera|| | ddoobb: F11 should apply to every application. | 21:17 |
| blackflow | ddoobb: that's not a standard theme. if you don't like it, don't use it. also what others said about F11 | 21:17 |
| Bashing-om | tundra-help: nouvea is your only recourse as things stand now . | 21:17 |

| ddoobb | blackflow can you post a screenshot of how much it takes on your system? | 21:20 |
| ddoobb | uebera||: I looked at all settings gnome-tweaks has to offer and it's not there. Looks like GNOME is just less customisable than XFCE. | 21:21 |
| blackflow | ddoobb: google "ubuntu bionic firefox" and look at the screenshots | 21:21 |
| blackflow | ddoobb: it's looking like Unity was looking, much thinner than default upstream gnome | 21:22 |
| ddoobb | blackflow: it's really the same see https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wm0WDAahfsw/WlW9MmSwEkI/AAAAAAAAD4I/zxM6JgZI440g7hSZ5SXlBec-d9BuuBPrgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screenshot%2Bfrom%2B2018-01-10%2B12-41-44.png | 21:24 |
| tundra-help | Well, Bashing-om or oerheks , would either of you know how to get hardware video stream decoding to work with the nouveau driver? | 21:25 |
| ddoobb | Unity also had the option to combine the title bar and top bar on maximised windows. GNOME is really unelegant in this regard. Is there a way to hide the top bar completely? | 21:27 |
| blackflow | ddoobb: I don't know, but I miss that too in Gnome. Unity really knew how to save screen real estate. | 21:28 |
| Bashing-om | tundra-help: Looking to see what I can find . | 21:28 |
| oerheks | tundra-help, google-chrome could work, probably only fullscreen F11 .. again, it never will be a youtube racemonster | 21:29 |
| ddoobb | I found an extension that seems to do it: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/723/pixel-saver/ | 21:29 |
| ddoobb | Will check it out later. | 21:29 |
| claymorehack | hi everyone | 21:39 |
| Sbur3 | Where do I send a screenshot? On startup of the desktop, I get a message that says that my printer/scanner is a USB drive And I can't seem to get the scanner function to work | 21:43 |
| Bashing-om | !paste | Sbur3 | 21:44 |

| Sbur3 | https://imgur.com/a/StgHSsg | 21:46 |
| Sbur3 | This imgur.com thing shows that during boot, my Brother MFC 6490 CW is shown as a USB drive. The printer functions correctly. But the scanner does not respond nor is it recognized | 21:49 |
| Sbur3 | Any ideas as to how to fix the problem? | 21:50 |
| ahi2 | Sbur: maybe the printer has an sdcard in it and is being shown as a drive | 22:00 |

| jalt | keyserver.ubuntu.com is being very flaky and causing apt to fail. is there any simple workaround that doesn't require changing the keyserver every time i want to update, other than --allow-unauthenticated? | 23:09 |
| bendag | Hi, I have trouble with my built-in webcam, when I open cheese I have the message no device found. I tried a lot of things, nothing worked yet | 23:11 |
| oerheks | jalt, what package does that? | 23:12 |
| jalt | oerheks, not a package, but adding ppas (that have proper keys). i can even lookup the keys manually on the server via http, and they sometimes work, but it's flaky | 23:13 |
| jalt | as an example, libreoffice fresh (i will copy/paste, gimme a sec) | 23:13 |
| oerheks | so what pps's, and what mirror do you use? do you have an output of update? | 23:13 |
| oerheks | some mirrors don't update during summerholidays, like a university, so if 'main' gives these issues too, it is worth looking into | 23:15 |
| oerheks | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 23:16 |
| jalt | oerheks: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sNnJFnknmW/ | 23:17 |
| jalt | the problem is not the archive/mirrors, it's really the ubuntu keyserver | 23:18 |
| ahi2 | bendag: is uvcvideo blacklisted? | 23:18 |
| jalt | and i am not the only one affected: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11601 https://answers.ros.org/question/296729/problem-when-i-enter-the-key/ | 23:18 |
| jalt | i just did the exact same update 20 min ago and worked fine | 23:18 |
| jalt | then about 10 min ago it gave the results i pasted | 23:19 |
| tomreyn | oerheks: the problem is the keyserver indeed, there's a known bug in the keyserver software ubuntu (and pretty much everyone else nowadays) uses which caused it to get flaky when long UID keys are synched to it. | 23:19 |
| jalt | http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=0x1378B444&op=vindex | 23:19 |
| tomreyn | https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/60/denial-of-service-via-large-uid-packets | 23:19 |
| jalt | manual lookup seems fine | 23:19 |
| jalt | ah, thanks for confirming tomreyn | 23:19 |
| jalt | is there documentation on apt about setting additional key servers and have then tried in round robin fashion, or at least some type of timed-retry (wait 10s and try again, then wait 30s, and if it still failing abort, etc)? | 23:22 |
| tomreyn | jalt: you can possibly work around it by specifying a different keyserver, but i'm not sure whether this can be made permanent (until the issue is fixed) | 23:22 |
| jalt | gpg --keyserver [name of keyserver] --recv-keys [keyhash] is the manual workaround, but it's annoying | 23:22 |
| jalt | oops wrong paste: apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823 (from the github i linked earliier) | 23:23 |
| tomreyn | right. "apt-key adv" also accepts custom gpg options, but this may not help either. | 23:23 |
| oerheks | oke, so the short fix is using keys.gnupg.net manually ? | 23:24 |
| jalt | for my specific use case --allow-unauthenticated is ok, but if a better and equally simple workaround existed..... | 23:24 |
| tomreyn | i'd suggest using an sks-keyservers.net pool instead | 23:24 |
| tomreyn | but other than that, yes, that's probably the workaround. or try again later. | 23:24 |
| jalt | ^ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116 | 23:24 |
| oerheks | is there a setting to use that one for standard? | 23:25 |
| * tomreyn does not know | 23:25 | |
| oerheks | me too, and if that conflicts with updates and so on | 23:25 |
| tomreyn | i dont think it conflicts with updates | 23:26 |
| tomreyn | it should only be relevant when adding or removing repositories | 23:26 |
| jalt | once the ppa is verified (meaning the key has been cached) it should be ok, yeah | 23:27 |
| jalt | but if you are doing a fresh install it becomes annoying, especially if it's automated | 23:27 |
| tomreyn | jalt: are you sure about this? since most ubuntu keys should be shipped through an apt pakcage. | 23:29 |
| jalt | ppa keys ;) | 23:29 |
| tomreyn | hmm, actually myinformation there may be outdated. | 23:31 |
| tomreyn | !info ubuntu-keyring | 23:31 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-keyring (source: ubuntu-keyring): GnuPG keys of the Ubuntu archive. In component main, is important. Version 2018.02.28 (bionic), package size 20 kB, installed size 42 kB | 23:31 |
| abcdexyz4 | hi, i'm having a problem: netfilter-persistent not restoring iptables rules at boot. I spent some time debugging the init file for netfilter-persistent service, and it seems that `sudo service netfilter-persistent start` command is being intercepted by /lib/lsb/init_functions, and the result is empty output. Any alias for `start`, such as `reload`, works perfectly. Where should I start digging? | 23:31 |
| tomreyn | okay this one has a current verison, but not xenial | 23:32 |
| tomreyn | !info ubuntu-keyring xenial | 23:32 |

| tomreyn | jalt: apt-add-repository has a --keyserver option (no configuration file though, it seems). but i guess this can be good enough. | 23:33 |
| === abcdexyz4 is now known as zhdncpq | ||
| jalt | tomreyn: yeah, but since i expect this to be a temporary glitch i don't want to hardcode the --keyserver option on my deployment script, though that would certainly be a more robust workaround | 23:36 |
| oerheks | '.. one can set up key servers in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, but those settings are not considered by Seahorse as it forces GnuPG to use the key server configured in seahorse instead | 23:39 |
| oerheks | :-( | 23:39 |
| jalt | tomreyn, oerheks: https://askubuntu.com/a/932370 | 23:40 |
| jalt | /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py exists on my system at least, and sounds promising | 23:40 |
| oerheks | yes, the proxy fix, but not keyserver AFAIK.. | 23:40 |
| jalt | no, inside it there is: DEFAULT_KEYSERVER = "hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/" | 23:41 |
| jalt | In AddPPASigningKey: self.keyserver = (keyserver if keyserver is not None | 23:43 |
| jalt | else DEFAULT_KEYSERVER) | 23:43 |
| jalt | so no round robin, but hey, it's a start | 23:43 |
| mtdms | im trying to find apt-get for swift programming language in my ubuntu , is there something? | 23:45 |
| mtdms | like that | 23:45 |
| mtdms | i cant install it with package i would like to install it easier | 23:45 |
| mtdms | swift | 23:45 |
| tomreyn | jalt: i don't seem to understand what you're suggesting to do / how to override the default keyserver unless with a command line option. you could surely place keyservers.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts, amipulating the resolver, but that's a rather dirty hack. | 23:48 |
| mtdms | when i cant install from packages , is there a way to install adding repositories? for then using apt? | 23:49 |
| jalt | tomreyn, i was just trying to find where was the default keyserver set, and if it would feasible to add others | 23:49 |
| tomreyn | oh ok | 23:50 |
| jalt | since it's not currently supported, a quick fix would be to simply replace the ppa.py with a patched version hardcoded for a keyserver pool. once sks gets fixed i can restore the original file. | 23:50 |
| guiver_d | mtdms: what Ubuntu are you using (https://gist.github.com/Azoy/8c47629fa160878cf359bf7380aaaaf9 covers 14.04 & 16.04) | 23:51 |
| mtdms | i founds this : https://dev.iachieved.it/iachievedit/introducing-swift-3-0/ | 23:51 |
| mtdms | looks good :) | 23:51 |
| oerheks | compare some swift howto's .. | 23:51 |
| mtdms | Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS | 23:52 |
| oerheks | anyway, it is programming, so you will read a lot more :-) | 23:52 |
| mtdms | is there always a way to add repositores? | 23:52 |
| mtdms | i mean when i cant install a package, can i look for repositories and add to my ubuntu for then using apt-get? | 23:52 |
| oerheks | sure, if they are PPA repositories, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<ppa_name> | 23:53 |
| guiver_d | mtdms: doing that autmatically (searching for a package that has what you want & auto-adding it) just screams will-break-system to me.. (apt) rules exist to protect from api/abi change damage | 23:54 |
| mtdms | do you mean it is unsafe? | 23:54 |
| mtdms | SO ITS NAMED PPA REPOSITORES? THEN I ADD THEM TO MY UBUNTU? i didnt know about it | 23:55 |
| guiver_d | potential for damage (usually in the future, or if you don't do your homework before adding.. my comment was mainly for automatic add repo [ie. no homework]) | 23:55 |
| mtdms | i see | 23:55 |
| mtdms | thanks a lot | 23:55 |
| mtdms | i didnt know about it | 23:56 |
| mtdms | so i can look for them , they are names ppa, but i need to be carefull, then i add them and then when i use apt-get, they will appear in my ubuntu? i got it? | 23:56 |
| zhdncpq | any thought about why iptables-persistent might fail to persist iptables rules at boot time? I have a strong suspicion it might be because /lib/lsb/init-functions is doing something weird when getting 'start' command, but maybe someone has other ideas? | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | mtdms: that's roughly correct. | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | !ppa | mtdms | 23:58 |

| mtdms | THANKS A LOT | 23:58 |
| mtdms | i learned something new today :) | 23:59 |
| Sean_McG | anyone here good at writing udev rules? is this a good place to ask or is there a better channel on freenode? | 23:59 |
| zhdncpq | init script for iptables-persistent service is basically a switch, which selects based on command in $1. but first it runs `. /lib/lsb/init-functions`. when I run `service iptables-persistent start` it just quietly exits without any output. when I run `service iptables-persistent reload` (which is actually a synonym and included in the same switch branch), it works as it should. what's going on here? | 23:59 |
