[00:05] Hi everyone [00:06] I'm having issues with my Ubuntu server. After about 20mins, all connections stop until I reboot again. Any thoughts? [00:11] I'm having issues with my Ubuntu server. After about 20mins, all connections stop until I reboot again. Any thoughts? [00:13] So im using 18.04 fresh install, created a photo server of sorts, im going through all my external HD's copying photos over to this computer and my computer just hangs while copying. sometimes reboots spontaniously. I've noticed this only happens when I have external hard drives and copying from them. Any thoughts why? [00:17] serverissues: got anything on this on your logs? [00:17] does disk i/o still work then? [00:18] which hardware (exacty computer or mainboard model), firmware? [00:18] Which log would I be looking at? [00:19] serverissues: /var/log/syslog and, maybe more importantly, the output of the 'dmesg' command === gpap_ is now known as gpap [00:20] chrometiger: you could actually do the same ^ [00:21] Looks like ufw is blocking connections. But I have allowed incoming, outgoing, routed. And I have tried disabling ufw [00:24] I just installed mosquitto mqtt server, but when I try and do systemctl start mosquitto it doesn't start it. the only way it starts it is if I manually do it via mosquitto -d ... what can I check to see why its not starting with systemctl? [00:26] didn't see anything in my logs associated with my crashes anywhere else log wize I could check ? [00:28] like right now i've been running for about a hour no crashes, its only when I start copying massive amounts of personal photos from one hdd to this computer [00:29] serverissues: disabling ufw is as complex as running "ufw disable". if it worked, iptables -L will list no rules in any 'ufw' chains [00:33] sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw logging on && sudo ufw app list && sudo ufw allow 80 && sudo ufw status verbose [00:33] or ssh something [00:36] hello [00:36] hello hippies [00:37] Hey, so I add PPA's sometimes, or sometimes they are added automatically by scripts, and a small but significant fraction of those PPA's give an error when you try to GET them for one reason or another, causing apt-get update to fail in an automatic mode. What's the best way to clear those entries? [00:38] e.g. 404 because it's an old PPA that no longer exists [00:38] Tried doing that and still can't get to port 80 [00:38] hi there. need assistance with my networking issue [00:38] restarted apache? [00:38] It won't even allow me to ping an outside IP [00:39] nevermind lol [00:39] after a reboot, my ping requests are responsive. however after a while (< 30 min kind of window)... ping then becaomes slow and unresponsive. and it takes several seconds to return. however other lookup cmds (like nslookup and dig) do not appear to be affected [00:39] this is on ubuntu 18.04 [00:40] perhaps it was a recent update? because this problem has only started happening fairly recently, within the last week [00:40] ...perhaps there is there a way i can check chronologically for past updates? and see if anything to do with the resolver has been updated? then i could roll it back [00:42] currently at 5.2 seconds (for a ping request) [00:42] vs nslookup which is 0.22 seconds [00:42] *0.022 seconds [01:02] sorry just want to ask what is the channel for users of apache using ubuntu as linux servers [01:02] somebody once told me that channel here === erwinnovo is now known as easyOnMe [01:03] sorry just want to ask what is the channel for users of apache using ubuntu as linux servers [01:03] somebody once told me that channel here [01:03] easyOnMe: we read you when you asked the same question as erwinnovo ;) [01:04] tomreyn: I see do you know the channel [01:05] easyOnMe: what is your question about apache? [01:06] easyOnMe: if you're referring to apache httpd, there is #httpd. if you have questions about ubuntu server, there is #ubuntu-server [01:06] !alis | easyOnMe [01:06] easyOnMe: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [01:06] leftyfb: I wanted to know a linux terminal command to show me the apache error log if the url I entered into the browser is causing errors [01:06] it was something like Catl that kind of thing but I forgot [01:06] tomreyn: yes done already [01:07] looking for it now [01:07] easyOnMe: Are you talking about you trying to go to a website that you host in your own browser or just a website on the internet that doesn't belong to you? [01:08] leftyfb: my own website on the internet [01:08] and it belongs to me [01:08] ;) [01:08] easyOnMe: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html [01:08] easyOnMe, it's probably in /var/log/ [01:08] easyOnMe: That is the official apache documentation found by googling for "apache logs" [01:09] poke around and you'll find it [01:09] 'catl' sound sa bit like 'catalina', which would be a main component of the apache tomcat java serlet container [01:09] ugh, tomcast ... ew [01:09] tomcat* [01:09] lol, I'm on the phone with comcast ... wonder how that came out :) [01:10] * tomreyn giggles [01:10] but are equally repulsive though [01:10] both* [01:17] I'm using Pop OS which is built directly on Ubuntu 18.04. I'm having terrible terrible random intermittent keyboard input lag which is driving me nuts. How can I fix this? [01:18] jaydemir: We do not support Ubuntu forks here. [01:19] jaydemir: https://system76.com/pop that's where you get support. [01:19] well they don't have an IRC and it's literally the only thing that installs on this laptop. I try to boot the Ubuntu live CD and it freezes within seconds of booting [01:19] jaydemir: contact system76 support [01:19] it's after hours [01:20] I'm willing to install ubuntu on this machine if anyone can tell me why the stupid live image freezes on boot [01:20] its an acer nitro 5 with a 5th gen intel and gtx 1050 [01:20] is the hardware just too new for it? [01:21] jaydemir: I would try the netboot installer [01:21] 8th gen intel core i5* not 5th gen === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:21] jaydemir: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [01:22] I've always wondered how netboot installers worked [01:22] flashing that now. Hopefully this keyboard issue gets fixed along with taht [01:22] is it the built in keyboard [01:22] ? [01:23] yeah built into the laptop [01:23] have you tried an external keyboard? [01:23] I've never had such keyboard lag before and I realy dont want to use windows [01:23] well you've got about 50 different options before windows [01:23] lol [01:23] Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Mint etc [01:24] thast he thing hardly anything boots on this laptop. PopOS worked because their installer has built in nvidia drivers [01:24] it's almost certainly a quirk of pop os [01:24] anything pre 17.04 just wont even load xorg [01:24] wait, it doesn't have integrated graphics as well? [01:24] what's the model of laptop [01:25] Ive combed through the options to see if I could switch to it but nothing [01:25] acer nitro 5 [01:25] dont know the exact model number off hand but its got the 8th gen intel core i5 [01:26] it was basically on sale at bestbuy and absolutely destroys my best desktop in performance [01:26] did you see this? [01:26] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2375169 [01:26] oh wait that's with the other GPU option [01:26] hold on [01:27] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1039895/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-acer-nitro-5 [01:27] the comment there has some tip [01:27] jaydemir: if you've got it booted, type: sudo dmidecode -t system|grep Product [01:27] that'll tell you the model [01:28] Nitro AN515-53 [01:29] based on the comments in that last thread it seems like I'd have better luck with Ubuntu 16 [01:29] which I have no issue with [01:29] jaydemir: I would try Ubuntu 18.04 that I linked you to [01:29] yeah. I can try that and see if I can brute my way with that F6 option or compatibility mode until I can get drivers installed [01:30] hopefully that'll do it [01:30] jaydemir: this is just false: "I know what is the problem. In ubuntu 18 you can’t install it if you have an Nvidia GPU" [01:30] jaydemir: just try the mini.iso I linked you to. Install the desktop when it asks for for packages to install [01:30] The keyboard lag doesn't happen with a USB keyboard plugged in it seems [01:30] but completely defeats the purpose of the laptop obviously. I find Pop tacky so I'm looking forward to getting something else on here [01:31] gonna go mess around with it now. Thanks guys! [01:31] Hey, I was ssh'd into a AWS machine and I was compiling something. I forgot to spin off a screen or tmux session to reattach later on. Naturally wireless dropped and now I had to log in again. This of course means that I have a new shell session and that that compilation continued in a detached shell now. Can I reattach it somehow?

[02:23] is this the correct terminal command grep "application" /var/apache2/ [02:24] !grep | easyOnMe [02:24] easyOnMe: grep is a command-line tool that finds a string in a file or a stream. Grep can be recursive through directories and searches can be simple or complex. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/grep [02:25] lotuspsychje: my objective is to find all files in a given folder like in /etc/apache2 [02:26] containing the text 'application' in the all the text files in all the subfolders for /etc/apache2 [02:26] is this terminal command correct grep "application" *.* /etc/apache2 [02:27] easyOnMe: read the url mate..use grep with a pipe | grep | ... [02:36] easyOnMe, please note *.* is a windoze hack, * equates to any character(s) followed by a fullstop, followed by any character(s). You mean "*" i'm betting (ie. any files, with & without a full stop following by 0-more characters) [02:37] sorry; *.* equates to ... typo mucked up my statement; hopefully it's still understood [02:38] guiverc: yeah I got what you mean [02:38] :) [02:38] I thought *.* means file in all file in all subdirectories of a given folder like /etc/apache2 [02:38] is there a proper fix for 18.04 resolv.conf? it's wrong on each reboot. [02:40] easyOnMe, no, you just add a `-r` to tell grep to recursively ... [02:40] strixdio: detail your full story please, ubuntu version? kernel?what happens when? [02:42] so the command should be this: grep "application" -r /etc/apache2: and it will find all the files in the subfolders in /etc/apache2/ containing the word "application" [02:42] lotuspsychje: ubuntu studio 18.04, 4.15.0-29-lowlatency, every reboot /etc/resolv.conf is not updated by dhcp. [02:42] colons not included of course [02:42] it seems like an upstream thing. [02:43] easyOnMe, structure should be "command -options parms", or `grep -r app /files` so your order isn't perfect; if using the wrong shell you'd get errors; but assuming bash you'll be okay [02:45] I am trying the suggestion from the last post on here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1750884 [02:45] Launchpad bug 1750884 in cloud-init "[2.4, bionic] /etc/resolv.conf not configured correctly in Bionic, leads to no DNS resolution" [Medium,Fix released] [02:46] didn't work. [02:47] guiverc: grep -R "application" /etc/apache2 [02:47] strixdio: did you change domains or so in resolv conf? [02:47] guiverc: is that correct now [02:47] lotuspsychje: manually changing it is fine, but again, on reboot this will happen. [02:47] strixdio: would answer #4 be usefull here? https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/18-04-how-to-force-usage-of-dns-server-assigned-by-dhcp-4175628934/ [02:48] easyOnMe, your choice; -R and -r are slight different; use whichever suits your needs [02:49] s/slight/slightly [02:49] guiverc: what is the different between the BIG R and the small r [02:49] *difference [02:49] strixdio: or this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43917463/ubuntu-keeps-losing-resolv-conf-settings [02:50] easyOnMe, `man grep` & search for -R .. or follow lotuspsychje prior suggestion of reading the posted page he provided [02:50] (difference relates to dealing/ignoring symbolic links..) [02:50] so, I really hope this doesn't come off as me being a jerk, because I totally appreciate the help... I was hoping there was an official word on the matter. I've seen plenty of "fixes" none worked, or are static and not applicable [02:51] strixdio: we trying to widen your options, if that doesnt help we advice a new !bug [02:51] strixdio: this helps yourself & the community [02:51] guiverc: got it :) [02:51] man grep is good :) [02:52] thanks fellas :) [02:52] I think it's already listed as a bug. [02:52] strixdio: could be yes, but the one you found is bit too specific, unless we find something more to the core problem [02:53] strixdio: when filing a bug, launchpad will give your dupe suggestions before filing it too, take a look? [02:53] sadly, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head does not work [02:54] Thanks for your help lotuspsychje :) [02:54] I'll take a look tomorrow. battery dying on my lappy.

I'm reading on the internet is it systemd? or upstart? [04:58] i can use terminal [04:59] BlindWiz, systemctl is a systemd command [04:59] I just compiled mosquitto mqtt broker server from srouce code and installed it, but systemctl start mosquitto doesn't seemto work... I'm trying to trace all of the places where something could be broken. [04:59] what i can do in ubuntu more ? [05:00] systemd [05:00] so upstart is no longer used in ubuntu? [05:00] i don't know but 18.10 desktop uses systemd [05:00] *18.04 [05:00] sorry [05:00] Is 18.04 up to par with 16.04 yet? [05:01] depends on your goals [05:01] 16.04 had some video issues that were fixed when i upgraded to 18.04 but this may not matter/happen for you [05:02] i know that they switched back to xorg so things like synaptic once again work [05:02] I'm using 18.04 server. I'm testing it with some lesser chritical production stuff I have, before upgrading the rest of my servers [05:03] is there a 16.04 to 18.04 upgrade guide anywhere?

[05:15] it is spelled mosquitto [05:15] weird [05:16] i just did a quick apt-get install mosquitto and then ran "service mosquitto start" followed by "ps ax | grep mosquitto" and the daemon seems to be runnign === beaver_ is now known as beaver [05:17] usbextendercable I know right.

[05:51] lotuspsychje, well, this speed issue sterted right after upgrading th kernel, but let me thinck about what other changes I did [05:52] frad: what you could do is, compare 2 kernel boots with systemd-analyze blame [05:52] frad: see, if indeed .29 lags somewhere [05:52] ok... [05:52] sudo apt install systemd-analyze?

I have a HP ProBook 430 G5 [06:26] aloo_shu: It's all bash stuff. But yeah, here's one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb#Bash [06:26] aloo_shu: Although I guess that only peels one layer off. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/understanding-bash-fork-bomb/ goes through everything [06:27] Flannel: probab.y based on how bash parses [06:27] thx [06:33] Flannel: yes, that pretty much explains it - : could be substituded for anything (not reserved) if I got tha right [06:33] aloo_shu: basically, yeah [06:36] hesell: it depends on your phardware (more preciasely, the various chipsets in there) really. in the past, many companies did not care so much about providing good linux drivers for their hardware, or just enabling others to do so. this often resulted in these chipsets consuming more power than strictly necessary and less features supporte don linux. however, this is not as much of an issue nowadays as it used to be, things are getting better. [06:36] and in fact you may get better performance and battery life on a laptop runing linux today than one running windows. [06:38] but it still dpeends much on how much these companies producing the chipsets care about making documentation and drivers available. [06:58] ugh, I have no words for the qtcreator packaging - apparently it doesnt actually REQUIRE a C++ compiler, but as a result none of the projects you'll create will work, and they won't even explicitly describe the problem, and that's just okay? And ditto for the qml/qtdeclarative thing - because who needs an IDE to actually DO anything, OOTB, or give an indication that it depends on other packages that need to be installed before it [06:58] actually does something? Ugh, 7 hours of my life. === NotLim_ is now known as NotLim [07:08] how can i install ubuntu in windows 10 withput uninstalling windows 10? [07:08] i know how to create bootable usb but how can i install it permanately [07:17] Sangeet: there are manual, and probably ubuntu.com is a good place to start. or ask when more people are awake === guiverc_d is now known as guiverc [07:33] aloo_shu: it is 1 pm here [07:34] Sangeet, you could look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation (it has a install ubuntu alongside ubuntu) [07:36] there are other guides; I didn't find the one I was looking for...

[07:53] Sangeet: so it's recommended to have it available as a recovery option [07:53] tomreyn: is it necessary or just for the precaution in the case ubuntu installation fail? [07:54] Sangeet: i just answered this. [07:54] yes...got it.. tomreyn but i dont have any backup of current os :( [07:54] hi everybody, i have installed the latest version of ubuntu on my MacBookAir 6.2 yesterday. Everything works fine but my wifi doesn't. I use the "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source". lspci | grep Wireless finds the Network controller but wifi is not listed in ifconfig -a === qwebirc66408 is now known as NoraMacBook [07:55] Sangeet: no backup, no mercy. it's not our business how you operate, but better be safe than sorry. [07:56] Sangeet, i would just write your iso to a usb-thumb drive; and use it as a 'live' system (or you could then install it to another thumb-drive); live systems are slower, but are very handy.. [07:56] got it , tomreyn [07:56] guiverc: i know about that thing but i want to install it permanantly in my laptop... [07:59] NoraMacBook: you should install broadcom-sta-dkms to have the module built automatically when you get kernel patches (security, bug fixes). i think you also need to install firmware-b43-installer. [08:00] tomreyn: thank you, i will try this now [08:08] tomreyn: Thank you very much. Now wifi works fine [08:12] all the best everyone :) [08:55] leaving === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [09:20] when using dpkg-buildpackage ./usr/share/doc/qcoan-dbg/copyright ships to the binary instead of the debug package [09:20] how to change this [09:20] i.e. can I mark files so that they belong to the debug package [09:22] hi, it missing something if I enter $tar cvf myfolder.tar myfolder/ --exclude=myfolder/mysubfolder it doesn't exlude my 'myfolder/mysubfolder' Wher I'm wrong ?

Thanks [09:46] Hello, I was trying to run apt-get update & upgrade on my ubuntu machine. I ran the following set of commands https://pastebin.com/Wm6DKNu1, initially the upgrade failed and after doing some research found that the command that I needed to run was to remove any spare kernel entries to free up some space. So I did that, re-ran upgrade and it was successful, rebooted to boot to whatever was installed, and now my system is booting t [09:47] My first instinct was to try the Boot-repair-disk, but this does not seem to be resolving it either. http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bBMttJhMh4/ [09:48] At this point, I cannot get the machine to boot back into Linux, as I assume that vmlinuz is missing from the machine and causing this problem, but I don't understand why grub cannot read the drive even though it sees the correct partition, it states it is an unknown file system [09:56] notbootinup: ugh., *nix version and all that?.. [09:59] Sorry, kgb should have mentioned that, but, it is Ubuntu 16.04.3, its a VM hosted on an Intel NUC NUC7i7BNH [09:59] That NUC is running esxi [09:59] ugh., also, btw., it used to be "apt-get update" and these days, the short is: "apt update" right?? :o [09:59] Sorry not .3, .5 [10:00] I don't know, I have always used apt-get [10:00] cool, cool, makes no diff. just sayin' [10:01] I have console acces via esxi, but can't copy and paste in betwen those windows, so everything will have to be typed by hand if you have any recommendations, but, so far chroot'ing has not been successful, and neither has dpkg --configure on any specific packages that boot-repair-disk mentions [10:01] https://askubuntu.com/questions/934689/broken-kernel-packages-preventing-install-update I am close to trying this to see if I can boot back up, but before I do this, I was hoping for some insight before I go further and mess anything else up [10:04] ah, it's gonna be fine!..:) just, somebody needs 2 figure it out [10:05]
