| jayjo | I have 2 screens and one is rotated, now when I have my dock on the bottom the dash application search doesn't open. The dock still works just the "search for applications" does not work | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jayjo | I see a post on askubuntu that mentions editing the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file, but I don't seem to have one | 00:03 |
| jayjo | although using cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager shows /usr/sbin/lightdm | 00:05 |
| jayjo | so actually 2 problems, help on either would be appreciated. Also after the rotation I can't seem to rotate my login screen | 00:09 |
| jayjo | is it possible that I use lightdm for some things but not specifically the login screen? or will it handle all if it's the default display manager | 00:11 |
| backnforth | How do I automatically update my ubuntu 18.04 vps? | 00:13 |
| jayjo | if my bar is working fine on the bottom of my screen, but searches do not show any content, does that mean anything in particular? I've seen some things saying it could be auto-starts failing? | 00:22 |
| illuminated | what is the recommended way of installing .deb files? gdebi or software center? | 00:23 |
| leftyfb | illuminated: dpkg | 00:24 |
| jayjo | can't seem to figure that out, going to move on. One last question - with two displays, what's the easiest way to conditionally set the resolution for the monitor? Right now because the rotated one seems to set the resolution, and then the standard horizontal monitor background image is very low resolution (the rest of the gui is fine) | 00:33 |

| Doow | What's the best way to back up my system config, should I just do put /etc in a regular backup / VCS repository or is that considered "bad"? | 06:40 |
| Doow | Or maybe I'n missing a lot of important things in that case? | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: most of your data & configs are stored in /home | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: depending how deep you want to backup of course? | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | !backup | Doow | 06:44 |
| ubottu | Doow: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:44 |
| Doow | lotuspsychje, good point, I'm backing up data already, this is just about config. But there are a lot of dot-files and directories in my home that I'd miss. | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: did you look in all the hidden folders in your /home? | 06:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: is there a reason you plan this backup? moving to LTS or so? | 06:46 |
| Doow | lotuspsychje, depends on what you mean. I know they're there and I regularly modify parts of them, but I haven't looked in _all_ of them =) | 06:46 |
| grr12314 | theres no need to look, as long as you backup your full home | 06:47 |
| ducasse | Doow: i keep an 'etc' directory in my homedir where i place copies of all the files i've changed under /etc, then simply back up my entire homedir | 06:47 |
| Doow | lotuspsychje, no specific reason other than I want to keep track of things in case something happens (failed harddrive, ransomware, fat fingers,...) | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: ok roger | 06:49 |
| Doow | ducasse, I think I'll add a symlink to /etc in my projects folder and then put that in a repository. That way I can keep the .git stuff out of the actual /etc. That way I get both versioning and backup (since I already backup my git repos). | 06:53 |
| ducasse | Doow: remember that not everything under /etc is readable by a normal user | 06:54 |
| Doow | Yeah, I'll have to ignore some files, don't want my password hashes or certificates out there in the wild =) | 06:55 |
| grr12314 | hi, why did ubuntu change the real rename to non-standard rename.ul and not give the option to use it by its standard name? | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Doow: in my opinion a good backup is an external media, organized into categorys. the moment you create a new config for a package you worked on long time= copy right away into your external category and avoid afterward pains | 06:56 |

| geirha | see what secure_path is set to | 07:36 |

| geirha | give the sudoers manual a read first. It's dangerous to edit these files if you're not prepared for the consequences. You can easily be left with no root access if you get it wrong | 07:39 |
| linuxnoob | run a command | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | so run it | 07:39 |
| linuxnoob | i have to run it as sudo | 07:39 |

| linuxnoob | but my path is not secure | 07:39 |
| linuxnoob | ./vmware-install.pl | 07:40 |
| geirha | and it needs to run some vmware commands you have installed in a non-standard location? | 07:40 |

| geirha | at least not sudo's PATH | 07:42 |
| ConsoleFx | Hi All, I am trying to use a directive e.g. UseDNS no against Ubuntu 16.04. Once the config change is done and when I restart the ssh daemon, ssh doesn't restart. When I remove the line UseDNS no, everything is back to normal. Shall I assume UseDNS no doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04? | 07:43 |
| geirha | linuxnoob: what does printf '%s\n' "$PATH" say, and why are you using sh instaed of bash? | 07:44 |
| linuxnoob | what is sh and what is bash? | 07:44 |
| linuxnoob | i have a # | 07:44 |
| linuxnoob | shell? | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | is sh terminal shell? | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | fuck you guys and your acronyms | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | wow | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | yes | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | you can leave with that attitude | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | i know NOTHING | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | YOU ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO CAN BARELY READ | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | maybe go to the library and learn that first | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | AND YOU DROP SH AND BASH LIKE IT IS EVEN IN MY VOCABULARY | 07:45 |
| linuxnoob | no | 07:46 |
| Ben64 | you're coming in here being incredibly rude for no reason | 07:46 |
| geirha | so you're already root, then you don't need sudo, but you've gained root priviliges with a shell not meant for interactive use, and apparently without the usual environment, somehow | 07:46 |
| Ben64 | we don't work for you dude | 07:46 |
| geirha | how did you become root? | 07:46 |
| linuxnoob | sorry ben | 07:47 |
| Ben64 | not even running ubuntu | 07:47 |
| linuxnoob | its just I've been trying to run a simple .pl file for nearly over an hour now | 07:47 |
| geirha | If this is ubuntu, you've done something really weird to get to the point you're at now | 07:48 |
| geirha | We'd need to know what | 07:49 |
| linuxnoob | printf '%s\n' "$PATH" shows /svin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:system/xbin | 07:49 |
| ducasse | linuxnoob: which release is this? | 07:49 |
| linuxnoob | i need a command to tell you stuff | 07:50 |
| linuxnoob | winver like | 07:50 |
| ducasse | 'cat /etc/issue' | 07:50 |
| geirha | this looks more like android | 07:51 |
| Ben64 | with the /system yeah | 07:51 |
| linuxnoob | is this not linux? | 07:51 |
| linuxnoob | i thought it was | 07:52 |
| geirha | android is linux, yes, but it's not ubuntu. Completely different operating systems | 07:52 |
| linuxnoob | so, android doesn't run on linux? | 07:52 |
| ducasse | android is linux-based, but it's certainly not ubuntu | 07:52 |
| geirha | that only happen to use the same kernel | 07:52 |
| linuxnoob | so, I'm in the wrong place? | 07:52 |
| linuxnoob | crap | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | sorry guys | 07:53 |
| ducasse | if you can tell us what os this is, we can tell you where to get help | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | my bad | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | it's android | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | running on vmware | 07:53 |
| Ben64 | should always definitely start asking for help with what you're running | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | running on windows | 07:53 |
| linuxnoob | running on dos | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | i'll save you some time and tell you to give up on vmware-tools on android | 07:54 |
| linuxnoob | why? | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | it'll never work | 07:54 |
| linuxnoob | harsh | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | factual | 07:54 |
| linuxnoob | still harsh | 07:54 |

| Rory_Scrum | how to make ubuntu behave like windows ? | 09:14 |
| Ool | Rory_Scrum: you want to pay to have it ? | 09:17 |
| feodoran | what do you mean by "behave like windows"? | 09:18 |
| milp | hi, can anyone recommend me a simple cpu/memory/system (no gfx) benchmarking tool where i can compare results and hardware specs online? | 09:18 |
| Rory_Scrum | i mean, invade me privacy, force updates on me when you dont expect them, and have a half baked ui that doesnt know if its meant for a tablet or a pc | 09:20 |
| Rory_Scrum | joke.. just use more exe file and less terminal commands would be good | 09:21 |
| feodoran | you could set up some cronjobs to upload logfiles and do the updates | 09:21 |
| Rory_Scrum | a cronjob sounds nasty | 09:23 |
| Ool | Rory_Scrum: don't use .exe is easy :) | 09:23 |
| Rory_Scrum | but i like using .exe | 09:23 |
| Ool | Rory_Scrum: and you can do a lot of thinks without a terminal | 09:23 |
| Ool | so use windows | 09:24 |
| Rory_Scrum | i do | 09:24 |
| easyOnMe | anyone has used python in their ubuntu | 09:25 |
| Rory_Scrum | not sure if its even compatible easy | 09:26 |
| TJ- | easyOnMe: Ubuntu uses Python for lots of system activity | 09:26 |
| llutz | Rory_Scrum: to get your .exe :find /{,usr/,usr/local/}bin -perm 0755 -exec ln -l {} {}.exe \; | 09:28 |
| llutz | ln -s even | 09:28 |
| Rory_Scrum | come on now llutz. i cant understand htat. is it python ? | 09:29 |
| easyOnMe | TJ-: I see | 09:29 |
| feodoran | Rory_Scrum: paste into your terminal, and it will search executables and create a link with ".exe" append to them. | 09:31 |
| Rory_Scrum | wats he exact command please | 09:32 |
| Rory_Scrum | will paste it | 09:32 |
| feodoran | find /{,usr/,usr/local/}bin -perm 0755 -exec ln -l {} {}.exe \; | 09:32 |
| feodoran | but it is not a very useful thing to do ... | 09:33 |
| llutz | feodoran: its not useful at all, | 09:33 |
| Rory_Scrum | invalid opotion, try ln- halp for more..' | 09:33 |
| Rory_Scrum | it sok... | 09:33 |
| Rory_Scrum | im tired | 09:33 |
| Rory_Scrum | i need to go lay down | 09:33 |
| Rory_Scrum | rory scrum out | 09:34 |
| easyOnMe | how do know whether I have installed python 3 on ubuntu 16.04LTS | 09:37 |
| geirha | python3 -V | 09:38 |
| easyOnMe | geirha: thanks | 09:40 |
| easyOnMe | does pip work in ubuntu | 09:41 |
| guiverc | easyOnMe, yep (pip) | 09:41 |
| feodoran | or pip3 | 09:42 |
| pc_magas | Greeding community. Do you know how I can locate the modules loaded in a kernel from a device provided via lspci? | 09:45 |
| pc_magas | I want to tacle the issue where no wireless interface is shown in ifconfig for my w-fi card. | 09:46 |
| llutz | pc_magas: lspci -k | 09:46 |
| ehw | pc_magas: lspci -k will show you that | 09:46 |
| llutz | pc_magas: tried ifconfig -a (if iface just was down)? | 09:47 |
| pc_magas | llutz, yes I tried the lspci -a and the interface is not shown on ubuntu 16.04LTS. | 09:49 |
| xeno | hi, apt-get install -y apache2 in 18.04 manages to still go interactive - how can I avoid it? | 09:52 |
| TvL2386 | pc_magas: I'd also check `dmesg` to see if your wireless card is listed/seen | 09:52 |
| pc_magas | The issue is that I have Ubuntu 16.04 with a broadcom wi-fi chipset with the proriatery driver installed and suddenly the wireless interface went missing from ifconfig -a. | 09:52 |
| pc_magas | TvL2386, how I can filter it out via a specific id from lspci | 09:53 |
| pc_magas | ? | 09:53 |
| TvL2386 | pc_magas: I don't really know.... For my laptop I see the following in `dmesg`: [ 65.601435] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) | 09:54 |
| TvL2386 | pc_magas: and in lspci -k : 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) | 09:54 |
| TvL2386 | pc_magas: this is not my forte, so what do you mena with sepcific id? I'm inclined to say `dmesg | grep ....` or something, but I don't think that's what you're lookig for | 09:55 |
| llutz | TvL2386 pc_magas : filter by pci-id, your card e.g. 02:00.0 | 09:56 |
| TvL2386 | I just did `dmesg | less` and searched for "wifi" :) | 09:56 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: "lspci -nn -d::0280" should show only Wireless Network class devices | 10:00 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: but it depends on if Broadcom followed the standards! | 10:01 |
| pc_magas | The driver is loaded and seems to be recognized by kernel as well: https://pastebin.com/W3md3Bdu | 10:02 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nn; ip link show; iwconfig )" | 10:03 |
| pc_magas | So the issue is why the network manager fails to assign an interface to the loaded broadcom interface. I wonder how network manager assigns interfaces to a specific card? | 10:03 |
| pc_magas | TJ- the results of the commands provided https://pastebin.com/xVPr2zc7 | 10:08 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: did the PC do a suspend/resume sometime before the interface disappeared? | 10:09 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: better show us the complete dmesg: "pastebinit <(dmesg)" | 10:09 |
| Bazman | I removed the gpu but now when I boot the computer gets stuck in another loop: When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back. | 10:09 |
| Bazman | I tried the work around where you type Ctrl-Alt_F2 but you need to know your login name for that method and I don't (only the password) | 10:10 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, i guess because sometimes when it going to shut down it suspends and does not shut down | 10:11 |
| Bazman | I know that there is a method to find your login name by booting into recovery mode but my keyboard and mouse don't work on the recovery mode GUI so I'm pretty stuck | 10:11 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: there may be issues with the device being rediscovered on resume from suspend, due to ACPI problems, but the dmesg will tell us | 10:12 |
| Bazman | It is still possible to login and repair the system or is reinstalling the only option? | 10:12 |
| SimonNL | Bazman: whats been shown at your prompt | 10:12 |
| TJ- | Bazman: how can you not know your login name? is it set to autologin? | 10:12 |
| pc_magas | TJ- https://pastebin.com/rcEcAbWx | 10:13 |
| pc_magas | Here is the dmesg | 10:13 |
| pc_magas | Bazman, when you boot into recovery mode does you allow you to have access to a recovery console? | 10:14 |
| Bazman | TJ: This is a new build the user name si some variation of my name but I've tried various permutations but can't seem to find the right one | 10:14 |
| TvL2386 | pc_magas: TJ-: I'm also having a problem with my wifi. Sometimes it's missing. It happens very rarely and have never looked into it, but the following resolves it: `sudo rmmod iwlmvm iwlwifi ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi`. This is a workaround... Maybe something like this works for you as well pc_magas | 10:15 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: have you been using an external USB wifi adapter ? | 10:15 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, well as a backup I used external wi-fi adapter but after the error with inline broadcom occurs | 10:16 |
| TJ- | TvL2386: that won't help because pc_magas PC has a Broadcom device, not Intel | 10:16 |
| TvL2386 | yeah he'll need to put his own drivers in there | 10:16 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: right, I'm just confirming it so I don't follow the wrong trail in dmesg. That device shows up as wlx00e1b012aaa2 | 10:16 |
| pc_magas | Yes that is the external wifi interface used as a backup/temporary solution. | 10:17 |
| daum | in ubuntu 16 i'm trying to add a second ip address from a completely different block to my NIC via ip addr add xxxxx/xx dev em3 , ip addr show em3 shows it but then when i try to ping it or reach it from any external device it fails. what ist he best way to troubleshoot this | 10:17 |
| Bazman | SimonNL: After typing Ctrl-Alt-F2 is shows hp-desktop login: | 10:18 |
| SimonNL | ctrl+alt, t does that show terminal ? | 10:18 |
| SimonNL | does on mnt | 10:18 |
| SimonNL | mint* | 10:18 |
| TvL2386 | daum: it probably works just fine, but depending of where you are pinging it from, rp_filter may be causing issues, or maybe firewalls don't like it because you'll probably only have a default gateway | 10:19 |
| TvL2386 | daum: if you ping that ip from another host in the same subnet, it should respond | 10:19 |
| TvL2386 | daum: assuming your host isn't blocking the ping with iptables or something | 10:19 |
| SimonNL | simon@simon-MS-7327 ~ $ shows my username in front | 10:19 |
| Bazman | unfortunately Ctrl+Alt+t does nothing in Ubuntu 18.04 | 10:21 |
| daum | TvL2386, ah right you are i added another ip to another server on the same subnet and it can ping the other servers ip | 10:21 |
| SimonNL | Bazman: maybe a launcher on your panel | 10:21 |
| daum | TvL2386, how can i get it setup so that i can actually get to it from outside of the asme subnet | 10:21 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: I suspect this may be because the broadcom driver failed to build after a kernel upgrade. Let's check that. By the way "pastebinit" is a command on your PC - you can copy-paste everything inside the " marks here: "pastebinit <( lspci -nnvvvk -d 14e4:4365; ls -latr /usr/src; ls -latr /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/ )" | 10:22 |
| TvL2386 | daum: well, with multihomed servers it is always a problem to determine routing. | 10:22 |
| Bazman | Sorry can you elaborate (Launcher on my panel)? | 10:22 |
| SimonNL | Bazman: can you start up you terminal ? | 10:22 |
| TvL2386 | daum: normally you have a management interface/ip and a "normal ip". The normal ip has a default gateway and the management ip only has specific routes | 10:22 |
| TvL2386 | daum: I don't know what you exactly want | 10:22 |
| TvL2386 | daum: how should the server behave :) | 10:23 |
| TJ- | daum: the problem is the remote devices don't have a route added to reach the PC | 10:23 |
| Bazman | Not with the methods I have tried so far | 10:23 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, not installed and is not my compotuter to install it. | 10:23 |
| Bazman | I can get into GRUB | 10:23 |
| TvL2386 | TJ-: daum yeah good point... simply adding an ip to a host won't make it magically routable | 10:23 |
| SimonNL | Bazman: from the menu maybe | 10:23 |
| TJ- | daum: e.g. if your LAN is 192.16.0.0/24 and the PC is 192.168.0.100 and you've added 10.1.1.0/24 to it, then for all other 192.168.0.0/24 PCs they need to do "sudo ip route add 10.1.1.0/24 via 192.168.0.100" | 10:24 |
| TJ- | daum: typo, if your LAN is 192.168.0.0/24 ...! | 10:24 |
| Bazman | Its a dual boot machine when I chose OS I can chose to boot into recovery mode, from there I can boot into GRUB command line | 10:25 |
| TJ- | daum: in the alternative, because all those other PCs will send packets for 10.1.1.0/24 to the default gateway then you could add the route to the default gateway instead, which is easier since you only need to do it on the gateway, not on the PCs | 10:26 |
| SimonNL | Bazman: sorry I'm not able to help you | 10:26 |
| Bazman | OK thanks anyway | 10:26 |
| SimonNL | good luck | 10:26 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, https://pastebin.com/vgfr1WY0 | 10:26 |
| Bazman | Is only option to delete reinstall? | 10:26 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: OK, well pastebin the results of those commands. You know we have http://paste.ubuntu.com to use? preferable to pastebin.com | 10:26 |
| TvL2386 | TJ-: daum: I'm curious as to why you would want to add this ip to an interface. It's not really good practice to have multiple ip spaces in a single layer2 domain | 10:27 |
| war10ck_ | What's your issue Bazman | 10:27 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, i did not know that | 10:27 |
| daum | TJ-, thanks. So my situation is the IP we're adding is going to be removing in your example the 192.168.0.X ip once we can test that the 10.1.1.0 IP is properly functioning, so if i add that route wouldn't i need to change it to then route through that ips gateway? | 10:27 |
| daum | TvL2386, ^ | 10:27 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: oh good, that info shows no driver is loaded, and that in /usr/src/ we have the module "bcmwl-6.30.223.271+bdcom" that should be built by DKMS, but there is no module in the ./updates/dkms/ directory for the currently running kernel, which suggests it failed to build | 10:28 |
| daum | I see in my current /etc/network/interfaces I have a post-up ip route add default via XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX dev em3 table 101 where the XXX is the current em3 IP's gateway | 10:29 |
| TJ- | daum: if you're changing the IP and removing the standard LAN IP then you'd need to add another 10.1.1.x subnet to the gateway so it has say 10.1.1.1 and the PC has say 10.1.1.2 - that way the gateway will know how to route packets correctly | 10:29 |
| Bazman | warl0ck:I did fresh dual boot install everything was fine then I tried to install drivers for the GPU (nVidia 384.90) and after that the PC won't boot I just get the same error looping [ OK ] Started NVIDIA Persistence Daemon. Stopping NVIDIA Persistence Daemon... | 10:30 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, so via modprobe bcmwl-6.30.233.271+bdcom should do the job right? | 10:30 |
| TJ- | daum: that "table 101" sounds like it's configured to use "Policy Based Routing Tables" | 10:30 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 so the goal is to basically get the new IP up and functioning, make sure it is reachable from external servers, then we will remove the old IP on that interface | 10:30 |
| Bazman | warlock: I removed the gpu but now when I boot the computer gets stuck in another loop: When I login, the screen gets black and soon after that the login screen comes back. | 10:30 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: no, there is no module, we need to find out why it failed to be built. Hang on whilst I gather the commands to check that | 10:30 |
| daum | TJ-, # ip route show table all|grep 101 | 10:30 |
| daum | default via xxx.xxx.xxx.xx dev em3 table 101 | 10:30 |
| Bazman | warlock: I tried the work around where you type Ctrl-Alt_F2 but you need to know your login name for that method and I don't (only the password) | 10:31 |
| TvL2386 | TJ-: daum: what does `ip rule show` say? | 10:31 |
| Bazman | warlock: I know that there is a method to find your login name by booting into recovery mode but my keyboard and mouse don't work on the recovery mode GUI so I'm pretty stuck | 10:31 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: show us "pastebinit <( uname -a; dkms status )" | 10:31 |
| war10ck_ | What version of ubuntu do you have ? | 10:32 |
| TJ- | Bazman: is it USB keyboard/mouse ? | 10:32 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 here is ip rule show: http://dpaste.com/03BJ6K3 | 10:33 |
| Bazman | Warlock: ubuntu 18.04 | 10:33 |
| Bazman | TJ: yes they are USB also they work in the regular Ubuntu login screen | 10:33 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GpBSfYZqBZ/ | 10:33 |
| zigbee1 | Hi I want to run a script possibly with cron at a time each day but if this system is down and it hasnt yet run, run it then | 10:34 |
| TvL2386 | daum: what was the problem again? Server is not pingable on it's new ip? | 10:35 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: Bingo! there's the problem! "added" should be "installed" - but it presumably failed to build so couldn't be installed. so we'll try to build it and collect the failure log if any, with "sudo dkms install bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom" | 10:35 |
| TvL2386 | daum: is it possible the server that is trying is not using the source ip you are expecting? | 10:35 |
| daum | TvL2386, it's pingable from within the same subnet, but outside of it isn't reacahble | 10:35 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: if it fails you'll see a message with the path to the build directory and a build log file. We'll need to pastebin that log file contents | 10:36 |
| TvL2386 | daum: your "from xxxx/27" rule is only hit when the source ip is in that subnet. When another host pings xxxx, what source ip does it use? Does the gateway know how to get to xxxx/27? | 10:36 |
| TJ- | daum: pingable when the pinging PC is added to the same subnet? or pingable even from a PC in the default LAN subnet? | 10:36 |
| TvL2386 | same subnet | 10:37 |
| milp | hi, can anyone recommend me a simple cpu/memory/system (no gfx) benchmarking tool where i can compare results and hardware specs online? | 10:37 |
| daum | TvL2386, TJ- only pingable when the pinging PC also is added to the same subnet | 10:37 |
| TJ- | if the pinging PC is the same (new) subnet on the same LAN then the ARP requests will find the target | 10:37 |
| Bazman | warl0ck TJ: I can get access to the GRUB command line it that's any help | 10:38 |
| daum | TvL2386, my guess is is what you described with the gateway is the problem, I just am not sure how to add a specific gateway for the new IP | 10:38 |
| TJ- | daum: right, so as we said earlier, the gateway needs to be in the same subnet | 10:38 |
| TvL2386 | daum: on your router you should add an ip that your hosts can use to route | 10:38 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 yep there is one already setup | 10:39 |
| TJ- | daum: and can the gateway ping the target too? | 10:39 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 so if this machine is XX.XX.XX.66/27, the gateway is XX.XX.XX.65 | 10:39 |
| daum | TJ-, I don't have access to the router itself unfortunately | 10:39 |
| daum | the server can ping the gateway | 10:40 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JY9QNST8r9/ | 10:40 |
| daum | so my guess is i need to do something like my default via XXX similar to what i already did on the interface | 10:40 |
| TJ- | Bazman: if you edit the GRUB menu entry at boot-time (pressing 'e' when the entry is highlighted) you can add "init=/bin/bash" to the end of the line that starts "linux ..." then press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot with that. It'll boot to a bash shell as root, where you can then do "ls /home/" and see what user home directory names are, or you can find from the passwd file with "tail /etc/passwd" | 10:41 |
| TvL2386 | daum: first thing I would do on your dualhomed server is run tcpdump to see if echo requests arrive | 10:41 |
| TvL2386 | daum: second thing: mtr from the pinging host | 10:41 |
| daum | TvL2386, TJ- fyi this is the full interface config for em3 before I started adding this new ip | 10:42 |
| daum | http://dpaste.com/1233ZQZ | 10:42 |
| TJ- | daum: if packets for XXX.67 are to be forwarded/routed by gateway at XXX.65 then firewall rules need to ensure that subnet can be FORWARDed at the least | 10:42 |
| daum | TvL2386, ok - will do , will look to see how to get tcpdump up and running only listening for pings since if i listen to all traffic it's going to pick up the regular inbound requests | 10:43 |
| TvL2386 | daum: tcpdump -i em3 -nn icmp | 10:43 |
| TvL2386 | daum: can also do: tcpdump -i em3 -nn net xxxx/27 | 10:44 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 would this be much simpler if I could basically replace that entire section for em3 with the new ip info + gateway, so that it isn't dual homed? I may be able to do that as we ahve other servers which can pick up the traffic | 10:44 |

| TJ- | pc_magas: so, I wwas correct - the DKMS build of the bcmwl module is failing with the current kernel. This is often a problem with proprietary/out-of-mainline-tree kernel modules. The mainline code evolves but the modules aren't kept up to date so fail to build | 10:44 |
| TvL2386 | daum: yeah renumbering subnets is much easier as a big bang than what you are trying to do now | 10:45 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, so I will need to install and built it manually right? | 10:45 |
| TvL2386 | daum: pbr (policy based routing) is complex. You need to think about how to answer, but also how to submit. Who initiates and who responds and how are source ip addresses selected on both end | 10:45 |
| daum | alrighty let me try that | 10:45 |
| TJ- | daum: dual-homing won't affect it, but I think TvL2386 was pointing in the correct direction about using policy routing because it's conditional. | 10:46 |
| TJ- | daum: I'd think a route in the main table should be all the PC needs, knowing to route via the gateway XXX.65 | 10:46 |
| TJ- | daum: right now you could have the situation where packets arrive at .67 and the policy acts on those INPUTs but then there's no OUTPUT rule so the outgoing packets originate on the 192.168.0.x address, not the XXX.67, so the far end drops them | 10:48 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: No, you need to find/install updated source package that has the fixes | 10:48 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, like this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers#60395 | 10:49 |

| Bazman | tJ: I typed it with a space and no quotation marks (was that correct), there were a lot of output to the screen but it's stopped not and does not appear to be doing anything | 10:49 |

| TJ- | pc_magas: what does "apt list bcmwl-kernel-source" report ? | 10:49 |

| TvL2386 | good luck daum and you're welcome! | 10:50 |
| TJ- | Bazman: the idea is it doesn't start systemd init daemon, it runs just the bash shell so no services get started | 10:51 |

| pc_magas | TJ-, so terporaly use the USB wi-fi untill it gets fixed right? | 10:54 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: I'm afraid so yes, I'll try to find out if there's a developer that is supposed to maintain that | 10:54 |
| pc_magas | I wonder if in Ubuntu 18.04LTS the prob exists... | 10:56 |
| pc_magas | If I downgrade the kernel will this prob temporaly get fixed? | 10:56 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: another option is to temporaily boot with one of the older kernels in the GRUB Advanced sub-menu | 10:56 |
| pc_magas | Eg use an older one | 10:56 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: snap :) | 10:56 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: try the oldest see if it is OK. It may be that too many kernel upgrades have occurred and all the installed kernels cause the same issue | 10:57 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: The 4.15 kernel is from 18.04 so it will. You're using the 16.04 HWE kernel I presume | 10:57 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, yes | 10:58 |
| Bazman | TJ warl0ck: Is the only remaining option to format/reinstall? | 11:03 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: I've alerted the #ubuntu-kernel team and -devel too; hopefully someone will respond | 11:03 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, thank you | 11:04 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, I also will mark as "It affects me" in launchpad as well | 11:04 |
| TJ- | Bazman: hmmm, instead of editing the GRUB menu, go into its "Advanced" submenu and try booting into recovery with the oldest kernel version listed there - usually at the end of the list | 11:05 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: thanks :) | 11:05 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 11:05 |

| lapion | For some reason an 16.04.5 lts to 18.04.1 lts upgrade is not possible yes. | 11:06 |
| TJ- | lapion: correct, the met-release-lts file on changelogs.u.c hasn't been updated as yet | 11:06 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, well I gave the laptop back to its owner and told him it was a bug that someone else fixes it and you''ll need to use the USB wi-fi | 11:07 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: Ahhh... I wish I could do that with the bugs I hit :p | 11:07 |
| lapion | Okay thanks TJ- | 11:07 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, should I post the pastebin errors to the bug in launchpad as well? | 11:08 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: no, the bug report contains the same info already | 11:08 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 ok so I basically swapped out my entire em3 section and the post-up add... with the ip settings, however doing ifdown em3 and ifup em3 keeps bringing back the original ip settings, does it not re-read the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 11:08 |
| pc_magas | TJ-, next time I will try to avoid using broadcom (I think switching to atheros should be a good long-term maintainance option) | 11:09 |
| TJ- | daum: if you're still using ifupdown package you may need to use "ifdown --force ..." if you've been playing about with things manually... and that assumes you have matching down scripts for all the up scripts | 11:11 |
| pc_magas | Usually atheros kernel modules are in kernel right? | 11:11 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: yes, broadcom is a pain | 11:11 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: yes | 11:11 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: same with Intel | 11:11 |
| Bazman | TJ: After pressing 'e' the only options are F10 to boot, F2 for command line, Esc to discard changes and return to previous menu (there is nothing that mentions advances) | 11:11 |
| daum | TJ-, wasn't aware there was a better way to cycle the interface, just trying to make sure that if the server reboots basically the same settings will come back | 11:12 |
| pc_magas | In laptops usually wi-fi use the same pci-express layout right? | 11:12 |
| === varesa_ is now known as varesa| | ||
| TJ- | Bazman: press Esc to return to the menu, then navigate the menu to the Advanced sub-menu :) | 11:12 |
| TJ- | Bazman: I didn't intend you to press 'e' on this occassion but forgot to mention it | 11:13 |
| TJ- | pc_magas: generally, although I've seen some use internal USB or even SDIO! | 11:13 |
| Bazman | TJ: There are only two options Ubuntu with Linux 1.15.0-29-generic and Ubuntu with Linux 1.15.0-29-generic (recovery mode). The first has the login problem the second the non responsive keyboard/mouse problem | 11:17 |
| Bazman | TJ: no worries about the e I really appreciate your help! | 11:17 |
| Bazman | TJ: The other think about the recovery mode GIU is that although it's unsresponsive to keyboard/mouse after a while the screen starts to go crazy printing loads of random commands all over the screen like "Starting Tell Plymouth to Write Out Runtime Data..." | 11:20 |
| daum | TJ-, ah had to do ip addr flush em3, then restarted networking, it shows up in ifconfig however still not reachable from external ips. On pings tcpdump shows them incoming but i don't get any response | 11:20 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 so i would guess somehow i'm still having the gateway issue? | 11:20 |
| daum | TJ-, TvL2386 ahh it looks like my ip rule show still shows the old lookup 32765: from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/27 lookup 101 , where XXX is the old gateway rather than new | 11:24 |

| Anticom | Hey guys. I'm looking for a RDP client that's capable to do the volume mount thing that the windows client can do | 11:38 |
| Anticom | I've used Remmina before but it doesn't have to have such an option | 11:38 |
| Anticom | Any recommendations? | 11:38 |
| Bazman | TJ: Does this mean format/reinstall is only option left? | 11:41 |
| MasterPiece | Anticom, use remmina of the remote host is windows and the client is ubuntu | 11:43 |
| === Guest74322 is now known as Katnip- | ||
| TvL2386 | MasterPiece: he specifically states that Remmina does not fulfill his requirements | 11:44 |
| MasterPiece | TvL2386, So there is a misconfiguration in remmina, I'm using remmina right now for this type of req | 11:45 |
| Anticom | MasterPiece: I've said that i need to be able to pass a volume to the remote host which the native windows rdp client can do | 11:46 |
| Anticom | MasterPiece: So if you know of that option in Remmina let me know, otherwise don't recommend it to me ;) | 11:47 |
| TvL2386 | MasterPiece: I'm not familiar with advanced settings of the Windows RDP client, so I don't know what you mean with "the volume mount thing". I only know that with Remmina you get a \\tsclient thing | 11:47 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: never used it myself. Problem is my current company is all-in on the windows thing | 11:47 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: ^ meant for you | 11:47 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: was assuming that, that's why i responded ;) | 11:48 |
| Anticom | even our servers are running windows and there's no ftp server / openssh installed so i have to deploy stuff using rdb | 11:48 |
| TvL2386 | yeah sorry ;) | 11:48 |
| Anticom | i know this sucks yada yada, i can't change it so i have to deal with it | 11:48 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: sounds like you need to update your linkedin profile | 11:48 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: ? | 11:48 |
| TvL2386 | to attract new employers :) | 11:48 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: hahaha :D | 11:49 |
| Anticom | well we're about to move away from this BS and move to linux servers | 11:49 |
| Anticom | and i'm hoping to aid bringing that change | 11:49 |
| Anticom | so all in all it's good over here | 11:49 |
| TvL2386 | oh stay then :) Might be interesting :) | 11:49 |
| Anticom | yup | 11:49 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: I've introduced ansible here with the winrm stuff... Can now use ansible to manage Windows servers | 11:50 |
| Anticom | So back to my original question: I don't know either what's happening there exactly since i've never used that feature myself | 11:50 |
| TvL2386 | it's quite ok | 11:50 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: I've suggested that to our admin already. However currently we've got a lot of temporary stress so it's postponed for now | 11:50 |
| Anticom | Btw this is the feature i'm talking about: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/brendangrant/2009/02/17/the-most-useful-feature-of-remote-desktop-i-never-knew-about/ | 11:51 |
| Anticom | Is XRDP still a thing? It sucked a few years ago but iirc it had plenty of features | 11:52 |
| TvL2386 | but Anticom, in those scrshots they are sharing resources (which you refer to as volumes, I guess you mean D:\ for example) | 11:52 |
| TvL2386 | but that is not D:\ in the remote host | 11:52 |
| Bazman | If I do go down format/reinstall route there is an option to do this using the boot disk/ but that only seems to format the root drive should I also format the home and swap drives as well to make sure the dodgy drivers are removed and so that I can set up a new user profile | 11:53 |
| TvL2386 | that "D on BREND...." is not a drive on the remote host right | 11:53 |
| TvL2386 | so how does that differ from sharing folders using remmina? | 11:53 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: as far as i understood it you can share a local volume with the remote host which gets mounted | 11:53 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: there's no such thing as a "local volume" on linux | 11:53 |
| Anticom | TvL2386: well i was imagining that you where able to give the remote machine a directory on your local system etc. | 11:54 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: and defined "mounted on the remote system" | 11:54 |
| Anticom | which would be mounted as "a drive" on the remote host | 11:54 |
| Anticom | kind of a reversed mount | 11:54 |
| TvL2386 | I understand what you mean. I think when doing Windows to Windows RDP, you want local drive C:\ to be local drive X:\ on the remote | 11:54 |
| TvL2386 | for example | 11:54 |
| TvL2386 | but I don't think that is accomplished with the windows RDP client in those screenshots | 11:55 |
| TvL2386 | the only way to get a drive letter on the remote, is to mount a cifs share | 11:55 |
| TvL2386 | imho | 11:55 |
| TvL2386 | and I'm not an expert on that matter | 11:55 |
| fath0m | Hello. Could somebody help me to get my hybrid graphics to work on my new Dell Inspiron 15 5570? I have i5-8250U with Radeon 530 graphics. Even though I can see system recognizes gpu in xrandr, it still does not kick in when I play a game for example. | 11:56 |
| fath0m | I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 | 11:56 |
| TvL2386 | of course with remmina and the windows rdp clients (mstsc) you can share folders/drives, but they are not mounted remotely... they can be browsed remotely | 11:56 |
| TvL2386 | if that makes sense | 11:56 |
| fath0m | https://hastebin.com/yiverabega.rb output | 11:57 |
| TvL2386 | oh anticom got disconnected..... | 11:57 |
| TvL2386 | lol | 11:57 |
| Bazman | Sorry I got disconnected did anyone answer this question. If I have to format/reinstall there is an option to option to do it from the installation disk but it only seems to so it to the root partition is this sufficient to get rid of the dodgy gpu drivers and delete my current profile (because I've forgotten the login) | 12:05 |
| Bazman | Or should I format the home and swap drives as well | 12:05 |
| ducasse | Bazman: your username and password is stored in /etc, so not in your homedir. there's no data stored on the swap partition. | 12:14 |
| Bazman | tnx ducasse! so if I just use the format and reinstall option installation disk it should fix both problems right (dodgy gpu drivers and missing login) | 12:18 |
| MasterPiece | Anticom, I know what am I saying and if you have a little willness to do that, you should just search about volume mount option by remmina, That is the solution for you, If you are trying to connect from a ubuntu client to windows remote host by sharing a volume between them. END | 12:19 |
| Bazman | Ducasse: What's concerning me is this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation which says at the end that the user accounts must be re-created with the same login and password. But I have forgotten my login! | 12:19 |
| Anticom | MasterPiece: got any link / documentation on how to do this in remmina? I couldn't find anything about this | 12:19 |
| Bazman | Ducasse: Is there a reinstall process that will let me set up a completely new login and password | 12:20 |
| ducasse | Bazman: do you remember the username? the password is only necessary if you had an encrypted home | 12:21 |
| Bazman | Ducasse: unfortunately not (It's some permutation of my name but I've tried every combination I can think of but nothing works) | 12:21 |
| llutz | Bazman: why would you reinstall to recover your login? boot into single-mode, "ls -l /home" to find your login, "passwd" to give new passwd, reboot | 12:22 |
| llutz | "passwd <loginnam>" that is | 12:23 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: MasterPiece: I'm sorry, but I also cannot find any documentation of mapping some linux folder to a Drive on the remote Windows host using Remmina | 12:25 |
| TvL2386 | Anticom: MasterPiece: I can share a folder which can be accessed on the remote Windows host by going to \\tsclient in the Explorer | 12:25 |
| TvL2386 | and I think that a part of the problem is: What do we mean with "shared folder", "volume", "drive" | 12:26 |
| MasterPiece | TvL2386, Anticom see pv, I send a pic | 12:29 |
| Bazman | llutz: that works thank crunchy I'm in "minimal-ubuntu" | 12:30 |
| TvL2386 | MasterPiece: yes, that is how you share a folder. But as I recall, Anticom wants that folder to be mapped to a drive on the remote host | 12:31 |
| Bazman | llutz: I assume to delete the dodgy drivers I just use: udo apt-get purge --auto-remove libcud* sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove cuda* sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nvidia* | 12:32 |
| TvL2386 | MasterPiece: as I interpret it, he wants to access that folder by browsing to M:\ for example (`net use ...... M:\`) ?????? | 12:32 |

| TvL2386 | libgtk2.0-dev/xenial-updates 2.24.30-1ubuntu1.16.04.2 amd64 | 13:35 |
| TvL2386 | my 16.04 server has it in the repos | 13:36 |
| elisa87 | where should I write this? libgtk2.0-dev/xenial-updates 2.24.30-1ubuntu1.16.04.2 amd64 | 13:36 |
| elisa87 | TvL2386: | 13:36 |
| TvL2386 | I still don't think you are root | 13:36 |
| TvL2386 | can you execute: id | 13:36 |
| TvL2386 | uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 13:36 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: you shouldn't write that, it's just output of my `apt search libgtk2.0-dev` | 13:37 |
| TvL2386 | to show you it is in the repo | 13:37 |
| TvL2386 | but your apt-get update fails | 13:37 |
| TvL2386 | so you don't know | 13:37 |
| elisa87 | I see. | 13:37 |
| TvL2386 | You've got a permission problem | 13:37 |
| elisa87 | unfortunately everytime I run something I have to wait for queue | 13:37 |
| elisa87 | but I will tell soon :( | 13:38 |
| arpcat | Hello, I have a machine that still uses zesty... do-release-upgrade says it can't upgrade to bionic. What are my options? | 13:38 |
| TvL2386 | you do not have permission to update the apt repo and installing packages can't be done either | 13:38 |
| twainwek | friends, updates can and will break systems. it's very easy to upgrade, but much more difficult to fix a broken system because of an update. so why are auto download and install of updates enabled by default? and why is it completely transparent to the user? | 13:38 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: you referring to servers or desktops? | 13:39 |
| twainwek | desktops | 13:39 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: my 18.04 desktop always asks me | 13:39 |
| TvL2386 | like this morning, got a popup whether I wanted to install updates | 13:39 |
| twainwek | i was on a 16.04, and now i have a half broken system. never was i asked whether i want to download/install or enable auto updates | 13:40 |
| TvL2386 | and to be honest, I can't remember the last time I ended up with a broken system | 13:40 |
| twainwek | well that's great, but it does and will inevitably happen for someone else | 13:41 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: what happened? | 13:41 |
| elisa87 | TvL2386: but I am a root user in Docker how don't I have permission? | 13:41 |
| twainwek | so it's beyond me as to why anyone on earth would think it's a good idea to enable them and even worse make it transparent to the user | 13:41 |
| twainwek | and it even updated my kernel it seems | 13:41 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: true that, it will happen... so you probably have the package `unattended-upgrades` installed | 13:42 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: my opinion is that you'll need to update anyway sooner or later. This to prevent vulnerabilities... There's always a chance to bork up your system | 13:42 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: but yeah, transparently, without opt-in, is not good | 13:43 |
| TvL2386 | twainwek: I remember ubuntu server installer to ask in the end 3 questions: automatic updates, manual, or landscap | 13:43 |
| TvL2386 | I always chose manual | 13:43 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: show me you are a root user in your Docker container | 13:43 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: go into your container and type: id | 13:43 |
| elisa87 | I did still waiting for the job to fail | 13:44 |
| elisa87 | it is in starting state | 13:44 |
| twainwek | ok. thanks all. i'll try to fix it later tomorrow when i have some time | 13:44 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: mkay, how about: docker run -it myimage /bin/bash | 13:44 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: and then type: id | 13:44 |
| TvL2386 | something like that | 13:44 |
| elisa87 | I am not sure how to do that because I use a json script that runs my job | 13:45 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: is it some public image your using? How do you execute it? | 13:45 |
| elisa87 | no private image TvL2386 | 13:45 |
| TvL2386 | thought so :) | 13:45 |
| elisa87 | uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 13:46 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: okay thanks | 13:46 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: I did not expect that :) | 13:46 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: are you able to reproduce this in a way you can share? | 13:47 |
| TvL2386 | elisa87: in other words, could you give me a Dockerfile that can reproduce the issue? | 13:48 |
| elisa87 | no this private for some reasons and I cannot share TvL2386 | 13:48 |
| TvL2386 | I know that your stuff is private, but can you make a Dockerfile that does not contain sensitive data but does have the issue | 13:49 |
| TvL2386 | look, best way to get help is to give us instructions on how to reproduce | 13:49 |
| TvL2386 | so we can see it ourselves | 13:49 |
| TvL2386 | FROM ubuntu/xenial / RUN rm -rf .... && apt-get update && ....... | 13:51 |
| TvL2386 | that's not private :) | 13:51 |
| elisa87 | so I have not made the dockerfile but I am using it. I am not sure how they made it TvL2386 | 13:51 |
| elisa87 | is my command echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse' >> /etc/apt/sources.list correct? | 13:53 |
| elisa87 | and why should I exactly do rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* ? | 13:53 |
| TJ- | elisa87: I'd guess on the host it's maybe not reserved a wide enough range of sub-UID/GIDs, so when the container tries to use its internal 65534, the baseUID+65534 on the host is outside the allowed range | 13:53 |
| elisa87 | so what do you suggest TJ- as for solution? | 13:54 |
| TJ- | elisa87: I've avoided docker but it works the same way as lxc/lxd as far as namespaces etc, so check the host's /etc/sub{uid,gid} see what the range is. E.g. here, for LXD, it reserves 65536: "lxd:231072:65536" | 13:55 |
| TJ- | elisa87: if docker is reserving less than that, then it would prevent the guest from using 65534 | 13:56 |
| elisa87 | TJ-: I think I am not following you exactly. Which host are you talking about? inside the docker? my local machine? what is the exact linux command? I am not having as much information and is hard to follow the high level info | 13:56 |
| TJ- | elisa87: the host that 'hosts' the docker container | 13:57 |
| TJ- | elisa87: "cat /etc/sub{u,g}id" | 13:57 |
| elisa87 | here is the current result I get https://hastebin.com/ayoqopufic.coffeescript | 13:58 |
| TJ- | elisa87: the format is "username:start:range" | 13:58 |
| elisa87 | well, I do not have access to the host that runs the docker. I am running it remotely!! TJ- | 13:59 |
| elisa87 | how do I know on which host is it being run? | 13:59 |
| TJ- | elisa87: the README.md shows that error, and is in the context of a tool "runrootless" that avoids it. You may find some clues there. https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/runrootless | 14:01 |
| TJ- | elisa87: ahh, it's more findamental the uid/gid ranges. Read this, the section "Unmapped users and oddness" https://www.cyphar.com/blog/post/20160627-rootless-containers-with-runc | 14:04 |
| TJ- | elisa87: it seems the remote host is configured to run rootless containers (or your dockerfile is) and that breaks the Debian/Ubuntu tooling since the user is not mapped into the container | 14:08 |
| elisa87 | so, how can I fix it? TJ- | 14:09 |
| TJ- | elisa87: fix Docker I guess | 14:09 |
| TJ- | elisa87: this docker article explains it. It seems to confirm what I said about a 65536 mapped range | 14:11 |
| elisa87 | the blog does not clearly state what is the solution neither your answer feels very beginner friendly | 14:12 |
| elisa87 | I am not sure how to use https://github.com/cyphar/remainroot suggested in the aticle | 14:14 |
| TJ- | elisa87: the answer is, fix the host | 14:14 |
| TJ- | elisa87: you will need to discuss this with whoever manages the remote docker host system | 14:15 |
| elisa87 | well remote host or my own? I have nothing to do with remote host. TJ- | 14:15 |

| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: right, as I read it, those diff - (minus) entries are telling you that the version you're building (8.38-3.1 ) no longer has symbols that were in an earlier version, such as "pcrecpp::RE::Extract" and "pcrecpp::RE::GlobalReplace" - you can check that in the source | 15:15 |
| lotuspsychje | Getafix: hmm sorry i havent seen this icon before, perhaps someone else? | 15:16 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: be aware however, if symbols really have been removed, the SONAME needs to change | 15:16 |
| Lord-Kamina | I would assume the packages hosted in the ubuntu archive are not broken so I don't think they've actually been removed? | 15:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Getafix: just curious, this .iso you download was 18.04.1 ubuntu-desktop? | 15:18 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: well you've got the source-code, so check! | 15:18 |
| Getafix | @lotuspsychje: No worries mate. I will be waiting for his dmesg full log. Perhaps it will give me some more clues to help him. | 15:18 |

| Lord-Kamina | I copypasted from 8.38 because I ran grep -R on a folder where I've got several versions of pcre3 but it's also in 8.39 sorry. | 15:24 |
| Lord-Kamina | (possibly stupid) question... does dpkg invoke gcc/g++ on its own for generating the symbol files? | 15:27 |
| TJ- | Getafix: could it be VirtualBox or similar? | 15:28 |
| Lord-Kamina | Because the symbols file lives inside the package, but what could it be that during the build, one version of gcc is being used to build but another is being used to get the symbols (I don't really know how dpkg generates these) | 15:29 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: the Makefile (debian/rules) controls calling the compiler via the debhelper (dh_*) tooling | 15:30 |
| Getafix | @TJ: I doubt he dared to install VirtualBox on that one. I will ask that too, though. It was a very good thought! | 15:30 |
| MibixFox | ugh after updates can only get ubuntu to boot in to emergency mode :( | 15:30 |
| MibixFox | could a usb stick in there mess up the boot? | 15:31 |
| Lord-Kamina | After the first few tries, what I tried was forcing the compiler version by manually setting CC. CXX, etc that are passed to configure. | 15:32 |
| Getafix | @TJ, @lotuspsychje: It seems the information I currently have is too poor for further pondering on that. Thank you both for the assistance and the ideas! | 15:32 |
| MibixFox | it gets to the grub menu | 15:32 |
| TJ- | Getafix: I've not been able to find that icon anywhere | 15:32 |
| Lord-Kamina | But I wonder if that might still result in rogue calls to the default gcc when looking up the symbols. Basically that's what I'm asking. | 15:32 |
| Getafix | @TJ: Me neither. I asked him for a proper screenshot to get a clearer icon. The image he shared was a photo of the screen. | 15:33 |
| lotuspsychje | MibixFox: a little more details please? ubuntu version? updates when/how? what happens at wich point | 15:33 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: OK, so you've confirmed that Scanner::Scanner() is in the source, so now explore before and after it to see if it might be conditionally compiled via a #ifdef SOMENAME clause. If it has such, it may be the configure script didn't enable compilation of that code | 15:33 |
| ioria | Getafix, i bet on flatpack... let us know :þ | 15:33 |
| Getafix | lotuspsychje TJ ioria : I will sure revert here if I get any further. Thanx again! | 15:34 |
| MibixFox | lotuspsychje: https://imgur.com/a/PplPXUX is the error im getting on 18.04 not sure which updates havent rebooted for a month so basically all the ones in between :p | 15:35 |
| Lord-Kamina | Nope, only conditional macro in that file is an include. | 15:36 |
| ioria | MibixFox, have you checked /etc/fstab ? | 15:37 |
| MibixFox | for what | 15:37 |
| MibixFox | I think one drive is failing but its just a storage job | 15:37 |
| MibixFox | *storage drive | 15:38 |
| MibixFox | if you reload that page I added another screenshot | 15:38 |
| ioria | MibixFox, can you paste it ? | 15:38 |

| ioria | MibixFox, /etc/fstab | 15:39 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: OK, so it may be the origin of the 8.38-3.1 then. Where has that come from? It may be that its debian/xxxx.symbols file is specific to the later ubuntu release | 15:39 |
| qwebirc59955 | lotuspsychje: hey! so a kind of nasty way of getting around things here. After digging around on available options, i did a usb tether to my cell phones wifi connection to update my system. once thats done i should be able to get some things straightened out | 15:39 |

| lotuspsychje | MibixFox: the more hd's you have, the more systemd had work...if one of them fails..could be lagging like you experience | 15:55 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: have you been using the "backportpackage" tool in ubuntu-dev-tools for this? | 15:55 |
| Lord-Kamina | Hm, nope. | 15:55 |
| Lord-Kamina | Doing it by hand. | 15:56 |
| MibixFox | I can get it would take longer but why wouldnt it boot :/ | 15:56 |

| MibixFox | I guess ill just have to wait till I can get home and have physical access to try some more things | 15:56 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: might be worth using that tool, it's what the backports project uses | 15:58 |
| Lord-Kamina | I'm not running trusty (I've got a version installed but am not really using it) | 15:58 |
| Lord-Kamina | My workflow is usually pick a release, dget -xau, dch no-change-backport etc etc, debuild, dput | 15:59 |
| Lord-Kamina | It has worked for most things I've done and the past few weeks I've ported a crapload of stuff. | 16:00 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: create a trusty container using LXD, build it in there, maybe? | 16:00 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: have you compared your local build log with the actual 8.38-3.1 build log on launchpad? maybe there's clues there | 16:01 |
| jayjo | I have two monitors and I would like a different image on each one. nitrogen won't change either background for me even when i run it with sudo, is there another option? | 16:04 |
| === root is now known as Guest76217 | ||
| Lord-Kamina | Also I just noticed... | 16:08 |
| Lord-Kamina | If you look at the build log, you'll notice the "missing" symbols pretty much match up to the "new symbols" it finds a couple lines earlier. | 16:08 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: have you been using the "backportpackage" tool in ubuntu-dev-tools for this? | 16:10 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: ignore that! I hit the keyboard wrong! | 16:10 |
| Lord-Kamina | Heh. | 16:10 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: I don't see that in the log; All I see is the "- ... SYMBOL ..." line (denoting it's in debian/xxxx.symbols but not in the new output, then the "+ #MISSING" line reporting it as not being present in the new build | 16:11 |
| Lord-Kamina | In fact... | 16:12 |
| Lord-Kamina | If I run sed 's/ \(_.*\) \(.*\)/ (c++)"\1" \2/' __input__ | c++filt on those lines, the output is the "missing" symbols. | 16:13 |
| Lord-Kamina | https://gist.github.com/Lord-Kamina/623bef0db871d5dc22dad821a2f6f67c#file-build-log-L5 | 16:13 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: take lines 20-21 of the original log. Line 21 is generated by prefixing "#MISSING $VERSION" to the line read from debian/xxxx.symbols - so they will look identical | 16:14 |
| Lord-Kamina | What I mean, TJ-, is I run that sed script on lines 5-12 (deleted the + from the diff, though) | 16:16 |
| Lord-Kamina | And the output was almost identical to what it's looking for. | 16:16 |
| Lord-Kamina | The only difference was @Base 2:8.39-3ppa-trusty1 instead of @Base" 7.7 | 16:17 |
| bratchley | what can I check if the "Add Printer" page on cups isn't prompting for a password? | 16:19 |
| bratchley | it's just immediately saying I'm not authorized | 16:19 |
| Lord-Kamina | (I did it on another version ofthe build, but presumably with the one in that log it would have been @Base 2:8.38-3.1ppa-trusty6) | 16:19 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: yes, the symbol signature has changed. The point of the #MISSING is to alert you, as maintainer, that you need to *change* the debian/xxxx.symbols file (if you're happy the output is correct) so that dpkg-gensymbols only causes additions :) | 16:20 |
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: so the method signatures have changed, therefore the old signature is indeed missing, so those can be removed from the xxxx.symbols file. Then, shlibs will be happy and the package will build | 16:21 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| Lord-Kamina | I mean I think I see the solution now, I need to update the symbols file in the package using the output from the previous lines and it should work, yes? | 16:21 |
| === mustafa__ is now known as mustafa | ||
| TJ- | Lord-Kamina: precisely :) | 16:28 |

| JacobTDC | Hi, so I recently found out about fdrawcmd, and I was wondering, is it possible to, say, play music with fdrawcmd?

| MysticMixles | Hey! I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my chromebook. I followed the tutorial on the ubuntu website, and it installed successfully, but when I actually run startunity, the desktop loads with no launcher, no terminal, etc. I can't do anything. There is just a desktop background. I can create a blank file or a folder, but the right click menu is missing the open terminal option. Any ideas? | 16:47 |
| linuxlove | hello guys | 16:47 |
| lotuspsychje | MysticMixles: for ubuntu on chromebooks i think you need the crouton method | 16:48 |
| MysticMixles | https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/install-ubuntu-on-chromebook#0 | 16:48 |
| MysticMixles | It is crouton | 16:48 |
| lotuspsychje | lemme check | 16:48 |
| Bazman | TJ: There is an Xorg.0.log.old and Xorg.0.log both created on Jul 30 21:07 | 16:48 |
| JacobTDC | How is `fdrawcmd seek <drvsel> <cyl>` used? | 16:49 |
| JacobTDC | Specifically, what does `drvsel` do? | 16:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | MysticMixles: Does your chromebook come with an NVdia Tegra CPU? | 16:49 |
| TJ- | Bazman: the "old" is the one replaced by the latter file. So "Xorg.0.log" might help | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | MysticMixles: on the first page it mentions crouton is not part of ubuntu, so we cant actually support it really here | 16:50 |
| alexandru | TJ-: doesn't seem like it | 16:50 |
| MysticMixles | I know there's no guaranteed support, but I figured I'd ask. If I'm not allowed to, let me know. | 16:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | JacobTDC: Take a look at "man fdrawcmd" ... You will see that drvsel is for selecting which floppy device to write to | 16:50 |
| MysticMixles | Specific chipset is Intel HD 515 | 16:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | I guess the man page is poorly written for fdrawcmd... that is some poor stuff | 16:51 |
| ksbalaji | I now have 16.04 running in acer aspire e-15 laptop. However, upgrade does not work. gets aborted with an error message. Please help. | 16:52 |

| JacobTDC | Okay. Thanks, pragmaticenigma. The manpage isn't really all that clear, TBH... :I | 16:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | JacobTDC: It's in the "read" command section | 16:52 |

| JacobTDC | Okay, thannks pragmaticenigma ! :D | 16:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | ksbalaji: First, please have patience. If someone is available, they will reposnd. Second, provide more details, like what does the error message say. See !details for more information. | 16:53 |
| TJ- | alexandru: I'm not sure then; my main concern would be installing the AMD-sourced driver may cause conflicts between that and the Ubuntu supplied package, unless you remove the Ubuntu driver package first | 16:53 |
| alexandru | TJ-: Understood. I'll think about it. :) | 16:54 |
| JacobTDC | pragmaticenigma: Also, is it safe to just seek to whatever cylinder I want while messing around? Are there measures in place to keep the drive from destroying itself? | 16:54 |
| TJ- | JacobTDC: on most floppy drives, no there are not, you need to know the geometry of the drive | 16:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | JacobTDC: Depends on what you are attempting to do. That program is designed to send raw commands to the device, I highly doubt it has any safe gaurds in place | 16:54 |
| TJ- | JacobTDC: e.g. 40 or 80 track | 16:54 |
| JacobTDC | Okay. Thanks. | 16:55 |

| Bazman | nacc: there is an option for wayland but pretty sure I'm not using it | 17:19 |

| Bazman | nacc: Ah ok first line EE: Nvidia failed to initialise the Nvidia kernel module | 17:20 |

| ioria | Bazman, ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf what it says ? | 17:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | someone_: Support for software and drivers not obtained from Ubuntu sites and software repositories is not something that can be supported here. The drivers included with Ubuntu should have been working. It is possible that the game itself requires ample amount of CPU usage in addition to GPU ussage. Seeing the CPU usage go up during gameplay is not unusual. | 17:50 |

| TJ- | ash_worksi: what command? | 18:03 |
| lovepopsickle | nacc installing with synaptic says its require so if I try with terminal it may not say to add it? | 18:03 |
| ioria | Bazman, i guess from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 18:03 |
| nacc | lovepopsickle: probably synaptic has an option to not install recommends, dunnoi | 18:03 |

| crmlt | Why this doesn't put setpci utility into initramfs? | 19:04 |
| crmlt | https://hastebin.com/itukohamar.bash | 19:04 |
| TJ- | crmlt: where are putting that file, are you making it "chmod +x" ? | 19:05 |
| crmlt | TJ-: i want copy setpci into initramfs and run it from /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/setpci | 19:05 |
| TJ- | crmlt: I know that - is the script executable? | 19:06 |
| crmlt | it is | 19:06 |
| crmlt | i always command not found | 19:06 |
| crmlt | get* | 19:06 |
| TJ- | crmlt: to debug it, add a line "touch /tmp/setpci" after the copy_exec so if it runs you know it reached that point | 19:07 |
| bieb | I have a hdd that holds an OS and small amount of data.. its 250gb.. I want to put a TB drive in the small form factor pc (will only hold 1 hdd). I was thinking about using dd to copy the 250 to the 1tb drive.. how can I then expand the volume to use all the rest of the tb? | 19:07 |
| TJ- | crmlt: you do? why not add "set -x" to the top of the script so you can see each line as it is executed? | 19:07 |
| TJ- | bieb: use LVM rather than hard partitions, that way you can choose how to use the free space | 19:08 |
| bieb | TJ-: how will that work once the dd is complete? can I change to lvm at that point? | 19:08 |
| TJ- | bieb: or create partition(s) on the new drive and copy the file-system(s) from the old drive into them, then use "resize2fs" on them (assuming the file-systems are ext3/4) | 19:08 |
| crmlt | oh wait thee hook script hasnt "chmod +x" | 19:09 |
| FreeBDSM | hello | 19:09 |
| TJ- | crmlt: oops | 19:09 |
| bieb | TJ-: thanks! | 19:09 |
| crmlt | i somehow missed it | 19:09 |
| TJ- | bieb: then the latter idea would work, if the file-systems are ext | 19:09 |
| EriC^^ | bieb: create a big partition, dd the partition/fs then use resize2fs to enlarge the fs | 19:09 |
| FreeBDSM | how to download a package as an archive with binaries? | 19:09 |

| Pcost8300 | Good afternoon, can you help me please. i want to know if it is normal to see permissions stablished for an user www-data for the /bin folder | 19:39 |
| geirha | no, it should be owned by root | 19:40 |
| Hardrada | When i am making a swap file via the terminal i use the line sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=8000 but what does the "bs=1024" mean ? | 19:41 |
| Pcost8300 | mmm i dont know what happened but almost everything is owned by it | 19:41 |
| geirha | sounds like someone might have done a sudo chown -R on the wrong dir | 19:41 |
| FreeBDSM | Hardrada: sector size in bytes | 19:41 |
| ment0s | is there any way to mount partition with exec but for single user ? | 19:41 |
| Pcost8300 | yeah, but it isnt just there | 19:41 |
| Pcost8300 | is almost in every folder | 19:41 |
| Hardrada | so if i got 4 gigs of ram, i should write bs=1024 count=8000 ? :P | 19:41 |
| Pcost8300 | at / | 19:41 |
| FreeBDSM | Hardrada: 'block size' | 19:42 |
| mojtaba | Hello, do you know why the home directory is 100% used, although it has some free spaces? http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Jm4RdZRjMq/ | 19:42 |
| geirha | so they used something like sudo chown -R www-data /* # Do NOT run this | 19:42 |
| Hardrada | FreeBDSM, ok thank you for that. But would you recomend to have 8000 for the swap size if i got 4g of ram ?. | 19:42 |
| === RaptorJesus is now known as DudeBroMan | ||
| FreeBDSM | Hardrada: I don't know | 19:43 |
| === DudeBroMan is now known as RaptorJesus | ||
| geirha | Pcost8300: typical case is doing it on /foo/bar/* but accidentally getting a space at the wrong place, so it ends up as /foo/bar /* | 19:43 |
| Pcost8300 | geirha: yes but i believed it was something done by a program, so then it was done by hand, wasnt it? | 19:43 |

| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: what are you trying to do? | 19:43 |
| Pcost8300 | oh god | 19:43 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: could be either, but my guess would be done by a human by accident | 19:44 |
| Pcost8300 | should i run chown -R root:root / ? | 19:44 |
| Blakes5 | hey all, I had a 32 GB SD card that I used DD to copy to another 32 GB SD card. However, the destination card was slightly smaller than the origin and DD not caring about the size apparently wrote the partition larger than the disk. I've tried deleting the partition to no avail in Windows and Linux using gparted & fdisk. I've tried overwriting the partition table. That didn't work. Any suggestions on what else I could try?' | 19:44 |
| Hardrada | pragmaticenigma, increase my swap size. My laptop is getting slow. and i think the swap size can help me. | 19:44 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: No, lots of things should not be owned by root | 19:44 |
| geirha | best bet is a re-install, really | 19:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: that isn't how you do it | 19:44 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: though double check if it actually was recursive. is all files inside /bin also owned by www-data? | 19:45 |
| Hardrada | pragmaticenigma, :S so i cant make a swap file via the terminal ?. Do i have to reboot in to an usb / cd to do it from there?. | 19:45 |
| Pcost8300 | geirha i see, then i need to check every folder... im trying to run postgresql and it keeps telling me denied permission | 19:45 |
| Pcost8300 | yes it was | 19:46 |
| Pcost8300 | boot, build, dev, etc, home | 19:46 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: ok, then you can also no longer use su or sudo, since these must be owned by root and have setuid set | 19:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: First, increasing swap size isn't going to solve a sluggish computer. It will increase the sluggish behavior because reading and writing to the harddrive versus RAM is much much much slower | 19:46 |
| Pcost8300 | those that werent chowned are dev, proc, run and sys | 19:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: You would be better off determining what programs are utilizing more than their fair share of system resources and removing them. | 19:47 |
| Hardrada | pragmaticenigma, oh. Ok :P then I was wrong. Maybe i have to upgrade my laptop then. | 19:47 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: yeah those are separate filesystems that don't react to chowning | 19:47 |
| Pcost8300 | geirha: i see, but i cannot run postgresql anymore | 19:47 |
| Pcost8300 | and this is a server .. crap.. | 19:48 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: you might have luck with chowning back enough files and then reinstalling and reconfiguring every single package, but a re-install will likely be much faster | 19:48 |
| geirha | or restore from backup | 19:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: Sounds like it might be the better path. If you are still interested in trying to increase or change the swap file, these instructions are very good at explaining each step and the impact to your system: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-04 | 19:48 |
| Pcost8300 | geirha: ok, thank you for your advice | 19:48 |
| Pcost8300 | i will try to do it so.. | 19:48 |
| mojtaba | Hello, do you know why the home directory is 100% used, although it has some free spaces? http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Jm4RdZRjMq/ | 19:48 |
| Hardrada | pragmaticenigma, thank you alot. I am currently considering the Dell Xps laptops as an replacement :). | 19:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | mojtaba: Size is calculated based on bytes used. However, files must be written to blocks. What you are likely seeing is all blocks of the partition are used, even though some space remains. | 19:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | Hardrada: If you are interested in recommendations, head over to the #ubuntu-offtopic room, there are many helpful people there that can offer recommendations and suggestions | 19:51 |
| mojtaba | pragmaticenigma: So what does it mean? In windows there is re-fragmentation, is there something like that in Ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| mojtaba | Can I still use my home dir, or is it likely to fail? | 19:52 |
| Hardrada | pragmaticenigma, ok, thank you for your time and help. I will look into it later. | 19:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | mojtaba: Out of space is out of space, I don't believe it's going to fail, however applications are more likely to crash if they are trying to write to the home directory | 19:53 |
| mojtaba | pragmaticenigma: but why it is showing that amount of available space? That's a big size. | 19:53 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: did you recently delete some large file(s) ? | 19:54 |
| TJ- | "809G 760G 7.6G 100% /home" suggests that some process still has a handle to a large file - hence (809-760) != 7.6 | 19:54 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: yes, multiple files, with average of 500 Mg. | 19:54 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: the space isn't really freed until the last file handle is released, so likely something still has handles to them | 19:55 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: I guess I have mounted another filesystem in home before. | 19:56 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: you can check with this: "sudo ls -l /proc/[0-9]*/fd | grep deleted" | 19:56 |
| mojtaba | it is unmounted now. | 19:56 |
| Pcost8300 | <geirha> Could you please tell me, if i install postgresql again, it will erase all data i have in it? | 19:57 |
| Pcost8300 | will all that data perish? | 19:57 |
| TJ- | the kernel keeps tabs on the handles in /proc/{pid-of-process}/fd/ with symlinks from the file descriptor number to the file. When a file has been unlinked it adds "(deleted)" | 19:57 |
| jar00st | hello | 19:57 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: There are a lot. | 19:58 |
| jar00st | can someone help me with a issue in ubuntu 18.04 with the network managment, i can't create a hotspot | 19:58 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: right, are the big files listed? if so make a note of the pid(s) of the processes holding them | 19:58 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: I don't see any big file. (I think I have mounted another file system in home directory before. Although it is unmounted now.) Could that be relevant? | 20:00 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: no, separate file-systems | 20:00 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: this will list the PIDs as well as the (deleted) files: "sudo find /proc/[0-9]*/fd -ls | awk '/deleted/{print $11, $13}' " | 20:01 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: No big file is listed. | 20:02 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: it won't touch the data, but you'll need to chown back the data files manually | 20:02 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: check the "df -h" output again, it may have changed | 20:03 |
| crmlt | TJ-: tgx | 20:03 |
| Pcost8300 | <geirha> ok thank you man | 20:03 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: nope | 20:03 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: it could be inodes but I don't think that'd cause the df output for blocks used to be 100% ... try "df -i" to show inode usage, lots of small files can cause inode exhaustion even when there's free blocks | 20:05 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bXnxRDX9cN/ | 20:06 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: well it's not inodes! it's only used 3% on sda8 | 20:07 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: I ran df -I | 20:07 |
| mojtaba | small i | 20:08 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: do you have quotas enabled? | 20:08 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: I am not sure, how can I check that? | 20:08 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: it might be worth trying the command as 'root' in case what you're seeing is related to the user. "sudo df -h /home" | 20:09 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: you'd know if you were :D | 20:09 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: I'm trying to figure out why the sums don't add up! | 20:09 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: /dev/sda8 809G 760G 7.6G 100% /home | 20:10 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: can you afford to do a reboot? | 20:10 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: :~ unfortunately not at the moment. | 20:11 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: if the values persist after a reboot I'm going to suggest an fsck is needed because I suspect the file-system meta-data is wrong. What type of file-system is sda8? | 20:11 |
| mojtaba | ext4 | 20:12 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: nothing exotic then. Is this 18.04 Bionic? | 20:12 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: Nope, still 16.04 LTS | 20:12 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: I'll ask about; those figures look weird. I still think it's (deleted) files though! | 20:13 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: When I restarted, I will come back here if the figures were odd. :) | 20:13 |
| TJ- | mojtaba: can you afford to log-out/log-in so all $USER processes are terminated? | 20:13 |
| mojtaba | TJ-: :) That's like restart; actually I am in the middle of doing something. | 20:14 |
| Pcost8300 | geirha: will you help with something please, how do i see all history of commands run on the terminal? | 20:14 |
| Pcost8300 | i need all the information... sorry for bothering you | 20:14 |
| ioria | Bazman, how you doing ? | 20:14 |
| TJ- | Pcost8300: "history" command | 20:14 |
| geirha | Pcost8300: each interactive bash session will store its history in ~/.bash_history on exit | 20:15 |
| geirha | I'd start with looking at root's; /root/.bash_history | 20:16 |
| geirha | if the culprit is not there, start going through all users with sudo access | 20:16 |
| Pcost8300 | oh ok thank you | 20:16 |

| Pcost8300 | that is the complete output of it | 20:22 |
| TJ- | Pcost8300: there's a pretty sane way to fix ownership/permissions I've used successfully. I create a (LXD) container with all the same packages installed, then with the container stopped but with access to it's root file-system, I run a script that iterates through the container, reading the ownership/permissions and copying them to the host, using "chown --reference=path/to/container/rootfs/path/to/file | 20:22 |
| TJ- | /path/to/file" | 20:22 |
| TJ- | Pcost8300: and "chmod --reference=path/to/container/rootfs/path/to/file /path/to/file" | 20:23 |

| jaya | hello | 21:30 |
| jaya | is any one there to reply | 21:30 |
| jaya | i want to install new version of os | 21:31 |
| jaya | mine is 14.04lts | 21:31 |
| jaya | i want to upgrade to 16.04lts | 21:32 |
| beowuff | I'm so confused on snaps. For example, I was thinking about installing quasselcore on a new box, but when I do a snap find quasselcore, I get two completely different snaps created by different people. Same version #. No idea how to tell the differences between them or which one I should choose... | 21:32 |
| TJ- | beowuff: welcome to the future :) | 21:32 |
| beowuff | I mean, choice is great, but I need more info XD | 21:33 |
| jaya | what more info do you need | 21:33 |
| beowuff | Why is there two? What's the difference between them? | 21:33 |
| nacc | beowuff: because anyhone can upload a snap; in this case, two differnet people did | 21:34 |
| nacc | beowuff: you should contact the snap owner to find out more info, imo | 21:34 |
| jaya | mine is 14.04lts os .now i want to upgrade to 16.04lts | 21:34 |
| nacc | beowuff: or see what, if anyting, upstream recommends, if they are the owner | 21:34 |
| nacc | jaya: do you want to upgrade or reinstall? | 21:34 |
| nacc | jaya: if in either case, just do it? | 21:35 |
| jaya | i want to upgrade | 21:35 |
| nacc | jaya: ok, go ahead? | 21:36 |
| nacc | jaya: you don't need our permission :) | 21:36 |
| jaya | i am getting an error message like'third party sources are disabeled' | 21:37 |
| nacc | jaya: that is not an error message, i believe it's an info/warning. | 21:37 |
| jaya | when i close this message upgrading stops | 21:38 |
| nacc | jaya: please use a pastebin and show the exact message, etc. | 21:38 |
| jaya | this is the message"Third party sources disabled | 21:40 |
| jaya | Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager." | 21:40 |
| nacc | jaya: ok; that alone doesn't end the upgrade | 21:41 |
| nacc | jaya: what are you using to upgrade/ | 21:41 |
| jaya | i used ubuntus software updater | 21:42 |
| nacc | jaya: can you try from the commandline? `sudo do-release-upgrade` | 21:42 |
| === test is now known as Guest98324 | ||
| Guest98324 | Anything interesting in the chat room today? | 21:44 |
| nacc | Guest98324: that's not how this channel works. | 21:44 |
| Guest98324 | Really, how does it work? | 21:44 |
| nacc | Guest98324: this is the ubuntu suport channel. Do you have an ubuntu suppor question? | 21:44 |
| Guest98324 | Yes... I have one which is kinda unrelated but I am tempted to ask it.... Where is the support team located and how many employees you have if you don't mind me asking | 21:47 |
| nacc | Guest98324: this is a volunteer channel | 21:47 |
| nacc | Guest98324: and no, that's not a relevant question to this channel | 21:47 |
| jaya | it is saying the the same reply"third party resources disabled" | 21:49 |
| Guest98324 | LOL, so where is the volunteered team located, just curious and I suppose it's not that irrelevant since you already answered | 21:49 |
| hggdh | Guest98324: anywhere in the world | 21:49 |
| nacc | jaya: and then does it exit? | 21:50 |
| Guest98324 | I see... so what about the servers, datacenter and so forth? | 21:50 |
| nacc | Guest98324: perhaps ask this in #ubuntu-discuss | 21:51 |
| Guest98324 | So, what does it take to be a voluteered in terms of technical abilities? | 21:52 |
| jaya | want me to press enter"as you can re-enable them after the upgrade with the software properties toolsor your package manager" | 21:52 |
| nacc | jaya: ... yes? | 21:52 |
| jaya | No,it want me to press enter | 21:53 |
| nacc | jaya: I don't know what you mean | 21:53 |
| jaya | want me to press enter"as you can re-enable them after the upgrade with the software properties toolsor your package manager" | 21:53 |
| jaya | this is the message it has shown there | 21:53 |
| nacc | jaya: are you asking a question? if you are asking, "should I press enter?", then "yes, you should" | 21:54 |
| nuevo | Hi all | 21:58 |
| nuevo | I don't know if I have a virus because appears printers | 22:01 |
| nuevo | Xerox_VersaLink_C405_64_4b_58_ MX_2640N_4507240Y00_ | 22:02 |
| jaya | it is showing"an resolvable error has occured due to(1.upgrading to a pre-elease version of ubuntu ,2.Running the current pre-release version of ubuntu,3.unofficia software packages not provided by ubuntu )".then it terminated | 22:02 |
| nacc | jaya: what does `lsb_release -sd` say? | 22:04 |
| jaya | no command 'lsb ' found | 22:05 |
| nacc | jaya: that was not the command i said to run | 22:05 |
| nacc | jaya: `lsb_release -sd` | 22:05 |
| nacc | ther is an underscore between 'lsb' and 'release' | 22:06 |
| jaya | 14.04.5LTS | 22:07 |
| freecom | hi | 22:07 |
| nacc | jaya: not sure; plenty of people have done the upgrade. Did you try disabling manually any 3rd party repos? | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | !details | nuevo | 22:10 |
| ubottu | nuevo: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 22:10 |
| jaya | no,i haven't changed any.first of all ,i dont know what is a third party repos | 22:10 |
| nacc | jaya: anything not provided by ubuntu | 22:10 |
| jaya | i did not understand , what do you mean by "anything not provided by ubuntu" | 22:12 |
| nacc | jaya: a third party repository is one not provided by ubuntu. e.g., a PPA, or something you added by hand following online instructions. | 22:12 |
| jaya | no,i did not | 22:13 |
| nacc | jaya: can you pastebin `sudo apt-get update` output? | 22:13 |
| jaya | W: unknown Multi-arch 'no' for package ('compiz-core','compiz-gnome') | 22:17 |
| jaya | there are many lines like the above | 22:17 |
| nacc | jaya: sounds like something is messed up already on your system; maybe someone else can help you debug it | 22:18 |
| jaya | can you tell where can i find the third party repos | 22:19 |
| nacc | jaya: /etc/apt/sources.list* | 22:19 |
| tomreyn | (this '*' is there on purpose) | 22:19 |
| nacc | tomreyn: thanks :) | 22:20 |
| nacc | jaya: it might be in /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | nacc: not sure it needed an explanation, so just in case ;) | 22:20 |
| jaya | bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: permission denied | 22:20 |
| nacc | jaya: you don't run them, they are text files. | 22:21 |
| jaya | this is the output when i ran that command | 22:21 |
| nacc | jaya: it's not a command. | 22:21 |
| nacc | jaya: tbh, it seems like you might lack some basic knowledge of using ubuntu; do you really have data you need to keep on your 14.04 system? | 22:22 |
| jaya | i just started. and i recently installed ubuntu. | 22:26 |
| nacc | jaya: oh, then yeah, you probably don't have any data, or not much. Back it up to a USB drive or somewhere, and reinstall 18.04. | 22:27 |
| nacc | !manual | jaya: and read the manual... | 22:27 |
| ubottu | jaya: and read the manual...: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 22:27 |
| nacc | I think there are other guides on the wiki as well | 22:27 |
| jaya | ok thank you | 22:28 |
| nuevo | tomreyn and ubottu, I don't have any errors, I delete the printers and they appears again afterwhile. | 22:32 |
| nacc | nuevo: if they are network printers, they are just found as visible on your network with latest ubuntu | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | nuevo: this is (very) most likely not a virus. | 22:35 |
| nuevo | nacc and tomreyn thank you, I was worried about this | 22:37 |

| BarBQ | I added disk in ESXi 100 GB, thin provision and it was suppose to increase the root disk "System will auto detect new disk and use it to expand Root Filesystem." Well it didn't and then i powered the machine down and removed the disk and now i have some initramfs prompt that comes up when i boot. | 22:53 |
| BarBQ | Is there a way to fix this or should i snapshot back? Should i now have used thin provision? | 22:54 |
| meyou | where did you see "System will auto detect new disk and use it to expand Root Filesystem." | 22:54 |

| yuken | There was no hostname in there, Jens. | 23:57 |
| leftyfb | yuken: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux found by googling "ubuntu 18.04 change hostname" | 23:57 |
| yuken | leftyfb, can't access google or, for some reason, any website right now. | 23:57 |
| leftyfb | why is that? | 23:58 |
| yuken | No clue. | 23:58 |
| leftyfb | shouldn't we be diagnosing that instead? | 23:58 |
| Jens | What that link says is basically "$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname linuxconfig" | 23:58 |
| leftyfb | Jens: not really | 23:58 |
| Jens | "linuxconfig" being the new hostname. | 23:58 |
| leftyfb | yuken: edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg | 23:59 |
| leftyfb | Jens: change preserve_hostname: true | 23:59 |
| yuken | I did add in the hostname into hosts myself when I saw it didn't exist though, pointing @ 127.0.1.1 jason-server | 23:59 |
| leftyfb | yuken: change preserve_hostname: true | 23:59 |
