| AlexMax | Synaptic is still the most common GUI tool for installing packages on Ubuntu these days, right? | 00:10 |
| lilkuz2005 | hello all, i have an issue with a graphics driver, im using nvidia's non-free driver, its working, in the nvidia x server settings under GPU 0 it shows my bus type as being gen3 16x, but under the powermizer section its showing the current PCIe link width as x4, is this normal ? | 00:11 |
| AlexMax | Software & Updates has trouble with slightly obscure stuff | 00:11 |

| pragmaticenigma | AlexMax: are you experiencing an issue what we might be able to help with? | 00:12 |
| masaki | @AlexMax, There's the snap store too which might be gaining popularity. | 00:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | masaki: that's not what their asking | 00:13 |
| === Rootyjr is now known as boogle | ||
| pragmaticenigma | *they're | 00:13 |
| AlexMax | pragmaticenigma: not paritcular | 00:13 |
| === boogle is now known as Rootyjr | ||
| AlexMax | I haven't used Desktop Ubuntu in anger since 8.10 | 00:13 |
| masaki | pragmaticenigma, my mistake | 00:14 |
| AlexMax | Is this channel only for issues? | 00:14 |
| AlexMax | and more social and fuzzy questions go elsewhere? | 00:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | AlexMax: Synaptic is still available and is used by some of the Ubuntu flavors. The desktop environments have been building their own using standardized hooks that give a native interface to the aptitude ecosystem | 00:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | Social and fuzzy questions typically go in #ubuntu-offtopic, or #ubuntu-discuss | 00:15 |
| lilkuz2005 | yeah i use apt more then any software center or synaptic, i know they do the same thing, its just quicker to type what i want | 00:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | AlexMax: Define slightly obscure stuff? The official ubuntu package repos only contain stable and tested packages. there shouldn't be any issues with packages provided officially | 00:16 |
| lilkuz2005 | im really unsure if my bus speed issue is causing performance issues with my gpu | 00:16 |
| TJ- | Well, there are 78,645 packages in 18.04, so it's no surprise the GUI struggles :) | 00:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | lilkuz2005: Do you know what the PCIe slot is rated for? | 00:18 |
| AlexMax | pragmaticenigma: Well, for example, I want to install the SDL2 development library | 00:18 |
| AlexMax | Which should be sdl2-dev | 00:18 |
| AlexMax | which is in universe | 00:19 |
| TJ- | !info libsdl2-dev | 00:19 |
| ubottu | libsdl2-dev (source: libsdl2): Simple DirectMedia Layer development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.8+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 688 kB, installed size 3848 kB | 00:19 |
| lilkuz2005 | pragmaticenigma, yeah i sure do, the top PCIe slot is 16x, the bottom is 4x, i only have the gpu installed so nothing is sharing the pcie lanes | 00:19 |
| lilkuz2005 | pragmaticenigma, https://imgur.com/a/VoxLfiB thats 2 pics of the nvidia control panel showing what im talking about | 00:20 |
| AlexMax | But if I put sdl2 or something like that into the "Ubuntu Software" app, I get nothing | 00:21 |
| AlexMax | which is why I wanted to install synaptic in the first place | 00:21 |
| TJ- | AlexMax: CLI using "apt-cache search ..." or "apt-cache search -n ..." (searches names only) | 00:21 |
| AlexMax | and I just wanted to make sure that's still the best GUI tool to use | 00:21 |
| lilkuz2005 | AlexMax, open terminal and type sudo apt search sdl2 | 00:21 |
| TJ- | AlexMax: the GUI is more aimed at locating executable applications rather then development libraries and source headers | 00:22 |
| AlexMax | TJ-: Exactly, which is why I was asking if Synaptic was still the best and most up to date GUI tool for installing arbitrary packages | 00:23 |
| AlexMax | I usually lean on aptitude in my debian, terminal-only VPS's | 00:23 |
| TJ- | AlexMax: I've not used that in over 10 years :) | 00:23 |
| AlexMax | Damg, it's that out of date? | 00:23 |
| TJ- | AlexMax: no, I've just become wedded to core command-line tools | 00:24 |
| AlexMax | eh, sometimes I just wanna....browse :P | 00:24 |
| oerheks | !info synaptic | 00:26 |
| ubottu | synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.84.3ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 624 kB, installed size 3276 kB | 00:26 |
| oerheks | synaptic is fine | 00:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | lilkuz2005: it is possible that without anything demanding higher throughput it is throttling it self down | 00:28 |
| lilkuz2005 | pragmaticenigma, thanks for looking into it for me, i have the witcher 2 running via steam right now with high settings 1080p | 00:29 |
| qwebirc36342 | hi, i deleted all the kernels on my system, apart from one, which i think is not finished with install process, i am now looking and trying guidelines to resolve this issue, but am getting stuck, anyone who might hekp me? | 00:32 |
| qwebirc36342 | ups, help me | 00:32 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: deleted the files from /boot/ directory, or removed the linux-image* packages? | 00:34 |
| qwebirc36342 | tryed to empty out space in /boot and then i removed all but latest kernel number, not thinking that i did so, because there was no space to finish install of kernel | 00:35 |
| qwebirc36342 | found this now. would that work, i am on a live system on the same machine | 00:36 |
| qwebirc36342 | https://askubuntu.com/questions/700214/how-do-i-install-an-old-kernel | 00:36 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: if you only deleted the files you only need to "apt install --reinstall linux-image-$VERSION" for each missing kernel | 00:37 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: you can get a list of the installed kernel image packages with " apt list --installed linux-image* 2>/dev/null | cut -d/ -f 1 | tail -n +2 " | 00:37 |
| qwebirc36342 | so i have my boot partition mounted, i cd to it and run the command? | 00:38 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: no, you need to run that after chroot-ing into the root file-system | 00:39 |
| qwebirc36342 | how do i chroot? | 00:39 |
| TJ- | !chroot | 00:39 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 00:39 |
| qwebirc36342 | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ !chroot bash: !chroot: event not found | 00:40 |
| qwebirc36342 | TJ maybe i need some packages in a live system to chroot? | 00:44 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: "!chroot" is invalid; the "!" is not required, that's a bash internal construction | 00:46 |
| qwebirc36342 | so chroot says its missing operand | 00:48 |
| qwebirc36342 | i feel like such a newb/dork | 00:48 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: yes. First you need to mount the root-filesystem to some directory mountpoint, then "sudo chroot /path/to/mountpoint" | 00:49 |
| qwebirc36342 | eg. my /boot | 00:49 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: e.g. "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sdX0 /target; for n in proc sys dev dev/pts run etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done; sudo chroot /target" | 00:50 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: once inside the chroot do "mount -a" and that'll automount all the entries in /etc/fstab that should be mounted - such as /boot/ | 00:50 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: until you type "exit" you're 'root' user in the installed root file-system, not the Live USB | 00:51 |
| designbybeck | I had a main system SSD and a 2nd HDD for my Home folder. I cleaned off my SSD and did a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 on it. Is there a way to still unencrypt my HDD so I can access those files? | 00:52 |
| qwebirc36342 | feels like i am getting closer, but still something is wrong, i changed the device name to fit, but otherwise copied your code, which i failed to fully undertsand..and got this output> | 00:53 |
| qwebirc36342 | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /target; for n in proc sys dev dev/pts run etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done; sudo chroot /target mount: mount point /target/proc does not exist mount: mount point /target/sys does not exist mount: mount point /target/dev does not exist mount: mount point /target/dev/pts does not exist mount: mount point /target/run does not exist mount: mount poi | 00:53 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: encrypted home directory? | 00:53 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: your /dev/sda1 is NOT the root file-system, since it doesn't contain the correct directories | 00:54 |
| designbybeck | TJ-, yeah the setup I had before with 16.04, I set it up with encrypted home dir on the HDD | 00:54 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: so, in your new OS root-fs, in its /etc/fstab, you've an entry pointing to the 2nd hard drive mouted to /home/ ? | 00:55 |
| elim_garak | what is the suggested way that I can updated from Ubuntu 17.04 to whatever the lastest and greatest is ? | 00:55 |
| designbybeck | TJ-, well when I did this clean install, I unhooked all the other drives just to be safe | 00:55 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: did you install the "ecprytfs-utils" package ? | 00:56 |
| designbybeck | hmmmm not sure TJ- how do I find out | 00:56 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: if you installed that package, then at log-in time pam_ecryptfs will be triggered to unlock the user's home directory | 00:56 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: "apt list ecryptfs-utils" --- it should say "installed" | 00:57 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: if not then "sudo apt install ecryptfs-utils" | 00:57 |
| designbybeck | I can see the drive now and it has a readme.txt file but say /usr/share/ecryptfs-utiles/ecryptfs-mount-private.txt doesn't exist TJ- s | 00:57 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: right, so you've not installed this package. Do it and it'll all work (if the /home/ directory is mounted from the 2nd disk drive) | 00:58 |
| designbybeck | TJ-, ecryptfs-utils/bionic 111-0ubuntu5 amd64 | 00:58 |
| designbybeck | ah, Yeah when I boot I do have the full disk encryption and can get on to the system, just not this second drive | 00:58 |
| designbybeck | so I can just do a sudo apt install ecryptfs-utils TJ- ? | 00:59 |
| elim_garak | is there any good way for me to update form ubuntu 17.04 to the lastest version? | 00:59 |
| designbybeck | elim_garak, I think you have to go to 17.10 first | 00:59 |
| elim_garak | designbybeck: when i try to update it says no way, not supported | 01:00 |
| elim_garak | designbybeck: either by command line or the update tool | 01:00 |
| Mead | not for cardasian spys | 01:00 |
| elim_garak | im just a tailor | 01:00 |
| elim_garak | and a rather good one | 01:00 |

| Mead | well that failed | 01:01 |
| FortunateSon | All: I have a 5 identical servers all running the latest version of 16.04 where the Intel NIC I am using randomly disappears after 16-48 hours of uptime. I can't seem to find anything in the logs but I may be looking in the wrong place. All I have been able to find is a couple lines reported by dmesg and all they say is "adapter removed" ... I promise it's still there ... any idea where I can look further to see if I can find | 01:01 |
| FortunateSon | out what is causing this issue? | 01:01 |
| elim_garak | im afraid the option is going to be for me to install fresh | 01:02 |
| qwebirc36342 | sorry for being stupid here TJ i can see you are a busy man, but how do i found my root system | 01:03 |
| TJ- | designbybeck: did that fix it? my tablet went to sleep! | 01:07 |
| qwebirc36342 | sorry for being stupid here TJ i can see you are a busy man, but how do i found my root system | 01:09 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: if you've found the /boot/ file system, you should be able to get it from the kernel options in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file | 01:10 |
| qwebirc36342 | okay i am looking in the file, and i see it refers to the internal ssd disc, there is 3 partitions on this disc i can see from running parted -l | 01:14 |
| qwebirc36342 | i see it named hd0 | 01:14 |
| Nevolution21 | Christel just posted this "denial" on the freenode blog https://freenode.net/news/spam-shake | 01:14 |
| qwebirc36342 | or should i look for the uuid | 01:15 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: e.g. if the boot file-system is /dev/sda1, then you've done "sudo mkdir /boot; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot" you can search using "grep -o 'linux.*root=[^ ]*' /boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 01:15 |
| qwebirc36342 | what i did so far was to boot a live usb, and then i mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/sda1 that i created in the live system, sda1 is my boot partition on the broken system, | 01:18 |
| === capella|away is now known as capella | ||
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: use "grep -o 'linux.*root=[^ ]*' /mnt/sda1/grub/grub.cfg" | 01:19 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: if that gives you results, and the root= is a UUID, then do "sudo blkid" to match that to the correct partition | 01:20 |
| qwebirc36342 | i do get a long list | 01:21 |
| qwebirc36342 | entries like> linux/vmlinuz-4.4.0-128-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root | 01:21 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: i'd expect all the root= entries to be then same | 01:21 |
| TJ- | right so it's an LVM volume, not a raw partition | 01:21 |
| qwebirc36342 | yes, that seems true | 01:22 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: so now find out where that lives with "sudo pvscan" | 01:22 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: you'll get something like "PV /dev/sdXY ..." | 01:23 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: at this point you may only need to do "sudo vgchange -ay" to create the device-mapper node /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root | 01:25 |
| Thanos | best ubuntu book or website for "full course" style introduction/learning? | 01:26 |
| qwebirc36342 | sudo pvscan No matching physical volumes found | 01:27 |
| qwebirc36342 | sorry i think i missed the sudo blkid | 01:28 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: hmmm, pvscan should search all devices for it | 01:28 |
| qwebirc36342 | sudo blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="69d2df4e-74b0-42a8-9d9c-61da5438d55b" TYPE="ext2" PARTUUID="d9a34f73-01" /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/sda5: UUID="1d0725f3-f39a-436f-8a46-0368e4ac572c" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTUUID="d9a34f73-05" /dev/sdb1: UUID="2017-08-01-11-51-33-00" LABEL="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS amd64" TYPE="iso9660" PTUUID="0d66cd15" PTTYPE="dos" PARTUUID="0d66cd15-01" /dev/sdb2: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="398E-230F" TYPE="vfat" PARTU | 01:29 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: oh, sda5 type crypto_LUKS ... you used full disk encryption? | 01:30 |
| qwebirc36342 | yes, actually, i did not, its my fathers machine, he did | 01:30 |
| qwebirc36342 | but full disc, i thought only the home drive | 01:31 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: right, but it has FDE so we have to install tools and open that first! | 01:31 |
| qwebirc36342 | so no really sure if it is on the entire disc, i can mount the boot folder, so that is not at least | 01:31 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: looks like it might be FDE for the OS, and in addition user home directory encryption for /home/$USER/ | 01:31 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: so, install the tools first: "sudo apt install cryptsetup" | 01:31 |
| qwebirc36342 | should already be installed i am told | 01:32 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: that's good :) so let's try opening it. I hope you know the passphrase! | 01:33 |
| qwebirc36342 | I Do! | 01:33 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: "sudo cryptsetup open --type=luks /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt" | 01:33 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: it might not like the "=" symbol, so replace that with a spac | 01:33 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: "sudo cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt" | 01:34 |
| qwebirc36342 | yup | 01:34 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: did that open it? | 01:34 |
| TJ- | qwebirc36342: you can check with "ls /dev/mapper" -- should see a sda5_crypt listed | 01:35 |
| qwebirc36342 | well it did something.. | 01:35 |

| qwebirc36342 | to tell you that i have to leave you for a while, because i havent actually tried that. my father came with it to me, because the boot was full, i deketed all but one, and not realizing that it was no finished with installation i suspect the 130 kernel is not actually there in working order, even if the folder structure is there | 01:50 |
| qwebirc36342 | 4 am here | 01:51 |
| qwebirc36342 | i expect it say something like there is no kernel. but the exact wording is not know to me at this time | 01:52 |
| qwebirc36342 | TJ > would really prefere if I do not have to leave you here trying to reboot, but if need i will try, just waiting for the confirm, cause i expect it might take a while for me to find my way back here | 01:56 |

| qwebirc17929 | Hey, Would it be possible to get some help upgrading my lan drivers? | 01:57 |
| TJ- | qwebirc17929: back now | 01:59 |
| TJ- | qwebirc17929: you don't need to reboot it... I suspect it's currently fine if it starts the .130 kernel | 01:59 |
| TJ- | qwebirc17929: so what we need to do is 'officially' remove the unwanted kernel versions | 02:00 |
| TJ- | qwebirc17929: let's see what the free space looks like, show me "pastebinit <( df )" | 02:00 |
| qwebirc17929 | Huh, free space of what? | 02:01 |
| qwebirc36342 | root@ubuntu:/# pastebinit <( df ) df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory Unable to read from: /dev/fd/63 | 02:01 |

| casperDK | sorry | 02:03 |
| ASMJunkie | Changed my name. If anyone can provide help on upgrading my lan drivers, that would be awesome. | 02:04 |
| casperDK | TJ i know you say i should stay in the shell, but nautilus does not show me a 63 folder in /dev/fd/ but there is a bunch of stuff with other numbers, only one showing up as a folder | 02:05 |
| TJ- | casperDK: I've just tested df in a chroot here and it works. Try it without pastebinit, just do "df" | 02:05 |
| casperDK | root@ubuntu:/# df df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory | 02:06 |
| casperDK | what should df do? | 02:06 |
| TJ- | casperDK: don't worry about that, the mention of fd was a temporary file-descriptor used to pipe the output of df into pastebinit | 02:06 |
| TJ- | casperDK: I think you missed a command out | 02:06 |
| TJ- | casperDK: show me "pastebinit <( cat /proc/mounts )" | 02:07 |
| TJ- | casperDK: "df" is "disk free space" - it reports used/free for all file-systems that are mounted | 02:07 |
| casperDK | cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory Unable to read from: /dev/fd/63 | 02:07 |
| TJ- | casperDK: aha! | 02:08 |
| casperDK | could there be an issue with the ssd here on top of something..? im just guessing wildly.. | 02:08 |
| casperDK | aha?? | 02:08 |
| TJ- | casperDK: missed mounting the /proc file-system somehow. Try this: "mount -t proc proc /proc" | 02:09 |
| moses | what does your path refer to in linux? | 02:09 |
| TJ- | casperDK: then try "cat /proc/mounts" again | 02:09 |
| TJ- | moses: do you mean PATH - the environment variable ? | 02:09 |
| moses | PATH yes sorry | 02:09 |
| moses | like using which to identfy a directory that is somehow linked to my PATH | 02:10 |
| TJ- | moses: it's the search path used to find executable files when you type a command | 02:10 |
| TJ- | moses: "echo $PATH" will show it | 02:10 |
| TJ- | moses: correct, 'which' searchs PATH for the command you're looking for | 02:10 |
| casperDK | root@ubuntu:/# cat /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 | 02:11 |
| TJ- | moses: "which -a" will search every directory and report all hits, without "-a" it stops after the 1st hit | 02:11 |
| TJ- | casperDK: that's better! OK "pastebinit <( df )" | 02:11 |
| moses | how come which $PATH doesnt return anything | 02:11 |
| moses | its not a command? | 02:11 |

| moses | yeah which has a binary | 02:12 |
| moses | $PATH does not | 02:12 |
| TJ- | moses: $PATH is not a command, it's a list of directories | 02:13 |
| moses | oh ok | 02:13 |
| moses | so is it a file i can look at? | 02:13 |
| TJ- | casperDK: I think somehow you didn't get the chroot set up correctly. Can you show me "pastebinit /etc/fstab" | 02:13 |
| TJ- | moses: no | 02:13 |
| TJ- | !PATH | 02:14 |
| ubottu | The $PATH variable tells the shell where to look for the commands you tell it to run. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables | 02:14 |
| illuminated | moses: if you want to see the directories contained in $PATH you can do echo $PATH | 02:15 |
| casperDK | okay, i am getting an idea here, i have not given all the details of my failed atempts, cause i did at some point mount /dev /proc and /sys to folders created with /sda1 in /mnt, because i was trying to follow a guide online, when you said i should umount sda1 I also umonut /sys /proc and /dev | 02:15 |
| casperDK | but to answer you pastebinit /etc/fstab Failed to contact the server: [Errno socket error] [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution | 02:16 |
| TJ- | casperDK: oh crikey!! that would break everything, because you'd unmount them from the Live environment too!! | 02:16 |
| casperDK | damn, should i just reboot the whole thing or is there a way to fix my mess up? | 02:17 |
| moses | So path links to the directories storing binary files | 02:17 |
| moses | PATH* | 02:17 |
| casperDK | i feel like an elephant in a glass shop | 02:17 |
| TJ- | casperDK: I think you need to reboot... first try rebooting into the installed system, if that works we can just clean it up and we're done. if it doesn't boot, use the LiveUSB again but wait for me to give you instructions before doing anything! | 02:17 |
| casperDK | sorry, will try, can i found you here on this link again> https://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=%23ubuntu | 02:18 |

| TJ- | casperDK: Yes, I'll hang about in this #ubuntu channel | 02:18 |
| moses | it stores my binary locations such that my shell can find them quicker by searching through specific directories instead of everything correct? | 02:18 |
| casperDK | thanks so much TJ, sorry for not giving all the details, i did not realize the importance, and thought there was so many people demanding your presious time.. see you in a bit\ | 02:19 |

| casperDk | 6 displays, wow | 02:26 |
| casperDk | what do i write | 02:27 |
| klandestine | how do I do that? | 02:27 |
| TJ- | casperDk: let's ensure it has the famous tool: "sudo apt install pastebinit" and then show me "pastebinit <( apt list --installed linux-image* )" | 02:27 |
| TJ- | klandestine: do what? nothing to do, just plug the additional monitor(s) in and enable/position them using the Display settings tool | 02:28 |

| casperDk | 102 was not found it seems but otherwise it completted | 02:31 |
| TJ- | klandestine: You know, I've never checked that! I think by default the TTYs only go to the first CRTC of the first GPU | 02:31 |
| TJ- | casperDk: OK, now do "sudo apt autoremove" which should remove a lot of linux-headers* packages too | 02:32 |

| casperDk | still removing packages | 02:34 |
| casperDk | 75 % | 02:34 |
| ASMJunkie | So i upgraded my lan drivers, and i'm still getting irregular disconnections from my network. | 02:34 |
| TJ- | casperDk: the trick to keeping the kernels under control is to run "apt autoremove" ocassionally to ensure the older kernels are removed. By default the last 3 kernels are kept to ensure a back-stop if the newer kernel fails | 02:34 |
| casperDk | its a trick i should have learned long ago i guess | 02:35 |
| TJ- | ASMJunkie: is this some proprietary/out-of-tree driver ? | 02:35 |
| ASMJunkie | Nope. Intel drivers from the offical site | 02:35 |
| casperDk | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Pr3B7rXj43/ | 02:35 |
| TJ- | casperDk: there is an automatic config you can use with unattended-upgrades | 02:35 |
| ASMJunkie | It happened on windows and updating the drivers fixed it | 02:35 |
| casperDk | that would maybe be good to get setup | 02:36 |

| casperDk | what is manual install | 02:39 |
| TJ- | casperDk: good | 02:39 |
| TJ- | casperDk: you'll need sudo/gksudo/pkexec permissions to edit that file | 02:39 |
| TJ- | casperDk: ensure the line does NOT start with a # (comment symbol) | 02:40 |
| TJ- | casperDk: apologies, the comment is // not # ! | 02:41 |
| casperDk | so the command i should run is _ | 02:41 |
| TJ- | casperDk: it means it was installed by a human | 02:41 |
| casperDk | ? | 02:42 |
| TJ- | casperDk: well, the command depends on what your preferred text editor is. Possibly "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" | 02:42 |
| casperDk | okay i have it opened, but i really see allot of commanded lines | 02:45 |
| casperDk | but i do not see a line like Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages | 02:46 |
| casperDk | can i pastebin the file and get you to look at it? | 02:48 |
| casperDk | TJ do you get the message as a personal if i write your name in it? | 02:48 |
| TJ- | casperDk: can you search the file using Ctrl+F then type "Kernel-Packages" | 02:49 |
| TJ- | casperDk: it's possible, as that is 16.04, this option wasn't available | 02:50 |
| casperDk | there is no hit with kernel | 02:50 |
| TJ- | casperDk: OK, so we can't set it then. I suspect it was introduced more recently | 02:50 |
| casperDk | ok | 02:50 |
| TJ- | casperDk: so, it's a case of remembering to run "sudo apt autoremove" ocassionally - which is what that option would cause to happen | 02:51 |
| casperDk | but running the apt autoremove package every month or so would do the trick to right? | 02:51 |
| casperDk | cool | 02:51 |
| TJ- | casperDk: I think you've got it fixed | 02:51 |
| casperDk | thanks so much for you help | 02:51 |
| casperDk | it was a pleasure.. | 02:51 |
| TJ- | you're welcome, hopefully you've learned a lot too :) | 02:51 |
| casperDk | sadly i am not sure i remember all of it if i end up in the same situation in the future, but i feel like i know more now, than i did a few hours back! | 02:52 |

| TJ- | troykrahn: indeed... I love the power of the shell and all the tools, and the accurate data you can get about every aspect...and more importantly, feed that data into other tools | 02:54 |
| Sveta | troykrahn: not only linux, any free software is like that. you get an opportunity to expand its documentation or improve its codes | 02:54 |
| Sveta | TJ-: don't think shell is needed, not for everyone at least | 02:54 |
| TJ- | Sveta: it is if you want to process system data effeciently | 02:54 |
| Sveta | haha | 02:54 |
| TJ- | GUIs are prescriptive - if the programmer didn't add the function, you can't do something, and can't pipe data out to another tool | 02:55 |
| casperDk | TJ, do you have a gui on your system or are you only running shell? | 02:55 |
| TJ- | casperDk: I generally run in a tmux bash shell, tmux is the login shell | 02:55 |
| Sveta | it's possible to modify the app to add the function, TJ-.. or to request such a modification :) | 02:55 |
| TJ- | casperDk: but I use Xubuntu | 02:55 |

| pressure679 | I googled the kernel source is in /usr/src, but no other packages are in there. | 03:22 |
| stonair | fishcooker: yes, it writes to database. the db is stored in /var/lib/mlocate. it way faster than find since it's indexed. | 03:23 |
| TJ- | pressure679: "apt-get source " downloads to the current directory, then extracts to a sub-directory | 03:28 |
| TJ- | pressure679: sub-dir name format is <package-name>-<version>/ | 03:28 |

| qwebirc13140 | So, desktop PC Ubuntu16.04 and laptop Ubuntu 16.04 are both connected to a router. Would you recommend I use Samba or SSH to share a directory on these two ? | 05:39 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, really depends on what you find easier, i've tried both for that same porpuse and for me ssh is easier | 05:42 |
| qwebirc13140 | I haven't tried either, SSH or Samba. Just installed Samba. ssh seems to have many varients. | 05:44 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, well, except that what i wanted really was to access all the files from the other computer, so maybe it wasn't exactly the same porpuse | 05:44 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, 1 ssh is what i use the most, so i can tell you is like this: run "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" on all the computers you want to access | 05:45 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, 2 from the other computers use any sftp tool | 05:46 |
| qwebirc13140 | OK. Will take a look at openssh-server Thanks | 05:46 |
| Exaeta | Christel just posted this "denial" on the freenode blog https://freenode.net/news/spam-shake | 05:46 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, to connect to the other computers u previously installed openssh server | 05:47 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, to connect u'll need the ip or domain of server, user and password of that user | 05:47 |
| qwebirc13140 | OK. Install openssh-server on the 2 PCs I want sharing between. | 05:48 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, good, now for the client you have a few options, personally i use pcmanfm | 05:48 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, i go to tools>connect to server | 05:49 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, and there i just select "ssh", type the ip, user, pass and thats it | 05:49 |

| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, i dont know if your file manager of preference support something like that, but theres another way | 05:50 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 OK. Will try pcmanfm as a Client. I would like the other PC's directory to show up in Nautilus as shared | 05:50 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, nautilus probably support something like that | 05:51 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, try searching on the web something like "how to connect to ssh or sftp with nautilus in ubuntu" | 05:51 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, or you can use sshfs | 05:52 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 I can see it there, just haven't got the name network details to enter there, other machine name etc | 05:52 |

| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, as i said earlier what u need to connect to a ssh server is: ip, username, and password of that user | 05:53 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 Thanks D. Will look into it, ssh-server I just don't want to drop security with a hole. So it'll take me some time. You've been great. Cheers. | 05:53 |

| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, well ssh is encrypted and pretty secure, i dont know what exaclty are u looking for in termns of security | 05:55 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 I just don't want to leave a hole, unsecured, for outsiders to see same common shared directory. Healthy paranoia. | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | qwebirc13140: see also fail2ban to protect ssh | 05:57 |
| qwebirc13140 | OK | 05:57 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, with outsiders you mean attackers from the internet? | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | !info fail2ban | qwebirc13140 | 05:57 |
| ubottu | qwebirc13140: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.2-2 (bionic), package size 321 kB, installed size 1698 kB | 05:57 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 not outsiders. This is 2 PCs connected to the same router which connects to my ISP. But, passwords in SSH it should be fine. Never done this, so, am cautious. | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | qwebirc13140: if its connected to your isp, it means outsiders can scan your ssh | 06:00 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, for greater security you can make ssh use keys, but i just remember that there was a gui to configure shared folders using samba | 06:00 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, the package is system-config-samba | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | qwebirc13140: i would advice to scan yourself with nmap, see wich ports are open on your ip adress | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | qwebirc13140: alternate its also wise to setup ssh on a non-default port | 06:01 |
| qwebirc13140 | Yep, nmap, I know it. But not for a while. | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | qwebirc13140: its easy: nmap -PN -sV youriphere | 06:02 |
| qwebirc13140 | OK | 06:02 |
| chasehead | hello | 06:05 |
| danieru98 | qwebirc13140, if you decide u really only want to share one folder, or want better windows compatibility, you can try with system-config-samba to configure it with a gui, and not by editing the actual config file like i did (its a pain) | 06:06 |
| danieru98 | https://screenshots.debian.net/package/system-config-samba | 06:06 |
| qwebirc13140 | danieru98 Thanks D. No - windows compat unimportant. It'd be nice for Nautilus to see the one folder. Will look into ssh-server first. Thanks. Take care. | 06:08 |

| burzos | mayankmadan: What recent change did you make to the system? | 09:04 |
| mayankmadan | burzos, nothing. The laptop came with windows 10 and i just installed ubuntu 18.04 on it | 09:05 |
| burzos | Ok, so installing Ubuntu was the changed thing. | 09:06 |
| burzos | Lag means the display is "behind" the system's state? | 09:06 |
| mayankmadan | burzos, not really. what i meant was its really slow to respond | 09:08 |
| burzos | What happens if you play a music file? Does it sound distorted or just the screen is behind? | 09:10 |
| worstje | Is it just a video issue? | 09:13 |
| kiwi-os | hello? | 09:15 |
| kiwi-os | Could someone help me? | 09:15 |
| worstje | kiwi-os: Just ask your question directly, don't ask to ask. :-) | 09:16 |
| kiwi-os | Okay | 09:16 |
| mayankmadan | not just a video issue. The machine is overall really slow | 09:16 |
| mayankmadan | for example, it takes about 20 seconds to open firefox after startup | 09:17 |
| kiwi-os | Well, I'm making I spin of ubuntu from this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and I don't know how to add packages to my spin and it doesn't explain how | 09:17 |
| mayankmadan | but it then gets a little better after sometime | 09:18 |
| kiwi-os | Maybe it gets faster over time? That happens to me with new installs | 09:19 |
| burzos | How do you know it's slow to load firefox and not just slow to display it? | 09:19 |
| mayankmadan | i didnt even know there was a difference :) | 09:20 |
| burzos | Maybe take a look at `top` and see if anything is holding the CPU. | 09:20 |
| burzos | Like worstje said, it might just be a video problem. | 09:20 |
| burzos | Or it might really be a process performance issue. | 09:21 |
| mayankmadan | could it be a nvidia issue? because ive been running ubuntu on my other machine without any problems | 09:21 |
| mayankmadan | beacause there is always screen tearing | 09:23 |
| kiwi-os | Probably a driver issue | 09:23 |
| it_ | Is it still ok to ask questions related to ubuntu precise?.. | 09:24 |
| kiwi-os | I'm making I spin of ubuntu from this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and I don't know how to add packages to my spin and it doesn't explain how | 09:24 |
| guiverc | please be more patient kiwi-os - give people time to answer (if they can) | 09:25 |
| chen__ | ls | 09:26 |
| kiwi-os | ? | 09:26 |
| guiverc | kiwi-os, sorry I can't help with your solution, but alternatives are create your 'wanted' environment on a box; then create your iso from that install. many scripts will do this (i've not used any, so can only be general, eg. i think 'konstructor' (or something like that, by the creator of makulu linux; which is based on ubuntu - the script he uses) | 09:26 |
| guiverc | kiwi-os, i meant don't repeat your question so quickly - i was trying to answer; but had to delete to deal with 'patience' request... | 09:27 |
| kiwi-os | sorry | 09:27 |
| guiverc | there are other such scripts - but I've used none; only read about them once or twice a year when a new one comes out... | 09:28 |
| mayankmadan | the animations are choppy. Thats the term i was looking for :) | 09:28 |
| kiwi-os | okay, thank you though | 09:28 |
| guiverc | you're most welcome kiwi-os | 09:29 |
| burzos | mayankmadan: To confirm it's not a app performance problem. Run this command and post the results. | 09:31 |
| burzos | `top -b -n 1 | head -n5` | 09:31 |
| mayankmadan | https://pastebin.com/irafqifQ | 09:34 |
| burzos | 20 GB swap seems large; any reason for that? | 09:38 |
| burzos | And your CPU isn't underload, so it's probably a video issue. | 09:41 |
| burzos | Try googling your driver, video card on Linux. | 09:41 |

| Gimmel | Hi all, just a quick cli check. 'apt-get update' updates the list of packages. 'apt-get upgrade' then installs them. I've just run 'apt-get update' and then software updater popped up updates it wants to install (makes sense). In the list on the GUI it shows some Security Updates and Ubuntu Base packages. These don't seem to be included in the list that 'apt-get upgrade' gives me. Is there another command | 11:13 |
| Gimmel | for updating the core files? | 11:13 |
| ppf | Gimmel: apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:13 |
| ppf | or apt full-upgrade | 11:14 |
| ppf | but note that apt upgrade != apt-get upgrade | 11:14 |
| Gimmel | ppf: thanks, I'll look up those. I just prefer to have my head around what the cli equivalent is doing rather than relying on the gui. | 11:15 |
| guiverc | butax42, upgrade has limits on what it can upgrade; see `man apt-get` and search for dist-upgrade (right after upgrade) and it'll tell you what it can do beyond upgrade's limits | 11:15 |
| guiverc | Gimmel, "dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a 'smart' conflict resolution system....." | 11:17 |
| Gimmel | So am I right that 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will do what 'apt-get upgrade' would have done, but with some smarter deps handling? | 11:17 |
| Gimmel | guiverc: Yup, just read that. Thanks. | 11:17 |
| ppf | or in other words, it will install the remaining packages | 11:17 |
| Gimmel | ppf: including the core stuff, yeah? | 11:18 |

| gloomy_ | Hi :) | 13:02 |
| gloomy_ | What can I use to extract an .iso from a bootable usb drive? | 13:02 |
| gloomy_ | there's tons of tutorials for the other way around but coudn't find much on this | 13:02 |
| Furai | Whaaaat? Who called me? | 13:02 |
| JimBuntu | gloomy_, dd the entire drive to a new file? | 13:05 |
| gloomy_ | JimBuntu dd if=drive/path/ of=file.iso? | 13:05 |
| JimBuntu | gloomy_, I would suggest something more like dd =id/device/path of=file.iso but you get the idea | 13:06 |
| JimBuntu | oops. ignore the typos | 13:06 |
| JimBuntu | gloomy_, my point is to image the device, not the mount point... | 13:06 |
| gloomy_ | Didn't know it worked like that. Thanks :) | 13:07 |
| JimBuntu | gloomy_, Well, there are caveats but I assume you were not being strict in your use of the term ISO and simply mean 'How can I make a copy of X that I can reuse with other drives or share with other users' | 13:07 |
| JimBuntu | If you intend to share it... rewrite all empty space with 0s (or something similar, not random) first... then you can compress the raw output file.... assuming there is a fair amount of "empty" space in the partitions | 13:08 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: there's one problem with using dd - the flash device might be 32GB but the ISO image only 1GB... dd is going to copy the entirte 32GB unless you limit it by knowing how big the ISO image is | 13:08 |
| gloomy_ | The usecase is I'm trying to install puppy linux (not ubuntu I know but #puppylinux is deserted :p) from a bootable usb and for some reason it needs an .iso. Will see if your way works :) | 13:09 |
| gloomy_ | Ah yes that's a problem. | 13:09 |
| JimBuntu | TJ-, is correct... for optimal use, make each partition as small as reasonable and 'man dd' for how to use BS and COUNT | 13:09 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: it may be that "sudo file -s /dev/sdd" might tell you the size of the ISO image though | 13:09 |
| gloomy_ | The computer only has 4gb of ram so it won't be able to contain an iso of a 16gb drive | 13:10 |
| bieb | I have this lenovo desktop https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre_M710_SFF?M=10M7000SUS I have installed Ubuntu 18.04, there are 2 display ports. I am trying to setup dual monitors, but when I look in settings I only see the one display. Any ideas or how-tos that anyone can point to, to get this set up? | 13:10 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: if so, you can use dd options "bs=<size-in-bytes-of-ISO> count=1" | 13:10 |
| gloomy_ | Fuck it, I'll just copy the iso into a directory of the bootable usb from my other computer. Too much fuss :p | 13:11 |
| gloomy_ | Thanks for helping | 13:11 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: sounds a bit weird, that, usually the ISO file is written onto the device and boots directly, not via some other loader. GRUB does provide a mechansim to boot arbitrary ISO images though | 13:13 |
| gloomy_ | Yes, I burned the iso into the usb stick and booted from it | 13:14 |
| gloomy_ | But the installer (to install the os directly on the hdd) wants an iso for whatever reason | 13:14 |
| gloomy_ | which is stupid | 13:14 |
| gloomy_ | but I didn't make it that way :p | 13:14 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: sounds like the installer ISO itself is broken, or needs a reference to itself | 13:14 |
| gloomy_ | It's probably because puppy isn't really meant to be installed to the internal hard drive... meh? | 13:15 |
| TJ- | gloomy_: I've seen that happen with some broken PC firmwares where at boot-time it puts the device order different to what the OS discovers, so the boot device according to the firmware/GRUB ends up not being the OS's /dev/sda or /dev/sr0 | 13:16 |

| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: the directory doesn't exist, unless you've created it since. Do "sudo mkdir /etc/mysql/conf.d" then "sudo systemctl start mysql" | 14:26 |
| RonaldsMazitis | Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. | 14:26 |

| RonaldsMazitis | any idea how to do this? | 14:34 |
| jelly | bucketm0use, ah right, missed it. Well it's a package from universe which is pretty much unmaintained as far as I understand it. It's also a bit ironic that it's a pacakge dealing with uid and gid management but apparently can't manage its own. Dirty workaround: edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/munge.postinst, find the line containing "adduser --system ... munge" command, append this to that line: || true | 14:35 |
| jelly | bucketm0use, then run "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get -f install" to let any pending apt actions finish | 14:35 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: let's try starting it directly rather than as a service: "sudo mysqld --verbose --help --innodb-read-only |& tee /tmp/mysqld.log" then "pastebinit /tmp/mysqld.log" | 14:36 |

| EriC^^ | cromulon: sources are supposed to be named something.list | 14:40 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: hmmm! I wonder if the mysqld log itself is more helpful. "pastebinit <( sudo ls -latr /var/log/mysql/ ; sudo tail -n 200 /var/log/mysql/error.log )" | 14:41 |
| RonaldsMazitis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NRhpZFPZh6/ | 14:41 |

| tripelb | thanks JimBuntu | 14:42 |
| EriC^^ | cromulon: "This is a new format supported by apt itself since version 1.1. Previous versions ignore such files with a notice message as described earlier." | 14:43 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: quite a few issues there reported as ERRORs - from last to first, "[ERROR] 1819 Your password does not satisfy the current policy requirements" "[ERROR] InnoDB: Error number 28 means 'No space left on device'" <<<-- out of disk space | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | cromulon: the correct file nam extension would be .list | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | oh EriC^^ beat me to it | 14:44 |
| EriC^^ | cromulon: renaming it .list won't work either, it uses colons and whatnot, i think you'd need to convert to normal apt format pre 1.1 | 14:44 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: looks like you fixed that earlier out of disk space, that was timestamped at 13:03, latet run was at 13:15... and since then nothing. What is the system's current time now? | 14:44 |
| cromulon | EriC^^: if I rename the file it doesnt seem to read it as as deb822 format E: Type ‘Types:’ is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/main.list | 14:44 |
| EriC^^ | cromulon: yes, exactly | 14:45 |

| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: right, so the last time mysqld actually ran was 13:15, 4.5 hours ago | 14:45 |
| RonaldsMazitis | so why it does not run now | 14:46 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: so we're back to the apparmor issues it seems. I think we need to trace what is going on at a system level to understand this. "sudo apt install strace" | 14:46 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: then do "sudo strace -fe trace=file /usr/sbin/mysqld --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid |& tee /tmp/mysqld-strace.log" then "pastebinit /tmp/mysqld-strace.log" | 14:47 |
| tomreyn | adroit_machine: it doesn't have to be called 'wifi'. running "iwconfig" should help dtermine the interface, and "ip a INTERFACE" will tell its ip address. | 14:48 |

| JimBuntu | Simonious, is that working for you? It sounds like WiFi hasn't been activated until after log-in | 15:08 |
| Simonious | JimBuntu: it's worse than that, wifi isn't activated until after I perform an outgoing connection or ping using that adapter | 15:09 |
| Simonious | JimBuntu: I don't yet know if the cron solution is working, I've just implimented it. | 15:09 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: so the mysql server runs on the same computer you're chattting from? | 15:10 |
| TJ- | tomreyn: hopefully silence is a good sign :) | 15:10 |
| tomreyn | TJ-: i would think RonaldsMazitis is investigating the current state | 15:11 |
| JimBuntu | Simonious, I don't think the cron task will work unless you only need it to run once per hour | 15:11 |
| Simonious | JimBuntu: I don't know how often it needs a kick in the pants | 15:12 |
| JimBuntu | Simonious, in your network manager GUI, if you edit the connection, does it show it's enabled for all users? | 15:12 |
| Simonious | JimBuntu: looks like I can make a cron job run every 5 minutes if I want | 15:12 |
| Simonious | JimBuntu: I don't trust/use the GUI (but yes, it does) | 15:13 |
| TJ- | Simonious: your issue is the wired interface taking preference over the wifi, whereas you want them both up at the same time I think ? | 15:13 |
| RonaldsMazitis | TJ-: I restarted | 15:13 |
| RonaldsMazitis | now I need to restart installation or what? | 15:13 |
| RonaldsMazitis | now I need to restart installation or what? | 15:13 |

| TJ- | Simonious: hang on, the wifi requires a passphrase (PSK) or uses a certificate? Because it is possible that has been saved in the user key-ring and needs the user to log-in first to access it | 15:14 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: looks full to me | 15:15 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I have 4 gb free on home dir | 15:15 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: so now your task is to free up some space on the root file-system | 15:15 |
| RonaldsMazitis | how | 15:15 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis:normally you'd have a separate /var partition or /var/lib/mysql for mysql | 15:15 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: is there actually any daa in mysql that you want / need to keep? | 15:16 |
| tomreyn | *data | 15:16 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: no, you don't. The remaining 'available' is reserved blocks for root only, but the GUI tools don't show that. Typically ext3/4 file-systems reserve 5% space for root so on disk-full the root user can still operate to fix it | 15:16 |
| RonaldsMazitis | so I need to delete programms? | 15:17 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: tomreyn best to discover where the space is being used, I'd bet it's in $HOME: "sudo du -x -d 3 / | sort -n" | 15:17 |
| Simonious | TJ-: it does need a passphrase, however that is stored where it is supposed to be and is correctly found on boot per the syslog | 15:17 |

| TJ- | Simonious: that sounds like it could cause this | 15:20 |
| TJ- | Simonious: have you recently rebooted that PC? I want to get a recent log of the boot-time actions of NM | 15:20 |
| TJ- | RonaldsMazitis: you could also reduce the reserved blocks to 2% with "sudo tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sda1" | 15:21 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: what is consuming those 575 GB of storage on / mostly? is it just mysql? ubuntu itself wont take more than 10 or 20 GB. | 15:21 |

| TJ- | Simonious: so I'm still thinking its either some radio interference source, or the power-saving of the wifi device | 15:35 |
| TJ- | Simonious: right, that's what APs are supposed to do when they're advertising the same BSSID | 15:36 |
| TJ- | Simonious: the logs are your best resource for solving this boot-time issue | 15:36 |
| Simonious | TJ-: the interference idea doesn't sound right, is there a reasonable way to check for that? - maybe a cell phone with a wifi signal analyzer? | 15:36 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I'm not great at analyzing logs.. | 15:36 |
| Simonious | TJ-: .. or even finding them in many cases | 15:36 |
| RonaldsMazitis | how long can 14 mb sql file import? | 15:37 |
| TJ- | Simonious: no, it can be things like a microwave oven, baby monitor, video doorbell... they all can use the same unlicensed spectrum, and they don't use the same transmission scheme as wifi or bluetooth, so they can interfere easily | 15:37 |
| TJ- | Simonious: "pastebinit <( tail -n 2000 /var/log/syslog )" | 15:37 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I never knew there needs to be specific partition just for mysql | 15:38 |
| Simonious | TJ-: if I'm going to share that log, I'd prefer to keep it private | 15:38 |
| TJ- | Simonious: everything in there is pretty standard, it doesn't reveal passwords or such. | 15:38 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: it doesn't have to be, but if you're serious about it, it should be. you'd also want mirror raid at least. | 15:38 |
| Simonious | TJ-: IPs I just don't want to invite any abuse | 15:39 |
| TJ- | Simonious: your IP address is already visisble | 15:41 |
| RonaldsMazitis | ok, so I got my database back | 15:41 |
| RonaldsMazitis | it's just 17 days old | 15:42 |
| TJ- | Simonious: I did notice the AP is operating at 5.16GHz but the bitrate is only 6 Mb/s which suggests a very weak connection, it should be much higher | 15:42 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I must take copy's more often, because this would be very bad as it is. | 15:42 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: you'd also not run a graphical desktop on the same computer normally (unless, maybe, the mysql server is there just for development purposes, but even then i'd compartmentalize it) | 15:42 |
| * Simonious ponders | 15:42 | |
| TJ- | Simonious: in all the years I've been here I've never heard of anyone having issues as a result of sharing these logs, but its up to you. | 15:43 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitisif the data is relevant, you probably want to take nightly backups or run a cluster. | 15:43 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I'm not willing to publically share that log, I'd email it to you. | 15:43 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I know that isn't much better than public, but there it is. | 15:43 |
| TJ- | Simonious: sorry, that's not how we do support here. We share in the channel so everyone can contribute. | 15:44 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I understand, I'm just not going to share internal network details. | 15:44 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: ...a cluster with a mysql server which is dedicated to getting backups out of it. | 15:44 |
| Simonious | TJ-: here is an interesting line from that log: Aug 7 08:52:20 BS-1 NetworkManager[22234]: <info> [1533649940.6532] device (wlan0): state change: activated -> deactivating (reason 'unmanaged', sys-iface-state: 'managed') | 15:45 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: another option is to run backups live without much locking if you use LVM snapshotting and innobackupex to backup. | 15:46 |
| tomreyn | this can be done on a single node, too | 15:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | getting normal sql files for my project works | 15:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I will just do them more ofter | 15:46 |
| RonaldsMazitis | often * | 15:46 |
| tomreyn | if this is the only change you'll make as a result of today's experience then you didn't learn much from it. ;) | 15:47 |
| TJ- | Simonious: that might suggeset there's something else besides NM configured to manage wlan0 | 15:48 |
| TJ- | Simonious: have you been playing with netplan/systemd-networkd/ifupdown ? | 15:48 |
| Simonious | hmm | 15:48 |
| TJ- | Simonious: or wicd/wpa_supplicant? | 15:48 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I'e been in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 15:49 |
| TJ- | Simonious: NM's own system-connections isn't an issue. The message "unmanaged" suggests NM thinks it no longer is responsible for managing that interface. Was that message recent, or from some time ago when you were experimenting? | 15:50 |
| TJ- | Simonious: NM will control it's own instance of wpa_supplicant, so if you've edited /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf it's possible you've got that starting as it's own stand-alone service and interfering | 15:51 |
| Simonious | that was 2 hours ago during some experimenting | 15:51 |
| Simonious | TJ-: doesn't look like much in there: https://ghostbin.com/paste/kt5j8 | 15:52 |
| TJ- | Simonious: NM should kick off a connection with a message like this. It'll then log what it's doing including the values it is going to pass to wpa_supplicant, and you will see messages from wpa_supplicant too. e.g. "NetworkManager[27837]: <info> [1533641540.9641] policy: auto-activating connection 'wifi5.lan.iam.tj'" | 15:54 |
| TJ- | Simonious: remove/backup /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, that is going to get in the way since when wpa_supplicant starts it'll use that instead of what NM tells it | 15:56 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I see 10 such messages from this morning, I assume from my swapping wireless network adapters back and forth, not sure. | 15:56 |
| Simonious | TJ-: moved | 15:56 |
| TJ- | Simonious: that would sound about correct; remove wpa_supplicant.conf, do a reboot test, check /var/log/syslog for the latest boot see what NM and wpa_supplicant report/do | 15:57 |
| Simonious | TJ-: shall I remove the cron kludge first? | 15:57 |
| TJ- | Give it about 1.5 minutes to get started | 15:57 |
| TJ- | Simonious: yeah, that'd be good, else you might have unintended interactions | 15:57 |
| Simonious | TJ-: may I leave the wired connection in place? | 15:57 |
| TJ- | Simonious: yes, leave it all as it is supposed to be when working perfectly :) | 15:58 |
| Simonious | TJ-: ok, rebooting | 15:58 |
| aidrocsid | Setting up my Ubuntu 18.04 VPS for Wordpress. Apache works, PHP was fine last I checked, SSL is working, I have fail2boot and my firewall and all that set up, but when I try to set up databases for wordpress I start getting errors about not being able to find mysqld.sock. I tried making the directory and chowning it to mysql but it didn't do any good. I tried uninstalling and purging then reinstalling | 15:59 |
| aidrocsid | mysql, now when I try to start the server I get "job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory | 16:00 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| TJ- | aidrocsid: mysqld.sock is a socket, not a directory. If you've created a directory the socket won't be able to be created | 16:01 |
| aidrocsid | doh | 16:01 |
| TJ- | aidrocsid: and the socket is used for communication | 16:01 |
| aidrocsid | so delete the directory? | 16:01 |
| TJ- | aidrocsid: indeed | 16:02 |
| aidrocsid | ty <3 | 16:02 |
| Simonious | TJ-: on reboot I was able to ssh in to the wifi IP of the target first try | 16:02 |
| Simonious | TJ-: however it seized almost right away :/ | 16:03 |
| TJ- | Simonious: right, so now you need to examine the logs to discover what happened | 16:03 |
| TJ- | Simonious: that's syslog and kern.log/dmesg. There may be a hardware/firmware problem - I suspect the link dropped | 16:04 |
| TJ- | Simonious: what kind of antenna does this PC have? because at 5GHz any slight blocking of the line-of-sight like a human body moving between them, could interfere | 16:04 |
| Simonious | TJ-: it's a lappy, so internal monitor antenna I'm guessing | 16:04 |
| Simonious | TJ-: oh odd.. it's also dropping the wired ssh sessions almost right away too | 16:05 |
| TJ- | Simonious: right, notorious for problems in low-signal-strength situations. Is there a 2.4GHz alternative channel you could use? | 16:05 |
| TJ- | Simonious: the drop could be because when an interface goes down (as you should see in the logs) the sshd is restarted | 16:06 |
| === amirpro_ is now known as amirpro | ||

| aidrocsid | no, i had created /var/run/mysqld/ because it wasn't there, then chowned it to mysql | 16:16 |

| Simonious | TJ-: hmm even after putting wpa_supplicant.conf back and rebooting I'm not longer able to get reliable ssh sessions even via the wired. *sighs* | 16:19 |
| TJ- | Simonious: there'll be clues in the log files somewhere | 16:19 |
| TJ- | Simonious: go and sit your laptop right next to the nearest AP - as a test! - and try it. That'll help determine if it is a signal strength/interference issue | 16:19 |
| aidrocsid | Gotta get you a cantenna | 16:20 |
| TJ- | Simonious: 6Mbps link rate is low, especially for 802.11a | 16:20 |
| Simonious | TJ-: here is a partial log (my screen) before it dropped me again https://ghostbin.com/paste/ydqj8 | 16:20 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I don't think that number means what you think it means - that target has no traffic to speak of, that number would be way higher if there was traffic. | 16:21 |
| Simonious | I can certainly go sit on an AP though | 16:21 |
| aidrocsid | TJ should I just do sudo apt-get remove -y mysql-* and sudo apt-get purge -y mysql-* ? | 16:22 |
| aidrocsid | Then like, start again | 16:22 |
| TJ- | Simonious: not sure I like that "noise" value: "CTRL-EVENT-SIGNAL-CHANGE above=1 signal=-58 noise=9999 txrate=6000" | 16:23 |

| aidrocsid | I haven't managed to make any that matter yet | 16:24 |
| aidrocsid | Just installing PHP doesn't rely on a mysql database does it? | 16:24 |
| TJ- | Simonious: oh don't worry about noise=9999, that's what mine reports too | 16:24 |
| TJ- | aidrocsid: no | 16:24 |

| TJ- | Simonious: it's worth testing with that, see if it gets a better/worse link | 16:26 |
| Simonious | TJ-: I would, but this not being able to sustain a wired ssh session is killing me | 16:26 |
| Simonious | TJ-: this is new too | 16:26 |
| TJ- | Simonious: my gut feeling is still radio problems/interference | 16:27 |
| Simonious | TJ-: to my knowledge that hasn't been an issue with other targets | 16:28 |
| * Simonious ponders | 16:28 | |
| TJ- | Simonious: having built a wireless ISP this stuff is very familiar to me, but without data (logs) it's still just guessing | 16:28 |
| Simonious | TJ-: that doesn't really explain the wired ssh dropping like mad now | 16:30 |
| TJ- | Simonious: not sure if it is related but in your log extract I see a USB device erorr report | 16:30 |
| Simonious | TJ-: that's a new thing too btw | 16:30 |
| TJ- | Simonious: check dmesg for device problems | 16:31 |

| iceiceice | its ubuntu mate 16.04 | 17:44 |
| iceiceice | i think i'm use xorg but i'm not sure | 17:44 |
| TJ- | iceiceice: yes, so you could use the command-line tool "xrandr" to try to do the rotation manually | 17:44 |

| pragmaticenigma | Nivex: trying to track it down | 17:45 |
| Nivex | pragmaticenigma: cool, thanks. | 17:46 |
| TJ- | iceiceice: "xrandr -q" to get a list of the outputs, choose the correct output (let's assume it's HDMI-0) then do "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --rotation left" ( or 'right' or 'inverted') | 17:46 |

| pragmaticenigma | Nivex: You can bypass the check. The LTS-to-Normal path is working for most people. You can update the update settings from LTS to Normal releases.

| ubottu | jnewt: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 17:58 |

| Nivex | yeah, I know about the bypass. I just figured there were reasons why it hadn't been enabled and without knowing what those are I didn't want to pull that trigger | 17:59 |

| ironpillow | hi all, I have a ubuntu box (quad core, 8GB memory) as a router and have two access points. I am running dnsmasq as dhcp and dns server. I have around 30 wifi devices connecting to the network. For some reason, the ubuntu box randomly looses internet. I can't ping 8.8.8.8 or google.com. But as soon as I reboot the ubuntu box, it works. I don't change anything. Any advice? really appreciate it | 18:29 |
| ironpillow | oh I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS | 18:35 |
| TJ- | ironpillow: is the upstream link to the Internet using wired or wireless? | 18:36 |

| DynV | I currently don't have a HDD so am running a live 18.04. I don't have a connection where I currently reside. I'd like to play some game but I will have to power off so everything will be gone. I'm hoping to find a binary that I could run as is. I'd appreciate help. | 18:39 |
| TJ- | ironpillow: if it's dropping check dmesg or /var/log/kern.log for clues | 18:39 |
| ironpillow | TJ-: ok checking right now | 18:40 |
| TJ- | ironpillow: also, if it uses NetworkManager, /var/log/syslog | 18:40 |
| Guest18317 | Testing | 18:40 |
| TJ- | ironpillow: otherwise systemd-networkd logs via journalctl -u systemd-networkd | 18:40 |

| ryuo | FreeBDSM: https://tracker.debian.org/news/937602/removed-12-81-from-unstable/ | 21:42 |

| FreeBDSM | ryuo: that page basically says that the util got some fix and became more stable... and thus got dropped? | 21:43 |
| timeless | FreeBDSM: no | 21:43 |
| timeless | there's no maintainers for the project | 21:43 |
| FreeBDSM | "We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable" | 21:43 |
| timeless | and it relies on a package which is unsupported/obsolete intended to be dropped | 21:43 |
| timeless | that's just debian messaging, if you read the bug report linked from the bottom, you'll see the bug report was ~ "please remove this package" | 21:44 |
| timeless | and thus the bug report was "fixed" by removing the package | 21:44 |

| tomreyn | (or had) | 22:53 |
| andrewh | i had up to three | 22:53 |
| andrewh | i can't remember how many I had in at a time, but at least two | 22:53 |
| andrewh | I think it was just two | 22:54 |
| andrewh | one wasn't a cruzer blade | 22:54 |
| tomreyn | can you run "dmesg -w", then remove all usb devices you don't strictly need to have connected? | 22:54 |
| tomreyn | then ctrl-c the dmesg and post its output to https://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:54 |
| andrewh | ok, i'll remove all but the first i tried | 22:54 |
| andrewh | that does nothing | 22:55 |
| andrewh | ctrl-c doesn't copy in the command line | 22:55 |
| tomreyn | use ctrl-shift-c | 22:56 |
| kk4ewt | control-shift-c does | 22:56 |
| andrewh | nope | 22:57 |
| andrewh | it just quits | 22:57 |
| tomreyn | what quits? | 22:57 |
| andrewh | dmesg | 22:57 |
| tomreyn | you're copying while it's still running? | 22:57 |
| TJ- | andrewh: that's what tomreyn meant, Ctrl+C to interrupt/terminate dmesg :) | 22:58 |
| TJ- | andrewh: *then* copy the lines shown on-screen to a pastebin | 22:58 |
| andrewh | ohh ok | 22:58 |
| andrewh | which lines do you want me to copy? All of it? | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | yes, but i need the output, too, so it's ctrl-c, then ctrl-shif-c after highlighting the text to copy | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: form the first time it says something about USB disconnect | 22:59 |
| TJ- | andrewh: or just do "pastebinit <( dmesg | tail -n 250 )" | 22:59 |
| andrewh | so you mean the new lines after i disconnected the usb sticks? | 22:59 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: or just use TJ's command ;) | 22:59 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: from when you started disconnecting them, yes | 22:59 |
| andrewh | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DyYsZw8sMn/ | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: so you have 2 times 2 USB 2.0 ports, and many more USB 1.1 ports. there's not a huge difference in that in terms of speed (both somewhat slow but todays' standards). but it would still be a good idea to identify and use any kind of storages (such as usb sticks) on the usb 2.0 ports whenever possible. | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: please "umount /dev/sdc1" | 23:02 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: those 3 usb devices you just disconnected were on usb 1.1 | 23:02 |
| andrewh | no | 23:03 |
| andrewh | hang on | 23:03 |
| andrewh | i thought i had 8 usb 3 ports and 4 usb 2 ports | 23:03 |
| andrewh | usb 3 ports are blue right? | 23:03 |
| TJ- | andrewh: yes | 23:04 |
| tomreyn | andrewh: yes, they are, but linux doesn't see any 3.0 ports. or i didnt | 23:04 |
| andrewh | i have 8 blue ports and 4 black ports. I have one usb connected to a blue port and two of the three i disconnected were connected to a blue port, one was connected to a black port. | 23:04 |
| andrewh | that's weird | 23:05 |
| tomreyn | i'm blind | 23:05 |
| TJ- | andrewh: there are known issues with USB3 chipsets when some USB2 devices are connected to them, the XHCI controller doesn't always behave properly | 23:05 |
| TJ- | andrewh: so if your USB storage devices are USB2 try only using them in the USB2 ports, and same for USB3 devices | 23:06 |
| andrewh | ok, i think usb drives i've had problems wtih are usb 2 connected to usb 3 mostly | 23:06 |
| andrewh | however, there was one that was usb 2 connected to a usb 2 port i think | 23:06 |
| andrewh | it still had a problem | 23:06 |
| andrewh | in dmesg, it says usb 3-11, usb 3-12, and usb 3-14, does that mean they're usb 3 ports? | 23:07 |
| andrewh | because usb 3-11 is black and the others are blue | 23:07 |
| TJ- | andrewh: to complicate matters there's often a port-switching hub in front of the controller chips, so the ports are switched from XHCI (USB3) to EHCI (USB2) controller based on the device | 23:07 |
| TJ- | andrewh: no, usb 3-11 means USB bus 3, device 11 | 23:08 |
| TJ- | andrewh: try "lsusb" to see | 23:08 |
| andrewh | i'm going to reinstall | 23:12 |
| tomreyn | huh | 23:12 |
| tomreyn | ok | 23:12 |
| tomreyn | thanks for helping me out there TJ- | 23:13 |
| TJ- | tomreyn: not sure we got to the bottom of it ... could even be power starvation on the ports, due to an underpowered PSU | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | could be, i don't know how to diagnose this easily | 23:14 |

| tomreyn | surely they have two usb storages with unclean vfat fs on them | 23:14 |
| tomreyn | and i guided them to mount one of them r/w, which i should not have done | 23:15 |
| TJ- | I thought the FS won't mount rw if it's dirty? | 23:15 |
| tomreyn | it will mount ro then | 23:16 |
| tomreyn | for vfat | 23:16 |
| tomreyn | with udisks | 23:16 |
| TJ- | I thought the FS drivers enforced it | 23:20 |
| tomreyn | only for journalled FS, i think | 23:20 |
| TJ- | will have to play about with some | 23:20 |
| TJ- | had some fun earlier, helping a chap with a really old server that only had 2 SCSI CD-ROM drives + HHDs needing to boot it from a Knoppix 6 (2009) CD (based on Debian) - and the kernel image didn't have the scsi controller driver built in, and no modules in the initrd! | 23:22 |
| TJ- | we had some fun figuring out how to get the module out of the rootfs and into the system when the initrd dropped to a shell | 23:22 |
| * tomreyn opens container bin lid and looks full of expectation | 23:23 | |
| tomreyn | still a fascinating way to spend your day, i agree. | 23:25 |
| TJ- | right, as it's gone midnight I really ought to take the PC inside, got bugs all over the screen, and for once I don't have to report them :) | 23:30 |

| de-facto | Guys, how do i load a module WITH PARAMS at bootup automatically? I tried to put it in /etc/modules and "update-initramfs" as well as "update-grub" yet it does not load. "systemctl restart systemd-modules-load" exits with errors :/ | 23:35 |
| de-facto | i put "modulename param1=val1 param2=val2" in /etc/modules | 23:35 |
| de-facto | the module is a dkms install | 23:35 |
| TJ- | de-facto: usually options go in via /etc/modprobe.d/ files | 23:36 |
| TJ- | de-facto: but /etc/modules should be honoured too | 23:37 |
| TJ- | de-facto: which Ubuntu release is it? | 23:37 |
| de-facto | 18.04 | 23:37 |
| de-facto | at least its symlinked from /etc/modules-load.d | 23:37 |
| TJ- | de-facto: for loading during initramfs, it's /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 23:38 |
| rootweiler | My name is homage to The Ubuntu | 23:42 |
| de-facto | TJ-, its the dkms module from "v4l2loopback-dkms" package. which would be the appropriate place to load it during boot with params? is there a possible place where it autobuilds/autoloads for new kernels (dkms)? | 23:43 |
| leftyfb | rootweiler: can we help you with something? | 23:46 |
| rootweiler | rootweiler: O | 23:47 |
| rootweiler | I am struggling to sleep .. ? | 23:47 |
| leftyfb | rootweiler: this is an ubuntu support channel | 23:49 |
| compdoc | you need to pay homage in the privacy of your place of worship | 23:51 |
| de-facto | from what i can read /etc/modules should be working for dkms modules with parameters | 23:52 |
| TJ- | de-facto: same place as for other modules, it doesn't need to be early in initrd, so /etc/modules should do it | 23:53 |
| de-facto | TJ-, how do i enable/update for changes in /etc/modules? a normal reboot didnt work last time, with exact same syntax as in modprobe: "modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=0 card_label="loopback0" exclusive_caps=1" works on booted system so i put "v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=0 card_label="loopback0" exclusive_caps=1" in one line in /etc/modules | 23:55 |
| TJ- | de-facto: that looks correct. So we need to figure out if systemd is actually ignoring the file! | 23:56 |
| de-facto | TJ- at least something goes wrong with it "ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)" | 23:57 |
| de-facto | TJ-, yes it says "Failed to find module 'v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=0 card_label="loopback0" exclusive_caps=1'" | 23:58 |
| de-facto | so its in another location? | 23:58 |
| TJ- | de-facto: it's from the kmod package, and "systemctl status kmod" here shows me several modules ere loaded | 23:59 |
| de-facto | its in /lib/modules/4.15.0-30-generic/updates/dkms/v4l2loopback.ko | 23:59 |
| de-facto | maybe it takes the whole params as pathname? | 23:59 |
