[00:00] billythekido7: but if you worry about physical attacks you *really* need to go to lengths, and even secureboot wont fix it. [00:00] billythekido7: some machines won't boot usb without password, others when booting usb disable the encryption keys enclosed within - it depends on hardware; on consumer grade you do have a point [00:02] I'm not worried about an attack to be frank. I was just trying to understand why one would do this if they boot on legacy [00:04] a mixture of healthy or unhealthy paranoia and lack of understanding most of the time, i would think. [00:04] Is there a reason why LVM + password encryption on the data is not enough for every case? [00:05] again, this question is pointless unless you define what you are trying to procet, and against what. [00:05] The only scenario I can think of for protecting grub is when you REALLY don't want the pc to boot with another disk or something. It's not about the data that you have on your disk... [00:05] tomreyn: I'm asking for a scenario basically because with my limited knowledge I can't think of any... [00:07] fde has a very limited use case: protecting against data exfiltration while the system is powered off [00:07] right, that I understand.. [00:08] hey get error when i try to install bluez release 5.50. this is it: libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1.11, but the [00:08] and that wont even prevent againt deletion and sometimes not againt modification of data [00:08] right, I understand what you say [00:09] ghostnik11: still ot here [00:09] tomreyn: what can i say, i am a fighter but now i am trying to fix bluetooth since the asus t100 devices have to be done manually to get it working [00:10] tomreyn: i did figure out how to fix grub!!! but i am waiting for EriC^^ to give me a chance and see if he can clear up some stuff for me in terms of efi and esp [00:12] when i was running automake i got this error: configure.ac:4: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15.1, configure.ac:4: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:4: comes from Automake 1.14.1. You should recreate configure.ac:4: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. [00:12] tomreyn: so in a situation where you have full disk encryption and physical access, the only reason to secure boot/grub is to avoid someone booting the machine with their own external disk or something. [00:12] how can i remake aclocal.m4 with aclocal? [00:12] billythekido7: with secureboot, if you assume it is not broken (or this is just not relevant in your scenario), password protected bios, grub requiring a password and FDE including /boot, you can (partially, IIRC) protect against evil maid and similar attacks [00:15] tomreyn: haha, never heard of evil maid before. That's one scenario I had in mind though. The maid gets into the data center, shuts down a machine with 16 GPUs, boots it with their own disk and starts mining bitcoins or somethjing... [00:15] billythekido7: the whole encryptede boot chain is really just an attempt to prevent you booting into a compromised system, i.e. if the system was compromised, it would not boot, or not fully, or not at all. [00:16] yeap I see your point [00:17] and achieving just this little bit of attestation is really complex and can go wrong in so many ways [00:17] tomreyn: oh I just realized that if one can tamper with /boot in theory they can inject things to your OS next time you decrypt it... [00:17] can i run this: autoreconf --force --install as they are saying it just some type of mismatch between the tools [00:18] or should i run this first: make maintainer-clean [00:19] to clean it first before i try and build and it from scratch again? [00:19] billythekido7: right, you can only shift the level of security to higher and higher layers by moving the decryption keys up and up on the chain. but then you ensd up with proprietary firmware running on proprietary cpu designs, and i'm not sure much is won. [00:20] tomreyn: thanks man, I learned a lot. I understand the reasons now. :) [00:21] you're welcome :) [00:44] okay i just checked my system and i have no etc/rc.local folder [00:44] or should i say i don't have a rc.local file [00:45] should i just create one as i am trying to btattach my device's bluetooth driver [00:49] ghostnik11: rc.local was used by sysvinit as i recall, modern Ubuntu uses systemd which doesn't use it by default so it'll have no effect, this may help enabling it https://askubuntu.com/questions/9853/how-can-i-make-rc-local-run-on-startup [00:50] guiverc: thanks [00:54] guiverc: okay i enabled it with this command: systemctl status rc-local.service but the thing is it seems the rc.local file is in systemd [00:57] ghostnik11: sorry I have no experience with it (it was the 18 upvote answer I meant, possibly also needing the comment which provides a link to more clues) [00:59] guiverc: okay, no problem yeah well i see the file: /lib/systemd/system/rc.local.services and when i open that rc.local.service it says: # This unit gets pulled automatically into multi-user.target by # systemd-rc-local-generator if /etc/rc.local is executable [01:01] guiverc: actually mine is inactivated [01:12] guiverc: thanks bro i was able to get it activated rc.local [01:47] Hey guys, I upgraded my Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04. Now my external monitor doesn't work. [01:47] What's the deal to make it work? I tried every stackoverflow answers I could try. Basically everyone says: dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 [01:53] ule: if you click super & open 'display' (settings; i'm not using gnome and it may be different) - do both displays show? ... i assume you are on laptop (as external) - have you disabled external monitor via keystroke (I can on thinkpad, if disabled via keystroke I need to re-enable via keystroke before ubuntu recognizes it) [02:07] ahi2: hey I had stepped away from my computer. You were asking if I have ntfs-3g installed? [02:10] buyaka: it might help being able to boot up windows [02:59] Hello [03:07] Anybody helping ? [03:14] Genius-: if you have a Ubuntu support question, please just ask it. If someone knows the answer, or can help you, they will Patience is useful here... (people do other things too) [03:15] Im having problem with partitioning [03:16] I download ubuntu and made USB bootable but im stuck on partitioning [03:16] I wanna make dual boot [03:17] You recommend any tools ? [03:18] Genius-: I find using `gparted` easier to use, to use 'try ubuntu', load and partition my disk(s) with `gparted` writing down the details on a scrap envelope, then start the installer & use 'something else' & make it use the partitions I've already setup. Most important - backup your data/system first (before installing Ubuntu) [03:18] Thank you brother I will try that :) Thanks for ur time and effort [03:31] guiverc, the best kernel boot option to use when using gparted from a live installation system is "toram" [03:33] guiverc, the boot takes longer but the whole system is run from ram so you remove the installation medium from points of failure [03:34] lapion: i dont' specify a boot option to use gparted when using a live (ubuntu install media), i just select 'try ubuntu' & use it once loaded (some flavors may require me to add it first - if so I just apt install it) [03:36] guiverc, while in grub loader or syslinux edit the boot options and add toram to the kernel start options and the whole "live" system will get loaded from memory [03:55] is this thing on? [04:17] Hi, Why SSH agent variables are not there when ssh to my system? [04:17] It works when i log into my system directly. === jakcyyy is now known as Dreaman [04:46] gagan662_: try adding them to .bashrc? [04:47] Thanks it got resolved. [04:58] hi all. i read about this option https://askubuntu.com/questions/285212/keeping-the-same-home-partition-after-a-clean-install. how can i check if my system has a separate partition for /home. I checked gparted and i saw only an /dev/sda1=/boot and /devsda2=extended. i don't see any other mount point. [04:59] !partitioning | ilias_gr start here mate [05:00] ilias_gr start here mate: For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap [05:00] ilias_gr: there are many ways, you could look in /etc/fstab, use `lsblk` (looking for mount points).. [05:03] guiverc: no mount point for /home [05:05] no mount point, means it will go onto / (the catch all partition). If you re-install Ubuntu, you can always use 'something else' & select partition, picking no-format and it will erase system dirs, but not touch /home - but I always opt for /home in a seperate partition if I can.. [05:08] guiverc: ok. i see. So no separate patrition for /home. If i update ubuntu without format / is in't possible to old files conflict with new ones? [05:08] ilias_gr: out of interest, what partition in / (sda3?) -- if you have lots of free space, you could shrink it, make another partition within the extended (assuming it's within extended sda2) and then `cp` or copy files to it.. but a lot of work... [05:09] Yeah, creating a new /home partition after the fact is a bit of work [05:09] ilias_gr: if you re-install Ubuntu (newer version, even same version) selecting something-else & no format, it erases only program/system directories, then does install of programs & system - not touching any of /home. at conclusion of install, it re-installs the programs you already had installed (ie. it performs the upgrade pretty well, only exception is 3rd party programs you may have added) === semeion is now known as mnemonic [05:10] guiverc: sure a lot of work. i can use grsync or similar to backup and do i real clean installation to update my distro but i was wondering if i could avoid this hard procedure to re-configure my system. [05:11] guiverc, are you sure about that? In that case, it would mean a /home partition is a moot point unless it's on another physical disk [05:12] Because the only reason to have one would be in case of disk failure [05:16] Kon_: it's still worthwhile in my opinion, but the install I mentioned is via something-else.. i've yet to install 18.04/18.10 (only upgrades) but my statement has applied to prior versions. seperate /home makes switching between OSes easier, and installs safer in my opinion.. [05:16] +1! [05:17] I agree, but I'm surprised to learn the installer is smarter than I gave it credit for [05:20] guiverc: i agree too that is a smart option a separate /home. but unfortunately i haven't it. [05:22] ilias_gr: to make one, I'd backup data, validate-backup, shrink partition (live system using gparted), make new partition in space, then copy your /home data to new partition, modify /etc/fstab to mount that partition as /home - and should be done... the amount of space you have, will probably dictate the ease of this... [05:22] !home | ilias_gr [05:22] ilias_gr: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [05:24] ok. i understand. thank you for your advises. is it a problem that /home is encrypted? [05:26] problem no, more difficult yes.... (in my opinion, but I'm no expert in encryption - my /home is encrypted, I've performed upgrades & used it, no data loss, but had issues once too) [05:27] i just installed lubuntu on an old macbook pro with a Radeon Mobility x1600 graphics card. I can't boot without disabling it with nomodeset. What should I do? [05:27] ilias_gr: fyi: i've re-installed since encryption; had to add a package was the issue as I recall, then reboot [05:32] superdreamkilla: this link contains a 'how to permanently set kernel boot options' to make nomodeset permanent.. [05:32] oops - forgot link .. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [05:34] i've already done that, but the problem is the system is unusable and slow without a video driver [05:37] superdreamkilla: i'm not skilled with graphics, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto provides some clues that may help... including lspci & lshw commands to detect your gpu etc.. [05:37] superdreamkilla, that GPU is from 2005. It may be extremely difficult to find a driver for it which will run even in 14.04 [05:37] this ... [05:38] the proprietary drivers are supposed to work up through 14.04. [05:39] ubuntu specifically says this card is supported by their open source radeon driver [05:39] Just out of curiosity, which drivers are those? and version [05:39] Could you link the page with that info? [05:41] the driver simply called radeon. one moment ill find the page [05:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [05:44] superdreamkilla, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: if you have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Linux kernel 4.4.0 (HWE stack Xenial), you can't install the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst driver. [05:44] So that list of supported cards is irrelevant to you [05:44] You need to find out if amdgpu supports it [05:46] I guess the easy way to find out would be to install package xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu superdreamkilla [05:53] superdreamkilla, your other option is to try installing 14.04.1 and trying the old proprietary driver again. But on 14.04.5, it's not supported [05:54] can they not just use the xf86-video-ati driver? i'm pretty sure amdgpu only supports cards from the past couple of years [05:54] superdreamkilla: if you installed the original 14.04 LTS (or 14.04.1 LTS) you get the 3.13 kernel which will use fglrx, if you use 14.04.2 LTS or later to install, they default to HWE kernel which is incompatible as the driver was depreciated. when you upgrade either you get the same upgraded system, but the kernels used differ [05:56] The other thing, is Lubuntu still getting updates for 14.04? I thought flavors only lasted 3 years [05:58] Kon_: good point. it's possible some packages still are, but they're past they're supported life (for 'universe' packages; you need to check on a per-package basis, as we're beyond 3 years) [06:04] im trying to run lubuntu 18.04 [06:05] On 18.04 there's no chance of your GPU being supported [06:05] As said above, the old driver doesn't run on 16.04 or later [06:05] Or 14.04.5, which is running the same kernel as 16.04 [06:05] any reason? any alternative? [06:06] Yes, as we both said, try Lubuntu 14.04.1 [06:06] But be aware that it's not still supported with updates [06:06] thats ridiculous [06:06] Your GPU is approaching 14 years old [06:06] so? [06:07] superdreamkilla: what was the default driver? radeon (`sudo lshw -C video` where the driver= will tell you what you were using) [06:07] it's blank, because I have nomodeset [06:08] You could try the Unity desktop version of 14.04.1 which is still getting updates until next April [06:08] If you think the GPU can handle Unity [06:08] the gpu can handle lubuntu 18.04 [06:09] lubuntu 18.04 cant handle it [06:10] i dont want an ugly resource hog log unity on an old unsupported version of linux which is probably broken in many others yet to be discover after I go through more tedious installs [06:10] btw is this a 2006 Macbook Pro, by any chance? [06:10] yes [06:11] apple exiled it on snow leopard, which would have been fine if firefox didn't cut support too [06:12] windows xp even got more support [06:13] Windows XP still has something like 4.5% global marketshare today. The Mobility X1600 has rather less [06:14] We're trying to help you find a solution, but I'm just saying, when your GPU was released, Ubuntu was on its second ever release [06:14] i would use windows xp if firefox support wasnt cut on that now too [06:16] so there are no other possible drivers, and no tweaks to the ubuntu open source radeon driver to get it to work? [06:19] "Mainline" Ubuntu 14.04.1 will get you updates, but running Unity on 2GB RAM might not be the best experience [06:19] superdreamkilla, assuming you still have OSX installed, why not OSX + virtubalb0x + lubuntu? [06:20] Lubuntu 14.04.1 will support your driver, but you won't get updates anymore. And I think he said he's switching off OSX due to lack of updates [06:20] Apple is no longer supporting his machine [06:20] tried virtualbox, way too slow on an old computer [06:22] i had netbsd on virtualbox, even they've got a video driver that supports legacy [06:30] superdreamkilla, do you have 18.04 installed and running currently? [06:30] It seems xserver-xorg-video-radeon is still in the repos [06:30] yes [06:31] Do you have that package installed? [06:31] how do I check? [06:32] sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-radeon and it will grab it if you don't, or tell you if you do [06:37] yes it was installed [06:37] You said you had nomodeset. What happens if you don't do that? [06:45] This gparted is on drugs. While fdisk -l give this for SSD drive (one small partition, one Windows NTFS partition and one ZFS partition, gparted sees 2 zfs partitions, including non-existing "test" zfs pool instead, and no NTFS at all: https://bpaste.net/show/6b3a373b26c9 , https://mega.nz/#!0J1HESQD!ZN2vx6kd1NIWfHHI8_kvXn1v6tSliImah_tPPxbGJLU [06:46] since gparted is GUI for parted, parted is on drugs, probably. When it's the party, don't blame the driver. :P [06:47] uh , actually it shows ntfs partitoin, my mistake, but it shopws also non-existing ZFS pool [06:48] Maybe parted-gparted is reading some old state of MBR? [06:49] since there is no 'test' zfs pool available when running 'zpool import' by itself [06:51] Also I failed to boot yesterday, after ntfs-config started scalpeling my /etc/fstab. Someohow instead of nice UUID= lines, I ended up with pointing to /dev/sdb instead (as second device in BTRFS RAID1), while creatin permanent lines for inserted NTFS drive in /etc/fstab. [06:52] After removal of drive, system failed to boot. I needed to go single-user and manually edit /etc/fstab to point to proper UUID (/dev/sda1) device in RAID1 and remove nasty lines for missing ntfs drives [06:52] needless to say I have doubts about using ntfs-config again. [06:55] if i boot without nomodeset, it hangs with the message "fb: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA" === TxRaspPi is now known as TxRaspPI [07:12] hello it looks like using pm-hibernate accepted with cryptswap but did not reboot into the session after powerdown is there any way to check the disk or the cryptswap of the session which accepted pm-hibernate? [07:12] I'd rather not have an old session sitting on disk. [07:13] After figuring that part out having pm-hibernate to work it'd be great. [07:14] if I'm not mistaken, a reboot dumps previous sessions [07:15] could be wrong though === mnemonic is now known as Guest73866 === semeion is now known as mnemonic === arun is now known as Guest31606 [07:54] omg im in [07:55] is there someone who can help me with my ubuntu 18 total failure problem? [07:56] my ubuntu mate 18 doenst boot anymore.. i get stuck at blincking cursor black screen [07:56] however i can access the terminal [07:56] Boyette: ask your Ubuntu Support question, if someone can help you with your problem, they will. Also be precise please, there is no Ubuntu 18 release, 18.04 = 2018.April release [07:56] Boyette: can you boot if you add "nomodeset" to the kernel line in grub? [07:57] well it does boot actualy [07:57] because i can access the terminal with CTRL - ALT F1 [07:57] but i cant get normal desktop [07:57] if you put nomodeset does it enter the normal desktop? [07:57] can you help me how to do that? [07:57] im actually not so experienced [07:58] i was already happy to be able to access this irc now with some windows box [07:58] Boyette: hold shift to get grub when the pc restarts, then press "e" over ubuntu, go to the line that says linux /boot/vmlinuz ....quiet splash and remove "quiet splash" and replace it with "nomodeset" then press F10 to boot [07:58] im logged in now as root using the tty1 [08:02] ok done [08:02] now i get login screen [08:02] i use ubuntu mate but it shows the original screen [08:02] aha you didn't before? [08:02] at least im in now [08:02] with a very fucked up resolution [08:03] and get error now [08:03] executable path [08:03] . [08:03] what error? [08:03] "/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg" [08:04] xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4 package crash [08:04] Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in InitOutput [08:05] Boyette: try an older kernel from grub, hold shift > advanced> choose an older kernel version [08:05] but [08:05] im on desktop [08:05] its just as a message of internal error [08:06] so maybe it can just be fixed from here? [08:06] i see, try an older kernel, maybe an update happened and that's why it started [08:06] ok how do we do that sir? [08:06] restart hold shift > advanced > choose older kernel [08:09] ok [08:10] ok trying now [08:11] just 1 option [08:11] besides the actual kernel [08:11] it performs the same [08:11] ok [08:11] i see the mate environment pop up [08:11] then when the login screen is supposed to appear [08:11] the screen turns black and a blinking cursor appears [08:11] only thing what i can do is to go to tty1 [08:11] or reboot [08:12] and use ur quietsplash trick which gets around it [08:12] so it seems somehow the login screen doesnt load [08:12] but its not a kernel problem ? [08:13] doesnt seem so, maybe some graphics related packages got updated [08:13] Boyette: try from the tty1 "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999" [08:14] actually when i press the powerbutton [08:14] the mate logo appears to shut it down [08:14] its funny [08:16] what DM does it use? gdm? lightm? [08:16] output for that: [08:16] http://termbin.com/mxp6 [08:16] how do i determine that eric? [08:20] if i type : echo $DESKTOP_SESSION [08:20] it just goes to the next line without telling me anything [08:20] does that mean there is no DM ? [08:21] Boyette: no, try "dpkg -l | grep dm" [08:21] now it gives a lot of info [08:22] or this "dpkg -l | awk '$2 ~ /dm$/ {print $2}'" [08:22] LightDM is all over the place [08:22] try the 2nd command, and look at the first column if it says "ii" it means its installed [08:23] yes now it says [08:23] lightdm [08:23] just in one line thats it [08:24] a clear answer :) [08:24] Boyette: aha, try "sudo mv /var/log/Xorg.0.log{,.backup}" [08:24] actually nevermind, i wanted to see if that log was from the last try we made, but i think it is cause there's no nomodeset there [08:25] if i do that [08:25] it says mv: unkown destination after /var/log/Xorg.0.log{,.backup} [08:26] nevermind :) [08:26] ok [08:26] in the last lines here http://termbin.com/mxp6 it says the problem, some segmentation fault [08:26] [ 12.834] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0 [08:27] yes i noticed [08:27] i dont know what we could do right now except for making a bug report on the xorg package [08:27] sorry :/ [08:27] cant we reinstall org or light dm [08:27] or that has nothing to do with it? [08:27] xorg i mean [08:28] i dont think it would matter [08:28] we could try, why not [08:29] try "dpkg -l | grep xorg | wc -l" just to see how many packages there are [08:29] 20 [08:30] ok, nothing too crazy [08:30] run "dpkg -l | awk '/xorg/ {print $2}' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall [08:30] " [08:31] also sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm [08:32] done [08:32] reboot? [08:32] Boyette: did you try the wayland session? maybe you could use it temporarily until they fix the xorg stuff? [08:32] yeah [08:32] uhm.. dont know what that is all about :P [08:32] but certainly im interested :) [08:33] :) [08:33] still the same now [08:33] boot to blinking cursor [08:33] if you go to the tty1 and login and type "DISPLAY=:1 startx xterm" [08:33] what happens?

[08:42] ah [08:42] m6em [08:42] thanks [08:42] http://termbin.com/m6em [08:43] same segfault [08:44] indeed [08:44] if this is a new log [08:44] i wonder what packages it updated so the error started, can you take a look at "less /var/log/apt/history.log" at what it installed prior to restarting and the problem started [08:44] yup it is, the time stamp is newer [08:45] ah ok [08:45] well this is a big file [08:45] so i guess it's an xorg problem, older kernel doesnt work, and it's not lightdm related [08:45] is there any way i can also send that to termbin? [08:46] Boyette: press "g" to go down to the very bottom and scroll up a little til you see the update [08:46] sure, but it contains info like packages you've installed manually and stuff [08:46] i see [08:46] xserver-xorg-video-nouveau:amd64 [08:46] that seems to be related [08:47] hello it looks like using pm-hibernate accepted with cryptswap but did not reboot into the session after powerdown is there any way to check the disk or the cryptswap of the session which accepted pm-hibernate? [08:47] i dont think so, i think that's the nvidia driver [08:47] anything else it updated? [08:47] i dont have nvidia [08:47] i have AMD APU [08:47] yeah [08:47] RADEON [08:47] can you tell me how to send publish this log [08:47] so you can maybe review [08:48] Boyette: cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:48] how do i get out :P [08:48] ah [08:48] found it [08:49] http://termbin.com/424f === rolf is now known as Guest18113 [08:51] when i started to remove the mesa drivers the problem already occured [08:51] because i was thinking it had something to do with that [08:52] Boyette: do you have any ppa's installed? [08:53] for sure [08:53] might be the problem i think [08:53] try to purge the graphics/mesa related stuff [08:53] can we fix that? [08:53] i already tried that [08:53] but we can try again [08:54] tomreyn: you there? what was the link to the foreign packages script you made again? thanks [08:55] Boyette: type "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999" and "tail -v -n+1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999" [08:56] http://termbin.com/5m8p [08:56] http://termbin.com/cww9h [08:57] Boyette: lets start with removing this "eb http://ppa.launchpad.net/samoilov-lex/aftl-stable/ubuntu artful main" [08:58] ok how do we do that [08:58] purge it, then add it again using the bionic ppa if you want [08:58] sudo apt-get install ppa-purge [08:58] done [08:59] ppa purge and then i type?
