[00:28] so april 1 2019? april 30 2019? some other day in april 2019? [00:35] guiverc hyskaru so april 1 2019? april 30 2019? some other day in april 2019? [00:35] Vic2: seriously ? [00:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases - the dates are set closer to EOL, I monitor them but sure don't remember if an actual date is given.. it'll be on or after april 17th. [00:41] ty guiverc [00:42] yes seriously hyskaru [00:42] Vic2: upgrade your ubuntu, no ? [00:42] hey, i'm having problems trying to connect to mysql with phpmyadmin [00:43] can anyone help? [00:53] My disk space is decreasing frequently and fastly what is the reason? I'm using Kubuntu 16.04 since two years ago and I have not faced such as problem . [00:54] someone_: maybe you're storing more and more data on it? can you run "df -h | pastebinit" and post the http address? [00:55] mike802: on the same host? got an error message? how are you authenticating? what do mysel server logs say? [00:56] tomreyn actually that happened so fast in two minutes more than 2 GB stored in my disk without any reason . [00:57] someone_: if there was no reason, it wouldn't have been stored. [00:58] Is it normal that var/log folder size is more than 5 GB ? [00:59] it's uncommon [00:59] what are the larger files in there? sudo ls -lh /var/log/ | pastebinit [01:03] As I said that happens suddenly and without any reason the CPU fan its sound became higher after that the disk space became lower and lower in every min and there was a process using more than 25% of CPU, after that I closed the laptop . === yunhao94_ is now known as yunhao94 [01:06] hi all. how secure is LUKS encryption? [01:06] tomreyn: sudo ls -lh /var/log/ outut >>> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XfSCC8Rzfp/ [01:07] tomreyn what do you think ? [01:09] hello, i upgraded from 16 to 18 and now my wifi drops overnight [01:09] someone_: kern.log and syslog are unsually large [01:10] someone_: run tail against them. [01:10] what is the tail ? and how I run it ? [01:11] tail -f /path/to/log [01:11] someone_: sudo tail /var/log/syslog [01:11] sl4ck: https://askubuntu.com/questions/97196/how-secure-is-an-encrypted-luks-filesystem maybe helpful [01:11] someone_: or just "dmesg -w", it'll probably show the same [01:12] and what does it do? [01:12] removing files ? [01:12] someone_: do you know what man pages are, yet? [01:14] someone_: you can install the "man-db" package, then run "man somecommand" and it will show you the manual for this command. [01:14] the same content is also available at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [01:15] now if I execute this command sudo tail /var/log/syslog What will happen? [01:16] someone_: the tail command will print the last 10 lines of the given file to standard output. [01:16] ok [01:16] running "man tail" or "tail --help" would also have told you so [01:19] %c [01:19] tomreyn "sudo tail /var/log/syslog" output >> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YxQhfXrp78/ [01:22] someone_: so apparently you have two types of outputs which keep repeating. the one on the bottom which repeated 55 times is not an immediate problem since the system logger realized they keep repeating and created this summary. the ones on top are maybe more of an issue. [01:23] ok [01:23] someone_: to verifiy it'S these types of messages which 'spam' your log, i suggest you run (and keep running) "dmesg -w" on a separate temrinal window. that's a 'live feed' from the kernel logging daemon, you'll see which messages are mostly generated / logged. [01:24] ok [01:24] such 'log spam' should not happen, it is an indication of a malfunction or bad configuration. you should therefore do a web search for these messages and see if others have found a way to get rid of them, reduce them, or, better yet, to identify and handle the issue which causes them to be printed. [01:25] tomreyn What is the reason ? [01:26] someone_: the reason for what? [01:26] for this problem [01:27] i have not researched it. i suggest you do what i just explained. [01:28] if you get stuck, tell us where you're getting stuck, and someone who feels ike they can will suggest a way forward. [01:28] tomreyn OK, if I delete the largest file which is 2.5 GB in folder log, Is there any problem will happen ? [01:30] someone_: it will likely cause the system logging daemon to be no longer able to log. and it wouldn't solve the underlying issue. [01:30] tomreyn Ok , Thank you so much . [01:31] you'Re welcome. i'll be happy to help you more, if i'll see you meking effrorts to examine this issue yourself. [01:31] hey guys i was wondering how could i make my ip static... like keep the same one all the time [01:32] Thanks Tom. [01:32] fib3r: which ip would that be? [01:32] i use a router ip [01:32] id like to keep 192.168.1.whatever the same [01:33] does your router do dhcp for you? [01:33] yea but i know theres a way to keep it perm on the server itself [01:34] you can do static ip address assignments via dhcp, not every SOHO router supports it, but many do. [01:34] this is usually the better option since you can then still manage it centrally. [01:35] the other option is to configure a static ip address on the computers on the LAN (which the router usually does dhcp for). but then you'll need to make sure to pick addresses outside of the range the router will use for dhcp assignment. [01:36] ...so as to prevent ip address clashes. [01:36] sl4 [01:38] tired of changing my ports ip all the time lol [01:39] fib3r: is this related to preferring one ofver the other of these methods? [01:39] yea cause i have ports open so i can login :) [01:39] Anyone using the Nextcloud snap package on their server: Where is actual data directory? [01:41] fib3r:whether you'll do static ip address assignment by the router or on the systems themselves won't change whether or not you still need to maintain port forwarding rules on the router (you'll still need to do so). [01:42] You cant do router static ips [01:44] fib3r: you mean your router does not support it? [01:46] hi all. i've got this anonymous vpn service i use where their openvpn is giving me issues, and their support is ever worse. i had this working on my ubiquiti edgerouter, and then on my centos7 laptop and it stopped working. their support claims that they only 'support' debian and ubuntu [01:46] so i figured i would download ubuntu and give their instructions a try. however, when trying to install the packages in their instruction, it is failing as if the packages have been obsoleted [01:47] i'm wondering what version do you think these guys think they support: https://support.goldenfrog.website/hc/en-us/articles/360004948872-VyprVPN-OpenVPN-Setup-for-Linux-Ubuntu- [01:48] Dan0maN_bncr: "This tutorial was created using Ubuntu 16.04.1" [01:48] Dan0maN_bncr: whats your ubuntu version mate? [01:48] jeeze. thank you tomreyn. i looked right over that line. lotuspsychje, i just downloaded the latest 18 from the download site [01:48] i'll go try to hunt down a 16 to try [01:49] Dan0maN_bncr: wait [01:49] k [01:49] Dan0maN_bncr: 16.04.1 is older already [01:49] i set it for 19 and didnt work [01:49] yeah, but i'm just testing their vpn instructions [01:49] still assigned random ip [01:50] Dan0maN_bncr: check this out: https://linuxconfig.org/simple-openvpn-connection-setup-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [01:50] it used to work from two other systems, and now i'm getting an openvpn auth failure from the service. i've done everything i can think of, including changing my password, but they won't work with me until i get an OS they 'support' [01:50] Dan0maN_bncr: lets put it this way, if a vpn business does not give support for recent ubuntu versions, something fishy is going on, dont you think? [01:51] lotuspsychje: understood. but judging by the potato they have working the live chat, they may just not be that well versed in the ways of linux [01:52] looks like most of their stuff is for windows-based tools [01:52] personally i'd actually continue to try to reproduce things as closely to their guides as possible, and then, if it works out, extrapolate from there. [01:53] but since that ass-hat kept trying to hang up the session with me because i was using centos, i figured i would do just what tomreyn is stating [01:53] Dan0maN_bncr: at #ubuntu here, we also advice to keep your system up to date as possible, as solid base, you can work from that [01:53] lotuspsychje: understood. thank you for the assistance [01:53] some how my root pass is different [01:53] but sudo works lol [01:54] Dan0maN_bncr: 16.04 is still supported, so im sure 16.04.5 up to date would work with your tutorial aswell [01:55] fib3r: by default, the root account does not have a password set on ubuntu [01:55] oh? okay [01:55] fib3r: which means you can only sudo, and not login as root directly [01:55] (and this is on purpose) [01:56] yeah. i'm not going to search for the .1 version. .5 should be close enough to them [01:56] yea, its just behind my firewall :) [01:56] Dan0maN_bncr: would not advice that either, as alot of !usn security flaws exist from then [01:59] Hi all, I'm working on trying enable Google Authenticator for Ubuntu logins. I can get *either* lightdm working *or* general (such as sudo). If I change pam.d/lightdm - lightdm works. But if I then change pam.d/common-auth it breaks lightdm login. I've already moved the .google-authority file to outside the encrypted home file. It seems adding the line in common-auth makes lightdm try and authenticate [01:59] twice?

[06:09] Boyette, hello [06:09] hi steve [06:38] Hi everyone, what is a good system diagnostic for Ubuntu (builtin or otherwise) [06:39] regarding my previous message. I mean to ask System diagnostics software.. [07:09] hi [07:10] How can I update my ubuntu via terminal in a safe way? [07:12] codyboo: `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade` will update repository lists, then do a full-upgrade of software (keeping you on the same release) - if this is what you mean, and second command runs only if first had no issues.. [07:13] sudo apt-get update [07:13] sudo apt-get upgrade [07:13] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:14] oh sorry for floo. I thought it was one line.... how about that one? shall I hit dist-upgrade to clean unused files after? [07:15] apt-get dist-upgrade ~= apt full-upgrade (ie. very close to the same command; apt is a newer version of apt-get; you can use dist-upgrade too for those whose fingers are slower to adjust to change..) [07:16] update only updates your software lists; doesn't upgrade any software. upgrade updates your system within limited rules (skipping some upgrades), dist-upgrade or full-upgrade perform all upgrades for the system [07:16] sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade [07:16] like that? [07:17] fghdh [07:17] use one of `apt full-upgrade` or `apt-get|apt dist-upgrade` , they are altneratives to the same thing... if you read `man apt` doco, dist-upgrade isn't there, it's called full-upgrade (but dist-upgrade still works) [07:19] sudo apt update && sudo apt-get|apt dist-upgrade [07:19] should look like this than? [07:19] sorry - i meant either apt-get OR apt... ; not to use | in the command [07:19] `sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade` [07:20] ok. RUnned [07:22] This error coming up https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b9zys6sSTh/ [07:23] codyboo: there's a problem with the virtualbox repo, they'll probably fix it soon [07:23] how can I skip that update and do the rest? [07:24] it is doing the rest [07:25] codyboo: because you used the && (I used it, so you probably copied), the subsequent command (what followed the &&) wasn't executed - just type in `sudo apt dist-upgrade` [07:25] ah, i just joined nevermind [07:25] if you used `sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade` (; instead of &&) the second command (after ;) would have executed regardless of results of first command [07:27] guiverc yeah now it's updating wihtout stucking to that firs update problem with virtual box [07:28] thank you [07:28] it was stucking like that https://prnt.sc/ksl1mh === davor_ is now known as davor [07:50] .

[08:52] how can I prevent journalctl to display logs from auditd? [09:02] mementomori: journalctl has various filtering options, check the manpage, eg. options -u and -t . afaik it has no ability to do "negative" filtering, so you might need to run that through grep [09:03] blackflow, I usually pipe journalctl output to "grep -v audit" [09:04] blackflow, but i'd like auditd's logs to be present only in /var/log/audit [09:05] blackflow, I'm trying to disable auditd'd logs from rsyslog. Do you think it'll work? [09:06] mementomori: the journal always logs everything on input, so I guess you'd have to configure auditd not to log to syslog. [09:08] blackflow, I've not found anything related to disabling syslog in auditd's docs. Do you have any hint? [09:15] on a fresh install of lubuntu, the colors on my laptop lcd are all washed out. why? [09:17] superdreamkilla: old machine? [09:18] 2006 [09:18] superdreamkilla: wich lubuntu version please?

So there must be something telling journalctl to read from /var/log/audit/audit.log [09:22] superdreamkilla: what do you mean, what did you do? [09:23] so I had been using it without the driver at first, and it had the same washed out look [09:24] superdreamkilla: what did you do then? [09:24] https://wiki.debian.org/MacMiniIntel [09:25] superdreamkilla: thats for debian, did you install drivers yourself or something? [09:25] based on info in that link, i booted from lilo instead of grub 2, in order to get the radeon driver to load [09:26] !mac | superdreamkilla [09:26] superdreamkilla: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [09:26] superdreamkilla: radeon should normally work by default [09:27] no [09:27] superdreamkilla: have you tested this on ubuntu 16.04?

[09:28] never got 16.04 [09:28] superdreamkilla: i recently tested some old macs with 18.04 ubuntu and they worked nicely [09:29] superdreamkilla: could you try a liveusb ubuntu-desktop just as a test please? [09:29] superdreamkilla: so we can rule out if its a lubuntu issue or not [09:30] that's another issue. i locked up my usb stick following instructions for creating a bootable lubuntu image on mac [09:31] now I can't format or erase or do anything with it. gparted crashes with it [09:32] as for ubuntu versus lubuntu, the issue is booting in efi versus bios mode. [09:33] superdreamkilla: make a new one from ubuntu image creator [09:33] and actually, I did already test ubuntu, because I installed it from the mini.iso, and then installed lubuntu-desktop over it [09:36] the issue was present in both [09:37] superdreamkilla: ubuntu 18.04 has no minimal option in the setup itself [09:37] now [09:37] superdreamkilla: can you hastebin your dmesg please? [09:38] superdreamkilla: lets have a look what happens to radeon [09:38] yes [09:39] https://pastebin.com/Uugq0acf [09:45] superdreamkilla: i dont see anything too unusual [09:46] superdreamkilla: have you tested another Os to check if its ubuntu alone or not? [09:46] snow leopard is bright and glossy [09:46] allrighty [09:46] so are windows xp, windows 7, netbsd [09:46] ok [09:48] superdreamkilla: perhaps also test a !nomodeset [09:48] that's how I was able to get it to boot initially when I had the problem of the radeon driver not being able to load [09:49] it was the same [09:49] superdreamkilla: ok, then a 16.04 test would be usefull, if that doesnt work id advice creating a new !bug for your issue [09:50] i am downloading an ubuntu 16.04 right now, and will attempt to put it on my usb stick which seems to be locked up === jje_ is now known as jje [09:51] . [09:51] i was wondering if it's possible that an xorg profile was created automatically with some weird color settings on account of not having a graphics driver initially [09:51] or something to that effect [09:54] superdreamkilla: i more suspect kernel issue on your case [09:54] superdreamkilla: the 16.04 might prove it [09:59] Could not write the disk image [10:00] from the ubuntu image creator [10:01] tried many things already, always different errors [10:02] https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-boot-a-linux-live-usb-stick-on-your-mac/ [10:02] that's the tutorial that I followed that messed it up, method 2, [10:04] it has lubuntu 18.04 on it and can successfully boot, i just can't format, erase, or view the contents on any os other than linux [10:05] superdreamkilla: you could test a few other things, like installing unity or xubuntu from your existing install [10:05] superdreamkilla: this washed out screen, does it start right from grub boot, or after login? [10:06] Howdy folks [10:06] i'm booting from lilo not grub2, and I don't know how the colors are supposed to look. The wash out effect is not severe. [10:08] If i boot from grub2 I have to use nomodeset, and the font and colors change slightly halfway into the loading [10:08] superdreamkilla: i have to go for lunch right now, try that 16.04 and if that doesnt work, !bug ok [10:10] okay, well I'll write back if I come up with anything, but this usb issue is taking up a lot of time right now [10:34] why are there many examples of bash multiline string using $(cat ... etc? [10:34] dont single-quote and double-quite just work with multiline strings?? [10:38] Hi, is there a ppa for getting the latest stable kernel on 18.04? [10:42] funda3: no ppa as such, np. there are the mainline kernels, but those are unsupported and only intended for testing. some things won't work with them. [10:42] aqd: try asking in #bash [10:43] Hey all can I get a networking issue help, its not really linux but basically when I plug a pc on my network, the ethernet light on my switch goes nuts, all of a sudden my internet stops on all pcs on the network, new pcs cant get IP's from DHCP .. the network pretty much jams up .. I unplug this desktop and all goes quick and works perfectly ... the odd thing is that desktop is actually turned off! .. any ideas? [10:43] ducasse: which ppa would i use for latest stable mainline kernels? what might not work? [10:44] funda3: it's not a ppa, you need to download them manually. things like lxc/lxd and i think snaps don't work, due to lacking ubuntu patches. [10:44] XB23: broken network card ? wiring issues with the cable ? [10:45] funda3, you can try this, https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-linux-kernel-4-7-2-ubuntu-16-04, but I'm noob with linux, so I'm not sure if this will work [10:45] !mainline | funda3 [10:45] funda3: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [10:45] the-noob1: cheers, confusing how its doing it even when that PC is turned off [10:45] Wiring is fine, if i use that cable on another pc all is fine [10:46] XB23: try ##networking, not an ubuntu issue [10:46] Ah thanks ducasse [10:46] :) [10:48] ducasse: thanks, !mainline is what i was looking for [10:50] funda3: you won't get support here with them [10:54] XB23: if something went wrong with the NIC it might be that it creates a loop or such, even when powered off (obviously a very 'wtf' case) [10:55] ducasse: more options in grub is fine by me [10:55] XB23: sounds like you're confused about your cable and you're actually plugging one cable into your switch/router twice [10:55] XB23: because that's *exactly* what happens when you plug a switch/router into itself [10:55] funda3: also remember you need to update it yourself [10:56] Triffid_Hunter: no mate, 100% not that but yeh it does sound exactly like that [10:58] ducasse: i might have to write a script for that [11:00] funda3: that's a possibility, sure === beaver is now known as beaver|jail [11:27] I need to connect a fibre lead to a Cisco SAN switch - the device is deck EMC ESX gist (no the of model) The port is an HBA: This is the reverse of the server: https://i.imgur.com/hQlhHii.png [11:29] perdent: wrong channel? [12:28] hello, All! What can be core of issue? When i boot in ubuntu 18.04 then cd-tray is opening. === Butterfly^ is now known as Guest80033 [12:42] Is it possible to install old versions of packages (like clang 3.8) in ubuntu 18.04? === mkv is now known as m4v [13:15] mort, don't mix packages/repos , it's bad practice [13:16] BluesKaj: doesn't have to be the actual `clang` package, it could be a separate `clang-3.8` package [13:18] mort: It isn't recommended to use older versions of any program in your primary system. Is there a particular reason for needing the older version? [13:19] pragmaticenigma: fixing issues with compiling software I'm writing with older compilers [13:20] hey i just started my first programming course. cant find a detailed explanation of "root-partition" [13:20] mort: Recommendation is to then install it manually, make sure you DO NOT run the "make install". [13:20] for example, I just had travis-ci fail a build because clang-3.8 gives a warning about something my ubuntu system's clang (version 6) doesn't give a warning about [13:20] mort: That is a terrible reason to use an older version [13:20] why's that? [13:21] in Arch, I could've just installed the clang38 package and run `CC=clang38 make` [13:21] mort: that warning is being issued for a reason. Since I don't know what the warning is, I couldn't tell you how severe it is. But in short, Fix the code, not the compiler [13:22] pragmaticenigma: using the older compiler would be exactly to make sure the issue is fixed without having to push a commit which _might_ fix the issue and look at what travis-ci says about it [13:23] remember, the warning is in the older compiler; I was aiming to fix something which the newer system compiler doesn't warn about, but which older clang versions did complain about [13:23] Sorry, I misunderstood and thought it was the other way round [13:25] mort: I will propose that this might be a better question asked in ##programming though. They're going to be more familiar with running and installing older compilers. This channel, we primarily focus support on what is provided in the Ubuntu software repositories. [13:27] <[twisti]> how can i make apt-get stop producing the 'reading database' spam ? im forwarding the output to log files and it makes them noisy [13:28] [twisti]: pipe to grep or sed? [13:28] ubuntu 18.04; want to run vnc server; installed realvnc-vnc-server; connect remotely works but only shows grey screen; please advise [13:28] [twisti]: Look at "man apt-get" ... The -q option: produces output suitable for logging, [13:29] even better than my suggestion :) [13:29] <[twisti]> pragmaticenigma: i already tried that, it still produces the spam, and i dont want to use -qq, because i still want to know what its doing in general [13:29] [twisti]: are you apt-get manually or did you add it to cron? [13:30] <[twisti]> neither, im running it as part of a Dockerfile [13:30] therealtbe: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers ... realvnc is not a supported program on this channel. [13:31] what about vino? it used to work so nicely [13:31] therealtbe: The answers you need are in that article. Please read it [13:31] why did this become crazy complicated in 18.04 when it used to be super easy [13:32] therealtbe: Why are you refusing to read a rather simple and straight forward article. Depending on the option you choose, it requires about 2-3 commands. [13:33] yeah I have already read this, and implemented the vino option and the realvnc-vnc-server and the tightvncserver option. it just gives a grey screen [13:33] therealtbe: realvnc isn't supported... [13:33] I can start the vnc server, set the pw, and I can connect to it remotely using vncviewer [13:33] therealtbe: Do you have an active session on the remote machine prior to logging in? [13:34] yep [13:34] [twisti]: short of using grep to filter out what you don't want, I don't see a built in option. [13:35] therealtbe: Explain your setup, and what you did to set up VNC.. .because if you followed that article, it would be working [13:35] therealtbe: I know the directions in that article work, because I followed them with x11vnc and things work great for me [13:35]
