naribiaeem ok so im trying to log into ubuntu and after putting in my password, it pauses, flashes black screen and is back to login. This is a new installation by the way, and just installed graphics drivers, any ideas?00:10
naribiaalso, not sure how its related, but I did also install openssh-server and I'm unable to ssh into it when its at the login screen as well00:14
naribiathere was a suggestion I found to delete the .Xauthority file, however I'm not sure how to get to that since I can't log in00:16
xamithan!nomodeset00:21
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:21
xamithanRemove whatever you installed and reinstall different graphics after doing that00:22

leftyfbdviola: you'd be better off trying newer kernels from mainline than installing an unfinished and unsupported version of ubuntu01:58

Avioni have an hp win10 computer and I am failing to get it to boot off the live usb. (strangely it didnonce and then turned black while I was looking at my flash drives' directories.  yes legacy boot and no secure boot.02:17
Avionwith theae settinga does not do it. retried.02:17
Avion i have read the webpages and followed.02:17

Avioni checked and bios retained the changed settings02:20
leftyfbRockwood: mysql 8 is not available in ubuntu02:20
Rockwoodleftyfb, means?02:21
leftyfbRockwood: it means, mysql 8 is not available in ubuntu02:21
Avionleftyfb: when it booted once and died, then with no setting changes by me it would not boot again with several retries. (i had changed some things as guesses though) so I went back t9 defaults and followed the websitea directions which are what you see in what I wrote.02:21
leftyfbRockwood: is there a particular reason you cannot use mysql 5.x over 8?02:22
Rockwoodmy project requirement02:22
leftyfbRockwood: project?02:23
Rockwoodactually i am making project in php and mysql02:23
Avioni need to tak3 it to a cafe to do another windows updatr. i thought I had done them all then another showed up. I really feel hobbled in 10. i can function fine in 7 and 8.02:23

Rockwoodleftyfb, project build in new version02:24
Rockwoodelse i have change on big level02:25
Rockwoodit's not possible02:25
Rockwoodeasiest way is upgrade the mysql version02:25
leftyfbAvion: 10? 7 and 8? What are you referring to?02:25
Rockwoodleftyfb, upgrade is not possible than?02:26
leftyfbRockwood: not unless you build from source. You can read about that on mysql's website.02:26

ansibleesxi666 Hello all, i need to build a linux server for build purpose , i have some issue with Ubuntu 16 "server" ISO -  boot with UEFI on HP DL 360  Gen 10 box with RAID 0 ssd disks-   Ubuntu 16 "desktop"cd works well , so does it matter much if i use server or desktop?02:32
ansibleesxi666Any suggestion pls02:33
xamithanIts the same repos,  but desktop will install a desktop.  Why not just use a minimal|netboot02:34
ansibleesxi666Thanks i will check on minimal iso02:37
leftyfbansibleesxi666: also, there is no version 16 of ubuntu02:37
leftyfbansibleesxi666: there is 16.04 which is supported till 2021 and 16.10 which ended support last July02:38
ansibleesxi666sorry i mean 16.04 only02:39
leftyfbansibleesxi666: also, unless you do not care about the OS or the data, I would not use RAID 002:39
ansibleesxi666that said anyone had tested boot with UEFI on HP DL 360  Gen 10 box with RAID 0  ?02:40
ansibleesxi666the issue i get with Server iso is the disk size shows as 600 GB & when i use desktop it shows correct size of 3 TB02:40
leftyfbansibleesxi666: that's not a support question. If you have issues with it, please detail those here and someone will try to help you with it02:40
ansibleesxi666this is raid 0 of 3 ssd disks02:40
leftyfbright, and RAID 0 is begging for data loss02:41
ansibleesxi666yes we see better perf with RAID 0 so we have decided to use that02:41
leftyfbansibleesxi666: when one of those drives goes bad, you will lose all your data02:41
ansibleesxi666our build team wants less time & they do not care of the data on the build box as the actual build goes in central git repo.... these build nodes are purly for compuete ... but starnage issue is why server iso shows disk size as 600 GB & not 3 TB02:43

nick1234hi, i recently upgraded from 16.0 to 18.04, after upgrade it said there are around 1 gb of packages to be removed. there was insufficient power supply at that moment so I shutdown the machine connected to some other power source and restarted. It booted in 18.04 gave prompt for partial upgrade, I did partial upgrade . tried apt autoremove but it says thees nothing to be removed. Now there is insufficient spave in /boot and04:05
nick1234hence not updating the softwares. Can some one help04:05
guivercNotBobDole, note: I don't know, I would assume the daily image is where they are on 18.04.2 (which will have HWE kernel when released) - so it maybe the 4.18.0-7 kernel that 18.10 currently uses...04:10
NotBobDoleguiverc, I figured it out.04:11
NotBobDole18.04 of latest has 4.15.0-34 , I need 4.15.0-33 or higher so I am good!04:11

nick1234as it was giving megs for low space in boot i removed kernel 4.4.0-x version so as to free up the space04:23

igoryonyaHello, I have upgraded my (16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS) Desktop. After booting to 18.04, it tries to get to the graphical login, but the monitor cycles infinitely, i.e.: It lights up with the terminal, then turns off, then lights up again and never gets to the login screen.06:48
igoryonyaI've managed to stop gdm3.service, by using one of the available TTYs, with: sudo systemctl stop gdm3.service06:49
igoryonyaIt stoped cycling06:49
igoryonyaThen, I've reconfigured: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm06:49
igoryonyathen started: sudo systemctl start lightdm.start06:49
igoryonyaIt got to the graphical screen, but the default ubuntu and the wayland ubuntu, after entering the credentials, starts loading, then drops back to the login screen06:50
igoryonyaThe only desktop, that I've managed to log in is OpenBox, which I am sitting @ right now, trying to resolve my problem.06:51

ducassedbugger: make sure the security and updates repos are enabled, then try an 'apt update' before trying the install again07:13
dbuggerducasse, they have been always enabled07:13

ubottuMicrosoftWindows: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu.  See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications07:29
nick1234my /boot is at 40% and is 17.2 M short for next update. Can someone see results of 'ls -l /boot' and tell me what can i do to increase space? https://dpaste.de/U62A07:32
=== Richard is now known as Guest92426
guiverc_dnick1234, if i may ask, how large is your /boot partition?  and have you `sudo apt autoremove` ?07:35
guiverc_dhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels  is where I'm thinking (for second question)07:36
tomreynnick1234: this /boot partition is rather small (236 MB), it would be good to resize it if that's an option07:37
guiverc_dfyi: minimum is 250mb-1gb on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace07:39
EriC^^nick1234: can you run "find /boot -type f -exec du -h {} \; | sort -h" ?07:39
tomreynnick1234: what (and how much) is in /boot/extlinux ?07:39
nick1234ok i have tried sudo apt- autoremove07:40
nick1234but to no avail07:40
tomreynguiverc_d: 236 MB is probably a file system size on top of a 250 MB partition, so that'd be within this range.07:40
nick1234http://termbin.com/88yk is here : http://termbin.com/88yk07:41
tomreynnick1234: you only have one kernel image installed, so apt autoremove wont do any good there currently07:41
nick1234find /boot -type f -exec du -h {} \; | sort -h is here http://termbin.com/88yk07:41
Triffid_Hunternick1234: wow, your initrd is 68MB? does ubuntu still need one?07:42
tomreynnick1234: please also: df -h | pastebinit07:42
nick1234ls -l  /boot/extlinux is here : => http://termbin.com/uc1307:42
Triffid_Hunterlast time I made an initramfs was something like 6-7 years ago, and it was 2MB..07:43
nick1234df -h is here = >https://dpaste.de/Mmsi07:44
nick1234is there a solution other than resizing ? I have never done resizing is it safe?07:48
tomreynnick1234: everything is safe if you have backups, and you need to have backups.07:49
nick1234ok, what do you recommend to be the ideal size of /boot?07:50
tomreynnick1234: however, resizing this may not be much fun since you seem to have everything but /boot on LVM07:50
nick1234so...07:51
tomreynnick1234: can you explain how you arrived at the conclusion that you are 17.2 MB short for the update?07:51
nick1234update manager gives the message07:52
tomreynnick1234: can you post the full output?07:52
nick1234sure in a minute07:52
nick1234update manager msg : The upgrade needs a total of 158 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 17.3 M of disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt autoremove', and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your initramfs.07:53
tomreynnick1234: maybe the latter is the way to go then07:55
nick1234compress=xz ?? done that07:55
tomreynnick1234: did you also run "update-initramfs -k all -c" afterwards?07:56
nick1234no i didn't.07:56
tomreynthen run this now with sudo, so that the change is actually applied07:56
nick1234ok07:57
tomreynnick1234: and run 'df -h /boot' again afterwards so we'll know whether it made a difference.07:59
nick1234sure07:59
tomreynnick1234: i don't think you need the /boot/extlinux directory and files in it (last modified in 2016). those will be a leftover from when you used syslinux (rather than grub which you seem to be using now)08:00
nick1234yes it made difference = here => http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HnbFFc3YqN/08:00
tomreynnick1234: 2 MB missing, but maybe you can already do the update now08:01
nick1234so shall i remove the contents of extlinuix?08:01
tomreynnick1234: if you don't boot using syslinux, removing /boot/extlinux is fine08:02
nick1234i dont know if i use syslinux of not08:02
nick1234*or not08:02
tomreynnick1234: then keep it, it's not much anyways.08:02
nick1234I am able to update alas08:02
nick1234:) thanks guys08:03
tomreynnick1234: you're welcome. i guess you should probably reinstall + repartition sometime, though, since this issue can reoccur.08:03
nick1234thats what i was thinking. I have been on this system since 12.0408:04
nick1234theres lots of programs and settings etc which i dont want to lose08:04
nick1234i will try to resize the /boot08:05
EriC^^nick1234: can you run "find /boot -type f -exec du -h {} \; | sort -h"08:06
nick1234yes here http://termbin.com/88yk08:07
EriC^^nick1234: instead of resizing /boot if you not using lvm or something you could just make /boot a part of "/" and call it a day08:07
nick1234i am ok with it but I dont know how?08:08
EriC^^nick1234: what's it trying to update now? seems odd there's 135mb but it still needs 1708:10

ne2k I'm trying to run OpenVPN on Ubuntu bionic in lxc on Proxmox 5.2. I've worked out the lxc config to allow /dev/net/tun to be created in the guest, but it's not being created automatically. stuff I'm finding online suggests using lxc autodev hook, but this distro uses udev and the /dev in the container root doesn't actually have anything in it. what's the "right" way to get /dev/net/tun created at boot?08:22
tbozhi guys08:22
ne2kif I create it manually, it works. if I run udevadm trigger, it gets created, but it's not persistent across restarts. I've seen posts suggesting to create it with rc.local, but that does seem rather last century08:23
tbozwhen running `add-apt-repository ppa:gns3/ppa` i get "Err:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu bionic InRelease   500  Internal Server Error [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]"08:24
tbozsuggestions on what to do about that?08:24
tomreynne2k: we only support ubuntu here, not proxmox, which comes with its own kernels.08:24
tbozas i understand it, launchpad doesn't do mirroring08:24
ne2ktomreyn, it's a question about ubuntu in lxc and what the ubuntu way is of getting that device node created08:24
tbozi'm fine downloading the deb files manually and work with that until this is fixed ... but where should i put the files to have apt pick them up?08:25
ne2ktomreyn, I don't believe the difference of kernel to be relevant08:25
tomreyntboz: does 'curl http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease' and 'wget -O /tmp/InRelease http://ppa.launchpad.net/gns3/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease' work without warnings / errors?08:27
tbozwget didn't 20 mins ago - gonna check again08:28
tomreyntboz: since 500 is an internal *server* error (so actually on the remote ppa.launchpad.net server), and the ip address your system resolves to is what i see here as well (but the file loads fine for me), i suspect it was reall yjust a temporary server side error, which has since been resolved.08:31

ne2kutter hodgepodge of sysv init, upstart and systemd09:55
Cheezwell, it's not, it's systemd, it's just got legacy handlers for people used to the sysv init or upstart way of doing things.09:56
tomreynaLeSD: "service" is used for upstart, "systemctl" is used for systemd09:56
ne2kI /believe/ (and I may be wrong here) that, starting with 16.04, ubuntu /actually/ uses systemd, and the other stuff is just wrappers for backwards compatibility. what Cheez said09:56

tomreynaLeSD: two different things? what do you mean?10:00
aLeSDupstart and systemd10:01
CheezaLeSD: things move on, sysv init was no longer really fit for purpose, upstart was chosen to replace it, but then systemd became more widely accepted and distros like debian (which ubuntu is based on) switched to that instead, albeit controvercially. So ubuntu followed suit.10:02

avusurvietanime: we have /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ but none of the files there use any sort of special permissions12:19
survietanimeyeah, I'm writing ansible playbook to modify proxy for Apt on many servers, and I've seen that sticky bit12:19
survietanimeI can tell ansible to set it, but I don't get why sticky bit for a configuration file12:19
ioriawell,remove it :þ12:19
survietanimeavu: yeah, me neither, only /etc/apt/apt.conf has12:20

* survietanime hopes it's not a weirdness of the lxc template he downloaded :/12:21
survietanimeavu: yeah, but makes sense only on executable from what I know12:21
avuman chmod only talks about 'some older systems'12:21
avusurvietanime: what does it do there?12:21
survietanimeto get it sticky in memory, that's why it's named like that12:21
survietanimeit was useful in old times, computers with few memory12:22
avuagain, that's "for some older systems" according to the manpage, suggesting the bit does nothing on modern Linux12:22
survietanimeyeah, I know, but I was wondering if Ubuntu team set it, maybe it's somehow useful12:22
oerheksflj, you might want to reask in #kicad here on #freenode12:28

survietanimeioria: but, only on directories, not files, no?12:33
survietanimelike in /tmp, but I still don't get why on files12:33
ioriasurvietanime, most of the case, it's used on files12:34
survietanimeand /etc/apt doesn't has it set12:34
survietanimeioria: ok, so, the reason is to keep /etc/apt/apt.conf present even if it's empty.12:34
avujust looked it up, the linux kernel does indeed ignore the sticky bit on files12:34
survietanimeavu: ok, so, I think I won't care about it on my ansible playbook12:35

pikapikaHi13:08
pikapikaWhat is the ideal way to disable a piece of hardware/device?13:08
pikapikaI vaguely remember for a different linux variant there was a method wherein you entered a command which displayed a list of devices and their IDs, and when the device was in use it displayed the data obtained from it (for example if its a mouse, it would display along with its ID, movement realted details, etc). After that one edited an xml config file and added the device marked as disabled.13:10
pikapikaDoes a similar process work here? If not, what is the correct approach?13:10
survietanimeby disabling its module?13:13

survietanimekneeki: it's well know tool for system admins. If you capture the output of it, maybe someone can help13:16
survietanimekneeki: but, as you wrote, if you don't really care of how it happened, it would be faster to spawn a new virtual machine/container...13:17

Dice24Hello. I've installed a bittorrent software that is set up to work with a web gui on myip:8080. I opened the port 8080 using ufw allow 8080, but going to myip:8080 gives me the error "Connection refused". How do I solve this problem?14:08
lotus|NUCDice24: isnt it 127.0.0.1:8080 you need to open?14:10
SheepMaesterFirst try either lotus|NUC's suggestion or localhost:8080 and report back.14:11
Dice24Yes, localhost:8080. I don't know how to specify this when opening the port14:11
lotus|NUCDice24: wich torrent package is this, deluge?14:11
Dice24qbittorrent14:12
adrian_1908Dice24: have you ever accessed another server on localhost? E.g. does `localhost:631` (CUPS) work?14:13
lotus|NUCDice24: tryed another browser too?14:13
Dice24adrian_1908: doesn't work, but I have a web server that works14:16
Dice24lotus|NUC: yes14:16
Dice24I think there's a simple configuration somewhere that I haven't set14:17
lotus|NUCDice24: try 192.0.X.X:8080 also?14:17
adrian_1908Dice24: So, did you have to open a port for the web server, or did it just work? If the latter, then qBittorrent probably needs more configuration.14:17
Dice24adrian_1908: I think I had to open a port. qBittorrent doesn't have much in the configuration file and the guide didn't specify any other options. I think I've done something incorrect when opening the port14:20
Dice24lotus|NUC: I will right now14:20
adrian_1908Dice24: have you read the documentation? What did you write into the IP address field in qBittorrent prefs?14:21
Dice24adrian_1908: I am having trouble finding the options, I'm not using a gui14:23
adrian_1908Dice24: in your qBittorrent.conf, it would be `WebUI\Address=` under [Preferences]14:25
adrian_1908WebUI\Enabled=true WebUI\Port=8080 etc.14:27
Dice24adrian_1908: there isn't, I'm adding it then14:30
Dice24I cannot find any documentation that answers my questions14:34
Dice24adrian_1908: my config file seems to be very incomplete14:36
Dice24I don't know why this happened14:36
adrian_1908Dice24: I think that's normal, in the GUI version, qBittorrent only adds these options to the conf file if you diverge from the defaults. Sucks if there's no good documentation on these options as you say.14:38
Dice24adrian_1908: I followed specific instructions when installing this, which said that it should work after doing everything I did14:38
Dice24for some reason it's not enough in my case14:38
Dice24Makes me think I've done something wrong with the ports rather than the config14:39
adrian_1908Dice24: is it a headless server you're trying to configure?14:40
Dice24adrian_1908: the monitor is in another city so for me it is14:41
Dice24x11 is not possible14:41
pavlosDice24: netstat -tlp will show which ports are open and listening14:41
adrian_1908Hehe, i love the way you put that. I would try adding the options I mentioned, and setting WebUI\Address=127.0.0.1 and then use something like curl on http://127.0.0.1:8080 to see if the qBt web interface gets returned. If that works, you can look into other issues like ports.14:42
Dice24adrian_1908: https://pastebin.com/XLrVAfZx14:43

adrian_1908Dice24: you're reloading the config (or restarting qBt), yes?14:48
Dice24yes14:48
adrian_1908Yeah then it's probably ports. Alas, I don't know my way around ufw, so i cannot be of much help.14:48
Dice24I think I might be able to fix it14:49

Dice24pavlos: yes14:54
pavlosDice24: look at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/qbitorrent.log to see issues14:55
pavlosDice24: is qbittorrent service running?14:55
Dice24I don't see any issues14:57
Dice24yes it's running14:57
pavlosDice24: I'll try it on my system and let you know ...14:59
pavlosDice24: just tried it ... the line that says become qbtuser should be "sudo su - qbtuser", then I was able to access the gui w/o having to open ports15:05
Dice24pavlos: i'll uninstall and reinstall15:06
pavlosDice24: the - changes to the /home/qbtuser dir and maybe that could be the issue15:07
Dice24pavlos: "Before we continue, let's run qbittorrent so that it can ask us to accept the disclaimer, and save and create the config file to remember this setting. Doing this will create and save the configuration files under:" this doesn't work15:13
pavlosDice24: right, you do the First, line sudo su - qbtuser, verify with pwd and then qbittorrent-nox15:14
Dice24pavlos: thanks that worked15:15
pavlosDice24: if you are qbtuser, look into .config/qbittorrent/ dir15:16

pavloscan you ssh the host that has qbit?15:22
Dice24pavlos: I'm on the server15:23
adrian_1908pavlos: that's why my first suggestion was to have the qbt web interface listen on 127.0.0.1:8080 and curl from the machine itself to verify it's not qbt itself.15:24
pavlosDice24: my host is called FX, I installed qbit, it is running on a terminal ... I went to another host within my network, http://fx:8080 and get the gui15:25

alterjsivedisk dump*17:20
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: lets start in a different direction. Was this back up made in preparation for a backup or was it a nightly/scheduled job?17:21
pragmaticenigma*preparation for a data migration (not backup)17:21
alterjsivepragmaticenigma manual backup17:21
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: and the manual backup was done within the live boot disk?17:21
porky11I'm just running ubuntu live disk on my laptop, but about every 15 seconds, my display gets dark. The only way to get it on again is pressing the shutdown key and then pressing cancel, which lets me do something for maybe 10 seconds17:21
Dice24pavlos: same as me17:21
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, yes17:22
anton__Hi. I have a question about files and the file system and hardlinks...17:22
pavlosDice24: can you paste the sudo ufw status (if you have sensitive stuff, dont17:22
Dice24pavlos: disabled17:22
pavlosDice24: that's very strange ...17:23
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: Then that would mean the drive was offline (unmounted) during the backup. That's important from the context of ensuring the data wasn't corrupted or missing. Is the source drive compromised in any way, or is this just moving data to a more efficient storage setup?17:23
pavlosDice24: stop/start the qbittorent service to have a clean state17:23
nacc_anton__: if it's general, you may ask in #linux?17:24
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, 3 ssd's in raid 0 are not reliable, this is why i make regular backups. They worked fine when I did the backup17:25
anton__I have a directory (lets call it x) and in that dir are +9000 files. My webserver does serve files from that directory and my db server needs to change file from time to time... But this could cause some major problems. Because if client 1 is reading the file WHILE client 2 is changing... well client 1 is getting a byte mess.... so what should I do?17:25
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: So this is moving data from the SSD to the single larger drive?17:25
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, yes17:25
Dice24pavlos: I did17:26
porky11I also disabled every energy dimming, but didn'T help17:26
johnjayi'm on 16.04 and need gcc6, but gcc5 is only one available. i tried installing gcc-6-base but that's not enough?17:26
anton__nacc_: is this general?17:26
nacc_anton__: why is your database server changing files ina  web directory?17:28
pavlosDice24: and status is active (green) service, sudo journalctl -u qbittorrent.service  should give you many lines17:28
anton__nacc_: because at the start of a file are some important metadata bytes.17:29
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: and the SSDs / source drives were imaged while they were seen as a single device? (I'm not familiar with RAID terminology)17:29
pavlosDice24: my output http://termbin.com/muit17:29
anton__nacc_: its something like           |------metadata-------|----------filecontent--------|17:29
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, yes17:31
nacc_anton__: this sounds like poorly designed software deployment. If you want to make it so you don't get this inconsisent data, you should open those files in some exclusive mode.17:31
Dice24pavlos: I have the same output17:32
porky11not only the display gets dark but it suspends every 15 seconds17:32
alterjsivesoftware raid configured from my bios raid setup17:32
pavlosDice24: are you running on both ipv4 and ipv6 by chance?17:32
Dice24pavlos: I don't think so17:33
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: Some of what is confusing is it looks like both the imaging and restore are involving the same disks17:33
anton__nacc_: that would be good. but I dont know how something like that could be done...17:33
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: the image was created from isw_bhjfdigbfh_Volume1 and then the image was written to isw_bhjfdigbfh_Volume117:33
anton__nacc_: I thought maybe using hardlink could work... so I create a file in some directory (like /tmp) and write to it all changes; and than override the old file with that hardlink. and delete file in /tmp after that.... or is that complete shit?17:35
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, yeah it was a simular name. not exactly the same17:35
anton__nacc_: because what happens to the replaced file (maybe still open) if I remove last reference to that inote17:35
pavlosDice24: can you reboot merlin? I'm running out of ideas17:36
anton__nacc_: s/inote/inode17:36
Dice24yes17:36
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: want to double check that... what you posted, they're identical17:36
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: if=/dev/mapper/isw_bhjfdigbfh_Volume117:37
pragmaticenigmaalterjsive: of=/dev/mapper/isw_bhjfdigbfh_Volume117:37
alterjsivepragmaticenigma, yeah I don't remember the exact name, but it was simular17:37
nacc_anton__: i'm not sure what hardlinks have to do with it17:38
anton__nacc_: sry. thought had to use them... simple copy would do17:38
Dice24pavlos: I'll try some other things with x11 when I'm able to use it tomorrow17:39
Dice24thanks =)17:39
anton__nacc_: because I thought that override should happen in a single change...17:40
pavlosDice24: ok, we'll tackle it tomorrow17:40
nacc_anton__: right, what you are suggesting is possibly reasonable. You *could* do 1) temporary file as a copy of the current; 2) edit temporary file; 3) atomically rename temporary to original17:40
nacc_anton__: the atomic is the important part17:40
nacc_anton__: then any reader only sees the old or the new contents17:40
nickkedhello in here. anyone using mate desktop ?17:40
nacc_nickked: yes, many are, ask your actual question.17:41
anton__nacc_: yes. that is why I thought it should happen in one operation... linke in hardlink...17:41
anton__nacc_: but what would happen to the "old" file inode if it is no longer referenced by a file17:42
nickkednacc... suddenly my laptop wifi led is red... ok, BUT there is no wifi symbol in my upper taskbar... it worked some time ago,where to start troubleshooting ?17:42
Dice24pavlos: but first I should try to update the config to make sure it's correct17:42
nacc_nickked: i have no idea, sorry17:43
nacc_anton__: it will be removed?17:43
pavlosDice24: I followed that link, https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Setting-up-qBittorrent-on-Ubuntu-server-as-daemon-with-Web-interface-(15.04-and-newer)17:43
rfmanton__, the old file will disappear when the last process that has it open closes it.17:43
nickkednacc_, this ubuntu also uses wpasuplicant ?17:43
pavlosDice24: and remember,the sudo su - qbtuser17:43
Dice24pavlos: our configs were different17:44
Dice24what was your config again?17:44
anton__rfm: so this would work?17:45
pavlosDice24: you mean the /home/qbtuser/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf .... http://termbin.com/xxlr17:46
Dice24yes17:46
pavlosDice24: this is from the bionic box17:46

mezodHello, I am calling this script from crontab -e: NODE_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/babel-node /home/ubuntu/.../trialExpirationNotice.js >/var/log/everyday-scripts/trialExpirationNotice.log 2>&1. If I call it directly it works and the logs too, but when running from cron it doesn't log anything. I can see the script has run from the syslog. the folder everyday-scripts is 755 and owned by ubuntu root. Any ideas?17:47

rfmanton__, the write a file under a new name, then rename the old name to it is a very old UNIX trick.17:48
anton__rfm: cool.17:49
anton__rfm: did not know that.17:49
anton__rfm: and you are sure that the old file reader from webserver ... could still read the old file content (after overriding the "file" with new) till it closes the file?17:50
bynariehow to get kmesg??17:51
geirhamezod: that's root's crontab?17:51
geirhamezod: since the directory has mode 755 and owned by root, only root will be able to create files in there17:53
rfmanton__, yes, i'm sure.  read the unlink(2) man page (although you should use rename(2) instead of link and unlink to make it atomic)17:53
rfmanton__, note you should write the new file into the same file system (usually done by writing into the same directory), not /tmp,  since rename(2) does not work across mount points...17:57
anton__rfm: many thanks for all your help. But I am a new programmer and still new to unix/linux... Could you write a small example for explanation;     like if my directory whould be called xxx and the file in it zzz what steps whould you do in what sequence?17:57

qwebirc10775hello. ive got some Q please: installed ubuntu yesterday with the manualfullencryption method by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption after that the system was working and live, updated and stuff. next day somehow GRUB was broken. Tried boot=repair from a liveusb but it didnt worked out. after i tried chroot mehtod from live usb, like this https://gist.github.com/samuelcolvin/43c5ed2807e7db004b1058d0c9bfb19:59
qwebirc10775All prompted feedback was fine and the errors have been like expected. So, because a second attemp of everything did not worked out aswell, I freshly installed ubuntu today again with manualfullencryption. I got multiple Qs:19:59
qwebirc107751. The Manual encryption process got some package that gets installed which is sayed so to repair a corrupted bootloader after every system update, this is why after updates this little tool needs some extra time bevor you start the PC. I think this was my issue whz grub was corrupted, so, I am asking myself how – as a stupid end user – I can determ if I can safely shut down. For this, I need to know if the tool is finished.20:00
qwebirc107752. I am scared this will happen again. Some system update crashing GRUB. Boot repair and chroot manual repair does not work with LUKS/LVM/EFI Combination that easy. So, how should I repair my GRUB the next time this happens? Is there maybe some smart method to do so, or should I do some backups of EPS or something like that? >> I am new to linux, so please keep that in mind.20:00
qwebirc10775cop/paste issue. 1. The Manual encryption process got some package that gets installed which is sayed so to repair a corrupted bootloader after every system update, this is why after updates this little tool needs some extra time bevor you start the PC. I think this was my issue whz grub was corrupted, so, I am asking myself how – as a stupid end user – I can determ if I can safely shut down. For this, I need to know if the 20:01
qwebirc10775 the tool. But I dont even know the name. All I remember is some weird dropbox link which downloaded the package. Anybody got an Idea what I am talking about and knows how I can get some info about this thing?20:02
tomreynqwebirc10775: i'm still reading what you wrote, but the link https://gist.github.com/samuelcolvin/43c5ed2807e7db004b1058d0c9bfb returns a 40420:03
qwebirc10775https://gist.github.com/samuelcolvin/43c5ed2807e7db004b1058d0c9bfb06820:04
qwebirc10775actually tehre even was an updated instruction updated for EFI whith one line more at the end, after grub-update asking something like check grub again and write efi blocks. but it wasnt working20:05
tomreynqwebirc10775: i don't seem to know the utility / software you are referring to. i use full disk encryption on multiple systems including servers on a regular basis, and would know how to recover from failures. you may have a misconception about how full the boot loader and full disk encryption interact - in a standard setup as created by the ubuntu installer they have very little to do with one another, it is the initrd (not grub, the boot20:11
tomreynloader) which takes care of getting the crypto container prepared / ready.20:11
qwebirc10775@tomreyn: you ever encrypted like with the first link I provided, so that /boot sits within the encrpted partition? Because I wonder, you say you know how to recover from such event (grub starting bash), how, if boot=repair and chroot are not able to fix the issue?20:14
tomreynqwebirc10775: https://gist.github.com/samuelcolvin/43c5ed2807e7db004b1058d0c9bfb068 looks about right to me (maybe add "mount --bind /dev/pts /media/linux/dev/pts" after the other "mount --bind"'s)20:14
RDaneel01ivawhi everyone, I'm having a new issue that just started on it's own this morning. I've had chromium installed forever, but just today the mouse pointer has changed ONLY on chromium so it's not the same as all other apps. It's some weird black pointer. Any ideas on how to get this pointer cursor to be like the rest of the entire OS? I tried the usr/share/icons edit and that did not help.20:16
tomreynqwebirc10775: oh, i didn't realize that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption is about encrypting /boot, too. i don't usually do this, since this can easily break whenever you install some update.20:18
tomreynqwebirc10775: i think blackflow has experience with this configuration (FDE including /boot)20:19
qwebirc10775@tomreyn precisly :P and because of this, the manual lets you install some package that is some tool fixing this after every update. and about this I am concerned. You know how to get info about this? Like reading out once again what this package is?20:19
tomreynqwebirc10775: i suspect this package must be mentioned in these configuration instructions?20:24
qwebirc10775@tomreyn more or less. the manual asks you to shell load this // sudo wget --no-verbose --output-document=/usr/local/sbin/encryptinstallation https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmqnzqs1bbp6dm9/encryptinstallation?dl=120:26
qwebirc10775and within this package, after the ubuntu setup is done and grub failed to install, this package downloading another package by some dropbox link and this one loads many modules.20:26
tomreynqwebirc10775: so you download and run scripts from some dropbox repository there. i don't know who manages this dropboy repository and whether i should trust them. a good reason for me not to use this script unless i'd reviewed it myself (which, at this point, i have not). this approach of FDE including /boot is surely for advanced users, and i'm not personally familiar with it, so can't help you there.20:32
qwebirc10775@tomreyn I am with you. for me as a newbie to linux who is coming from windows it is fucked up that an encrypted install is so vulnerable and so complicated. and that services like dropbox are more or less officalz reffered to. so, about the first script, I was able to find it! and by this, I now found the other one. Look at this please>20:35
tomreynqwebirc10775: you may appreciate that a new cryptsetup version is going to be coming soon, though, which should make the boot process with FDE much more flexible and, i hope, will alos result in better out-of-the-box support of encrypted /boot. in the men time you can use resort to other methods to make it less likely that you will boot a system which has been comrpomised due to modifications of /boot20:35
qwebirc10775within the first dropbox Link I provided you, you will find just a simple script even somebody who is not coding, like me, can understand easily. does not look like it has bad backdoors, it just does some simple jobs.20:36
qwebirc10775but, more interessting,look at this one here>20:36
qwebirc10775https://www.dropbox.com/s/npoazngcj3khcvf/refreshgrub?dl=120:36
qwebirc10775download it and see throw it, I am doing right now20:36
tomreynqwebirc10775: please mind your language. you seem to have missed the fact that this guide you followed points out that this is not a supported installaiton method.20:36
tomreynit's also part of the community guides, not official documentation.20:37
=== Guest83442 is now known as Mobbt
=== Mobbt is now known as Mony
qwebirc10775well... ubuntu has no supported installation method at all if you want to go fully encrypted, which is the even worser fact.20:38
=== Mony is now known as Mony1
pragmaticenigmaqwebirc10775: The assumption is, that if your seeking full system encryption, you know what you are doing.20:39
tomreynqwebirc10775: that's not really worse than what other OS's do IMO.20:39
qwebirc10775pragmaticenigma has nothing to do with the unconvinience you need to go throw. interrupting installation processes and some workarounds. that is not clean at all.20:40
tomreynqwebirc10775: "not supported"20:41
pragmaticenigmaA distros main purpose is to handle as many usage cases as possible for the greater community. At this time, the encryption methods provided hit the majority of user needs. What you're seeking goes above and beyond, and with that as tomreyn stated, moves you beyond the scope of this support channel.20:42
qwebirc10775@tomreyn whatever. I see that the comparing&competition already begins. .20:42
maxcell_Hi, i'm on 18.04 Budgie and my system completly froze up. Mouse, Keyboard, Screen, everything frozes but not the sound (i use external dac). And passing throught this for a long time what can be wrong with my PC? How can i know?20:43
tomreynqwebirc10775: you can discuss topics beyond what's supported in #ubuntu-discuss or in #ubuntu-offtopic20:43
qwebirc10775@pragmaticengima please stop arguing. its laughable that a distri, or an entire project like unix, is still at this point after 50? years. not even a working GUI full encrypted installation process with working update capability. well. I know some other shitty OS which does this quite nicely20:43

pragmaticenigmamaxcell_: What are you doing prior to the system freezing? Have you installed any software or drivers not provided through Ubuntu's primary software channels?20:46
maxcell_No, i install ubuntu yesterday, install nvidia from ubuntu drivers management, and open up Dota 2.20:46
maxcell_very clean install20:46
maxcell_minimal install even20:47
tomreynmaxcell_: you say this is not the first time your system freezes up fully, what were you runni9ng on it when it previously froze? also ubuntu 18.04 or some other version or other OS?20:47
maxcell_Other, it frozes with Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian testing, Manjaro, everything20:47
maxcell_but not Windows (if you believe)20:48
tomreynmaxcell_: so you were running windows on it for a while and it did not freeze then but only when you were running various linux distributions, right?20:49
pragmaticenigma!pm | qwebirc1077520:50
ubottuqwebirc10775: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.20:50
pragmaticenigmaqwebirc10775: I do not accept private messages20:50
maxcell_tomreyn: yes, didn't freeze on windows20:51
tomreynmaxcell_: if so, this may suggest that your mainboard firmware treats Linux differently than it treat windows. firmware updates (bios updates) can sometimes help there, and are a good thing to try as a first step.20:51
maxcell_i'm on ubuntu budgie right now, after reboot from the freeze20:51
maxcell_tomreyn: i have the newest bios update on my PC20:52
maxcell_tomreyn: that's not very new tho, its an asus h61m-a/br20:52
maxcell_old hardware20:52
tomreynmaxcell_: there's also this article which suggests a workaround you could try http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html20:52
tomreynmaxcell_: can you post the web address returned by: dmesg | pastebinit20:53
tomreynmaxcell_: this command uploads your kernel log to paste.ubuntu.com20:53
maxcell_yes, i'm reading the website you send me during this20:53
maxcell_ok right away20:54
maxcell_tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j4r3v7xXW6/20:54
qwebirc10775would be somebody still up for some Q about the manualfullencrypted with /boot and EFI talk? There are stil unanswered Q: 1. How to prevent grub from getting corrupted, like how to make sure the grubrefresher is working properly, and how to prevent grubrefresher from getting interrupted by a shutdown? 2. How to prepare for a grub corruption futurewise? Boot-repair to chroot the luks and grub-install isnt working, so is there anz20:56
qwebirc10775wow, because of the terminology I feel like a rocket scientist talking to professional collegs. well, I just an enhanced GUI noob and can only copy paste and brain some stuff... way to much for just an encrypted ubuntu ... :(20:58
pragmaticenigmaqwebirc10775: You were told, your situation isn't supported here and it is offtopic... please go to #ubuntu-offtopic or find a relavent channel for your question20:59
tomreynmaxcell_: thanks, give me some minutes to look over it21:00
maxcell_tomreyn: sure21:01
maxcell_tomreyn: hey, my "strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT |grep -i windows | sort" only return: Windows 2001,2006 and 200921:02
maxcell_tomreyn: should i put 2009 on acpi_os= ?21:02
maxcell_i use windows 1021:02
maxcell_on dualboot21:02
maxcell_tomreyn: i'm going to reboot brb21:04
maxcell_tomreyn: hi21:06
maxcell_tomreyn: was some ACPI errors before when booting, its gone, i don't know if it will solve all the freezes but thank you for that21:07
tomreynmaxcell_: great, maybe it'll help - i hope it does. this is the first time i see a mainboard vendor produce / maintain different models of their products for a single country, including separate firmware.21:10
tomreynhttps://www.asus.com/br/Motherboards/H61MABR/HelpDesk_BIOS/ vs https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H61MK/HelpDesk_BIOS/21:11
tomreynbrazil vs. rest-of-the-world (and this is not about soccer)21:11
maxcell_lol21:11
maxcell_i thought was just the name21:11
tomreynno, there's no english language variant of the BR page.21:12
maxcell_i'm afraid to update the bios with the h61m-k firmware21:12
maxcell_even tho its more recent21:13
tomreyni suspect H61MABR firmware 0503 (2014/08/22) is based on H61MK 0801 (2014/08/15), with localization and some (unknown) modifications applied. that's what a quick diff --text suggests, anyways.21:14
maxcell_yeah21:15
tomreynmaxcell_: my guess is the freezes are nvidia (driver) related, these XID 13 "Graphics Exception" aren't good.21:18
tomreynline 841 of your dmesg and later21:18
tomreynif you still have those now, look into replacing the driver ( https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa *may* help )21:20
maxcell_tomreyn: hmm21:21
maxcell_tomreyn: i will try 39621:22
tomreynthe ppa above got a newer version / build of 390 (.87 whereas you now have .48)21:23
tomreynbut i'm not good at nvidia trouble shooting and i try to prevent it, too.21:23
ASMJunkieHow can i am having some troubles with nvidia drivers. Nvidia SMI says the drivers are not loaded. I have them installed, they are just not being used. how can i fix this21:25
hellhoundcaca pichi poto21:28
maxcell_tomreyn: whats the name of that program that controlls the drivers by GUI on ubuntu?21:28
maxcell_tomreyn: finally found it21:29
maxcell_lol21:29
tomreynmaxcell_: ubuntu-drivers (CLI) / software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4 (GUI)21:29
maxcell_yeah i found it on the welcome screen lol21:30
kermytan update today on my 18.04 seems to have broken my X.org I can now onlu log in with wayland21:32
kermytwhen I try to login with anything other than wayland It simply returns to the login screen with no visible errors21:33
kermytI can't find anything obvious in /var/log/X.org.0.log21:34
kermytok the error is permission denied to /dev/fb021:40
kermytnot certain how to resolve this though21:41
tomreynthat's not usually a critical error. see also ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.*.log*21:41

lavinho?21:44
tomreyn!sound | lavinho21:48
ubottulavinho: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.21:48
kermyt[  1684.621] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)21:48
kermytubuntu's inability to play nice with Nvidia is starting to get under my skin21:49
tomreynkermyt: it's more nvidia's inability to play nice with linux21:51
tomreynconsider acquiring hardware by a vendor which support open source next time.21:51
kermytnone of my other distros break things as regularly as ubuntu reguardig nvidia21:52
kermytI lay part of the blame on the specter fiasco21:52
kermytthat was when this all started in ernest21:52
mauz555how to build GCC without STDLIBC ?21:53
nacc_mauz555: presumably you want a gcc channel21:53
nacc_kermyt: are you using the ubuntu-packaged drivers?21:53
kermytnot anymore. when this started I moved to a PPA that has bleeding edge drivers21:54
kermytshould I try to fall back?21:54
kermytI have been fighting with this laptop's nvidia drivers off and on for over a year now21:55
nacc_kermyt: well, using a PPA is it's own issue21:56
kermytit's almost like kernel updates is not rebuilding the modules21:56
nacc_kermyt: and it's rather sad to blame ubuntu for a ppa's issue21:56
nacc_kermyt: might not be21:56
kermytI was forced to move to the PPA for a reason21:56
kermytinteresting21:57
nacc_kermyt: you should see dkms logs if it is, i think21:57
nacc_dunno tbh; i've never used the nvidia drivers21:57
kermytdkms... ok21:58
kermytahhh ubuntu has disabled my PPA22:02
nacc_kermyt: did you recently upgrade?22:03
kermytyes22:03
nacc_kermyt: most upgrade paths disable PPAs, yes22:03
kermytthe upgrade initially fixed several issues22:03
nacc_as PPAs don't necessarily support the new releases22:03
kermytbut today an update broke my non wayland GUI22:04
nacc_kermyt: does it happen with a test user too?22:04
kermythmm I don't know interesting question22:04
=== capella is now known as capella|away
nacc_kermyt: always useful to have an unused user around for stuff like that22:05
kermytI'm making one now eys22:05

Saabstory88In 18.04, what is the correct way to launch a media player application on login?22:21
tomreynSaabstory88: a .destop starter file with X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true stored in ~/.local/share/applications/22:26
Saabstory88tomreyn: and it will wait for the desktop to load?22:36
Saabstory88and do you mean .destop, or .desktop?22:37
xamithan.desktop of course22:38
tomreynSaabstory88: it's a file whose name ends in ".desktop", right22:39
Saabstory88yes22:40
Saabstory88I had tried to use the startup applications gui, but it failed to launch22:40
tomreynSaabstory88: those will be handled by gnome shell or any other desktop which complies with freedesktop.org standards.22:40
tomreynhttps://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/22:41
Saabstory88https://pastebin.com/PFFJkDmV22:42
tomreynyou may need to: xdg-desktop-icon install /home/REDACTED/.local/share/applications/mpv_headless.desktop22:44
Saabstory88okay. when accessing it through the application menu, it works perfectly22:46
