[00:07] Please [00:07] lol [00:08] I am a newbie but I am using Ubuntu now [00:08] yeah we can see that from your question [00:08] computer science has not much to do with the operating system youre using [00:10] okay thanks... [00:11] but well.. welcome to the better side of life! :) [00:11] JiZhanHuang: mit has open courseware [00:11] oh. so what i need is actually documentations of Ubuntu? [00:12] also maybe check udemy for linux courses [00:12] yeah.. or linux documentation [00:12] debian will do great aswell. [00:12] or simply get a linux commandline book that will help you to get up and running with the most important commands [00:16] thanks all :) [00:20] So for newbie like me, the 1st step is just like to learn how to drive a car but no need to learn how the car is manufactured. [00:21] :) [00:21] yeah kinda.. you first learn to drive the car and maybe manufacture a car seat [00:21] or a door before going for the whole thing [00:22] thanks :) [00:22] and driving cars is pretty much different then manufacturing a seat [00:23] so you wont find many books helping you with both at once.. you need two books [00:23] :D [00:28] oh you mentioned Debian documentation and Ubuntu Documentation are compatible and both helpful? [00:30] more or less compatible yes [00:30] so if you dont find your answer with ubuntu keyword try debian [00:31] but you probably better start with something like this https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/ [00:35] !manual | JiZhanHuang [00:35] JiZhanHuang: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[00:56] doubt you going to get that close of an alternative. they are general alternatives.. Try https://alternativeto.net/ [00:57] you're* [01:03] JiZhanHuang, might try https://code-industry.net/masterpdfeditor/ [01:06] wow cool i haven't googled out that. thanks Tin_man :) [01:06] no problem, hope it's what you can use [01:15] Question: I have a hard drive in a http://iodd.kr/wordpress/product/iodd-2531/ which I have various ISO images to boot systems from.

Some places I will be at I won't have internet access so don't say install it to the live cd each time. I can't use an ISO with persistance because the drive looks for a folder [01:15] named ISO and then each ISO in it is treated as a DVD image. === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [01:21] MannyLNJ, there are instructions for how to create a custom live CD in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization but I don't know how up-to-date it is [01:25] rfm, thanls [01:26] MannyLNJ, but it might be easier just to download the .deb files you need to install the other software to the portable disk and install them every time (wouldn't need net access) [01:28] rfm You gave me an idea. Can you tell me how to install the .deb after it is downloaded? I only know how to use apt-get to install [01:28] MannyLNJ, "dpkg -i path-to-the.deb === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:31] ?

I'd like to enable the curl module for 7.1. However, on nmy system the command 'phpenmod' is intercepted by php7.2 [09:37] Is there another way I can enable the module? Like, I figure that the command 'phpenmod' does some stuff that I can probably do myself manually [09:38] bobdobbs: yes, symlinks somewhere in /etc/php... [09:38] I don't have access to a php installation right now to check but it's basically symlinking, like apache sites-enabled and sites-available are symlinking. [09:39] oh yup [09:39] $1M question tho: why do you have two PHP versions like that in the same namespace... what problem does that solve. [09:39] ikr [09:39] this is my local webdev environment and I honestly have no idea how or why I have two php's installed [09:39] oh, I think I remember [09:39] so why not drop 7.1 [09:40] I had 7.1 and then upgraded. But the upgrade broke some stuff. I can't remember which stuff. [09:40] doesn't sound like you have regular ubuntu installation theere, in which installing both at the same time would not be possible [09:40] I've got apache using php7.1 via fpm. But if I remove that, and push apache to use 7.2 I might have to install and maybe even conf a bunch of modules [09:40] so for the moment I'd rather just keep using 7.1 [09:41] bobdobbs: apache via fpm doesn't care about php version [09:41] it's fastcgi, and httpd doesn't care what's on the other side of the socket [09:41] oh yup. I getcha [09:41] It wasn't apache that broke. It was the apps using it. [09:41] which ubuntu is this? [09:41] 18.04 [09:42] well 7.2 is the standard in bionic, so normal package installations should all just work with 7.2. if you have 7.1 there you've broken it. [09:43] and php apps shouldn't break on switch from 7.1 to 7.2, unless they're relying one of these: http://php.net/manual/en/migration72.incompatible.php === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [09:50] yeah, they shouldn't have broken. I'm basically just hosting a bunch of wordpress sites [09:50] but for some reason, and somehow they broke. [09:50] I can't remember how. It was so long ago. === kundancool is now known as anonymousK [10:17] ok, so I couldn't figure out how to enable php-curl for php7.1. So maybe I should properly switch to php7.2 after all. How do I get php7.1-fpm to stop intercepting php requests, and get php7.2-fpm to take over? === ekshunya_ is now known as ekshunya [10:20] oh wait.

[10:55] EoflaOE: I think so [10:56] and none of them wakes the computer up (not turning on to switch users screen)? [10:58] Yep. I can't tell why. [10:59] Looking up the reason of the issue... [11:01] actually I have to eat food and look up the issue [11:03] Thanks [11:04] You are welcome [11:23] Hi folks [11:24] Hi [11:25] can't get dualboot to work on 18.04, trying to put on different ssd than windows and it always goes to grub prompt [11:25] both fedora and centos worked fine [11:47] Hi, after installing and configuring nullmailer, logically i would receive emails from "*** SECURITY information for hostname" myuser@mydomain.com(eg. if there has been a user authentication failure). mydomain.com is set under/etc/mailname but how do you change the 'myuser' part? anyone know how to change that sender address when these emails get sent out from the system? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [12:01] littlejohnny: isn't the myuser@ the username used to authenticate to the MTA (SMTP server) nullmailer is connecting to? [12:02] dariken, run sudo update-grub on on one of the other dustos and it will thwn include ubintu in grub's menu , [12:02] littlejohnny: otherwise, it's in the "From:" field of the email file being generated that is passed to nullmailer [12:02] err distros [12:04] err: not enough coffee [12:04] yeah TJ- , going for my 2nd cup :-) [12:05] TJ-, no, the myuser@ is the user of ubuntu. Yes its probably in that "From: " field of the email file being generated but how can i find that file to change the from field? [12:05] TJ-, basically its root sending out those mails. but i want to change the FROM address [12:05] littlejohnny: I'm not familiar enough with nullmailer; I was advising from reading the docs. I presume you need to look at whatever is generating the email that is being sent :) [12:06] littlejohnny: is it perhaps using an email template file? [12:06] TJ-, nullmailer is just a sendmail emulator [12:07] littlejohnny: I know - so what is actually creating the email that nullmailer is sending? That's where you need to look. [12:07] TJ-, not sure. I thought it would be grabbing the user from gecos field /etc/passwd but i dont know now [12:08] littlejohnny: apparently it is 'sudo' [12:09] littlejohnny, don't you have a /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr file ? [12:10] ioria, yes and thats the email it sends TO. not sends FROM. [12:12] littlejohnny: the message is from sudo, the subject is hard-coded. I'd presume it'd be sent from root@hostname - is that what you see ? [12:15] TJ-, sometimes i see root, sometimes i see myUbuntuUser@hostname which is what i want to change [12:15] depending on which user made the authentication failure [12:17] littlejohnny: see "man sudoers" and the sections about the options mailto, mailsub, mail_badpass and others - I don't see any mention of being able to set the mailfrom [12:18] littlejohnny: sorry, yes I do! it has a "mailfrom" option which says "mailfrom Address to use for the “from” address when sending warning and error mail..." [12:18] TJ-, thanks but how do i configure or change that? === mkv is now known as m4v [12:19] littlejohnny: read "man visudo" [12:23] @c2f 39 [12:23] 102°F [12:35] R13ose, is your hard drive SATA? If so, what is your SATA mode? [12:36] EoflaOE: I am not sure. How do I check? [12:38] Also my computer crashes a lot if I open too many tabs in Opera Browser. [12:40] On the terminal, execute "lspci | grep SATA". If nothing returned, then your HDD is IDE. If it returned "SATA Controller [IDE mode]", switch to AHCI in the BIOS Settings. [12:45] EoflaOE: it is in AHCI mode === kundancool is now known as anonymousK === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [12:59] I am still looking... === kundancool is now known as anonymousK [13:01] R13ose: Can you post the output of "cat /sys/power/mem_sleep" so I can know which sleep type you're using? Mine is "shallow". [13:04] EoflaOE: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3RWwMnJSn6 [13:09] Are you sure that when you try to wake up the computer turns on, but the screen is all blank? Or does it not turn on at all? [13:09] TJ-, i opened up sudo visudo but it doesnt have MAILFROM in there. should i add it? and where is that option MAILFROM explained in sudoers manpage? [13:10] EoflaOE: maybe it will turn on but I am too fast [13:13] Do you mean that the screen is blank completely? [13:13] littlejohnny: when you do "man sudoers" you can search (it's using 'less' as the pager) by pressing / then typing the search term, so /mailfrom then press enter. press 'n' for next match in the same search direction, or '?' to search backwards from current location === anonymousK is now known as kundancool === kundancool is now known as anonymousK [13:15] R13ose: there's a known bug for XFCE/Xubuntu with lightdm/light-locker whereby if you put the PC to sleep by closing the lid (e.g. a laptop) when the PC wakes up the monitor will be turned off! Switching to another tty proves it is working, e.g. Alt+Ctrl+F2 to get tty2 [13:16] TJ-, got it thanks. So if MAILFROM is not inside sudoers, do i add it with "Defaults mailfrom=user@domain.com ?" [13:17] TJ-: I am on Kubuntu [13:18] Hello, I need help rolling back drivers apparently a software update I lost my 3d ability (wayland is gone) and I have a Radeon R7 360, for some reason I cannot find or figure out how to go back to the previous drivers (or rollback the most recent update) [13:19] EoflaOE: yes but seems the laptop is on. I don't close the lid [13:19] So you used "Suspend" in the KDE start menu or power menu. Is that right? [13:20] * SuntopK sits and waits. [13:21] SuntopK: apt doesn't support downgrades really. without filesystem checksums, the only way is to try reinstall previous versions manually, one by one, of each package. /var/log/apt/history.log can help you figure out which those are [13:22] SuntopK: however... I'd rather try to figure out what went wrong and see if it's fixable. [13:22] s/filesystem checksums/filesystem snapshots/ [13:22] EoflaOE: nope. I just leave the laptop on [13:23] Blackflow: it is not that there is any issue, just lost the 3d ability this was after the most recent update. :( I guess I AM SOL because I dont know if I even have the archives [13:24] TJ-, i changed it like that but i am still receiving emails from myuser instead of the email i provided in "mailfrom" [13:24] littlejohnny: yes, that looks correct. Instead of adding it to the system /etc/sudoers file you can drop it into a file of its own e.g. /etc/sudoers.d/mailfrom which can be included from /etc/sudoers by removing the # (comment) from the start of the line "#includedir /etc/sudoers.d" in /etc/sudoers [13:24] SuntopK: thing with Wayland is, it's stil highyl experimental and there be warts. You shouldn't be using it unless you're prepared (and know how to) fix issues like this [13:25] -_- [13:25] SuntopK: the apt archives are under /var/cache/apt/archives/ [13:26] TJ-, that sounds like a better way instead of modifiying the sudoers file. But now that i have edited the sudoers file i am still not receiving mails from the address i specified. :( [13:27] okay [13:27] R13ose: What about posting an output of "cat /sys/power/state"? Does it have "disk"? [13:29] My laptop is so slow. [13:29] littlejohnny: chmod 440 the files in /etc/sudoers.d/ or they won't be applicable === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [13:31] littlejohnny: check the setting is valid with "sudo -l" [13:31] EoflaOE: yes I see disk [13:31] TJ-, it is there when i did "sudo -l" [13:32] but still sending it as my user [13:32] littlejohnny: hehehe I think its playing silly beggars with you :) [13:32] Go to the KDE System Settings. You should see Energy Saving. Did you see that? [13:32] littlejohnny: which notification are you receiving? the mailfrom - as I read it - applies for badpass but not necessarily to confirm a successful login [13:33] Okay I found them I have installed them I hope this works (fingers crosssed) [13:33] TJ-, for bad pass yes. i am deliberately putting bad password and receiving mail from myuser [13:34] littlejohnny: OK, and did you enclose the email address inside double quotes as "mailfrom" says you need to do, to avoidi the @ being interpreted as a sudoer command ? [13:34] TJ-, yes i have [13:34] littlejohnny: as in Defaults mailfrom="user@mydomain.com@ [13:34] :( [13:34] oops, s/@/"/ [13:35] littlejohnny: hmmm, let me try it here [13:35] but put the same amount of spaces between "Defaults" and the mailfrom [13:35] like the other Defaults ones [13:35] in other words i did not put one space netween "Defaults" and "mailfrom" [13:36] EoflaOE: yes I see that [13:36] TJ- [13:37] littlejohnny: OK, I totally misread the part about the #includedir - the "#" MUST be there, it's not a comment prefix its part of the command Grrrr! talk about obtuse syntax; reminds of significant invisible whitespace in Python! [13:37] Can you try to disable "Screen Energy Saving" on these 3 tabs, AC Power, Battery, and Low Battery if it is checked? [13:38] Done [13:38] Can you see if it fixes this problem? [13:38] TJ-: yeah I hate that. sudoers, apparmor profiles, stupid things. [13:39] EoflaOE: okay, I will not do anything for a bit. [13:39] TJ-, ok cause that was the other problem i was going to tell you about, if i wanted to create the file like you said within sudoers.d. It gave me a syntax error but i put the # back. But anyway, the main problem is the mailfrom isnt working. let me try create the file. [13:40] EoflaOE: while waiting for that, what about my opera crashing? [13:40] littlejohnny: if you include files from sudoers.d, those have to be chmodded 440 [13:40] littlejohnny: I've got additional issues here; I ran a manual logrotate a couple days ago and just discovered there are now no rsyslog logs (syslog/kern.log/auth.log) ! [13:41] blackflow, thanks i will give it those permissions now [13:41] blackflow: I've got files chmod 460 there; they work too. [13:42] TJ-: that's a weird perm, but I suppose it'd work as long as its o-w [13:42] littlejohnny: generally you do "sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/myfile" and that sorts everything out [13:43] blackflow: yeah, and ownership 0:0 I think [13:43] I have random freezes on ubuntu 18.04 to the point that I cannot move the cursor and I have to hold the power button on my laptop. Can you help me identify what causes these freezes? [13:43] R13ose: Each tab uses some resources. If the tab is a high number, then it uses too many resources. [13:43] EoflaOE: how many are too many tabs? [13:43] varaindemian: nvidia driver? [13:43] varaindemian: check /var/log/kern.log for hardware lockups, possibly the GPU driver [13:44] R13ose: At about 50+ tabs open [13:44] blackflow: what do you mena? [13:44] Oh srry [13:44] no [13:44] I have no nvidia [13:44] varaindemian: there's been a lot of that with Intel i915 recently [13:44] i5 5300u [13:44] TJ-, ok, so inside /etc/sudoers.d/mailfrom i put one line containing "Defaults mailfrom=WhateverUser@domain.com" and then do sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/mailfrom ? [13:45] EoflaOE: how do I know how many tabs are open? [13:45] varaindemian: I asked because there are known issues with the default nvidia proprietary driver... at least, were. and those were the symptoms. [13:45] I see. No vidia graphics card on my machine [13:46] littlejohnny: Defaults mailfrom="whateveruser@domain.com" [13:46] littlejohnny: Defaults mailfrom="WhateverUser@domain.com" [13:46] varaindemian: check /var/log/kern.log for clues [13:46] yes sorry forgot that. let me try it [13:47] R13ose: Try "Tab Counter" by "daawesomep". It counts all tabs. [13:48] tons of messges in /var/log/kern/log [13:48] tons of messges in /var/log/kern.log [13:48] varaindemian: show us the end: "pastebinit <( tail -n 500 /var/log/kern.log )" [13:49] TJ-, i already made the mistake and now i cannot sudo anything. omg. [13:49] its giving me error [13:49] everytime i sudo [13:49] littlejohnny: you used visudo for all your changes? [13:49] >>> /etc/sudoers.d/mailfrom: syntax error near line 1 <<< [13:49] littlejohnny: visudo should've prevented syntax errors [13:50] TJ-: is pastebinit a program? [13:50] varaindemian: it is yes [13:50] i did not use visudo to create the file.. fuck [13:50] littlejohnny: lessons. :) cherish them. [13:50] No swearing. [13:50] sorry [13:50] littlejohnny: OK, so do you have another terminal shell open that has recently used sudo? [13:50] that is ok littlejohnny. [13:50] blackflow, is there a way i can revert back? [13:50] TJ-, no [13:50] now ur dun goofd, if your root has no password assigned. [13:51] https://askubuntu.com/questions/73864/how-to-modify-an-invalid-etc-sudoers-file [13:51] hmmm pkexec, yes. that might work. [13:52] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t3YtCgV5gM/ [13:53] varaindemian: that looks perfect, no issues showing there [13:54]
