[00:04] Hi, I try to install the package 'libqt5multimediagsttools5', but I get the error 'Unable to locate package'. I tried to update and upgrade, but without effect. Does anyone have a clue of what I could do? [00:05] pastebin full error [00:06] oh so i have to do it manually [00:06] wbr: what version are you running? [00:07] from Mint 19 [00:08] it is based on Ubuntu 18.04 [00:08] https://pastebin.com/RE9aLBRF [00:08] there u go [00:08] wbr: this channel only supports actual ubuntu, not 'based on' [00:08] Sorry, I thought this was the right place to go as it use the ubuntu repos [00:09] mint has their own channel, #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:09] wbr, "apt-cache search XYZ", to find what is in your repos. Your repos aren't the ubuntu repos, I'm sure. [00:09] ok thanks for the tip [00:10] A distro can't hijack another distros repos. [00:11] my bad, I am more used to arch but I am tried to fix a dependancy bug with mint. I thought that the apt-get system pointed to either debian or ubuntu repos [00:11] trying [00:18] my boot process takes 2min20sec on a fast machine suddenly after upgrading my version of ubuntu. Anyone know where to start looking for issues? [00:19] systemd-analyze plot shows plymouth-wait-quit-service as using 30sec [00:19] nshire, look at your systemd log. [00:23] nshire: or try systemd-analyze blame [00:25] these are the results. mostly plymouth https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rhvVfBRd5w/ [00:33] nshire, what do the logs say? /var/log/boot.log [00:34] You might want to run plymouth in debug mode, to see what the problem is. [00:39] anything in particular I should be looking for in boot.log? [00:58] anything new in the search for why my usb isnt showing up as a drive in programs? [01:04] gostforest, did you ever post the output? [01:08] Its me, I need reccomendation for software that can burn an iso to my usb [01:09] all the other software doesnt notice my usb's existence [01:09] gostforest: can you see it in the disks utility? [01:09] gostforest: I mean I think I see it as sdb in that log of yours [01:10] Yeah, without the output, I can't help. dd is the software you want, it's already installed. But it sounds like you have another problem, if the usb doesn't show up in other software. [01:13] gostforest: Assuming that is your disk (14.6GB), you can just use `sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb` from a terminal. There are of course graphical usb writers but this command is so easy that I tend to prefer it. === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [01:57] I am in Australia. I am connected the NBN here. My phone is connected to the VOIP provided by my ISP. Can I install a SIP softphone application and answer the VOIP phone done by my provider? [02:06] neildugan, yes & no. depends on your ISP i suspect. my current provider allows for it (i'm still on dsl), but they warn they use a modified (proprietary) protocol with their nbn service & my current setup will likely not connect - i must use their equipment they tell me; but i have no idea if that's true.. [02:21] im trying to install ubuntu server 16.04.5 from usb stick to usb hard drive. can this be done? [02:21] ubuntu server 16.04.5 (I386) [02:22] Yes [02:22] Er. [02:22] the installer process dont seem to find the usb drive [02:22] Misread. [02:22] Ignore me... [02:22] crap. i thought it was going to be easy. should have known better :) [02:22] it (usually) is easy [02:23] im not sure we can install to usb drive [02:24] usb has terrible performance though [02:25] alot better then this usb 2.0 flash drive [02:26] how can I run Mint desktop manager cinnamon in ubuntu [02:29] paco_, package `cinnamon` provides the connamon desktop environment (not a desktop-manager, but DE) for Ubuntu 18.04 & 18.10, eg. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/cinnamon [02:29] s/connamon/cinnamon [02:29] !info cinnamon-desktop | paco_ [02:29] paco_: Package cinnamon-desktop does not exist in bionic [02:30] sorry ignore my last, it was cinnamon-desktop-environment [02:30] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/cinnamon-desktop-environment [02:34] So those are the packages but how I do install them? sorry very unexperience guiverc [02:35] what Ubuntu release are you using paco_ [02:36] 18.10 [02:36] sorry DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS" [02:37] :) `sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment` should install the full desktop & extra components for cinnamon. at your login screen you should see a gear type logo, so you can select which DE (desktop environment) you want to use for that session. it doesn't replace your existing DE, it adds another to your system [02:38] do I need to add the repo or is on the standard repo? [02:39] it's in universe; so as long as universe (community supported) is enabled - you're good to go [02:39] worked [02:39] thanks [02:39] is getting installed now :D [02:39] I try to su from root to another user and I get this error message: Cannot execute USERNAME: Permission denied.. what gives? [02:39] the power of ubuntu on Cinammon awesone!! [02:40] I try to su from root to another user and I get this error message: Cannot execute USERNAME: Permission denied.. what gives? also when I reboot the system and try to login to this user it seems to work but them goes back to the login page immediately [02:41] ysiry_, i've seen it I believe long ago, I'd check your config files for that user & look for an error, but can't advise where to look sorry [02:41] :/ [02:43] Anyone know of a program that accurately determines the endian of the machine it is running on ? [02:44] it also says Cannot execute USERname: No such file or directory [02:45] guiverc, thanks I think I will try. [02:45] any idea what to do? [02:46] you're most welcome neildugan :) [02:46] it's strange i can create a new user and su to that one [02:47] en1gma, I have installed ubuntu on a USB pendrive before :-) so it can be done. [02:48] ysiry_, have you double checked the permission of the users home directory? [02:49] neildugan how do I go about doing that? [02:49] user [02:49] friend [02:49] ysiry_, "#cd /home" then "ls -l /home/" [02:50] neildugan it says: total 0 [02:50] ysiry_, does the "/home/" directory exist [02:51] yes [02:52] sbar [02:52] ysiry_, it appears the the users home directory has been wiped clear... how big a problem is that? [02:56] guiverc, what application do you use? [03:01] Hi I tried sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment and it download it but I cannot access it I am still using unity.... any advise? [03:06] log out and there should be an option to change desktop environments near the login password box [03:07] nshire, no is not I reboot and nothig let me try again then [03:12] Hi I tried sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment and it download it but I cannot access it I am still using unity.... any advise? [03:12] nothing working not sure why [03:31] the value of RESUME=UUID is not listed under blkid in my system. does that mean that the swapfile does not exist in my system? [03:31] speaking of endian, the following will report 1 for lil endian and 0 for big endian; echo -n I | hexdump -o | awk '{ print substr($2,6,1); exit}' [03:31] in case anyone else needed to know [03:32] x8 is a lil endian [03:32] x86... [03:33] * WoC goes back to his geek hideout... [04:07] something weird is happening, ran sudo reboot and it just closed my ssh session but did nothing else [04:13] hello I need a little help does anyone know how to install MATE or Cinnamon in Ubuntu 18.04? [04:14] step 1: install plasma [04:15] or https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-mate-desktop-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [04:44] hello I need a little help does anyone know how to install MATE or Cinnamon in Ubuntu 18.04? [04:46] paco_: liquidatlas just linked you howto [04:47] paco_: alternate, if you like testing mate you can consider installing hte ubuntu-mate .iso [05:15] I have a weird issue right now in 18.10 [05:15] wut [05:16] Everything looks stopped. 'looks' because it isn't. I can move the mouse cursor but can't click anything. I just ssh'd in with my phone and the system is ticking along beautifully. I have killed most of the stuff I'm running....but they're still in the screen [05:16] On * [05:20] Was playing terraria and it 'froze'. So I ssh'd in and killed terraria and steam using htop.... Both are still displaying, frozen, onscreen. Memory usage is fine, no swapping going on, no cpus maxed or anything. And htop shows those processes are not running any more. I don't get it. [05:25] What windows manager are you using? Gnome? [05:25] I'm using xfce, so likely xfwm [05:27] Humm, long shot, but try killing xfconfd [05:28] Nope [05:28] No dice [05:29] Does the keyboard now work? Doing ctrl-alt-f2 [05:30] Was thinking of some permutation of xfwm --replace, but I need to provide the display for that, and I'm not up on the command structure needed to do it [05:30] And that's a neg on the keyboard [05:32] I forget if REISUB is enabled by default. Doing alt+SysRq+R, does this give you your keyboard back? [05:34] Tbh I suspect the keyboard input is fine, but just not coming through on the display [05:35] So I won't see if it does work [05:35] Going to reisub anyway.. Brb [05:35] What would be a good way to uncompress a zlib compressed file ? === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [05:41] WoC, lots of possibilities. "unzip file.zip" would be one. [05:41] well... reisub worked. Decided to drop in to a wayland session === davor_ is now known as davor [05:42] I use i3 myself, it's simple to reload the wm by doing spec-shift-r [05:45] I managed to pull off a 'xfwm4 --display :0.0 --replace' but it did nothing. i suspect maybe the x server froze or something went screwy with the nouveau driver I'm using [05:46] been meaning to try out wayland, to see if it's any lighter. I switched to xfce before because nvidia drivers weren't happy with wayland and gnome was way too ram-happy [05:48] I know I'm technically using gnome on wayland right now... so I fully expect it to take a dive in the next few days, but who knows... [05:59] luckybunny: keep in mind 18.10 is non-lts and 'can' hold more bugs then on LTS [06:00] luckybunny: you also might wanna take a look in syslog/dmesg to see whats going on, we had few users reporting gnome segfault on 18.10 last days [06:07] anything other than teamviewer for remote admnistration? [06:08] SSH is the classic one. [06:08] oh yeah, ssh is great [06:08] vnc, google-remote. Tons of alternatives. === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer [06:12] [30791.532985] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: fifo: read fault at 0029e0e000 engine 00 [PGRAPH] client 0f [GPC0/PROP] reason 00 [PT_NOT_PRESENT] on channel 12 [021f6a6000 systemd-logind[1523]] [06:12] that looks like it could be it. [06:12] luckybunny: what does: ubuntu-drivers list suggest for your card? [06:13] Why are you using nouveau? With nVidia, I would go proprietary. [06:13] okikoki... I'll get right on that [06:13] I mean, the performance difference is an order of magnitude, at least. === neunon_ is now known as neunon [06:17] im using firefox and libreoffice both as snaps, but I cant open a downloaded file in firefox with libreoffice [06:17] some permissions issue im observing. [06:17] my GPT ubuntu installer only booted to the black GRUB2 screen. what could be the issue? [06:17] does anyone know a fix [06:19] black grub? Screenshot please. [06:19] eraserpencil_, who is the owner of the downloaded file? [06:19] it's a single user computer, so I am [06:20] eraserpencil_, no, the owner of the file, as defined by the attributes of the file. [06:21] eraserpencil_, do ls -l and what is the output for that file? [06:21] well, owner and group are my user [06:21] AndyChow888, only said GNU GRUB 2.xx ... minimal bash-like [...] and then there was a command line [06:21] this but different versions numbers https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiEhuSuzrzeAhUDLXwKHcXRCVAQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F993152%2Fgrub-command-prompt-instead-of-normal-boot-for-windows-10-after-deleting-ubuntu&psig=AOvVaw1rXxb1jpvOtOetjeEzr6QG&ust=1541485228111113 [06:22] err this https://i.stack.imgur.com/DEL0D.jpg [06:22] google-remote? [06:24] pi0, Chrome Remote Desktop, but yeah. Terrible solution, but depends on use-case. [06:25] i guess it would be a windows/linux solution [06:25] for vnc one must allow port forwarding on router, right? [06:26] !vnc | pi0 [06:26] pi0: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [06:27] http://termbin.com/vz6a if it helps [06:27] ubottu: but one does not need to enable port forwarding so the system can be reached ? [06:27] pi0: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === capella is now known as capella|away [06:28] For every solution, to access your computer from the internet, you need to enable port-forwarding. For any solution. [06:29] but not for teamviewer [06:29] For teamviewer also, I'm rather sure. [06:30] How else can you forward the packets to your internal network from the WAN? [06:33] AndyChow888: i think teamviewer bypasses firewall/forwarding [06:34] by having the server centralized [06:34] teamviewer is cloud-based? [06:35] hmm well all i know is that you do not ned to modify router settings [06:36] might be a libreoffice bug than a firefox bug [06:37] Seems team-viewer is cloud-based. Talk about security risks [06:38] my intention is i have a programming class and sometimes i need to show the gui [06:38] and i can be at a cafe [06:38] and want to share my screen [06:38] you don't need a gui for programming class [06:38] my ide [06:39] andriod studio [06:39] vim doesn't need a gui [06:39] that doesnt but i mean reasonable programming :) with debuggers [06:40] but really, doing work over the network on a remote desktop is a horrible experience [06:40] A remote desktop, sure. But remote admin with SSH is heaven. [06:41] If you just want people to see your screen, you could stream your screen, say with OBS. [06:41] stream screen with OBS [06:41] hmm is there a link [06:42] https://obsproject.com/ [06:44] would that show it to everyone [06:45] or do i have an option to only broadcast to 1 person [06:45] Everyone that had access. You choose where to stream, and to whom. [06:46] It's what gamers use to show their friends their game. [06:46] well you can always record locally aswell :P [06:46] You can add a webcam, etc, so it's rather cool. [06:46] used OBS to record some concert in the school theathre where i work locally [06:46] :P [06:47] and to stream some Quakeworld tourneys [06:48] gonna have to check out a tutorial link [06:48] The only downside, and it's an AMD problem, is that if your graphic card is AMD, you can't use accelerated encoding, only software encoding, unless you are on Windows. No such problem with Intel or nVidia. [06:49] AMD has basically only enabled it's hardware encode with Windows. Rather disappointing. [06:50] guys conversations fit in #ubuntu-discuss [06:52] does the person viewing the stream need to download large software [06:56] pi0: they need a web browser [06:57] Good morning lovely people, when I do apt-get update I get a few messages like this: [06:57] (appstreamcli:16492): GLib-CRITICAL **: 08:55:21.734: g_strchug: assertion 'string != NULL' failed [06:57] Could anyone give me an idea as to what this means? [06:57] nekowaiidesu: could you hastebin the full output of: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade please? [06:58] or i can use my private vm [06:58] cloud system [06:58] and piggy back to my laptop to use vnc [06:58] will be awful [06:58] user --> cloud linux --> my laptop [06:58] oh [06:58] forget that [06:58] lol [06:59] lotuspsychje, see: https://pastebin.com/4sig5Xx7 [07:00] nekowaiidesu: wow thats looks weird indeed [07:01] Did you flash your bios? [07:01] It doesn't seem to be affecting anything (that I can tell) - just not sure what appstreamcli:16492 is or whether i should be concerned [07:01] nekowaiidesu: wich ubuntu release/kernel is this? [07:02] a quick google says to 'sudo apt-get purge libappstream3' [07:02] libappstream3. Okay I'll check what that is first lol :) [07:03] ooh, maybe not. on my system doing so wants to remove ubuntu-software and gnome-software [07:03] Ben64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712 #18 indeed! nekowaiidesu [07:03] Launchpad bug 1579712 in appstream (Ubuntu Xenial) "Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU" [High,Fix released] [07:04] That your system wants to upgrade parted and secureboot-db are red-flags, to me. [07:04] Then, it can't find your sys efi. [07:05] I may have botched the upgrade from 16.04 -> 18.04 [07:07] seems like the nautilus search crashing issue in 18.04 has been finally fixed, nice work! [07:07] Have you done "apt dist-upgrade"? [07:07] !yay | Xard [07:07] Xard: Glad you made it! :-) [07:08] AndyChow888, thought I had. Ran it now and there is loads to download, also loads to autoremove. [07:09] nekowaiidesu, you might have to do it a few times. Not sure why, but apt and apt-get are weird like that sometimes. [07:09] I'll check if update still gives those warnings after dist-upgrade and autoremove [07:09] nekowaiidesu: it would help if you give us details of what your purpose is/was [07:10] Thanks. My net is not always stable, so I'll give apt benefit of doubt and blame the connection :P [07:10] nekowaiidesu: xenial release? upgrade to bionic? [07:10] nekowaiidesu: no this is deeper issue then just a network problem [07:11] Sorry lotuspsychje, yes. 4.15.0-36-generic Xubuntu, I did 16.04 xenial to 18.04 bionic some time ago [07:11] nekowaiidesu: ok you are now on 18.04.1 but not up to date yet, .38 is out [07:12] For example: 18.04.XX - is the XX dist-upgrade ? [07:13] nekowaiidesu: point releases come with regular system updates [07:13] nekowaiidesu: so just keeping your system up to date [07:14] nekowaiidesu: in your case, i would try to cleanup system, apt clean, bleachbit,do what apt asks to cleanup/purge [07:15] is apt-get update and upgrade sufficient to stay up to date? Or do I need to using dist-upgrade on a regular basis too? [07:15] nekowaiidesu: thats enough yes [07:16] nekowaiidesu: but my guess is, you have 16.04 left overs need to cleanup [07:16] Okay, thanks. I'll do some cleaning. [07:16] apt dist-upgrade is used when you need to change dependencies to new versions. Think python 2.7 vs python 3.X. [07:18] anyone here recompile their kernel? [07:18] Alright. Thanks for all the answers and help AndyChow888, lotuspsychje [07:19] I've compiled the kernel a few times. What's your question pi0?

Can you please advise me a way on how to backup my entire Ubuntu installatio, so I can go back if I do something terribly wrong ? [08:20] !backup [08:20] There are many ways to back your system up.

Would I just restore with a live cd then? [08:22] afx_: yeah live cd then dd it back [08:22] Also , I have encrypted my /home folder .Will this stay intact? [08:22] if the disk has multiple os you dont want backing up you could just backup the partition [08:22] yeah that's totally fine [08:23] EriC^^, yes it is dual boot system [08:23] lotuspsychje, what are .desktop files? [08:23] EriC^^, do you know of any software that takes incremental backups [08:24] afx_: not really, i've seen some rsync based stuff using hard links or something [08:24] Back in time advertises as such , but would like your experience too [08:25] afx_: try backintime if you want a gui program [08:25] can you completely restore to the state you took the backup ? [08:26] afx_: you should be able to, yes [08:26] ducasse [08:26] have you used this software ? [08:26] afx_: it won't back up the bootloader, though [08:26] hmm [08:26] i've used it, yes [08:27] so you have to reinstall grub?> [08:27] yes [08:27] afx_: are you using uefi? [08:28] nevermind [08:28] EriC^^, there is a folder /sys/firmware/efi/ so I guess I am using UEFI [08:28] Don't know other way to find out [08:29] Why are you asking ?> [08:29] yeah you are then [08:29] hello, why does grub2 update so "often" on ubuntu? The version ov 2.02 doesn't change during update. [08:29] of* [08:29] i was going to suggest copying the mbr if you hadn't, easy 512byte backup/restoration [08:30] it's easy enough to reinstall grub though from a live cd === adikwok1 is now known as adikwok [08:31] Let's hope restore won't be necessary :) [08:31] Thank you both !! [08:31] sure np :) [08:56] i have a external HDD so the permition is read-only and I cant copy my files so how can I change to rw ?

[09:01] sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb2 I did this but nothing happend [09:01] Hi, I’ve been slowly working through issues getting 18.04 installed on a ADLink MXE-1300 series Atom based system. I’ve finally gotten past issues with the grfx module and now hitting this bug - anyone know/seen a way to get past: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1771348 [09:01] Launchpad bug 1771348 in subiquity "Timed out and Dependency failed messages shows in early install initialization while installing Ubuntu 18.04 using subiquity" [Low,Triaged] [09:02] barc0d4: there's a difference between being mounted read-only, and permissions being read only [09:02] barc0d4: paste mount's output, we'll know if it's mounted ro, what fs it is, and what not [09:02] EriC^^: so whats the solution ? [09:02] i'm literally trying to get there except i need some info first [09:03] EriC^^: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/y-cw9fdr-2GupFEyAetopA [09:03] ok so the fs type is hfsplus, meaning it's a mac fs that's why it's mounted read only [09:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus [09:04] EriC^^: yes I use this disk as my backup but I cant use it in linux [09:05] seems you need to disable journaling or something then you can mount it read write [09:05] but it says you have to disable it in os x O.o [09:06] see here instead https://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os [09:08] barc0d4: basically install "hfsprogs" if it isnt already [09:08] sudo apt-get install hfsprogs [09:08] then type "sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /run/media/arsalan/Files" [09:08] EriC^^: my system break [09:08] what do you mean? [09:09] apt isnt working? [09:09] EriC^^: i used this sudo chown -R 501:username /home/username /media/username [09:09] my god [09:09] barc0d4: run "sudo chown $USER: -R $HOME" [09:11] EriC^^: it's back [09:11] EriC^^: can i change read only in linux ? [09:11] yeah [09:11] how ? [09:12] read above before you said my system break [09:12] the 2 commands apt-get and mount one [09:12] my texlive install has got into a terrible state. How can I fix it? See https://bpaste.net/show/14b8135e4683 [09:14] lesshaste: apt-cache policy texlive-fonts-extra-doc [09:15] geirha, let me try that. Thanks [09:15] lesshaste: that is, could you pastebin the output of that [09:15] geirha, I just removed the repo for the updated texlive. Let me first see if I can just go back to the standard version [09:16] lesshaste: use ppa-purge for that [09:18] re-enable the ppa, run apt-get update, install ppa-purge package, remove the ppa using the ppa-purge command. It will "downgrade" the packages to the official package versions before disabling the ppa [09:23] EriC^^: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /run/media/arsalan/Files this is not working :( [09:24] why not [09:25] EriCdownt know [09:25] dont know [09:25] what happens after you type it [09:26] nothing just i put it in terminal and then i checked it but all file already in read only mode [09:28] barc0d4: try to unmount it using "sudo umount /run/media/arsalan/Files" [09:28] let me know when you've run that [09:29] EriC^^: okey umounted [09:30] barc0d4: type "sudo rmdir /media/arsalan" [09:31] EriC^^: but you wanna remove it ? [09:31] yeah cause earlier you mentioned the chown command, it will recreate it with proper permissions and user acl [09:32] be sure to use rmdir not rm (it'll only remove an empty dir) [09:33] EriC^^: okey then I have to use /run/media/arsalan ? [09:33] hmm well you said you ran chown /media/username [09:33] are you using ubuntu? [09:33] EriC^^: no im on fedora [09:33] oh [09:33] nevermind then [09:33] so so [09:34] why are you asking in #ubuntu if you're not using ubuntu? [09:34] barc0d4: try "sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdb2 /mnt" [09:34] geirha: i think ubuntu has better comunity than fedora [09:35] it's a different os though, like maybe fedora doesnt use acl's on media dir and stuff [09:35] something to keep in mind for the future, anyways try the mount command above [09:41] EriC^^: thanks dude for everythinks :) [09:41] barc0d4: no problem :) [09:56] anyone know if hard links or symbolic links have to obey permissions? if i link a file to a file that needs root access, does the user have to also have privilege to access the simlink or will it let them get access and treat the symlink and what it is linked to as if it were in their home directory(assuming i place the link in their home directory, does it bypass permissions of the target?) [09:59] PsyStemUpdate: short answer; yes [10:00] TJ are you answering the first or last question? [10:01] both questions contradict so a yes or no doesnt tell me which one you are answering [10:01] PsyStemUpdate: It'd be a pretty big security vulnerability if links could bypass permissions checks [10:01] ah ok. thanks [10:01] PsyStemUpdate: OK, Yes and No :) [10:03] atm im trying to see if anyone has used a mounting or hard linking solution to the ssh git server problem..usually admin creates one git user, but multiple people work through that user each with different authorized keys. i was wondering if instead we can create all the users in linux and jail them to one folder which has the repo mounted to all their directories. (many users, one shared target) [10:06] the idea is to let every user have access to the same repo but not copy the repo into each of their home directories (because then their would be a master repo for each user when we only need one master repo that all users are pushing and pulling from even though on different accounts. [10:07] nvm i found an answer, i think im making it too complicated...create a git group, add all users to it, then have a folder where the repo resides with that group able to access it. [10:10]
