[00:00] nvidia is just not ready for wayland [00:00] I just don't want to buy a new Laptop and end up with the decision between not using its full potential (IGP only) or being forced to use Windows... [00:01] latest intel igp can play youtube/dvd fine, so what power do you need more? [00:02] OerHeks: I want to use it sometimes for gaming at lans or when i'm visitting my parents for longer time [00:06] steam and GPU passthrough is also possible [00:06] that means your nvidia can be used dedicated [00:07] OerHeks: GPU passthrough = running Linux in a VM on Windows? [00:09] that is also possible, yes [00:10] OerHeks: what did you originally mean with GPU passthrough? i've only heard it in the context of using the GPU within a virtual machine [00:11] what is the proper way to format a usb thumb drive using dd (or cli?).. using dd is taking an hour for a 16gb drive (bs=4k).. Is there not a better/faster way? lol [00:12] cli is just using dd isnt it? [00:13] Epx998: Yea, just curious if there is a faster way is all. Raise the bs? Only format the first 5mb and that's good enough? etc. [00:13] try fdisk and see if mkfs is any quicker [00:16] Epx998: Yea, not a bad idea.. thx [00:24] When I turn off my second monitor, the windows on that second monitor don't move to the first monitor. How do I make it so that happens? [00:26] leonardus, you disable the screen also in ubuntu.. turning off just the monitor wont work [00:27] How do I make it so that just turning off the monitor moves all the windows that were previously on that monitor are moved to a monitor that's turned on [00:31] can anyone help me understand tables in iptables [00:31] ? [00:46] can i create a non default keyring? i want a temp keyring that does not interfere with the default one [00:48] one of my systemd proceses is inactive saying Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit) [00:49] stan_man_can: which proccess? [00:49] sruli: a new one i made for radarr [00:50] stan_man_can: try to log the outpt and see if you can find there [00:52] sruli: figured it out ... was using the wrong user in the service file [00:52] sorry for the bother [00:52] no worries === TJ_Remix is now known as TJ- [01:09] I'm on 16.04 LTS. A few days ago I did a Software Update. Somewhere in that process Ubuntu prompted me to let some apps log into my gmail account, I think maybe Empathy was one of them. I added my password, now I keep getting google Critical Security emails every day or two about it. Where do I go to control this? [01:09] Hm, well I can see where to control it in Empathy. [01:10] The text of the email itself will give some needed info, here. [01:10] puff: depending on the message in your emails i believe in your google account you need to set to allow less secure applications to connect [01:10] That, yeah. [01:11] sruli: aha. [01:11] "Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access." [01:12] puff: thought so, you need to find where in your google accoount you can set it to allow less secure applications to connect or disable your google account in those apps [01:13] puff: My recommendation, if you're not using it already, is to enable MFA for your Google account, then generate an application password specifically for Empathy to use. [01:13] hyperlumic: didnt know you can do application specific pass.. will look into it for my pidgin [01:14] hyperlumic: thanks. [01:14] sruli: Thanks. [01:14] Security is what I do. Glad to help. [01:14] Right now I'm dealing with a probably unrelated problem, on my moto x4 it keeps saying "Google has stopped" and "Gmail is stopping", like every couple of seconds. This isn't likely to be related, is it? [01:14] This started about 4 hours ago. [01:15] I doubt it. [01:15] Thanks. [01:15] puff: i dont think so, but close empathy for a few minutes and see if the issue persist [01:15] hyperlumic: Programming is what I do, mostly java and python, though I do a smattering of other languages (and a fair bit of perl, but that was back in the day). [01:16] I was a programmer for about 18 months. C, C++, x86 assembly. Rapidly grew to hate it. [01:16] sruli: I didn't have empathy running, is it running in the background or something? [01:16] Moved into the datacenter, then almost immediately into infosec. [01:16] hyperlumic: I keep thinking of getting into C++ for some stuff. Did C way, way back. [01:16] if we are talking about what we do, i am an expert in wasting my time [01:16] Now, I'm a principal security consultant. [01:16] hyperlumic: All my friends who do C++ seem to alternate between "You really should try C++, it's not that bad" and "DIE DIE DIE C++" [01:17] My issue with C and C++ is how easy it is to write atriciously exploitable code. [01:17] Atrociously* [01:18] Yeah. [01:18] sruli: Missed your PM. [01:19] There seems to be this paradox, nobody can manage to do a revised/cleaned up C++ to make it saner and safer, without *also* adding in huge issues like memory management or Go's issues, etc. This is either a matter of human inability to resist temptation, or some fundamental design challenge that can't be (or has yet to be) overcome. [01:22] Yeesh, moto chat support is passing me to their level 2 support, who will call me "within a day". [01:25] I have to ask... is there any alternative to Evolution for accessing corporate Outlook 365-hosted email? Corporate IT at work requires the use of MFA, and disabled the use of app passwords today. And the version of Evolution available for 16.04/xenial does not support this. I therefore lost my email and calendar notifications, which is very annoying. Don't know what to do [01:27] Not sure I know of a solution. [01:29] I looked into backporting a newer evolution (from 18.04/bionic), but there are too many newer dependencies [01:32] I don't see yakkety, zesty, or artful on packages.ubuntu.com... where can I find information on the versions that were included in these releases and all of their dependencies? [01:34] Some_Person: maybe ubuntuupdates.org [01:34] looking for the earliest release with evolution 2.27.91 or newer [01:34] Some_Person, since they're all end of life the contents files are removed, so you'd have trouble downloading them anyway [01:34] Some_Person: All End-Of-Life Ubuntu versions get archived to old-releases.ubuntu.org [01:35] genii: Uhh... that redirects to a scammy site [01:35] Some_Person, can't imagine mixing them into a xenial system would be less trouble than upgrading xenial to bionic... [01:35] Some_Person: Have you considered an upgrade to bionic? [01:35] Some_Person: Sorry, .com and not .org [01:35] rfm: I wouldn't mix the packages... looking for something I can hopefully compile that'll run on it [01:35] hyperlumic: I'm a developer and the entire team is on xenial [01:36] Some_Person: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [01:36] ..is where they all go [01:37] genii: Where are the packages in this structure? [01:38] Some_Person: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [01:42] Ugh, it's no use. Looks like bionic is the first version that had a new enough evolution :( [01:42] for some reason my audio keeps going out, when I restart it works again. Anyone have any idea's ? [01:43] Is there a[current] image viewer that will view an image, and reload it if the file changes on disk? I dont really want to script something [01:45] Hm, ofund a builtin - eom [01:46] lots of them, sartan https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/167808/image-viewer-with-auto-reload-on-file-change [01:46] I guess I'll try it in a VM, and if it works, suggest that after this damn release is in the bag we all upgrade [01:46] (this would be a horrible time to do it) [01:47] until then... well, I guess we'll probably be missing a lot of meetings and emails [02:09] is there a easy to view tool for managing the services enabled/disabled with systemd yet? I know there is a webmin plugin to do it. but looking for something native. Something similar to YaST's Services addon. [02:10] webmin is cancer. [02:10] systemctl list-unit-files? [02:12] I have a headless web server running and I want to run an x server on it at startup. What is the best way to do this? [02:12] I hope that web server isn't doing anything important? [02:17] sabrehagen, if its a headless server, what would the X server be doiing? (I think it would help to know a little more about what you're trying to accomplish.) [02:17] it will be running a graphical application over X11 forwarding [02:18] over ssh [02:18] Is that web server internet-facing? [02:18] sabrehagen, in that case you run the X server on the local machine, and the X client (graphical application) on the remote headless machine [02:19] hyperlumic: yes [02:20] rfm: my goal is the other way around: xserver and application running on the host, viewed remotely by ssh [02:21] sabrehagen, that's not the way X works, what's sent over the ssh tunnel is the X11 protocol stream, so the server has to be on one side and the client (app) on the other... [02:22] Ahh, I see. I misunderstood. [02:24] sabrehagen: If that server is internet-facing, I would STRONGLY advise against running or installing anything on it not required to serve web content. [02:27] rfm: Then the X server would be my local machine which is behind a NAT. [02:28] You're still installing additional code on the server in the form of applications that can be exploited or misused. Secondly, NAT is not a security layer. [02:29] sabrehagen, not a problem since the ssh tunnel end is on your system, so the connections to your local X server will be coming from the localhost. [02:30] X forwarding is a bizarre creature. Neat, though. [02:32] i am struggling with ssh and custom config / key file. "ssh -F /path/to/config" the config file has a path to IdentityFile but ssh ignores that config file and goes for the .ssh/config file and uses the key from there, the only way to force it is to put "IdentitiesOnly yes" in the config file but then it does not check the keyring for passphrase and asks each time, how do i get around this? [02:32] !info xvfb [02:32] xvfb (source: xorg-server): Virtual Framebuffer 'fake' X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4.2 (bionic), package size 815 kB, installed size 2390 kB [02:32] rfm: what if i were to switch around and run the X server locally, and the application on the remote machine. (this is my desired setup as I have recently learned) [02:33] sabrehagen, yes, yes, the X server should run on the machine that has a display, the one you're sitting in front of. The application (X client) runs where the computation needs to be done (where the data is, etc.) [02:34] rfm: cool, I understand now :) [02:34] as for the technical specifics, what's the best way to make my local machine available to the computation machine? [02:36] sabrehagen, well, if you mean "available to be a X display" ssh's X11 tunneling is about it. [03:00] hi, is simple scan supposed to be this slow when scanning? I've tested my printer (which contains a scanner) both wireless and plugged with USB, and when I run a scan wireless, it's incredibly slow and delayed [03:01] hi dpi scans surely can take more time, wireless [03:02] OerHeks: i do not intend to compare os here, just wanna point out that the scanner works flawlessly on windows,is it simply different here on ubuntu? [03:04] I mean, why is it delayed? not trying to say its bad, but it simply stops for a few seconds and then it continues, repeating the same thing until it scans the document [03:05] ubuntu uses cups to transfer, that might be the culprit; a simple scan to file on disc would go faster [03:06] OerHeks: although i could look this up on google, would you kindly tell me what is cups? is it a "techique" for scanning? sorry im dumb [03:07] thanks anyways [03:07] cups is the printer server [03:07] !cups [03:07] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [03:08] by the way OerHeks is there a command to view all ubottu's commands? [03:08] like "!help"? [03:08] yes https://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [03:09] you can play with it in DM too [03:09] very well, thanks a lot OerHeks i think my problem is solved, i think i can handle the wireless speed of CUPS [03:10] have fun! [03:12] im pretty excited about ubuntu being my new main OS, i was doubting it because i thought it couldnt recognize my printer (which i need), but now that it's all set up i feel confident [03:13] good bye! [03:34] is uninstalling firefox a bad idea? i mean is it going to break my ubuntu? [04:04] xdruppi, no, you can, remove the .cache/mozilla and .mozilla folder too [04:04] thanks OerHeks [04:24] mefistofeles: did you solve the cuda?

[05:42] i'd like to forward incoming traffic from eth0 into tun0, any recommendations on the best approach to take? i've tried iptables and ufw with no luck this far. the ubuntu 18 system just sends ICMP redirects to the main LAN's gateway 192.168.1.1 [05:43] also i have this set in sysctl.conf so i dont know why it's sending ICMP redirects, net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0 [05:48] unless one of the more specific options overrides the "all" option, https://puu.sh/Cc7l8/0061ca837e.png [05:57] my commands for iptables are currently, https://puu.sh/Cc7yt/5f9f48fc8d.png [06:00] opps accidently flipped ens160 and tun0 around, https://puu.sh/Cc7Cf/8497f041d5.png [06:04] xibalba: check the #netfilter or ##networking channel [06:04] roger that [06:34] hi [06:34] is there something to change gnome window manager colors?

[07:56] hi, i'm trying to use the nvidia card on an old inspiron 7559 laptop with integrated graphics+dedicated card, on ubuntu 18.04. tried to install nvidia proprietary drivers, now startx fails. xorg.log reports the error that "module nouveau doesn't exit" - well of course i removed it. I could not find any reference to the string "nouveau" in /etc/X11 or /usr/share/X11 (grep -rn nouveau). Does anyone know [07:56] why xorg still try to load nouveau drivers? how to make it stop?

[08:11] i dont want a whole new theme, i just want to change couple of colors [08:11] is there a theme editor? [08:13] neurre: afaik you just use a text editor, they're simply css or something [08:14] where do I find the file? [08:15] i'm not sure where the gnome themes live, gtk themes should be under /usr/share/themes, i think [08:17] neurre: there is a #gnome channel, i would ask them for help about theme editing [08:17] how do i know which window manager I am using? [08:18] gnome uses mutter, i think [08:24] Hi everybody, I have a problem with 14.04 (I know it's "old" but it's on a production system and I can't update it right now). When we ask for a shutdown it starts the shutdown process, but at some point we read messagese like: "* Starting internet superserver inetd" and it doesn't shutdown [08:25] Does anybody have a clue about why the server starts some services during a shutdown? What signal/service/broken software can cause a startup during a shutdown? [08:25] It doesn't happen always, but even few times it means that somebody has to go there and reboot manually... [08:30] is it safe to delete syslog file? 17gb [08:31] yelowfish: unless you need to save the logged data [08:31] yelowfish: yes, but I'd look into why it hasn't been logrotated [08:31] yellowfish: if it's that big there should be something wrong or sending a lot of log messages on your systems [08:31] geirha: yeah.. or it's not logrotated properly [08:33] can i look into it sometime and delete it now? i need space to make this xenial work [08:34] looks like gnome-color-chooser interacts badly with sshfs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bGBXdykFpq/ [08:34] :( === neurrrre is now known as neurrre === neurrre is now known as neurre [08:35] is there a way to kill process which is in uninterruptible state?

[08:37] can i delete kern.log ? its 18gb [08:37] so it's the kernel that's spamming log messages? [08:38] they are 2 : kern.log and syslog [08:39] mh, those log messages are probably written to both those files [08:39] im not sure if its the kernel. [08:39] yellowfish: the kern.log messages are contained in the syslog [08:39] i see [08:39] that explains they have the same size [08:39] note that deleting it will not free up the space. You also have to reload the syslog service so that syslog closes the deleted file [08:40] hmm.what is the proper sequence in deletion? [08:41] is my disk usage analyzer broken? coz it doesnt show the big files [08:41] another option is to just truncate it. That avoids the need to reload the service [08:41] I'm getting the following message - "Stackscript: Ubuntu 18.04 LAMP successfully installed :D" - but can't find the .html file in the usual place (var/www) - any ideas?

This script stays alive even after the mount and re-mount in case of "unmount" [10:04] it's launched by KDE at logon, so I suppose it to be closed by KDE at logout === Scotty_Trees is now known as Scotty_Stumps [10:10] GortiZ: i take a look === mkv is now known as m4v [10:12] GortiZ: visibly your 'script' is lunched at startup, not a really good idea [10:13] Nov 30 17:29:27 TGIV-DataProcessing kernel: [ 147.891949] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation. [10:14] you have differents error. somes from the network [10:14] somes from cifs [10:14] but it looklike your server is starting xorg [10:14] just to know do you have any access to a screen connected to the server ? === Scotty_Stumps is now known as Scotty_Trees [10:37] buongiorno [10:40] Hello friends, i got my ubuntu now running better than ever! [10:41] one last issue that i thought i could live with, but since i got all fixed so good lets try to fix the last one [10:42] I got presonus audiobox external soundcard and it works otherwise perfectly, exept when i start the system i need to remove the usb and put it back in order for the computer to recognize the card [10:42] any idea how to fix this issue? [10:43] Hello [10:43] can anyone here give me an understanding LXC/LXD in a running environment vs say ESXi? [10:44] I run into some hardware issues with ESXi, specifically network cards etc. And was wondering if LXC/LXD does the same, if not better for VMs [10:44] hello, I have installed Tilix, and something is blocking ctrl-alt-D shortcut in ubuntu 18.04 [10:45] i also tried to reset all shortcuts in gnome settings [10:48] How do I synchronize the system time to ntp with timedatectl? [10:48] I can only find old instructions for ntpd online. [10:50] hey, what is the official way to connect to an IPSEC/IKE Network with Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop? [10:53] <[bma]> Hi - quick question - we have had a java update bork one of our legacy apps - unfortunately this was in a minor way and wasn't noticed until the snapshot was removed. Anyhow, we wanted to just downgrade the java version back down, but Ubuntu has completely removed the version we had from the repo. Any ideas why/how I can go about getting this package? it's openjdk-8-jre version 8u181-b13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 [10:55] bma: Is this what you want? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/8u181-b13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 [10:55] tchakatak: sorry... the connection is really bad. [10:55] sorry... the connection is really bad [10:56] tchakatak: yes I have a screen and a guy at the server, that's why I can tell you that the server shows systems "starting" at shutdown [10:56] bma: You can get the tarballs there [10:57] tchakatak: https://www.picpasteplus.com/view.php?i=3pvpg4bpcpb404w4apupg4dj.jpg [10:57] that's what he sees at shutdown/reboot [10:58] <[bma]> cyborg101: thanks - guess it's going to be a source build :? [10:58] <[bma]> :/* [10:59] bma: yeah I think you're gonna need to build it. There may be some place to get a deb binary, but I'm not sure. [11:04] Hello, how do I set hostname on Ubuntu server 18.04.1 ? I tried hostnamectl set-hostname but doesn't persist on reboot. [11:06] Chaser: modify /etc/hostname too (and for static IP, lock it to IP and fqdn in /etc/hosts as well) [11:06] <[bma]> Cheers cyborg101 - I'm so glad my job involves maintaining these legacy apps! [11:06] Chaser: If /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg exists, change 'preserve_hostname' to true [11:07] Chaser: That will preserve hostname after reboot [11:07] ah thank you. Let me try those [11:08] hello everyone. i'm thinking of buying an intel core2 laptop for the purpose of learning linux with the ubuntu distro. would a core2 be good enough as in decent/quick for even the display environment. If this isnt the case. What would be a good one that is less then $500 [11:08] bma: Cheers mate :D [11:09] cyborg101: changing perserve_hostname to true did it ! thanks [11:09] Chaser: Awesome :) [11:10] <[bma]> @Finalight You may as well get a lower-end modern laptop rather than spending money on 10 year old hardware. [11:11] <[bma]> (he says whilst fighting 10 year old software) [11:16] Chaser: so you did it the wrong way. cloud-init shouldn't be used for persistent configuration of the system. You should really edit proper config files. [11:17] [bma]; well, that was my question === Class7_ is now known as Class7 === GortiZ1 is now known as GortiZ === capella is now known as capella|away [11:41] so I am trying out the latest ubuntu version from the live usb. I would like to install xorriso but apt-get complains saying [11:41] E: Package 'xorriso' has no installation candidate [11:41] how can I rectify that_ [11:45] omnomnomnom, xorriso is in component universe, are you sure it is enables? [11:45] enzotib: i do not know, I am running the live usb [11:45] omnomnomnom: the installation one for 18.1 [11:45] err enzotib [11:45] do you know how I could check that? [11:46] omnomnomnom, grep universe /etc/apt/sources.list [11:47] enzotib: nothing shows up [11:47] enzotib: do you know how to enable universe_ [11:51] omnomnomnom, you should edit the file, with admin permissions [11:51] omnomnomnom, first make a backup copy, in case something should go wrong: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/source.list.bak [11:52] omnomnomnom, next edit the file: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [11:53] omnomnomnom, add the word "universe" at the end of lines starting with "deb" [11:54] thank you [11:55] omnomnomnom, after saved the file, you should run: sudo apt-get update === daniel is now known as Guest92942 === tsglove2 is now known as tsglove [12:26] I got a freezing of the machine, then a black screen and then an xmessage saying "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation." Then logged out and I am back in. How do I fix this? [12:28] lspci doesn't show my nvidia quadro p1000, any thoughts? [12:28] and I take that back, it just doesn't have "VGA" in the description. [12:29] hm, so if I have a pakcage like this --> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libzip <-- and it has a proposed version of 1.5.1, is it possible to add this version to apt-get without having to just download the .deb file and install it with dpkg ? so it just replaces the old version? [12:29] this laptop is strange. It's new and things aren't showing the way I'm used to on old hardware, LOL === Richard is now known as Guest17989 [13:03] Hey, how do I increase my top panel size in gnome 3, 18.04? [13:08] you can't afaik [13:08] only the side one [13:08] or wait [13:08] if you put the top bar down it will increase [13:08] other than that i don't think it possible when it's up === Butterfly^ is now known as Guest77235 === luna_not_bull- is now known as luna [13:50] Is this the best place to get some help with 18.04 and boot issues related to grub2 with EFI and /boot being XFS? [13:54] Is there a way to cap CPU utilization over a certain percentage for all or a specific app ie. "my cpu should not go over 70% overall or by a specific app utilization"? [13:55] My postgres is taking cpu alot [13:57] Intelo: not so sure about setting percentage cpu usage, but can you use "nice" so that if other processes need the cpu then postgress allows them to use it? [13:58] !info cpulimit [13:58] cpulimit (source: cpulimit): tool for limiting the CPU usage of a process. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5-1 (bionic), package size 16 kB, installed size 42 kB [13:58] Intelo: ^ [13:58] hm [14:00] hateball, what about nice/renice? [14:01] Intelo: you can use that too, sure [14:02] Anyone here knows about grub2 problems in 18.04 with XFS? [14:02] I'd probably go with nice; You can set niceness inside the systemd unit file. And it allows postgres to use 100% CPU if no other service currently *needs* the cpu [14:03] * eelstrebor has some kind of memory issue - free memory gets less and less even though no additional programs are being executed [14:03] It seems to me like grub2 on 18.04 lacks xfs support in the grubx64.efi binary, whereas in 16.04 it does have it. [14:03] Note that nicing your db server is likely to also decrease performance of everything downstream of your DB [14:03] hateball, I have a gui task manager built in kubuntu. I can change priority there but am unable to precisely cap at 70% [14:07] cap that ass at 100 percent :P [14:07] :O === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [14:11] I got a freezing of the machine, then a black screen and then an xmessage saying "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation." Then logged out and I am back in. How do I fix this? === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [14:14] * eelstrebor found a solution to memory problem - clearing the memory cache gets the job done - time to create another cron job [14:14] eelstrebor: that is not a bug, and clearing those caches is not a good idea. [14:15] cache memory is treated as "free" if an actual program wants to allocate memory and is released [14:15] The only thing you're doing by dropping that cache memory is make programs run slower, because they'll have to do I/O that they otherwise wouldn't have needed to do [14:17] RaRaRaRa [14:17] Rawww [14:18] its like in this room people have the God complex [14:19] Lu_tze arrived and we had the sonofRa [14:19] what next God will appear ? [14:20] Kazdax: God became man so that man could become God [14:20] lu_tze: can we help you with something? [14:21] at the moment no, I was just responding [14:21] Kazdax: can we help you with something? [14:22] This is a support channel. If you want idle chat, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:22] eelstrebor: for example, in this output of the free command: https://gist.github.com/sonOfRa/76eb0f8b333a26217c7217c94ae34a17, I have 15G memory in total. 8.1G is used by programs, and 4.1G is currently "cached". This is files that were read that are still in memory, and should a program access them again, they will be read from memory, rather than from disk. If the "used" column approaches my 15GB mark, and there's still things under "cache", the [14:22] things under cache will be dropped, and memory will be allocated from there. [14:24] * eelstrebor says so many admin commands, so little human memory === capella|away is now known as capella [14:50] Good morning, how can I configure a linux service to use LDAP credentials to connect to a database (Equivalent of windows service running with domain credentials and using SSPI) [14:55] Chryzo: depends on the service and the database [14:56] let's say it's PostgreSQL [14:56] your PostgreSQL client would authenticate to the database no differently [14:56] custom service developped with .net core and connecting to PSQL :) [14:56] it's the database config that needs to be changed to enable LDAP auth [14:57] Let's say I enable LDAP auth. [14:58] if you want something equivalent to SSPI, you'd use Kerberos and srvtab and so forth [14:59] which may also be possible with PostgreSQL, but I'm not sure [14:59] k, thanks, that is what i wanted to know. I'll look into those technologies [14:59] I'm not sure it's worthwhile. [14:59] PostgreSQL + TLS + auth via LDAPS would be pretty solid [15:00] and either way you'd be saving a credential on the client side in the clear [15:00] but you do you :) [15:03] Hi folks [15:10] XenophonF, that is the objective, removing credential on the client side for applications [15:10] I have searched google, but can't quite find the right answer. I have a USB thumb drive that takes forever to transfer an average size file (700 MB). With Windows, it takes maybe 1 to 2 minutes at the very most. With the same my Ubuntu machine can take up to 30 minutes to transfer the same file. The drive is formated in NTFS, but I cannot figure out why it would take so long between the two environments. Anyone [15:10] have some suggestions on where to look? Google finds all the buffering questions which I'm certain is not the case here. [15:13]
