[00:00] <kinghat> how do you get grub to show at boot?
[00:02] <kinghat> would it not have been installed?
[00:04] <kinghat> I don't get grub when I boot up.
[00:08] <kinghat> left shift or ESC doesn't work.
[00:09] <kinghat> hmm not installed. is grub not being installed by default normal?
[00:11] <teward> kinghat: no it's not normal.
[00:12] <teward> and had there been a grub installation failure it probably would've said so in the logs as a failure to install
[00:13] <kinghat> so is my system borked?
[00:51] <kinghat> looks like grub is installed but i just cant get it to show up for some reason: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/046574cb/
[00:51] <kinghat> is it the ESC or left SHIFT or something like that?
[00:57] <kinghat> lol that's the grub i get. no keys do anything https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cGioOJe6/irccloudcapture2268390190753378140.jpg
[02:50] <Ouyes> hey guys,  the memory usage is going higher and higher on my server, both the ram and swap, is this indicating a memory leakage?
[03:22] <qman__> not directly, no
[03:23] <qman__> it means you're using more resources, which could have any number of causes including normal activity
[03:54] <kinghat> ikonia: you still around?
[04:04] <OerHeks> odd, first you stated grub was borked visable on your system..
[04:07] <kinghat> ya
[04:08] <kinghat> not sure why. maybe it was the monitor? i started a live usb to see if i could run boot-repair, and did, but that didnt fix it. so i figured i could use the live usb to alter the sudoers file, which worked.
[07:12] <MJCD> heya
[07:12] <MJCD> I have never set up or run a mailserver before
[07:12] <MJCD> but want to do so for a new site, hosted locally
[07:12] <MJCD> what's the easiest method of doing so :)
[07:39] <ducasse> MJCD: postfix, plus dovecot for pop3/imap. see the ubuntu wiki, there's an article on setting up postfix.
[07:40] <MJCD> ducasse, someone else just recommended in terms of management postfixadmin
[07:40] <ducasse> MJCD: i've not used that myself, so can't comment - sorry
[07:41] <ducasse> MJCD: you should do a bit of research and reading, running a mailserver is not for the faint of heart or newbies (not saying you're either)
[07:42] <MJCD> I'm a newb at mail servers
[07:42] <MJCD> but network admin and programmer of 20 years
[07:42] <MJCD> I
[07:42] <MJCD> should be able to figure something basic out haha
[07:42] <MJCD> I mainly want a gui
[07:42] <MJCD> because i'm a gui-guy
[07:43] <ducasse> i can't help with that, i just use ssh and vim :)
[07:44] <MJCD> haha grooooosss ;p
[07:44] <MJCD> I want a puppet gui too
[07:45] <MJCD> manage network SOE graphically
[07:46] <ducasse> there's also #postfix if you run into problems
[08:17] <MJCD> appreciated
[08:17] <MJCD> thanks for your time

[12:15] <kstenerud> yes
[12:15] <ahasenack> maybe apparmor is denying something
[12:15] <kstenerud> hmm strange... I've made the container privileged
[13:26] <ahasenack> kstenerud: rbasak hi, what's up with https://code.launchpad.net/~kstenerud/ubuntu/+source/at/+git/at/+merge/358655, does it need sponsoring or is it stuck somewhere?
[13:36] <ahasenack> rbasak: what should the merge state of this mp be: https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/ubuntu/+source/symfony/+git/symfony/+merge/359137
[13:36] <ahasenack> rbasak: because since then, it became a sync
[13:37] <ahasenack> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/symfony/+publishinghistory
[13:37] <ahasenack> so it was merged at that time, but now?
[13:41] <ahasenack> kstenerud: rbasak: are you guys around?
[13:42] <kstenerud> yes
[13:43] <kstenerud> I think it just needs sponsoring

[15:02] <cpaelzer> rbasak: ahasenack: kstenerud: ^^ ?
[15:02] <cpaelzer> I didn#t think so
[15:07] <kstenerud> not sure a ctually
[15:07] <cpaelzer> there is none (as I expected) according to my checks

[16:21] <kinghat> so after i mistakenly removed my only user from the sudoers group, i was able to statically set it via visudo by sshing into the machine by using a live boot in root mode. now that i have added the user back to the sudo group can i remove the user from the static line in sudoers?
[16:22] <nacc> kinghat: now that you know how to fix it, test it and try? seems like that should be fine, presuming you did it right :)
[16:24] <kinghat> also, there is a group in the sudoers file called admin. it has less privs than the sudo group so a user doesnt need to be a part of admin if they are already part of sudo?
[16:25] <mason> teward: The only problem with Perl is that not enough people understand its pure, unadulterated goodness!
[16:25] <nacc> kinghat: did you read the corresponding comment?
[16:25] <teward> mason: no, actually, it's because perl works with everything and things'll explode if you aren't careful in version bumps
[16:25] <teward> so it's not autoreleased from proposed :P
[16:26] <mason> teward: Is that a Perl issue or a CPAN issue?
[16:26] <teward> neither.
[16:26] <kinghat> nacc: your comment? or is there a comment you are referring to in the sudoers file?
[16:26] <nacc> kinghat: in the sudoers file by default
[16:26] <teward> mason: too complex to explain here, at least not with the time I have.
[16:27] <mason> teward: Alright. My personal experience is that base Perl is wonderfully backwards-compatible, and that it's when you start pulling in random other bits that the whole tower becomes unstable.
[16:27] <kinghat> "# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges"?
[16:28] <nacc> kinghat: right
[16:31] <kinghat> may?
[16:31] <kinghat> "# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command" for sudo.
[16:33] <Ussat> does Ubuntu server have anything like :  authconfig --enablekrb5 --enablekrb5kdcdns --enablekrb5realmdns --update . this configures kerberos to use t=whats already in krb5.cong without a gui

[16:52] <rbasak> OK
[17:11] <sarnold> no doubt if you write your perl like it's 5.004 then things will just work for decades

[17:15] <teward> and it explodes everything xD
[17:16] <mason> sarnold: Don't give away my secret.
[17:34] <sarnold> teward: but when that ssl 0.9 client connects, it'll Just Work! :D
[17:34] <sarnold> mason: hehehe
[17:34] <teward> sarnold: lol.
[17:34] <mason> sarnold: SSLeay please. Let's not get all postmodern.
[17:35] <teward> sarnold: is that before or after the server disables TLS1, 1.1, and 1.2 in favor of TLs 1.3 + Modern ciphers LOL

[19:03] <Angryele> Hey don't suppose anyone can give me a hand? Running Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS having dpkg issues while installing mysql
[19:05] <teward> Angryele: what issues specifically?
[19:08] <Angryele> I'm trying to figure out the main problem, when I sudo apt-get install mysql-server I get  this error http://prntscr.com/lt7vz7    dpkg dependency, sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[19:08] <sarnold> scrollup
[19:09] <sarnold> the first error is probably higher up the terminal
[19:10] <teward> sarnold: it's in the screenshot - configure-symlinks: no such file or dir
[19:11] <sarnold> teward: but *why* didn't mysql-common unpack correctly?
[19:12] <Angryele> http://prntscr.com/lt7y6n  entire thing incase you wanted it
[19:12] <sarnold> dang
[19:12] <sarnold> apt-get purge all the mysql packages and try again?
[19:13] <Angryele> Yeah done that before but I'll show you that message if its different
[19:14] <Angryele> Tried updating/upgrading everything before  and when I try apt purge mysql "E: Unable to locate package mysql"
[19:16] <TJ-> Angryele: did you confirm mysql-common was correctly installed?
[19:17] <Angryele> No have not
[19:19] <TJ-> Angryele: that's the package the contains the file that is apparently missing, so I'd "sudo apt --reinstall install mysql-common" first to ensure that is good
[19:21] <Angryele> http://prntscr.com/lt82n2  Full error I got
[19:21] <nacc> uh, not using ubuntu packages
[19:23] <nacc> Angryele: you are using mariadb's packages and mixing them with the ubuntu ones
[19:24] <TJ-> nacc: nicely spotted
[19:24] <Angryele> I might of actually, been stuck on this problem for a good couple of hours so might of done that once is one of the google search fixes
[19:25] <nacc> TJ-: it's probably the number one user error in this channel :)
[19:28] <Angryele> Whats the recommended fix? Have a mediocre amount of skill, doing this on my friends request as he wants to transition from windows server to ubuntu server but promptly fainted seeing the "all terminal" interface
[19:28] <nacc> Angryele: remove that repository and all packages from it
[19:33] <Angryele> Ok now I remembered what happened. Was going through old stuff was installing the pterodactyl game panel I must of installed mariaDB there. Thanks Nacc!
