[01:59] <cybercrypto> a1Cypher: Please describe what is the error you are getting.
[02:13] <Dave_Elec> Hey everyone, I have added freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable ppa to my ubuntu 18.10 and it is still showing me version 0.16 any suggestions?
[02:16] <hggdh> Dave_Elec: I do not know what you expected in terms of versions, but the best you can do is contact the PPA's maintainers
[02:18] <Dave_Elec> hggdh: the default ubuntu ppa has 0.16 but the frecad-maintainers ppa has 0.17 and apt only shows me 0.16
[02:19] <hggdh> Dave_Elec: the PPA you pointed out above says "freecad-stable". Perhaps there is another PPA that has 0.17?
[02:21] <Dave_Elec> hggdh: yeah the freecad-stable from freecad-maintainers
[02:24] <kinghat> can I SSH into a live booted thumb drive?
[02:26] <hggdh> kinghat: if it has openssh-server running, yes. But openssh-server is not installed by default on Ubuntu
[02:31] <texla> hggdh, I want to run df -h and get a different partition than the original /dev/sda1
[02:32] <hggdh> texla: what do you mean?
[02:33] <texla> hggdh, when i run df -h i get the results from /dev/sda1 I want the results to show /dev/sda2 or 3 or4
[02:35] <hggdh> texla: if you run "df -h" without any other options, it will show you all mounted filesystems (and space used/available). If you only see /dev/sda1, then there is only /dev/sda1 mounted
[02:37] <texla> hggdh, https://pastebin.com/d57mZAmn..this is what i get
[02:40] <kinghat> hggdh: i can connect to it and accept the keys but when it asks me for a password and i leave it blank it says permission denied.
[02:40] <texla> hggdh, You saying I have to mount each partition before running df -h then do I add /dev/sda2 etc
[02:41] <hggdh> texla: if there are other filesystems, yes, they have to be mounted
[02:41] <acu> if I installed an application - what is the command to find everything installed about that application ? I want to know version, location of application folder. location of configuration files, and prerequisites - dependencies that installed along ?
[02:41] <hggdh> kinghat: how about giving it a password?
[02:42] <kinghat> `passwd ubuntu`?
[02:42] <hggdh> kinghat: whatever is the password for the account
[02:44] <hggdh> acu: dpkg -l <package name> will give you all files for <package name>; for dependencies, apt-cache depends <package name>
[02:44] <hggdh> acu: replace <package name> by the name of the package
[02:44] <hggdh> acu: for all else, consult the package's documentation and/or man pages
[02:49] <acu> hggdh, thanks, I forgot to ask, what is the command if application is install with snap ?
[02:50] <acu> I want to know: 1) what is the version 2) where is the application installed 3) where are the configuration files ? 4) what applications where installed along
[02:51] <OerHeks> snap list , this info is easy to find, if the snap gives configuration files, it is stored in your home folder. ~/snap
[02:55] <acu> OerHeks, thank you... is there a way to know what else that snap brought in for install ? It was a lot of dependencies, mariadb etc
[02:56] <acu> I want to know them
[02:56] <OerHeks> no, they are all confined in that snap, afaik
[02:56] <acu> OerHeks, it is interesting - so database install, configurations, php etc all is in snap ? nothing in the host OS ?
[02:57] <OerHeks> not sure there is a snap that provides that,..
[02:58] <hggdh> acu: snaps are, pretty much, self-contained
[02:58] <acu> well, that is what I want to know - for example, I installed nextcloud - OK, nice, but I need to know what was installed, where are the files,?
[02:58] <acu> for example nextcloud
[02:59] <acu> snap install --channel=14/candidate nextcloud
[03:00] <OerHeks> that populair snap gives many version indeed https://snapcraft.io/nextcloud
[03:00] <acu> did wonders, but I have 0 ideea what is in the host (if anything at all) , and what exactly is installed allong (of course I can browse through files /var/snap, but certainly there is a way to find - I know there are are lot of things pulled along
[03:00] <OerHeks> and snap keeps 3 versions on disk, too
[03:01] <OerHeks> https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/Nextcloud_Server_Administration_Manual.pdf
[03:01] <OerHeks> version 3 dec 2018
[03:03] <OerHeks> oh nice, here it is described, Nextcloud 13.0.7 Apache 2.4 PHP 7.1 MySQL 5.7 Redis 4.0 mDNS https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap
[03:08] <kinghat> hggdh: im trying to set my account on ubuntu server back to sudoers or in the group sudo via ssh into a live booted usb on the machine. if i do `visudo` that is only giving me the live usb users and not the users on the ubuntu server im trying to edit.
[03:08] <acu> OerHeks, is there a command to know what exactly is installed along - actually if you see aboe I am interested in 14.04 (is light years ahead of version 13) - but I want to know all the applications - and modules (php mariadb etc - in other words, I am interested in the list of application install - not generic )
[03:08] <kinghat> can i edit the ubuntu server users somehow from the live usb?
[03:11] <kinghat> cna i just go to `/etc/sudoers` and add 'user ALL=(ALL) ALL'
[03:11] <kinghat> can*
[03:12] <OerHeks> acu, sure, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Search_commands
[03:12] <hggdh> kinghat: yes, you can. But the best would be to use visudo with the -f parameter
[03:13] <kinghat> what is the -f parameter?
[03:13] <hggdh> kinghat: then you can give the actual file you want to edit. see 'man visudo' for details
[03:18] <kinghat> hggdh: so i did: visudo -f /media/neon/2d78a139-a582-11e8-8256-7446a0af81e0/etc/sudoers
[03:18] <kinghat> and it brought it up like i previously had it brought it up using nano
[03:19] <kinghat> hopefully it takes
[03:20] <OerHeks> kinghat, if you did not chroot, it would not work, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Add_User_to_a_Group
[03:21] <kinghat> i cant use recovery because the grub menu is jacked on my screen. its hardly visible.  https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cGioOJe6/irccloudcapture2268390190753378140.jpg
[03:22] <kinghat> so i had to use a live boot usb to be able to edit the file on the machine
[03:27] <kinghat> looks like it worked
[03:39] <chrismatthews> where are settings for system logs kept on ubuntu?
[03:43] <kinghat> hggdh: so if i just added my only user back to sudoers, shouldnt it be in the group `sudo`?
[03:44] <scythefwd2> hallo folks.. any of yall familiar with the ubuntu image for the odroid xu4?
[04:42] <lowkeycoat1> perhaps some one can help.. im looking for a low requirements linux os just for transfering files, i only have x2 512gb ram, id like to use a gui
[04:49] <guiverc> lowkeycoat1, we only support Ubuntu & official flavors, and 512mb is rather light for a gui & live-system
[04:50] <kinghat> is it possible to put the output of 'compgen -g' into alphabetical order?

[07:31] <talx> good morning folks,
[07:32] <talx> how would you make all your traffic go through one interface?
[07:32] <talx> I've read in google but does iptables must be on ?
[07:41] <qwebirc13522> anyone have a few minutes to work through a proplem I'm having with Drone 18.04 server?
[07:42] <comet23> i just deleted apache but it still says it exists
[07:42] <comet23> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/1VVOISMe/
[07:42] <comet23> why does it return apache2: ???
[07:43] <qwebirc13522> i cant get phpmyadmin to come up no matter what i do
[07:43] <slidinghorn> comet23, that's the default return.  If it were installed, it would show a location after the colon
[07:43] <comet23> thank you!
[07:45] <slidinghorn> qwebirc13522, more information would be more likely to get you some answers.  How did you install it?  How are you attempting to reach it?  What error(s) are you getting? etc.
[07:50] <qwebirc13522> whats the command to see php info
[07:50] <qwebirc13522> or what command(s) would show helpful infp
[07:52] <bindi> 'php -i' and ##php
[07:55] <qwebirc13522> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YRrHFY5Xcz/
[07:59] <qwebirc13522> can anyone see what might be wrong here https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YRrHFY5Xcz/
[08:02] <slidinghorn> you still haven't given us any useful information other than "I can't get phpmyadmin to come up"
[08:09] <qwebirc13522> php installs but when i try to pull up the phpmyadmin it says the url or page doesnt exist
[08:12] <slidinghorn> how did you install it
[08:14] <qwebirc13522> from comand line. i can find the page i folowed
[08:15] <Ben64> the less info you give the less people can help
[08:16] <qwebirc13522> well it was a friends ex that set it up and they are hot and cold and now they are on a hot phase and im left reassembling the pieces
[08:17] <qwebirc13522> basically I am trying to get concrete5 up and running which it seems to be now but i think i get the login information from the logs of that somewhere
[08:24] <qwebirc13522> ok then i got it to work from the machine on links, but it wants ,e to fix server config to indicate https properly

[08:53] <moha> Hello everyone. I'm trying to install the MySQL JDBC on Ubuntu 1804 (for programming in Java). I know that I can get this file (Connector/J) directly from MySQL website. Isn't this file in Ubuntu repositories? I prefere to install directly from Ubuntu repos instead of Maven repos.

[09:17] <amcsi> alright I solved the issue by reinstalling the nvidia drivers :)
[09:18] <iresf> Ben64 : i want to remove ubuntu icon in boot step and put my icon in it
[09:18] <guiverc> mIk3_08, re: system program detected; it'll likely ask for permission to submit a bug report - I'd advise you let it (something crashed in your system & your system wants to report it)
[09:20] <mIk3_08> guiverc: Thanks. I already reported it.... Many Thanks for the reply
[09:38] <iresf> how to change the ubuntu icon in boot step ?

[11:52] <vlt> saeed_azady: No, I said you could *try* if it works in a debootstrapped 16.04 chroot environment.

[12:58] <sonne> does anyone know a free(libre) text editor that has a scratchpad feature like sublime?
[12:58] <sonne> as in: open text editor, write stuff, close without saving, stuff is still there
[12:58] <Cheez> Doesn't VS Code do that?
[12:59] <sonne> Cheez: vs as in visual studio? that's hardly free
[12:59] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:59] <Cheez> visual studio code
[12:59] <sonne> Cheez: that's proprietary isn't it?
[12:59] <Cheez> https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
[12:59] <Cheez> MIT
[12:59] <sonne> ah cool
[13:00] <coz_> BluesKaj, hey guy
[13:00] <sonne> i was hoping for more of a generic text editor rather than a full blown ide, but it's already something
[13:00] <sonne> thanks for the tip :)
[13:00] <Cheez> i count it as a text editor tbh
[13:00] <BluesKaj> hi coz_
[13:01] <sonne> Cheez: i'll try it and see how it feels, i hope it has more of a sublime text feeling rather than vs :P
[13:01] <Cheez> but yeah, i just opened it, shoved a load of text into a brand new unsaved file, closed it, re-opened it, and the unsaved file was still tehre
[13:01] <Cheez> it's very similar
[13:01] <Cheez> even down to the ctrl + shift + p menu
[13:01] <Cheez> lots of extensions too
[13:02] <sonne> Cheez: pretty cool. i'm cloning the repo right now.
[13:04] <Cheez> one word of warning, it is electron based, but it's also the best performing electron app i've used.
[13:08] <sonne> Cheez: it also seems to require a good deal of nodejs stuff, which doesn't exactly have a very good track record for stability and security.. :/
[13:09] <geirha> no worse than java
[13:10] <sonne> geirha: well i don't recall popular java modules to have shipped with miners tbf :P
[13:10] <ducasse> sonne: there's a snap of it
[13:12] <sonne> ducasse: snaps are not much better for security imho.. it's basically running binaries shipped by third parties, only instead of just the binary you also take the dependencies from them - but i'm sidetracking
[13:13] <ducasse> sonne: i just meant as an alternative to cloning repos if you just want to test it out
[13:14] <sonne> ducasse: i'm trying my best not to run binaries that don't come from my distribution, not even once - but thanks :)
[13:14] <earl_> can anyone PM to help with a drive mount issue im having
[13:15] <sonne> earl_: any particular reason why we can't help you in public?
[13:15] <ducasse> !pm | earl_
[13:15] <earl_> not at all, sorry just new to the chat didnt know how to ask specifically
[13:15] <sonne> no worries, what's your problem?
[13:16] <ioria> sonne, something like xournal ?
[13:16] <earl_> i mounted a drive to my system and I can see it and use it, but while trying to find the drive using filezilla it is not showing up anywhere
[13:16] <sonne> earl_: odd. is it a local filesystem?
[13:17] <earl_> it says that it is mounted to /media , althought in filezilla i do not see that folder anywhere
[13:17] <sonne> ioria: installing
[13:17] <ioria> sonne, it was a Q. :]
[13:17] <sonne> ioria: installing to let you know if it's something like that :P
[13:17] <ioria> ok
[13:18] <sonne> ioria: no, not really.. xournal seems to be taking "taking notes" a tad too literally
[13:19] <ioria> ah
[13:19] <sonne> a text editor that saves unnamed buffers when i close it is really enough :)
[13:19] <earl_> sonne: yes it is local
[13:20] <sonne> earl_: can you see it otherwise? e.g. from the file manager
[13:21] <sonne> i'm not talking about any side menus or things like that just to be clear, can you see it by walking through the path you're expecting? e.g. / -> /media -> /media/something
[13:21] <earl_> if i open up file manager it shows under "other locations" along with my main boot drive
[13:21] <sonne> that's what i was wondering - can you access it without using the "other locations", but just by walking through the mount point?
[13:22] <earl_> I dont believe so, if i open file manager I dont even see /media
[13:22] <sonne> interesting. but if you click it in 'other locations' you see the contents.
[13:23] <earl_> correct
[13:23] <sonne> does it have a unique name in the file manager?
[13:24] <sonne> as in, you know, "earl's pen drive" or something like that
[13:24] <earl_> when I am in disk, it says it is mounted at /media/user/drivename
[13:24] <sonne> ok
[13:24] <earl_> yea I named the drive
[13:24] <sonne> perfect
[13:24] <sonne> let's try something:
[13:24] <sonne> spawn a terminal, write 'mount' in it, and read the output. can you see a line that mentions your drive name?
[13:25] <earl_> yes
[13:26] <sonne> if you type "ls /media/youruser/yourdrivename", no quotes, do you see the contents?
[13:26] <sonne> (i'm hoping the drive name doesn't contain spaces or weird characters)
[13:27] <earl_> when i do that command it says no such file or directory
[13:27] <earl_> no weird characters
[13:27] <sonne> odd. did you write the name correctly? correct case? are there spaces involved? what if you just type "ls /media/youruser"?
[13:29] <earl_> oh sorry, yes if i do the original command it shows the folder that is in there
[13:29] <sonne> ok, great
[13:30] <sonne> so it is mounted correctly and it seems there's no weirdness involved, so filezilla shold see it.
[13:30] <earl_> in files, how would i even go back far enough to see /media
[13:30] <earl_> if that question makes sense
[13:31] <sonne> depends in the file manager you're using, i'm not very knowledgeable on those though
[13:31] <sonne> earl_: is it the only drive you have in /media/youruser?
[13:31] <earl_> yea only drive
[13:32] <sonne> cool, try this: spawn a terminal, type "ln -s /media/youruser/* xxx" no quotes
[13:32] <sonne> then try on filezilla, see if you have a 'xxx' folder in your home directory, and see if it can enter it
[13:34] <earl_> filezilla does not see it, but i can see it in my home folder on file browser
[13:36] <_13LACK_> earl_: in filezilla, what shows inside /media directory?
[13:36] <sonne> earl_: i'm puzzled really. i tried running filezilla on my machine, it has no problems accessing external fileystems.
[13:37] <earl_> I dont see any /media directory in filezilla
[13:38] <sonne> earl_: what if you just type "/media" in the "Local site:" box?
[13:38] <_13LACK_> tell us.. what is appears in filezilla?
[13:39] <earl_> says /media/ does not exist or can not be accessed
[13:40] <earl_> if i go to the top of directory in filezilla / i have app, bin, dev, etc, home, lib, lib64, proc, run, sbin, sys, tmp, usr
[13:40] <_13LACK_> aww
[13:41] <_13LACK_> maybe is a permission problem
[13:41] <_13LACK_> whats is the permission of /media directory?
[13:41] <earl_> honestly i have no clue because I cant get to it anywhere
[13:42] <b-m-f> earl_, Can you open a terminal and type `ls -la /media/your-username`
[13:43] <_13LACK_> type ls -lh /
[13:43] <sonne> _13LACK_: he can see it on the terminal, so at the very least it has u+x.
[13:43] <b-m-f> earl_, that should print that information
[13:43] <sonne> and it shouldn't matter with the symlink
[13:44] <_13LACK_> and see the first co/lum of /media line
[13:44] <_13LACK_> column*
[13:45] <earl_> _13LACK_ when i type that
[13:45] <earl_> it brings up all the folders, but media is the only one in green
[13:46] <earl_> b-m-f did that command as well, not sure what im supposed to be looking for
[13:47] <sonne> earl_: what does the first column say? shold be something like: drwxr-xr-x
[13:47] <Mathisen> earl_, do this instead and give the url it says >  ls -la /media/your-username | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/
[13:47] <earl_> for which command ?
[13:47] <sonne> ls -l /
[13:47] <tchakatak> sonne: the first column are the rights on the file/directory
[13:48] <sere_> hello
[13:48] <sonne> tchakatak: i know, i belive it's what _13LACK_ was asking him
[13:48] <tchakatak> Directory ReadWriteeXecute (for the owner) Read-Execute (for the group) and Read-Execute(For everyone)
[13:48] <tchakatak> look online at posix rights
[13:49] <sonne> tchakatak: not sure why you're telling me this, have you read the rest of the backlog?
[13:49] <b-m-f> earl_, ls -lh / | grep media | awk  '{print $1 $2  $3 $4}' this command should give you the info that sonne is asking for
[13:50] <keinheit> earl_: fuck it just run `sudo filezilla` then if it works we will know it's permission issues.
[13:50] <tchakatak> sonne: nope. just arrived.
[13:50] <sonne> keinheit: boy isn't that radical
[13:50] <tchakatak> sonne: oh, i was thinking you got questions about posix perms
[13:50] <sonne> tchakatak: earl_'s filezilla cannot see /media, we're wondering why
[13:50] <tchakatak> Sorry
[13:50] <ducasse> keinheit: watch the language, please
[13:50] <earl_> hmmm when i run sudo filezilla it doesnt open lol
[13:50] <tchakatak> does /media exist ?
[13:50] <tchakatak> earl_: normal.
[13:51] <sonne> earl_: can you please tell us what the first column in the /media row looks like when you do ls -l / ?
[13:51] <sonne> so we get that out of the way
[13:51] <earl_> sure
[13:51] <earl_> drwxrwxr-x
[13:52] <sonne> good, that's how it should look like
[13:52] <_13LACK_> ok
[13:52] <Mathisen> have him use a pastebin.. this guessing is killing me :) ...
[13:52] <vincenzoml> Hi
[13:52] <tchakatak> earl_: can you paste the full line with /media inside ?
[13:52] <sonne> Mathisen: he seems to be very cautious about his private data, i don't see a reason why he should pastebin all of his files
[13:52] <vincenzoml> I have a filesystem where btrfs has given several uncorrectable errors. I need to find all the files that give "Input/output error" when read
[13:53] <vincenzoml> it's 200gb of data; any better solution than md5sum everything? I first of all want to find the single broken files.
[13:53] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: md5sum will not help you
[13:53] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: this error happend also when you touch a file ?
[13:53] <earl_> yea its showing media folder in everything you guys tell me to do
[13:54] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, well if it says io error...
[13:54] <sonne> ioria: Cheez: i managed to build notepadpp, seems to be exactly what i was looking for - just thought i'd share :)
[13:54] <tchakatak> earl_: i just wana know who is the owner of the directory
[13:54] <earl_> i just cant see it in file borwser or filezilla, shows everything but that
[13:54] <earl_> sure, i can paste it, what command am i running
[13:54] <sonne> earl_: desperate attempt: open a terminal, run these two commands: "mkdir ~/yyy" , "sudo mount -o bind /media/youruser/* /home/youruser/yyy" , check 'yyy' under filezilla
[13:54] <tchakatak> earl_: if you do ' cd /media && ls ' does it list the files inside ?
[13:55] <sonne> if that works i'll still be puzzled about filezilla's weird behaviour, but at least you got unblocked :P
[13:55] <keinheit> ducasse: I just read the guidelines, didn't realise. Will not happen again.
[13:56] <earl_> tchakatak if i do that command it brings up my user name
[13:56] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, I'll check but the error also showed up in dmesg as a crc error and in btrfs scrub
[13:56] <earl_> sonne, trying that now
[13:57] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, so first of all I want to recover the files from my backup and make sure all files I have don't have those crc errors without re-scrubbing
[13:57] <tchakatak> yup. but you need to interact with thoses to generate your error no ?
[13:57] <tchakatak> so is touching the file making an io error ?
[13:57] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, I tried to touch the file and it does not give any error
[13:57] <vincenzoml> one file
[13:57] <tchakatak> ok.
[13:57] <vincenzoml> the one I knew about :)
[13:57] <tchakatak> if you cat it ?
[13:57] <earl_> sonne" it says mount point does not exist
[13:58] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, if I sha256sum it, I get IO error
[13:58] <sonne> did you do the mkdir ~/yyy first?
[13:58] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, if I cat it, yes, also
[13:59] <tchakatak> then you could script something for that
[13:59] <vincenzoml> I got these errors during a huge rsync between usb disks; I wonder if that is normal but I'm starting to suspect my mainboard. I also have a nvme drive that got broken.
[13:59] <earl_> sonne: ok did it
[13:59] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, yes but I would have to read 200gb of data again, possibly triggering new bus errors; I could as well read just one byte from each file, but don't know how to do it and get my errors reported. Maybe dd
[14:00] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: you can use find for that :)
[14:00] <tchakatak> find . -name * exec {} blabla
[14:00] <sonne> earl_: i suppose the mount worked after that?
[14:00] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, find can also read file contents?
[14:00] <tchakatak> you pipe whateveryou want from find
[14:00] <earl_> sonne: yes i can see yyy
[14:00] <tchakatak> use find to list all files
[14:00] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, yes I tried with find + xargs + dd, but it's tricky: dd spits on stderr some information
[14:00] <sonne> earl_: in filezilla?
[14:00] <vincenzoml> and on stderr if it fails
[14:00] <sonne> and can you see the drive contents/
[14:00] <sonne> ?
[14:01] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, forget about this: I can't read 1 byte.
[14:01] <tchakatak> why dd ? you just need to sha256sum the file to trigger your error
[14:01] <tchakatak> so you can just list the files, made a sha256 then grep if there is an error and report it into a text file
[14:01] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, my own problem was that I wanted to avoid reading all of the data at once. I wanted just to check for IO error by trying to access each file without reading it in full.
[14:02] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, however:
[14:02] <earl_> sonne: yes it shows the content
[14:02] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: i/o error can be tricky especially with btrfs
[14:02] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, I can't do that, simply because these errors don't show up on all accesses, but only when I read the block which is damaged.
[14:02] <_13LACK_> you sure the content is you removible drive content?
[14:02] <sonne> earl_: cool. i'm glad i unblocked you. this is a horribly ugly workaround that will only work until your next reboot, and probably blocks you from removing your drive until you reboot or unmount it manually. in the meantime please call an exorcist.
[14:03] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, yes I'm seeing it. So perhaps I should scrub the filesystem again and monitor the logs. The problem is currently my ROOT is on the device since my nvme is also damaged
[14:03] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: even, you cant be 100%sure of the files who have been damaged
[14:03] <earl_> _13LACk_ there is only one folder i put in there with nothing it, fresh drive
[14:03] <sonne> oh boy.
[14:04] <sonne> horrible suspicion, hold on
[14:04] <keinheit> sonne: I'm shocked that worked.
[14:04] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, why? Is there more I should know?
[14:04] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: if the file is not accessed, you might never know this file was damaged
[14:04] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, well md5sum will likely work anyway since I have backups
[14:04] <sonne> nope, never mind. i suspected filezilla would hide empty folders, but that is not the case.
[14:04] <vincenzoml> tchakatak, yes, but btrfs scrub is for that purpose: it scrubs the whole filesystem block by block :)
[14:05] <sonne> keinheit: picture me as shocked
[14:05] <vincenzoml> but I'll make a snapshot instead, and md5sum everything
[14:05] <earl_> lol
[14:05] <tchakatak> earl_: your usb... you just buyed it ?
[14:05] <earl_> its a HDD
[14:05] <tchakatak> Is it new ?
[14:06] <tchakatak> or have been trough a windows computer before ?
[14:06] <earl_> yes it has been through windows
[14:06] <sonne> anyway i really have to run now, too bad because i really wanted to see how this story ended
[14:06] <tchakatak> :)
[14:06] <sonne> see you :)
[14:06] <earl_> was wiped before i switched to ubuntu
[14:06] <earl_> thanks sonne
[14:06] <tchakatak> wiped on windows ?
[14:06] <tchakatak> vincenzoml: you will have no choice anyway to md5 /sha256 everything
[14:06] <earl_> when i say wiped, i just mean that everything was deleted off of it while installing ubuntu
[14:07] <tchakatak> earl_: your trying to access trough filezilla files who are in a usb hdd ? or a removable device ?
[14:08] <earl_> a remote desktop
[14:08] <tchakatak> your /media problem. Where are the datas ?
[14:08] <tchakatak> a remote computer ?
[14:09] <earl_> not understanding your question fully, i just cant see the media folder on filezilla to download things on to
[14:10] <tchakatak> yes
[14:10] <tchakatak> but in the media folder there is data right ?
[14:10] <tchakatak> where are theses datas ?
[14:10] <tchakatak> i am just thinking it could be an access problem with a previously used device on windows
[14:11] <earl_> there is nothing on the drive
[14:11] <tchakatak> because /media is generally for removable devices / server
[14:11] <tchakatak> so you connect something to your computer, and it show under /media
[14:12] <earl_> yea this is an internal HDD, i have an SSD that is my boot drive, when i first set up the OS it showed my HDD in disk and so i mounted it
[14:12] <tchakatak> Ok.
[14:12] <earl_> and it puts it under /media/user/drivename
[14:12] <tchakatak> yes exactly
[14:12] <tchakatak> could you give me ALL the line of a ls -al /media/user/
[14:13] <tchakatak> i just think there is a permisson problem
[14:13] <keinheit> earl_: To be 100% sure `cd /media/user/drivername` and `touch anything` see if that works.
[14:13] <earl_> drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root 4096 Dec  9 20:59 .
[14:13] <earl_> drwxrwxrwx  3 root root 4096 Dec  5 17:46 ..
[14:13] <earl_> drwxrwxrwx  3 earl earl 4096 Dec 10 09:01 earLsauce
[14:13] <keinheit> tchakatak: permissions are fine
[14:13] <tchakatak> yup
[14:14] <_13LACK_> do have filezilla some configuration like "don't show removable drives" ??
[14:14] <tchakatak> _13LACK_: not that i am aware of
[14:14] <earl_> keinheit i typed in that command
[14:14] <earl_> what do u mean by touch anything
[14:15] <keinheit> now ls, if the file there
[14:15] <earl_> yea folder is there when i do ls
[14:15] <keinheit> it creates a file called `anything`, just want to be sure you can write to the drive
[14:16] <earl_> oh yes the file anything is there
[14:17] <keinheit> _13LACK_'s suggestion makes sense considering that works AND sommes' idea works as well. Maybe there is a setting in Filezilla about ignoring mounted drives.
[14:17] <geirha> then it's time to set sensible permissions on it
[14:23] <earl_> yea not sure what to do at this point
[14:26] <keinheit> Following sommes suggestion can you do everything you need from /home/youruser/yyy now?
[14:28] <earl_> filezilla shows /yyy now, but sonne said that after a reboot it would not work
[14:29] <_13LACK_> keinheit: yup... i was thinking that filezilla hide the removable devices directory (/media as default)
[14:31] <earl_> is it possible to mount the hard drive anywhere else ?
[14:32] <earl_> just starting to use linux so my knowledge isnt great
[14:33] <keinheit> earl_: You could add the command to the last line of your ~/.profile file so it runs every time you log in (bringing back ~/yyy) but then you would lose out on the journey of finding out what the original problem was.
[14:34] <_13LACK_> earl_: yup .. You can mount HD or removable drive in anywhere.... But, the indicate is use /media directory
[14:34] <keinheit> Look into the firezilla settings, _13LACK_ is likely correct.
[14:35] <earl_> the thing is i cant even find the media folder in file browser
[14:35] <earl_> im on ubuntu 18.04, if i go into "files" i dont see media anywhere
[14:37] <_13LACK_> i'm installing filezilla on my ubuntu just for test..
[14:37] <keinheit> in the top box that displays the directory address (e.g /home/you when you open it) type / and you should see loads of folders including media
[14:39] <keinheit> _13LACK_: was considering it myself lol
[14:40] <_13LACK_> earl_: You make filezilla conection over what protocol?
[14:43] <_13LACK_> I have a  debian fileserver on my network... and i'm using Ubuntu 18.04 on my desktop... I open the filezilla and connect to my debian fileserver usin SFTP protocol.... /media appears normaly.
[14:45] <earl_> _13LACK_ FTP
[14:45] <_13LACK_> You are using FTP?
[14:45] <earl_> yes
[14:46] <_13LACK_> So maybe the problem is the FTP configuration... For default, FTP work ONLY in home directory.
[14:48] <earl_> hmmm, way i can change that ?
[14:50] <_13LACK_> What the FTP server are you using?
[14:50] <_13LACK_> filezilla server? ProFTPD?
[14:52] <mohnish> What are .run files basically used for?
[14:52] <HaMsTeRs> Lag
[14:52] <mohnish> What?
[14:54] <earl_> _13LACK_ not sure of the question
[14:56] <_13LACK_> earl_: if you are a FTP client, the server must be a FTP server.
[14:56] <_13LACK_> so.. the server must have a FTP server service installed
[14:58] <earl_> yea it does
[14:59] <earl_> i am connecting to a box
[15:00] <earl_> i have been transferring things fine from my box to my desktop,but that was being put on my boot drive, and i want the files to be downloaded to my HDD
[15:03] <rexwin_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable
[15:03] <rexwin_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[15:03] <rexwin_> error when trying to install lynx
[15:03] <rexwin_> sudo and su root also gives that error
[15:04] <keinheit> earl_: So is it your box that has the FTP server installed? And this is where the mounted drive is as well? Then you can't access the mounted drive from your desktop? - This is what I understood before but might be wrong.
[15:05] <keinheit> rexwin_: another process is either upgrading or installing something. You can't run `apt-get install lynx` when apt-get is being used for something else.
[15:08] <earl_> keinheit: i am connecting to my box through filezilla on my home PC, i can get into the box just fine and even download files, I just cant choose the right directory local for them to download too
[15:10] <keinheit> Oh right. It's not a problem with the FTP server then, strange that Filezilla doesn't allow it as a path to download to.
[15:10] <tchakatak> Error: target STRING not available
[15:10] <tchakatak> Woups. sorry
[15:11] <earl_> yea everything else is there besides media, has to be hidden or permission blocked or somethjing
[15:12] <keinheit> Maybe you are just not seeing the directory. Can you take a screenshot of the download dialogue from Firezilla and upload it somewhere? Maybe https://www.imagebin.ca/
[15:15] <earl_> what you mean by download dialogue
[15:16] <keinheit> When your in Firezilla on your desktop and you are trying to download a file from your box, what can you see?
[15:36] <keinheit> earl_: Maybe try without Filezilla. https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/22518/how-to-mount-a-remote-folder-in-ubuntu/ is much cooler and easier imo. I'll be back in a bit, interested to find out if your sorted.
[15:44] <coconut> Can a dual boot with ubuntu ubuntu-mate both use the same one /boot partition?
[15:54] <tchakatak> coconut: yep
[15:54] <tchakatak> but why would you ?
[15:59] <coconut> tchakatak: but that will not conflict each other? :)
[15:59] <User1000> hi
[15:59] <tchakatak> well the /boot you will have the kernel. as they are based on each others it should work normally
[16:00] <tchakatak> but you will not save a lot of space
[16:00] <tchakatak> User1000: hi
[16:00] <User1000> how can i show the day and month with the hour in ubuntu 18.04LTS
[16:00] <User1000> ?
[16:00] <tchakatak> in a terminal ?
[16:01] <User1000> in gnome-shell, default desktop of 18.04LTS
[16:01] <tchakatak> only the tinme ?
[16:01] <tchakatak> time ?
[16:01] <User1000> now i see the hour and the day of the week in the top of the screen
[16:01] <User1000> but i want to see the day and month too
[16:01] <User1000> complete date, not just the hour
[16:01] <tchakatak> you can use gnome-tweaks
[16:02] <User1000> okey thanks i'm installing it
[16:03] <User1000> it works, perfect. Thanks.
[16:04] <User1000> good bye
[16:04] <tchakatak> your welcome
[16:05] <User1000> :)
[16:11] <coconut> thnx :)
[16:19] <okamis> Hello, installed slack with snap. I cannot run slack as a user, it has to be root for some reason.
[16:21] <nacc> okamis: show on a console what happens when you try
[16:21] <nacc> okamis: as that's not been my experience; how did you install it, as well (show that in a pastebin)
[16:22] <okamis> nacc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kGQNdStTTj/
[16:22] <okamis> nothing happens in the terminal, it just gives me next prompt
[16:23] <nacc> okamis: and is slack running after that?
[16:23] <nacc> okamis: `ps aux | grep slack`
[16:23] <okamis> nacc: that gives nothing
[16:23] <okamis> its not running
[16:24] <nacc> okamis: how are you testing it to run as root?
[16:24] <nacc> okamis: terminal and using sudo?
[16:25] <okamis> yeah, or su to root
[16:25] <nacc> okamis: can you do a `which slack` ?
[16:26] <okamis> user: /snap/bin/slack
[16:26] <okamis> as, root the path is not set, so I have to type /snap/bin/slack
[16:27] <nacc> okamis: did you by any chance run it as root first on accident?
[16:27] <okamis> yes
[16:27] <nacc> okamis: possibly some config file is now root-owned when it shouldn't be
[16:28] <okamis> I uninstalled it, and reinstalled as user. And expected it to be working as user after that, which was not the case
[16:28] <nacc> okamis: snaps are werid, in that the config isn't cleared on removal, iirc
[16:28] <nacc> okamis: you can try asking in #snappy
[16:28] <okamis> Im a first time snap user, where does it store installations?
[16:28] <tchakatak> if you uninstall without purge it will not work as config file are still present
[16:28] <okamis> my friend explained it as similar to docker
[16:28] <tchakatak> nope.
[16:29] <tchakatak> snap is really crap (sorry but it is)
[16:29] <tchakatak> and far from docker
[16:29] <nacc> tchakatak: snaps don't hve purge
[16:29] <nacc> tchakatak: please take opinions elsewhere, stick to support
[16:29] <okamis> how do I purge the configuration?
[16:29] <okamis> or find where it is located?
[16:29] <tchakatak> nacc: Thanks but snap does.
[16:30] <nacc> okamis: i believe you need to do it by hand. Ask in #snappy or see the contact link in `snap info slack`
[16:30] <nacc> tchakatak: snap does what?
[16:30] <ioria> okamis, you probably have snap folder in your home dir
[16:32] <tchakatak> nacc: Just read again the ubuntu wiki, there is nothing about not showing opinions here.
[16:32] <tchakatak> Read the COC please.
[16:32] <nacc> tchakatak: use common sense. stick to support topics, not your personal opinion.
[16:34] <tchakatak> okamis: there is a folder where you have configurations for your snap packages.
[16:37] <tchakatak> okamis: have you ever use docker ?
[16:37] <okamis> tchakatak:
[16:37] <okamis> yes
[16:37] <okamis> Thank you, It has been resolved. 2 folders in my home directory was owned by root.
[16:38] <nacc> okamis: the snap works now?
[16:38] <okamis> nacc: yes, you were right with root owning folders
[16:39] <nacc> okamis: glad to hear that resolved it, it probably happened with sudo, etc.
[16:39] <okamis> tchakatak: I gladly use slack with docker, but I cannot figure out how to make the links open in the browser
[16:40] <ioria> that's maybe due to the classic confinement
[16:40] <nacc> ioria: yeah, good point, it could be
[16:41] <okamis> Another question, If I run spotify in a container I have to mount /dev/snd. But Im using bluetooth headsets, is there a bluetooth device that needs to be mounted?
[16:42] <ioria> i don't think a 'common' snap might elevate privileges , but just speculating
[16:43] <okamis> I can open links with snap
[16:44] <romanparish> Anyone here know how i can mount a raid0 to recover a couple files
[16:45] <nacc> okamis: i believe that's handled by one of the snap interfaces
[16:46] <Parting1990> anybody running Ubuntu on a mac that can recommend best battery manager?
[16:47] <lotuspsychje> !info laptop-mode-tools | Parting1990
[16:48] <Parting1990> cause im running tlp and it doesnt seem to do anything
[16:48] <Parting1990> seemed to get better batttery on fedora, so was wondering if its ubunthu thing :(
[16:58] <Kumool> I remember windows having a power saving mode button, and given the killawatt readings, it never went above 25 watts, in "balanced" mode it could jump to 40w for basically just using the browser
[16:58] <Kumool> basically, browser use == battery drain
[16:59] <Kumool> unless you used IE, which would keep the watts consistent, and it never jumped
[16:59] <Kumool> i havent tested linux use
[17:00] <Kumool> there is a powertop i think that would tell you how much battery is being used
[17:01] <Kumool> oh, they parting left
[17:08] <sonne> earl_: so how did it end?
[17:16] <cooloutac> Hello all
[17:16] <EriC^^> hello
[17:16] <cooloutac> I have a problem with ubuntu 18.04 wireless connection
[17:16] <cooloutac> sometimes the wifi icon shows a question mark and doesn't list access points.  for example after resume from suspend.
[17:16] <cooloutac> but I still have wireless connection
[17:16] <nacc> cooloutac: so the problem is the icon only?
[17:17] <nacc> cooloutac: i see it too, periodically, i ignore it
[17:17] <cooloutac> well it was the wifi.   i was having issues cause wifi don't work on this system.  so I had to install custom script to install module
[17:17] <cooloutac> then I had issue of secure boot re-enabling itself after some time.
[17:17] <cooloutac> fixed these issues and now it is just the icon lol
[17:17] <teward> cooloutac: not listing the access points might be because it hasn't rescanned yet, i see the same behavior but within a minute or so it 'works'.  as for the question mark that means it hasn't verified the connection is up.  when yo usay it gets the question mark, does it still "work"?
[17:18] <cooloutac> teward, it stays like that unless I disable and re-enable it for somre ason.
[17:18] <cooloutac> right now its been showing question mark for 20 minutes.
[17:18] <cooloutac> but the connection seems fine
[17:18] <cooloutac> I also had issue with auto logon  and it asking for keyring password.
[17:18] <cooloutac> but now I've disabled auto logon as well
[17:19] <cooloutac> seems to be just an icon issue now.   This is my sisters pc and she is always calling me lol
[17:20] <cooloutac> teward,  ok so now I've realized if I hit select network.  It will show all available access points.   but the question mark stays there in the task bar
[17:20] <cooloutac> i guess a minor bug i will tell my sister to try and ignore it lol
[17:21] <cooloutac> if I restart network manager,  or disable and enable wifi.  the question mark goes away.
[17:21] <cooloutac> I think it might have to do with the fact my wifi card is not officially supported
[17:22] <cooloutac> My wifi card is RTL8821CE
[17:22] <cooloutac> I had to disable secure boot and manually install driver
[17:23] <cooloutac> is there somewhere I can go to request it be officially supported and added to kernel?
[17:23] <lotuspsychje> realtek is picky about kernel versions cooloutac, can you tell us wich version you are on?
[17:23] <cooloutac> ok
[17:23] <cooloutac> how do i show the kernel version again?
[17:24] <lotuspsychje> uname -a
[17:24] <cooloutac> ty
[17:24] <cooloutac> 4.15.0-42 generic #45-Ubuntu
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> cooloutac: yes, you are up to date, one test could be trying booting a previous kernel
[17:26] <LunaLovegood> Is there a way to block the inhibition of the screen saver / blank / dpms by applications such as mplayer or chrome? I don't want an application-specific solution, I want blanking/locking to always work no matter what.
[17:26] <cooloutac> lotuspsychje: I've tried :(
[17:26] <cooloutac> google search always shows it is not supported.  I think the wifi card came out in 2017
[17:27] <cooloutac> was a hoping a new kernel would eventually supported.  but I think its been 3 kernel versions so far and still not supported.
[17:27] <cooloutac> I just would like to be able to enable secure boot.
[17:28] <EriC^^> it's kinda overrated anyways cooloutac
[17:28] <cooloutac> I know I can manually sign the file.   but its too complicated for me.
[17:28] <cooloutac> EriC^^: ya I know how most of you feel :)
[17:28] <EriC^^> if you're worried somebody will boot a live usb or something disable usb booting from the bios and set an admin password
[17:29] <cooloutac> yes I have done that.
[17:29] <cooloutac> I worry about remote access through the os as well though.
[17:29] <cooloutac> unsigned drivers etc...
[17:29] <EriC^^> oh i see
[17:29] <cooloutac> remember that hacking team people and insyde bios
[17:29] <cooloutac> you never know lol
[17:30] <cooloutac> its just for peace ofmind,  the system has the ability might as well try to utilize it.
[17:30] <cooloutac> EriC^^:   oh and this was disturbing me.
[17:30] <cooloutac> the secure boot kept re-enabling itself.
[17:30] <cooloutac> I don't know why never seenthat.  maybe an hp thing.  an ubuntu 18.04 thing?
[17:31] <cooloutac> I disabled uefi altogether and put a password on the bios
[17:31] <cooloutac> secure boot would re-enable itself.  after a random amount of days.
[17:31] <EriC^^> odd
[17:31] <cooloutac> Ithought it was when ubuntu would update kernel or seomthing.   but doesn't seem to be.  any idea why secure boot would re-enable itself?
[17:32] <cooloutac> ya thats what I thought.  strange.
[17:32] <cooloutac> firs thought would be someone would need physical access.   but then again lol
[17:32] <cooloutac> so I disabled all boot devices,  put it in legacy mode,  and put a bios password.
[17:33] <cooloutac> if it all changes back I'll crap myself haha
[17:33] <cooloutac> I'm giving the pc back to my sister and not even telling her there is a bios password on it.  She will probably never know.
[17:33] <cooloutac> I also told her she has to log on to the os.  to avoid the keyring issues and such.
[17:34] <cooloutac> I'll see what happens
[17:34] <cooloutac> she wanted me to put windows  back on cause wifi kept being disabled.
[17:35] <cooloutac> i'm tring to tell her the windows is too dam slow on her machine.
[17:35] <cooloutac> even though it came with windows
[17:35] <cooloutac> It would be unbearable for me to use.  I don' know how she would stand using it.  the ubuntu is lightning fast.
[17:35] <cooloutac> I don't even know how these companies get awa with selling these slow laptops with little memory and windows on there.   the system crawled out of the box.
[17:37] <binary_nomad> cooloutac ive been having trouble with wifi on my laptop as well
[17:37] <cooloutac> ya wifi is always a problem.  its very closed source.   the whole wifi industry is like the wild wild west.
[17:37] <cooloutac> I mean they have way less regulations then wired.
[17:38] <binary_nomad> i found turning off power management for the wifi helped
[17:38] <cooloutac> way less government regulations even for pricing of services.
[17:38] <binary_nomad> but still have trouble occasionally
[17:38] <cooloutac> binary_nomad: oh that is a great idea.  i do that on a nother laptop.  that freezes the whole system when resuming from sleep.
[17:38] <binary_nomad> well worked for me
[17:38] <cooloutac> that system run a different linux and I endedup having to make script.
[17:38] <cooloutac> is there an easy way to do this in ubuntu 18.04?
[17:39] <telamohn> My gnome-shell takes constantly an high amount of cpu (39~47%), anyone have a clue what could be wrong? strace: https://pastebin.com/VYrTcuFA
[17:39] <cooloutac> binary_nomad: yes i works for me too.  how do I do it in ubuntu?
[17:40] <cooloutac> wifi card on my other system does not have the option natively.  so I have to do iwconfig wlan power off
[17:41] <binary_nomad> i edited /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and set wifi.powersave = 3 to wifi.powersave=2
[17:41] <cooloutac> thankyou
[17:41] <binary_nomad> worth trying but helped a lot with my wifi
[17:41] <cooloutac> yes it is a great suggestion
[17:42] <binary_nomad> my wifi was so slow i couldnt use vnc on my vm's on my server but when i did that change i had np at all hope it helps

[18:15] <griphook> Hello
[18:17] <griphook> I am trying to get full screen mode working on virtualbox running ubuntu server and its not working
[18:18] <griphook> I have tried the following here https://askubuntu.com/questions/314685/is-there-a-way-to-make-a-fullscreen-on-virtualbox/635963#635963
[18:18] <griphook> and that still has not helped
[18:18] <_13LACK_> What happen when you click on full screen?
[18:20] <griphook> it will open in full screen but the guest os itself is in the middle of my screen only
[18:20] <cryptodan> griphook: ubuntu server is all cli mode so why would full screen mode come into play and there are no drivers to install since uses generic video
[18:20] <griphook> and i cannot move it or make it bigger
[18:20] <griphook> well i am booting into emacs as my window manager
[18:21] <griphook> i defined exec emacs in my .xinitrc file
[18:21] <griphook> and use startx to launch it
[18:21] <gabrielschulhof> Hey, all! How do I boot and log into an Ubuntu 18.04 cloud image as I run it with virtualbox?
[18:21] <cryptodan> i believe it would be ran as 80x24
[18:22] <griphook> 80x24?
[18:22] <cryptodan> the default tty setting
[18:23] <griphook> sorry not following you
[18:23] <griphook> Is that a setting i need to change?
[18:24] <cryptodan> yes but your emacs maybe limited
[18:25] <griphook> do i need the resize app?
[18:25] <cryptodan> you might try that
[18:26] <griphook> ok thx
[18:26] <ducasse> afaik emacs should just open to fill the display when started that way
[19:19] <mostym> hey all I'm running ubuntu 18.04 on a file server.  From only one windows desktop I can not ping, ssh, access http, I have confirmed that ufw is inactive.  I don't know where else to start.  Any help?
[19:21] <_13LACK_> mostym: on shell, type iptables -L
[19:21] <_13LACK_> and post the result
[19:22] <mostym> _13LACK_: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target     prot opt source               destination  Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target     prot opt source               destination  Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target     prot opt source               destination
[19:25] <cryptodan> mostym: so from one machine you have no network to file server?
[19:25] <nacc> i would assume the problem is on the windows machine then
[19:25] <mostym> cryptodan: yeah, nothing works. from one ip
[19:26] <mostym> but I can connect to other ftp, ssh, http hosts.
[19:27] <mostym> from the windows machine
[19:27] <cryptodan> check the hardware on that one machine and verify the network card is working and the cables are nice and snug replace cabling if needed
[19:28] <idlemind> is there a way to list the packages available at a repo url?
[19:28] <idlemind> at the cli
[19:28] <yeats> idlemind: look into apt-cache
[19:29] <idlemind> Anyway w/o using caching locally?
[19:29] <yeats> "apt" itself has incorporated a lot of that
[19:29] <mostym> cryptodan: the ubuntu box is accessible by everyone else.  I can access every other system except the ubuntu box just one machine.
[19:29] <idlemind> I have a repo I want to inspect w/o needing an ubuntu box necessarily (or container)
[19:29] <mostym> ICMP, ssh, ftp all work from every other system
[19:30] <cryptodan> then check the hardware on that one machine
[19:30] <nacc> idlemind: browse the repsitory?
[19:30] <idlemind> nacc yes essentially - i want to repackage a .deb at a repo into an .rpm right now i have to use an ubuntu container to identify the package - get the url and go from there.
[19:31] <mostym> cryptodan: If the windows machine can connect to other ftp, ssh, http, and ping other machines, hardware is fine right?
[19:31] <nacc> idlemind: i meant, do that. if it's browseable.
[19:31] <idlemind> nacc ya it's not (apprently - copy paste into browser wise)
[19:31] <idlemind> but somehow apt works.
[19:31] <mostym> I turned off the windows firewall, and checked the windows host file, still can't connect
[19:31] <idlemind> so i'm not sure how that'd be possible - unless the url it builds is slightly different
[19:32] <cryptodan> mostym: from windows machine ping file server and what are the errors
[19:34] <mostym> cryptodan: If I ping 216.218.189.40 i get Reply from 216.218.189.43: Destination host unreachable.
[19:35] <cryptodan> mostym: well i cant ping .43 but can ping .40
[19:35] <mostym> .40 is the ubuntu box, .43 is the windows box
[19:35] <mostym> I have ICMP blocked
[19:36] <mostym> ICMP incoming blocked on the windows box
[19:45] <gambl0re> how do i fix corrupted partition
[19:45] <teward> gambl0re: define 'corrupted' - as in actually corrupted, or just needs an fsck?
[19:45] <gambl0re> i ran fsck /dev/sda2 but then i cancelled mid way through
[19:45] <teward> gambl0re: you probably shouldn't cancel an fsck
[19:46] <gambl0re> i thought it wasnt working so thats what i cancelled mid way
[19:46] <teward> gambl0re: no output isn't a bad thing, cancelling the fsck could do more damage.  try the fsck again and be patient :P
[19:47] <am4> Hi, I'm having trouble with my keyboard/mouse on 18.04.  Whenever I boot into ubuntu, neither seem to work (even in recovery mode). They both work fine in the BIOS, Win7 and even Grub, but when I try to boot ubuntu, there's no input. I've tried another keyboard as well and same problem.
[19:47] <gambl0re> teward do i do it in the console?
[19:48] <gambl0re> i tried running it in the console but it gave me a big warning message that the partition was mounted and it can cause SEVERE damage to my file system
[19:48] <teward> gambl0re: is /dev/sda2 your live system partition?
[19:48] <gambl0re> ya
[19:48] <teward> boot to a LiveUSB and do the fsck from there
[19:49] <gambl0re> can i boot up into the terminal and run it? i dont have my liveusb with me now
[19:49] <am4> ok ill try that, thanks teward
[19:50] <teward> am4: i was talking to gambl0re not you
[19:50] <am4> oh ok
[19:50] <teward> gambl0re: not if your systme is currently mounted - that'll happen as long as you try to boot to the system and not a LiveUSB
[19:51] <gambl0re> how do i unmount it
[19:52] <gambl0re> can i just do unmount /dev/sda2
[19:52] <gambl0re> then run fsck?
[19:58] <gabrielschulhof> Does anybody have an example cloud-init configuration that sets up a default gateway and DNS for ubuntu 18.04?
[19:59] <gabrielschulhof> When I boot Ubuntu cloud on virtualbox it obtains an IP, but it doesn't set any DNS servers nor any default routes, so the image, once booted, isn't really connected.
[20:00] <gabrielschulhof> I tried https://gist.github.com/gabrielschulhof/9952d12b4234767fed27844f8a13d0d3 but the settings aren't being used by the image :(
[20:06] <gambl0re> hello?
[20:08] <ioria> gabrielschulhof, why a password with ethernet and dhcp  + gw ip ?
[20:09] <OerHeks> gambl0re, no, you *need* to unmount it, but that cannot be done if that partition is part of your running system
[20:09] <OerHeks> so live iso it is ..
[20:09] <gambl0re> ok thanks
[20:10] <gambl0re> OerHeks, how come i cant run fsck if its my running system
[20:10] <hyperlumic> fsck will nearly always return errors on a mounted filesystem that's under active use.
[20:11] <lordcirth_> gambl0re, fsck checks the filesystem.  It can't do that if the filesystem is changing.
[20:11] <lordcirth_> (simplified version)
[20:12] <gambl0re> ok thans guys
[20:12] <keinheit> earl_: did you resolve your /media problem?
[20:13] <sere_> anyone know how to convert .theme cursors or linux cursors into .ico or .ani animated for windows
[20:15] <ioria> there is an online converter iirc
[20:15] <OerHeks> icotool or something like that
[20:15] <OerHeks> !find icotool
[20:16] <OerHeks> https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-icotool/
[20:22] <sere_> i just download icotool :).. have not messed with it yet.. i was kinda hoping for a gui based program but if not i will manage..i will check out iirc..thank you :)
[20:23] <OerHeks> maybe openoffice/draw can import those too?
[20:24] <sere_> OerHeks: ok cool.. i will check that out.. i also say gimp has a animated plugin.. that might work aswell
[20:24] <sere_> thanks :)

[20:29] <MadLamb> Sometimes when I use my touchscreen the cursor gets stuck in the grab hand and I clicking on UI elements such as the battery indicator blinks but doesn`t show the menu (I suppose because I`m "grabbing" something). Eventually I have to restart the machine. Any ideas on how to prevent and recover from that?
[20:44] <tpw_rules> hey. i'm working on an embedded system and i can't figure out how to change a kernel command line parameter. editing in the uboot script didn't work, editing it at the uboot console didn't work, and editing it in the device tree didn't work. the command line in /proc/cmdline didn't change and the effect didn't happen
[20:52] <OerHeks> edit grub, and run update grub
[20:52] <OerHeks> !grub
[20:53] <tpw_rules> OerHeks: this machine doesn't use grub. it's an embedded fpga system with uboot
[20:53] <tpw_rules> but it runs stock ubuntu 16.04
[20:56] <OerHeks> i find for uboot that command would be: u-boot-update, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/u-boot-update.8.html
[20:57] <OerHeks> without that, kernel parameters are not transferred i guess
[21:01] <nacc> it's surprising that it doesn't work from the uboot cmdline itself, though
[21:01] <nacc> maybe that's a feature :)
[21:03] <tpw_rules> it's a dev board, i don't think it's like DRM :P
[21:05] <ogiorgi> echo test -- please ignore
[21:08] <gabrielschulhof> ioria: Those are just different parts of the configuration.
[21:10] <gabrielschulhof> ioria: I'm just trying to figure out how to create this iso image so that it sets the password *and* sets the default gateway *and* sets the nameservers *and* configures ssh to allow password-based login.
[21:10] <aidalgol> Setting higher FD limits in /etc/security/limits.conf does not seem to be having any effect, even after logging out.  I'm stumpted as to why.
[21:11] <aidalgol> (I'm on 18.04.1)
[21:13] <ikonia> gabrielschulhof: dhcp does all that
[21:19] <nacc> aidalgol: did you try rebooting? there are interactions with pam and stuff there
[21:19] <aidalgol> nacc: I'll try that next.
[21:20] <nacc> aidalgol: i don't love the suggestion, but i'd try it
[21:24] <woefe> How can I set the time on Ubuntu Server 18.04? I can set it with `timedatectl set-time`, but after a couple of seconds it resets to the current time again.
[21:25] <woefe> Is there something I am missing? systemd-timesyncd is disabled
[21:27] <aidalgol> No joy. :(
[21:28] <nacc> aidalgol: how are you checking and what did you change?
[21:29] <aidalgol> I am checking with ulimit -Sn and ulimit -Hn, and I added the lines "* soft nofile 8192" and "* hard nofile 16384".
[21:29] <aidalgol> to /etc/security/limits.conf
[21:30] <eelstrebor> i'm trying to dualboot win10 with ubuntu bionic - win10 was installed first - but when the grub menu comes up, i select ubuntu to boot but i get an error message that a uuid can't be found - the uuid is for the ubuntu root partition - gparted from the live dvd says the root partition is identified with that uuid what would cause this problem?
[21:31] <eelstrebor> btw, windows boots fine from the grub menu
[21:52] <woefe> I found the solution to my problem. I'm running server 18.04 in a VirtualBox VM. In the dmesg log I found that the vbox guest additions install their own timesync service.
[21:59] <Sbur3> I need help changing a sb drive and its contents to read-write.  I don't know how or why it changed into read only mode, but I need access to the write capability
[21:59] <Sbur3> *usb drive
[22:02] <Sbur3> I've googled the question but haven't found the magical command to change it back to read-write
[22:05] <leftyfb> Sbur3: sudo mount -o remount,rw /path/to/mount
[22:06] <Sbur3> leftyfb: I think I tried that, but will try again
[22:06] <leftyfb> Sbur3: that's how you do it. It's more likely a bad drive/filesystem and needs to be unmounted and run an fsck
[22:07] <Sbur3> leftyfb: But it worked fine before and ... it's a "spy camera" with a 32gb micro sd that continues to record videos
[22:08] <leftyfb> Sbur3: then it's entirely possible the 32gb sd card is failing
[22:11] <Sbur3> leftyfb: Recent purchase.  Don't understand how things could fall apart so easily
[22:12] <Sbur3> leftyfb: I typed in /media/...., just like file manager shows the "32GB drive"
[22:13] <Sbur3> leftyfb: I typed in /media/...., just like file manager shows the "32GB drive".  Now it says that it can't be found in /etc/fstab
[22:19] <Norux> Hi everybody
[22:20] <Norux> I'm trying to install ubuntu 16.04.5 32bit server version on an old machine. I get "failed to create a file system"
[22:21] <Norux> Can anybody help with this? Maybe EriC^^?
[22:26] <Gin> Norux, Is that the only error message you get, there's no further information?
[22:27] <Norux> Gin: "The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI4 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[22:28] <Norux> Gin: If I try to change the size of one of the partitions manually it says it encountered an "unknown error"
[22:28] <genii> If you're installing from an USB stick, check that you're not trying to install the system onto your installation media
[22:29] <Norux> genii: did that
[22:29] <Norux> sda has 160 GB
[22:30] <genii> Might want to check dmesg output for I/O errors, in which case that drive could be dying
[22:31] <Norux> hmm that might be possible! How can I check those?
[22:33] <genii> Norux: from a terminal something like: dmesg | tail -n 25   ..should show enough lines to see if there's some errors like this
[22:34] <Norux> genii: okay but how do i get to the terminal
[22:34] <grub-loser> I need some help, please.  I did an apt upgrade and now apt won't run anymore (I think) because my grub is messed up
[22:34] <grub-loser> one message I get is "Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-140-generic)"
[22:35] <qwebirc22866> Hi! I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7567 laptop that I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 16.04 on. After the restart my laptop is stuck on a page of code with the last line showing the following: [1076.212038] sd 0:0:0:0 [sda] Synchonizing SCSI cache
[22:36] <genii> Norux: If you went straight into the installer instead of running it from live desktop, you can still use one of the ctrl-alt-F# key combos to enter a terminal, and also toggle back to the installer
[22:37] <genii> Norux: If you ran the install program from live desktop then you can just run a terminal same as in regular Ubuntu
[22:37] <alekksander> quite an unusual question… any Russian users here? i need help, and my language skills are somewhat of a 1st grader…
[22:37] <Norux> genii: http://termbin.com/fcar
[22:37] <slidinghorn> alekksander, try #ubuntu-ru
[22:38] <Norux> grub-loser: Do you mean you can't boot? Or are you able to boot but not call apt anymore
[22:39] <grub-loser> Norux: tx.  I mean I can't run apt anymore
[22:39] <Norux> grub-loser: did you try "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken"?
[22:40] <grub-loser> Norux: tx.  I think I messed up grub during an upgrade.  This box is running 14.04 Trusty Tahr LTS.
[22:40] <grub-loser> Norux: tx.  No, I did not try that.  I like the sound of it.  tx!
[22:40] <genii> Norux: There's no I/O errors. Another option is the system you're attempting to install onto uses EFI/UEFI but Ubuntu EFI/UEFI installer is only for 64bit, not 32
[22:41] <Norux> genii: I picked ubuntu 16.04.5 32bit server version
[22:41] <Norux> so it should support 32bit, i guess :D
[22:43] <genii> Norux: 32bit Ubuntu releases which remain do not come with 32bit UEFI
[22:44] <genii> Norux: The system you're trying to install onto is actually 32bit?
[22:44] <Norux> genii: oh. I'm not quite sure at that. It's definitely old enough to be 32bit!
[22:45] <genii> Norux: You should check first and use 64bit if possible
[22:45] <Norux> genii: used to be a vista system
[22:48] <Norux> genii: how am I supposed to find that out?
[22:49] <genii> Norux: You can check what CPU it says in /proc/cpuinfo and then look that chip up to see if it's 32 or 64
[22:49] <energizer> /etc/cron.monthly/myscript is run as root, correct?
[22:58] <grub-loser> that didn't work.  but it's a hyper-v with a checkpoint, so I rolled it back.  BUT I think that the fundamental problem is that I gave it a wrong answer about grub during apt upgrade.  Should I hold-back grub?  or let it do all volumes?  or is there a way to figure out which volume to upgrade grub on?
[23:13] <grub-loser> I went with hold-back grub:  apt-mark hold grub-*
[23:17] <energizer> My /var/log/syslog.{1..7} files only go back a week. Are there others hiding somewhere else?
[23:24] <slidinghorn> energizer, as far as I know, there should be some gzipped archives of log files, in that directory.  Beyond that, you could configure logrotate to keep them longer, I believe.  See `man logrotate`
