[00:21] <JanC> how2hack: is there any reason why you have to use “pdfcreater”?  (e.g. CUPS has its own PDF creation driver)
[00:22] <JanC> also, it seems like you have to enable LPD support on the Windows PC to use it from CUPS
[00:27] <JanC> see e.g. https://danielgibbs.co.uk/2012/03/printing-from-cups-to-a-printer-attaches-to-windows-xpvista7/
[00:29] <JanC> or http://www.printmanager.com/cms.php?aid=82&fullpage=1&support=8
[00:32] <how2hack> well it's just homework, the problem is ubuntu server 18.10 (the version i installed) is missing the smb backend
[00:33] <how2hack> i copied the binary from my computer to the vm, but for some reason it doesn't work
[00:33] <how2hack> i'm checking the links, thanks
[00:33] <JanC> you mean you copied a Windows printing driver binary to linux?
[00:34] <how2hack> no, the cups smb backend from my linux system to the ubuntu-server vm
[01:30] <Deihmos> when server boots it flashes fw status recovery error for a split second
[01:30] <Deihmos> no idea what it means
[02:55] <SJr> Did openjdk-8 get removed from Ubuntu 18.04?
[02:57] <SJr> Nevermind
[16:57] <Deihmos> does server have built in backup and restore?
[17:06] <andol> Deihmos: Aside from there being suitable software availible in the package repos, no.
[17:13] <Deihmos> i wonder if acronis will work. looking into it
[17:35] <blackflow> Deihmos: i'd use either filesystem snapshotting capabilities like btrfs or zfs have (+ offsite send|recv), or base it on rsync with something like rsnapshot.
[19:04] <tanja84dk_> I have just got a weird error when I tried to ssh into my online server that I have not tried before. It asked to add the shh fingerprint to the known_host file because I have not visit the server from that client before so I said yes. Then it said right after it added it that the host key differs from the key for the ip
[19:04] <tanja84dk_> how come could it differs when it just have added it
[19:13] <kinghat> does ubuntu server block ports 80/443 by default? i have them forwarded to the machine but am having timeout issues with lets encrypt.
[19:13] <kinghat> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/TMXMsAHq/
[19:14] <kinghat> this is a scan i did from outside the network: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jtnWLfMB/image.png
[19:34] <tomreyn> kinghat: ubuntu server does not filter any ports by default.
[19:35] <kinghat> huh
[19:37] <blackflow> kinghat: you can check with `iptables -L -n`   and ip6tables for ipv6
[19:39] <kinghat> ya i dont see anything in there about 80 or 443. though i do see that one of my docker containers mapped to port 9000.
[19:39] <kinghat> https://paste.debian.net/hidden/5cb118d8/
[19:39] <tomreyn> kinghat: it's not uncommon that cable television (as well as DSL) providers restrict / block traffic to and from specific ports.
[19:40] <kinghat> so i added ports 80/443 in another section on my router and i got a little further: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/yPVQpFGw/image.png
[19:42] <kinghat> and now only an issue with the hostname? odd: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/634648bf/
[19:45] <kinghat> actually. if i scan it over and over again it goes from being closed to filtered.
[19:45] <kinghat> hmm
[19:48] <blackflow> kinghat: there's no response at port 80
[19:54] <kinghat> they are bouncing between filtered/closed when i scan from outside my network. odd
[20:04] <tomreyn> your isp doesn't even allow anyone not in US to visit their corporate website - all traffic dropped.
[20:06] <kinghat> huh?
[20:13] <tomreyn> kinghat: this is kind of !ot here, but i'm happy to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:49] <JanC> every ISP that blocks foreign IPs from accessing their website should be blackholed by all other ISPs
[23:15] <SJr> Um what is the recommended way to install java 11 on Ubuntu 18.04, given that java-11 is actually java 10 in the packages?
[23:17] <blackflow> eww unicode in irc
