| dman777 | Coming from Gentoo, can I place my network commands from http://dpaste.com/2BB3ZZY as-is in /etc/network/interfaces? | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | dman777: no. /etc/network/interfaces is not a shell script. | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | there is a man page describing its format. | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | dman777: however, with current ubuntu releases you should rather use either network-manager (desktop) or systemd-networkd configurations instead. | 00:52 |
| tomreyn | netplan can be used to write configurations for either. | 00:53 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: to keep it simply can I just run the shell script instead to set the network? | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | dman777: i haven't tried, so can't tell for sure. but probably yes, after installing the deprecated software. but it may, and likely wlll, break in future ubuntu releases. | 00:55 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: ok, thanks | 00:56 |

| kreyren | i've just figured out the hard way that if non-standart filesystem is mounted on mini.iso installation that it's going to formatt the drive.. 336 hours of work on my LFS ruined.. thanks for that | 02:01 |

| Squarism | what is the best irc client for linux now days? | 02:12 |
| kreyren | hexchat/konversation ? | 02:12 |
| kreyren | irssi on wm? | 02:16 |
| ra | Squarism, as kreyren suggested, knonversation is very good, i use hexchat on my main computer. i also use irssi on an ubuntu minimum install | 02:19 |
| Squarism | i use hexchat, but it feels dated | 02:20 |
| kreyren | why? | 02:20 |
| ra | Squarism, dated compared to what? | 02:20 |
| kreyren | +1 | 02:21 |
| Squarism | like if i have 20 channels open the best 2 best ways to switch channelsl is pressing ctrl+pgdn/up or write /j #channelname | 02:21 |
| kreyren | or use mouse? | 02:21 |
| Squarism | that operations could be limited to max 3-4 key presses | 02:21 |
| Squarism | i dont use mouse | 02:21 |
| Squarism | but maybe i should test konversation | 02:22 |
| ra | Squarism, i'm on 25 channels on 5 networks, just click the channel in the list :) | 02:22 |
| Squarism | as i said, i dont use mouse | 02:22 |
| ra | ah | 02:22 |
| kreyren | I would fork it and bind it to something like favorites | 02:22 |
| kreyren | if such feature is not present already | 02:22 |
| kreyren | otherwise irssi probably | 02:24 |
| mlalkaka | Squarism, I've been using HexChat on Ubuntu as well. I looked around for other IRC clients, and it seemed that HexChat was probably the best one overall, and seems to still be maintained (last release in Aug 2018) | 02:27 |
| mlalkaka | How would you rather switch channels? | 02:27 |
| Jammers | Is anybody else present? | 02:29 |
| kreyren | Jammers: eh? | 02:30 |
| downer06 | I use quassel and love it run the core on an Ubuntu server then install the client on everything else | 02:30 |
| downer06 | mlalkaka: | 02:31 |
| ra | Squarism, #hexchat is an active channel, and TinPing can probably offer solutions for you | 02:31 |
| Jammers | Well damn | 02:41 |
| Jammers | First time I've properly used this program. | 02:41 |
| Jammers | mlalkaka smells | 02:42 |
| mlalkaka | downer06, Jammers, sorry, I missed what you said. Had a network issue and just got reconnected | 02:43 |

| destinydriven | Hey guys | 02:48 |
| destinydriven | I have a vm which has updated tp 18.04.2 but unman -a still shows I'm on 4.15.0-45-generic kernel. Shouldn't that have changed to 4.18 with this release? | 02:49 |
| destinydriven | uname -a | 02:49 |
| OerHeks | destinydriven, only for fresh installs, but you can upgrade with !hwe , or sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 | 02:49 |
| destinydriven | OerHeks, ahh ok I did see that but thought that only applied to desktop versions | 02:50 |
| OerHeks | destinydriven, that was my 1st thought too | 02:50 |
| Bashing-om | destinydriven: No, from the initial 18.04 install, unless you opt in for HWE you will remain on the 4.15 series. | 02:50 |
| OerHeks | same happened with 16.04, iirc | 02:50 |
| destinydriven | But xserver on server . . is that needed? | 02:51 |
| OerHeks | hmm, good point.. | 02:51 |
| destinydriven | Let me so some digging on that. Snapshot in the making | 02:52 |
| OerHeks | not sure "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 " would do | 02:52 |
| destinydriven | OerHeks, works perfectly without need for xserver-xorg | 03:03 |
| OerHeks | destinydriven, thanks for feedback, noted. | 03:04 |
| destinydriven | Thanks for then tip. | 03:04 |
| OerHeks | have fun! | 03:04 |

| et09 | i did a remote upgrade 16.04 -> 18.04, ssh stopped working so i tty'ed in, for the life of me can't figure out why sshd isn't working | 03:10 |
| et09 | or perhaps that the port is blocked - i checked iptables -L, input policy is accept, checked for ufw, doesn't exist... | 03:10 |
| et09 | using the right IP... sshd seems to be running (pgrep sshd) although typing ps aux|grep ssh comes out ps aux > grep ssh for some bizarre reason | 03:10 |
| OerHeks | et09, produce a verbose log. ssh -vvv <something> | 03:12 |
| et09 | i did, it hangs at "Connecting to..." | 03:12 |

| OerHeks | maybe you have 1024 bytes keys, those are dropped, 4096 is standard now? | 03:24 |
| et09 | nah that's not it | 03:25 |
| et09 | something wrong with network interface config | 03:25 |
| OerHeks | restarting sshd on the host, perhaps? | 03:26 |
| et09 | first thing i tried, nope | 03:27 |
| et09 | can't ping 8.8.8.8, no ipv4 on eth0 when i do `ip addr` | 03:27 |
| OerHeks | is it still eth0?? mine gives enp2s0 | 03:28 |

| OerHeks | nshirelaptop, sure, but it needs a little work: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/05/add-hibernate-option-ubuntu-18-04/ | 03:50 |

| OerHeks | in the same post there are tips about GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash resume=UUID=<swap>” | 03:53 |
| nshire | or does linux use the same partition for swap and hibernate | 03:53 |
| OerHeks | yes, i guess so, but fresh installs give a swapfile | 03:53 |

| blackflow | shirofuji: is there a question in that? | 09:35 |
| NginUS | Is there a way to wait for internet before running a script at boot? | 09:35 |
| blackflow | NginUS: yeah, make it dependent on network-online.target | 09:35 |
| NginUS | can it run whenever an internet connection is established... each time in case it d/c's & reconnects? | 09:36 |
| shirofuji | yea, newbie here, why do i lose connection when running adding main interface to bridge? | 09:36 |
| NginUS | Im not even sure that would fit the bill tho... :-( | 09:37 |
| NginUS | I have an s3 bucket mounted locally via s3fs, & if it loses internet after its initial connection, I could end up with /tmp/cache filling up if I lose the connection. | 09:38 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: because a whole lot about routing tables has changed. existing flows are no longer valid beacuse the NIC changed context. that means broken tcp connections. | 09:38 |
| blackflow | NginUS: if you want that -- dynamic network events handling -- you can look into Network Manager and dbus events it creates | 09:39 |
| shirofuji | is there a way to create a bridge to the main interface such that it would still be usable? | 09:39 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: you'll have to clarify. bridge is "still usable" after creation. your previous question was about losing existing connections..... | 09:40 |
| NginUS | blackflow: Ok thanks, didn't know that was a thing, cool... | 09:41 |
| blackflow | NginUS: however, look into autofs, iirc it can do dynamic mounting of s3 buckets | 09:41 |
| NginUS | nice | 09:41 |
| shirofuji | for example create bridge "br0", and "addif br0 eno1" such that I could still use eno1 normally? | 09:41 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: define "normally". | 09:42 |
| ubuntua | hi everyone, is there big difference btw "try ubuntu without installation" and actrully installed in regard of security? | 09:42 |
| blackflow | a network interface is just that -- an interface. what matters to userland is ip addresses and routing, all managed by the kernel with bridges. | 09:42 |
| shirofuji | normally, such that after addif i won't lose connection to ssh | 09:43 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: so when you add eno1 to a bridge, you can continue using the network that those NICs are attached to physically and logically. | 09:43 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: probably not for the reasons I mentioned above | 09:44 |
| === tkore1 is now known as tkore | ||
| shirofuji | does restarting the network delete interfaces created by brctl? | 09:46 |
| shirofuji | or bring them down? | 09:46 |
| Meili | shirofuji: I would suggest you spin up a VM and just try what you want to do and see what happens. | 09:48 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: yes, you can't fully update the live env. if you need a portable installation, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:49 |
| blackflow | shirofuji: probably. if you want bridges to persist reboot and network "restarts", you'll have to configure them statically | 09:49 |
| ubuntua | thank you blackflow. what if I was trying the latest one(no need update), could I say I'd get the same safe env.? | 09:53 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: I dislike using "safe" in contexts like that because it's misleading. but yes, the closer to release date you are, your live env has less stuff pending update for bug and security fixes. | 09:55 |
| blackflow | (closer on the side after the release) | 09:55 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: but the live env is not designed to be "safe" or "secure". it's designed to be as usable as possible and enable installation. | 09:55 |
| usualrise | HI | 09:57 |
| === usualrise is now known as Guest23092 | ||
| Guest23092 | Hi, Currently I am booting using boot from file in my hp's bios | 09:57 |
| Guest23092 | How to set it to use the shimx64.efi as default for boot | 09:58 |
| === Guest23092 is now known as usualrise1 | ||
| usualrise1 | I have ijust installed ubuntu. dual booted with windows actually | 09:59 |
| usualrise1 | should I need to go to bios and select boot from file everytime I boot ? | 10:00 |
| jeremy31 | usualrise1: Is there an OS Boot menu in the BIOS? | 10:01 |
| ubuntua | great blackflow, I'm a newbie on Linux, "try ubnutu without installation" , dose this only works on Ubuntu or I can do it on another one like arch linux? | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: no | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: are you in ubuntu right now? | 10:01 |
| usualrise1 | jeremy31: yes | 10:01 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Yes I am in ubuntu right now | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: what's this boot menu in the BIOS you're talking about? | 10:02 |
| usualrise1 | "/efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi" | 10:02 |
| jeremy31 | usualrise1: Select ubuntu in the os boot menu, make it first in the list and save and exit bios settings | 10:02 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: this is specific for the Ubuntu Live ISO. Whether Arch has a similar, I don't know. so it's distro specific. | 10:02 |
| usualrise1 | jeremy31: We need to create that a boot path first before moving it to first place | 10:02 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: can you type "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" in a terminal? | 10:03 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: https://termbin.com/n256 | 10:04 |
| ubuntua | ok, blackflow, thank you | 10:04 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: if you're new to linux, I recommend you stick to Ubuntu. Arch is an advanced distro, you're expected to be familiar with the ecosystem as you manually install components | 10:05 |
| cim209 | or go with manjaro | 10:06 |
| cim209 | the ubuntu of arch | 10:06 |
| lotuspsychje | cim209: lets not reccomend other distro's here | 10:06 |
| cim209 | lotuspsychje: but it's open source | 10:07 |
| cim209 | like everything else | 10:07 |
| ubuntua | yeah,black flow, I like to, but I feel my system is hacked, that;s why I just ack you about the security things, cus I'm using the "try with out installation" mode | 10:07 |
| blackflow | let's not confuse new users with a megaton of choice. to Ubuntu they came, with Ubuntu they should stick until they feel familiar enough to try others. If at all. | 10:07 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: it's quite unlikely that your system is hacked. possible, yes, but unlikely. | 10:08 |
| cim209 | true | 10:08 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: again, if you want persistent Ubuntu that you can use normall, from an USB stick, take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 10:08 |
| cim209 | the newcomers will know soon enough about advance stuff | 10:08 |
| cim209 | soon know enough* | 10:09 |
| ubuntua | so you are very confident about the "try ubuntu without installation" mode in regard of security? | 10:09 |
| cim209 | ubuntua: you mean the live usb mode? | 10:10 |
| === MobileMatt_ is now known as MobileMatt | ||
| ubuntua | yes cim209, | 10:10 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: the reason I dislike using "this is safe" is because "safe" is very much relative. Depending on the level of security needed, it ranges from "very much" to "not at all". For starters with a live env you can't update components that require restart, like the kernel, dbus or systemd. | 10:11 |
| ubuntua | is that mode as safe as the persistent installed mode? | 10:11 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: does my above answer about relativity of "safe" satisfy you? there's no other answer. | 10:11 |
| cim209 | what blackflow said is true, security is 100% relative | 10:11 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: we can try making ubuntu the first in the boot order, but likely the BIOS will override it | 10:11 |
| blackflow | but definitely persistent installation is "safer" (relative), because it can update ALL components | 10:11 |
| cim209 | think of live mode as a burner phone | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: sometimes the BIOS has a feature to select which one to boot usually within the BIOS options itself, which PC model is this? | 10:12 |
| cim209 | you can use and abuse it then throw it away after. like a VM | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: sudo efibootmgr -o 000F,000C,0010,000B,000A,000E,000D,0000,0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,0007,0008,0009,0011 | 10:12 |
| ubuntua | but backflow, i just "sodo apt upgrade" succeeded couple days ago | 10:13 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: again, some components need restart and reboot. live env is not persistent across reboots. | 10:14 |
| blackflow | if you want to use Ubuntu off of an USB stick, take a look at the link above. | 10:14 |
| ubuntua | yes, cim209, that's why I like that mode, i wont hurt the computer persistently | 10:14 |
| cim209 | no not sodo | 10:14 |
| cim209 | it's sudo | 10:14 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: "hurt"? | 10:15 |
| ubuntua | it wont hurt.. | 10:15 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: okay you don't want to mess with the OS and files on your disks. Fine. Look up that link, install ubuntu on an USB stick persistently. | 10:16 |
| ubuntua | I mean if you persistently installed, anything you do will left to the disk, for a newbie, a lot of moves are wrong | 10:16 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: I can agree with that. the only dual/multi booting that I will ever suggest is one with each OS on its own disk. | 10:17 |
| blackflow | everything else is fiddling with high risks to break something even to advanced users, as your Windows is lying about how its using "drive letter" and proceeds to erase whole disk, not just the partition the "drive letter" is attached to. :) | 10:17 |
| cim209 | you wanna do something so backward and make your life hard? try building a docker image | 10:18 |
| ubuntua | cim209,"backward" you mean? | 10:20 |
| cim209 | ubuntua: you ever used docker | 10:20 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: one day, when you learn about "docker", you'll understand what a steaming pile of .... it is. that's what cim209 meant. | 10:21 |
| blackflow | and now for something completely different: let's not confuse new users :) | 10:21 |
| cim209 | blackflow: i actually love docker but it's a PITA lol | 10:21 |
| ubuntua | ok. it seems too "advanced" to me:) | 10:21 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: don't bother yourself with it. it's usable only in some very specific and advanced settings. if you will ever need it, you'll learn about it. | 10:22 |
| cim209 | i am actually connected to this channel using a web client docker image | 10:22 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Thanks a lot :) | 10:22 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: did it work? | 10:22 |
| usualrise1 | Yeah it worked | 10:22 |
| EriC^^ | ah great, good to hear | 10:22 |
| EriC^^ | no problem :) | 10:22 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Can you help me with windows too? How can I add windows option in grub | 10:23 |
| usualrise1 | Since I am unable to see windows in it | 10:23 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" | 10:23 |
| ubuntua | for now I just feel "try ubuntu without installation" is a good way to learn , if no security concerns borther me, I would stick to that mode for a while | 10:23 |
| cim209 | usualrise1: most modern distros have grub os prober | 10:23 |
| cim209 | which should detect your windows partition | 10:24 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntua: nothing is saved though | 10:24 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: well as time passes, that live env will be less and less secure as you can't apply some fixes. | 10:24 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: really..... really... if you want to use Ubuntu off of an USB stick, please take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent do yourself a favor. | 10:25 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: https://termbin.com/iw6d | 10:26 |
| cim209 | i recommend etcher but it doesn't have persist mode | 10:26 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: but it's not just updates. it is NOT designed for regular use. as a small example, the "root" user on the live env is not protected. anyone and anything can elevate privilege and affect your main disks... | 10:26 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: windows is installed in legacy mode and ubuntu in uefi mode, you need to either convert ubuntu to use legacy which is easy, or reinstall ubuntu in legacy mode | 10:27 |
| EriC^^ | do you want to convert it to legacy? | 10:27 |
| usualrise1 | Yes | 10:27 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" | 10:28 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: go to the line that says UUID=stuff-here /boot/efi ....... and add at the start of the line a "#" to comment it out, then press ctrl+o to save then ctrl+x to exit | 10:29 |
| usualrise1 | It is already commented | 10:30 |
| ubuntua | I learn some moves, like "sudo touch nologin" , start ufw and passwd root , do you think these still can't protect root? | 10:30 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: the next power loss or reboot for whatever reason (say a bug in GPU while you watch a YouTube vid) will erase everything you did, all updates, all configs, any local files you had. | 10:32 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: It is already commented | 10:32 |

| usualrise1 | EriC^^: https://termbin.com/totf | 10:34 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: ok, great, type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" | 10:34 |

| ubuntua | I suffer couple times that everything dont anwser(mouse, keyboard..) these days, I have to reboot and lost what i've done | 10:37 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: please type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" and tell me if it shows dirs or no file found | 10:37 |
| blackflow | ubuntua: exactly. make a persistent installation. | 10:37 |
| ubuntua | and there seems no "ctrl alt del" in ubuntu:) | 10:38 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Dirs | 10:38 |
| anikras | hi, can I add an alias in my /etc/hosts without IP. I have only a DNS name. I would like to to an example: mydomain.ask.ct server | 10:38 |
| ubuntua | I will blackflow , good suggestion | 10:38 |
| blackflow | anikras: nope. | 10:39 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: ok, that means you're booted in uefi mode | 10:39 |
| anikras | ok, thanks | 10:39 |
| blackflow | anikras: but... there's the "search" function/option for resolv.conf so that when you use "mydomain" as host, and "search ask.ct" is in resolv.conf, it'll try "mydomain.ask.ct" | 10:40 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: ok, try now "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" | 10:40 |
| blackflow | anikras: you can set that via "Domains" option of /etc/systemd/resolved.conf if you're using Ubuntu defaults (with systemd-resolved) | 10:40 |
| anikras | I add an alias in my bashrc alias server='mydomain' | 10:41 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Installition finished. no errors reported | 10:41 |
| blackflow | anikras: what _exactly_ do you want to achieve as the end goal? | 10:42 |
| blackflow | !xy | anikras | 10:42 |
| ubottu | anikras: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 10:42 |
| anikras | I have an list of servers with a large names | 10:43 |
| anikras | I woudl like a list of alias with all the server names, but I don't have IP address | 10:44 |
| blackflow | anikras: is the domain search functionality as explained above sufficient for your situation? | 10:44 |
| usualrise1 | EriC^^: Done that. | 10:44 |
| blackflow | anikras: alternatively, why don't have the IPs? are they dynamic? If they're static and won't chnage, it's easy to find them | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: type "sudo update-grub" | 10:45 |
| EriC^^ | see if it mentions windows | 10:45 |
| usualrise1 | No it didn't mentioned windows | 10:46 |
| anikras | blackflow, I have an alias file with all the dns | 10:46 |
| blackflow | anikras: again, are they all on the same domain? is the "domain search" functionality sufficient for your problem? | 10:47 |
| anikras | blackflow, yes, it is a sufficient for my problem, thanks | 10:48 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: oh, try booting now to get into ubuntu without uefi | 10:59 |
| EriC^^ | usualrise1: choose in the BIOS csm legacy if that's an option | 10:59 |

| ubottu | silenfgd: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 11:42 |
| silenfgd | I am actually able to connect but not any new connections. im assuming it's because somehow its not able to save the network files. Im using plasma. | 11:43 |
| silenfgd | Where are they saved in plasma? I think chowning them would solve the issue. I tried finding it online but couldn't find thr exact location.I confirmed this (that its able to write the files) by installing another network manager gui and when tried to add or delete a network connection it said you don't have root permissions | 11:44 |
| randominternetus | Is there any way to have the tray bar back in ubuntu 18.04 gnome? | 11:46 |
| blackflow | silenfgd: any results with this command? `find ~/ \! -user USERNAME` replace USERNAME with your actual user | 11:46 |
| lotuspsychje | randominternetus: the tray bar? | 11:47 |
| lotuspsychje | randominternetus: you mean you want indicators at right upepr corner? | 11:47 |
| blackflow | silenfgd: it would list any files in your home dir not owned by you. normally no such files should exist. That's just to find any potential permission issues in your ~/. NM is likely storing config files under /etc/NetworkManager/ but... I'm not sure exactly about Plasma, whether it's the same NM | 11:49 |
| randominternetus | lotuspsychje, yaeh I think | 11:49 |
| lotuspsychje | randominternetus: the indicators still work on gnome 18.04, depending on wich apps you install, some work, some are broken | 11:50 |
| blackflow | randominternetus: Ubuntu specifically adds an extension that does that yes "appindicators" if I'm not mistaken | 11:50 |
| randominternetus | lotuspsychje, hexchat for example. | 11:50 |
| randominternetus | blackflow, can you give me the package name please? | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah hexchat hasnt got an indicator anymore for 18.04 | 11:50 |
| randominternetus | What can I do? | 11:51 |
| blackflow | randominternetus: no idea, and it's installed by default. look into "Top Icons" extension as well, I think it's the "generic" systray extension these days | 11:51 |

| === skr is now known as Guest13939 | ||
| imightbearobot | hello | 13:08 |
| joop_ | Hi | 13:10 |
| Exterminador | leftyfb: heads up > that radio bot that I was using that crashed with the 'general protection ip' error, doesn't crash if I use taskset to assign it to just one core. | 13:36 |
| Exterminador | I'm wondering how that can affect the bot tho | 13:38 |
| Guest21 | Hi guys | 13:39 |
| Guest21 | I have genereted two list of MD5 files in different directory with the commands: | 13:40 |
| Guest21 | find DirectoryA/ -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort -k 2 > dir1.txt | 13:40 |
| Guest21 | find DirectoryB/ -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort -k 2 > dir2.txt | 13:40 |
| Guest21 | then I would like show only difference by only MD5 with the command: diff -u dir1.txt dir2.txt | 13:41 |
| Guest21 | but it does not the output that I want | 13:42 |
| blackflow | Guest21: it's not clear what you want. also why don't you use diff on dirs directly? | 13:43 |
| Guest21 | for example: in dir1.txt I have 1a2b3c4d5e6f5g... /path1/path2/file1.txt and in dir2.txt I have same file (MD5) but in different path 1a2b3c4d5e6f5g... /path3/path4/file5.txt | 13:44 |
| Guest21 | the output I would like to show is only those files that have different MD5s in both directories | 13:45 |
| blackflow | Guest21: so you want to show files with same NAME, but differing MD5sums in different dirs? | 13:46 |
| blackflow | Guest21: note that with find + md5sum the output is full paths. so same named files would still have different directories and would not sort equally with that -k 2 | 13:47 |
| leftyfb | Exterminador: you still need to contact the author of the bot for support | 13:47 |
| === msalvatore is now known as msalvatore_ | ||
| Exterminador | leftyfb: I'll do so. just trying to get some insight about how having multiple cores (6 in this case) can raise that error but using taskset solves it | 13:48 |
| leftyfb | Exterminador: again, that's not an ubuntu problem. It's a bot problem. | 13:48 |
| elichai2 | hey, what's the easiest way to create a keyboard/mouse macro in ubuntu? | 13:48 |
| leftyfb | elichai2: the keyboard settings | 13:49 |
| Guest21 | blackflow Given two directories A and B I want to show ONLY those files (through the comparison of MD5) of B that are not present in A | 13:49 |
| elichai2 | leftyfb: there's shortcuts to open apps can't see any to write text | 13:49 |
| Exterminador | also, I can use taskset in a systemd script, just like in the command line, correct? like ExecStart=taskset -c 0 /home/radio/radiobot (where radiobot is the script that starts the bot) | 13:49 |
| elichai2 | (I want it to write `println!("{:?}");` lol) | 13:50 |
| leftyfb | elichai2: then you want a bash alias | 13:50 |
| blackflow | Guest21: you can use diff directly on two directories btw | 13:51 |
| === babilen is now known as babilen5 | ||
| elichai2 | leftyfb: and how will a bash alias do that? | 13:51 |
| blackflow | Guest21: diff -q DirectoryA/ DirectoryB/ for example | 13:52 |
| geirha | Guest21: awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1];next} !($1 in a) { print "Missing:", $0 }' dir1.txt dir2.txt | 13:52 |
| blackflow | Guest21: otherwise you'll have to strip directories from filenames if you want to diff a list of md5sums for files of the same NAME in different dirs | 13:52 |
| leftyfb | elichai2: what is this for exactly? | 13:54 |
| elichai2 | I have the `Logitech Maste MX 2S` mouse and I have a spare button that I want to use to write a print in rust when I program | 13:55 |

| ani | Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. | 13:55 |
| ani | Please give me solution | 13:56 |
| leftyfb | ani: did you do what the error message told you? | 13:56 |
| ani | Yes | 13:56 |
| leftyfb | ani: and what was the error from journalctl? (use pastebin) | 13:56 |
| leftyfb | elichai2: print in rust? | 13:57 |
| elichai2 | yeah lol `println!("{:?}");` | 13:58 |
| ani | I don't understand it | 13:58 |
| elichai2 | that's what I want it to write | 13:58 |
| leftyfb | ani: I'm not asking you to understand it. You should paste the output to pastebin so we can see it here and help you. | 13:58 |
| Guest21 | geirha "Missing:......" is refered to the file dir2 that is not present in dir1? | 13:58 |
| ani | ok | 13:59 |
| geirha | Guest21: it lists the files in dir2 that has no md5sum entry in dir1 | 13:59 |
| ani | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nPGWCmYfVm/ | 14:00 |
| grkblood13 | For some reason when I type commands in the terminal window theyre now being underlined and Ican no longer tab to autocomplete the command. How do Iget rid of this? | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | ani: this isnt the command that was given. and you should pipe the ouput into pastebinit or nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:01 |
| Guest21 | geirha Ok works! (y) | 14:01 |
| Exterminador | is there a way to check if a process/PID is really assigned just to a specific core, after using taskset? | 14:02 |
| === skr is now known as Guest31806 | ||
| ani | @tomreyn i can't get the error for journalctl | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | ani: just run this, paste the url here: journalctl -xe | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:06 |
| traekili | elichai2, i think that xclip could help do that but not 100% sure. like if you could map middle mouse to a script that uses it so it moves the print cmd to the clipboard. not sure because i dont know if it would paste | 14:06 |
| traekili | depends | 14:06 |
| elichai2 | hmmm | 14:06 |
| elichai2 | there's actually another problem. my mouse has 2 whell scrollers. a vertical and horizontal. I tried changing the horizontal to be a vertical too with xinput but I failed | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | ani: what you do there is to run the command given in the error message ("journalctl -xe", right?) and push its output into termbin.com (a paste bin service for hosting short text snippets, such as logs), using the 'nc' (netcat) utility. | 14:07 |
| elichai2 | traekili: leftyfb maybe this one will be easier to fix? haha | 14:08 |
| Exterminador | can I add a 'custom' command to a systemd script, to just echo the result of "taskset -p $MAINPID"? | 14:11 |
| ani | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5Yzj3JvWf4/ | 14:16 |

| leftyfb | ani: which version of ubuntu is this? | 14:18 |
| ani | 18.10 | 14:18 |
| leftyfb | ani: server or desktop? | 14:18 |
| ani | LENOVO | 14:19 |
| leftyfb | ani: Do you have Ubuntu with a desktop interface installed or is this just ubuntu server with console only? | 14:19 |
| === Guest31806 is now known as skr | ||
| ani | @leftyfb Ubuntu with desktop interface installed | 14:21 |
| leftyfb | ani: why are you trying to install/run apache? | 14:21 |
| ani | <leftyfb> To run database in xamp | 14:23 |
| leftyfb | ani: how did you install apache? | 14:23 |
| ani | lefttyfb From digitalocean. | 14:25 |
| leftyfb | ani: what were the commands you ran to install apache? (please try to answer quickly. It's really painful waiting 2 minutes between answers) | 14:26 |
| ani | see it https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04 | 14:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | ani: Notice anything odd about that title? | 14:27 |
| ani | this command was rum by me | 14:27 |
| leftyfb | ani: Are you running a Digitial Ocean droplet? | 14:27 |
| ani | yes | 14:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | ani: First, the tutorial is for Ubuntu 16.04... you claimed to be on 18.10... you should match the documentation to the software you are trying to run on | 14:28 |
| ani | This was runing before updation of the ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.10 | 14:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | ani: Second, we don't support Digital Ocean droplets here. You need to use the support channels provided by Digital Ocean for help/ | 14:28 |
| leftyfb | ani: ok, you REALLY need to give us all your details up front | 14:28 |
| ani | ok | 14:29 |
| ani | What you want from | 14:29 |
| leftyfb | ani: it sounds like you upgrade wiped out your configs for apache. If it were me, I would create a new droplet with Ubuntu SERVER 18.04 and reinstall and restore from backups | 14:29 |
| ani | Ok | 14:30 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: Where is it said that DO droplets aren't supported here? | 14:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | zeropoint: This is not a debate channel, discussion available in #ubuntu-discuss if you like | 14:31 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: No. If you're going to tell someone that their particular host renders them unsupportable, you're going to provide where that's stated. | 14:32 |
| lotuspsychje | zeropoint: join #ubuntu-discuss | 14:32 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: Because otherwise, and I believe this is the case, you're full of it. | 14:32 |

| zeropoint | lotuspsychje: And you're telling someone that they're unsupportable because of their host. | 14:33 |

| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: You can spam those all you want. It's a legitimate question. Provide where that's stated, or be quiet. | 14:33 |
| leftyfb | ani: why can't you "restore and reinstall"? | 14:34 |
| ani | How can i restore and reinstall | 14:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | zeropoint: The host has nothing to do with it. Ubuntu as provided by Digital Ocean is not the same Ubuntu as provided directly from Canonical. Digital Ocean has modified their installations of Ubuntu for their platform. We are not provided with the documentation or necessary information about the changes they have altered. There is your answer. Further discussion will occur in #ubuntu-discuss as that is the proper | 14:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | forum for this discussion. | 14:35 |
| leftyfb | ani: Follow Digital Ocean instructions on creating a new droplet or reinstalling Ubuntu 18.04 onto your exiting one. Then reinstall your applications like you did before and refer to either your previous droplet if you kept it and went with a new one or refer to your backup configs to reconfigure it the way you like/need | 14:35 |
| ani | ok | 14:36 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: Provide a source, please. Otherwise, be quiet if you're unwilling to help. Especially due to the fact that you're factually wrong. | 14:36 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: And no, I'm not going to take this out of the public eye. I'm going to discuss this right here. | 14:36 |

| leftyfb | zeropoint: technically, the very nature of VPS is a shared and custom kernel across all droplets. That right there is a pretty big change. | 14:37 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: That's also factually inaccurate. DO droplets run their own kernels. | 14:37 |
| leftyfb | zeropoint: what I said is not inaccurate. Maybe I was wrong to assume DO droplets were VPS. But I am right about VPS. | 14:38 |
| zeropoint | VPS is a product term, not a technical thing. | 14:38 |
| ani | leftyfb I tried it but not able to install apache2 or start it | 14:38 |
| leftyfb | ani: you tried what exactly? | 14:38 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: So no, you're not. That's my problem. People are telling users that they're unsupported based on invalid data and are unwilling to provide a source for this supposed "policy." That is NOT right. | 14:39 |
| leftyfb | zeropoint: Which web hosting company are you or have you worked for? | 14:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | zeropoint: ENOUGH, #ubuntu-disuss is just as public as this channel and is the appropriate forum for this dicussion. | 14:39 |
| zeropoint | pragmaticenigma: No. | 14:40 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: Not a reasonable response. Google "VPS" and see how many KVM responses you get. They all run their own kernels. | 14:40 |
| Seveas | leftyfb: vps literally means "virtual private server", a virtual machine running its own kernel. Which kernel can run on such a vps *may* be limited, but digital ocean vps'es are not limited in that way and behave just like physical servers, except that they're virtual machines. | 14:41 |
| ani | this is https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/install-and-configure-apache#3 | 14:42 |
| blackflow | Xen based VPS used to shared a kernel, that's no longer common setup | 14:42 |
| blackflow | and by "share" I mean image file. they still run their own instance in their VM space | 14:42 |
| zeropoint | Xen and OpenVZ are shared kernel. KVM, which is most common these days, are not. All are VPS. Anyway, this portion of the discussion IS off-topic. Sorry about that. | 14:42 |
| Seveas | blackflow: that's what I meant with the limitations :) And it's still fairly common (AWS) | 14:42 |
| blackflow | OpenVZ is OS-level virt, it literally is a shared kernel | 14:43 |
| zeropoint | AWS moved to KVM a while back. | 14:43 |
| Seveas | zeropoint: oh? Damn. I'm behind on the times | 14:43 |
| zeropoint | Anyway! | 14:43 |
| blackflow | Seveas: I doubt anyone does it these days, tehy all moved to KVM or are using Xen with pvgrub | 14:43 |
| leftyfb | Again, I admitted that I was wrong in assuming DO used a shared kernel. Though It looks like I was right about DO using a custom(internal) kernel which is not supported here. https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/kernel/ | 14:44 |
| Seveas | blackflow: yeah, people like adding more layers of isolation, and for good reasons :) | 14:44 |
| Seveas | leftyfb: that has nothing to do with apache though | 14:44 |
| blackflow | so what's the problem here, I scrolled up but can't find the orig question | 14:44 |
| Seveas | user with an apache problem, and people unwilling to support because it's on DO | 14:44 |
| leftyfb | ani: what exactly did you try? | 14:44 |
| leftyfb | I've been supporting them this whole time | 14:45 |
| leftyfb | albeit very slowly | 14:45 |
| zeropoint | Seveas: Not just unwilling, but telling them that they're unsupportable in this channel. | 14:45 |
| marcoagpinto | guys?! Has Thunderbird 60.5.1 been released already in the updates? | 14:46 |
| blackflow | well, DOs per se are not. Ubuntu installations that are not modifed with unsupported software, are not. DO dropplets aren't in that category afaik | 14:46 |
| blackflow | (they don't modify Ubuntu) | 14:46 |
| leftyfb | blackflow: they do not run a stock kernel | 14:46 |
| leftyfb | technically | 14:46 |
| blackflow | OVH did and got sued by Canonical. DO would've suffered the same fate if they did. | 14:46 |
| blackflow | leftyfb: the page you linked doesn't state so, though | 14:47 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: 4.15.0-45-generic? | 14:47 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: have you tried to look for and install pending updates uon your (yet) unknown ubuntu version, have you looked at https://packages.ubuntu.com , have you run rmadison? | 14:47 |
| blackflow | it uses a bit weird term "internal" but from what I gather, that's native kernel supplied by the VM | 14:47 |
| leftyfb | "All Droplets created after March 2017 use internal kernels by default" | 14:47 |
| lotuspsychje | we seen alot of those digitalocean users before with weird kernels here before, def not !mainline | 14:47 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: Internal = distro-provided. | 14:47 |
| blackflow | leftyfb: weird terminology but it means OS native for the VM | 14:47 |
| Seveas | ani: your apache install is missing config files. Could you pastebin the output of `find /etc/apache2` please? Proper instructions on how to try to fix your issue will depend in what files remain. Whether you need to reinstall is yet to be determined | 14:47 |
| leftyfb | ok, I could be wrong about that then as well. Bad way to word it | 14:47 |
| blackflow | totally bad | 14:48 |
| zeropoint | leftyfb: Agreed there. | 14:48 |
| Seveas | lotuspsychje: a custom kernel does not delete apache config files though :D | 14:48 |
| marcoagpinto | tomreyn: 16.04, 18.04 and 18.10. But they are VMs in the computer that is in the closet | 14:48 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 14:48 |
| Seveas | (well, it could, but I'd expect DO's kernel not to) | 14:48 |
| zeropoint | This is why I was actively challenging the assertion that DO automatically makes you unsupportable. And rather than anyone listening, they want to shuffle people off to a different channel. Absolutely unacceptable. | 14:49 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: so <ou did check whether it's available already? | 14:49 |
| tomreyn | *you | 14:49 |
| Seveas | zeropoint: agreed, that's why I spoke up too. But let's calm down a bit again and focus on supporting the user :) | 14:49 |
| marcoagpinto | tomreyn: :( I am a lazy arse | 14:49 |
| zeropoint | Seveas: I'm next to clueless about Apache, so I'll let someone with expertise in that area continue. | 14:49 |
| Seveas | !info thunderbird | 14:50 |
| leftyfb | Seveas: ani is running Ubuntu 18.10 desktop on a droplet upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 with incompatibilities with 18.04+ apache configs. At this point, it will be a LOT easier and quicker and more productive to install Ubuntu 18.04 server and reconfigure. 18.10 will be unsupported in 5 months. Probably not the best thing to be running on a hosted server. | 14:50 |
| ubottu | thunderbird (source: thunderbird): Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter. In component main, is optional. Version 1:60.4.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 42505 kB, installed size 167225 kB | 14:50 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: be less lazy then | 14:50 |
| marcoagpinto | yes | 14:50 |
| blackflow | though technically #ubuntu-server IS a better place for apache problems | 14:50 |
| leftyfb | ^ | 14:50 |
| blackflow | (so shuffling users to other chans ain't that bad idea in this case) | 14:50 |
| lotuspsychje | blackflow: he's on a lenovo desktop...non-lts | 14:50 |
| marcoagpinto | but take the laptop out of the closet and do all the tasks gives too much effort, just to check the Thunderbird version | 14:50 |
| zeropoint | Oh, I thought that was for internal discussions about the server release. | 14:50 |
| zeropoint | TIL. | 14:50 |
| Seveas | leftyfb: could be. The reason I asked for configs is to make sure we keep what's needed before suggesting a reinstall. I don't generally trust people to have made backups beforehand :) | 14:51 |
| blackflow | nah. and laptops can be servers too. "server" is not just a rack mounted thing. it's any machien that fulfills a "server" role. running apache does that | 14:51 |
| leftyfb | Seveas: It doesn't sound like they have backups. And they are missing their /etc/apache2/apache.conf, that's the current issue. | 14:51 |
| Seveas | leftyfb: and if that's the only missing file, a reinstall with force-confmiss may fix it. But if there's more missing, we'll have to go more radical | 14:52 |
| leftyfb | blackflow: running the desktop version on a remote instance to host a "xampp" is probably not the best use of resources and probably chosen out of inexperience(assumption) | 14:52 |
| blackflow | probably not, but it's not wrong per se | 14:53 |
| leftyfb | $wrong ;) | 14:53 |

| marcoagpinto | it is still the old version | 14:54 |
| ani | i have some missing file /etc/apache2/apache.conf | 14:55 |
| leftyfb | marcoagpinto: is there a specific feature you need in 60.5 that isn't available in 60.4? | 14:55 |
| leftyfb | ani: Do you have a backup of your previous config? | 14:55 |
| marcoagpinto | yes, my add-on, the British speller is a WebExtension | 14:55 |
| marcoagpinto | it requires 60.5+ | 14:55 |
| ani | No | 14:56 |
| Seveas | ani: could you pastebin the output of `find /etc/apache2` please? Proper instructions on how to try to fix your issue will depend in what files remain. Whether you need to reinstall is yet to be determined | 14:56 |
| leftyfb | ani: ok, step #1 would be to make a backup of all your configs in /etc/apache2. Then we can continue troubleshooting. | 14:57 |
| Seveas | ani: while you're at it, pastebin the output of `dpkg -l` too, to see if there's packages in a bad state | 14:57 |
| ani | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NDny5BdC8S/ | 14:58 |
| blackflow | oopsie daisie | 14:58 |
| leftyfb | heh | 14:58 |
| leftyfb | no configs | 14:58 |
| Seveas | ok, so absolutely no apache config files remaining, that's... really broken :) | 14:58 |
| leftyfb | ani: it will be 100% quicker to just reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 server (do you really need desktop) and reconfigure | 14:58 |
| Seveas | hopefully not too many broken packages, eagerly awaiting the dpkg output | 14:59 |
| leftyfb | ani: I would take backups of anything left that you want to keep (database?) | 14:59 |
| Seveas | leftyfb: that depends on how much data there is on that server that should be kept | 14:59 |
| leftyfb | ani: Can you explain why it takes so long for you to respond? | 15:01 |
| blackflow | wait, why suggest whole OS reinstall, when apparently reinstalling apache would suffice? did something else happen? I read the backlog but I'm totally confused now. is this a laptop or a digital ocean droplet? is it LAMP or XAMP (OSX...)? | 15:01 |
| ani_ | How to i configer ubuntu 18.04 version | 15:02 |
| ani_ | of server | 15:03 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: do there are new features in 60.5.1 which your extension depends on? | 15:03 |
| blackflow | ani_: that question is as broad as asking "how do I drive a car" | 15:03 |
| Seveas | ani_: by answering the questions we ask. Your system is in a bad state, and we'll need to figure out how to fix it. | 15:03 |
| blackflow | ani_: you'll have to be more specific in what you want to achieve. | 15:03 |
| tomreyn | s/do/so/ | 15:03 |
| marcoagpinto | tomreyn: it is a WebExtension | 15:03 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 15:03 |
| marcoagpinto | no longer a legacy add-on | 15:03 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: and web extension support is introduced in exactly this thunderbird version? | 15:04 |
| ani_ | ok | 15:04 |
| marcoagpinto | 60.5 | 15:04 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 15:04 |
| marcoagpinto | it should be at 60.0 ESR but Mozilla screwed up | 15:04 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: i see. strange version number for such a substantial change. have you tried the snap? | 15:04 |
| marcoagpinto | they swapped the hunspell filenames | 15:04 |
| tomreyn | i see | 15:05 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: the snap is 60.3 | 15:05 |
| marcoagpinto | then they took one or two months to release 60.5 | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: oh hadnt checked yet | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: so i guess oyu'll need to try the upstream builds to test the extension you are developing | 15:05 |
| OerHeks | or use https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ ..? | 15:06 |
| tomreyn | those are the upstream builds ;) | 15:06 |
| marcoagpinto | tomreyn: I am a Windows user... I am just concerned about the people who send me e-mail "it doesn't work blah blah" | 15:06 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 15:06 |
| OerHeks | oh oke, i was thinking about debian | 15:06 |
| tomreyn | OerHeks: i see, no i think ubuntu's thunderbird comes directly from mozilla. | 15:07 |
| ani_ | but i con't get through that | 15:07 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: i guess there's no way around it for now. | 15:07 |
| marcoagpinto | oki | 15:07 |

| Seveas | not entirely surprising to find such issues. Try grabbing the sources from that repo and recompiling (apt-get source, apt-get build-dep and dpkg-buildpackage are your friends here) to link against the right versions of libraries for Ubuntu | 15:19 |

| blackflow | wasn't there an apt command to install all build deps for a package? | 15:26 |
| hans_ | don't know what dget does but i can guess | 15:27 |
| Seveas | oh, I missed that one. hans_ do this one before the buildpackage: sudo apt-get build-dep codeblocks | 15:27 |
| blackflow | apt-get build-dep .... I wonder if it works with dsc files | 15:27 |

| bsdpartition | hello, does anyone know how to mount openbsd (6.4) partitions on ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| bsdpartition | a simple mount either does not display the files, or comes with an error | 15:56 |
| hans_ | Seveas, meanwhile i'm running on a laptop running on battery, meaning the cpu runs much slower to lower power consumption, and.. https://i.imgur.com/9IsbHMm.png | 15:57 |
| Seveas | bsdpartition: depends on the filesystem on the partition. | 15:57 |
| hans_ | and it's running in a VM wich has performance overhead, and it only has 2 cores and only 1 GB ram and.. stuff | 15:57 |
| bsdpartition | alright, how do i get the partition type on them? | 15:58 |
| bsdpartition | Seveas | 15:58 |
| hans_ | bsdpartition, iirc echo "print all" | parted /dev/sda ? | 15:58 |
| Seveas | hans_: yeah, building large c++ projects requires patience. Build time for me (slow laptop, but not vm, and I'm on ac power) was from a minute before I gave you the dpkg-buildpackage commands to half a minute before I sent the message that it works :) | 15:58 |
| bsdpartition | i will try | 15:58 |
| blackflow | bsdpartition: you mean filesystem.... it's probably UFS and you're out of luck. there's some _readonly_ support but it's.... not good. | 15:58 |
| bsdpartition | read only would be more than enough | 15:59 |
| === Simon_NL is now known as SimonNL | ||
| bsdpartition | lol parted only list a single partition and sees its filesystem as 'sun-ufs' | 16:00 |
| hans_ | did you write /dev/sda or did you write /dev/sda1 ? | 16:00 |
| bsdpartition | i did /dev/sda | 16:00 |
| Seveas | bsdpartition: https://askubuntu.com/questions/85154/mount-ufs-filesystem | 16:00 |
| hans_ | bsdpartition, after running `modprobe ufs`, you probably need to run `sudo partprobe /dev/sda` too | 16:01 |
| bsdpartition | i did try that answer | 16:01 |
| Seveas | what was the result? | 16:01 |
| blackflow | I'm not sure type=ufs2 is valid for openbsd, I think it was something else, can't remember now | 16:01 |
| bsdpartition | i will try again with ufstype=ufs instead | 16:02 |
| blackflow | bsdpartition: if all fails, fire up an openbsd VM and mount the disk there natively. then access through the VM via whatever protocol you want. | 16:02 |
| bsdpartition | result: incorrect filesystem | 16:02 |
| bsdpartition | lets see if partprobe does | 16:03 |
| blackflow | bsdpartition: try ufstype=44bsd or any ohter listed in the manpage | 16:03 |
| bsdpartition | trying 44bsd | 16:04 |
| bsdpartition | oh man | 16:04 |
| bsdpartition | 44bsd did it | 16:04 |
| bsdpartition | thank you so much blackflow | 16:04 |
| bsdpartition | and Seveas and hans_ | 16:04 |
| Marz | anyone know of a good ssh app that can save commands? | 16:04 |
| Seveas | bsdpartition: you're welcome! Enjoy your ufs :) | 16:05 |
| Seveas | Marz: what do you mean with 'save commands'? With ssh you (usually) start a remote shell, and that shell's history can be saved as normal. | 16:05 |
| blackflow | Marz: aside from Seveas said, run `script` and it'll start a new shell and record all of input/ouput to a file you designated. | 16:08 |
| blackflow | as history only records issued commands, `script` records all stdin+stdout+stderr | 16:08 |
| hans_ | Seveas, hmm https://i.imgur.com/Zx8do89.png | 16:11 |
| Seveas | hans_: that's expected. The .deb files are now available in ~/cb/ | 16:11 |
| Seveas | it' | 16:12 |
| Seveas | it's trying to sign the .dsc file as Jens, but you're not Jens and don't have his keys :D | 16:12 |
| hans_ | so now i need to coerce Jens into handing over his private keys? | 16:13 |
| hans_ | (j/k) | 16:13 |
| Seveas | hehe :D No, you just need to sudo dpkg -i codeblocks_17.12_amd64.deb codeblocks-common_17.12_all.deb codeblocks-libwxcontrib0_17.12_amd64.deb libcodeblocks0_17.12_amd64.deb | 16:13 |
| Seveas | it may complain about wanting xterm. sudo apt-get install xterm solves that. | 16:14 |
| hans_ | Seveas, huh, that actually worked! thanks (used `apt install` over `dpkg -i` but still) | 16:16 |
| Seveas | hans_: you're welcome! | 16:25 |

| mDonchev_ | For some reason my Ubuntu 18.04 freezes when I have Chrome (or Firefox) and the memory usage reaches above 98%. | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: how much ram do you have? | 17:49 |
| mDonchev_ | The mouse is barely moving ... what could it be? It happens very often ... how can I prevent that from happening | 17:49 |
| mDonchev_ | 2GB | 17:49 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: thats a bit low for gnome im affraid and for modern browsing | 17:49 |
| blackflow | that's very much too low | 17:49 |
| mDonchev_ | i prefer scratching on the HDD than just freezing | 17:50 |
| blackflow | sounds like a swapstorm is hogging the system down | 17:50 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: have you considered a lubuntu/xubuntu ? | 17:50 |
| mDonchev_ | no | 17:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !flavors | mDonchev_ have a look | 17:50 |
| ubottu | mDonchev_ have a look: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 17:50 |
| mDonchev_ | how is that different than the normal ubuntu? | 17:50 |
| traekili | less resources used | 17:50 |

| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: from your existing ubuntu you can test other desktops, but we reccomend if you like one, to clean install the flavor | 17:53 |
| mDonchev_ | Can I just setup someting on my ubuntu just to stop freezing even if it writes constantly to the hdd? | 17:53 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: if you dont mind testing, you could install lubuntu-desktop for example | 17:53 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: but in your case, i would go fresh lubuntu 18.04 and perhaps minimal too | 17:54 |
| VuurDraak | hi everybody, i started Ubuntu and out of the blue without installing new stuff, I get a black screen in the GUI, i initialy found an error concerning systemd and i --reinstall 'ed it as some files where missing, i purged the nvidia driver reinstalled it, reinstalled xserver-xorg & unity-control-center & gnome-control-center, cp back a previous working xorg.conf, but nothing seems to work and i can not realy see any erros in Xorg.0.log, anybody got | 17:54 |
| VuurDraak | any idea what other stuff X11 is depending on that i could try to reinstall ? | 17:54 |
| leftyfb | VuurDraak: what version of ubuntu did you install? | 17:55 |
| VuurDraak | 14.04 LTS | 17:56 |
| mDonchev_ | lotuspsychje, what is minima? | 17:56 |

| mDonchev_ | I have it setup so well I dont want to do that again | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: 18.04 and higher has now a minimal option during setup, saving spaces, so you can chosoe yourself what to install and whatnot | 17:57 |
| blackflow | nnrd: well your question makes no sense. it's not clear what you're asking about. | 17:57 |
| leftyfb | nnrd: what sort of "weird" certificates? Do you have examples? | 17:57 |
| blackflow | "certifications standard in mozilla firefox from scratch" -- what does that mean? | 17:57 |
| lotuspsychje | mDonchev_: as desktop environment, you need something very lightweight on 2g ram, whatever you choose | 17:58 |
| leftyfb | mDonchev_: you are limited by hardware. There is no workaround to get modern UI's to perform well on inadequate hardware resources. Either use a less resource intensive UI like lxde or xfce like suggestion or get new hardware | 17:58 |
| zeropoint | nnrd: Give an example, please? | 17:58 |
| leftyfb | blackflow: the default CA's installed with firefox | 17:58 |
| blackflow | btw firefox has no CAs on its own if thats what you're asking. there's ca-certificates package that from the mozilla project and it provides all the mozilla trusted CAs | 17:58 |
| blackflow | leftyfb: ca-certificates ones? the CAs? | 17:58 |

| VuurDraak | well the error lofg was complaining it could not find systemctl since that is part of systemd i installed it after searching online | 18:20 |
| ioria | wrong | 18:20 |
| blackflow | ideally you shouldn't be using systemd in trusty. upgrade to a newer ubuntu where systemd is default and well integrated. | 18:20 |
| VuurDraak | maybe but i could not find any other thing that pointed to a problem | 18:20 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, you probably broke your system | 18:21 |
| VuurDraak | its also weird as previously the OS runned just fine, i started it again later and poof, no more gui | 18:21 |

| VuurDraak | i guesse something random is corrupted by i have no clue what | 18:22 |
| blackflow | wait, is this WSL? | 18:22 |
| VuurDraak | i can not chat and be in linux atm | 18:22 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, yes, you can | 18:22 |
| VuurDraak | im first going to make an 18.04 boot usb stick | 18:22 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, yo uopen another tty, install weechat (or another text chat app) | 18:23 |
| VuurDraak | what cli irc client is there to install :) ? | 18:23 |
| ioria | ^ | 18:23 |
| ioria | or irssi | 18:24 |
| blackflow | irssi ftw | 18:25 |

| VuurDraak | k thanks | 18:27 |
| bwailer | hello. A friend and I are using a server at my house but we can not get him to be able to connect from his house | 18:28 |
| xamithan | check the firewall | 18:29 |
| bwailer | Firewall on server or computer? | 18:30 |
| bwailer | there is no firewall set up on the server | 18:30 |
| tomreyn | bwailera network firewall rather. you may need to setup port forwarding on your router | 18:31 |
| bwailer | I have set up port forwarding on the router. We have all the credentials. He is using Putty to try to get in but hostname/ip address is what is holding us up | 18:32 |
| zeropoint | Is it connecting at all? | 18:33 |
| xamithan | "holding us up" Can he telnet to the port | 18:34 |
| bwailer | I honestly do not have the answer to that question. | 18:34 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: this returns your (your routers') WAN / public / external / internet ip address (which may change over time) https://ipv4.myip.info/ | 18:34 |
| blackflow | there could also be ISPs firewalls in effect | 18:35 |
| xamithan | Possibly, kind of rare depending on port | 18:35 |
| johnnyfive | Howdy! I'm trying to recreate a flat-file repository using an absolute Suite Component entry in my sources.list, however in Bionic i've started to receive the "W: Conflicting distribution:" error due to bionic now trying to match the release to the codename in the Release file | 18:35 |
| VuurDraak | using a weird port should not get blocked by an isp | 18:35 |
| zeropoint | Some ISPs block well-known ports. | 18:36 |
| zeropoint | A former ISP of mine blocked 80/tcp inbound. | 18:36 |
| JimBuntu | zeropoint, yup, some block most anything < 1024 | 18:36 |
| blackflow | my ISP blocks all incoming SYN packets. I chose that, btw. | 18:36 |
| johnnyfive | is there a way around this? Or what's the canonical way to create a flat file repository for Bionic? I've determined I can get around the error by changing the "Codename" to "main/" in my Release file, but i'm not 100% sure of the affects of that | 18:36 |
| VuurDraak | yeh use a port 1024+ | 18:36 |
| zeropoint | JimBuntu: I've never encountered one THAT bad, but I'm sure there are. | 18:36 |
| maxLeet` | hi all, updated my system yesterday and now im having resolv issues. seems like ipv6 is set to default but netplan isn't working. I manually set my resolv.conf but every network command gives me an connection time out error. | 18:36 |
| bwailer | when I try not on my network I get "Server unexpectedly closed network connection" | 18:37 |
| tomreyn | johnnyfive: can you show the config you have there? | 18:38 |
| johnnyfive | which config do you want to look at? apt.conf used for apt-ftparchive, or the Release file, or the sources.list? | 18:38 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: which service is it you're trying to make accessible. or which protocol is spoken there? | 18:38 |
| johnnyfive | tomreyn, or all of the above | 18:39 |
| kinghat | to install a new theme on ubuntu you have to use gnome tweaks tool? | 18:39 |
| zeropoint | bwailer: Are you forwarding the correct port to the correct internal address? There are a ton of things this could be. | 18:39 |
| kinghat | there isnt a native UI for switching themes? | 18:39 |
| tomreyn | johnnyfive: hmm, actually i'm not familiar with apt-ftparchive. could you ask in #ubuntu-server instead ? | 18:39 |
| johnnyfive | tomreyn, yea, didn't know that existed. Thanks | 18:40 |
| tomreyn | yw | 18:40 |
| bwailer | tomreyn, I am trying to give him full access as we are trying to work together. And honestly I am confused with the protocal. | 18:40 |
| JimBuntu | bwailer, as in SSH ? | 18:41 |
| VuurDraak | kinghat: cant you switch themes from the standard options thingy ? Where you can also tweak the screen saver etc ? | 18:41 |
| tomreyn | bwailerfull access meaning ssh access and root access? | 18:41 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: full access meaning ssh access and root access? | 18:41 |
| bwailer | zeropoint. I am forwarding on port 80. when he tries to sign in with the public ip it still does not work | 18:41 |
| zeropoint | bwailer: That isn't SSH... | 18:41 |
| bwailer | I can ssh from my home network but not out of my home network | 18:42 |
| zeropoint | SSH defaults to port 22. | 18:42 |
| JimBuntu | bwailer, Note: Port 80 is the MOST common port to be blocked by ISPs. | 18:42 |
| zeropoint | Also that. | 18:42 |
| bwailer | I can SSh into it from my home network | 18:42 |
| blackflow | and port 25. they hate it. | 18:42 |
| xamithan | Why you sshing to the http port? so strange | 18:42 |
| kinghat | VuurDraak: i dont usually use ubuntu proper, but ubuntu/kde. i dont know what you are talking about. | 18:43 |
| xamithan | Probably need to change it if you want it to work outside network | 18:43 |
| zeropoint | bwailer: Your client is using port 22 by default. If you've forwarded the wrong port, then it won't work. | 18:43 |
| bwailer | JimBuntu you think I should change port? What advice on a port do you have | 18:43 |
| zeropoint | Port 22 is the default and well-known SSH port. | 18:44 |
| bwailer | zeropointwe have tried port 22 as well as 8- | 18:44 |
| zeropoint | You've forwarded 80. Port 22 won't do anything from outside. | 18:44 |
| zeropoint | Until you forward it correctly. | 18:44 |
| VuurDraak | kinghat: i got it in my side bar so idk how to search for it in the dash maybe 'option' ? but I can open 'options' for ubuntu, where all kind of stuff is located, for network, keyboard screensaver etc , i thought one of the options you could alter the them, but not sure as im not in ubuntu atm | 18:44 |
| JimBuntu | bwailer, I would suggest using a port above 1024. They are simply less common to be blocked. | 18:44 |
| blackflow | (and attacked by bots) | 18:44 |
| bwailer | JimBuntu. I will give it a try | 18:44 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: can you confirm that you are trying to have your friend ssh into the server? because i dont think you did, yet. | 18:44 |
| zeropoint | (the security risk of which is next to zero) | 18:45 |
| JimBuntu | blackflow, yes , very much so! | 18:45 |
| bwailer | tomreyn, yes we have been working on trying to get him in for days | 18:45 |
| zeropoint | Try forwarding port 2222 or something to port 22 internally. And he has to specify the port on the client side. | 18:46 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: maybe we talked about this yesterday. i was talking to someone and it took a while to find out who is trying to connect wher actually, and it turned out the server is actually a VM or VPS or dedicated server (don't remember) hosted with some company in a data center, directly connected to the internet. and not a home server at the persons' home, within their LAN. but i'm not sure this was you, or whethet his is really correct. | 18:47 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah bwailer was here yesterday too | 18:48 |
| bwailer | I doubt it was me. | 18:48 |
| VuurDraak | i created a 18.04 boot usb, i will first boot back to ubuntu 14.04 cli and install/start irssi brb o/ | 18:48 |
| xamithan | Maybe ask for screenshots in those circumstances. a ss -tulpn | grep sshd even | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, cool. | 18:48 |
| bwailer | I was here but I found no answers to get to where we want to be | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: but you got a way forward now, right? | 18:49 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn, I changed my port and still can not connect from a different networl | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: where did you "change [your] port"? | 18:51 |
| JimBuntu | bwailer, /var/log/auth.log Does it show connect attempts? What about a tcpdump of the port in question? Router logs? Need to figure out where it's failing. | 18:51 |
| * JimBuntu will leave it to tomreyn - You are in great hands bwailer | 18:52 | |
| bwailer | tomrey, I changed it on my router | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: so, first of all, just to be sure, the server your friend is trying to access is in your home, right? | 18:52 |
| === vuurdraak is now known as VuurDraak | ||
| bwailer | JimBuntu I will try that | 18:52 |
| VuurDraak | hellu :) | 18:52 |
| bwailer | tomreyn, yes it is. It is in my bedroom | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: ok. when you changed the port in your router, you may have been able to specify both an inbound (WAN / Internet) and an internal (LAN / your home network) port. did you have this option? if so, did you set the same or different ports there? | 18:54 |
| xamithan | Are you sure you aren't double NAT'd ? Like you got a cable modem that does wifi | 18:54 |
| xamithan | Then another router | 18:54 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn, yes I changed both to the same thing | 18:55 |
| VuurDraak | is it posible to copy a text file to a past bin thingy from the CLI inside ubuntu :') ? | 18:55 |
| lotuspsychje | !pastebinit | VuurDraak | 18:55 |
| ubottu | VuurDraak: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit | 18:55 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay can you say which port this is, or do you prefer not to (either is fine) | 18:55 |
| blackflow | VuurDraak: cat <that file> | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:55 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn it is at 1125 | 18:56 |
| n3tburst | hello, i borked up my install and now i cannot boot into live usb anymore | 18:56 |
| n3tburst | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1798171 | 18:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1798171 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "System fails to boot with \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found" [Undecided,Fix released] | 18:56 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, so you have internet originated traffic to your WAN / router port 1125 forwarded to your server in your LAN, on the same port, so 1125 there, too. now you'd need to make sure that something actually listens on this port, too. | 18:57 |
| n3tburst | i tried to copy /EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi to /EFI/BOOT/mmx64.efi but no luck | 18:57 |
| hans_ | after installing mysql-server then deleting it then installing mariadb-server then deleting it, then trying to install mysql-server again, this happens when i do: apt remove --purge mysql-server.* mariadb-server.* ; apt install mysql-server | 18:57 |
| hans_ | ; gives me this http://paste.debian.net/plain/1068768 | 18:57 |
| hans_ | installing & uninstalling mariadb-server seems to have broken the installation script for mysql-server | 18:57 |
| hans_ | (18.04) | 18:57 |
| hans_ | any idea how to fix it? | 18:57 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: you probably want to make the ssh server listen there, did you do this, yet? if not, yet, this gives us an oppportunity to test. | 18:58 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn, I do need to make sure someone is listening to this port | 18:58 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: can you run this on your server? nc -vv -l -p 1125 | 18:59 |
| hans_ | (just so we're clear, the installation for mysql-server worked fine until i installed & uninstalled mariadb-server ) | 18:59 |
| VuurDraak | i was asked to do a uname lsb_release etc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/fqCGb3dCz8 | 18:59 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: this is a small proigram which just opens this port and listens for incoming connections, reporting who is connecting and what they transfer. | 18:59 |
| lotuspsychje | VuurDraak: wrong link | 19:00 |
| hans_ | tomreyn, so.. nc -vvvvv -l 9999 ? :p | 19:00 |
| tomreyn | hans_: similar ;) | 19:00 |
| bwailer | -it says command not found | 19:01 |
| VuurDraak | there needs to be an extra / behind the link | 19:01 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: hmm, what does "which nc" return? | 19:01 |
| VuurDraak | http://paste.ubuntu.com/fqCGb3dCz8/ | 19:01 |
| bwailer | the server says -vv command not found | 19:01 |
| hans_ | VuurDraak, think your link got corrupted. > The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. | 19:02 |
| VuurDraak | ow i misseed a /p/ | 19:02 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: you seem to have missed "nc" | 19:02 |
| VuurDraak | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fqCGb3dCz8/ | 19:03 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: here's the command i suggested to run again: nc -vv -l -p 1125 | 19:03 |
| hans_ | bwailer, what about `type nc` ? | 19:03 |
| VuurDraak | thats what u get when u need to retype stuff manulay :') | 19:03 |
| bwailer | sorry I will try again | 19:03 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: seem to work | 19:04 |
| VuurDraak | my problem is that i get a black screen/GUI and i can not see what is wrong in the log files | 19:04 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: so we have successfully tested connectivity from the internet to your server | 19:05 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn, how can i get that so my friend can get onto my server | 19:05 |
| bwailer | you are helping so much thank you | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: now you need to make sure that your ssh server listens on this port, so that your friend can get a shell | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: do you have a preferred in-terminal (non GUI) text editor? | 19:06 |
| bwailer | yes i do | 19:06 |
| bwailer | I basically use nano | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, run this then: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:07 |
| tomreyn | don't midd the 'd' in sshd_config | 19:07 |
| tomreyn | don't miss the 'd' in sshd_config | 19:07 |
| hans_ | huh, this fixed my mysql installation: apt remove --purge mysql-client.* mysql-common.* ; | 19:07 |
| bwailer | Tomreyn, I ran it and it shows me much stuff. | 19:08 |
| hans_ | (then i was able to run `apt install mysql-server;` without issues) | 19:08 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: then press ctrl-w to search for "Port" | 19:08 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: without the quotation marks | 19:08 |
| hans_ | tomreyn, don't miss the `.` in rm -rf ./ | 19:09 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: to find more hits, press ctrl-w again and just enter then | 19:09 |
| tomreyn | hans_: please don't post such commands here | 19:09 |
| VuurDraak | my xorg log is http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zxDQ2HGwkC/ | 19:10 |
| bwailer | I am doing all of it but unfortunately it is confusing me | 19:10 |
| VuurDraak | i got no clue why i no longer see the gui buut get a black screen | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, we can try a different approach. you can quit the editor using ctrl-x, then n (to not save) | 19:11 |
| bwailer | cool, I did it | 19:11 |
| bwailer | well got out of nano | 19:11 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: run this and report the url: grep -i 'port ' /etc/ssh/sshd_config | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:12 |
| === ls is now known as Guest84237 | ||
| bwailer | it is saying no such file or directory | 19:14 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: you mistyped, try again | 19:14 |
| bwailer | will do. | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: how do you enter these commands i type here? can you not just copy + paste them? | 19:15 |
| grkblood13 | For some reason when I type commands in the terminal window theyre now being underlined and Ican no longer tab to autocomplete the command. How do Iget rid of this? | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | it's a bit unsafe to do so but then if you trust me enough to not trick you there then you could just copy + paste them. | 19:15 |
| anjen | Is this Ubuntu channel the right channel where I might get some advise regarding proper installation of Ubuntu?' | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | anjen: generally, yes, this is a volunteer ubuntu support channel | 19:16 |

| tomreyn | :) | 19:17 |
| OerHeks | grkblood13, i think you have hit CTRL + u, do that again? | 19:17 |
| bwailer | i coppied and pasted and it just sent me back to enter more | 19:17 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: this would happen is you missed one of the single quotes (ticks) | 19:18 |
| grkblood13 | neither are making it go away | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: here's the command again: grep -i 'port ' /etc/ssh/sshd_config | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: i ran it here and it runs fine | 19:18 |
| grkblood13 | happens in a new terminal window too | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | grkblood13: hmm then i don't know exactly, this is strange. did you change the temrinal font by chance? | 19:19 |
| grkblood13 | its not the font, its more than that | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | grkblood13: a screenshot might help | 19:20 |
| grkblood13 | tabbing to autocomplete no longer works either | 19:20 |
| bwailer | ok it gave me http://termbin.com/b0on | 19:20 |
| grkblood13 | I installed konqueror to test some stuff out | 19:20 |
| grkblood13 | maybe it installed something | 19:20 |
| grkblood13 | ok, uninstalling konqueror made it go away | 19:21 |
| grkblood13 | must be some dependency program | 19:21 |
| grkblood13 | maybe a KDE thing? | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: very well. so does just copy pasting commands not work for you? | 19:21 |
| bwailer | yes sir | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | grkblood13: not sure, try asking in #kubuntu maybe | 19:22 |
| bwailer | sorry I was able to get the copy and paste to work for me | 19:22 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: great. | 19:22 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: now run this: cp -p /etc/ssh/sshd_config{,-tomreyn_backup} | 19:23 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: we're creating a backup of your configuration file just in case | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | s/backup/copy/ | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | it's a copy, not really a backup | 19:24 |
| coz_ | hey all | 19:24 |
| bwailer | okay i did it | 19:25 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: does this seem to have worked, did it return with out any output? | 19:25 |
| bwailer | it did not show me anything different | 19:25 |
| bwailer | it returned without any output. | 19:25 |
| tmm88 | heyho everyone | 19:25 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: now: echo Port 1125 | tee -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:25 |

| bwailer | when i enterit gave me port 1125ed that | 19:26 |

| === eduMaster is now known as EduMaster | ||
| === EduMaster is now known as EduardoMarcial | ||
| tomreyn | raidghost: ask in ##hardware | 19:27 |
| bwailer | port 1125 is all it is giving me with lowercase p or the uppercase P | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: well it has to be either "Port 1125" or "port 1125", can't be both, right? | 19:28 |
| zeropoint | I think he might have run it multiple times. | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | i'm sure bwailer would have told us if he ran it more than once, right? | 19:29 |
| bwailer | echo Port 1125 | tee -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:29 |
| bwailer | Port 1125 | 19:29 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: ok, now this: tail -n3 /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:30 |
| zeropoint | tomreyn: You might be sure. I'm not. Carry on. | 19:30 |
| bwailer | now it is saying Port 1125 | 19:32 |
| bwailer | and before that UsePam yes | 19:32 |
| dyc3_ | I'm trying to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.2, but when I run `do-release-upgrade` I get `Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.` When I run `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` it says that `i3` and `i3-wm` are held back. I remember holding them back because I installed i3-gaps from source, so how do I do the release upgrade anyway? | 19:33 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: so two lines of output? also another empty line then? | 19:33 |
| bwailer | UsePAM yes | 19:33 |
| bwailer | Port 1125 | 19:33 |
| bwailer | port 1125 | 19:33 |
| bwailer | That was the output | 19:33 |
| zeropoint | Okay, let's try this again. | 19:34 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, so you actually ran the earlier command twice. | 19:34 |
| bwailer | according to terminal it does not show it running twice | 19:35 |
| bwailer | I am totally baffled. | 19:35 |
| bwailer | basically I need to ip address and port for him to connect | 19:36 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: no problem we can recover from this. now just copy and paste this command to your server, don't type it, it will likely result in a mess: sudo sed -i '/^port 1125$/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:36 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: for now you need to put something up for him to connect to. so far he would not be able to connect. | 19:37 |
| tomreyn | this si what we're working on right now. | 19:37 |
| bwailer | i copied and pasted but gave me nothing | 19:39 |
| bwailer | Sorry that I a making this so difficult for you | 19:39 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: okay, now this: tail -n3 /etc/ssh/sshd_config | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:39 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: i know this is surely not an easy work mode for you either. we'll be done soon | 19:40 |
| bwailer | this is the output https://termbin.com/4818 | 19:40 |

| bwailer | For that part it seems so | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: so your ssh server is now reachable from the internet on your public ip address, on port 1125 | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: i just tested | 19:44 |
| bwailer | Cool. So know I just have to have him enter the public IP address and the 1125 and it will work | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: you can now tell your friend that they need to connect to 69.146.251.175 on port 1125 | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: well, depends :) | 19:45 |
| bwailer | hahaha, Lets hope | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: how is your friend going to login there? | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | using a user you created for them? or as root? and using a password, or an ssh authentication (public) key? | 19:46 |
| bwailer | Sweet. It just worked for me. I tried it off teatherphone and it is working.ing off my | 19:46 |
| tomreyn | so you ssh'd in from the internet basically, great | 19:46 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, still there ? | 19:46 |
| heap_ | any idea how to fix that snap stuff | 19:47 |
| VuurDraak | yup | 19:47 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: if you want, answer these other questions i just asked, or just have your friend try now if you prefer | 19:47 |
| VuurDraak | copying files for if i need to do a fresh install | 19:47 |
| bwailer | tomreyn: I really appreciate all of the help you have give me. | 19:47 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: you're welcome. | 19:47 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, on 14.04 atm ? | 19:47 |
| VuurDraak | yes in irssi | 19:47 |
| bwailer | I just asked him to try but it worked for me not on my network | 19:48 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, open anothe tty and run ps -A | head -2 | 19:48 |
| leftyfb | jeeze bwailer you are still at this? | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | bwailer: so you logged in there as him? | 19:48 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: Is your friend really not capable of ssh'ing to a public ip using putty? | 19:48 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, please, highlight the nickname | 19:49 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: this will yet have to show. i assume that so far there was no way for the friend to login | 19:49 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: I was able to ssh to his public ip yesterday and got a login prompt | 19:49 |
| tomreyn | oh ok | 19:49 |
| leftyfb | Now ssh isn't open anymore | 19:50 |
| VuurDraak | ioria , i did the command | 19:50 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, paste the 2° line | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: what did you change? | 19:50 |
| VuurDraak | 1 ? 00:00:01 init | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | ah, changed the port | 19:50 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: we changed the WAN port, it is working now, listening on a different port | 19:50 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: ssh is working fine. I can ssh to your server no problem | 19:51 |
| bwailer | We got it worked out thanks to Tomreyn! I tried to loging in using a different network. I used a hotspot on my phone that was not connected to the same network and it workded | 19:51 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: so your friend is able to ssh in now? | 19:51 |
| bwailer | yes he is | 19:51 |
| tomreyn | oh he tested already? | 19:51 |
| VuurDraak | sorry for not putting ioria in it | 19:51 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: next step, only allow ssh keys. NO passwords | 19:52 |
| bwailer | I will work on that. | 19:52 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, systemd is running ? ps -A | grep systemd | 19:52 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: also, you still have 443 pointing directly to the login of your NAS, publicly. | 19:53 |
| bwailer | I need to fix a few things | 19:53 |
| leftyfb | an 8443 pointing to some other auth | 19:53 |
| leftyfb | ugh! | 19:53 |
| VuurDraak | ioria : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Jng4qrF23/ | 19:54 |
| VuurDraak | can i copy the last line from the cli with the keyboard without a mouse ? | 19:54 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, broken link | 19:54 |
| bwailer | when trying to get onto the server you must have a login and password. leftyfb are you able to do that? | 19:54 |
| VuurDraak | oww sorry its past not pastbin | 19:54 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, install gpm ; select and click the mouse button | 19:54 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: Ever heard of brute force attacks? | 19:55 |
| === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas | ||
| bwailer | yes I have, so is that what you did? cause i am under the impression that is illegal | 19:55 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: someone breaking in doesn't care what is illegal. They will do it anyway. | 19:56 |
| VuurDraak | ioria , how can i copy what i select with the mouse ? | 19:56 |
| VuurDraak | left click ? | 19:57 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, when you select, it's copied | 19:57 |
| bwailer | well, I would assume the site would not allow anyone who tries to get into someone useless stuff without permission. | 19:57 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, you paste with the mouse click | 19:58 |
| VuurDraak | and how to past it ioria ? | 19:58 |
| ioria | ^ | 19:58 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: someone can run a script to try all passwords and eventually get in. Or they could find an epxloit for your Netgear r6300v2 router and get in quicker. It's your network. Your choice. | 19:58 |
| VuurDraak | oww i get it now ioria http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xrvtpm2cFZ/ | 19:58 |
| bwailer | you seem very slimy!!! | 19:59 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: I beg you, please get your friend to only use ssh keys to login, then look into a program like sshuttle which he can then use to login via ssh and access any resources on your network. That way you can close all other ports and be secure. | 20:00 |
| bwailer | I will be contacting Netgear right now | 20:00 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, sudo service lightdm restart | 20:01 |
| zeropoint | bwailer: You don't really seem to understand what's being said, here. :/ | 20:03 |
| VuurDraak | ioria lightdm start/running, process 5867 | 20:03 |
| VuurDraak | then it got black and after some time the cli came back | 20:03 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, and what happens ? | 20:03 |
| ioria | i see | 20:03 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, sudo systemctl restart lightdm | 20:04 |
| VuurDraak | 21:04 < ioria> VuurDraak, sudo systemctl restart lightdm | 20:04 |
| VuurDraak | Failed to issue method call: Unit lightdm.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status lightdm.service' for details. | 20:04 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: netgear has nothing to do with securing your own network which you basically have wide open at the moment | 20:05 |
| VuurDraak | @ ioria | 20:05 |
| zeropoint | bwailer: Using SSH keys as opposed to passwords is far more secure. leftyfb is giving you very sound advice. | 20:05 |
| VuurDraak | sorry it copies it auto with an enter behind it | 20:05 |
| leftyfb | zeropoint: not to mention not port forwarding your router nand NAS webUI's to the internet | 20:06 |
| zeropoint | Oi, seriously? | 20:06 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: we're trying to help you. It's very possible someone has already broken in. It's guaranteed that someone has already tried or is in the process. | 20:07 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, reboot; enter grub -> advanced option; see if you have an 'upstart' item; if not 'esc'; press 'e' and add 'nomodeset' in the linux line | 20:08 |
| VuurDraak | u mean ad nomodeset after ro in the vmlinuz ? | 20:08 |
| leftyfb | bwailer: there are more secure ways of achieving what you and your friend are doing. I can help you with it if you like. | 20:09 |
| VuurDraak | ioria what you mean with upstart ? | 20:09 |
| VuurDraak | ioria 'upstart' some where in the grub command it is giving what u see when i press e ? | 20:09 |
| hggdh | bwailer: just for the record, on the machines I have open to the internet with SSH, I get continuous SSH break-in attempts, every second | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb, zeropoint: it doesn't seem like bwailer wants you to help. or they're just AFK right now. i agree, all of these changes would be very advisable. but as long as it's not default passwords on these exposed services i guess it's as good / bad as any fifth ot tenth average internet user. | 20:09 |
| ravercult | hi | 20:10 |
| lucifer_ | Hello | 20:10 |
| lucifer_ | I have a question | 20:10 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, in advanced options you might have 2 items : upstart and systemd ; pick upstart | 20:10 |
| ravercult | Me too | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | hi ravercult + lucifer_ | 20:10 |
| VuurDraak | ioria , im not sure how to get in advanced options, is that also a letter i can press once i see the grub2 menu ? | 20:11 |
| ioria | VuurDraak, from the grub menu | 20:11 |
| === eduardo__ is now known as EduardoMarcial | ||
| leftyfb | tomreyn: there are scripts/bots scanning the internet 24 hours a day looking for open ports and trying dictionaries of passwords. Some have exploits loaded that can get in almost instantly regardless of default passwords. | 20:12 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: i'm fully aware of this. | 20:12 |
| VuurDraak | okay i take a look booting o7 | 20:12 |
| ravercult | My question is the following: trying to run lamp on ubuntu, and was trying to test apache2. If I type in my browser the "localhost" I get the right result, but I'm searching for my public IP address, and when I type it in the browser it gives me a pop-up asking for username/password and also mentioning the model name of my router. What's going on? | 20:12 |
| lucifer_ | I wanted to download a live usb creater for unbuntu and end up downloading something from internet. since i have installed it i can find it in search reuslts but not in apps directory. I am trying to open it, it asks for su password. When i enter password it just vanish. in my sear results it is names as "liveUSB install" I want to remove it but do not know how to remove it | 20:12 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: bwailer was not. Unfortunately, they seem to have left and will continue to be open for exploitation. | 20:13 |
| ravercult | Can someone help me? | 20:14 |
| abdulhakeem | So I installed the ubuntu-desktop package on my ubuntu server in order to have a GUI, but then changed my mind and wanted to go back to terminal only. So I removed that package and got the server back to terminal only, except that now it goes into standby mode after like 30 mins of inactivity, which I don't want. How do I disable that? | 20:14 |
| OerHeks | ravercult, likely you found the ip of your router | 20:14 |
| rypervenche | ravercult: Your router is running something on that port. Also, port 80 is going to be blocked on your home network if you're trying to get to it from outside your network. I'd recommend using a non-standard port. | 20:14 |
| leftyfb | ravercult: you will not be able to access your public ip from your local network | 20:15 |
| OerHeks | www.whatismyip.com | 20:15 |
| rypervenche | ravercult: You'll also need to be sure that you set a port forwarding for whatever port you choose to work. | 20:15 |
| zeropoint | icanhazip.com returns only text. | 20:15 |
| ravercult | OerHeks are you dutch? :D | 20:15 |
| zeropoint | Not saying wimi.com is BAD. | 20:16 |
| leftyfb | ravercult: You'll need to test your port forwarding from a cellphone or tethered machine or a friend over the internet | 20:17 |
| ravercult | How do I do that? | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | ravercult: lets make this easier, if you're talking about the ip address you're on IRC with right now, there's no port 80 (http) listening on your public ip address | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | ravercult: That said, a lot of ISP's will not allow you to run a web server on residential internet services like your home | 20:19 |
| ravercult | leftyfb: Is there anything that can be done about that? | 20:19 |
| ravercult | I'm totally new to this | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | ravercult: why do you need to run a web server from your home ip out to the internet? | 20:20 |
| maxLeet` | anyone there to help me out a bit. | 20:20 |
| Ben64 | ravercult: get a cheap vps to play with instead of potentially getting your computer more vulnerable | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | maxLeet`: disable ipv6 | 20:20 |
| maxLeet` | leftfb: is that the only way? | 20:20 |
| tonyt | if you want to run a webserver on your home ISP service, spend a few extra bucks on a decent vpn. that will hide what ever you are doing from your home isp | 20:21 |
| leftyfb | maxLeet`: probably not. But it's the easiest, | 20:21 |
| Ben64 | maxLeet`: can you explain what the issue is | 20:21 |
| Ben64 | disabling ipv6 isn't a solution | 20:21 |
| ravercult | Oka | 20:21 |
| leftyfb | Ben64: of course it is. They never said they want to use ipv6 at all | 20:21 |
| zeropoint | Disabling IPv6 is not a solution. | 20:21 |
| zeropoint | Correcting your network configuration generally is. | 20:22 |
| Ben64 | bingo | 20:22 |
| ravercult | So essentially what I do is stop fooling around and find a good host | 20:22 |
| ravercult | I was so excited that I could run my website from home :( lol | 20:22 |
| zeropoint | I say "generally" because the other option is "realize that IPv6 wasn't your issue to begin with." | 20:22 |
| zeropoint | A or B. | 20:22 |
| maxLeet` | Ben64: i upgraded 18.04 a couple of days ago and i cant get ipv4 to come up.. i tried configuring it manually but still nothing. | 20:22 |
| leftyfb | maxLeet`: are you sure you're not confusing the lack of ipv4 with the lack of network connectivity at all? | 20:23 |
| maxLeet` | Ben64: this is affecting some of my other programs because they are still using ipv4. | 20:23 |
| Ben64 | maxLeet`: can you pastebin the output of ifconfig | 20:23 |
| maxLeet` | leftyfb: lack of network connectivity? | 20:23 |
| Ben64 | maxLeet`: also, do you know the details of your home network, like network range, gateway address, etc | 20:24 |
| maxLeet` | Ben64: Command not found | 20:24 |

I have installed atom.io through snap and now I am getting this error git-remote-keybase error: (1) keybase isn't running; try `run_keybase`, when trying to push to keybase autogit repo. Could that be cause of the snap container not giving access to this repo . Or maybe some env vars missing from a snap packaged software ? | 20:44 |

| lawltoad | hi, I just set up a frsh install of ubuntu 18.04 on a laptop with an nvidia card. | 20:57 |
| lawltoad | when i go into nvidia setting or propritary drivers it all shows nvidia is being used, but glxinfo | grep renderer gives me MESA DRI | 20:58 |

| dannyjazz_ | yes | 20:58 |
| dannyjazz_ | gnome | 20:58 |
| tomreyn | dannyjazz_: so when you click on this menu with the network / sound /power icons top right, does it show a bluetooth icon in the menu that opens? | 20:59 |
| nnrd | Is it standard to have a Windows Network in "Other Locations? I have no windows network in my home. | 21:00 |

| qwebirc77950 | Hello! I have a problem, my only way to install Ubuntu is a 1GB USB. As recent versions are larger than 1GB, I tried to download v12.04.5 and then upgrade, but it does not seems to works and crash everytime. Is trying to download an older version a bad idea? | 21:16 |
| lawltoad | tomreyn, weird prime-select query also returns nvidia ... but just nto glxgears | 21:17 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: trying to install any unsupported version is a bad idea | 21:17 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: at least when this system has or will have any network connection | 21:18 |
| qwebirc77950 | Well yes, but I don't really have any choice because I can't go higher than 1GB :/ | 21:18 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: which kind of network connections does this system have? ethernet? wireless? both? | 21:19 |
| qwebirc77950 | Wireless | 21:19 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: so you couldn't attach it to a wired network even when you wanted? | 21:20 |
| qwebirc77950 | I can't right now, no | 21:21 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: the reason i'm asking is because with 1 GB storage on the usb stick, you you still install ubuntu server, then install the desktpo from there. but this would require a network connection. and i'm not sure whether the server supports wireless network connections out of the box. | 21:22 |
| tomreyn | i'm trying to determine this now. | 21:22 |
| qwebirc77950 | So I should try to download Ubuntu Server to then download the desktop? (If wireless works, of course) | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc77950: it's something you can give a try, yes | 21:25 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 21:25 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: so the mini.iso does support wireless? | 21:25 |
| qwebirc77950 | I will try this, thanks | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | that I'm not sure to be honest | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | worth a shot | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | it's a 70M iso, it'll take a few minutes to test | 21:26 |
| tomreyn | i'd rather expect the server to, just for the larger image size. but not sure either | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: any way to could plug in ethernet? | 21:26 |
| tomreyn | i asked this before | 21:27 |
| qwebirc77950 | Nope, sorry :/ | 21:27 |
| Ben64 | get a bigger usb | 21:28 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: got another pc/laptop/pi that can connect via wifi and share ethernet? | 21:28 |
| tomreyn | wpasupplicant is not installed by server | 21:28 |
| qwebirc77950 | Nope, I can't have ethernet at all now | 21:29 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: do you have another computer with wireless and an ethernet port and a cable? | 21:30 |
| tomreyn | i meant to say: wpasupplicant is not installed by the alternative server installer (d-i) | 21:30 |

| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: what about a local convenience store? They usually have flash storage for pretty cheap | 21:31 |
| qwebirc77950 | When launching with mini.iso, it says "Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi - Not Found" | 21:32 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: how did you put the mini iso onto your flash drive? | 21:33 |
| qwebirc77950 | Hmm yeah, it would be better without it but if there's no solution I'll do this | 21:33 |
| leftyfb | pi0: That is not a feature of nautilus | 21:33 |
| qwebirc77950 | I used Rufus | 21:33 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: on Windows or ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| qwebirc77950 | Windows | 21:33 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc77950: try etcher.io | 21:33 |
| qwebirc77950 | I will try, thanks | 21:34 |

| qwebirc77950 | Oh. Yeah lmao. Thanks | 21:35 |
| leftyfb | pi0: the default file manager in ubuntu | 21:35 |
| pi0 | do you know what the feature is called so i can enable | 21:36 |
| leftyfb | pi0: again, that is not a feature that exists in nautilus, AFAIK | 21:36 |
| OerHeks | pi0, there is no howto to see a preview else than a tumbnail picture | 21:36 |
| leftyfb | pi0: you could convert the videos to mp4 or something and you'll get thumbnails | 21:37 |
| OerHeks | so that youtube may be old or not suitable for linux? | 21:37 |
| pi0 | do you have the how to? | 21:37 |
| OerHeks | what howto ? | 21:37 |
| leftyfb | oh, youtube-dl does download in mp4 now | 21:38 |
| leftyfb | it should work | 21:38 |
| pi0 | i used that | 21:38 |
| OerHeks | if nautilus browses over network to a nas/server, you don't want those icons, they slow down transfer dramaticly | 21:38 |
| leftyfb | pi0: open nautilus and click the 4 little squares in the top right | 21:39 |

I remember holding them back because I installed i3-gaps from source, so how do I do the release upgrade anyway? | 21:43 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: you'll probably need to remove i3* in order to upgrade | 21:43 |
| OerHeks | dyc3_, they point to: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 21:43 |

| kreyren | How do i switch ubuntu on rolling (like debian) ? Using `sid` in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 22:19 |
| OerHeks | kreyren, not. | 22:19 |
| kreyren | what | 22:19 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: you don't. You upgrade when the latest is released | 22:20 |
| kreyren | it's debian based it should be possible switching on sid afaik | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | dyc3_: in case this is of use to you: before a release upgrade, i usually disable all PPAs myself first of all, then use https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages to detect packages i had installed form these PPAs, and either purge them (if not in ubuntu at all) or downgrade them to their ubuntu release version (if they are newer than what is available in ubuntu). | 22:20 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: if you want Debian's release cycle, you use debian | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | kreyren, no | 22:20 |
| kreyren | i want ubuntu on sid | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | i want the moon | 22:20 |
| kreyren | you have one already | 22:20 |
| zeropoint | kreyren: sid isnt a rolling release. Your premise is flawed. | 22:20 |
| kreyren | zeropoint: what is rolling release on debian then? | 22:21 |
| kreyren | buster? | 22:21 |
| zeropoint | Nonexistent. | 22:21 |
| tomreyn | dyc3_: then i do the release upgrade and once that is done, i check those PPAs i had on whether they still provide a newer / more suitable version than the new ubuntu release provides, and if that is the case, re-enable them. | 22:21 |
| OerHeks | never knew debian has a rolling thingy | 22:21 |
| zeropoint | OerHeks: It doesn't. | 22:21 |
| kreyren | or it's unstable i think | 22:22 |
| kreyren | or like how do i get more recent versions? | 22:22 |
| kreyren | above cosmic | 22:22 |
| zeropoint | sid is the name for unstable. | 22:22 |
| kreyren | so using sid should be sufficient? | 22:22 |
| dyc3_ | tomreyn: ah ok. I'll give it a shot | 22:22 |
| OerHeks | Kryptron_, the development version 19.04 ? i would not suggest that, unless you know what you are doing | 22:23 |
| zeropoint | kreyren: Its not designed for use. What are you actually after? | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | !latest | kreyren | 22:23 |
| ubottu | kreyren: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 22:23 |
| kreyren | zeropoint: Expected secure system with 150 debian updates that ware released yesterday afaik | 22:23 |
| blackflow | pretty sure debian sid is rolling release. there are no release branches/tags/points/dates for it. packages get updated continuously. | 22:24 |
| kreyren | that is close to secure to my gentoo running CLIP OS, MUSQQ and PaX kernel patches | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: then run something else. | 22:25 |
| zeropoint | blackflow: Its for testing and development. Its not a release. | 22:25 |
| blackflow | zeropoint: the release model is "rolling release" tho | 22:25 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: need backup OS to work on LFS and i want to go with ubuntu | 22:25 |
| Some_Person | Regardless, the idea of actually running sid... well, the term "here be dragons" comes to mind | 22:25 |
| VuurDraak | my internet decided to kill it self sorry everybody | 22:25 |
| zeropoint | sid is not a release, in Debian'sbown description. | 22:26 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: you will not get rolling releases with ubuntu. Period. | 22:26 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: sid is sufficient | 22:26 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: then run debian | 22:26 |
| OerHeks | or go back to gentoo? | 22:26 |
| kreyren | is apt able to compile? based on deb-src http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse ? | 22:27 |
| zeropoint | sid is for testing and development. It WILL break. | 22:27 |
| kreyren | breakage is expected and welcomed | 22:27 |
| blackflow | ubuntu LTS will break too | 22:27 |
| blackflow | like it did a few days ago when servers couldn't reboot due to a frakup in the kernel | 22:27 |
| kreyren | in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:27 |
| blackflow | don't be so absolutist. software gets bugs. | 22:27 |
| zeropoint | blackflow: You arent being helpful. | 22:27 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: you can download source packages and compile them, yes | 22:28 |
| VuurDraak | what to do when ur gui is no longer working, and the last install program 'gpm' or somothing like that (mouse in cli) made it so that when you try to login to a tty you cant enter a password anymore on login cause somehow automatics enters are given and you cant type a password anymore :') | 22:28 |
| kreyren | zeropoint: he is, i have no problem with less stable system since i can make it stable | 22:28 |
| blackflow | sure I am. if kreyren wants to run debian sid, by all means, do so. nothing bad or wrong with it. | 22:28 |
| pi0 | hmm | 22:28 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: more info? | 22:28 |
| pi0 | shoot i dont know how to check my video drivers | 22:28 |
| blackflow | be aware that such software is _less_ tested, and that's all | 22:28 |
| zeropoint | kreyren: You cant even make sense, let alone stability. | 22:28 |
| kreyren | zeropoint: it makes sence to me? | 22:28 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: use apt source | 22:29 |
| Platonides | VuurDraak: boot from a different partition / live media | 22:29 |
| zeropoint | kreyren: Hardly a useful metric. | 22:29 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: Any benefit in compiling excluding security? is there any way to optimize it ? | 22:29 |
| * zeropoint moves on. | 22:29 | |
| nshire | is it normal to get like 200kbps downloads from Launchpad? are those separate servers from the ones used the main ubuntu repository? | 22:29 |
| kreyren | 0,01% optimization counts | 22:29 |
| VuurDraak | Platonides, how to kill the program delete its executable i guess mmm | 22:30 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: it is not suggested to compile your own packages. Go for Gentoo or LFS if you want something like that | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: try recovery mode | 22:30 |
| blackflow | kreyren: I wouldn't bother except to enable/disable a compile time config feature I nee | 22:30 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: i have gentoo and working on LFS i need backup OS -> i want ubuntu for that | 22:30 |
| blackflow | *need | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | !recover | VuurDraak | 22:30 |
| ubottu | VuurDraak: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | !recovery | VuurDraak | 22:30 |
| ubottu | VuurDraak: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 22:30 |
| Platonides | if that will be a backup OS, wouldn't a stable one make more sense? | 22:30 |
| kreyren | blackflow: elaborate? any benefit in it? (excluding time needed to compile) | 22:30 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: Then you should know how to compile packages and read documentation | 22:30 |
| blackflow | kreyren: not much, that's the point | 22:31 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: ignore what ubottu told you *first* | 22:31 |
| VuurDraak | Platonides, i was logged in with a live usb boot stick, didnt think about searching for the offending program and simply deleting it, i forgot the exact program name, as somebody asked me to install it from this chat :D | 22:31 |
| kreyren | blackflow: 'much' ? | 22:31 |
| blackflow | kreyren: plus, unlike gentoo, you'll have hard time tracking upgrades. | 22:31 |
| blackflow | kreyren: well even gentoo admits that these days reocmpiling "for teh speeds" is no longer a thing. | 22:31 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, recovery mode doesnt work, as i get the same problem | 22:31 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: Ok, do-release-upgrade is giving me a new error: "Your python3 install is corrupted. Please fix the '/usr/bin/python3' " | 22:31 |
| kreyren | i know, but 'not much' ? as i said 0,001% optimization counts | 22:31 |
| pi0 | do you guys use atom? | 22:32 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: bottom line, what you're asking is beyond the scope of this channel. | 22:32 |
| blackflow | building from source is useful when you need to enable or disable a compile-time option which isn't available otherwise. but for speed? nah | 22:32 |
| leftyfb | pi0: Not a support question | 22:32 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, as my first problem was a black screen in the gui | 22:32 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: noted | 22:32 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, but now i can not loggin in the cli even :') | 22:32 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: apt-cache policy python3 | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: well recovery mode doesn't enter the gui | 22:32 |
| kreyren | blackflow: thanks | 22:32 |
| pi0 | i was going to use that to modify my settings file | 22:32 |
| pi0 | with syntax highlighting | 22:32 |
| pi0 | i cant make sense of these files all the same color | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: you could also do init=/bin/bash | 22:33 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, cant enter a password anymore when i login, so i cant get in the cli also now | 22:33 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: https://termbin.com/f8rt | 22:33 |
| VuurDraak | i need to kill the offending program from a live usb boot | 22:33 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: maybe try: sudo apt install --reinstall python3 | 22:33 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: init=/bin/bash should still work. | 22:33 |
| kreyren | there is no sid-security on ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: sid is debian. Please stop referring to it | 22:34 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: do-release-upgrade gives the same result | 22:35 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: there seems to be packages in ubuntu sid | 22:35 |
| horus125 | hey can i safely remove /boot/boot-repair | 22:35 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: there is no "ubuntu sid" | 22:35 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, i get a login screen in bash, but after i enter my username, i can not enter a password , cause automatic ,enters. are given since the <mouse in cli> program was insatlled at the password prompt, making sure i can not enter a proper password | 22:35 |
| kreyren | ah i see | 22:36 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: you don't have a login screen with init=/bin/bahs, you just get the sehll | 22:36 |
| tomreyn | * init=/bin/bash | 22:36 |
| kreyren | so i can use cosmic for packages and debian source of sid for security and gentoo for ck-kernel | 22:36 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: ls -l /usr/bin/python3 | 22:36 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, and how or when should i invoke that ? | 22:36 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: no. please stop | 22:36 |
| VuurDraak | from grub ? | 22:36 |
| kreyren | leftyfb: why? | 22:37 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: go troll elsewhere | 22:37 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: yes, it's an option you add to the 'linux' line | 22:37 |
| kreyren | i'm not trolling i'm solving an issue | 22:37 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: https://termbin.com/anh2 | 22:37 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: your "issue" is off topic here. good luck | 22:37 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: but if oyu're already booted into the chroot form a live cd this is probably not worth it now | 22:37 |
| blackflow | kreyren: you can't mix them like that. either use ubuntu, debian or gentoo. | 22:37 |
| hggdh | kreyren: if you are working with an issue in Ubuntu, then no problem. But please stop asking to mix different distributions | 22:37 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: ls -l /usr/bin/python3.5 | 22:38 |
| VuurDraak | im in windows atm watching a movie, as i could not do anything anymore with my internet down before :D | 22:38 |
| kreyren | blackflow: why not? Debian security should be compatible and i can compile gentoo kernel with ubuntu's sauce to make it work on ubuntu | 22:38 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: https://termbin.com/m7pd | 22:38 |
| blackflow | kreyren: for the same reason you can't take a .deb file and install it on windows | 22:38 |
| VuurDraak | i came back in to wanr or explain why i didnt react anymore | 22:38 |
| hggdh | kreyren: please. Ubuntu is *based* in Debian, but it is not Debian. | 22:38 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: it's not. What you're asking/looking to do is unsupported and beyond the scope of this channel | 22:38 |
| kreyren | blackflow: windows != linux.. + you can using WSl | 22:38 |
| blackflow | kreyren: but it's the same PC so why can't you. really, stop. you can't do it, period. try it and see for yourself. | 22:39 |
| kreyren | i'm asking why can't i use debian security packages on ubuntu? | 22:39 |
| OerHeks | just ignore it .. and move on to support :-D | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: i see. well i can't choose between videos and fixing ubuntu for you. | 22:39 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: It's not supported here. | 22:39 |
| kreyren | or is cosmic updated with recent release of debian security? | 22:40 |
| blackflow | kreyren: because they're compiled for different dependencies and versions | 22:40 |
| kreyren | blackflow: i see, ty helpful | 22:40 |
| kreyren | blackflow: if i satisfy those dependencies will it work? | 22:40 |
| leftyfb | :/ | 22:40 |
| blackflow | in theory yes, but when you satisfy them, you'd essentially turn your ubuntu into debian. | 22:40 |
| hggdh | kreyren: last time. Not on-topic | 22:40 |
| kreyren | blackflow: ty | 22:41 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, i have been trying to fix this for 15+ hpurs | 22:41 |
| kreyren | hggdh: sry i really needed an answer on that since it's on topic for my usage of ubuntu | 22:41 |
| VuurDraak | tomreyn, when the internet then also went down due to my isp f'ing around , i decided it was time to watch a movie sorry :) | 22:41 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: Using debian packages in ubuntu is not supported and is offtopic here. Good luck | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: oh, that's really long. well, i can guide you for a bit if you want to. | 22:42 |
| hggdh | kreyren: as long as you stay with Ubuntu and Ubuntu *only*, no problem. | 22:42 |
| VuurDraak | thanks for trying to help though, i copied the init thingy, i will try again tomorow if i can fix this | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | VuurDraak: good plan. | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | + good luck | 22:42 |
| kreyren | hggdh: since debian is compatible with lots of functions in ubuntu i don't know why it's not on-topic assuming that i have experience with LFS to make gentoo kernel work on ubuntu which is what i want to do.. | 22:42 |
| VuurDraak | you too thanks :) | 22:43 |
| kreyren | + i cant really ask elsewhere | 22:43 |
| hggdh | OK. I tried. | 22:43 |
| VuurDraak | have a good day all o/ | 22:43 |
| leftyfb | kreyren: you're already in ##linu | 22:43 |
| leftyfb | ##linux * | 22:43 |
| leftyfb | saw that coming | 22:43 |
| pi0 | is there a process explorer for linux | 22:44 |
| pi0 | gui based like windows | 22:45 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: in case you missed it: https://termbin.com/m7pd | 22:45 |
| leftyfb | pi0: there are several | 22:45 |
| pi0 | with graphs in all | 22:45 |
| Platonides | pi0: you can use eg. gnome-system-monitor | 22:45 |
| leftyfb | dyc3_: I'm not sure what's wrong with your install. You're probably better off just installing 18.04 from scratch and restoring from backup. | 22:45 |
| OerHeks | !info htop | 22:46 |
| ubottu | htop (source: htop): interactive processes viewer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.0-3 (bionic), package size 83 kB, installed size 219 kB | 22:46 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: hmm ok. Thanks for your help | 22:46 |
| leftyfb | OerHeks: while htop is nice, it's not exactly "gui based like Windows" | 22:46 |
| hggdh | !info glances | 22:46 |
| ubottu | glances (source: glances): Curses-based monitoring tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.11.1-3 (bionic), package size 505 kB, installed size 3033 kB | 22:46 |
| hggdh | leftyfb: well, yes, not really graphical, either of them | 22:47 |
| OerHeks | oops, it must be gui based? | 22:47 |
| leftyfb | don't get me wrong, I'll take htop over anything else any day | 22:47 |
| pi0 | how did you find out about all these gnome features | 22:47 |
| pi0 | is there an actual gnome book? | 22:48 |
| tomreyn | pi0: neither htop nor glances are gnome related really. | 22:49 |
| Platonides | if glances is a cli tool, how is it that it depends on angular and javascript-common? | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | pi0: if you're wondering how to find software packages for a specific purpose, you could use "apt search 'something_you_are_looking_for'" | 22:52 |
| OerHeks | instal synaptic, a much more detailed softwarecenter | 22:52 |
| tomreyn | Platonides: not directly, maybe indirectly? https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/glances | 22:53 |
| pi0 | thank you gotta reboot updates | 22:53 |
| pi0 | one sec | 22:53 |
| tomreyn | Platonides: not indirectly either, not on ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS anyways | 22:54 |
| Platonides | hmm, let me see, I was checking on a debian machine | 22:54 |
| Platonides | seems a weird debian thing | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | someoner did | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | nice, they have a frankendebian factoid :) | 22:59 |
| tomreyn | oops, wrong channel, sorry | 22:59 |
| fkl | What gui app will allow me to edit a pdf file? | 23:18 |
| fkl | I just need to delete several pages within that docment. | 23:18 |
| Platonides | it's not a gui app, but stapler will do it easily | 23:18 |
| cim209 | fkl: try www.photopea.com | 23:18 |
| OerHeks | fkl, libre office could do that, annotate | 23:19 |
| OerHeks | and edit/delete pages | 23:19 |
| OerHeks | * unless that pdf is protected, i guess | 23:19 |
| palomar | ubuntu is a great opsys - thank you all!! | 23:21 |
| dyc3_ | where can I find the repo for `do-release-upgrade`? Is it the `ubuntu-release-upgrader` package? | 23:21 |
| dyc3_ | nvm, i found it | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | sudo apt-get install update-manager-core update-manager # according to the manual | 23:25 |
| dyc3_ | leftyfb: I fixed it, /usr/bin/python must be symlinked to /usr/bin/python2 | 23:31 |
| thaurwylth | How about this? https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/02/04/%23xubuntu.html#t22:30 | 23:42 |
| OerHeks | old 32b VIA (former Cyrix) models? | 23:44 |
| OerHeks | if you want to find out, just run xubuntu in live mode? | 23:44 |
| thaurwylth | Well, I do have a VIA Centaur M7, I think. But I guess that's not the point. The point was more that whether the processor does need to support certain protocols (flags in the /proc/cpuinfo, if you will) to run current versions of Ubuntu, or Xubuntu. I'm pretty sure that running it on a live format is going to be painfully slow, so I'll try to avoid it as long as possible, hehehe. | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | it will give an indication.. slow or not | 23:47 |
| thaurwylth | Okeys... | 23:47 |
| thaurwylth | Anyways, I noticed that my i7-4600U has about five times more flags than the old 32b Centaur, so I just started to think that maybe some of those flags would represent crucial new technologies for compatibility. | 23:50 |
| FurretUber | After systemd updated, the following messages appeared on dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nxTMfSfms8/ Xubuntu 18.04, kernel version 4.18.0-15. Are they relevant? | 23:52 |
| OerHeks | 64 bit, vt-x, and such .. | 23:52 |
| thaurwylth | Well, I guess that's why #ubuntu is a bitt off channel for this question, but on the other hand, that's what they suggested on #xubuntu. The fact of the matter is that the VIA M7 is a 32b processor, that is not going to change. And there is still a Xubuntu version available that supports 32b. | 23:54 |
| thaurwylth | Perhaps I won't ask about it more than that, then. | 23:54 |
