[00:51] dman777: no. /etc/network/interfaces is not a shell script. [00:51] there is a man page describing its format. [00:52] dman777: however, with current ubuntu releases you should rather use either network-manager (desktop) or systemd-networkd configurations instead. [00:53] netplan can be used to write configurations for either. [00:53] tomreyn: to keep it simply can I just run the shell script instead to set the network? [00:55] 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.

[02:19] Squarism, as kreyren suggested, knonversation is very good, i use hexchat on my main computer. i also use irssi on an ubuntu minimum install [02:20] i use hexchat, but it feels dated [02:20] why? [02:20] Squarism, dated compared to what? [02:21] +1 [02:21] 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] or use mouse? [02:21] that operations could be limited to max 3-4 key presses [02:21] i dont use mouse [02:22] but maybe i should test konversation [02:22] Squarism, i'm on 25 channels on 5 networks, just click the channel in the list :) [02:22] as i said, i dont use mouse [02:22] ah [02:22] I would fork it and bind it to something like favorites [02:22] if such feature is not present already [02:24] otherwise irssi probably [02:27] 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] How would you rather switch channels? [02:29] Is anybody else present? [02:30] Jammers: eh? [02:30] I use quassel and love it run the core on an Ubuntu server then install the client on everything else [02:31] mlalkaka: [02:31] Squarism, #hexchat is an active channel, and TinPing can probably offer solutions for you [02:41] Well damn [02:41] First time I've properly used this program. [02:42] mlalkaka smells [02:43] downer06, Jammers, sorry, I missed what you said. Had a network issue and just got reconnected [02:45] mlalkaka: I was saying I use quassel instead of hexchat run the core on a Ubuntu server and the client on everything else (it will also help not miss anything from crashes [02:45] ) [02:46] Ah, nice [02:48] Hey guys [02:49] 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] uname -a [02:49] 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 [02:50] OerHeks, ahh ok I did see that but thought that only applied to desktop versions [02:50] destinydriven, that was my 1st thought too [02:50] destinydriven: No, from the initial 18.04 install, unless you opt in for HWE you will remain on the 4.15 series. [02:50] same happened with 16.04, iirc [02:51] But xserver on server . . is that needed? [02:51] hmm, good point.. [02:52] Let me so some digging on that. Snapshot in the making [02:52] not sure "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 " would do [03:03] OerHeks, works perfectly without need for xserver-xorg [03:04] destinydriven, thanks for feedback, noted.

[09:35] Is there a way to wait for internet before running a script at boot? [09:35] NginUS: yeah, make it dependent on network-online.target [09:36] can it run whenever an internet connection is established... each time in case it d/c's & reconnects? [09:36] yea, newbie here, why do i lose connection when running adding main interface to bridge? [09:37] Im not even sure that would fit the bill tho... :-( [09:38] 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] 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. [09:39] NginUS: if you want that -- dynamic network events handling -- you can look into Network Manager and dbus events it creates [09:39] is there a way to create a bridge to the main interface such that it would still be usable? [09:40] shirofuji: you'll have to clarify. bridge is "still usable" after creation. your previous question was about losing existing connections..... [09:41] blackflow: Ok thanks, didn't know that was a thing, cool... [09:41] NginUS: however, look into autofs, iirc it can do dynamic mounting of s3 buckets [09:41] nice [09:41] for example create bridge "br0", and "addif br0 eno1" such that I could still use eno1 normally? [09:42] shirofuji: define "normally". [09:42] hi everyone, is there big difference btw "try ubuntu without installation" and actrully installed in regard of security? [09:42] a network interface is just that -- an interface. what matters to userland is ip addresses and routing, all managed by the kernel with bridges. [09:43] normally, such that after addif i won't lose connection to ssh [09:43] shirofuji: so when you add eno1 to a bridge, you can continue using the network that those NICs are attached to physically and logically. [09:44] shirofuji: probably not for the reasons I mentioned above === tkore1 is now known as tkore [09:46] does restarting the network delete interfaces created by brctl? [09:46] or bring them down? [09:48] shirofuji: I would suggest you spin up a VM and just try what you want to do and see what happens. [09:49] 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] shirofuji: probably. if you want bridges to persist reboot and network "restarts", you'll have to configure them statically [09:53] thank you blackflow. what if I was trying the latest one(no need update), could I say I'd get the same safe env.? [09:55] 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] (closer on the side after the release) [09:55] 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. [09:57] HI === usualrise is now known as Guest23092 [09:57] Hi, Currently I am booting using boot from file in my hp's bios [09:58] How to set it to use the shimx64.efi as default for boot === Guest23092 is now known as usualrise1 [09:59] I have ijust installed ubuntu. dual booted with windows actually [10:00] should I need to go to bios and select boot from file everytime I boot ? [10:01] usualrise1: Is there an OS Boot menu in the BIOS? [10:01] 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] usualrise1: no [10:01] usualrise1: are you in ubuntu right now? [10:01] jeremy31: yes [10:01] EriC^^: Yes I am in ubuntu right now [10:02] usualrise1: what's this boot menu in the BIOS you're talking about? [10:02] "/efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi" [10:02] usualrise1: Select ubuntu in the os boot menu, make it first in the list and save and exit bios settings [10:02] 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] jeremy31: We need to create that a boot path first before moving it to first place [10:03] usualrise1: can you type "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" in a terminal? [10:04] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/n256 [10:04] ok, blackflow, thank you [10:05] 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 [10:06] or go with manjaro [10:06] the ubuntu of arch [10:06] cim209: lets not reccomend other distro's here [10:07] lotuspsychje: but it's open source [10:07] like everything else [10:07] 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] 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. [10:08] ubuntua: it's quite unlikely that your system is hacked. possible, yes, but unlikely. [10:08] true [10:08] 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] the newcomers will know soon enough about advance stuff [10:09] soon know enough* [10:09] so you are very confident about the "try ubuntu without installation" mode in regard of security? [10:10] ubuntua: you mean the live usb mode? === MobileMatt_ is now known as MobileMatt [10:10] yes cim209, [10:11] 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] is that mode as safe as the persistent installed mode? [10:11] ubuntua: does my above answer about relativity of "safe" satisfy you? there's no other answer. [10:11] what blackflow said is true, security is 100% relative [10:11] usualrise1: we can try making ubuntu the first in the boot order, but likely the BIOS will override it [10:11] but definitely persistent installation is "safer" (relative), because it can update ALL components [10:12] think of live mode as a burner phone [10:12] 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] you can use and abuse it then throw it away after. like a VM [10:12] usualrise1: sudo efibootmgr -o 000F,000C,0010,000B,000A,000E,000D,0000,0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,0007,0008,0009,0011 [10:13] but backflow, i just "sodo apt upgrade" succeeded couple days ago [10:14] ubuntua: again, some components need restart and reboot. live env is not persistent across reboots. [10:14] if you want to use Ubuntu off of an USB stick, take a look at the link above. [10:14] yes, cim209, that's why I like that mode, i wont hurt the computer persistently [10:14] no not sodo [10:14] it's sudo [10:15] ubuntua: "hurt"? [10:15] it wont hurt.. [10:16] 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] I mean if you persistently installed, anything you do will left to the disk, for a newbie, a lot of moves are wrong [10:17] 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] 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. :) [10:18] you wanna do something so backward and make your life hard? try building a docker image [10:20] cim209,"backward" you mean? [10:20] ubuntua: you ever used docker [10:21] 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] and now for something completely different: let's not confuse new users :) [10:21] blackflow: i actually love docker but it's a PITA lol [10:21] ok. it seems too "advanced" to me:) [10:22] 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] i am actually connected to this channel using a web client docker image [10:22] EriC^^: Thanks a lot :) [10:22] usualrise1: did it work? [10:22] Yeah it worked [10:22] ah great, good to hear [10:22] no problem :) [10:23] EriC^^: Can you help me with windows too? How can I add windows option in grub [10:23] Since I am unable to see windows in it [10:23] usualrise1: type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:23] 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] usualrise1: most modern distros have grub os prober [10:24] which should detect your windows partition [10:24] ubuntua: nothing is saved though [10:24] ubuntua: well as time passes, that live env will be less and less secure as you can't apply some fixes. [10:25] 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. [10:26] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/iw6d [10:26] i recommend etcher but it doesn't have persist mode [10:26] 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... [10:27] 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] do you want to convert it to legacy? [10:27] Yes [10:28] usualrise1: type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" [10:29] 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 [10:30] It is already commented [10:30] I learn some moves, like "sudo touch nologin" , start ufw and passwd root , do you think these still can't protect root? [10:32] 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. === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [10:32] EriC^^: It is already commented [10:33] usualrise1: hmm, type "cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:34] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/totf [10:34] usualrise1: ok, great, type "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" [10:35] usualrise1: then type "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999 [10:35] usualrise1: then type "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:35] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/3kb8 [10:36] usualrise1: did it say it was already installed? [10:37] I suffer couple times that everything dont anwser(mouse, keyboard..) these days, I have to reboot and lost what i've done [10:37] usualrise1: please type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" and tell me if it shows dirs or no file found [10:37] ubuntua: exactly. make a persistent installation. [10:38] and there seems no "ctrl alt del" in ubuntu:) [10:38] EriC^^: Dirs [10:38] 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] I will blackflow , good suggestion [10:39] anikras: nope. [10:39] usualrise1: ok, that means you're booted in uefi mode [10:39] ok, thanks [10:40] 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] usualrise1: ok, try now "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" [10:40] anikras: you can set that via "Domains" option of /etc/systemd/resolved.conf if you're using Ubuntu defaults (with systemd-resolved) [10:41] I add an alias in my bashrc alias server='mydomain' [10:41]
