patakijatomreyn: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycszz0ga97a8ysl/GOPR2637.JPG?dl=000:04
patakijalooked into all of them, they were either empty or had options that dont have any effect on the issue00:04
tomreynpatakija: nvme or sata configuration could be relevant. but if you already tried ... ok00:05
tomreyni guess it all comes back to the error message you quoted initially00:05
patakijatomreyn: both of them empty00:06
tomreynpatakija: hehe. on the booted system, does "lsblk" return anything other than the system you booted from?00:07
tomreynpatakija: hehe. on the booted system, does "lsblk" return anything other than the storage you booted from?00:07
tomreynignore the first variant of this question, please.00:08
patakijadont worry, i got what you meant :D00:09
patakijait shows the pendrive and a 1,7G loop...00:12
tomreynthat's gonna be the ram disk00:13
tomreynpatakija: i suspect this is also you? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241384600:14
patakijayep00:15
tomreynif so, just return it saying you can't run linux on it (while you could on your previous HP)00:15
patakijai ran out the return period sadly... (didnt had time te mess with it)00:15
tomreynpatakija: the other option would be to have a kernel develop look into it, and then wait for them to maybe come up with a fix, and then a new kernel to be released with the fix, and then for a live cd to become available with this kernel version so you can install.00:16
tomreynpatakija: reporting a bug using the ubuntu-bug command, and another against https://bugzilla.kernel.org is probably the right thing to do if you're hoping to ever run linux on it.00:18
tomreyn... booted form this emmc00:18
patakijai already submitted a bug report but so far no-one looked at it so IDK if thats going the happen, oh well i just rob the sd card from one of the rpi's and lets see if i can get installed on that00:18
tomreyncan you point me to the bug you reported?00:18
tomreynmaybe there's something i can add to it.00:19
nightshiftHang on, just understood what was happening here. Can I ask a couple questions?00:19
tomreynnightshift: that's the primary purpose of this channel, if those are ubuntu related00:19
tomreynubuntu *support* that is00:19
nightshiftI meant towards patakija and their problem  :)00:20
patakijatomreyn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1818407       It was submitted from the live system so it could be missing stuff....00:20
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1818407 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Cant access emmc, error -84" [Undecided,New]00:20
nightshiftpatakija, I've had problems with my sd reader with debian, might be completely unrelated, but, worth a shot00:21
patakijaokay, microsd card reader seems to be working, lets see if this picky uefi lets it boot from it...00:21
nightshiftWere you able to access the reader while on the live system, and if not, did you try it with a card plugged in before you booted?00:22
patakijanightshift: funnily enough the sd card reader seems to be working, the issue is with the emmc storage00:22
tomreynpatakija: you said you also tried with 18.04.2 (the .2 being important), right? if so, same errors there?00:23
nightshiftOoooo, I misunderstood patakija, I thought emmc was referring to the cardreader, not hardwired storage, disregard00:23
patakijanightshift: NP :)00:23
patakijatomreyn: no, .100:24
nightshift.2 might be needed?00:25
nightshiftespecially since it's a new machine00:25
tomreynpatakija: okay, you could try again with .2, which would give you both a newer (patches) and (slightly) higher versioned kernel image than the 18.10 installer. but i'm not promising anything there.00:25
tomreynpatakija: may i suggest to change this bug report in that it affects linux, not the release upgrader?00:26
patakijawhere can i do that?00:27
tomreynpatakija: and if you don't mind porting your kernel log ( https://termbin.com/mulu ) as a file attachment to the bug report this could be very useful in debugging this.00:27
tomreynpatakija: you can change the "affects" at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/181840700:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1818407 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Cant access emmc, error -84" [Undecided,New]00:28
tomreynlog in, then on the yellow line, click the triangle next to "ubuntu-release-upgrader"00:28
tomreynthen where it says "Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader", replace "ubuntu-release-upgrader" by "linux"00:29
patakijadone00:29
tomreynyou may want to run "apport-collect 1818407" from the (k)ubuntu 18.04.2 installer/live system if you'll re-test with it00:30
patakijaok, making the thumbdrive right now, i really hope this is one of the faster ones...00:32
johnfgtomreyn: Still working on that annoying problem with sudo -i, been over in #ldap, but not getting anywhere yet.00:33
johnfgtomreyn: My question: would it hurt anything to remove sudo, then reinstall it?00:33
patakijatomreyn: no luck...00:36
tomreynpatakija: i updated your bug report00:38
tomreynpatakija: so you see the same messages now?00:39
tomreynjohnfg: removing sudo would impact your ability of running commands as root.00:39
tomreynsuch as you'd need to install sudo00:39
patakijayes, and now also shows error -11000:41
patakijathe only question is is this mmc0 device is the internal one or the card reader00:41
tomreynpatakija: error -110 is also printed on the termbin.com paste00:42
patakijaokay, then i didnt notice it before..00:43
tomreynpatakija: unfortunately i'm not sure which one this is either.00:43
tomreynhmm it's connected to the pci bus as 0000:00:1c.000:45
tomreyni suspec tthe sd card is rather connected to usb, but woul dneed to see lspci -nn and lsusb outputs to be sure.00:45
tomreynthe device reporting these errors is connected to an "Intel Corporation Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor N4200/N3350/E3900 Series eMMC Controller [8086:5acc]"00:47
tomreynpatakija: you have secureboot disabled, right? i think it said so on the log, but we should double check.00:48
patakijayes, had to delete platform key to do it00:49
tomreynok00:49
tomreyni think what's causing the issues is actually the controller, not the emmc itself.00:49
patakijalspci -nn :  https://termbin.com/m2ko00:50
tomreynif you search for     linux "[8086:5acc]"   all you see is issues00:50
tomreyn00:1c.0 SD Host controller [0805]: Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series eMMC Controller [8086:5acc] (rev 0b)00:51
tomreynpatakija: apport already posted all the info needed now, thanks00:53
patakijai should be the one thanking for all the help... :)00:56
tomreyn;-)00:56
patakijalets see if i can use an sd card in the mean time.... :D00:56
Tin_manI vote Ubuntu the most stable OS of 2019..00:59
tomreynjohnfg: so the problem is with this high GID you have there, not necessarily with sudo. i don't think you did already rule out having this GID defined in LDAP, did you?01:01
tomreynjohnfg: you could also share the pam + sudo + other configuration edits you made to get this system to authenticate against LDAP. so far i don't think yu shared any configurations.01:02
* tomreyn bbl01:02
johnfgtomreyn: I did, in that's it's not in any data in openldap.  I just noted this to follow:01:02
johnfgSomething else: after a reboot, the error still comes about the groups, but the number is changed.  So it must be generating it from somewhere.01:02
tomreynhmm that's strange, yes, you'd expect this to not change dynamically.01:03
smallville7123How do I know if I can connect via USB Wi-Fi01:25
smallville7123As enp1s0 never changes01:25
smallville7123In ifconfig -a01:26
tomreynsmallville7123: enp1s0 is an ethernet (en) PCI (p) device, not a wireless LAN (wl) USB device. so your USB Wireless LAN device is just not detected.01:39
smallville7123USB Ethernet *01:40
tomreynso it's with a wire, not wireless?01:40
smallville7123whatever Protocol USB Tethering uses idk01:40
tomreynsmallville7123: you can unplug the usb device, then run "dmesg -w" and keep it running, then insert the usb device, and post the output on the dmesg -w to a pastebin (and press ctrl -c to stop dmesg -w).01:41
smallville7123On my previous distro it always picked it up as an Ethernet connection01:42
tomreynan usb connected tethered android device would look something like this enp0s29u1u201:42
smallville7123Ok01:43
* smallville7123 waits until his packages finish installing before disconnecting Bluetooth wifi01:44
DUKENUKEMtomreyn: thanks for the link ill check it out. my use case is that i had an ubuntu 14.04 machine that i was already kernel debugging, but then i need to debug kernel 4.4x. so i figured instead of installing a completely new ubuntu, i would dist-upgrade because i read that the latest 16.04 was supposed to be a 4.4 kernel which is exactly what i needed to debug. so i dist-upgrade'ed, then got on 4.4.0-14201:52
DUKENUKEMand found that i had no way to install the -dbgsym packge. i updated my packages with apt-get update, and saw i was able to get 4.4.0-21-dbgsym, so i installed that and installed the corresponding kernel package. thisbooted fine but broke systemtap. so now i have given up and said i should just install a newer version of ubuntu for my research. frankly, i would install debian but they use the SLAB01:52
DUKENUKEMalloactor and you guys use SLUB, so i am forced to use you or someone similar. anyway, end rant. just want to say that this isnt the first time ive had to wrestle with old ubuntu versions and have found myself left out in the dark without dbg symbols. frankly, this happens to me probaly once every few months where the ubuntu system is supposed to have my dbg packages but they dont.01:52
yvyz!spam DUKENUKEM01:53
DUKENUKEMspam? lol01:53
DUKENUKEMim making a valid complaint that i never see the proper dbgsym packages01:54
smallville7123Lol01:54
DUKENUKEMim forced to work within the confines of apt, and when i do so i cannot install what i need to install. if ubuntu offers -dbgsym packages, they shouldnt randomly take them offline. shit just like i said, google for a 4.4.0-143 dbgsym package. all you find is 2 pages of google where you can get an i386 package01:56
DUKENUKEMand obviously i appreciate ubuntu for what they do, but if theyre looking to be the distro that satisfies all demands, hey, here's a complaint01:58
tomreynDUKENUKEM: no one here forces you to do anything. this is a support channel. discussions and rants should go elsewhere.01:58
DUKENUKEMits sometihing i run across all the time01:58
DUKENUKEMwhere should they go?01:58
tomreynthere is #ubuntu-discuss, but note that there are rules covering all the ubuntu channels (usually pointed to on the topic, such as here)01:59
DUKENUKEMok ill redirect there then01:59
mezanI want to sync my local folder with a google drive account. I tried rclone but it's basic push/pull and not a two way sync client. Do you know any good alternative? I've found InSync but it's propietary02:09
mousesmezan: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse02:10
mezanmouses: I'm not interested in fuses bcz they're not offline (or sync) just a local interface (right?)02:12
mousesmezan: right, maybe that won't work for you then :(02:17
mousesbut I mean you could setup a script/cron job to copy/sync stuff for when it is online02:18
mezanmouses: I already have a simple script with rclone sync but the problem with this (and probably ocaml-fuse) is one-way sync which is quite dangerous! I want something like dropbox which kind of now when to delete and when not (and when give a conflict). But in the case of rclone you just do simple push and pull and you should manually consider everything which is quite error prone02:20
mousesyeah, makes sense :(02:20
mousesgood luck, there's gotta be something out there02:20
mezanmouses: InSync is available but it's not free (as speech) and quite closed source.02:21
tomreynDUKENUKEM: so for amd64, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.4.0-142-generic-dbgsym_4.4.0-142.168_amd64.ddeb is there and http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/xenial-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages (apt source "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ xenial-updates  main") points to it.02:26
tomreynlooks good to me.02:26
tomreynor if you'll use -proposed, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux-signed/linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic-dbgsym_4.4.0-143.169_amd64.ddeb is also where "Package: linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic-dbgsym" in http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/xenial-proposed/main/binary-amd64/Packages (apt source "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ xenial-proposed  main") points to.02:29
yvyzI made a booboo configuring tightvncserver for myself and no I cannot launch nautilus on my local/regular desktop. I get this error in /var/log/syslog -> org.gnome.Nautilus[2035]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused02:56
yvyzNo plugins. Only happening when I just open nautilus. I noticed that if I have a terminal opened running "nautilus --check", I am able to run nautilus as normal. Strangest thing ever.02:57
yvyzI guess the only booboo I made was: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel gnome-settings-daemon metacity nautilus02:58
yvyzgnome-terminaly02:58
yvyzAnd then nautilus got... ahem... naughty.02:59
yvyzmezan: Currently rclone does not support active sync on file/folder changes/updates. It is planned for the future but for now most users are using awaitnotify to get live syncing done.03:01
yvyzmezan: rclone is best used for backups and restores right now. There are some thing you can do, scripting wise with init.d or systemd or cron, to get similar functionality of "live syncing."03:02
calherWhat is the package for linux called?03:02
yvyzmezan: if you want to do something like a live backup, you should consider something like mounting web-dav disks or using sshfs locally.03:03
mezanyvyz: I'm now reading something about RCloneSync (a Python wrapper) ... what is awaitnotify? I couldn't find it03:03
yvyzI might not be using the correct name03:03
mezansystemd and live sync isn't important for me (I can do cron, or just manually). But since I've multiple clients I want a relible two way sync03:04
yvyzI personally have been waiting for live sync myself. The rclone platform is a godsend.03:04
mezanyvyz: what about grive2?03:04
mezanhave you used it?03:04
mcrabbleI'm having trouble with resume from suspend.  AMD APU, HDMI connection, the machine wakes, but the screen acts as if there's no signal.  Only fix is to hard reset03:04
yvyzmezan: multi remote functionality is supported and supported well. But I dont have a setup that requires supporting multiple clients yet. I intended on it and its where I found the roadblock with rclone you have right now.03:05
calherWhat ratio of disk space do you use for DejaDup?03:05
mezanyvyz: yeah agreed. Thanks03:05
calherI use 3:1 for full copies.  Should I use 0.5:1 for DejaDup?03:06
yvyzcalher: expecting a .5x compression ratio is what I would consider "ballsy"03:09
yvyzOver prepare your disk partition, and expand as necessary.03:10
calheryvyz, so what is the proper ratio for usable disk space:DejaDup?03:11
yvyzThat is highly dependant upong how you configure your backups, the number of incremental backups (or any) that you do, what you are backing up... and so forth.03:12
yvyzYou should review what your total size of files you want to backup, calculate the common difference in sizes after changes (for mathing incremental) and going from there.03:13
yvyzI do not, perosnally, consider there to be a "proper ratio"03:13
yvyzPlus I back up to a huge RAID array.03:13
calherThen I can't do incremental backups.  I don't get more disk space until I know all of it can be backed up.03:14
calherSo I buy four at a time.03:14
smallville7123tomreyn: https://bpaste.net/show/64c8415607b403:21
tomreynsmallville7123: normally it'd look like this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YNW5YQCTc5/03:30
smallville7123Ok03:31
tomreynsmallville7123: are you using *USB* tethering or something else?03:31
smallville7123I'm using USB tethering03:32
tomreynsmallville7123: which ubuntu version is this, whch android version?03:32
nightshiftsmallville7123, then what was your comment about the bluetooth when you were asked for that paste?03:33
smallville712316.04 android pie03:33
tomreyn"lsb_release -ds" returns what exactly? and "cat /proc/version /proc/cmdline"?03:33
smallville7123Xenial03:34
yvyzcalher: Why do you have that restriction?03:35
tomreynsmallville7123: no03:35
calheryvyz, I'm tired of losing my data, and I don't use the Cloud.03:36
smallville712316.04.1003:36
tomreynsmallville7123: that's your second wrong guess, you're not running ubuntu03:36
calhersmallville7123, .10?!  I jusst got .6 a few days ago!03:36
tomreyncome back when you do03:36
smallville7123Linux version 4.4.0-142-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-033) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) ) #168-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 16 21:00:45 UTC 201903:36
yvyzcalher: This is getting a little out of band for this channel, but consider spending more time reviewing your growth rates as you implement your backup plan.03:36
yvyzcalher: Still don't understand why you would want to do some basic calculations on your growth rate, and throw down some extra drives to build a bigger storage partition.03:37
calheryvyz, I did ask for a ratio.  I just want a formula of some sort.03:37
yvyzcalher: again, highly dependant on your compression selection, and how you configure your back ups. People are paid six figure incomes to develop storage stratagies for companies, this isn't a "one algorithm" fits all situation.03:39
smallville7123Should "lspci -n | awk '/0280/{print$3}'" return something if such suppo get03:40
smallville7123Should "lspci -n | awk '/0280/{print$3}'" return something if such support is present03:40
calheryvyz, I can't be trusted to design a reliable system.  It's why I don't use Arch.03:40
tomreynsmallville7123: are you running ubuntu?03:40
yvyzcalher: lol, i respect your self awareness.03:40
yvyzcalher: honestly, if you dont want to make it hard on yourself and not use incremental backups, consider a basic 1:1, use compression that could give you .74:1, and plan on (buy disks for) 1.5:103:41
smallville7123No03:42
yvyzcalher: but who knows, maybe you find a 150GB database dump and want to back it up with duplicity. How are you going to manage your backup storage array size when you are the one downloading and storing more and more files.03:42
nightshifttomreyn, I have a strange suspicion that if they are, its the original (beta) windows subsystem for linux, and, if so, access to peripherals was severely limited.03:42
calheryvyz, was this for NOT doing incremental backups?  I'm only interested in DejaDup for incremental backups; I use rsync for full backups.03:42
yvyzAt that, we are now offtopic of this channel.03:42
calherDejaDup is the default for Ubuntu, but OK.03:43
yvyzWhat you are asking for is not ubuntu specific tho.03:44
tomreynsmallville7123: we only support ubuntu here. please feel free to ask your support questions here when you run it.03:45
tomreynnightshift: i prefer facts over speculation, where possible.03:45
nightshiftOf course.03:46
yvyzWSL is about as linux as BSD is linux.03:47
yvyz#opinion03:47
calhernightshift, are you running an Ubuntu-based OS?  Install Ubuntu, duplicate your problem there, and come back here with the Ubuntu system.03:47
leftyfbyvyz: WSL is not linux at all. Since it does not run the linux kernel. Regardless, any discussion/support for WSL should be done in #ubuntu-windows03:48
nightshiftcalher, I was speculating on smallville's problem. I AM running ubuntu, did have a problem earlier, fixed it, but still hanging around03:48

impiyvyz: no, i choose the solution to try ubuntu05:38
yvyzSide-note. Honestly if I wasnt lazy with configuring a replacement for time machine (which, dude... is pretty effin' sweet) i'd have ubuntu on it and nothing else.05:39
impiand then it fails with vfs05:39
impilet me get the error05:39
yvyzyes plz thanks05:39
yvyzI was a hardcore windows person, who became hardcore linux, softened up to ubuntu, and was grossly against apple for the longest time.05:39
yvyzThat retina display though...05:40
=== Richard is now known as Guest97429
yvyzAnd diskutil.05:40
calherI love Flatpak.05:40
tarzeauhaha, and cell phone? i'm so against microsoft and google05:40
yvyzno, eff the cell.05:40
tarzeaunot so much apple. iOS and macOS, tvOS are nice things05:40
calheryvyz, do you have a cellphone?05:40
tarzeaucalher: what software do you install with it?05:40
impiyvyz: just trying 18.10 quick05:40
yvyzcalher: ofcourse. its just not an iphone05:41
impiwill grab the error on 18.04 now05:41
yvyzimpi: ok.05:41
yvyzimpi: thx05:41
calhertarzeau, what it was designed for: desktop applications.  Telegram, qTox, Delta Chat, Polari.05:41
yvyzflatpak == cross linux-platform apps05:42
* tarzeau prefers debian packages05:42
yvyz^ ditto05:42
tarzeauand free software (which telegram is not)05:42
yvyzBut flatpak looks nice.05:42
tarzeaunor delta chat, nor polari05:42
calhertarzeau, the client is free/libre and does not rely on Chromium code.05:42
Gerowendebs are nice, but they often depend on other things on your system, and if you've got the wrong version of a library things can have a hissy fit.  With flatpaks or snaps, dependencies are part of the package, you don't have to install several other dependency packages to provide libraries for the thing you actually want to use.05:43
tarzeauyvyz: how come it's cross platform?05:43
calherNow Delta Chat is problematic.  It does use Electron, and I'm hoping to write a GTK client soon.05:43
tarzeauyvyz: it's cross linux, not cross platform, platform is i386, amd64, mips, sparc, m68k, arm...05:43
yvyztarzeau: flatpak brings in a number of core libraries to your system and compiles them for you. allow the developer to reference the flatpak libs and not target an os specific version.05:44
tarzeauyvyz: can i get one such flatpak thing and it'll run on ALL MY LINUXen? certainly not05:44
yvyzyou are right05:44
yvyzsemantics05:44
yvyzshoot me.05:44
tarzeauit's not pre-built, so it's not cross platform (binary), but maybe source cross platform, but that's a lot of software anyways05:44
tarzeauthe only cross-platform i remember is the one of NeXT 1989, with intel, hp-ux, solaris, windows, m68k, and sparc05:44
yvyzyou are so l33t you could almost come over to #ubuntu-discuss to talk about this.05:45
yvyzimpi: any luck?05:45
tarzeaumeanwhile it's bought back from apple, and they have a nice plan (destroy microsoft, and google)05:45
calherI like being able to have a flash drive with each app having just a Windows installer, a Mac disk image, and a Flatpak ref.05:45
tarzeauyvyz: if you didn't say almost, i'd have joined05:45
yvyz^ top.lol05:45
tarzeaui'd even go for reactos > windows05:45
tarzeausimply because of the company behind it, and the person, and their crime at humanity (arial, comic sans)05:46
tarzeauto just name a few05:46
yvyz!#ubuntu-discuss05:46
yvyzimpi: still here?05:59
lotuspsychjeanyone knows if bionic and higher isnt suppose to auto kernel cleanup now? remain current +2 previous ones?06:02
flyinprogrammeri believe the defaults in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d are going to show you that old kernel packages always stick around06:06
lotuspsychjelemme check fl06:06
yvyzHey, any reason I cannot get nautilus to execute correctly from gnome dash-to-dock. was working perfectly until I fenagled some stuff for tightvncviewer. Now it just sits and gives me the waiting icon. I can launch it just fine from terminal though.06:08
yvyz#upset. Any ideas?06:08
tarzeaulotuspsychje: i still use our own removeoldkernels script06:08
lotuspsychjetarzeau: but i thought it was now a feature baked in the updates, auto kernel cleanup?06:09
lotuspsychjeive seen it work before06:09
tarzeauseems (from you) it's not active by default06:09
tarzeauit's some post apt hooks i think, no idea why it's not working for you06:09
lotuspsychjeyeah thats what im trying to find out why06:09
lotuspsychjeflyinprogrammer: https://hastebin.com/adatawoheh.makefile06:10
tarzeaulotuspsychje: i'm using this: https://github.com/alexmyczko/autoexec.bat/blob/master/remove-old-kernels06:10
yvyzAlso, how do I find out which .desktop file the unity launcher is referencing?>06:11
lotuspsychjeyvyz: are you on unity?06:11
yvyzsorry no06:12
yvyzi meant gnome06:12
yvyzits been a long day.06:12
lotuspsychjeyvyz: so nautilus isnt launching anymore after you messed with vnc?06:12
yvyzyes, I did some apt install gnome-*stuf* and nautilus was one of them06:12
yvyzive tried reinstalling, no luck.06:12
yvyzI think of the .desktop's is either corrupted or wrong06:13
yvyzThere a re few of them /usr/share/applications that refer to nautilus06:13
lotuspsychjeyvyz: maybe its user related in your /home configs06:13
yvyzI want to target the one that gnome is referencing and see if I can fix it. I can launch nautilus from terminal just fine.06:13
yvyzMaybe06:13
lotuspsychjeyvyz: while you launch, can you open a tail -f /var/log/syslog ?06:14
yvyzlotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VnPMgmmc64/06:15
lotuspsychjehmm display 2, did you edit some stuff during vnc screen assign or something?06:16
yvyzonly the vncviewer config06:16
yvyzthat was it.06:16
yvyzive since walked back all changes06:16
lotuspsychjemaybe thats where it went wrong06:16
yvyzremoved vncviewer etc06:16
lotuspsychjenautilus still thinks it needs screen 206:16
yvyzWell yea, but now theres some problem with no program associated with it06:16
dixoncxHi, have setup encrypted swap with crypttab.. but after kernel upgrade boot is hanging.. "A start job is running for dev-mapper-swap.device ( ... / no limit)"06:18
lotuspsychjetarzeau flyinprogrammer seems like sudo apt autoremove doesnt do anything, so must be good06:25
tarzeaulotuspsychje: i also usually check deborphan and dpkg -l |grep -v ^ii06:25
lotuspsychjetarzeau: alot of RC06:28
tarzeauthat's config file left overs06:28
tarzeauyou can clean that up with dpkg -P (apt-get --purge remove pkg)06:29
tarzeauunless you want to keep the config files of that package(s)06:29
client35If my computer - 18.04 - isn't showing anything on the monitors, how can I "restart" it without restarting the whole machine? I'm looking at possibly restarting the gnome session while ssh'd in from my macbook06:29
yvyzMan I cannot figure this one out.06:30
dixoncxso we need to do for kernel upgrades after setting up cryptsetup - encrypted swap ?06:30
yvyzCannot find anything06:30
client35since I'm ssh'd in, I tried running the following but I believe it's trying to apply that to my ssh connection06:30
client35$ gnome-shell --replace06:30

lotuspsychjeyvyz: are you on wayland or xorg?06:34
yvyzx1106:36
yvyzIm currently recursively grepping my entire drive for references to nautilus06:36
lotuspsychjeyvyz: try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus-data06:37
yvyzDid that a bit ago. no dice06:37
* yvyz wonders if reboot magic will work.06:38
lotuspsychjeyvyz: check also dconf-editor for nautilus & vnc06:38
yvyznothing out of the orginary. normal nautilus settings06:42
yvyzand then the password setting for vnc06:42
yvyzthat was it06:42
lotuspsychjeyvyz: you still got ./vnc files in your home?06:43
yvyzrm -rf'd em06:44
lotuspsychjeweird06:44
yvyzYea I know06:44
lotuspsychjeyvyz: did you check all your workspaces too?06:45
yvyzSure did06:45
lotuspsychjeyvyz: can you try from synaptic, see if there are multiple nautilus there06:48
lotuspsychjeyvyz: or try: export DISPLAY=:106:51
yvyzdid not work06:52
lotuspsychjeyikes06:52
yvyzstill attemping 206:53
yvyzyea and synaptic shows no duplicates06:53
yvyzi wonder if I need to just reinstlal ubuntu-desktop06:53
yvyz:(06:53
lotuspsychjenautilus probably thinks it needs to launch on screen 2 vnc06:53
yvyzyea, thats what I am thinking06:54
lotuspsychjethe question is why, after killing vnc06:54
lotuspsychjeand where :p06:54
yvyzand now I get the gtk warnings06:55
yvyzhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/72fKdrW5Tr/06:55
yvyzI went back and made sure it was attempting :1 from before and it was06:55
yvyzfor something reason something is screwed06:55
lotuspsychjeyvyz: what about  export DISPLAY=:0 ?06:56
yvyzmaybe I should nuke my gtk-#.# folders?06:56
yvyzneg06:56
yvyzok06:57
yvyzwait06:57
yvyzi cycled throuhg them06:57
yvyzand I can run nautilus from terminal again06:57
yvyzstill cannot get nautilus to launch with the launcher06:57
yvyzinteresting06:58
yvyzas long as the nautilus progam is running from terminal, I can run nautilus from the launcher06:58
lotuspsychjeweird that06:59
yvyzSo when nautilus runs from the  laucnher, it is always trying :206:59
yvyzWhere it should be trying :006:59
yvyzSo, the vnc config somewhere screwed something up.06:59
lotuspsychjeyvyz: check properties of the nautilus icon in /usr/share/applications?06:59
yvyzI will note that I was never able to get the vnc to show gnome at alleither... in fact JUST nautilus06:59
yvyzyea, theres multiple declarations in there07:00
yvyzhttps://termbin.com/tl6y07:01
whoareUhow to build a lan with two linux pc and one cable07:02
yvyzwhoareU: a crossover cable07:02
lotuspsychjeyvyz: how about a nautilus purge, remove configs, remove icons from share, clean all system with bleachbit and reboot :p07:03
whoareUi dont know how to configure07:03
yvyzHa07:04
yvyzwhoareU: crossover cable07:04
yvyzlotuspsychje: all the .desktop's exec reference nautilus --new-window07:05
yvyzlotuspsychje: literally nothing in here out of the ordinary07:05
yvyzlotuspsychje: mabe some .X file is effed somewhere?07:05
lotuspsychjei only got 3 nautilus icons in there07:05
yvyzWhich is why I wanted to figure out which file the launcher is referencing07:05
yvyzAnd I think i found it07:05
lotuspsychjeaha!07:05
yvyz/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop07:06
yvyzStill, the exec command is good07:06
yvyzSo it must be something with gnome-session maybe?07:06
yvyzUgh. this is just one of those things... ya07:10
lotuspsychjeyvyz: im sure a new user might work07:11
yvyzooh. lemme try07:11
yvyzwoudnt ya know07:14
yvyzso its a user setting07:14
yvyzhm. now to compare07:14
lotuspsychjedid it work?07:14
yvyzyea under the test user07:14
yvyzran right away07:14
lotuspsychjecool07:14
lotuspsychjeyvyz: so your idea of reinstalling ubuntu-desktop could work07:15
yvyzBut now, like, which setting could be botched?07:15
yvyzyea it could.07:15
yvyzwell.07:22
yvyzSo i logged out/in again.07:22
yvyzNautilus works. Terminal does not07:22
lotuspsychjeoO07:22
yvyzSo here I am on another tty07:22
yvyzI wonder if even a ubuntu-desktop reinstall would work at this point07:23
yvyzI dont understand, I literally touched  NOTHING of those configs07:23
yvyzI think gnome-session is the culprit07:23
lotuspsychjeyeah but i think tightvnc did07:23
yvyzyea07:23
yvyzI think its attempting to launch in the tightvnc's session07:24
yvyzAnd there is not one, so it fails.07:24
lotuspsychjeyep07:24
lotuspsychjebut only in your user07:24
nakamakicompare a working users hidden files in the home dir with yours07:26
yvyzhmm. oneof the configs i tried -> export "XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1"07:26
nakamakisounds like theres files missing07:26
yvyzhmm. oneof the configs i tried -> " export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1"07:26
yvyzI wonder if that is it?07:26
yvyzIm flipping between tty's so... brb07:27
nakamakiwhat happens when you login as the working user, su to the not working one and launch nautilus from the commandline?07:28
nakamakiand vice versa07:28
yvyzit works from the new user07:28
yvyzwhich is a tell that its a user config07:28
yvyzbut ive been flying threw all of mine and cannot find anything07:28
yvyzMaybe its been exported into  my environment?07:28
nakamakiare there any log entries?07:28
yvyzsuch as?07:30
nakamakierrors, information?07:30
yvyzwhich log?07:31
yvyznothing crazy shows from printenv07:31
nakamakicheck ls /var/log for anything interesting07:31
lotuspsychjenakamaki: he pasted errors above; nautilus error on display 207:31
yvyzSyslog only dumps that nautilus is trying for DISPLAY=:207:31
nakamakiand also look into the syslog07:31
yvyzSo we went through that. A new user is able to work correctly.07:32
yvyzAnd now that terminal will no run (with various errors) i am inclined to think gnome-session is at fault.07:32
yvyzI can execute chrome... etc07:33
nakamakido you use 2 displays?07:33
yvyzand i use gnome-terminal07:33
yvyz307:33
yvyzDISPLAY is in reference to DISPLAY server07:33
lotuspsychjeyvyz: lets create a new bug for this, imagine more users trying out tightvnc..07:33
nakamakimight be related to a xorg config issue as well07:33
yvyzthats what I am thinking as well07:33
yvyzbut for the life of me. I cannot find a file that references this07:33
yvyzlotuspsychje: I would, but I was using tightvnc /usr/lib/vncviewer configs that I found07:34
yvyzand also none of them seemed to do anything... crazy07:34
lotuspsychjeyvyz: did you follow a tightvnc tut?07:35
yvyzHmm. i get:: gnome_shell[12996]: g_array_unref: assertion 'array' failed.07:36
yvyzWhen attempting to launch terminal07:36
yvyzlotuspsychje: a couple different onces. none of them worked.07:36
lotuspsychjelol07:36
yvyzok. so directly, i get -> Error creating terminal: No such interface 'org.gnome.Terminal.Factory0' on object path /org/gnome/Terminal/Factory007:38
yvyzCan umm, someone google that quick?07:38
yvyzI just wanted to enjoy my night. And now I am!07:40
yvyzI am [..........|] <- This close to reinstalling ubuntu-desktop07:40
yvyzbut everything tells me to find the real problem and fixerize it07:41
nakamakitheres people suggesting to "locale-gen", "localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and reboot07:41
lotuspsychjeyeah good idea07:41
lotuspsychjeyvyz: before your fix, create ubuntu-bug nautilus07:42
lotuspsychjeit might help alot of other users07:42
yvyzoh F07:43
yvyzOne of the scripts 'unset SESSION_MANAGER'07:43
yvyzcan one of you echo yours?07:43
yvyzand echo DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS07:44
yvyzThe script had me unset BOTH of those.07:45
lotuspsychjeyvyz: command?07:45
yvyzthose are environment vars07:45
yvyzecho $SESSION_MANAGER07:45
yvyzand echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS07:45

yvyzno x11 folder08:00
yvyzi reinstalled ubuntu-destop... nothing08:00
yvyzno change08:00
lotuspsychjeyikes08:00
yvyzI think I need to completely purge gnome and ubuntu from my machine08:00
yvyzand reinstall that way08:00
lotuspsychjeyeah nuke the whole thing08:00
yvyzlemme try a normal reboot first08:01
yvyzOk. Phew.08:06
yvyzEverything works.08:06
yvyzBut why.08:06
yvyzYea. it was the evironment variables.08:07
yvyzI have like 5 or 6 more now08:07
yvyzLesson: When messing with gnome-session servers foro vnc servers, remember to restart  your  machine08:08

yuradocHello. don't understand. it worked before. i did use 'git pull' to retrive newest code. After that I can't edit those files with editors installed.10:17
yuradocinteresting that that relates to GUI only. if i use terminal 'nano' it works10:17
yuradocwhat's the error: "Error opening file... Read only file system The file or disk may now be truncated"10:18
yuradocit's MATE DE10:18
xiaxiaoyu121382hello10:26
guiverc_dyuradoc, if your file-system is read-only, it usually means an error has occurred (power surge, minor hardware glitch etc) and an error-state has been detected, meaning it was made RO to protect your data.  You need to fsck (file-system check) then it'll usually return to mountable as read-write or good for normal use10:27
yuradocinteresting that i can create files/folders there10:29
yuradocwithouut any problems10:29
guiverc_dI was assuming read-only file system was a Linux (kernel error message), if from an app/program, you'll have to see what it means in that case by consulting the app/programs documentation (the kernel error isn't the same as you gave, no mention of truncated)10:31
guiverc_dyuradoc, this may help if it's what I was thinking (kernel protection error; rw file system made ro) - https://askubuntu.com/questions/197459/how-to-fix-sudo-unable-to-open-read-only-file-system10:32
yuradoci was wrong. sudo works with gui too10:33

TheEagerPadawanhi gents, if i do a dns lookup via nslookup or dig i get 127.0.0.1 as answer, how do i resolve this issue so it picks up the dns servers that i added to /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/tail10:53
yvyzTheEagerPadawan: dig whatever.com @namerserver.yea10:55
MeiliSbur3: formatting is the process of clearing all data. What do you want to accomplish exactly?10:55
guiverc_dSbur3, that (cp $HOME) would be good enough for most users I'd bet10:55
TheEagerPadawanyvyz: i doesn't seem to pickup the dns servers that i configured via /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/tails10:56
guiverc_dthe formatting without loosing data 2nd part confused me - my prior statement was to first line only Sbur310:56

Ntemisyeah but is not ok this part of the world11:56
yvyzAll dpkg is trying to prevent you from doing is ruining it by locking out other processes when one already has it in use.11:56
Ntemisi dont see any process keeping dpkg occupied11:57
Ntemislooks like am stuck at 18.04.111:57
yvyzWell11:57
yvyzYou can always reboot.11:58
Ntemiswhy?11:58
yvyzAnd attempt your dist-upgrade11:58

Ntemisty @yvyz12:02
yvyznp12:02
yvyzI set security updates to automatic, and the rest to show up weekly12:02
yvyzSome of the normal updates are very large and can... upset you like this.12:02
yvyzBut you should be happy with yourself. Because you actually guess that that was what was happening.12:02
yvyzand it makes sense because apt-cache-ng was probably working on pre-downloading the updates before the install.12:03

andre144ki think understand why, cause the files do have holes, so they dont use the complete storage...12:31

samgoodyHi all. Anyone around who can help with iptables?12:39
samgoodyhttps://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/tfjDQPn9sDaXQAsjj4sW~Q12:39
samgoodyI want to forward 80->3000, and 443->8443. 80 works, 443 doesnt12:40
nakamakisamgoody: clean up first please :)12:42
nakamakialso the order of your rules do actually matter12:42
samgoodyI am still learning. When you say clean up, you mean delete the duplicate rules?12:43
samgoodyI tried to sudo iptables -D PREROUTING 3 in order to remove the duplicate, but get a response of iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.12:44
samgoody(Have been trying to RTFM but am a bit overwhelmed and confused by all the options.) Is there a way I can edit the rules in a Vim like interface?12:46
JimBuntuWell, you could always directly alter the save file... /etc/iptables/rules.v4 or ending in v612:46
JimBuntuI presume this is debian based12:47
yvyzYuu are portforwarding outgoing connections?12:49
samgoodyOn Ubuntu, have node running on ports 3000/8443. Want it to be handled as though it were on ports 80/443.12:50
yvyzOk12:50
samgoodyI edited the /etc/iptables/rules.v4, how to reload the rules?12:50
nakamakisamgoody: you would have to iptables -D PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination :300012:50
yvyzHave you set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1?12:51
yvyzand /etc/sysctl.conf:net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 ?12:51
samgoodyno. but port 80 -> 3000 seems to be working fine12:52
nakamakithe DNAT rule for 8443 is below the REDIRECT rules12:52
nakamakifor the working 80->3000 rules its above the REDIRECT rules12:53
samgoodyHow do I reload the rules?12:53
yvyzYea you have duplicate entries.12:53
yvyzsudp iptables -F12:53
yvyzsudo*12:53
yvyzWill flush all chains to empt12:53

nakamakiiptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 844312:54
nakamakishouldnt need more12:54
yvyz^ yep12:55
samgoodyum, i did sudo iptables -F and it SSH promptly logged me out and wont let me back in12:57
yvyzSince iptables doesnt save without iptables-save, you could reboot, or use your providors web console to log in and open 22.12:57
yvyzDidnt know it was a remote host.12:57
samgoodyI assume that was idiotic on my part, what was I supposed to have done to prevent that12:58
nakamakiuhm13:00
nakamakiusually if you flush iptables you should still be able to connect13:00
nakamakiif 22 really is your ssh port and not just forwarded13:01
yvyzYea, theres no rules disallowing you13:01
nakamakibut i cant see an ssh rule on your iptables13:01
samgoodyThank you. Will take some time to reboot, so brb13:02
nakamakinext time nmap your server before rebooting :)13:03

samgoodyIt has not been flushed, but has the changes I made manually13:10
samgoodyI can try flushing again, and worst case will reboot the server. Maybe the issue had to do with my manually editing the v4 file before running flush13:11
yvyzen1gma: It seems like you are attempting to install a very out of date driver.13:12

yvyzAMD drivers says "up to 1.10" yours is "1.19"13:24

en1gmais that done with mesa?13:25
en1gmaor do you think its just the driver im using?13:25
yvyzThe driver  you are trying to install is not compliant with your xserver configuration.13:26
samgoodyOk, done. I assume I now have to save these rules so that they persist. Use $ sudo netfilter-persistent save` ?13:26
yvyzyou need to find the latest driver for your card.13:26
nakamakisamgoody: you can always test before saving13:26
nakamakithe rules are active imminently13:26
yvyz^13:26
en1gmayvyz lemme do some looking. from everything i read so far they say use the mesa driver as its better then the amd driver anyhow. if i could "switch" between my intel and amd opencl driver it would be great. cant that be done with mesa?13:27
yvyzIm not sure. I run nvidia.13:27
yvyzAnd CUDA > *13:27
yvyz<313:27
en1gmayvyz https://termbin.com/nfok13:28
en1gmayea but even with nvidia i think it can use mesa too13:28
nakamakiwhen i started linux things, nvidia always was the goto option. so i kept using nv13:28
nakamakialso shadow play is p nice for streaming heh13:29
yvyzen1gma: if you want opencl to target your card do you real need the os driver for it?13:30
yvyzdont answer that13:30
samgoodyIt does not seem to  be forwrading13:31
yvyzen1gma: what does ubuntu-drivers say?13:31
en1gmait dont show any available i dont think. you are talking in download center?13:32
samgoodyI decided to go with port 3443 this time instead of 8443. When I load node on example.com:3443 it loads, but on example.com:443 it does not13:32
yvyzopen terminal -> run: ubuntu-drivers list13:32
yvyzYou should already have the mesa generics isntalled for AMD13:32
samgoodyAlso, oddly enough all the mess that I had before is still there when I do  sudo iptables -L -t nat13:34
en1gmayvyz yea it dont list anything13:34

Cheezyvyz: apparently very very difficult15:17
Cheezit has lots of type coercion impied in the spec, and different parsers do it differently15:18
Cheezsame for references between yaml files15:18
Cheezand parsing AllOf: or OneOf: seems to work differently in different parsers, although that's becoming more universal nwo15:18
yvyzI love it when companies see soeomthing new and go "Oh yea, lets store all this relevant data in yaml and lets compile it all with lint, and include it into our next zero day release. the hackers will love. ok break"15:19
Cheezthe one i really like is the different parsers that try and be clever15:21
Cheez"oh that looks like an iso 8601 date, imma make it a date object"15:21
yvyzLol. I guess... unless its some web technology, why would I not use create an object serializer for myself with the language I am using...15:21
Cheezexcept, there are really weird constraints15:21
yvyzThen I can have data contracts, and something called "integrity"15:21
Cheezi live in kubernetesland, everything is yaml15:22
Cheezoh and all apis we produce have to be documented using openapi 3, which is traditionally defined by yaml15:22
Cheezi know almost all of it can be json instead, but for some reason the entire world uses yaml15:22

ryahi_skaprinavhow do i change from caja to files in ubuntu-mate 16.0415:51
ZeroWalkerif it helps, i am not limited to firejail, i just use it with --overlay to prevent the applications that run (firefox, libreoffice etc) to save anything permanently, whatever makes that happens works for me15:55
ryahi_skaprinavi changed the default to files instead of caja in preferred applications but it is not working15:56

ash_worksiokay, so I wanted to add ~/.local/bin to my PATH, I threw it in .bash_profile and opened a new console. `declare -p PATH` didn't show the change and I read that Ubuntu uses .profile now (I assumed in 18.x) so I `mv .bash_profile .profile` ... I continued to read and got the feeling that was a bad idea and could revert using `cp /etc/skel/.profile ~/.profile` ; but looking at .profile it's supposed to16:09
ash_worksimake that change anyway... doesn't opening a new console window create a new session which in turn reads .profile? Why is it _still_ not showing up in PATH?16:09
lordcirthash_worksi, exactly what line did you insert in .profile?16:10
ash_worksilordcirth: I reverted via `cp /etc/skel/.profile ~/.profile`16:10
ash_worksibut I guess .profile is only read once on startup16:10
ash_worksiso I have to `. ~/.profile`16:11
lordcirth.profile is read on login, .bashrc is read on each new shell. So yes, you should source it16:11

johnfgSwedeMike: I think we've ruled out it's a problem with ubuntu, per se; and is most likely a problem with sudo interacting with slapd.16:47
johnfg#ldap pretty much ruled out that the problem is from openldap as well.16:48
johnfgI probably inadvertently caused the problem when I decided to give root a password, instead of always using sudo =i, or such.  I think that's when the problem started.16:49

WonnyAnyone ever had problems connecting to their university/work wifi on ubuntu?17:21
WonnyI've put in the correct security parameters, but it won't let me connect in specific buildings. In others it works perfectly fine though.17:22
lotuspsychjeWonny: a good wifi connection depends on many things17:23
lotuspsychjeWonny: best to ask your issue with as much details possible to the channel17:23
ioriaWonny, probably using  WPA-Enterprise17:24
WonnyHere are the security settings. WPA2-Enterprise, PEAP, No CA Certificate, Automatic PEAP Version, InnerAuthentication: MSHCHAPv217:26
WonnyI've gone to several IT desks at my university and they can't seem to find out what the problem is17:26
leftyfbWonny: if it works in one place and not the other and both of them are the same credentials, then the issue is not with your laptop. I would contact your university IT support17:26
WonnyI can connect fine in one building, but I can't in another building. This is a recent issue. At the start of the semester I could connect to the wifi in all buildings.17:26
lotuspsychjeWonny: can you tell us more about your ubuntu version and wifi chipset aswell?17:26
WonnyUbuntu 18.04.2 LTS and Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev cb)17:29

leftyfbWe are in the process of replacing literally hundreds of those are our company. They die after 6 months to a year of use.17:30
leftyfbNo, I mean the wifi chipset17:31
WonnyMaybe the problem is my wifi chipset17:32
WonnyWell, time to go buy a MAC17:32
lotuspsychjeWonny: didnt you say it worked well before?17:32
Wonny@lotuspsychje, yes it did work well before.17:32
leftyfblotuspsychje: the issues with them are intermittent17:32
leftyfbthey're fine for 6 months to a year. Then it just starts crashing and won't join wifi unless you powercycle17:32
WonnyAt the start of the semester it was fine. Then sometime in february it stopped connecting17:33
leftyfbeven then, sometimes it'll crash right after the reboot17:33
leftyfbit's an EOL chipset as well17:33
WonnyMaybe it is a problem with my schools network. I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing this problem though17:35

leftyfbtellin ya. Those things are garbage. It's not even a bad batch either. We bought some from ebay and amazon as replacements and those all died within 6-12 months as well. I spent a year troubleshooting every bit of wpasupplicant, driver, firmware, kernel and bug report on them. They just randomly remove themselves from the pci bus.17:53
lotuspsychjewe believe you leftyfb but as long as the hardware works, we need to help the users right?17:54
leftyfbWonny: when it crashes next time, grep for "Failed to wake NIC for hcmd" in your syslog. If you see that, you know it's the same issue.17:55
leftyfbWonny: actually, just grep for it now. If you see tons of entries, you know it's the bad wifi chipset.17:56
WonnyThis is a great lidl community here17:56
leftyfbWonny: sudo zgrep "Failed to wake NIC for hcmd" /var/log/syslog*17:56
Wonnyleftyfb, Nothing came up when I copy and pasted that17:57
leftyfblotuspsychje: the funny part is, I captured the dmesg when it fails. Saved it. Then I started fresh and ripped the wifi card out while the machine was running. The dmesg errors were identical.17:58
leftyfbI have a script that will reset the pci bus and re-establish a connection to the card. But it's a losing battle.17:58

lordcirthhans_, Normally an IO error would indicate a hardware problem. Not sure about this virtual CD, though.21:31

cutecyclehello; how would i initialize a Unity configuration (desktop folder, etc) for an existing user on an ubuntu machine that did not have Unity preinstalled?21:39
lordcirthcutecycle, that stuff ought to get created on login; is it not?21:40
hans_lordcirth, long story short, to remove-control this server, i had to make a windows XP VM with an ancient browser and ancient Java JRE to get the remote control to work.21:40
hans_s/remove/remote21:40
cutecycleah like, on first login after restart?21:40
cutecycleshoot21:40
cutecycleis it possible to create these things before that first login, or will they be overwritten?21:41
lordcirthcutecycle, just logging out and back in using Unity, I *think*21:41
lordcirthhans_, fun. You are going to replace that server soon, right? :P21:41
cutecyclebasically i want to place some files on the desktop in advance21:41
lordcirthcutecycle, oh, just on the Desktop? You can create ~/Desktop , it won't be overwritten21:41
cutecycleoh phew thanks21:42
hans_lordcirth, no. i've been upgrading it to 2x10TB disks, and is going to use it as a fileserver. it should still be able to do that job nicely (2x Xeon X5450 @3GHz and 32GB DDR2 ram @667MHz.... uhhh rite) - i do feel sorry for the guys that pay the power bill, but it was the same guys that pay the powerbill that suggested this, so...21:43
lordcirthhans_, did you quote them the cost of replacing it at emergency speed when it suddenly dies? :P21:44
hans_no.. but the harddrives are brand new, and any system with 4x SATA ports should be able to replace it rather easily, hrm21:44
hans_do old servers (2006-era in this case) have a habbit of randomly die-ing tho?21:46
lordcirthWell, there's a reason most servers have a 3 year warranty. Past that the chance of failure steadily increases.21:49
hans_any idea what part of this may be harddrives? https://i.imgur.com/up9Ql8c.png21:51
hans_sg2 + something may be off screen?21:52
tewardhans_: might be easier to look at `lsblk` to get the /dev/ items that're 'drives'21:53
tewardthen determine which ones arent (`/dev/loop` for instance is not actual hard drives)21:53
hans_lovely, /bin/sh: lsblk: not found21:53
hans_same for parted and fdisk21:53
hans_oh yes things are definitely out of view - sda and sg0/sg1/sg2 and sr0 and sr1 exists21:55
tewardoh dear21:56
tewardhans_: blkid <-- might also help21:56
tewardi keep forgetting if `lsblk` is a default :P21:56
tewardbut pretty sure blkid is present.  (Or it should be anyways)21:56
hans_blkid exists! no idea how to use it tho21:56
hans_off to the manpages21:56
tewardhans_: well, blkid will list the partition IDs and data about the drives/partitions on disk - you can get the device fielpaths in /dev/ with the first column there21:58
tewardnot sure about the sg ones, but sr is probably CD/DVD drives21:58
lordcirthteward, lsblk is installed by default on server, but not in busybox. Not sure about mini iso21:59
xaeB5anyone know an easy to use software to cut out sections of video/audio files? something simpler than kdenlive if possible21:59
tewardlordcirth: indeed.21:59
hans_can confirm, mini.iso does *NOT* have lsblk (or my mini.iso is corrupt)21:59
lordcirthxaeB5, like, delete a section and paste it back together?22:00
xaeB5lordcirth: just like if i wanted to for example remove a scene from a movie22:00
lordcirthYou *can* do it with ffmpeg22:00
lordcirthBut a GUI would probably be easier22:00
xaeB5yea i would prefer gui, or if you know of a gui with ffmpeg backend22:01
tgm4883"simpler than kdenlive if possible"? Last time I used kdenlive it was pretty simple22:01
xaeB5maybe i will just try to use that22:02
hans_installing the last XP-compatible version of Cygwin was a no-go.. now i'm downloading the last XP-compatible version of php-cli so i can run `hash_file("md5","mini.iso")` .. x.x22:03
blebhere's a weird thing: man -l $HOME/man/man1/hub.1 works, but MANPATH=$HOME/man man hub doesn't22:05
blebam i misunderstanding how to add a man directory to my manpath?22:05
cryptodan_mobileYou need the /22:13
blebcryptodan_mobile: like so?22:14
blebMANPATH=$HOME/man/ man hub22:14
blebthat doesnt work either22:14
OerHeksbleb, you gave your solution, so i wonder why you wonder it does not work22:15
OerHeksman -l $HOME/man/man1/hub.1 works, ...22:16
cryptodan_mobileThis >>>> man -l $HOME/man/man1/hub.1 works<<<<22:16
lordcirthWell,  presumably they would prefer to be able to set a variable and not have to do that every time?22:16
bleblordcirth: duh22:16
OerHeks MANPATH does not seem to exist on Ubuntu. Instead the file /etc/manpath.config is used.22:18
blebso what would be a good way to have man pages in my home dir22:21
blebbased on manpath(5) it looks like i can have my own configurations in ~/.manpath but its not clear how to simply add a directory to the path22:23
hans_i want the server TZ to be UTC, is it ok to lie here? https://i.imgur.com/SqZT9vq.png22:26
hans_(well, UTC+0 )22:26
hans_what is "biosgrub"?22:30
hans_https://i.imgur.com/SqZT9vq.png22:30
lordcirthhans_, that's the timezone screenshot again.22:37
hans_oh.. well the screenshot url is lost and the partition, whatever it was, is deleted (the partition table was re-created from scratch) so whatever, probably wasn't important. (or this thing needs a special partition to boot and i just killed it, idk)22:38
Sleakerbiosgrub is probably talking about installing bios with grub. (best guess)22:39
blebmanpath(5) says "If the environment variable $MANPATH is already  set,  the  information contained within /etc/manpath.config will not override it."22:39
hans_Sleaker, the ubuntu installer disk partitioner said the partition had a "biosgrub" filesystem22:39
blebi put export MANPATH=$HOME/man:$MANPATH in ~/.profile and logged out/back in, and this doesnt help22:39
OerHeks'biosgrub' partition you read about22:39
blebso not sure what that line in the manpage is supposed to mean22:40
OerHeksUEFI that is22:40
hans_oh22:40
Sleakeroh22:40
hans_lets hope it was nothing important..22:40
Sleakeryah it's the alternative to installing grub fully into MBR for bios22:40
Sleakerwell it means you wont be able to boot via UEFI22:41
Sleakerif it was getting used.22:41

=== phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy
AnthaasI have a script which starts a service - I need to run it at boot (to start the service) but it needs to be started by a specific user - how can I do this?22:50
hans_do i need UEFI to boot from GPT partitions?22:50
Anthaas(I have created a specific user for the service so that it has restricted permissions)22:50
OerHekswith systemd you would enable the service like systemctl enable apache2; systemctl status apache222:53
OerHeksif you have restricted a user, that is fine22:53
hans_what's the difference between `service apache2 status`  and `systemctl status apache2` ?22:54
OerHeksthe last one is systemd specific22:55
Sleakerhans_: with systemd, 'service' is just a wrapper for systemctl22:55
Sleakeror mostly a convenient wrapper for init.d scripts that includes systemctl functionality22:55
AnthaasWas any of that a response to me?22:56
hans_not from me at least22:56
SleakerAnthaas: no22:57
Sleakerit was for hans_22:57
OerHeksAnthaas, yes, i forget using names22:57
AnthaasAhhh - thanks - wasn't sure about OerHeks's responses since it mentions restricted user too22:57
tgm4883Anthaas: you have a script that starts a service? Why not just set the service to start at boot and skip the script?22:57
AnthaasIts TeamCity from Jetbrains22:58
lordcirthAnthaas, you can make a simple .service file and specify User=22:58
AnthaasThey release with as a .tar.gz which, when unzipped, has a number of scripts - one of which runs the server.22:58
tgm4883Those are just words and names to me22:58
OerHeksAnthaas, oke, does that give a .service file ?22:58
AnthaasIt does not, unfortunately. I have put it into a "teamcity" user's home directory.22:58
Sleakerif you need a init.d script to start as a specific user you usually write the script to su to the user, sudo, or run the service under the user via some mechanism22:58
AnthaasIf I try to run the "teamcity-server.sh run" command from any user other than "teamcity" it fails.22:59
Sleakerfor .service via systemd see lordcirth's answer.22:59
AnthaasOk - so I need to look into how to create a .service file myself.22:59
lordcirthAnthaas, an example: https://gist.github.com/lordcirth/378ae7c3a8d2786874d00867098cbad122:59
lordcirthAnd the docs: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html22:59
AnthaasThanks lordcirth23:00
OerHeksyou could put that service file in /etc/systemd/user or $HOME/.config/systemd/user23:00
OerHeksbut if you granted access properly, that would not make a difference23:00
AnthaasSorry - disconnected.23:08
AnthaasThanks - I'll take a look at this now.23:08
AnthaasGreat - I now have a .service file, enabled through systemctl, it starts and stops fine, and works as expected - how do I get this to run at boot?23:16
AnthaasOr is that enough?23:16
Anthaasinit.d rings a bell here?23:16
jeremy31Anthaas: Have you rebooted since enabling the service to see if it does work?23:18
AnthaasI've killed and started the service?23:18
AnthaasI don't mean I've checked running at boot, just that the service file does indeed launch teamcity and I can access it.23:19
tgm4883Anthaas: If you've enabled it, it should run at boot I believe23:21
OerHekssome service files are designed to respawn, like pulseaudio23:23
lordcirthAnthaas, if 'systemctl enable teamcity' works, then it should start at boot23:24
lordcirthBut make sure it has an 'Install' section that actually defines when it should be run23:25
OerHeksthere is only 1 way to find out: reboot.23:25
AnthaasI will do shortly :)23:28
AnthaasThanks!23:28

cxc99oh i googled it and it says it's gnome's fault.......so i'll just remove it23:50
jeremy31cxc99: are you using resolvconf in Ubuntu 16.0423:52
OerHeksbasicly; Debian than ubuntu choose to define 127.0.1.1 for mapping the ip of your host_name in case that you have no network https://serverfault.com/a/36309823:52
