=== sinner is now known as Guest12399 [00:19] how do i get ubuntu to stop turning off my tv when i lock my computer [00:37] how can I remove an installed program (tar)? [00:38] a tarred program is only 'installed' insofar as it's extracted onto your system [00:38] the typical method of installing software is via dpkg/apt which use the debian packaging system [00:38] depends what was in that tar, if you had to upack it and run the exectable, just remove that polder [00:38] so if you didn't install it via dpkg/apt then you're kind of on your own with what the tarred program did if you've run any sort of install scripts that came with it === daniel is now known as Guest97080 [00:39] if all you did was untar it. probably just delete the directly. [00:39] c/polder/folder [00:39] directory* [00:41] I've installed it (make install) [00:42] rebab: so you built some app from source. [00:42] rebab: you should check what the makefile does when install is called so you know how to reverse it [00:42] rebab, without knowing what program, i hope you build uninstall too :-D [00:43] so sparse with information, you can get many answers [00:43] rebab: basically, you've just done something to your system that we can't really tell you what it did, and you're not using the normal software installation method. You're kind of in the 'do it only if you know what you're doing' area. [00:43] what ubuntu version, what program, what manual did you follow? [00:46] i've figured it out. "make uninstall" worked [00:47] :-) [01:12] anyone know of sites like cryptopals, except for a different topic than cryptography? I like the challenges and how each subsequent challenge build on top of the previous ones https://cryptopals.com/ [01:22] how can i know it is 64bit or 32bit? [01:23] badSophia: uname -i [01:23] badSophia: 'uname -m' too :) [01:23] x86-64 is 64bit or 32bit? [01:24] badSophia: 64 [01:24] ah 8) [01:24] thanks [01:25] me again. how can I remove a program's config file without remove it? [01:29] . [01:36] I have tried install LAMP in a new install of 18.4 server twice using this guide https://dzone.com/articles/install-lamp-on-ubuntu-1804-1 And another time using another guide I can't find. And mysql keeps demanding a password I never set. As soon as I get to mysql_secure_installation it asks for a password. My account password doesn't work. Blank doesn't work. What is going on? Is there [01:36] a better guide to follow? [01:37] p.s. By twice, I mean formatting the hdd and installing the OS again [01:37] why does ubuntu server require frequent reboots? [01:37] like every week or bi-weekly [01:38] cim209: It shouldn't. Most run without reboot for years on end. It probably has to do with your configuration. [01:38] openssl update, kernel update .. [01:38] CodeMouse92: the motd shows system restart required [01:38] ShadowWizard: try this: sudo -s -u mysql mysql -u root [01:38] i'm on 18.04 LTS wit livepatch enabled [01:39] check out USN [01:39] cim209: Like OerHeks said...updates. [01:39] assuming you have a mysql user (grep mysql /etc/passwd to check) [01:39] https://usn.ubuntu.com/ [01:39] i do have auto updates enabled but the amount of reboots in ridiculous [01:39] is* [01:39] if you have livepatch enabled, it secures 1 reboot [01:39] so you will need to reboot after al, but on your time [01:40] nisstyre: error 1698 access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' [01:40] ShadowWizard: try doing the mysql_secure_installation script with that [01:40] cim209: https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch <- apply critical kernel security fixes without rebooting , [01:40] Bashing-om: i do have that enabled [01:41] nisstyre: How do I do that. Please how me the enire command. [01:41] OerHeks: it's frequent [01:41] ShadowWizard: I don't have the command. The suggestion is to run it as the "mysql" user [01:41] ShadowWizard: you could try "sudo -s -u mysql", and then run the "mysql_secure_installation" script [01:42] cim209, sorry to hear that, but it is needed. [01:42] nisstyre: I don't know how to do it. Thats why i am asking. I have no idea how it got a password. i never gave it one. i installed apache2, mysql-server, and then ran the script, and it asks for password [01:42] ShadowWizard: are you sure it's not asking you for a password so it can SET one? [01:43] On my system that script says this: "In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank, so you should just press enter here." [01:43] nisstyre: no, because when I enter the password, it sa "Access denied doe user 'root'@'localhost' Its a VM, I can show you a screenshot. [01:43] OerHeks: my dedicated takes forever to boot up [01:43] ShadowWizard: well whatever script or tool you used to set it up must've set the root password then [01:44] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password [01:44] just checked "cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs" and it says linux-base was updated [01:44] nisstyre: I didn't use any. It installed, then I typed the secure command. Let me give you a screenshot [01:44] so i guess it's a necessity [01:45] ShadowWizard: the documentation I just linked tells you how to reset the password without knowing it [01:45] ShadowWizard: your mysql root password is in /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf [01:45] nisstyre: How did a password get set?!?!?! https://i.imgur.com/DqiwWy3.png [01:45] or something similar [01:46] ShadowWizard: that doesn't necessarily mean a password got set [01:46] it's just saying that you couldn't authenticate with the "root" user [01:46] nisstyre: I will try resetting the password, but the last time I tried that it was to no avail.. brb [01:49] nisstyre: Now its says the unix socket file doesn't exist.. Same thing that was happenign last tiem I tried. Screenshot coming [01:50] https://i.imgur.com/7Alm1BL.png [01:50] ShadowWizard: did you look in my.cnf? [01:51] cim209: The directions provided did not tell me to look in there. But last tiem I did that (2 formats before this) it just has 2 inclides. [01:52] ShadowWizard: your root password gets saved in a cnf file in /etc/mysql, just look in all the files [01:53] My quesion is, HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!?!?! Litreally. Install ubuntu. Rebooted VM. Loged in. Did update. Installed apache2, installed mysql. Ran script. BAM! Didn't work. [01:56] cim209: I found the password in a debian.conf file.. WTF?! Anyway I reset the password and will try and reboot it and see what happens. [01:56] ShadowWizard: oh weird [01:57] normally it would be in a my.cnf [01:57] hi [01:57] cim209: I know. That files only has 2 includes. This is TOTALLY FUCKED! Literally BRAND NEW INSTALLS! === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [01:58] ShadowWizard: you should install mysql and your other stack in docker so if you mess up, you don't have to reinstall the whole OS [01:59] I need a windows virtual machine to run quickbooks. Is there any reason that 32-bit vs 64-bit windows would matter for this? [01:59] cim209: changing that password didn't work. Abd whats a docker? I am not a linux guy my any strech of the imagination. i am just trying to follow simple tutorials, and I am askee for passwords that don't exist! === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [02:00] cim209: Perhaps this is a massive BUG? [02:00] Scottbert__: 64-bit is recommended for higher ram machines [02:00] I have 8G on the host system [02:00] 32-bit can only utilize up to 2gb of ram i think [02:01] Anyone else have any suggestions? I can format again and re-install the OS, again.. [02:01] So there's no BENEFIT to using 32-bit, like lower resource usage [02:01] ShadowWizard: did you change the password with mysql_secure_installation [02:02] cim209: It wouldn't run. I ran it, it asked for the current password, I gave it, sait it was wrong. See the screenshot. It shows i JUST installed mysql. [02:03] did you use the password from the cnf file [02:03] cim209: https://i.imgur.com/DqiwWy3.png [02:03] you're doing it wrong, try mysql -u root -p [02:03] cim209: After looking again, it wasn't the password for the root user, it was another password... [02:04] the password in the conf file is the mysql root user password [02:04] cim209: WHAT config file? [02:04] you said you found it in debian.conf? [02:04] No, it was the wrong one.. Just a sec, let me look around at a couple of things.. [02:06] ShadowWizard: https://i.imgur.com/FhzLAoY.png [02:07] cim209: Yea, wish it was that simple... Let me show you the mess I have. [02:08] hello [02:08] cim209: https://i.imgur.com/dUQ2Rp8.png [02:08] more to come [02:08] So, whenever I look up virtualizing windows I get to a step where I'm advised to install a bunch of packages [02:09] check if your password is in one of those files [02:09] but libvirt-bin is not available [02:09] What do I do about it? [02:09] ip tracker ? [02:09] cim209: I did.. please be paitent so I can show you the mess. [02:10] https://i.imgur.com/SxSti7C.png [02:11] ShadowWizard: so what the others said didn't work? stop mysql and then sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking & [02:11] NM, eventually googled the right words to learn that it's been obsoleted in favor of libvirt-daemon [02:11] cim209: SAid it couldn't open a socket or something.. [02:11] maybe your mysql install is borked [02:11] cim209: TWICE?! [02:12] idk [02:12] how to install photoshop CC on Ubuntu? [02:12] cim209: again. Did the followinsg. Erased the VM. Installed ubuntu. Updated. Installed apache2, Installed mysql. Ran script, BANG! Didn't work. [02:12] Erased the VM. Installed ubuntu. Updated. Installed apache2, Installed mysql. Ran script, BANG! Didn't work. [02:12] Yes, TWICE! [02:13] what is the script? [02:13] cim209: [02:13] mysql_secure_installation [02:14] what are you guys talking about ? [02:14] ShadowWizard: yeah weird [02:14] Guest93471: mysql issues [02:15] Is there another tutorial I can follow to get LAMP working? Not that I think it will matter, because its gonna have me do the same thing. [02:16] ShadowWizard: idk, i don't use apache [02:16] i have LEMP stack [02:16] I think apache is irrilevent at this point.. Because its the mysql thats not working. [02:17] I can try the whole thing again, and install mysql first instead. [02:17] why i cant scroll with twofinger ? i have alredy turn on my natural scrolling [02:17] But from my limited knowedge, it shouledn't make a difference,. [02:18] when i first intall ubuntu its work but now didnt work... === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [02:19] Guest12399: Welcome to my world. The only thing I can come up with at this point is there is a MAJOR bug in it somewhere thats fuckign everythign up. [02:20] lol [02:20] -_- [02:22] backbox and ubuntu ? which better ? [02:22] cim209: Did you see the my.cnf file? 2 inclides, thats it [02:23] Guest93471: You ask that in the ubuntu channel .. bet on the response you get :) [02:23] oww sorry === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [02:27] yeah, go with backtrack, kali is old [02:28] Is there an install method to get a bootable USB drive that's a full/portable ubuntu installation? [02:28] put the iso on 1 usb, and perform the install to the 2nd [02:29] yeah I should probably just do that. I've tried doing usb passthrough on virtualbox and vmware from osx, and I even looked into how to pass through a usb drive on hyper-v on windows 10. (I don't have a currently running linux box at the moment) [02:30] you could deploy a vmware image, and store it on usb [02:30] running from usb is sad [02:31] goal of running from USB is to test how well it works on some different laptop hardware without nuking the existing OS [02:31] Ok guys, the Ubuntu community convinced me . . . I am gonna try Ubuntu LTS as my new webserver. [02:31] last time I tried running linux on a laptop was over a decade ago [02:31] and it didn't go well [02:31] so I'm not ready to nuke the existing os [02:31] programmerq: I wouldn't think that is a fair assessment though, since your bottle necked by the throughput of the USB device [02:31] I was asking this question earlier today, and was unfortunately disconnected. [02:32] Found solution. I wasn't using sudo when runnign the script.. [02:32] I'm not worried about speed-- I'm worried about whether trackpad/wifi/etc work out of the box. [02:32] programmerq: you couldn't assess performance, you could test functionality [02:32] function keys, brightness [02:32] yup [02:32] that's my goal [02:32] Does anyone know of a guide to creating an LXC image of Ubuntu Server for my virtulazation server? [02:32] programmerq: and for that, you just need to image the live installer to the USB drive... no need for extra stuff [02:33] in these 10 years linux made a huge jump, but an installation swapping from machine to machine,.. the GPU driver might need some work [02:33] programmerq: with USB you can get persistance though, which allows you to place on your desired settings for things [02:33] yup, persistence is part of what I need for testing different settings over several boots [02:34] programmerq: You can make a persistant USB... it's not hard [02:34] pragmaticenigma▸ that was my lead in question... [02:34] and I got an answer [02:34] and I'm going for it [02:35] ah, okay... saw a rabbit hole of vmware and all sorts of other things [02:35] yup, lol [02:35] when i login it says 26 packages can be updated. 13 updates are security updates [02:36] programmerq: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent . === sinner is now known as Guest72088 [02:36] i have the server set for just security updates [02:36] Bashing-om▸ I had come across that, but the only linux systems I have at the moment are virtualized, hence my previous rabbit hole of vmware and usb passthrough [02:36] Ok well, anyone here have any experience with creating LXC containers in Ubuntu? [02:36] !enter | Deihmos [02:36] Deihmos: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === bacchus is now known as Guest16795 [02:39] programmerq: :D Then as OerHeks Pointed out ... 2 USBs should do the trick. [02:39] yup! [02:39] programmerq: Please keep in mind that not all USB drives are created equally, there were some FreeNAS installs that wore out their USB boot drive quite quickly and crashed. [02:39] I'm certainly not worried about that for this short term functionality verification exercise. [02:41] Can I get a GRUB commandline from a liveUSB? [02:42] deleted the partition with my GRUB without thinking.. need to boot windows somehow to repair its MBR [02:42] !recovery | sethj [02:42] sethj: 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 [02:43] sethj: Sorry... that might have the information you're looking for [02:44] sethj: The answer to your question is yes, you can use the Live image to fix your machine [02:44] sethj: I think this is what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [02:44] pragmaticenigma: yeah, there's no Linux left on this machine atm. [02:46] I thought I could get a grub command prompt from the liveUSB to manually boot windows, but it doesn't seem like that's actually an option [02:47] use a windows iso to fix that [02:47] Okay thunderbird is losing all its passwords every time I close and reopen it [02:47] This is untenable, any advice? [02:47] OerHeks: I don't have one handy, but I guess I might have to [02:48] its a free download on the ms site, AFAIK [02:48] scott_: Did you change settings in Thunderbird to not allow it to store passwords? [02:50] remove/backup the ~/.thunderbird folder and setup fresh [02:51] I don't think I messed up the settings... I'd really rather not have to resetup all my mail accounts... [02:52] scott_: Thunderbird doesn't randomly forget how to save passwords... you would have had to changed a setting, installed an extension ... what was the last thing you remember doing? [02:54] <_< Copying my entire user profile over from windows and being amazed that it actually loaded. And then after the first time this happened I deleted what was the password store according to a google search to see if it would remake it. [02:54] scott_: how did you delete it? where are the instructions? [02:54] I guess this is somewhat an unsupported situation, but it'd be nice if there's just an option somewhere I need to [02:55] scott_: moving the profile over is supported by thunderbird... however manually editing the profile directory is not [02:55] <[n0mad]> scott_: tried this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1239779 [02:55] check your keyring/passwordstorage for multiple thunderbird instances? [02:55] OerHeks: Thunderbird doesn't use the system keyrings [02:57] <[n0mad]> seems to be a pretty common occurrence according to the goog though. [02:57] That's... weird. I THOUGHT I renamed pkcs11.txt to pkcs11.bak, but I don't see a .bak file here [02:58] scott_: use terminal to look... some file managers hide .bak files [02:59] Holy crap. Closed thunderbird, deleted that file, opened thunderbird... and it's not even PROMPTING me for passwords now, it's remembering even ones that I've forgotten and hadn't re-entered yet on linux! Amazing! [03:00] Wow. Thunderbird and waterfox have been THE easiest part of moving to linux, at least. === nima is now known as the_actor [03:01] scott_: gald you seem to have it solved. [03:02] scott_: as I'm sure you doing, make sure you keep a backup of things you're moving over, just in case. Always a good idea to keep backups of everything [03:03] Does have a good tutorial on installing Linux on a uefi bios === B is now known as Guest7327 [03:05] Yeah. I copied from the old c:\users\scott\appdata\roaming\Thunderbird to ~\.thunderbird [03:06] Now back to working on this virtual machine for quickbooks === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [03:12] !uefi [03:12] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

[04:24] no, why? [04:25] jtnunley: because we would like to know your purpose [04:25] jtnunley: so you are going to host a fileserver from ubuntu desktop, and then let users download from you?

[07:02] scott_: nano is a cli based text editor [07:02] scott_: People have advised not to use sudo on kde apps [07:02] scott_: you should use kdesudo [07:03] Well fudge, while trying to edit the file I closed nano, now opening it again complains it's already open [07:03] scott_: open ksysguard and end the process [07:03] kdesudo is command not found [07:04] The process is stopped but not closing [07:05] I am now something like 5 levels deep into solving the problem of 'my windows VM can't open a file from my samba share' [07:05] scott_: I think you need to install kdesudo [07:05] scott_: why not use nano [07:06] scott_: kill the process [07:06] Because the interface is atrocious and if I wanted to use vi I'd be 15 years ago [07:07] scott_: have you added your user with the vboxsf group? [07:07] Sorry, sorry, I am just... annoyed that I'm like 6 levels deep on this problem now [07:08] scott_: I can understand your frustration, but as it is you have to deal with it now [07:08] use nano [07:08] its not live vi, its simple [07:08] Y'all I done messed up. I set up my Kubuntu install with an LVM cache using my new small SSD. All was well, until I rebooted. Now I'm being dropped into a Grub prompt. [07:08] Killing doesn't seem to be working. Right now I'm in the process of trying to edit my samba config to force user, because the shared folders are on mounted ntfs drives [07:09] hello [07:09] kdesudo is not in the package manager [07:09] RPG_Master: Did you restart before the setup finished? [07:10] scott_: terminate the process [07:10] I have the problems that every time the dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf change, and every time I must change it [07:10] vanni: hello [07:10] murthy, This was an existing install, but setup I mean getting the LVM cache working. [07:10] how may I make permanent it ? [07:10] murthy, hello [07:11] 18.04 LTS [07:11] RPG_Master: what is the ubuntu version from which you upgraded and to what? [07:11] Closed and reopened package manager and still not there, unless you meant nano which is apparently not dying [07:11] vanni: Install [07:11] $ ps -all | grep nano [07:11] Install what ? [07:11] 4 T 0 19100 19099 0 80 0 - 3384 - pts/1 00:00:00 nano [07:11] 19100 is the pid, right? [07:11] scott_: what do you mean by package manager? [07:12] scott_: you are trying to close the nano process right? [07:12] Yes. [07:12] Forget the package manager, that was re: lacking kdesudo [07:12] murthy, No, I didn't upgrade. This was a fresh install from 2 months ago when I built this PC. All I did was set up LVM caching with the existing install. [07:12] scott_: restart is possible? [07:12] I'm currently running an old Ubuntu 18.04 install I had on another drive sitting in my PC. Its also not even letting me mount my LVM group. [07:13] I guess I can restart. Do you mean log out and in again, or full reboot? [07:13] Or whatever its called. I can see the HDD under the Disks program, and that they are LVM2, but it won't let me mount it. [07:14] vanni: You are on live linux right? [07:14] murthy, no installed [07:14] RPG_Master: Sorry I don't know about LVM stuff [07:14] murthy: I guess I can restart. Do you mean log out and in again, or full reboot? [07:15] scott_: full reebot [07:15] reboot [07:16] vanni: Then what do you mean by "make permanent"? [07:16] yes, in /etc/resolv.conf is written to see man SYSTEMD-RESOLVED.SERVICE(8) [07:17] but I don't understand much of this man page [07:17] vanni: i've edited DNS in GUI in top right corner of ubuntu.. connection settings.. [07:18] I hven't this connection setting [07:19] I'm using ubuntu 18.04 server with xfce [07:19] RPG_Master: Are you sure you are not having more than one Grub? [07:20] So... What is the correct way to solve my VM being unable to open a file from a samba share? [07:21] scott_: you are using vbox or vmware? [07:21] kvm [07:22] scott_: See If you need to be on some group to have permissions [07:22] scott_: If you need to edit use nano [07:22] scott_: What were you trying to edit? [07:22] smb.conf [07:22] No idea if that's what I ACTUALLY needed to do [07:23] vanni: http://irc.do.am/10-21-14.png don't you have these settings?? [07:24] How do I restart samba after changing smb.conf? [07:25] nm googled that [07:27] murthy: No dice. Windows can browse the folder same as before, but trying to do anything with a file gives me a complaint about not having access [07:28] van777, no, what do u use to paste desktop ? [07:29] vanni: "screenshot" and uploading it to my free hosting [07:30] scott_: Check the permissions of the shared folder [07:30] scott_: is the windows user added to the shared folder users [07:30] vanni: if you're on server, there is #ubuntu-server for cli stuff [07:31] How d I make ls -la show me the folder itself instead of iots contents? [07:31] All the files in it are -rwxrwxrwx [07:32] van777, server is the same , have same repository [07:32] scott_: No root shared folder [07:32] windows authenticated as my username which I added to samba [07:33] Murthy: How do I make ls -la show me the folder itself instead of its contents? [07:33] scott_: that I dont know [07:34] scott_: does your user own that directory? [07:34] vanni: you can edit your current connection , adding dns servers in GUI. You don't need /etc/resolv.conf [07:35]
