To which I replied that I had been doing that for months ... but suddenly today I am getting sudo: ntp: command not found [00:42] Vic2 - weird, is the ntp package installed? [00:43] Grrrr ... thanks! I am embarrased now ... yes it is ntpd, not ntp. sigh. Thanks Menzie [00:44] You're welcome :) [00:44] I usually look back in bash history for the command as I can never remember it ... dunno why it was like that. Oh well, thanks again. === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray [00:51] Hey folks. I'm hoping to get redirected to a good resource (I'd even take a manpage or something) to understand filesystem permissions. I understand how to use chmod/chown and understand the octal masks at a basic level but I want to know more about effective permissions, how permissions accumulate, how perms are inherited if at all, and so on.

[01:17] Bashing-om: [01:17] I tried first to do just that. Did not work out. [01:18] guest-ttdjq1: "Did not work out." can be a thousand things that I will not take the time to work through, So tell us exactly what does happen. [01:21] Bashing-om: In the recovery mode of the grub bootloader I try to start the system in superuser mode, asks for a password, I enter, but nothing happens. Says that the password is incorrect. [01:22] guest-ttdjq1: In recovery mode "you" are root - there is no password. What is the end goal here that you must resort to a root console ? [01:26] Sorry, maybe Google translator made a little mistake with the translation. What does "ultimate goal" mean? I want to see the logs. I can't even begin to understand the problem. [01:26] Bashing-om: Up - is yours [01:28] guest-ttdjq1: Understand the difficulty to translate. Have you attempted help in the Russian channel ? What release are you on ( systemd makes a difference) .. and what logs do you want to see ? [01:32] Yeah Google translation is always never correct [01:33] Bashing-om: I’m sitting for the first time in my life in the IRC channel :) I don’t know how to use it all. It's not difficult for me to translate sit. The main thing is not what country we are from, and the main thing is that we are all people with problems and the desire to help - yes? [01:37] guest-ttdjq1: Great .. yes --- we do all we can to help. In that regard to help I try and determine the problem. and direct efforts to fix. OK - can you presently boot to the login screen ? [01:39] Bashing-om: Yes, I can. [01:40] Bashing-om: Do I do this? [01:43] guest-ttdjq1: Outstanding .. now at the login screen execute key combination ctl+alt+F2, here is a comsole interface. login here with user name and your password. success ?

[02:13] guest-ttdjq1: Right now we do not have any info to draw any conclusions - nor know which way to look. Now if we must one can boot a liveDVD/USB and mount the install partition. From there if you want we can look at what is in the system log files. [02:16] Bashing-om: Yes, I also thought in this direction, but unfortunately I can not open my own hard drive, because there are no permissions to this [02:17] guest-ttdjq1: "root" can do all things.

[02:34] Bashing-om: Of course, I understand that I delay you. I will now start downloading the latest version of Ubuntu from the official site. It will take time, so you can not wait for me. In general, I thought so that it is worth doing just that. This is the easiest way. Simply, the fact is that I, in the absence of experience, admitted that there are other solutions to my problem.

[03:31] in days gone by i was told no virus on linux period because it too small a target [03:31] SNookerZ: good a support issue or sort of :) [03:31] !virus [03:31] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [03:31] https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=ubuntu+18.04 [03:32] that bot response si a bit old but yeah [03:32] SNookerZ: you can get malicous software [03:32] SNookerZ: for Linux distros, but [03:32] it's pretty rare, and you would have to install yourself or something usually [03:32] just get all the security updates from the repos of the distro that running and should be ok [03:32] and don't get programs off random websites as well, just like with WIndows [03:32] thanks sebsebseb [03:33] SNookerZ: most things you would want to run will be in the package manager anyway if not everything [03:33] !repos [03:33] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[03:55] that was just a normal kernel update yeah? [03:55] <[J]oules> yup [03:55] if you load up the old kernel it will probably still work [03:55] worth a test [03:55] <[J]oules> it was just a regular ubuntu 16.04 update [03:55] but it should also be able to work with a new kernel [03:56] Virtuablox like installs a thing for the kernel that's running I think, a module or whatever [03:56] <[J]oules> what it took was apt remove virtualbox*; apt install virtualbox, then install extensionpak [03:57] jcb2016: I had icons for Firefox and what not in Mate before, ok in a diffenrte distro, but still [03:57] jcb2016: I don't like telling people to Google, but you could probably Google and get a better answer [03:57] <[J]oules> i tried apt install virtualbox-5.2, won't start vm's, virtualbox-6.0 wont start vm's [03:57] <[J]oules> something is up with this newer kernel [03:58] <[J]oules> not in a good way either [03:58] the kernel needs a moudle or something I think [03:58] if you re install virtualbox that might help as well actsaully [03:58] as in competly remove it [03:58] and re install [03:58] <[J]oules> i did that [03:58] can keep the .virtualbox in home [03:58] <[J]oules> i tried apt install virtualbox-5.2, won't start vm's, virtualbox-6.0 wont start vm's [03:58] might be a bug with that kernel as well so it's not working, but not sure [03:58] <[J]oules> that was after apt remove virtualbox* [03:58] did you try old kernel ? [03:58] <[J]oules> no [03:59] <[J]oules> not sure how to run older kernel [03:59] Grub used to keep on adding kernels to the list [03:59] as a new kernel was installed, old would stay, and could just pick old [03:59] but that may have changed now a bit [03:59] <[J]oules> can you tell me how i would get this box to use older kernel? [03:59] sebsebseb: i think i found it. its called Mate Tweak i can add computer, trash to the desktop. plus i can right click on stuff and click pin to desktop. thanks [04:00] if it's instaled still, which it is likely to be , you should be able to boot it up from Grub [04:00] jcb2016: they might have removed some settings yes [04:00] jcb2016: mate tweak from where ? [04:00] jcb2016: don't just get off some random site :D [04:01] !kernel [04:01] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [04:01] hmm [04:02] sebsebseb: http://goinglinux.com/articles/Create%20MATE%20Desktop%20Application%20Icons%20_en.htm [04:02] <[J]oules> this tells us how to boot older kernel [04:02] <[J]oules> https://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version [04:02] yeah would boot it up some how from GRUB [04:02] sebsebseb: Mate tweak is part of mate its not an addon or anything [04:02] jcb2016: then should be in repos or something [04:11] in 18.04, have set no domain name, but 'hostname -f' is showing .lan as the domain name. how do i remove that? /etc/hostname just shows the hostname without .lan [04:28] hello all.... [04:29] hi [04:29] there are no files under /etc/system/network/ [04:30] but i want to change the domain name. what file is systemd-networkd using if no files even exist there [04:30] uncool_: Might help to start at the beginning... and explain what it is you are trying to do or what issue you have [04:31] my router is handing out the .lan domain name, and only my 18.04 mahcines are using it. i need to have them not use that domain name, so hostname -f just has a hostname [04:32] i used dhcp to get an available ip address, and then used that ip address as a static ip by editing 50-cloudinit.conf [04:32] while there is no mention of a domain name in that file, systemd-networkd continues to use what it was given during the dhcp handout, and i need to know what to change do drop the .lan domain name. /etc/hostname is already just the host name [04:33] uncool_: You can't... [04:33] pragmaticenigma: ? [04:33] of course you can [04:34] where is the domain name being stored [04:34] The value is generated and provided by the DHCP server... your box is merely reporting what it was told [04:34] but i am no longer using dhcp [04:34] but the domain it recieved, while using dhcp, persists on the system [04:34] You can try this: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04/ [04:35] if that doesn't resolve it... then I wouldn't know where to begin [04:38] i have already done this. hostnamectl does not report the domain name. the domain name is not in /etc/hostname or /etc/hosts, based on the research i have done, this is systemd-networkd, but i need to know where systemd-networkd is storeing the domain name it recieved during dhcp, when the box was configured to use dhcp previosly [04:38] the man page for systemd-networkd says /etc/systemd/network/ but that directory is empty [04:38] and none of the files in /lib/systemd/network/ mention the domain name [04:38] it must be cached someplace else [04:40] i mean, systemd-resolve --status shows domain, but systemd-resolve wont let me change it, it straight denies me [04:43] fucking systemd [04:45] !ohmy | uncool_ [04:45] uncool_: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [04:54] !Poledra Watt-Evans, Lawrence - [Ethshar 01] - The Misenchanted Sword (v1.0) [htm].rar [04:54] kr_60642: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:55] !warez | kr_60642 [04:55] kr_60642: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[05:12] i need to circumvent a firewall preventing me from ssh to my ubuntu server [05:12] my current plan ... disavble apache on my ubuntu server and conficure sshd to use port 80 in addition to poert 22 [05:13] is there some way to get ssh to foreward a different port on the server, say 22210, to port 22 , and i could ssh in from my laptop using ssh -p 22210 ? [05:13] the firewall may block 22210 also [05:14] k0nichiwa: that depends on where the file wall is, if it is at the ISP, there really isn't much you can do, and I'd be surprised if the ISP isn't blocking port 80 [05:18] im on a public wifi [05:18] it allows port 80 connections outward of course [05:18] but it blocking ssh ie port 22 connections outward [05:19] so i guess ill try using port 80 on my ubuntu server, have sshd listen on that as well [05:19] but i was just wondering if there is a way to do it with changing as few config files as possible [05:19] if the wifi firewall allows say some random port i could do it with a tunnel maybe [05:19] as it is, i will have to disable apache on the ubutnu server since its using port 80 [05:20] but ive read a few attempts to explain ssh port forewarding and tunneling and i reallyd ont understand them [05:20] so apart rom all that ...is there areally good, precise, clear explanation of using ssh for poert forewarding and tunneling etc ?

It's more rare that computers allow booting from the memory card readers [05:37] to my understanding it when legacy usb is disabled.

I created a VM, like I've done with older Ubuntu releases, and booted from the ISO. I selected all of the defaults and received the following error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WFGBBWXHKq/. Any ideas? [05:55] lystra: Can you elborate on what you mean by selected all of the defaults? [05:58] pragmaticenigma: I hit return throughout the installation process. The only time I used the up/down arrow keys were when I confirmed the destructive action of wiping the entire disk. [05:59] lystra: well one problem I see is that you are using the 18.04 iso when you appear to want to install 16.04 [06:00] pragmaticenigma: The guest VM should be 18.04, the latest Ubuntu LTS release but the host is running 16.04. I haven't had time to upgrade the host to 18.04 yet. [06:01] lystra: oh... I misread [06:02] lystra: i can't be certain why it failed at that step. only thing I can think of is to try again [06:02] pragmaticenigma: I tried changing from DHCP->static IP in the installation process and changing the LVM configuration, both of which caused a different type of failure. But, things scroll by so quickly. [06:02] pragmaticenigma: Ok, thanks. I've tried a few times already. I'll keep plugging away.

[06:14] does the desktop installer work ok? [06:14] oh cool [06:15] Couldn't change the IP from DHCP->Static through. Installer automatically restarted so just selecting the defaults. But, gonna try a reinstall with a different LVM config. Hopefully that works. [06:16] you should be able to change the ip settings after it installs [06:17] Yeah, but redoing LVM is not as easy.

I'm having some trouble with my headless ubuntu desktop audio. i think it's a permissions issue since i can play mp3s just fine when i'm superuser, but i just get crackling/distortion when i try to play them as my user. thanks in advance. === Euph0roa is now known as Euph0ria === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [08:06] lavid: have you tried creating a new user and testing as that? === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [08:08] ducasse: the end goal is to get mopidy working. oddly enough, it works fine as users: root, mopidy but it doesn't work as my user (the one created by default with the ubuntu installer) [08:09] lavid: that makes it sound like a user configuration issue [08:10] ducasse: i haven't done much user configuring outside of trying to get mopidy working. so i'm not sure where i should be looking [08:12] lavid: first do as i suggested and create a new user to test as, to confirm or disprove. [08:13] ducasse: when i try and create a new user (haven't added any groups or permissions, just `adduser testinguser`) i get the following: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 1001), but by uid 1000! (This could e g happen if you try to connect to a non-root PulseAudio as a root user, over the native protocol. Don't do that.) [08:15] lavid: how did you switch to that user? [08:15] su testinguser [08:15] ducasse: su testinguser [08:15] don't do that, log in as it [08:17] ducasse: got it. so when i do that, i hear silence. when i try to see if i need to unmute something alsamixer gives: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [08:21] hmmm, try 'alsamixer -c 1' [08:22] ducasse: invalid card index: 1 [08:24] sorry, this is out of my paygrade, i don't deal much with sound. hang around and see if someone else can help.

[08:28] lotuspsychje: not exactly. i can play music as root [08:29] thats some weird issue [08:29] lotuspsychje: sudo mpg123 /var/lib/mopidy/media/Mingus/* [08:29] that works great [08:30] lavid: did you try other playing methods? [08:32] lavid: wich DE are you on?

[08:54] lavid: maybe thats where it goes wrong [08:55] lotuspsychje: i just don't log into a DE. [08:57] lavid: yeah i understand that part, but normal desktop goes to gdm3 so how did you do it exactly? [08:58] lotuspsychje: i'm just gdm3 loads, but there's no monitor connected.

[10:08] neure: use just -p for a more comprehensive list of sockets in use, the above are only -l ones [10:09] (you'll need root to see processes you don't own) [10:17] So. I'm about to upgrade to 19.04 instead of cramming for the midterm tomorrow. Go me! === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [10:24] Peppep, 19.04 here as well, no issues on my set up so far, but I'm on KDE/Plasma. Your experience may be different.

[10:30] Peppep, hmm, W10 isn't a backup...an alternative, maybe :-) [10:30] I was considering reinstalling 18.10 in any case, since I blindly tried fixing things with multiple solutions for the same problem during my first Ubuntu weeks === transfusion1 is now known as Transfusion [10:30] It's a backup to be able to work for the rest of the day ;) [10:31] * BluesKaj shrugs ..... [10:34] I'm not sure if we're discussing semantics, Linux vs Win or something else. I was sceptical about the move tbh, but after a month I've booted W10 once [10:36] Peppep, once you become accustomed to Linux, you'll find yourself booting into W10 less and less. :-) [10:38] The one time so far was just to check that nothing went wrong during the Ubuntu install, and I haven't booted it since then. So the frequency can't get much lower ;) [10:39] Re 19.04, does the current "do-release-upgrade -d" build give me GNOME 3.32 but not kernel 5.0?

I only get DHCP running after explicitly using "sudo dhclient"; there is no IPv4 retrieved automatically. [11:40] guiverc ok i just downloaded it on a Chromebook do you know if i can expand on it? [11:42] So just open it yeah? [11:42] Jantz, https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0 I just `dd` the iso to thumb drives myself, https://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal may be helpful [11:44] Jantz, eg. my last dd write command of iso is `sudo dd if=/..path../disco-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M && sync` [11:47] nicofs, using network-manager? . netplan yami should show: renderer: NetworkManager [11:49] @BluesKaj but where? [11:50] guiverc so there's an expansion process i need to do before it can be bootable yeah? And you don't know if i can do this on a Chromebook? The last thing i want to do is install Ubuntu on my mum's Chromebook so I'm being cautious [11:50] nicofs, /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml [11:50] I haven't done any sudo stuff before [11:51] Jantz, i don't know chromebooks; I used the `dd` example as I'm hoping you may have that command (it's a generic *nix command many decades old) [11:52] Yeah I'm on a phone right now pc is dead [11:52] BluesKaj, what yamls should I have in that folder? Currently it's 50-cloud-init, 99_config - now I add 01-network-manager-all to be on the safe side? I haven't yet figured out how this works. Is there a set of must-have files or is the content important and I can name it how I desire as long as it's proper... [11:57] nicofs I have only one yami script: network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager [11:57] Jantz: to gte this right: your intention is to create a bootable usb stick on a chromebook, to be used for booting some other computer - correct? [11:58] nicofs, using ethernet here, not wifi [11:59] tomreyn correct, I've downloaded the 18.04 LTS iso file to a usb but don't know what to do further [12:00] BluesKaj, I'm using ethernet and both my scripts use "NetworkManager". Every time I use "Netplan apply" my IPv4 (and thus my Internet) disappears. [12:00] hi [12:03] nicofs, never used "netplan apply", it should auto link to network-manager without having to enable it [12:04] BluesKaj, what else should I do? I can't run dhclient every time I start the pc [12:06] nicofs, did you edit netplan yami on someone's suggestion, or is this "50-cloud-init, 99_config -", default in your version? [12:07] BluesKaj, 99_config came as default, the other one I fashioned according to a suggestion [12:08] which other one? [12:09] nicofs,^ [12:10] anyone here an ace at devilspie by chance? === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [12:15] Hello, I have an ubuntu server 18.04 LTS. It has one problem on cli. [12:15] Often the command output doesn't move the previous contents up, but owerwrite it partially and partially moving it up [12:15] , so it all get's mixed up and pretty much unreadable. [12:16] I have other installations on other computers, but they don't have a such problem [12:16] How to fix it? [12:16] which terminal emulator are you using to connect to your server [12:16] and from which OS [12:18] people, i am on ubuntu 18.10, i am trying to downgrade the kernel to linux 2.6.32 (long story as to why), these are the commands i will be using, are they correct? https://hastebin.com/pufehabine.cs it is my first time doing anything with a kernel [12:18] if someone can assist me, i would be greatful [12:20] Jantz: sorry, got busy elsewhere. so you should download the iso to some storage, maybe the default storage for the chromebook (i don't really know how chromebooks work), and then use a special software to write this isop file to a usb stick. [12:20] dff, any, i.e.: from other ubuntu server, yaguake, xterm, terminator, and locally on the server itself. [12:20] Jantz: does the chromebook provide a shell? [12:21] dff, usually, if by ssh, I connect from 18.04 server/desktop, 16.04 server/desktop [12:21] tomreyn i don't think so [12:23] Jantz: ctrl-alt-t should bring one up apparently [12:23] BluesKaj, as far as I understand, the name of the config file is not important. I decided to remove one - so there is only one left. Renderer is "NetworkManager", reboot -> no IPv4. [12:24] igoryonya: have you tried another shell than bash on the server? [12:25] zsh or something [12:25] acresearch, 18.10 and kernel 2.6.x ?? really, even if it is a long story; no, i guess you will fail [12:25] terminology a bit off, but you get my meaning [12:26] OerHeks: why? [12:26] how can I "roll back" nvidia drivers, lets say from 418 to 410 ? [12:26] probably because they arent compatible [12:26] dff, I didn't, just the default install, but 18.04 server on other computers, don't have that problem. [12:26] acresearch, because it is a very old kernel, and dependencies will not match.. but sure try it, make sure you have a backup of your important files [12:26] igoryonya: trying zsh to see if it has the same behavior could narrow down the problem [12:27] it is not supported here, so you are on your own [12:27]
