[00:50] didn't test that one last time it broke [00:50] it's usually the ", ( or ) [00:50] that I use [00:50] well, what you use [00:50] no [00:51] just the shift [00:51] not the actual character I want to type [01:08] Hi fellows, i'm driving into a strange bug. Suddenly the gnome-calculator stop working on my ubuntu-18.04-LTS. When I ran the command on the terminal a receive the following output You need to connect this snap to the gnome platform snap. [01:08] You can do this with those commands: [01:08] snap install gnome-3-26-1604 [01:08] snap connect gnome-calculator:gnome-3-26-1604 gnome-3-26-1604 [01:08] [01:08] When I run the second command, I receive the following output => snap connect gnome-calculator:gnome-3-26-1604 gnome-3-26-1604 [01:08] Any tip about how to proceed/ [01:09] ? [01:11] try removing it, why is it installed through snap anyway? [01:11] snap remove gnome-calculator [01:11] Platonides, tomreyn https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VYFJdpfKnX/ [01:11] apt install gnome-calculator [01:12] that was me attempting to type " a couple of times, then pressing 2 a couple of times, then it working fine [01:12] in xev [01:14] txithihausen: the command the gnome-calculator snap printed should be all you need to do. if it isn't baraba's workaround is an option, but you may want to go to settings -> search and untick "calculator" then. [01:14] baraba: gnome calculator is installed as a snap on gnome-shell based ubuntu by default. [01:15] Krenair: i had speculated it's related to a buggy kernel image, but yours should be fine. i'm not sure how to debug this, though. what you could try is !hwe (kernel and xorg) === taco is now known as mouses2 [01:16] !hwe | Krenair [01:16] Krenair: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [01:16] tomreyn and baraba, I ran the command baraba suggested and I cannot have access to gnome-calculator anymore. I tried to reinstall gnome-calculator (snap install gnome-calculator) and worked [01:16] Thank you both! [01:16] Krenair: ...but that's just a workaround / a way to cross test, not a fix. [01:16] alright, thank you tomreyn [01:16] txithihausen: you're welcome [01:17] you, too, Krenair ;-) === mouses2 is now known as taco [01:27] hello [01:35] How do I extract string "dir" from "/home/user/dir" in shell script? [01:46] JoeD: basename /home/user/dir [01:46] JoeD, read about "remvoe matching prefix pattern" in the bash man page [01:47] hggdh: omfg thank you [01:47] rfm: will do so [01:53] I've been getting some weird drive errors [01:53] Are any of these any good? https://www.humblebundle.com/books/linux-wiley-books [01:54] it says "logging of this conversation failed" on pidgin for example [01:54] and error when I tried to set up a magnet torrent [01:54] I think I might have put my drive in write-protection by mistake [01:54] NewToLubuntu, is it full? [01:54] I have 2 drives, the one for my OS should be mostly empty, it's only my secnodary drive which is nearly full of videos and stuff [01:55] so possibly I have it set to store in the wrong drive somehow [01:55] also if I vanish inexplicably, my computer has lately been spontaneously blackscreening after 15-20 minutes of operation [01:55] possibly due to video card because sometimes the audio I'm listening to will keep going [01:56] I'm thinking I should update my boot disk from 18.04 to 18,04.2 to do a reinstall, or possibly experiment with 18,10 [01:56] going from LXDE to LXQT can't be any more of a shock from going to Vista to Lubuntu [01:56] but can only set that up if I download it first [01:56] I assume I should be able to over-write my USB with fresh boot info [01:56] it would be interesting to try out some various ubuntu OS too, I hear it is possible to install multiple ones on the same boot disk, mine is 8GB [01:57] although I am not sure if those collections would have the latest versions [02:02] NewToLubuntu, LXQt from LXDE is not a problem, UI/gui wise in my opinion. What can be an issue is if you're tied to specific applications that used the GTK+ toolkit; using them in LXQt will cause both Qt & GTK+ libs to be in memory; not an issue if you have 4gb+ of ram, but can cause a slower machine if using 1-2gb of ram. This to me is the largest issue with LXQt/LXDE [02:04] tied to = meaning you want to use very specific apps; ie. I loved gnome 2 (really old) & have resisted giving up certain apps from that gtk+ environment.. (this may go over your head; windows/apple have the same issues; but those are just told 'you need more ram' rather than reason) === matt_ is now known as Guest85983 [02:06] this is a 12 year old comp with 3gb so I definitelly don't want that to happen [02:06] would a fresh install to 18.10 do that? [02:06] I think I mainly just want to keep my firefox favorites and IRC logs [02:07] since I've done a lot of troubleshooting conversations [02:07] i didn't real all sorry NewToLubuntu, to upgrade from 18.04 to 18.04.2 you can just `sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade` and your 18.04 will upgrade itself to 18.04.2 automatically... [02:08] video going black, I'd suspect hardware myself; but I can't help there sorry. I'm not good with video issues. [02:09] yes you can just overwrite whatever was on a thumb-drive (eg. 18.04) with a later iso (eg. 18.10) [02:10] my box I'm using now is ~a decade old - i'm perfectly happy with it (I do have more ram though). if you are using 32bit/i686 I'd tend to stay on 18.04 though personally. [02:10] <[rg]> how can I get a specific package with apt if through a ppa? [02:10] as for trying later versions; try writing 18.10 to a thumb-drive, boot & select 'try ubuntu' & use it all day. see if it's any better video wise. [02:11] [rg], try looking at this https://askubuntu.com/questions/92019/how-to-install-specific-ubuntu-packages-with-exact-version [02:15] <[rg]> guiverc: ok, if no version is found they that means they only have the latest in the ppa [02:15] I guess I mean if I want to do a fresh install [02:16] I guess it would be less updating on the new install if I made a fresh boot disk with 18.04.2 [02:16] weirdly this comp is lasting a lot longer this time when the 2nd drive is inaccessible [02:16] of course it might be that I just haven't used it in a month, maybe the hardware cooled down? [02:16] I miss my mousekeys... I really need something like mousekeys agani [02:16] maybe standard ubuntu ahs that features but I'm not sure what package to install to add it to lubuntu [02:16] [rg], i don't know what you're looking for, but `apt-cache policcy` or `apt-cache search` etc [02:17] NewToLubuntu, please cut down on the [02:17] <[rg]> guiverc: upgraded to sublime but forgot it was changed to gtk3 [02:18] NewToLubuntu, 18.10 is not a LTS or long-term-support release; it has only a 9 month life (of which a lot has already gone), it upgrades to 19.04, then 19.10 etc. 18.04 LTS is a long-term-support release with 3 years of support, so you don't have to keep release-upgrading; dist-upgrade is all you need to do (less change, more stable etc) [02:19] if it's more reliable NewToLubuntu with 2nd drive not being used; your PSE could be failing to produce enough power (due age) thus lack of additional drive is increasing reliability (could also be the cause for your video issues too) - just a thought [02:20] NewToLubuntu, with 3gb of ram on an old machine; I'd not consider gnome (ubuntu-desktop) myself. XFCE or MATE are lighter & other alternatives require less resources than gnome.. but its somewhat taste that will decide what's best for you too [02:23] s/PSE/PSU (power supply unit) NewToLubuntu , sorry typo I didn't notice [02:23] ^ [02:25] XFCE is Xubuntu I think, I heard it was the 2nd-smallest so will consider it as an alternative upgrade. I guess until then I will stay with 18.04 while on Lubuntu. I think I will try a restart to see if that unlocks the drive. Perhaps I will boot normally to see if it blackscreens. [02:26] Yep XFCE is the Xubuntu desktop (I love it too!) It'd be my next choice on light ram, and if you prefer GTK+ based apps; where I'd go or consider anyway after 18.04 === rizmi_ is now known as rizmi [02:30] Anyone know any good tool to brute force full disk encryption password that works on Ubuntu?

[02:42] Jonii: the LUKS header is what you want, and you're asking in the wrong channel [02:42] What's the correct channel? [02:43] ##security [02:43] but most likely the answer is "you can't" unless the person used a very weak password [02:43] I'm assuming it was not you that set it [02:45] Actually I was. I also know all but maybe 5 character of it [02:46] Jonii: it will still likely be very hard to crack, also you didn't mention you're using truecrypt/veracrypt === joey is now known as Guest93668 [03:41] Hi guys am finding it difficult to fix my Ubuntu have just recently installed 18.04 and keyboard and mouse are playing up but seem to be alright in a recovery offline setup, as soon as i go online i have trouble to be honest i think I've been hacked by the cia, I've searched online and found no real solution I've changed the settings for proprietary drivers to enabled any help appreciated [03:42] Have tried other usb ports but get absolutely no signal from them [03:43] Hard disks are fine [03:44] Also getting the same trouble on mint [03:44] Freebsd wont install either [03:46] hi guys, how does the console in ubuntu differ from terminal, is it still using default allocatted bash version, just with a smaller window aimed at running short/one line commands that bash uses [03:46] All software is updated [03:54] hi [03:57] vapingconfusion, the console and the terminal are the same (they're both bash).

I got here an acer e17 e5-771g-7014 and trying to install ubuntu 18.04.2. With "normal" boot the system hangs at some boot messages (none saying..), with "nomodeset" it boots, but I just got black screen with mouse pointer. For fun I tried Pop!_OS with nvidia drivers and all went fine, thats why I think its a graphics problem. what else could I do? [06:21] pragomer: whats your graphics card chipset? [06:22] I thinking about this at this point.. would have to boot up popos again to have a look (sorry, didnt write it down). Will do that and be be in 10 min [06:22] pragomer: is it nvidia? [06:22] ah here, GEFORCE 480M [06:22] yes, nvidia [06:22] pragomer: go in your system with nomodeset then install the nvidia driver [06:23] the live medium does not boot even with nomodeset [06:23] pragomer: you have dualboot? [06:24] no. one disk that will be used in total [06:24] pragomer: make sure your uefi settings are set too: secureboot=off fastboot=off [06:25] they are set. these options I always turn off. thats for sure [06:25] pragomer: in the ubuntu setup also make sure you turn on updates [06:26] I cannot even get to the setup. Like I said I just got a black screen with mouse pointer. With Pop_OS (that has buildin nvidia) it works [06:26] (but of course I want to use "original" ubuntu) [06:26] pragomer: in your first question you say you can boot nomodeset? [06:27] nope, I wrote I can NOT even boot nomodeset. If I could, I wouldnt have problems. Sorry if I wrote this confusingly [06:27] pragomer: how did you create your ubuntu usb? [06:28] at this moment I am doing two photos of both boot hang ups (normal and nomodeset) and going to share it here. [06:28] allright [06:29] am, I used dd, like always, but I tried several usb sticks, also I used 18.04, 18.04.1 and 18.04.2 [06:29] the same.. [06:29] just a seconde, posting these photos [06:32] I think I am in love with a girl and her name is nomodeset [06:33] not here NewToLubuntu [06:34] it's just, being able to just let the computer boot up to the login screen on its own since switching to linux in September... the feels [06:34] NewToLubuntu: do you have an ubuntu question? [06:34] having to do advanced options - recovery mode - resume normal boot EVERY TIME just to force my graphics drivers to fail... simply disabling them with NMS is so much better [06:35] well yes, with that fixed, if my computer does spontaneuosly blackscreen while I'm watching some movies like what happened a couple weeks ago, do you know what could cause it? [06:35] NewToLubuntu: pastebin: uname -a && lsb_release -a && sudo lshw -C video [06:38] https://pastebin.com/Cd2iD96N [06:40] also this is sort of a silly goof but... I seem to have made the top bar of VLC Media Player (where you can click and drag to move the window around) vanish and I'm not sure how to get it back [06:40] NewToLubuntu: your system is not up to date and your nvidia drivers arent installed [06:41] !uptodate | NewToLubuntu [06:41] NewToLubuntu: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [06:41] this is my screen, when booting "normal": http://i.imgur.com/2aDOvK4.png [06:41] and this with nomodeset: http://i.imgur.com/V5Yp7rA.png [06:42] weird, it's like the exact opposite, I was getting black screen, that's what prompted me to change to NMS [06:42] pragomer: is that the last lines you see sdb? [06:43] yes, and it stays like this... [06:43] pragomer: im not sure thats a graphics issue [06:43] Hello [06:43] pragomer: did you recently install a hd or so? [06:43] mm. what would make the difference else to Pop!_OS 18.04 ? [06:44] I can install Pop without problems. [06:44] pragomer: do you still have a 18.04.1 iso laying around? [06:45] Dond think so, but like I said, I tried this with 18.04.1 and 18.04.2 [06:46] pragomer: hmm thats pretty weird [06:47] pragomer: if it was about graphics, you would get a black screen and not see the booting text [06:48] pragomer: did you recently change hardware in your pc done anything special? [06:48] nope [06:48] wait a second. let me post you a 3rd photo [06:49] this is in this moment the pop installer: http://i.imgur.com/oXGg910.png [06:49] runs through the boot without problems [06:50] thats weird indeed [06:50] pragomer: do you have other flavors iso's you could test? xubuntu, lubuntu for example? [06:52] yes, good idead. just trying xubuntu 18.04.2 === murthy_ is now known as murthy [06:54] lotuspsychje: I ran the command a couple minutes ago, it's at 28% completion now. I think it said something like another 200MB to download. Oddly slow compared to usual speeds, must be on their end. I should've noticed sine it said 18.04.1 since I hear there was a .2 version last month. Do you know why it didn't notify me? [06:57] NewToLubuntu: when connected to internet, update warnings should have come to you..did you ignore some? [06:59] lotuspsychje: xubuntu 18.04.2 has the same problems :-( [07:01] I wonder if I should simply go with Pop or try an ubuntu server and installing gnome to it.. [07:02] or what else does exist.. ubuntu mini? does this still exist? [07:02] pragomer: maybe you found some bug, you have an 16.04 iso? [07:02] That was a new way to install Ubuntu. Reserving space for bios? [07:02] What happened to the bootable flag? [07:03] I think so, too that its ab bug in combination with this hardware. [07:03] I am now trying ubuntu mini [07:04] pragomer: could be due to kernel 4.18 doesnt like your hardware somehow [07:05] to keep it simple I think I will go with Pop (on this machine). my others have ubuntu [07:07] pragomer: its weird you cant goto live with nomodeset [07:07] i never seen a system yet not being able to reach setup [07:07] yes, this always helped in the past... (on all other machines) [07:07] pragomer: test an ubuntu with another kernel as last test [07:08] Pop_OS has kernel 4.18 also, just looked up [07:08] hmm [07:08] ok, now the last thing I am going to try is ubuntu server... [07:08] pragomer: from popos, can you check with graphics driver loaded? [07:08] wich [07:08] pragomer: sudo lshw -C video [07:08] popos directly loads nvidia [07:09] actually popos is installed on it. do you mean to check this from the installed os or from live installer? [07:09] live installer, or? [07:09] pragomer: installed [07:12] lshw: http://i.imgur.com/baCDqOv.png [07:12] pragomer: yeah looks like the nvidia driver loaded [07:13] pragomer: ubuntu-drivers list [07:13] !info nvidia-driver-390 bionic [07:13] nvidia-driver-390 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390): NVIDIA driver metapackage. In component restricted, is optional. Version 390.116-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 384 kB, installed size 1074 kB [07:15] I think the problem is, that this laptop ONLY works with nvidia drivers and not with noveau. [07:15] and the difference Pop does is to have it enabled even while installing, is that right? [07:16] pragomer: your card is an optimus, so it needs the nvidia driver [07:16] pragomer: but normally a nomodeset can bypass this [07:16] could I bypass this issue while using the server iso, what do you think? [07:17] pragomer: well installing server on a desktop is probably not what you want right [07:17] pragomer: i would test a 16.04 see if it works there [07:18] ok, I just began to download 16.04.6 [07:18] great [07:19] pragomer: if that doesnt work, there's some serious problem :p [07:19] Which OCR would you recommend for converting good quality text images to text? The documents are in Finnish so scandinavian characters like ä and ö are needed.

I think I was on a couple times after but the comp would crash after 10 minutes or so, not sure why. [07:22] NewToLubuntu: always make sure system is up to date ok [07:23] NewToLubuntu: you are the admin on your machine, check updates yourself or setup updates to automaticly [07:25] whoops, closed window by mistake. I think updates are done but am getting this now https://i.imgur.com/ZN7AVI5.png [07:28] lotuspsychje: I had changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" so I'm thinkin I should maybe "install the package maintainer's version" and then just re-do what I did previously if necessary [07:29] NewToLubuntu: i would go for the local one [07:29] Other question about Monitors and frequencies: some of my monitors run (according to gnome) with 60,00 Hz, some run with 59,9.. and this laptop shows me weirdly 60,01 Hz. Is this ok or should there all be exactly 60,00 Hz ??

[08:19] I can't recover and reinstall GRUB2 (XUbuntu 18.04 LTS). I created password and now it asks for password every time on boot, without option for normal boot. I want to remove passwords and start over. [08:21] I followed procedure from: help.ubuntu.com but it pritted about /dev not mounted, after chroot and grub-install [08:21] but I followed procedure [08:22] NewToLubuntu: software&sources is the icon with a box + earth icon [08:22] lotuspsychje: 16.04 has exact the same problem. [08:23] lotuspsychje: I googled and found terms about that this exact model could make problems because of its two graphic cards (onboard/nvidia) [08:23] lotuspsychje: still checking out.. ;-) [08:24] pragomer: maybe try to blacklist nouveau at boot [08:31] so! next round of sound debugging :) [08:32] status quo: chrome/FF don't see a microphone. it appears as if they're not talking to (the right) pulse? [08:33] any tipps appreciated [08:33] why does ubuntu let the old kernel images fill up to 100% and make the system crash ( cant boot ) [08:34] i solved the problem , but still makes me wonder why there is nothing that prevents this from happening [08:35] unimatrix9: hey, cool nickname. all my pcnames correspond to such ones ;-) [08:35] <--- idiot [08:35] what does unimatrix9 mean? [08:36] lordcirth: what we did yesterday did not survive the reboot [08:37] lotuspsychje: according to some google searches this is called a "hybrid graphics card".. I am sure I read about problems withi such cards on ubuntu.. [08:37] cool ;) [08:37] lotuspsychje: ah, thats what you called "optimus"; now I see [08:39] ppf start from beginning you use build in mic or external one [08:39] external [08:39] onboard soundcard [08:40] lotuspsychje: that icon under System Tools (a blue circle on a white box) is called Software and opening it produces this screen https://i.imgur.com/4GM0p2g.png [08:40] by default ubuntu will retain old kernels , wich could cause the /boot drive becoming 100% full , giving a kernel panic not syncing vfs..+ [08:41] whether the directory or folder exist the exactly size in linux , in addition is there some difference between '"df -h /tmp"=1.6G ' and '"du -sh"=53k' [08:41] ledeni: other applications, such as mumble and games work fine [08:41] they talk to pulse and appear as 'recording' applications in pavucontroo [08:41] maybe this is a difference in naming between standard Ubuntu and Lubuntu? [08:41] i asked myself the question why there is nothing to prevent this from happening [08:41] any way, its solved now.. [08:42] try to search for mic in preference of ff [08:42] ledeni: ff/chrome have next to zero mic settings [08:43] you can block/allow it for sites, but that's it [08:43] have a nice day you all ;) [08:44] Hi! Is it possible to enable RSTP in Ubuntu? [08:44] indo mana nih [08:56] ppf how you test ff/chrome for mic [08:56] ledeni: https://www.onlinemictest.com/ for instance === alazred_ is now known as alazred [09:17] for me came up message to allow mic --> https://imgur.com/a/ZFZW3JN [09:18] ledeni: yes. but it's not a permission issue! chrome doesn't know that there is a mic [09:21] ppf check https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205093487-How-do-I-enable-my-mic-in-Chrome- [09:27] ledeni: it's not a chrome problem [09:33] ppf if you run alsamixer f4 in terminal do you see mic [09:37] I repaired my booting after moving previous BTRFS snapshot to "@" and system boots right. [09:37] But I now can't remove @_badroot [09:37] It says: sudo btrfs subvolume delete @_badroot Delete subvolume (no-commit): '/mnt/@_badroot' ERROR: cannot delete '/mnt/@_badroot': Directory not empty [09:39] adn after rmoving all contents with 'rm' command from /mnt/@_badroot/ , thatere is folder /mnt/@_badroot/restore that fails to delete and therefore Btrfs can't remove @_badroot snapshot.. [09:39] Operation preceeding inability to boot form GRUB were setting password on GRUB, that didn't work and didn't accept password. [09:41] So I can work properly now, and grub is repaired, yet can't remove /mnt/@_badroot snapshot , because can't delete /mnt/@_badroot/restore empty folder , with message: rm: cannot remove 'restore': Operation not permitted [09:43] Anybody here has experiance with setting up L2TP/IPSec on Ubuntu 18.10? i am using network-manager-l2tp and network-manager-l2tp-gnome package, and the L2TP VPN is setup with IKEv2 and i think network manager makes a ikev1 connection [09:44] because i get no_proposal_chosen errors in the journalctl which is the same if i use ike-scan -1 if i use ike-scan -2 i get chipers i should use === sinner is now known as Guest26810 [09:57] ledeni: yes === murthy is now known as murthy_ === murthy_ is now known as murthy [10:12] good afternoon [10:12] I am trying to copy a large number of files from an NTFS drive to my external HDD. [10:13] the problem is that Ubuntu gets stuck after it copies a number of files. [10:13] the hdd remains busy and it can't be unmounted normally [10:15] the led keeps blinking [10:15] LED [10:17] I'm wondering if it's a problem with the USB port. [10:17] hi all I tried to put my laptop in suspend but when awake, it's black screen and unusable. I give info here (logs & config), and search for any firmware update (none). too. ANy chance please? [10:18] I'm having problems getting my lock screen to show 24-hour format on the time. How do I fix this? I'm using MATE. [10:20] I have a most important question [10:21] whats the best linux [10:25] Guest30496: GNU/Linux of course. see #ubuntu-discuss for more info [10:30] is it good [10:33] #ubuntu-discuss Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services - see https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration [11:04] is there anybody who knows sfp+ cables? [11:05] who [11:05] grady: folks in #hardware maybe [11:05] #hardware Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited [11:06] or registered. [11:06] can i extend that type of cable [11:06] grady: like totally not #ubuntu issue. try #hardware (or is it ##hardware, not sure if # will redirect) [11:07] :D [11:07] * Guest30496 kicks you in the buttros [11:09] :) [11:09] u like? [11:10] Hi, I'm trying to setup an eGPU (Razer core 2) on an Intel NUC running 18.10, but for the life of me the egpu is not even seen by the OS as far as I can tell. lspci does not give anything, nor does lsmod when I grep for nvidia. 'ubuntu-drivers devices' returns empty and lshw -c display doesn't show anything nvidia.. [11:11] I tried to isntall nvidia drivers version 415 but still nothing... [11:11] Is this the right place or is there a dioff channel maybe ? [11:11] I did turn secure boot off as suggested in various places [11:13] uzee, how did you try to install them and what do you mean nothing ? [11:14] mjayk: thanks, I basically connected the egpu enclosure which has the geforce gtx card in it. So I connected the power supply of the egpu and connected it to the Intel NUC via thunderbolt [11:16] but I cannot really verify if its working or connected? theres no led or lights or indication on the egpu to tell me [11:17] uzee, ah sorry not much experience with egpu's but heres something https://egpu.io/forums/thunderbolt-linux-setup/egpu-in-blender-18-04-works-flawlessly/ [11:19] mjayk: thanks, no worries, I did go through that one also :) but my problem is way before :( I mean I cant even tell if the egpu is on or not... I dont hear any noise or any lights... :( hence the confusion, plus the OS doesn't seem to be aware of any such device [11:19] Moin [11:23] does anyone know of a channel for egpu or razer, maybe I could get some help there... [11:28] How long can a USB drive last on a full ubuntu install with XFS? like before it dies [11:31] uzee: that version is only available from the graphics drivers PPA, and is obsoleted now btw fwith 418 [11:31] uzee: oops, sorry, was up in the backlog, referring to nvidia [11:34] Hey all, I just noticed that something is attacking my server by looking for existing imap users. This is what I found in dovecot.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ggZVPZhNPs/ [11:35] Anyone can help me to block these requests? [11:35] Fleuv: for starters, that looks like a broken dovecot config. There's #ubuntu-server and #dovecot where this would be more appropriate, btw, get help quicker [11:36] Fleuv: that said, fail2ban [11:36] or not... those accesses are distributed, fail2ban would be useless probably [11:36] yes thought so [11:37] strong password policy is #1 defense in that case. also try tarpitting the _account_, not the client IP, with dovecot+weakforced [11:37] The error is there because the targeted email domain doesn't have any email accounts [11:37] Fleuv: ^^^ [11:37] Fleuv: you can set up null MX record for the domain [11:37] How long can a USB drive last on a full ubuntu install with XFS? like before it dies [11:38] Fleuv: helps preventing automated systems that scan for MX, from thinking you have one [11:38] blackflow, the domain is already on google mx records [11:39] Fleuv: then there's not much you can do, other than fixing that config issue so it won't be logged like that. you will probably get AUTH failures logged then [11:39] blackflow, I'm looking for something like every machine what tries to use dovecot for that particular account will get black listed. [11:40] Fleuv: fail2ban but again... useless in distributed attacks. [11:41] Fleuv: you should simply accept the reality on the internet which is: you will be probed, scanned, attacked, bruteforced, attempted exploited, _Actually_ exploited, etc..... and then act accordingly. [11:41] blackflow, Maybe I should just create an email account with a very simple password but with no quota to catch the attacker :D [11:42] Fleuv: dovecot has auth_verbose config option which iirc won't log auth failures, and will silence those logs in _this_ case (but you lose valuable info). [11:42] Fleuv: you seem to think there's only one attacker :) === murthy is now known as murthy_ [11:44] hi [11:44] blackflow, hehe yea you're right no possible way of preventing these attacks no matter what source it comes from. I will probably just keep monitoring my logs and basically leave it for what it is now [11:44] test msg for video [11:44] Fleuv: for starters fix THAT error in your pastebin. that's a config error. [11:45] blackflow, i know but it's okay because the error doesn't affect anything that matters. [11:46] an error what does matter, the one I was looking for (and filtered out the paste): imap(existing@email.test) Error: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" [11:46]
