[00:06] Dice: As already stated, we do not support self-compiled software here. If you compiled it yourself, please seek other support channels. [00:06] Eickmeyer: I reinstalled it and didn't compile it myself, but again: this is not a tor specific question [00:06] it's an Ubuntu question, which I ask in #ubuntu [00:07] I'm not asking "How do I configure this tor config?" I'm asking "How do I find this Ubuntu thing in Ubuntu?" [00:07] that's why I removed the mentions of Tor in the path, but clearly I missed one of them [00:07] Dice: You installed it via an unsupported method before. That's why you're in the situation you are in. We have no idea how to help you beyond that. [00:08] Eickmeyer: No, that's not why I'm in the situation I'm in [00:08] it's completely reinstalled now [00:08] Dice: Via what method? [00:08] one of the methods I was given here. But it's irrelevant because I'm asking about Ubuntu [00:09] !tor [00:09] No, you are asking about Tor. [00:09] Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en [00:09] Eickmeyer: No, the question is about Ubuntu [00:09] the factoid says do their thing, not apt [00:09] I'm asking: How do I find a specific systemd file [00:09] is systemd tor or ubuntu? [00:09] (It's ubuntu) [00:09] Dice: Sorry, that's a tor thing. They install their own systemd files. We are not responsible. [00:09] so tell us what method of installing you used? [00:09] I also asked about how to see what user is assigned in a systemd file. Is this about tor or ubuntu? (hint: ubuntu) [00:10] OerHeks: It's irrelevant, I was asking about systemd [00:10] it could be literally any program [00:10] it's not relevant [00:10] Dice: Then check in #systemd. This is offtopic. [00:10] ...huh? [00:10] Eickmeyer: systemd is ubuntu [00:10] if you have no idea how ubuntu works, then why are you whining about questions here? [00:10] Dice: if you installed via apt, then the systemd file gets installed automatically and works perfectly. If you're not in that state, then you did not install tor using the supported method [00:11] leftyfb: I did, and it does not work automatically. It does work after you remove a broken file though [00:11] What I was asking now was about a permission error [00:11] Dice: it worked perfectly for me [00:11] this had nothing to do with Tor itself, but how Ubuntu works [00:11] Dice: I got no permission issues [00:11] Dice: I'm an ubuntu developer. Please do not lecture me. [00:11] so the question is ubuntu related [00:11] leftyfb: That doesn't mean it's impossible to get. I solved the permissio nerror [00:12] so I've currently got no question to need answered. What I'm saying is that I *was* asking a question about Ubuntu, not about tor specifically [00:12] Dice: please pastebin the output of: sudo lsof -i :9050 [00:12] Eickmeyer: You're a tor developer and you still don't understand that systemd questions are on-topic in #Ubuntu? [00:12] Ubuntu developer* [00:13] Somehow I doubt that [00:13] leftyfb: you want to know the user? [00:14] Dice: I want the complete output of: sudo lsof -i :9050 [00:14] tor 912 debian-tor 6u IPv4 27649 0t0 TCP localhost:9050 (LISTEN) [00:14] Dice: now: sudo apt-cache policy tor [00:15] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xVCs6Bs6dc/ [00:16] Dice: ok, you're using their .deb which we do not support. Good luck. [00:16] Again, I haven't asked about tor [00:16] Dice: You won't get support here for things that are not in default Ubuntu. [00:17] Dice: your issue is with trying to get the tor application from the tor repo to work. [00:17] Dice: we are not going to help with that. Sorry. [00:17] rypervenche: My question was this: "How do I find a systemd file that shows up in 'locate', but does not seem to actually exist where 'locate' says it exists?" [00:17] that is a plain ubuntu question [00:17] it could be about literally any software and any systemd file [00:17] it's irrelevant [00:17] Dice: sudo updatedb then your locate will be accurate [00:18] jesus christ that was so fucking difficult for anyone else to say [00:18] !op [00:18] Help!

[00:18] skatetensor: tor service [00:19] If tor using is an absolute for you i'd suggest to go with something that works oftb with tor [00:19] Eickmeyer: Hopefully you'll get banned for unnecessarily whining about a systemd question, and then incorrectly saying it's off topic to ask about systemd in #ubuntu [00:19] Parrot linux for example [00:19] Dice: wind it in [00:19] Eickmeyer: Check rypervenche's answer, that was literally all I was looking for [00:19] Dice: lose the attitude or leave [00:19] leftyfb: I never had an attitude, I asked a simple question and he was complaining about it [00:20] that's not how to treat someone who asks for help with ubuntu (not tor specific) [00:20] Dice: multiple people were telling you that you were offtopic. Regardless, you have your answer. Good luck with your tor. [00:20] leftyfb: how is it off topic to ask "How do I find a systemd file that shows up in 'locate' but does not seem to exist"? [00:21] jiz people chill , make badly coded .debs not war [00:21] Dice: discussion is over [00:21] leftyfb: exactly. it's not off topic. Sure, I might've worded it wrong but just give up, seriously [00:21] at least make an attempt to understand what I'm saying. [00:23] Rude helpers here not the way it should be. [00:24] alien64: can we help you with something? You can chat or rant in #ubuntu-offtopic if you like. [00:24] I even censored every mention of tor just because you autistic retards panic every time, I just missed one. If I literally removed every instance of the word "tor" in my question, then the question clearly is not about tor leftyfb Eickmeyer. It's impossible to get support from you autistic fucking idiots, im outta here [00:25] leftyfb: you certainly may not help me. === TheReturnOfJo is now known as battleangle === skatetensor is now known as ozaki [00:39] I am accessing the HD on my laptop which wont boot due to a likely boot sector error ... I was advised it is best to try to backup as much as possible ... am now booted with a bootable ubuntu cd but have permissions errors ... I suck at permissions ... how can I access files on the HD? [00:40] testdisk, photorec, or other disaster software [00:41] https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [00:41] Vic3: What do you mean permissions?Normally if you use a live USB, lets say ubuntu, when you are using its live mode you can go to the file manager and then access the partition you are interested [00:41] greetings all-i would like to make an iso of a cd rom software i have from within ubuntu would dd be the way to do it provided im certain about the sdx (so i dont delete anything i shouldnt) [00:42] ozaki, his partition scheme is broken, beyound boundries [00:42] and some parts are missing, iirc [00:44] dd would do: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/file.iso [00:45] thank you OerHeks ur always very helpful =) [00:46] ozaki - exactly, but when I try to copy files to an external USB I get: Permission denied when I try to copy the files. [00:47] Vic3: So are you able to read the files and you can't copy them? [00:47] right [00:48] so what i would do is, find the path of where your files are stored [00:48] and then sudo chmod a+rwx file path [00:50] Or even a simpler version that might work,right click on the file and change its permissions on the properties tabs [00:50] tab* [00:50] right clicking and changing does not work as it says I am not the owner. [00:50] so I am guessing I need to use the command line and sudo. [00:51] Wait a moment of inspiration here [00:51] please do, clt+alt+t [00:51] which is? [00:51] to open a terminal, and then sudo -i [00:52] Vic3: What is the desination directory > as you do not want to mess with changing any systems directories. [00:52] then type nautilus [00:52] and then try to copy the files [00:52] ahh, ok - brilliant thought .. let me check it. [00:53] Bashing-om ... I am just working to copy important files, media, documents, etc. [00:53] so if all goes to hell when I try to fix the boot sector, I will have my important stuff. :) [00:53] Vic3: :) .. but to where ? [00:54] external USB drive? WD MyBook. [00:54] Vic3: Then yes, "you" should own the destination directory. [00:54] Right but apparently do not own the origin directory. :( [00:55] so... did it work?; [00:55] :p [00:55] going now, brb. [00:59] ozaki / Vic3: to access a location in nautilus as the root user, don't run nautilus as the root root, just access said path with a prefix of "admin://" [01:00] nice [01:01] tomreyn: Thanks,but if you want to access the path via terminal with a live usb you first need to mount the drive [01:02] is ubuntu based on debian testing or unstable? [01:02] The permissions problem is only ubuntu related, i can copy files from a live usb that has Manjaro [01:03] BreccaBronding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#History [01:03] ok ... sorta works. I need to change ownership from the 'owner' to root on SOME files. [01:03] BreccaBronding: Neither - ubuntu is a sister to debian. [01:04] ozaki - is there a potential better live cd to use? [01:04] Bashing-om: "Ubuntu packages are based on packages from Debian's unstable branch." [01:04] leftyfb: Many :) [01:05] Vic3: I did a clean install a week ago and i also copied the files from a live usb.So i can say that i did not have a problem with a parrot live usb or a manjaro live usb [01:05] Anyways ozaki -- it bitched because it could not save /root/nautilus/config [01:06] but I ignored the error and ... /shrug [01:06] parrot or manjaro, which is smaller, easier, cleaner ? [01:07] Vic3: both are offtopic here [01:07] Vic3: use Lubuntu [01:07] I've been having this problem for a while [01:07] Just asking for a personal recommendation due to the nature of this issue Ubuntu doesnt work for me. [01:08] Vic3: can you please install sudo apt-get install nautilus-admin [01:08] For some reason my sound config always sets itself so that it's constantly louder on the right than on the left [01:08] Yes, this is even when I manually set it to the middle [01:08] After a reboot, it's back to blasting my right ear only [01:08] ozaki - to what end? [01:09] Vic3: This isn't the place to get recommendations for distributions other than Ubuntu. Feel free to ask in ##linux [01:09] Vic3: This will install a policy to nautilus so if you right click u ll have the option to run as admin a folder [01:09] I have mostly default config, so I'm pretty sure pulseaudio is at the controls, but how do I tell it that it shouldn't push the volume higher on the right [01:09] ozaki great [01:10] The config info I can find only tells me how to set volume for a device, not for each side of a device separately [01:12] Vic3: Then you ll need to restart nautilis using, nautilus -q [01:12] ozaki Unable to locate package [01:13] so um [01:14] Vic3: how come? You are using the lastest version of ubuntu right? [01:15] ozaki: it's part of the universe repo [01:16] Oh thanks i did not know that [01:16] So before install nautilis-admin you need to add the universe repo [01:16] sudo add-apt-repository universe [01:16] then sudo update [01:17] and then sudo apt-get install nautilus-admin [01:19] 14.04 ozaki [01:20] ozaki: The universe repo is enabled by default in Ubuntu. [01:20] Eickmeyer: even in live usb? [01:21] ozaki: I missed that part. [01:22] ozaki: I think so since most of the official flavor packages come from universe. [01:25] anyone here? first time using IRC [01:25] no I had to add it ... but still not able to locate nautilus-admin ... so am going to try one of the other live OS's mentioned earlier.

Thanks! === n0mad_ is now known as [n0mad] [01:40] Ok this is going to be a lame question but I never have to do it ... how to completely erase or format a usb stick at sdc ? [01:41] Vic3: if you use dd or something like etcher.io to flash the usb with another iso, you do not need to partition or format it [01:41] Vic3: that said, use gpartd if you just want to format it to copy some files to it [01:42] ok so if it already has an iso, I can simply dd again with the new iso? [01:42] Vic3: I would use etcher.io , but yes [01:43] ty leftyfb [01:45] Is there a common xrdp gotcha that i'm just missing? It fails to attach to a locked screen, it fails to spawn a wm [01:48] artyx: I would suggest x11vnc or teamviewer [01:48] leftyfb: Based on ease of setup or some performance thing? [01:49] artyx: both, and the fact that RDP is a Windows protocol which wasn't designed for linux OS's [01:56] hard to beat teamviewer, and it's ability to punch through NAT [01:58] ub3g33k: it's not punching through anything. It's a tunneled service [01:59] It's a colloquilism... ie, you don't need to do any port forwarding in order to have remote access to machines [01:59] It essentially "Punches through NAT", via a tunnel :) [02:00] ub3g33k: no, it's not. It's not a direct connection between 2 parties. The remote teamviewer service acts as a middle-man for a tunneled connection. [02:00] leftyfb: Yes, I know exactly how teamviewer works. Thanks. [02:01] ub3g33k: Then please do not misrepresent how it works to other who don't know better. [02:01] The colloquial expression still works, and is easy to say than explaining the technical details everytime you want to say how well it works, without opening firewall holes [02:01] :/ [02:01] It's an expression, it's not misleading. [02:02] enough floks [02:02] *folks [02:02] But, I suppose I'll cede to your technical expertise. You are very smart. [02:02] ub3g33k: enough [02:11] * mKay_005 looking around...

[12:26] pa: apt-cache policy libqt5core5a [12:27] as i wrote, the pkg works just fine [12:27] right [12:27] there's your problem [12:27] the package should be removed [12:27] so i'd like to keepit [12:27] put it in some sort of ignore [12:28] pa: libqt5core5a 5.9 isn't supported on 14.04. [12:28] pa: also, 14.04 will be unsupported in 2 weeks [12:28] !mix | pa [12:28] pa: it is usually a very bad idea to mix packages from different releases (or Linux distributions), and it is completely unsupported [12:28] it's true, but it's also unneeded [12:28] i mean [12:28] the pkg depends on that thing [12:28] but even if i did not install it, it works as expected [12:29] pa: what package relies on libqt5core5a 5.9? [12:29] breeze-gtk-theme [12:29] !info breeze-gtk-theme trusty [12:29] Package breeze-gtk-theme does not exist in trusty [12:29] that is why i backported it [12:30] pa: that's not backported [12:30] well, in the sense i installed a version for a later ubuntu release [12:30] pa: you're running an unsupported package on a soon to be unsupported version of ubuntu [12:30] this is true. The question, however, is, how to ignore a package that apt thinks is conflicting in this way [12:31] is it possible? [12:31] pa: I would highly suggest you forget about trying to get an unsupported theme to work on your install and focus on getting it upgraded to something that will be supported for a while. At least 16.04, but I'd recommend 18.04 [12:32] leftyfb: the unsupported theme works just fine, as i wrote above [12:32] pa: apt wants to do the right think by default, if you do something youre not supposed to, apt will try to fix [12:32] so everything is fine with the system, i just want to silence apt [12:33] pa: you modified the .deb? [12:33] pa: everything is fine with your system(it's not) so you want to break apt? [12:33] lotuspsychje: that is true, i'm not swearing against apt [12:33] blackflow: hmmm.. perhaps.. i can't remember now.. [12:33] pa: you said you backported [12:34] did you build a .deb or by "backported" you mean you pulled in from another repo [12:34] i think i removed some deps? i am not sure, let me see if i still have it in /tmp [12:34] blackflow: they installed the dpkg manually. For some reason they consider that "backported" [12:34] oh [12:34] yeah, no. if you modified the .deb and built it, it has the "Provides" directive which could solve your issue [12:34] (which is not supported here in #ubuntu, just saying you have that option) [12:35] pa: By installing they theme, you have broken your system. Apt is constantly trying to repair it and you want to prevent apt from doing so. Sorry, you're not going to get help with that here. Good luck [12:35] pa: build a snap of it instead [12:35] Yep broken apt system is bad [12:36] pa: and as leftyfb stated, instead of playing on 14.04 still, try to upgrade/clean install a newer ubuntu version [12:36] Why not extract deb content and install by hand [12:36] lotuspsychje: im trying to do that too [12:36] raver: please don't [12:36] raver: no. build a snap of it, if you have to build something "by hand" [12:36] pa: its reccomended before you upgrade, you dont have apt issues [12:36] Ok [12:36] Snap is new to me [12:36] building a snap should be a breeze. https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-documentation/3781 [12:37] pa: so just forget your breeze theme, upgrade then play again on xenial/bionic [12:37] blackflow: I don't think building a snap for 14.04 is the best use of resources [12:37] Mostly i get the source and compile by my own if there aren't any good ppa [12:37] Thx [12:37] tough crowd. ahem..... building a snap (of breeze gtk theme) should be a BREEZE. get it? no? hmm? bah.
