lwlvltomreyn, https://termbin.com/hf4u00:00
tomreynqwebirc78446: you could also see whether you run into the same issues when booting from a 18.04 live / installer iso00:01
tomreynqwebirc78446: if you don't, then maybe it's a hint that you should do a fresh ubuntu 18.04.2 installation00:01

lwlvltomreyn, Mai 03 01:58:20 tatjana kernel: snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D2: Unable to sync register 0x2f0d00. -1100:03
tomreynlwlvl: yes you also had this last time, another line to investigate, i agree00:04
tomreynlwlvl: also your thermald is not configured00:04
qwebirc78446Nomodeset was already in the boot params. I'll have to00:06
qwebirc78446Do something else00:06
lwlvltomreyn, yes, but I don't suspect thermald to freeze the wakeup process...00:06
tomreynlwlvl: "Mai 03 01:58:20" is your first wakeup, 2.5 minutes after suspend was reached, right?00:07
lwlvlyes00:07
tomreynand restoring the desktop took  ~ 30s from there00:08
qwebirc78446Hmm00:09
tomreynsounds fine to me, based on (only) those logs00:09
lwlvltomreyn, taking 2.5min to wake up?00:09
lwlvlthat worse is not even windows 10!00:09
tomreynqwebirc78446: i'm afraid i have no better suggestions than the generic ones i provided. maybe another one you could try is to     sudo apt purge *nvidia*   and see if the system boots properly with nouveau, the open source graphics driver. this would at least enable you to investigate more then.00:10
tomreynlwlvl: i'm saying it seem to have taken linux and your desktop 30s to wake up, after a 2.5 minute suspend.00:11
tomreynlwlvl: if you suspended shorter than that, your firmware will be to blame.00:11
lwlvltomreyn, it's more like that: I suspended the hardware, opened the lid after let's say 10 seconds (when the led began to flash smoothly) and the led became bright again....but nothing happened for 2.5 minutes....after that time the login-screen came up and I was able to login.00:13
qwebirc78446Well I did purge *nvida*00:15
qwebirc78446Good news: it boots to a gui00:16
qwebirc78446Bad news: I try to log in and it says " failed to start session"00:16
tomreynlwlvl, qwebirc78446: i just got disconnected, may have missed some of what you wrote. here's what i wrote last:00:20
tomreyn<tomreyn> lwlvl: you lack a "critical" mainboard firmware update https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/YOGA-SERIES/YOGA-330-11IGM/81A6/downloads/DS502882       - BIOS 6QCN45WW 11/22/2018 is what you have now00:20
qwebirc78446I did sudo apt purge *nvidia*00:20
qwebirc78446Good news: boots to gui00:20
lwlvltomreyn, damn....I suspected it....but I didn't update it since it's a windows-executable....00:21
tomreynqwebirc78446: you could try creating a new user account (sudo adduser --gecos '' testuser; sudo adduser testuser sudo) and see if you can login to that.00:21
lwlvltomreyn, thank you for investigation....00:21
lwlvltomreyn, so I need to boot to windows somehow....00:22
qwebirc78446Still got failed to start session00:24
tomreynqwebirc78446: see if you have a directory like /etc/X1100:25
tomreynls -la /etc/X1100:25
tomreynand some file or directory which starts with "xorg" in there00:26
tomreynlwlvl: the folks in ##windows may be happy to point you to https://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/00:26
qwebirc78446Yep,  found them00:27
tomreynqwebirc78446: so those need to be renamed / moved out of the way.00:27
qwebirc78446Ok.00:27
tomreynls -alR /etc/X11/xorg* | nc termbin.com 999900:28
tomreyn^ just if you like00:28
qwebirc78446I got 99xo out of that command00:32
qwebirc78446I've renamed the xorg files btw00:33
faLUCEhello. is there a way to install pipelight on 18.04 (bionic) ?00:36
faLUCEthe "official" package seems broken:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/pipelight00:37
lwlvltomreyn, thank you!00:39
tomreynlwlvl: you're welcome.00:40
tomreynqwebirc78446: feel free to mention the nickname of whom you're addressing to ensure they get notified about your reply.00:41
tomreynqwebirc78446: "99xo" sounds wrongm but maybe it came out wrong...00:42
tomreynqwebirc78446: either way, just reboot once more after removing these files and having uninstalled allthe *nvidia* packages00:42
qwebirc78446tomreyn why does it sound wrong?  Fwiw I ran the command after renaming the xorg files00:43
tomreynqwebirc78446: it's just not the name i expected to see there, but it  should not cause any issues, normally there are no files there at all.00:44
tomreynqwebirc78446: oh i just realize i got you wrong there00:44
tomreynyou were pointing me to https://termbin.com/99xo00:45
tomreynqwebirc78446: okay, this looks fine. try rebooting (if you haven't already) and logging in as your normal or the new user now.00:46
tomreynqwebirc78446: if you later want to try installing nvidia drivers again, you can use the "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" command on a tty / terminal or the "software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4" command on a graphical desktop00:48
tomreynfaLUCE: there is no such package to begin with https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pipelight00:57
faLUCEtomreyn: I know00:57
faLUCEtomreyn: that's what I said00:57
tomreynfaLUCE: you said 'the "official" package seems broken', pointing to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/pipelight00:58
tomreynthis implies there is a package, and that is it broken.00:58
tomreynfaLUCE: most people who try to install pipelight actually try to make widevine work on a web browser. firefox and chrome (the proprietary one, not supported here) provide support for it.01:02
tomreynjust install the web browser and access a website which provides the DRM'd content.01:03
lwlvltomreyn, okay...bios-upgrade didn't do the trick. I'll disable the suspend-functions in logind.conf for the first so the girl can work with the device...I need to figure out later with the notebook of my girlfriend (which is exactly the same) what's going wrong....01:06
qwebirc78446tomreyn was ago for a bit. If I just reboot after renaming the city.conf files, it'll automatically sort itself out?01:09
qwebirc78446Afk*01:09
qwebirc78446Xorg*01:09
tomreynlwlvl: a pity, good luck!01:11
tomreynqwebirc78446: that's my hope, yes01:11
tomreynqwebirc78446: those xorg configuration files contain instrucxtions used by the proprietary nvidia driver ("nvidia"). you now use the open source one ("nouveau"), which means these configurations can only get in the way. normally, with open source drivers, the X server will automatically figure out how to configure itself, so no configuration files should be needed.01:13
tomreynqwebirc78446: i have to wrap it up here, need sleep. good luck, and feel free to summarize the issue and what as done so far, and what's not working yet, here if you'd like someone else to take over,01:14

Platypus-ManI'm having audio issues on Ubuntu 18.94.2 LTS - have tried laptop speakers, headset via 3.5 jack and a bluetooth headset, none of them give sound via media stored on the laptop, or played from youtube - all of them work when I try the audio test (audible front left/front right), tried both "HDA ATI HDMI" and "HD-Audio Generic" in alsamixer03:40

lotuspsychjePlatypus-Man: ok that looks good, pastebin us your dmesg log please?03:47
lotuspsychjePlatypus-Man: another option could be testing with pavucontrol if you can get more sound to work03:50

lotuspsychjePlatypus-Man: seems like you also have secureboot=ON do you dualboot or singleboot?03:52
Platypus-Mansingleboot, came with Windows but I only have Ubuntu on it now03:53
lotuspsychjePlatypus-Man: then its reccomended also to have secureboot=off and fastboot=off , be carefull changing these could influence your current install of ubuntu03:54
jcottonwhere is it reccomended to have secure boot off?03:54
lotuspsychjejcotton: thats what i always do for singleboots03:55
jcottonyour phrasing implies its backed by someone tho03:55
lotuspsychjejcotton: secureboot off can have unwanted behaviour on ubuntu, like wifi,sound,graphics block03:56
lotuspsychjeon, sorry03:56
lotuspsychjejcotton: did you see: 0.000000] Kernel is locked down from EFI secure boot; see man kernel_lockdown.703:57

jcottonI know about that03:57

Platypus-Manonly way to disable secure boot on this laptop was to change from UEFI to legacy boot in the BIOS, which made it not recognize a boot record at all04:07

zetherooIs there a way to list all cronjobs on the system?07:26
lotuspsychje!cron | zetheroo07:27
ubottuzetheroo: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto07:27
zetheroolotuspsychje: I didn't find anything in there about my question.07:31
lotuspsychjezetheroo: did you try: crontab -l07:33

zetheroothat seems to work well for all user crons, but not sure if it also shows what is in /etc/cron ...07:36
zetherools -la /etc/cron.monthly/ only lists the files in the desired directory ... I am looking for a way to list all the cronjobs on the systems07:37
zetherooon one of our 16.04 servers we have this command running and it's using a lot of IO: rsync --server --sender -vlogDtpre.iLfxC --numeric-ids . /home/07:48

sylarioHi, I am using ubuntu 18.04 and I do not understand my ssh service. The config file seems to be /etc/ssh/ssh_config instead of sshd_config10:22
sylarioAlso /etc/init.d/ssh restart and service ssh restart and sudo service ssh restart fails10:23
sylarioI am trying to do remote port forwarding and I want to add GatewayPorts yes to the config10:25
guivercsylario, ssh_config i think you'll find the for ssh (client), sshd_config is openssh-server (server); you seem to be mixing up client & server (they are seperate)10:27

jeremy31https://askubuntu.com/questions/745737/windows-10-randomly-kicks-out-my-grub-how-do-i-reinstall-it12:03
EriC^^Catzzye: hi12:04
jeremy31ryouba: I think you can put an EFI system partition on sdb and use the BIOS boot menu to boot to it12:04
ryoubajeremy31: according to a comment on that answer it seems that windows only changed the UEFI boot order12:04
=== SysGh_st is now known as SysGhost
ryoubabut i guess a second EFI partition might make more sense ... also if someone ever gets the idea of changing drives in the laptop12:04
ryoubathank you!12:04
EriC^^ryouba: yeah, good idea12:05
EriC^^ryouba: for the bootloader option just choose the drive itself not the partition,e.g /dev/sdb (after making an efi partition in the partitioning scheme of the installer)12:06
jeremy31It would be easy to fix if it did just change the boot order.  I haven't booted Win 10 since December and I made some changes so it won't boot Win at all now12:07
ryoubaEriC^^: damn, i just chose the partition ... hopefully going to be able to fix that after the installation runs through - or should i just abort and redo right now?12:08
EriC^^ryouba: i dont think it'll really matter for uefi12:09
ryoubaEriC^^: okay!12:09
EriC^^usually grub-install for uefi doesnt even take an argument12:09

varjagis there a way to make firefox open root-owned folders in 18.04?12:21
varjagi need to browse under /usr/doc12:22
varjag(hello)12:22
ayekatvarjag: /usr/doc should be world-readable, so firefox should be able to just browse it normally12:27
ayekatwait... /usr/share/doc or /usr/doc? the latter doesn't really exist12:28
varjagright, /usr/share/doc12:28
varjagthat's what i thought, but it won't browse12:29
varjagit does browse on my mint 19 setup12:29
varjagon bionic i get permission denied12:29
ayekatvarjag: what file in particular?12:29
varjagall of them, i can't access the directory even12:30
Chaekyungwell, firefox can't open files that it has no permission to open. why your /usr/share/doc isn't world readable is beyond me, though.12:30
varjag"file:///usr/share/doc/"12:30
varjagit *is* world readable12:30
Chaekyungif you want to browse it with firefox then the obvious solution would be just chmod -R a+rX /usr/share/doc if it's actually not reable on your machine for some reason12:30
varjagagain, it is world readable12:31
varjagi can ls it just fine as a user12:31
Chaekyungopening file:///usr/share/doc/ on my machine works fine12:31
ayekatvarjag: can you browser your home directory? does file:///home/{username} work?12:31
varjagyes12:32
ayekats/browser/browse/12:32
ayekatvarjag: where does it stop working? can you step up to /home? and /? and /usr?12:32
EriC^^ryouba: what pc model is it?12:33
varjagayekat: i can list /, but not descend anywhere from there12:33
varjag'/snap/firefox/203/firefox-bin'12:34
varjagugh what is this snap thing12:34
varjagis that some kind of sandbox12:34
ayekatah, snaps...12:35
* ayekat slowly backs out of this12:35
varjag12:35
varjagwhat is this and how do i get rid of it12:36
ayekatI'm just someone who uses Ubuntu on a headless VM because $work, so I'm not much of a help with desktop-related issues, but... it seems *very* silly that ubuntu is in a place now where people can *accidentally* end up with snaps12:36
varjagis that some hypervisor snapshotting whatever12:37
ayekatit's some sort of alternative package management, I believe12:37
varjagoh.12:37
varjagfor the times when apt is too boring=12:38
varjaggood god thunderbird is also under that12:38
varjag*facepalm*12:38
ayekatvarjag: how did you install firefox, though? is it just the preinstalled one?12:39
varjagi got 16.04 pre-installed from dell12:39
varjaginstalled firefox via the "store", which i thought is some sort of fancy aptitude12:39
varjagand upgraded to bionic12:39
ayekathmm... maybe that "store" now defaults to installing snaps12:40
lotuspsychjeguys, focus on support12:41

zzlatevsorry!12:43
ayekatvarjag: anyway, I would probably just get rid of the firefox snap package thingy, and use apt to install it normally12:43
varjagayekat: thanks, looking into uninstalling the whole snapd thing12:44
ayekatyeah, probably saner in the long term ^^12:44
ioriavarjag, and maybe you want also to disable gnome-software-plugin-snap12:44

ryoubaEriC^^: it's an older HP G6 ... 250 or 255 or so. nevermind. i just used efibootmgr to put the ubuntu UEFI manager as the default one.12:50
EriC^^ryouba: that rarely works12:50
pcazmanDisplay orientantion is flipped. however, there is no orientantion setting in the kernel it boots up in. Do I just got to use the old kernal till the new one comes out?12:50
ryoubaEriC^^: in this case it did. but perhaps because i had also previously disabled secure boot?12:50
EriC^^on rebooting it'll put windows back, i found that disabling the entry usually works12:50
EriC^^via sudo efibootmgr -A -b <boot number in hex>12:51
EriC^^efibootmgr -a -b <boot number> enables it if you later want to set it back12:51
cyberbobHi All, is there a way to encrypt home drive in ubuntu 18.04 after installing. I've formatted my drive (/home and couple of other partitions using ext4) but want to encrypt this for security purposes12:52
EriC^^ryouba: nope, even with secureboot disabled its hardwired to boot /efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi i guess anyways it's all good, less hassle for you12:52
varjagok dell has canonical-livepatch enabled, that works via snaps..12:52
varjagthis is getting tricky12:52
EriC^^cyberbob: yeah create a user using adduser with the home encrypt options, "man adduser"12:52
varjagplan b, i uninstall everything i can from snaps and reinstall via apt12:53
varjagas jesus meant it12:53

cmm11why would ubuntu fail to install grub on this setup ? https://i.imgur.com/m0f0oeZ.png13:06
cmm11ah interesting, so i looked again and it was asking did i want to install grub to MBR, read the page wrong, did No, installed to HDD, continues13:19
cmm11and doesnt boot13:24
EriC^^cmm11: isnt a ext4 non lvm required by default for grub?13:29
EriC^^i think if you want the /boot part of the encrypted disk, you need to put it inside "/" without any partition for itself and tell grub about that13:30
cmm11"/boot is seperate and outside of LUKS so grub can be installed onto it13:30
EriC^^oh13:31
cmm11unless i've set it up wrong13:31
EriC^^are you sure?13:31
EriC^^cmm11: can you boot a live usb to troubleshoot the install?13:32
cmm11ah it's a logical volume so i guess it's putting it inside the encrypted volume group perhaps13:32
EriC^^yeah maybe13:33
cmm11this is just a VM , so i'll just try again13:33
cmm11but i think i know what's wrong13:33
EriC^^yeah13:33
mikubuntujust did an update and got an error msg in the output that worries me -- "no matching swap available" that seems to be associated with initram process -- isn't that boot? here's a pic i took of the term, do i have anything to worry about upon restart? https://imagebin.ca/v/4fojmsU8a5sM13:33
cmm11holy moly that dust13:34
cmm11EriC^^ created a RAID1 device, and could find option to create a partition on it but no option to specify which size which is very odd, but i went into guided partition and it the raid is listed, this is how the installer is setup to do it https://i.imgur.com/5xhjFYW.png13:39
cmm11so yeah it has seperate /boot under raid1 device 013:41
EriC^^that looks right cmm1113:42
cmm11so much easier doing it cli way ;) , i'll continue on and see if it boots13:42

raphinesseHey guys, my Upgrade to 19.04 aborted with a very generic error during the step "Installing the upgrades". System is bootable and seemingly well though. I would like to check what the "Distribution Upgrade" tool would have done in the remaining steps. Does anyone know where to find it's source or the source of whatever CLI tool it runs?14:01
raphinessePS I was running the GUI upgrade tool14:02
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: can you recall what the error was about?14:03
=== nat_ is now known as Natkeeran
raphinesselotuspsychje: Ugh, I had stashed the messages away, but now they are gone14:06
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: can you boot succesfully to desktop right now?14:07
raphinesselotuspsychje: yes, everything seems to work fine. The errors were during package installation. Triggers were looping during installation of `install-info` which was a dependency of `asymptote`. It complained about that, then ran a good time longer, gave an error dialog "Could not install the upgrades The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unstable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a)."14:10
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: feel free to pastebin us what apt spits out14:11
raphinesseObviously the cleanup step is missing so there are a lot packages to be autoremoved. I just wanted to see what the tool would have done other than that14:11
lotuspsychje!uptodate | raphinesse14:11
ubotturaphinesse: 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`.14:11
raphinesselotuspsychje: no problems, no updates, just the leftover packages to be autoremoved14:13
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: sounds good14:13
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: you might also have a look at your kernel version & sources.list14:14
raphinesselotuspsychje: so do you know what cleanup the dist upgrade tool does (apart from apt autoremove)? Or what other steps I could be missing?14:15
raphinesseKernel is 5.0.0-13-generic, so that worked too14:15
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: if apt isnt complaining anymore your system might be in a healthy state14:15
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: if an upgrade breaks, or you cant boot, or apt gives errors14:16
raphinesselotuspsychje: sources.list looks fine too. All entries are disco14:17
interrobangdis there any nice way to select btrfs snapshots with grub or any other bootloader??14:17
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: great! enjoy your new install :p14:18
lotuspsychjeraphinesse: what i usually do to cleanup, is bleachbit my system deeply, but thats just an opinion ok14:18

geosminwhat's the best way of changing permissions of a file (/dev/ttyUSB0) at boot14:33
geosmini know alpine has /etc/mdev.conf, not so on ubuntu14:33
ayekatgeosmin: what permissions does it have by default?14:34
ayekatI assume it's for communicating with something over a serial console, with a USB adapter?14:35
geosminayekat: yep. i could just add $user to the dialout group but i rather not give them more than they need14:35
geosminthen again i feel my solution might be a bit hacky14:36
geniigeosmin: Simplest is to execute a chown command in /etc/rc.local14:38
geosminie. "chmod 666 $(cat dmesg | grep $usb_serial_identifier\|attached\|ttyUSB\| | awk '{print $NF}'"14:38
geosmin^ my thinking, this is super ugly14:39
geosminie. grep dmesg for serial attached /dev/ttyUSBsomething and chmod 666 that file...14:39
ayekatI would have rather tried something with udev rules, but I'm not sure if (A) that applies to /dev/ttyUSB0, and (B) that is the most elegant way to go about it14:39
ayekatrc.local is about as ugly as it gets14:40
geosminhuh, i thought rc.local was deprecated14:40
geosminat boot i did 'ls /etc/rc.local' and it didn't exist14:40
ayekatyes, it would require an additional service that runs rc.local - but at that point, it's better to just write a service that does the desired task directly14:41
geosminalso i'd like to mitigate against a situation where the usb serial adapter would show up as /dev//ttyUSB1 or something14:41
ayekatbut for setting permissions/ownership of /dev files, I think that's not very clean anyway14:41
geosminyeah... maybe i should just add $user to dialout14:41
geosminis there a way to combine && and |?14:42

The problem is i can't grab the update from any computer via http / ftp / rsync to the main server or any of the 10 mirrors i have tried. for example, how could i download this I can only download 6.0kB out of 6.1kB no matter what. /ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/restricted/source/15:49
jackbakerIs there a final release large download i can grab somewhere?15:50
cfhowlettjackbaker/ from here??  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/trusty/15:51
dirtsleeperso i reinstalled while connected to ethernet and it seemed to fix the problem. thanks for the help everyone :D15:51
ioriayes, that was the issue15:52
leftyfbjackbaker: why did you install a fresh instance of a version that just went EOL?15:53
cfhowlettleftyfb/ he needs specific support for a device that seems to be restricted to 14.0415:55
jackbakercfhowlett: I have to use Nvidia's provided files leftyfb: yes, https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra-r21715:56
jackbakerleftyfb: i was on here previously and the consensus was that i should upgraded to 16.04 . I tried that and things broke. after alot messing around with it for a day i finally concluded i needed to put on a fresh image to get back to what was working.15:59
dcarmichI'm trying to create a local apt mirror on Ubuntu, and have successfully mirrored all the packages via apt-mirror. But, when I use apt-ftparchive to create the Packages file, I'm getting a lot of "archive is too short" messages even though dpkg -I on the affected packages does not show any errors. Should I re-download the packages that were mentioned?16:00

isomarican someone remind me of the name of the package manager? Not apt, the one with a frontend.16:35
JohnGavrSynaptic Manager? isomari16:36
isomariJohnGavr: thanks16:36
leftyfbisomari: that isn't THE package manager. It is an optional GUI wrapper for dpkg/apt which isn't installed by default.16:42
geosminis there a way to preserve $USER when running as sudo?16:44
OerHeksgeosmin, interesting question, what is your goal? i guess sudo does not keep $USER env16:46
leftyfbgeosmin: there is a way. Give me a bit to find it again. It's not with that variable though16:47
ayekatSUDO_USER - but that knowledge might be useless because we don't know what they're trying to do16:48
leftyfbinteresting, I didn't even know about $SUDO_USER. I think there's command you can run to get it as well16:48
ayekatyes, the command is `echo $SUDO_USER` :-P16:49
leftyfbayekat: besides that16:49
OerHekssudo sh -c 'echo $SUDO_USER' # https://askubuntu.com/questions/866567/can-i-access-the-originating-user-variable-from-within-a-script-run-with-sudo16:49
OerHeksleftyfb, yeah, this is new to me too16:50
ayekat`sudo sh -c env` for the full list of envvars... might help16:50
ayekatgeosmin: as you want to preserve specific environment variables, have a look at the --preserve-env option16:52
ayekatgeosmin: but as already mentioned, it may help us help you more efficiently if you told us your real goal16:52

lordcirth__leftyfb, you mean as opposed to 'whoami'?16:59
leftyfblordcirth__: correc16:59
leftyfbt16:59
lordcirth__leftyfb, the emulator shouldn't matter? 'man who'16:59
leftyfblordcirth__: whoami will return root, who am i will return the original user that called sudo su17:00
lordcirth__Oh I see17:00
leftyfblordcirth__: it does. Something about emulators not using utmp/wtmp or something17:00
mikubuntujust did an update and got an error msg in the output that worries me -- "no matching swap available" that seems to be associated with initram process -- isn't that boot? here's a pic i took of the term, do i have anything to worry about upon restart? https://imagebin.ca/v/4fojmsU8a5sM17:14
CatzzAre there any decent free recovery utilities?17:15
yeatsmikubuntu: 'sudo blkid' should show the actual UUID for each partition17:16
tomreynmikubuntu: just rm /etc/initramfs/conf.d/resume.conf17:16
yeatsCatzz: as in disk data recovery?  if so, probably not17:16
tomreynmikubuntu: and run     update-initramfs -u    again17:16
tomreynhi Catzz, did copying the data on windows not work out then?17:17
yeatsCatzz: there are techniques like using dd to copy whatever data it can get onto a new drive17:17
Catzztomreyn: Hey, I've been having such a rough day17:17
geosmin'false || echo oh no && exit' is exiting even if true. i understand why but don't know how to properly set that up17:17
CatzzMy heart yearns when I see your name haha17:17
Catzz(whatever that means)17:18
yeatsseem to remember something that was a wrapper of dd that would make multiple passes to try and get all the blocks on a disk17:18
tomreynCatzz: hehe, i feel pleased, but turst, me, i'm not this special. what's the issue now?17:18
tomreyn*trust me17:18
lordcirth__yeats, ddrescue; not a wrapper though.17:19
yeatsah https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/17:19
Catzztomreyn: Basically, been going in circles, the whole thing is a mess. In a nutshell, I am gonna make a clean copy of everything on the internal HD to external HD17:19
Catzzand do a complete clean install of both drives, wiping them both completely17:19
yeatslordcirth__: thanks - that's what I was remembering - been a while since I needed it17:19
lordcirth__geosmin, what do you actually want to do?17:20
tomreynCatzz: i see. so you wer eunable to copy the data off the m.2 nmve?17:20
Catzzwell yes and no17:20
yeatsCatzz: not sure what you've tried so far, but you might give ddrescue a go?17:20
CatzzI got the most important folder, but there is more stuff to it17:20
Catzzbut I mean it's not the stuff to die for17:21
Catzzyeats: Didn't give that one a go17:21
yeatsCatzz: that worked well for me a number of years ago with a failing HDD17:21
geosminlordcirth__: try a command, if fails error out and exit17:21
vltCatzz: Did you manage to copy all the bytes from the source device? (I mean the raw device, not files from a file system.)17:22
tomreynCatzz: last time i read you here the m.2 'nvme' (really an ssd) wasn't accessible from linux, did this change? if it's unchanged, all those tools discussed here won't help.17:22
mikubuntutomreyn: sorry got an important call from a ham and cheese sammich vers 1.5 .. got term open now, and you want me to run -- " rm /etc/initramfs/conf.d/resume.conf " just like that?17:22
Catzzvlt: Not sure to which copying you are refering to? The folder?17:22
Catzztomreyn: Unchanged, I used robocopy to copy the directory I needed17:22
lordcirth__geosmin, false || (echo oh no; echo exit)17:22
vltCatzz: I explicetly don't mean folders. I mean the whole device.17:23
Catzzbut using robocopy prooved that the M.2 is fine, not failing17:23
CatzzI didn't make a 1:1 copy of the device, just one 30GB folder vlt17:23
tomreynmikubuntu: i'm not 100% certain about the path, type those path compnnents word by word, keep double tapping tab to tab expand.17:23
tomreynmikubuntu: but other than that, yes. you could also just edit it and comment out the one RESUME line in there.17:23
tomreynno need to rm then17:23
vltCatzz: Can you describe the goal?17:23
mikubuntutomreyn: lost me .. lol17:24
Catzzvlt: the goal is to recover what that I can left and make a complete clean install17:24
tomreynmikubuntu: give me a minute17:24
mikubuntutomreyn: K17:24
vltCatzz: Why do you say "recover" instead of just "copy"? Is there a problem?17:25
Catzzvlt: I cannot boot into W10, after entering my password it takes about 20 minutes to display the main interface17:25
Catzzand even than it's just a black screen and a task bar17:26
vltCatzz: What is W10?17:26
tomreynmikubuntu: run this   gedit admin:///etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume    then place a "#" (without the quotation marks) in front of the "resume=..." line (there is probably no other line in there anyways)17:26
CatzzWindows 10 haha vlt, not very suitable for an ubuntu channel I know17:26
tomreynmikubuntu: so that it becomes "#resume=..."17:26
vltCatzz: Oh17:26
vltCatzz: So, what did you do, ehat did you expect to happen and what happened instead?17:27
vlt*what17:27
mikubuntutomreyn: k, gimme sec17:27
Catzzbut I got an idea, I will just boot to Ubuntu, and copy everything off of my HD to my external HD and than make a clean install vlt , at least that's the plan now17:27
Catzzvlt: it's a long story, I tried so many things, I wandered off the main problem too much17:28
=== dreamon__ is now known as dreamon
mikubuntutomreyn: installing gedit17:29
tomreynmikubuntu: oh i was thinking you already had it17:29
tomreynsud can alternatively use this:  sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume17:30
tomreyn*you17:30
tomreynCatzz: so now you need help with backing up the data from the existing HDD (the non m.2 non SSD storage)?17:31
tomreynor do you have a way forward alreadY?17:32
CatzzI think I am okay tomreyn, I will just use ubuntu to copy everything of an non SSD storage to my external HDD17:33
CatzzI think I will need help with completely reseting everything on my PC though once I copied everything17:33
Catzzbecause I don't want to have any booting issues and stuff I had17:33
Catzzjust a regular clean install haha17:33
mikubuntutomreyn: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/ZYcgvrNDbz/17:34
Catzzalso, should I boot ubuntu UEFI or Legacy mode17:34
Catzzsorry if that's a really basic question, I am just a total idiot for this17:34
tomreynCatzz: you'll need to boot in the mode you installed ubuntu in. that's an installation on the HDD you're booting, or from a stick?17:34
CatzzI am using Live USB tomreyn17:35
tomreynokay then it wont matter17:35
tomreyni'd prefer uefi17:35
Catzzmaybe if I installed ubuntu, I could have accessed the M.2 hmm17:35
tomreyni don't see how, but i also don't remember the details of why it was not available17:36
Catzzthat's okay, I just have to do a better job of maintaing my laptop once I regain control of it17:37
tomreynmikubuntu: please run and port the url:   ls -l /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ | nc termbin.com 999917:37
mikubuntutomreyn: what do you mean "port"?17:37
tomreynmikubuntu: *poSt, sorry17:37
mikubuntutomreyn: k17:38
tomreynCatzz: it doesn't seem like you did anything wrong so far. the m.2 is just bahaving weirdly, we lack details. i don't think you could have influenced this to the better or worse.17:39

tomreynleonardus: i haven't seen this message, but can make a guess: the screen locking software was upgraded, and the process needed to be killed, and the new screen lock application would have to be started at the ame time as the rest of the desktop (which is not possible now since that is already running)18:10
leonardusthat would make sense18:10
tomreynmikubuntu: so this is basically saying you won't be able to suspend to disk. which i guess you're aware of, and fine with.18:12
mikubuntutomreyn: unaware, and don't know what that means .. lol18:12
tomreynmikubuntu: at least the system is now aware that suspend to disk cannot work, it previously wasn't.18:12
tomreynmikubuntu: another term for "suspend to disk" is "hibernate". either way, you should be safe to reboot now.18:13

maria_sweBtw Is it a specific .iso for  installing ubuntu in to wmware fusion or I just need to download the latest ubuntu .iso from official site and install it in vmware fusion?18:45
OerHeksjust the iso, or download a ready vm18:45
maria_sweMannyLNJ:  not deadlly needed so I can just skip it for a while18:46

OerHekshttps://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/create-a-persistent-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive/18:46
MannyLNJYou don't install in Fusuin. You use Fusion or VirtualBox to run a virtual machine. I would use the Bootin app to make an Unbuuntu USB drive with persistance18:46
OerHekspretty automated18:46
maria_sweOerHeks: I want to boot it in wmware fusion so your link won't help fully18:47
MannyLNJOerHeks, I *think* the problem is maria_swe is trying to run the created USB drive as a virtual machine and I don't believe that VmWare Fusion for Mac supports that, If maria_swe installs Virtual Box for OSX it will work18:47
maria_swevmware fusion won't handle but Oracle Virtual Box does?18:48

maria_sweMannyLNJ:  let me read the link. thank you18:54
maria_sweMannyLNJ:  that link explains it for windows.18:56
MannyLNJmaria_swe, at the end it says The process is basically the same on Linux and Mac host systems. You’ll need to use the same sort of VBoxManage command to create a file representing the raw disk, but you’ll need to specify the path to the disk device on your Linux or Mac system.18:57
MannyLNJThe Open Foam wiki has some tips and workarounds that may help you adapt this process to Linux or Mac hosts. The Using a raw host hard disk from a guest section in VirtualBox’s official documentation may also help.18:57
OerHekswhy not a regular installed vm, dynamical18:57
OerHekspersistence is just the iso without updates, and a storage part.18:57
maria_sweMannyLNJ: You would easyly do thast part "VBoxManage command to create a file representing the raw disk" but not me :)18:58

lordcirth__maria_swe, I thought you wanted to boot a VM from the USB?19:08
maria_swelordcirth__:  yes I want to boot it in vmware fusion19:09
lordcirth__maria_swe, so tell vmware to boot the USB.19:09
MannyLNJlordcirth__, I don't think Vmware Fusion allows that19:09
shibbolethit can boot other installed OSes as a vm19:10
maria_swelordcirth__: so that was the major subject here. We thought the vmware fusion won't let you do thst19:10
OerHeksyou already found out that you can *create* a VM from a bootable USB drive, or use virtualbox19:10
shibbolethofc, that is a major PITA with windows because it will have diff hwid (activation)19:10

MannyLNJmaria_swe, you got it :-)\19:20
maria_swe18.04 LTS or 19.0419:20
maria_swe19.04 is the latest?19:20
MannyLNJI'm looking for a  good online backup provider for my Ubuntu systems. Suggestions please19:20
MannyLNJmaria_swe, go with the LTS in most cases19:21
maria_sweLTS means? stable version?19:21
grokelong term stable19:21
lordcirth__!lts19:21
ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Bionic (Bionic Beaver 18.04). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information.19:21
maria_sweI see.19:21
maria_sweso to not have trouble you recommend going with the LTS version19:21
lordcirth__MannyLNJ, #ubuntu-offtopic, perhaps19:21
maria_swelast question19:22
lordcirth__maria_swe, if you get 19.04, you will need to upgrade every 6 months.19:22
MannyLNJmaria_swe, Yes it has the longest support19:22
maria_swecan I update my ubuntu to 19.04 when ever I like?19:22
maria_swein deed! sorry for that :/ sorry for that guys... everyone...19:22
maria_swewill be quiet now...19:23
grokeyeah u can upgrade from 18.04 to 19.04 and so on19:24
maria_sweyou guys been so polite and helpful. thank you so much for each of yours time.19:24
grokeupgrading can be a risky business though, not always recommended19:25

EriC^^Myth: it's odd, it's almost as if it cant go to /mnt/286.....22:39
sappheirosdict is good enough i suppose.22:39
tomreynAlexPortable: what changed in the meantime?22:39
AlexPortabletomreyn yeah it did, then it didn't and then i added it back again22:39
tatertotzhe actually followed the instructions this time around22:39
tomreynAlexPortable: i see, glad you pointed this out, now that i asked.22:40
tatertotzbecause he was being hand held or guided22:40

tomreynAlexPortable: what does   brsaneconfig4 -p    report for "...% packaet loss"?22:41
EriC^^also please try "cd /mnt/28656C1A26D0DB7C"22:42
MythOk22:42
MythEriC^^, https://termbin.com/x42z22:42
EriC^^Myth: looks good22:43
MythI'll reboot then. Maybe that will help now that I've taken these steps22:44
MythEriC^^, ^22:44
EriC^^yeah try rebooting22:44
EriC^^did cd /mnt/28656C1A26D0DB7C work?22:44
MythThanks! brb with a report22:44
qwebirc95665hi, i try connect to an remote server via thightvnc. i installed on my server thightvncserver, tried sudo DISPLAY=:1 gnome-session, export DISPLAY=:1, sudo startx, gnome-session, etc. I am able to open apps like gnome-terminal, but not a fully gnome-session. i found the following files on the server:.xsession-errors https://pastebin.com/qqLb3c9u and the config file for tightvncserver https://pastebin.com/q8w1fnik22:44
MythEriC^^, ?22:44
EriC^^Myth: did you try "cd /mnt/28656C1A26D0DB7C" with any luck?22:44
MythEriC^^, Oh, yes. The terminal is there now22:45
EriC^^oh cool22:45
EriC^^try "touch blabla"22:45
MythEriC^^, Within terminal, cd to mnt/XYZ, the touch command does not work22:47
Mythtouch: cannot touch '/mnt/28656C1A26D0DB7C/blabla': No such file or directory22:47
EriC^^odd try rebooting t see if this weird spell will vanish22:47

MythEriC^^, I've returned. My 3TB NTFS HDD is mounted (it auto-mounts with with the DISKS application), but has a shaded Create Folder and Paste option, et al22:53
MythThis HDD has no system on it. Just media22:54
EriC^^Myth: maybe it has some kind of hardware read only protection?22:54
EriC^^some switch?22:55
tomreyni didnt follow, but did you ntfsfix, yet?22:55
MythEriC^^, That would be a new one to me. Been using this one without issue for nearly a year. Sandwiched between two SSDs, each with their own OS on them22:55
MythThey both access the HDD for music, documents, videos, images, and so on22:56
EriC^^oh ok, thought it was a hand held ext hdd type22:56
EriC^^try tomreyn 's suggestion of ntfsfix maybe the fs needs some fixing22:56
MythEriC^^, I should have specified. Sorry about that22:57
EriC^^tomreyn: to sum it up, the disk suddenly mounted read-only, nothing in dmesg, upon remounting rw, cd /mountpoint works, however oddly touch "something" says file not found22:57
EriC^^tomreyn: he basically can't write anything to it, but touch's output is intriguing though22:57
tomreynfile not found on touch sounds like a path typo22:58
EriC^^yup which is why i had him cd /mountpoint22:58
EriC^^then touch something after he confirmed he was within the dir, same output file not found22:58
EriC^^*shrug*22:59

tomreynhmm yes thats weird, EriC^^. but it makes me want to ntfsfix even more23:00
MythEriC^^, tomreyn Looking around in disks, seeing some interesting stuff. I'll post a screen23:00
MythEriC^^, tomreyn Here is DISKS with my sdb partition highlighted (that is my Ubuntu SSD): https://imgur.com/a/UvdjpyF23:03
MythHere is my sdc media HDD where I store media files only: https://imgur.com/a/6G2eR8h23:03
tomreynMyth: this isyour efi system partition, what about it?23:04
Mythtomreyn, I just noticed a bad sector was mentioned. Never noticed it before. Probably unrelated, but I am inexperienced23:05
MythThe second screen shows how the automount is setup in DISKS23:05
MythFor the nonOS drive23:05
tomreyni think this is 1 bad sector which then got relocated, but you should check this sometime using smartctl. but it's a different topic, i think, this does also not seem to be the storage which contains the ntfs file system you want to write to.23:06
tomreyn"second screen"?23:07
Mythtomreyn, Okay. Will do. The 3TB HDD is the NTFS drive in question, correct23:07
Mythtomreyn, The second image I linked23:07
tomreynoh i missed this link23:08
Mythhttps://imgur.com/a/6G2eR8h23:08
MythNo worries. It may be arbitrary23:08
EriC^^tomreyn: ntfsfix / smartctl time?23:09
tomreynMyth: did you do the ntfsfix, yet?23:09
Mythtomreyn, Negative23:09
tomreynMyth: do it now ;)23:09
MythOk23:09
EriC^^( sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1 )23:10
tomreynMyth: first unmount the file system23:10
EriC^^^23:10
tomreynMyth: sudo umount /mnt/2865*23:10
Mythtomreyn, Ah. I see23:11
Krennichmm23:11
tomreynMyth: then    sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1   (thanks EriC^^)23:11
Mythhttps://susepaste.org/view//849507723:12
Mythtomreyn, ^23:13
EriC^^looks good!23:13
EriC^^!cookie | tomreyn23:14
ubottutomreyn: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!23:14
MythEriC^^, I thought so too. I'm trying to comprehend the failure23:14
tomreynMyth: "FAILED" doesn't sound too good, i'm not sure what it means in this context.23:15
MythSays my file system was "unclean". Some Scarelet Letter stuff right there23:15
tomreynthe dirty bit had been set on the file system23:15
MythShould we try the touch command after cd to the mnt point?23:15
tomreyndo you have fast shutdown disabled in any windows installation you use this drive with?23:15
Mythtomreyn, Not to my knowledge. No hibernation, or smartboot either23:16
tomreynMyth: you need to have this option disabled, though, it's a non-default setting on windows 10 and i think 8, too, maybe 723:17
MythI have 10 on the other drive. I'll comb through it carefully23:17
EriC^^maybe a sudden poweroff caused it?23:17
tomreynactually it's called "fast startup"23:17
tomreynhttps://superuser.com/questions/1152001/shutdown-windows-10-truly-for-a-dual-booting-system23:17
EriC^^it sounds like it had some metadata it wanted to write, but never got the chance or something23:17
EriC^^oh nevermind, i get what you mean tomreyn23:18
MythEriC^^, I updated the machine last night via Ubuntu and then Windows 10, then I shut it down for the night23:18
Mythtomreyn, Yes, I'll check the BIOS too. Should be OFF23:18
MythBookmarking the link you provided too23:19
EriC^^Myth: if you shut it down then it would have done the fast-startup stuff, rebooting bypasses that23:19
MythEriC^^, I'll check Windows 10 advanced power options as well as the BIOS/UEFI23:19
EriC^^it's not in the bios, it should be somewhere in the settings in windows23:19
=== SuperL4g is now known as SuperLag
tomreynthe link i posted has screen shots of how to disable it in windows, should be doable23:20
MythEriC^^, Oh, I thought it had to be enabled in the BIOS as well23:20
EriC^^or maybe in the bios too, i dont know, but im sure there's a setting in windows for it, just very obscurely placed behind some 'advanced options line' iirc23:20
tomreynyes you also want it disable din bios.23:20
EriC^^i think usually the fast start up in the bios is more about what the BIOS checks and stuff before fully booting the OS stuff like that23:21
tomreynyes, it's unrelated to this fast sartup option in windows.23:21
MythAfter reviewing the link you provided, it does seem pretty obscurly placed in the gui23:22
MythMay be the issue then. I never had this issue in Windows 7 dual booting with Ubuntu or Mint23:22
tomreynsince there can never be another Os other than windows, that's fine, right?23:22
Mythtomreyn, Yes, I think so. I keep it quarantined like a virus on its own drive ;p23:23
tomreyni need some sleep, got sick, hope you can work it out, good luck!23:23
Mythtomreyn, Get well soon! Thanks23:23
MythEriC^^, Thanks!23:23
EriC^^Myth: no problem23:24

jackbakerAny one able to help out with configuring a USB HID gadget driver?  I'm stuck at the "Configuration" section because i don't understand exactly what i need to put where. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt23:30
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest77837
plongshotIs there an official ubuntu doc to install apache2 on an 18.04 server over ssh?23:36
plongshotThe article I23:36
yeatsplongshot: you may have gotten cut off - last seen "The article I"23:38
NMSK_Levshahi, if i`m using 2 terminals with root, how its history tracking?23:38
plongshotThe article I've found includes a step where and apache firewall profile is applied with ufw and you must selct between 3 options. I'm not sure the implications of each choice. Will all of them work out of the box without further configureation or does connecting via port 440 imply I have to set up apache to serve my site as https  or it wont work?23:38
plongshotsorry typo  :s23:39
plongshotI want to choose "Apache Secure" profile and only open port 440 but like I was saying I don't know what that imlies for serving the site later23:40
yeatsplongshot: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html is about as official as it probably gets as far as your original question goes23:40
yeatsplongshot: are you referring to https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-16-04 ?23:42
yeatsin that case it would be port 443 (standard HTTPS port) not 44023:42
usr13plongshot: It's best to just not have any services running or even installed, if you don't intend to use them.23:42
plongshotyeats: I'm at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-18-0423:43
yeatsah - probably mostly the same23:43
yeatsplongshot: what you would choose for the ufw profile there would depend on the nature of what you'd be serving with apache23:44
yeatsbut HTTPS only is probably a good idea generally23:44
plongshotStep 2. And I found a way to rephrase the question makes more senes...  " f I only connect through port 440 and keep 80 closed - does that imply I have to set my site up to use https and that http will not work? "23:44
yeatsplongshot: port 443, yes?23:45
plongshotyeats: It is being pushed as a standard23:45
plongshot443? or 440   I don't recall23:45
plongshotwhatever it says23:45
yeatsplongshot: 443 is standard HTTPS - not sure if 440 has a standard use23:46
plongshotmy mistake / typo23:46
yeatsplongshot: I've not used ufw in this exact situation, but yes, if you only allow 443 through the firewall, it will block HTTP altogether (if I understand what it's saying)23:47
yeatsplongshot: Apache Full would probably be a more common usage23:47
plongshotI think I see what's up. If I enable only 443 and keep 80 closed I will effectively be constraining the connection for only https service but no http.  So then I have to learn what it takes to serve a https site as opposed to just a http site.23:47
plongshotI see23:48
yeatsplongshot: you can use apache rewrite rules to force HTTPS if someone lands on port 8023:48
yeatslots of examples on the web23:48
plongshotyes23:48
plongshotJust that I know I've got my work cut out for me23:49
yeatsbut if you *block* port 80, they'd likely get a connection refused in the browser, which would be confusing to non-technical end users23:49
yeatsplongshot: the only way to learn :-)23:49
plongshotyeats: Do you know if it's possible to connect for the sake of a test using iip:port  syntax in the browser? Do a test that apaceh installs correctly even if there is no site yet?23:50
plongshotyes23:50
yeatssure, you can do that23:50
plongshotwould it look something like?    https://my-ip-address-at-server:443    ?23:51
plongshotis that right?23:51
plongshotAnd then I shoud see the apache2 welcome screen by default right?23:51
yeatsplongshot: in theory, yes :-)23:52
plongshotright on23:52
plongshotthx man23:52
yeatshappy to assist23:52
