[00:01] monty_hall: sorry, I think I misunderstood. NFS4 is in Ubuntu 18.04 [00:01] hi guys drwxrwsr-x what chmod is that? is it 777 or 755? [00:02] or none [00:03] 775 is rwxrwxr-x [00:06] icrbaako: the "s" in your example would be setting a bit in the first digit of 0775... [00:07] see http://permissions-calculator.org/ === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [00:07] I think yours would be 2775 [00:11] gbellinoz: thanks [00:11] It always throws me that the 's' takes the place of the 'x', but it makes sense, because it means WHEN the file gets executed by the user or group, then it will take on their id. So 's' is inclusive of the x permission. [00:12] try this: [00:12] touch bs [00:12] chmod 277 bs [00:12] ls -l bs [00:12] that'll show you that you're matching. [00:12] wait. [00:14] meant chmod 2775 bs [00:26] so apt is giving me a warning when using it in a script [00:26] can i disable it? [00:26] in my script?

I was able to change my terminal colours in setting just fine but thunar remains a blinding bright white. I read that this can be changed through gtk 2.0 css or through gtkrc but am not having any luck. and am not able to [05:08] change the theme through gnome-tweaks or ubuntu settings.

The problem is, I don't know how to tell firefox to do that [08:42] can't get it :D [08:42] hi [08:42] When I select "open with" > "Other..." the list says "no application for application/octet-stream" [08:43] ubottu: sorry my monday syndrom, never posting without prefix normally and on irc since 15 years :D [08:43] tuxinator: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:43] I would like to be able to give firefox the path to my script and tell it to open all files with the extension .foo with my script [08:44] how do I do that? it looks like it is an ubuntu-specific problem [08:45] any idea for my umount issue? fuser -mk /dev/sda4 does not mention anything and umount /home worked [08:45] at least reddit says that https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/4jb9eb/how_to_choose_how_firefox_should_open_already/ [08:46] tuxinator: grep the output of `mount` for any additional (bind) mounts to that device [08:46] chmd: firefox is a browser. how did you "write a script" in it? You can save whole (html) pages (and their dependencies) from FF, and that's all you can do. [08:47] Hey all. Sporting a 19.04. Is there any alternative to the systemd-resolver? It seems to lock up after a few hours on my laptop. Reconnecting to the WiFi seems to help. [08:47] but if that was a text you edited in a form somewhere and then saved the page? that text is not saved. [08:47] blackflow: i have a bind mount which is also unmounted [08:47] is it possible to expand disk size in ubuntu/VM if full from main laptop automatically if needed? [08:48] blackflow: result https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CF2CvkcHBq/ [08:48] tuxinator: something is still touching that partition the. check with `lsof` if anything is still holding open file descriptors on filesystems you unmounted. though, you wouldn't be able to umount if so, unless with -l [08:48] qwebirc62052: That would depend on the hypervisor and the disk image format being used. Some allow run-time resizing. [08:48] blackflow: I wrote a shell script to handle ".foo" files. I did *not* write it _in_ firefox, it is an entirely independent piece of code that I installed in ~/.local/bin. I want to tell firefox to open files .foo with this script [08:48] tuxinator: then again, you mention fuser? is this a FUSE fs? that could change some things then [08:49] blackflow: i tried fuser and lsof [08:49] blackflow: no it is not a fuse fs [08:49] blackflow: the same way you can tell firefox to open .pdf files with evince, for example [08:49] Lachezar virtualbow allows that? Also problem seems to be IO read write issue, VM seems cannot handle it, but main laptop has 2core 8ram, how it cannot handle? [08:50] man fuser [08:50] blackflow: fuser has not at all something to do with fuse [08:50] chmd: You could open a .foo file and tell firefox to remember your choice. [08:50] blackflow: https://linux.die.net/man/1/fuser [08:51] tuxinator: ah yeah, fuser is like lsof... I confuzzled. [08:51] is there a "man" bot in this channel? [08:51] qwebirc62052: VirtualBox IIRC has a format that can be extended on-the-fly. [08:51] Lachezar: how? firefox does not let me do that [08:51] blackflow: no problem, always tricky in the "big command world" [08:51] chmd: Really? [08:52] chmd: Does the file have proper Content-Type header from the server? [08:52] Lachezar: 10:42 < chmd> When I select "open with" > "Other..." the list says "no application for application/octet-stream" [08:52] chmd: If it's .foo, but "text/plain" or "text/html" it's not going to open those with an external program. [08:52] Lachezar you have link to download? I had a version of Virtualbox but in ubuntu installing i didnt see that option. Also, how to check the ulimit of the VM? [08:52] Ok, can't boot. I am running Ubuntu mate 18.10 on an Acer an515-42, using Ubuntu's built in encryption. I am getting initramfs on boot on all installed kernels, running fsck against /Dev/sda* doesn't seem to do anything. Also the system has to have the grub settings edited to work around Acer's UEFI using the parameters of " acpi=noirq pci=noacpi ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2 ". Booting from a live USB my drive can [08:52] be decrypted and the files check out, but I can't find the grub.cfg file where it should be so I don't have to manually re-enter the work around post kernel update that has me stuck here. [08:53] hi [08:53] how do I control CPU fan speed? [08:53] chmd: Make the server return something like x-application/foo-extension [08:54] annoyed: "biult-in"? You mean you checked the encryption checkbox when you installed it? So that's LUKS encrypted root fs? With separate /boot ? [08:54] qwebirc62052: Nope. Create a new VM and check the options for the disk type. [08:54] Blackflow yes [08:55] neure: in your bios you can control your fan speeds [08:55] Lachezar ok and what disk type I choose? Also do you know how to check the ulimit of the VM? [08:56] qwebirc62052: ulimit is per user, check "ulimit -a" [08:56] annoyed: and the "initramfs on boot with all installed kernels" -- are you referring to the grub menu? [08:57] Lachezar ok I write ulimit -a in the terminal? [08:57] annoyed: can you try to F1 textboot, see where it bottlenecks? [09:00] blackflow, thank you! these links are what i needed regarding the key id :-) [09:00] qwebirc62052: For the disk type: check this one https://superuser.com/questions/360517 [09:02] Lachezar I did ulimit -a, many things appear where do i look? [09:02] mcm_: you're welcome. [09:02] blackflow: now booting without /home in fstab at all, so if that doesn't work, it's really a monday issue :D [09:03] Lachezar: I solved this by creating .local/share/applications/foo-opener.desktop with the right MimeType=... line [09:03] tuxinator: there's also another thing. you wanted to fsck the GPT partition, but....is there a layer between the filesystem and the partition? LVM? Encryption? [09:03] now firefox lets me choose my script [09:04] Blackflow Yes, I have to hit e at the grub menu to manually re-enter the UEFI work around post reboot after a kernel update. see this for more detail https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/comment/619839/#Comment_619839 [09:05] lotuspsychje, I want an app for that instead [09:05] not very handy to go to bios every time I want to make an adjustment [09:05] annoyed: ah, sorry, I don't know much about EFI and problems specific to it. [09:06] neure: there's a snap for that now, you might need to config it first: snap find fancon [09:07] annoyed: can't you edit /etc/default/grub then make the changes and do sudo update-grub [09:08] Lachezar I read that but still dont see which disk type is better? [09:10] Lotuspsyche Blackflow https://i.imgur.com/XKGoJtH.jpg Jeremy31 no, when I boot to live USB there is nothing there [09:11] annoyed: seems like you have issues with arrays ontop [09:13] Lotuspsyche Blackflow Jeremy31 but the grub.cfg file must exist, it appears as it should, sans UEFI work around from the grub menu. More pics coming [09:15] annoyed: you might wanna compare some steps from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/567730/gave-up-waiting-for-root-device-ubuntu-vg-root-doesnt-exist [09:15] I've upgraded to 19.04 and notice that I cannot remove the menubar in gnome-terminal [09:15] What can I do? === alive_ is now known as alive [09:17] alive: do you have the option in menu to remove it? === hello is now known as homma [09:17] No, it is gone [09:17] If I go to preferences->general it's also gone from there [09:18] alive: do you have other menu items/categorys? [09:18] alive: what about right click in terminal? [09:19] OK, in the right click I get "show menubar". The alt-menu shows if I enable it. But there's window decorations anyway on the terminal (didn't have those on 18.10) [09:19] annoyed: you can't fsck LUKS containers. the probem you're having is that initramfs doesn't apparently autodetect that it has to unlock anything --- or does it? Did it ask the encryption passphrase? [09:19] In 18.10, "show menubar" also removed windows decorations [09:20] annoyed: unless it's something EFI specific (of which I have no idea how to help you), your problem sounds familiar. I think newer initramfs has dropped automated support for cryptsetup, so you'd have to install them manually. Not sure what the installer does, tho'. [09:21] alive: 18.10 will soonish go end of life, maybe think of your next step? [09:22] Well I've already switched to 19.04 :P [09:22] Anyway, I'll give terminator a go. Loved the gnome-terminal so far. [09:22] I have 160gb in apps/games section, but i cannot find which apps are to heavy to unistall? what can I do to find this apps?

Version 3.28.0-1 (bionic), package size 163 kB, installed size 904 kB [09:23] blackflow: i wanted to fschk before converting filesystem to btrfs and now i just found out that for 18.04 btrfs-convert is broken, so i can forget the whole action :D [09:24] blackflow: so the issue is postponed :D [09:25] ubottu i meant in windows where i have the VM with ubuntu, what to give more GB to ubuntu [09:25] qwebirc62052: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:25] tuxinator: btrfs is broken, period. [09:25] qwebirc62052: windows questions goto ##windows please [09:26] well it's not a windows question really [09:26] is there a different channel for Ubuntu Server? [09:26] qwebirc62052: I wouldn't go below 20GB disk space, nor below 4GB RAM, if you want to use the GNOME desktop [09:26] aneon: #ubuntu-server, yes [09:26] thanks [09:27] how to increase the ulimit -n fromt ther terminal? [09:27] Blackflow Jeremy31 lotuspsyche https://youtu.be/Nc0lALwvOoI [09:28] Sorry, I got disconnected for about 5 [09:28] please, how to increase the ulimit -n fromt ther terminal? from 1024 to 2048 [09:29] qwebirc62052: you mean inside the Ubuntu VM? [09:29] ulimit -f [09:29] blackflow yes [09:30] annoyed-phone: looks like initramfs has no idea it has to unlock the rootfs. It never asked for passphrase? [09:31] Blackflow no, it has not, the video is the complete boot with quiet splash disabled and with the UEFI hack running, that's as far as it gets on all installed kernels [09:35] Hi! Does anyone know a tabbed terminal manager that also can save server address? I know GCM, but looking for alternatives [09:38] annoyed-phone: not sure how to help you there then. Sounds as if the installer did not set up the initramfs properly. Again, unless this is something specific to EFI, the course of action I'd take is go back to the Live env, unlock and mount the rootfs and inspect the grub and initramfs setup. methinks it has something to do with recent initramfs not auto-installing cryptsetup support [09:38] just noticed how snappy gnome is now [09:38] ahve you guys noticed that? [09:38] have you* [09:38] annoyed-phone: like this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2410356 [09:38] what caused this transformation? [09:38] varaindemian: #ubuntu-discuss please [09:38] well it is a snap now. badum-tss! [09:39] qwebirc62052: Fiddling with limits shoul donly be done if you know what you're doing. That said: man limits.conf [09:39] qwebirc62052: That response seems to name VMDK as the more robust variant. [09:41] chmd: Nice. Does it mean, that you changed mime-type for the .foo files? Are you opening those files locally? From file:/// URIs? [09:41] anyone in here using httpie? [09:43] Kingsy: we try to focus on ubuntu related issues, are you having issues regarding ubuntu? [09:44] *repeat** Is there any alternative to the systemd-resolver? It seems to lock up after a few hours on my laptop. Reconnecting to the WiFi seems to help. [09:44] Lachezar, a server is a computer in a physical center that you can rent and access via cloud with your laptop wih ssh? [09:44] Hey there. [09:44] Lachezar: I use Bind, there's also Ubnound and the dnsmasq that was used by default before resoved [09:44] *Unbound [09:45] Does anybody know how to save Ubuntu's settings onto a live USB? I know there is a method to make the live USB persistent storage, however I want to do that after the fact with the live USB already running. Is it possible? [09:45] blackflow: Yeah, dnsmasq worked great, I don't know if I can use it now that systemd-resolver is in place. [09:46] ? [09:46] !patience | Utnubu15 [09:46] Utnubu15: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [09:46] Sowie. [09:47] you guys should try cloudflare's new DoH, it is amazing [09:47] !ot | aneon [09:47] aneon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:47] blackflow: I'm worried, that with the obnoxious-level coherence of the systemd installing anything that is an alternative to any part of it would break my system. [09:48] Lachezar: sure you can. I disable resolved and use Bind. you just have to install dnsmasq and then set up /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf dns= setting to dnsmasq. The manpage has more info. [09:48] blackflow: Hm. Does dnsmasq require bind? [09:48] Lachezar: in this case, systemd is not pushing it, Ubuntu is. you can run systemd process manager and init, with no resolved, just fine. [09:48] Lachezar: it doesn't, dnsmasq is standalone resolver [09:49] systemd-resolved is NOT though, it's a stub resolver. it requires a recursive (caching) resolver elsewhere. [09:51] * Lachezar is Restarting WiFi to see if DnsMasq works. [09:51] I suggested DoH (DNS over HTTPS) in context of dnsmasq & other stuff people discussed earlier [09:52] blackflow: Seems Network Manager keeps resolving via systemd-resolver [09:52] blackflow: Any pointer where to fix that? [09:52] aneon: via CloudFlare? no thanks. [09:53] why trigger a bot over simple comment [09:53] aneon: this is not a chat, we keep things seperated for discussions [09:54] Lachezar: you have to disable resolved. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/304050/how-to-avoid-conflicts-between-dnsmasq-and-systemd-resolved [09:55] Lachezar: if the extension you want to open is .foo, just associate the mime type application/x-foo to your program [09:55] Lachezar: personally, I configure NM for dns=none, and then "mask" (as just "disable" won't work) the systemd-resolved.service (and stop it of course), and then I set a static file for /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 127.0.0.1 . That way I have complete contorl. [09:57] blackflow: I need to have the DNS use different local suffix in different networks. [09:58] blackflow: ... provided by NetworkManager [09:59] Lachezar: the NM's dns= setting in NetworkManager.conf defines which DNS service is used and configured via resolv.conf. You have to disable (actually mask it) systemd-resolved so that dnsmasq can take over port 53 on localhost. [09:59] Lachezar: btw, good luck, I have to leave the office now, bbl. [10:01] lotuspsychje: ah sorry. No worries. No nothing specific [10:05] So I just aquired a proper gaming desktop PC. Of course I will run some flavors of linux on it. But I also need Windows to play games without linux/steamOS support. There is a Windows 10 install on it. But it's not activated. There is also no licence on the pc according to the seller. Now I also have a laptop with a broken screen I was gifted by a friend. I took the screen of and slabbed linux mint on there and put it by me tv [10:07] On the laptop is Windows 10 with licence. I am confident my friend didn't reuse the windows key or something. He is not a tech dude and he has forgotten the password. So I can't get in. Is it possible to exctract the key from the laptop and use it to activate the Windows on the new Desktop PC? [10:07] GamerGirl2770: hows this related to ubuntu? [10:08] I need to get the key from the laptop through ubuntu (mint)? [10:08] !mint | GamerGirl2770 [10:08] GamerGirl2770: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [10:09] There's a forgotten password button if he used a MS account (which is the low-tech, default, behavior) [10:09] I am aware it's a different distro but very much based on Ubuntu. Also last time I got very nice help here. So I hoped people here could help me. [10:10] No MS account I think. I set it up when he got it. [10:10] GamerGirl2770: be warned that if the laptop has a windows oem license, then you are not allowed to use it on other hardware [10:11] legit (legal) oem licenses = 2-5$ on ebay. [10:11] * Lachezar sees no light in the tunnel. DNSMASQ only works with systemd-resolved enabled !??! [10:13] I need a 1u rack wth ubuntu for a data center, which 1u rack you recommend? [10:13] Yeah but I like not to buy it as I am very cheap. It would take me about 10 minutes at work to make 5 bucks. I still prefer to spend hours moving the licence from the laptop to the desktop. [10:14] What if I connect some hardware from the laptop inside the desktop so it's still the same system in a way? [10:14] GamerGirl2770: this si really not the scope of this channel, see support in the channel that supports it [10:15] What channel could I use? I didn't find a #windows channel? [10:15] GamerGirl2770: there is ##windows ##hardware #mint on spotnet [10:16] * Lachezar succeed! [10:16] blackflow: Thanks. [10:17] mmmmm [10:17] GamerGirl2770: alternate if you install ubuntu on your pc, we can offer you support [10:18] I have ubuntu on the pc. [10:18] GamerGirl2770: mint is not ubuntu, its a derivative based on ubuntu [10:18] No I have mint on the laptop. I have Ubuntu on the desktop. \ [10:19] hello, what should I do about 'Additional Drivers' showing 'No additional drivers available' instead of showing proprietary ones? [10:19] GamerGirl2770: but your original question is not about your ubuntu desktop is it? [10:19] pax_rhos: wich driver are you looking for? [10:19] No. [10:20] 'Software & Updates' > 'Ubuntu Software' > 'Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)' is checked [10:20] lotuspsychje: nvidia [10:20] I see I have nvidia 340 installed [10:20] pax_rhos: wich chipset do you have please [10:20] lotuspsychje: please, remind me the command to check that [10:20] pax_rhos: sudo lshw -C video [10:21] product: RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 PRO] [10:21] WUT [10:21] what the... [10:22] get rid of the nvidia driver,yes? [10:23] TIL my GPU is not nvidia [10:23] pax_rhos: Dual GPU? [10:25] well, intel built-in + looks like it is really an AMD [10:27] Howdy folks [10:28] BluesKaj, hey [10:28] hey coz_ [10:28] ") [10:35] Hello [10:35] hello [10:57] hi how to change the ulimit -n in ubutun terminal to 2048? [11:02] qwebirc why do you need that? [11:03] What is meant by "Enablement Kernel" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/MDS ? [11:04] It that the kernel version from which on the mitigations are enabled by default? And the mitigations are available starting from "Base Kernel"? [11:04] *Is [11:04] Yes tinloaf your understanding is correct. [11:05] However, you may need more than just the kernel upgrade to be fully mitigated. [11:05] Thanks. How do I enable the mitigations on my 16.04 LTS, which is still on linux-image-4.15.0-50-generic 4.15.0-50.54? [11:05] I know… I already have the updated microcode, and I'm thinking about Hyperthreading… [11:05] To check your system, read the contents of the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds file. You must apply kernel updates and reboot if the file does not exist as that indicates that your kernel does not have mitigations in place for MDS. [11:05]
