[01:30] so this command works fine on mac but i get no audio output on ubuntu: mplayer -noconsolecontrols -nolirc -really-quiet -volume 8 ~/bin/sounds/app-26.mp3 > /dev/null 2>&1 & [01:31] tell it what sound driver to use? check alsamixer? [01:31] arooni: remove the redirection and backgrounding at the end so you can see any possible error messages [01:32] why are you redirecting to dev/null? your sound is going to dev/null [01:33] was trying to avoid the console text output [01:33] ArmOrAttAk: that is not true [01:34] isn't it? ok fine i may be wrong. that's what that command looks like to me [01:34] it says its playing; yet AO: [pulse] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) ; i dont seem to hear it [01:34] arooni: why are you choosing those parameters?

That volume is setting it to 8%. That's why you hear no sound [01:43] leftyfb: lol that would explain it! however i tried on a different mp3 file and got no audio output (with no args) [01:43] i have yet to restart [01:43] i need to do that; just in the middle of something [01:43] arooni: because you didn't turn the volume back up [01:43] | means pipe what does || means ? [01:43] arooni: you probably don't need to reboot [01:43] netameta: it means "OR" [01:44] leftyfb: so the volume setting is persistent? [01:44] arooni: yes [01:44] right you rae [01:44] are! [01:44] so | and || is completely unrelated [01:44] thanks !

[03:04] Mead: if the motd or anything else called on shell login relies on a external server that is timed out, you're going to have a bad time [03:05] mouses: I have custom motd [03:05] mallu: likely your issue - disable it for now and test with it disabled [03:05] mouses: I can see that motd then get the password prompt [03:05] motd comes after login/password [03:06] not before [03:06] a good test would be disabling whatever changes you made to motd [03:06] and testing with them all disabled [03:07] mouses: Disabled Banner /etc/issue.net restarted SSHD . Still same issue [03:08] mallu: have you made changes in /etc/update-motd.d ? [03:08] no I havent [03:09] mallu: confirm what files in /etc/update-motd.d are set +x ?

[03:20] This app worked a week ago .. I did an update today that may have broken things. How do I solve this? [03:21] (Yes, I tried creating the directory and making it 777 .. I still get the same error.) [03:22] mallu: got anywhere else to host that? my VPN eats that URL as suspicious [03:23] or give me a second to check the pihole :) [03:24] there we go, whitelisted said URL :) [03:24] mallu: so every single motd option is enabled [03:25] ok.. [03:25] mallu: for now, let's try: sudo chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/* [03:25] after that, try a ssh login again [03:25] if it still fails, do a sudo chmod +x /etc/update-motd.d/* to restore what we just changed [03:27] mouses: do I need to restart sshd ? [03:27] mallu: nope [03:27] same erro after sudo chmod -x /etc/update-motd.d/* [03:27] just making sure the changes you have made to default motd are not the issue [03:27] okay [03:28] so now we are getting somewhere [03:28] go ahead and do the +x if you like to set it back to how you had it [03:28] mallu: if you want, I can try to ssh in and see if I have similar issues [03:28] that would help remove your local client as a potential issue [03:29] same error after +x [03:29] right, +x was just setting it back to how you had it [03:29] as we needed to eliminate motd as the issue [03:29] mouses: server has private IP [03:30] if you want me to test remote; free free to adduser mouses and send me a login to try and delete me after trying [03:30] what do you mean 'server has private IP' [03:30] what SSH client are you using to try to SSH in? [03:30] not accessible from outside our network [03:30] ah [03:31] I'm connected to datacenter via VPN [03:31] doubt it's a VPN issue - as you get a prompt [03:32] maybe try it naked (open up your ssh port) [03:32] really hard to say much, could be a million things [03:32] what SSH client are you using from what OS? [03:32] it is not VPN issue. I am getting login prompt [03:32] here is what I see https://pasteboard.co/IfFnlIe.png [03:33] ya, that's what I said - doubt it's a VPN issue [03:33] does the user name you are logging in as have a valid shell/home set? [03:34] yes [03:34] It was working until last night [03:34] mouses: ^^ [03:34] what have you changed in the last 24 hours [03:35] setting up new server so I made quiet a bit changes last night [03:35] did you make a backup? [03:36] as you messed something up for sure [03:36] I did take a snapshot. I restored it to that snapshot but still getting the same error [03:36] weird [03:37] I wish I could help more, I'd be happy to test it but that would involve you exposing the port to outside of the VPN [03:37] did you touch /etc/default/motd-news ? [03:37] still pretty sure you goofed something in motf [03:38] motd* [03:38] there could also be something wrong in the remote users' dot files [03:39] oh, that's also possible! [03:39] mouses: no I didn't touch /etc/default/motd-news [03:39] Put Mac n Cheese in my USB Port [03:39] mallu: let's test something [03:39] mallu: sudo adduser [03:40] without the <> of course [03:40] set a password [03:40] and try to login as that user, leave everything as default [03:40] ok.. let me try that [03:40] mallu: that will help us eliminate user dotfiles as a potential issue :) [03:41] ok [03:46] mallu: any luck? is new user account working? [03:48] mouses: keep getting Permission denied, please try again. [03:49] let me check sshd_config [03:49] did you do a bunch of editing to sshd_config or something? [03:50] also where are you getting 'permision denied, please try again; [03:50] you can just sudo apt install pastebin [03:50] and pipe output of anything | pastebinit [03:50] errr, sudo apt install pastebinit [03:50] would be more useful than screengrabs [03:50] getting that error when entering the password [03:51] so wrong password [03:51] sudo su - [03:51] and then as that user, passwd [03:51] and set a password and this time note it/remember it [03:55] mouses: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rgtY3C64vj/ [03:56] so you set up some custom sssh filtering re: 'allowed users' [03:56] and that user is not a member of said group [03:57] looks like we have narrowed the problem down at least - something you did to the sshd configuration is very unhappy [03:59] mallu: at this point my best advice is to restore sshd to default configuration, and when changing it's config - one thing at a time, save, test, then change one more thing, etc. [03:59] mouses: I removed allowedusers in sshd_config. Now it I'm able to ssh but getting the same error.. no shell [04:00] mallu: best bet I have at this point is to restore sshd to default configuration [04:00] what SSH client are you using to connect? [04:00] using macOS [04:01] that's an OS, not a client [04:01] mouses: whatever the console client in macos [04:02] yeah - see no reason why you are having this issue. My next step would be to restore sshd settings to default [04:02] and see if the issue still persists [04:02] random question: were you following some random blog/guide to set things up and copy/pasting commands? [04:03] mouses: following CIS hardening doc [04:03] something you did there broke things [04:03] the good thing is the server is really hardened :) [04:03] yeah, to the point where you can't even login [04:03] :P [04:04] personally; i'd just nuke the OS from orbit and start over and this time take it a lot more slow and don't just follow random online guides [04:05] yeah, thats what I am going to do [04:05] thank you mouses [04:05] wish I could be of more help - but this could be so many things :( [04:05] really appreciated your help [04:05] I made so many changes.. 600 pages worth changes [04:05] yeah :( [04:06] is this just a vanity server? [04:06] or something super mission critical? [04:06] the client wants CIS level 2 [04:06] personally all I do on my ubuntu servers to harden them is - disable password login (ssh keys only), disable root login via remote (make users sudo up), fail2ban installed [04:07] ahhhhh [04:07] good luck, that's outside of my scope of knowledge :( [04:07] thanks again mouses [04:07] no problem, best of luck on the reinstall! === Minecraft is now known as Guest96793 [04:49] so i just installed ubuntu and it wont let me highlight files or copy paste files into folders [05:17] t [05:17] Hello [05:18] welcome mez [05:37] is it possible to have both libav and ffmpeg installed at the same time on ubuntu?

I would like to do someting like : $ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/24 to any app OpenSSH except I want to midify it to also only accept port 22 and ssh protocol only (not outside of that).

[06:43] ap4lmtree: it's always the first component of the name. "disco" for current. "eoan" for the next. [06:44] but eh, the fact that you have to ask this tells me you shouldn't be touching sources.list at all :) [06:51] how do i boot into grub [06:55] gambl0re: press and hold left SHIFT key when the computer goes through bios POST and until you get to the menu [06:56] ok if i change the kernel in grub its only temporary as far as i know. i have to change the grub file to make the change permanent? [06:58] gambl0re: yes. /etc/default/grub and then run `update-grub` to actually configure it, from this config file. [06:58] anything you do in the menu is effective for that boot session only. [07:33] hi [07:33] how can I check if CANbus is enabled on my computer? [07:35] is there a better than pulseaudio [07:35] ap4lmtree: "better" in what way? [07:35] less troubleshooting and bugs [07:36] ap4lmtree: what bugs are you perceiving? [07:37] im trying to help troubleshoot someone's issues withnot being able to connect to pulseaudio for one [07:40] ap4lmtree: you'll have to give more detail about the issues. "better" is relative term. PulseAudio is no longer as buggy as it used to be many, many years ago, and only the myth remains. The only alternative is you go ALSA directly, which is not supported in Ubuntu (you'd have to break a lot oof things and recompile a lot of packages). [07:40] but know that ALSA is not bug-free at all, that's the reason Pulse was invented to begin with. [07:51] Hello. Would installing the nVidia 490 proprietary drivers have anything to do with losing my Display out to HDMI sound device in audio settings? (I know it has worked previously but just not sure when I lost it) [07:52] Hey lotuspsychje [07:53] Tankburn: it's possible. You can always revert to the earlier driver and test that theory.

Eg. `cat /boot/config-$(uname -r)` [07:58] thanks blackflow [08:00] blackflow: CANbus is enabled right? https://pastebin.com/urTWSxT8 [08:02] SleepyTurtle: yup: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/CAN.html [08:02] SleepyTurtle: but that doesn't answer your initial question, on how to know if it's "enabled" [08:03] this only means the kernel is built with the supporting modules. [08:03] how can I check then? [08:03] or maybe I misunderstood your meaning of "enabled". You can also check dmesg to see if the module is loaded which'd mean it detected the bus [08:04] blackflow: [08:04] [ 2275.688077] CAN device driver interface [08:04] [ 2279.533492] sja1000 CAN netdevice driver [08:04] this is dmesg [08:04] I'm having trouble setting up CAN [08:05] I get the "Cannot find device "can0"" message [08:05] hello, im trying to run 18.04 on an atomic pi and i cant get the audio working and im just lost right now [08:05] SleepyTurtle: looks like the sja1000 device is detected and module is loaded. also check that the module appears in the output of `lsmod` [08:06] sja1000 20480 1 peak_pci [08:06] can_dev 28672 3 sja1000,esd_usb2,peak_usb === steven- is now known as steven [08:06] this is the output of lsmod | grep sja1000 [08:06] SleepyTurtle: I don't know much about that bus. Is it possible the device wouldn't be "canX"? but something else? [08:07] SleepyTurtle: what's the output of `lspci -k` and `lsusb` please use a !pastebin [08:07] blackflow: I don't know, how can I check the name?

One thing btw. The kernel appears to think it's a network device? But the product page you posted doesn't suggest so. [08:15] blackflow: it's internally connected via usb but it's a canbus device [08:16] SleepyTurtle: is the network device something you plug into that? [08:16] dmesg shows the driver loaded ~4 seconds after the bus driver [08:16] I don't think so, what I plug into that is a canbus wire [08:17] SleepyTurtle: sorry, I don't know how to help you more then. [08:17] that goes to the bus where 2 other devices are also connected [08:17] blackflow: no worries, thanks a lot for your time [08:17] blackflow: I really appreciate it [08:17] you're welcome.

[09:06] its a intel atom device [09:07] i just wiped the crappy os it had preinstalled and put lubuntu 19.04 on it and its perfect now [09:07] exo-squad: got sound working now? [09:07] yeap [09:07] exo-squad: what was wrong? [09:07] pulse audio server kept disconnecting, and then there was no way to make it output over hdmi [09:08] but a nice fresh install of a newer version fixed it [09:08] exo-squad: wich ubuntu version had the audio issue?

[09:10] lotuspsychje, i just wiped it, and installed 19.04 [09:10] exo-squad: i mean you had sound issues on 18.04, so was your system fully up to date there? [09:11] i did the apt-get update and upgrade stuff [09:11] kk [09:11] but i think it was kind of custom from the maker of it [09:12] 19.04 lubuntu is crazy faster. no weird video issues, no audio problems [09:12] exo-squad: maybe kernel 5+ fixes alot of things on your device [09:12] exo-squad: next time you could consider making a new !bug or affect to an existing [09:13] lotuspsychje, im not very good with linux... jim using to the sbc computers... [09:13] like the rasperry pi and stuff like that. [09:13] exo-squad: oh well its solved now..

For example, "updatedb command not found" and also there is no /var/log/syslog file [09:47] I think it's called bluez inad922 [09:49] Nah, bluez is the name of the package. I would like to use bluetoothctl from it. Seems like some other systemd service is messing around and I have a hard time adding my keyboard with it. Also I'm not using the default desktop environment. [09:50] inad922: did you grep the output of systemctl list-units for anything bluetooth related? I can't offer a name myself, I don't bluetooth. [09:51] inad922: bluetoothctl should work without installing any packages at least on 18.04 [09:51] inad922: also provide us details of your ubuntu install? did you use minimal or so? [09:52] lotuspsychje, I'm on 18.04 [09:53] blackflow, Yep, I have these services: [09:53] sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:14.0-usb1-1\x2d9-1\x2d9:1.0-bluetooth-hci0-hci0:256.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:256 [09:53] sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:14.0-usb1-1\x2d9-1\x2d9:1.0-bluetooth-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/bluetooth/hci0 [09:53] sys-subsystem-bluetooth-devices-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0 [09:53] sys-subsystem-bluetooth-devices-hci0:256.device loaded active plugged /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0:256 [09:53] bluetooth.service loaded active running Bluetooth service [09:54] !pastebin | inad922 [09:54] inad922: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[11:19] hello [11:20] i have a problem with release upgrade from 14 to 16 [11:20] it hangs everytime at Unpacking grub-common_202 [11:20] lotuspsychje, https://paste2.org/GIB9hdEc [11:22] Quick question: There's a way to have apt-get prompt you with the notices that come with updates but I can't seem to find how to enable that. Any ideas? (Think the notes to updates in the update program and it's the same, just in terminal.) === Nectar___ is now known as Ozzi [11:22] piraye: try a sudo apt autoremove and you also have external ppa's added i see, its reccomended to use only packages from the official ubuntu repos === Ozzi is now known as Ozi [11:23] snap1: this is the ubuntu support channel, we usually take care of ubuntu related problems is your mpv problem related? [11:25] felsokning: you want to get notified when updates come out, thats it? [11:26] DJ-ArcAngel: is it possible to pastebin the errors you getting from your upgrade?
