[00:01] <Soni> leftyfb: idek what thos are
[00:04] <leftyfb> Soni: then my quick answer is, if you're not willing to look it up and learn, then you shouldn't be running a web server. That said ...
[00:04] <leftyfb> Soni: drwxr-x---  2 www-data  www-data        4.0K Jun  5 00:03 lighttpd
[00:04] <Soni> leftyfb: I can't even find that stuff anywhere and idk where you're finding it
[00:04] <leftyfb> Soni: I spun up a container and installed lightttpd and looked in /var/log
[00:04] <Soni> leftyfb: that's awful
[00:05] <leftyfb> Soni: awful?
[00:06] <Soni> yes
[00:06] <Soni> there's no easy way to check the stuff = that's awful
[00:06] <leftyfb> Soni: there are other ways. This was the quickest for me
[00:09] <sarnold> Soni: https://sources.debian.org/src/lighttpd/1.4.53-4/debian/lighttpd.init/
[00:11] <Soni> ugh, okay, I see what's going on
[00:12] <leftyfb> Soni: you really need to provide details/context.
[00:12] <Soni> leftyfb: certbot is a piece of crap that eats filesystem permissions
[00:12] <Soni> and nobody should use it
[00:13] <leftyfb> Soni: nope
[00:13] <leftyfb> Soni: certbot works just fine. I have it running on multiple Ubuntu servers
[00:13] <Soni> leftyfb: I am 99.9999% sure it was certbot that fucked my /var/log
[00:14] <leftyfb> Soni: you were also sure you didn't need the log directory like the error log told you, that you didn't believe
[00:14] <leftyfb> Soni: also, please watch the language
[00:14] <sarnold> hm. why did certbot run with enough privileges to change the directory owner?
[00:14] <Soni> sarnold: because it does that
[00:14] <Soni> I followed the official guide
[00:15] <Soni> yes I realize the official guides often include "curl | sh" at some point
[00:18] <Soni> anyway it was probably because I hit ^C on the certbot expand certificate screen
[00:19] <hexhaxtron> Hi! I did add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly and then apt-get update but when I do apt-get install kodi-game* nothing is installed... However those packages exist. What's should I do?
[00:19] <hexhaxtron> *What
[00:19] <sarnold> without looking, I'm going to guess it's the *
[00:19] <leftyfb> hexhaxtron: what version of ubuntu?
[00:20] <hexhaxtron> leftyfb, Ubuntu Disco
[00:21] <leftyfb> hexhaxtron: does this return anything? apt-cache search kodi-game
[00:22] <hexhaxtron> leftyfb, no, nothing.
[00:23] <leftyfb> hexhaxtron: doesn't sound like the repo has been added. Or you're not running Ubuntu 19.04 proper
[00:23] <hexhaxtron> leftyfb, apt-get update shows: Hit:5 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly/ubuntu disco InRelease
[00:24] <Soni> so, using ^C to cancel out of certbot causes it to eat /var/log, I think
[00:24] <Soni> I don't wanna try that again because it was a pain to fix
[00:24] <Soni> yeah sure I know what I need to do to fix it now, but still. I just spent 2 hours fixing it :/
[00:25] <sarnold> hexhaxtron: here's the packages i see in that ppa for disco http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Bzcm434sx7/
[00:26] <Soni> how do I make sshd and PAM stop logging failed logins?
[00:46] <WhatTheDilly> maybe address the problem of there being a lotof failed login attempts instead? :p
[00:50] <conr> if i hard code DNS addresses in the IPv6 tab of a Connection Manager profile, what does Automatic ON/OFF do?
[00:51] <leftyfb> Soni: you should not stop logging. You should lock down your public server. Change the ssh port, use key auth only and use fail2ban
[01:21] <TJ-> Soni: but SSH behind/inside a VPN
[01:38] <vaejovis> Hey how's it going? I just installed ubuntu 19.04. I have a lenovo thinkpad l390 yoga. my right click will not function even after using gnome-tweaks and gnome-tweak-tools
[01:46] <OerHeks>  vaejovis sounds like your fix https://askubuntu.com/a/1147004
[01:48] <vaejovis> thank you very much
[01:48] <vaejovis> I will try that
[01:53] <vaejovis> yep that definitely worked
[01:53] <vaejovis> thanks again
[01:53] <OerHeks> vaejovis, have fun!
[01:53] <vaejovis> I haven't used linux in like 8 years or so
[01:54] <vaejovis> I can't believe my touch screen worked on a fresh install
[01:54] <brendantcc> such surprisement
[01:55] <OerHeks> yes, ubuntu starts getting boring ..
[01:55] <OerHeks> :-D
[01:55] <Kyoku> And I can't believe my disk password gets bypassed somehow.  It's really freaking me out.
[01:55] <Kyoku> luksDump shows only one slot, the one that's supposed to be there
[01:55] <OerHeks> Kyoku, i read that in #Kubuntu too
[01:57] <OerHeks> if you can repeat this behaviour, surely worth a bugreport
[01:57] <Kyoku> yep, i'm not doing a thing on that box for the rest of the week, just gonna see if it repeats
[01:57] <OerHeks> it happened before, continuously hitting enter or something like that.. but the real problem was that the encrypted volume was not unlocked
[01:58] <Kyoku> i'm even setting up my Canon 77d in timelapse mode to record the screen
[01:58] <brendantcc> Kyoku: what are you using for disk encryption?
[01:58] <OerHeks> i understand yours does
[01:58] <vaejovis> how does one submit a change to documentation? I had an undocumented UEFI issues while installing
[01:58] <Kyoku> brendantcc i used the Kubuntu 19.04 option for fde
[01:58] <Kyoku> during install
[01:58] <brendantcc> 🤔
[01:59] <Kyoku> checked luksDump to ensure no other key added
[02:00] <brendantcc> try accessing the disk thru something like Puppy Linux, and see if it's actually encrypted (i don't know...)
[02:00] <OerHeks> vaejovis, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam, not sure #ubuntu-doc is the best way, i suggest to write to the mailinglist
[02:00] <Kyoku> it was a fresh install and only two things i put on it were https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fishovkun%2FSierraBreeze&v=uyz4-KZOzyI&event=video_description&redir_token=ZrYFdcrYhVdjijKWOL2u5gwFgxZ8MTU1OTc4NjQyMEAxNTU5NzAwMDIw and VirtualBox
[02:01] <Kyoku> oops
[02:01] <Kyoku> sorry
[02:01] <Kyoku> https://github.com/ishovkun/SierraBreeze
[02:01] <Kyoku> so it's possible this SierraBreeze is malicious but I think very unlikely
[02:01] <vaejovis> I'll try. there is a known bug but none of the documentation material shows the solution which I found on a seperate post.
[02:02] <vaejovis> and finding logs is impossible because once you fix it you're able to install
[02:02] <vaejovis> I take that back I could run a live cd and reproduce but I don't know what to look for
[02:02] <OerHeks> oh, surely worth mentioning, such decoration can do a lot of funny stuff, but leaving encrypted inlog and come back and see the desktop-login, is weird.
[02:02] <OerHeks> weird if the volume is unencrypted
[02:03] <Kyoku> yeah and i'm 100% certain i left it sitting at the disk password prompt because i had forgotten the password
[02:04] <Kyoku> i finished setting up KDE, did a reboot and left it there
[02:22] <hello_kitty> I have these game services named instance1 through instance24. Sometimes they crash and I want to read their logs... but I have so many of them and no real reporting in place. Is there a command that I can run to find services that have been restarted within a certain window of time? For example systemctl status instance10.service returns a bunch of information including a line like active (running) datestuff 5m ago
[02:23] <hello_kitty> I feel like there is some clever command that can probably find the ones that have been autorestarted within the last day or so
[02:35] <TJ-> hello_kitty: are these systemd service jobs?
[02:35] <OerHeks> journalctl -u nginx.service ## journalctl -u nginx.service --since today  ## journalctl --since 09:00 --until "1 hour ago"
[02:35] <OerHeks> something like that?
[02:38] <TJ-> hello_kitty: what you you mean by restarted though? Do you mean the service executable fails and systemd restarts it, and you want to track that?
[02:41] <hello_kitty> TJ-: yea they are systemd services. And yes I have them set to autorestart. But there are many of them so rather than typing all of their names one by one and seeing if they have been active for a suspicious short amount of time, I'd like to find them in a more automated fashion
[02:46] <TJ-> hello_kitty: make it easy on yourself; make each service record when it starts. Add this to your service template:  ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c '/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S >>var/log/instance_%i.log'
[02:48] <TJ-> hello_kitty: as you likely know the %i will be replaced by systemd with the instance name
[02:49] <hello_kitty> TJ-: i've never used a command like that. If my services are named things like instance22.service, can i just make it %.log?
[02:49] <hello_kitty> %1.log  *
[02:49] <hello_kitty> whoops lol
[02:49] <sarnold> %i not %1
[02:49] <TJ-> hello_kitty: I assumed you have a instance@.service template and then have created multiple named services from it
[02:50] <hello_kitty> yeah, there's one: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Qv7SnGQN6H/
[02:50] <TJ-> e.g. instance@01.service, instance@02.service. In which case those '01' and '02' replace the %i in the command
[02:50] <hello_kitty> or rather the template for all of them (48 so far..)
[02:52] <TJ-> hello_kitty: right, so you just need to add the suggested ExecStartPost= to the [Service] section of the template (test it first of course because I haven't!) make sure it doesn't break your services starting or restarting, and the log files are correctly created and updated if you restart a service
[03:07] <hello_kitty> TJ-: i'm trying to work with that command a bit more. It certainly works when executed manually, but not when part of a service.
[03:07] <hello_kitty> i was reading that maybe it has something to do with missing a shell context (though not 100% sure what means)
[03:08] <hello_kitty> maybe this is entirely unrelated, but they're working on a command like ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/zsh -c 'pgrep process_name > /var/run/process_name.pid'
[03:10] <hello_kitty> Failed to restart instance22.service: Unit instance22.service has a bad unit file setting. See system logs and 'systemctl status instance22.service' for details. Let me paste the actual service file one sec
[03:12] <hello_kitty> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t59rgYFMCx/  checking that status command only says "Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit instance22.service has a bad unit file setting.)"
[03:13] <TJ-> hmmm
[03:14] <hello_kitty> maybe if i could open that systemlog from being unable to create the service unit file? i'm nto sure where that is tho
[03:16] <TJ-> hello_kitty: what does "systemctl cat instance22.service" show ?
[03:22] <hello_kitty> TJ-: sorry was trying a few variants. I've got this now https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BSqXp7zr7n/ from cat
[03:22] <hello_kitty> and no error being displayed on restart
[03:23] <hello_kitty> no log file either, if i'm looking for a log file called instance22
[03:23] <hello_kitty> does it have the permissions to make that log file? b/c my user doesn't appear to be able to make stuff in /var/log
[03:25] <TJ-> ahhh! this is a --user service, not system?
[03:25] <TJ-> in which case write to a different directory where the user has permissions :)
[03:52] <hello_kitty> ty TJ- :D
[04:08] <GrimSleepless> Hey guys!
[04:08] <GrimSleepless> I am wondering who is in charge of nvidia-prime?
[04:10] <GrimSleepless> I fixed a bug for them and I wanted to ask them if they wanted my fix :)
[04:17] <Eickmeyer> GrimSleepless: find the bug and post the fix there.
[04:18] <GrimSleepless> Done and done :P
[04:18] <Eickmeyer> GrimSleepless: Then that's all there is to it. :)
[04:21] <friendlyGoat> hello i was wondering how i'd go about making it so the stream of text when im first booting up isnt there
[04:22] <GrimSleepless> Eikmeyer: thanks :)
[04:23] <BruceThe_> Hi.  Question on Ubuntu 18.04.  Trying to convert the following rule and route to netplan.  "ip rule add iff eno1 lookup tun_rt” and “ip route add default via 10.10.10.1 table tun_rt”.  I get an error "NetworkManager does not support non-default routing tables."  It works fine from ip commands, but not netplan.  Any thoughts?
[04:23] <Eickmeyer> GrimSleepless: You're welcome. :)
[04:23] <Eickmeyer> BruceThe_: I have no idea, but if nobody in here can answer, try to ask in ##networking.
[04:24] <BruceThe_> ok thanks for the pointer.  If I don't get any suggestions I'll try over there.
[04:28] <x64_Bionic_YMMV> greetings, room. guidance sought. issue: "Gnome-flashback “Applications” menu disappeared"
[04:33] <x64_Bionic_YMMV> i've already tried mv ~[.gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gonfd .metacity] to *.bak, and sudo apt remove gnome-session-flashback and sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback
[04:35] <x64_Bionic_YMMV> i'd like to invoke whatever commands/scripts to reset gnome2 application menu to defaults, or rebuild it. if there's a config file that i can nuke to get it to re-create the application menu, that'll do too
[04:36] <x64_Bionic_YMMV> i've got a screenshot, if that helps
[04:42] <x64_Bionic_YMMV> ran outta time. will try again later. g'nite room
[04:58] <conr> on connection manager for a vpn profile, what would be the route under "routes" i would put to allow any connection within the LAN?
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> GrimSleepless: what is this bug about exactly?
[04:59] <conr> if i check ".. only resources on its network" and leave the routes blank, it works but is that save?
[04:59] <conr> safe?
[05:11] <Thr0r> Hi. I got this command from someone in here the other day and: "inxi -Fxz" shows: Sensors:   System Temperatures: cpu: 6280.0 C mobo: N/A gpu: radeon temp: 65 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A.  6280.0 C is terribly hot and the Fan Speeds are not showing.. Anything I can do to fix this so it show correct? Drivers? (Asus X53Z and ubuntu studio 19,04). I'm new to linux so be kind.....
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> Thr0r: inxi cant always grab the fan speeds
[05:15] <guiverc> Thr0r, if it were 6280.o C. many times the melting temp of silicon you'd have a problem.. the high temperature is obviously wrong (at 100oC many cpus turn themselves off anyway)
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> Thr0r: for your heating, you can look into your bios for fan control, or try some snaps: fancon or cpufreq
[05:18] <Bashing-om> Thr0r: Just out of curiosity - does ` cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ` give you a true temp ?
[05:19] <Thr0r> Ok, thanks. I'll have a look. My Thinkpad T400 shows almost correct info.. And thanks to you guiverc: for pointing out that the info is obviously wrong..
[05:21] <Thr0r> Bashing-om: that command gives 60.000
[05:21] <Bashing-om> Thr0r: :) .. that is in milli-degrees Celcius.
[05:22] <sammm> hey, how can I disable lock after inactivity (this is for a kiosk type environment) for a new user (before they have even logged in and gnome has populated .config?
[05:22] <sammm> i am on 16.04 LTS
[05:22] <plongshot> The following command was given in an instructional showing how to insatll zsh  and set it as the default shell. The insall went find but the command given to set zsh as default fails. This is what "sudo usermod -s /bin/bash ${whoami}"  I see that executing $ whoami returns the correct result.  What do I do to set zsh to the default?
[05:22] <plongshot> I would actually prefer to set zsh as the global default shell system wide if anyone can help me
[05:23] <plongshot> find\fine
[05:23] <sammm> plongshot: sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh <user>
[05:24] <plongshot> sammm: Is there a version that sets it globally across the entire system?
[05:24] <sammm> if you are feeling brave, sudo sed -i 's:/bin/bash:/bin/zsh/g' /etc/passwd
[05:24] <Thr0r> Bashing-om: ok - thats fine as long as you know - but I would like to think a utility that is supposed to give info is also configured to recalculate the figures like it does on my thinkpad.. Anything I can do?
[05:25] <sammm> but plongshot , double check, i just wrote that out quickly
[05:25] <plongshot> sammm: Is zsh that different?
[05:25] <plongshot> ok
[05:25] <plongshot> for sure --ty
[05:25] <sammm> if you dont know the difference between bash and zsh
[05:25] <sammm> dont change it for everyone
[05:25] <plongshot> sed scares me
[05:25] <sammm> just change it for yourself
[05:26] <sammm> editing passwd in place should scare you too :)
[05:26] <plongshot> sammm: good itdea.  If I learn it well enough that I like it then I'm sure I'll learn how to change the setting.  :>
[05:26] <sammm> plongshot: take a look at fish too
[05:26] <plongshot> fish?
[05:26] <plongshot> cool
[05:28] <Bashing-om> Thr0r: Sorta too disappointed that "inxi" is not accurate. I do not kave any idea of what we can address in the tool. Might try and see what 'lm-sensors' can do ?
[05:29] <Bashing-om> !info lm-semsors bionic | Thr0r
[05:29] <Bashing-om> !info lm-sensors bionic | Thr0r
[05:31] <plongshot> Is there a way to gain the effect of restarting the system without restarting the system? I have a lot of windows open
[05:32] <plongshot> Could the source command help me here?
[05:32] <plongshot> thx
[05:33] <Thr0r> Bashing-om:  & ubottu:  Ok - But both the temp and the fan is showing on my Thinkpad T400.. That's running Xubuntu 18,04
[05:34] <Thr0r> I'm asking this about CPU temp and Fan because they both run like crazy on both my computers sometimes and I would like to log it..
[05:49] <plongshot> I thought zsh was it's own (standalone) product.  When I do Help > About it still shows "Gnome Shell"  Did the install mess up or something?
[05:51] <plongshot> last command run was to set zsh as default
[05:51] <plongshot> so zsh doesn't have "history" (the normal commands)?
[05:51] <plongshot> what is this thing?
[05:52] <ryuo> plongshot: zsh is a shell not a terminal.
[05:52] <ryuo> plongshot: it's an alternative to BASH.
[05:52] <plongshot> oh jesus!
[05:52] <plongshot> what have I done?
[05:52] <plongshot> so any of the normal command work?
[05:52] <plongshot> less, ls, grep, find, cd
[05:52] <plongshot> the normal shit
[05:53] <ryuo> it's a different shell but external commands should still function the same.
[05:53] <plongshot> thank God. It works the same
[05:53] <plongshot> I tried some stuff
[05:53] <plongshot> that freaked me bad bro
[05:53] <ryuo> ZSH is different but it still supports a POSIX Subset.
[05:54] <plongshot> yeah.
[05:54] <plongshot> Well /bin and /usr/bin didn't change
[05:54] <ryuo> what did you think zsh was?
[05:54] <ryuo> all it would change is your interface to the system, really.
[05:55] <plongshot> an entirely new terminal such that when I pressed <ctrl> + <alt> + T  I would get an brand new application launch
[05:55] <plongshot> yes
[05:55] <plongshot> the history just didn't carry over from prior to install so I didn't recognize what I saw (like 4 lines of output).
[05:55] <plongshot> :)
[05:55] <ryuo> of course not. that history is specific to BASH.
[05:56] <plongshot> sadly  :(
[05:56] <ryuo> stored in .bash_history
[05:56] <plongshot> but I'll live  :)
[05:56] <plongshot> This is gonna be neat ( a new shell )
[05:56] <ryuo> eh, maybe not. i just use old reliable (BASH).
[05:57] <plongshot> Been with it for the entire time (started w/ linux in aabout 2010).
[05:58] <ryuo> sounds like you haven't spent much time underneath the GUI.
[05:58] <plongshot> Never thought about changing but I don't like a lot about gnome terminal
[05:58] <plongshot> not as much time as I'd like
[05:58] <plongshot> I want to focus in other (certain) areas but I can't afford to pay expert for all the other areas. I end up having to do it all or get nothing.
[05:59] <plongshot> I love talking to you guys
[05:59] <plongshot> makes a diff to me
[06:05] <plongshot> So my .bashrc means nothing now
[06:05] <plongshot> I wish I would have understood the ramifications of this
[06:06] <plongshot> my own fault
[06:12] <devslash2> I'm on Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop. I updated the packages with apt-get yesterday and it installed an update to X server and now i can only choose 1024x768 resolution. i checked and i have nvidia-380 drivers installed
[06:13] <thingfish> devslash2: shouldn't it be using the 418 drivers?
[06:13] <devslash2> i dont know
[06:14] <thingfish> well that's what installed on my box.
[06:15] <devslash2> let me try it out
[06:15] <thingfish> devslash2: what vidcard do you have?
[06:17] <devslash2> its a gtx
[06:17] <devslash2> i forget the model #
[06:18] <devslash2> gtx 750
[06:18] <thingfish> ah
[06:18] <thingfish> you may be limited to the older drivers then.
[06:18] <devslash2> i cant install 418
[06:19] <devslash2> it worked fine up until yesterday
[06:19] <thingfish> but still, you should get the resolution you want.
[06:19] <devslash2> hang on BRB idea
[06:22] <devslash2> no luck
[06:22] <devslash2> i dont know what to do
[06:23] <devslash2> how do i roll back an apt-get update
[06:35] <devslash2> hey
[06:35] <devslash2> so I fixed the glitch
[06:36] <devslash2> thingfish,
[06:52] <Yuki__> Hello!
[06:57] <Steven_> hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to easily change many settings at once depending on the location I am at. For instance, when I'm at work I want to use a certain wifi, proxy and display configuration, and at home I want to use another set of config settings
[06:57] <Yuki__> Tried to hop in yesterday, wasn't making it easy for me... Once I got through NickServ freenode was password locked, for some reason 🙃️
[06:57] <Steven_> is there a way to do that in ubuntu with e.g. a dropdown menu selection?
[07:42] <_Zaphod_> I have made a UEFI external ubuntu. i wish to make it also bootable from BIOS. how do i do this?
[07:43] <_Zaphod_> specifically it needs to boot from bios only and uefi only systems. :)
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> Yuki__: try #freenode
[07:44] <_Zaphod_> if this can't be done without repartitioning, then is there some sort of usb boot manager that can do UEFI boots off a GPT disk?
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: one for you ^
[07:45] <EriC^^> _Zaphod_: install grub-pc temporarily it should write the mbr
[07:48] <_Zaphod_> install it to what? the uefi gpt drive that doesn't have a bios boot parition?
[07:48] <_Zaphod_> or to the teeny usb drive i wish to use ot do the handoff?
[07:51] <_Zaphod_> what i did was i pulled an ssd fomr a laptop, and used another laptop +unetbootin to install a uefi ubuntu to the ssd. but of couse it wont' boot when put back into the laptop whihc has not uefi.
[07:52] <_Zaphod_> i have the unetbootin stick, can i use its' live linux to fix this without loosign data?
[07:53] <sudo-dirk> hi, i recently changed tu ubuntu budgie. using kodi, playing a dvd, the menus are very slow.
[07:53] <sudo-dirk> is there a place to past a log for inspection?
[07:54] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: lets have some details first, like budgie version, graphics card? kernel version? pc specs?
[07:54] <sudo-dirk> OS: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64
[07:55] <sudo-dirk> Kernel: 5.0.0-16-generic
[07:55] <_Zaphod_> hmm. "this kernel required an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU."
[07:55] <_Zaphod_> never mind. lol.
[07:55] <sudo-dirk> GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500
[07:55] <sudo-dirk> GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 840M
[07:55] <__raven__> (x)ubuntu 19.04 is causing some issues on an "acer e5 573" probably due to missing firmware. missing volume fn key function, sudden freezes, black screen/crashed light locker, too small range of backlight adjustment and such. any assistance welcome :)
[07:58] <sudo-dirk> Budgie Version 0.8.3 - Budgie Desktop 10.5-0ubuntu1.1
[07:59] <_Zaphod_> i was able to use unetbootin to boot the uefi, but the kernel wasn't compatible anyway. :)
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: is your nvidia driver installed correctly?
[08:00] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: I use the recommended driver metapackage nvidia-driver-418
[08:01] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: how can i find out if there are problems? nothing visible, but this is not what you need to know^^
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: is your nvidia card set to performance mode?
[08:03] <EriC^^> _Zaphod_: yeah if you're using gpt you need a bios-boot, any 1M will do
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: you can check that in nvidia-settings
[08:04] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: i am already in that dialog and searching for the information
[08:05] <sudo-dirk> In Prime Profiles I see NVIDIA (Performance Mode) checked
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: ok, thats good
[08:07] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: The preferred Mode is "Auto"
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: it depends of your needs, as kodi will play alot of movies, best to use your nvidia card
[08:08] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: The Performance-Level change from 0 to 2
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: not really sure yet what lags your dvd playing..
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: you have an ssd? how much ram?
[08:08] <sudo-dirk> The playing is okay it is just an issue with the menues
[08:09] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: ssd: yes ram: 8G
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: yeah should be plenty to run smooth
[08:09] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: Memory: 927MiB / 7862MiB
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: maybe you can try running kodi from a terminal, and also open a tail -f /var/log/syslog and see what happens when you play with the menu's
[08:10] <zamba> hi guys! i have a problem with lots of logind sessions in the closing state
[08:11] <zamba> this is filling up my /run
[08:11] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: In the kodi-log i see things like:
[08:11] <zamba> # grep -r 'STATE' /run/systemd/sessions/ | grep closing | wc -l
[08:11] <zamba> 24177
[08:11] <sudo-dirk> lotuspsychje: DEBUG: CVideoPlayerVideo::CalcDropRequirement - hurry: 1 (80 times)

[08:12] <sudo-dirk> INFO:   msg: libdvdnav: Language 'de' not found, using 'en' instead
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> sudo-dirk: maybe the #kodi guys might have an idea on that
[08:14] <sudo-dirk> They send me to the distro support^^

[08:33] <eraserpencil> hi, I suspect theres a process somewhere that happens at startup that kills my wifi and pulseaudio. How am i able to trace it?
[08:55] <dan01> If you have an nVidia GPU is it enough to run steam via "Run on Dedicated GPU" or you must specifically run the game with the dedicated GPU? I guess it's one thing to start steam on the GPU and another to start the game on the GPU
[08:55] <dan01> how about amd?
[08:59] <Soni> leftyfb: I don't wanna try to use fail2ban because it's not user-friendly and can easily fuck up the server
[09:00] <Soni> find me an user-friendly alternative and I'll happily use it
[09:14] <ertugrul_> hi
[10:05] <eugenio_> hi all, I need a hint on how to make a fs backup on a NAS. I would like to choose the folders to be backupped and discarded. In addiction to schedule the job and eventually to have the possibility to restore a single file (not the whole). I tested Deja dup but it not allows to restore the single file, and back in time, but it is to slow to perform a backup (around  1 Tb and 200000 files)
[10:13] <bitlan> Hello, i have Khadas VIM with ubuntu 18. I tried to disable/change startup screen (i meen startup screen with loading all daemons). I installed plymount but i stuck with U-boot
[10:14] <bitlan> all tutorials is for grub :(
[10:32] <westor> Q: is there any app that can display in desktop or anywhere else the CPU + RAM usage?
[10:33] <anddam> hello, can I rebuils /etc/apt/sources.list by reconfiguring a package or the like?
[10:34] <anddam> I had a hardcoded de.archive.ubuntu.com but it is now very slow, I did a replace http;//de.archive with mirror://mirrors but this results in a couple URIs not being found
[10:34] <anddam> e.g. mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates
[10:36] <jeremy31> anddam: Isn't there an option to choose mirror in Software & Updates?
[10:36] <anddam> what is Software & updates?
[10:37] <anddam> I do not have a desktop entry for such a program
[10:37] <jeremy31> Search the program menu for software
[10:38] <sudo-dirk> \join #manjaro
[10:38] <sudo-dirk> \wc
[10:38] <anddam> and I did, hence my line
[10:38] <anddam> jeremy31: ^
[10:39] <jeremy31> server?  Otherwise you should have something like https://i.stack.imgur.com/iC2SL.png
[10:40] <anddam> I'm not using GNOME
[10:40] <anddam> but if that was a program I figure it would have a desktop entry of its own
[10:40] <anddam> can it be some "preference panel" or the like?

[11:53] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:01] <M_aD> BluesKaj: hey
[12:02] <BluesKaj> hi M_aD
[12:05] <leftyfb> Soni: you love making pretty inaccurate statements. I'm going to guess you have that false assumption with fail2ban due to an issue you personally ran into that was completely not your fault in anyway
[12:06] <Soni> leftyfb: I don't trust it to not lock me out
[12:07] <hggdh> Soni: by the way, please mind your language
[12:07] <leftyfb> Soni: so you don't trust it because you don't know how to use it? You do know there's a whitelist for it right?
[12:08] <leftyfb> Soni: also, as far as ssh goes, if you're using ssh keys like I suggested, fail2ban has no way of locking you out due to an invalid password authentication
[12:09] <Soni> leftyfb: I'd rather just ignore the failed logins, because as long as they're failing everything is fine
[12:09] <rockyfelle> Any clue why this doesnt work? https://pastebin.com/2ZL9P6dD I recall it working last time I ran it
[12:10] <rockyfelle> (fixes perms in a dir wheneveres theres a change in it, is a root dir and sh is run by root)
[12:11] <leftyfb> Soni: wow. I hope some day you look back on that statement and realize how wrong you are
[12:11] <Soni> leftyfb: prove it
[12:11] <Soni> failed logins = stopped attacks
[12:11] <leftyfb> Soni: failed logins = attack in progress
[12:12] <Soni> failed logins = stopped attacks
[12:12] <Soni> successful logins = successful attacks
[12:12] <leftyfb> Soni: please seek some education on security. Please.
[12:15] <Soni> maybe I should just disable authentication entirely
[12:16] <hggdh> Soni: OK, this is enough.
[12:16] <leftyfb> Soni: you mean like I suggested to you yesterday?
[12:16] <Soni> yeah I'll just ask the server to SSH to me
[12:17] <Suny> can someone help me enable ssh server ?
[12:18] <hggdh> Suny: sudo apt install openssh-server # this will install the SSH server
[12:18] <Soni> I wonder how OpenVPN deals with attackers and I wonder if it logs failed password logins
[12:19] <Suny> hggdh : i do that but cant connect
[12:19] <hggdh> Suny: "I cant connect" does not really tells us much. What happens? Exact error messages, please
[12:20] <Suny> hggdh: time out
[12:20] <Suny> hggdh: from putty window
[12:21] <rud0lf> hi. my problem is as follows: i have new laptop with windows 7 installed (on primary and only SSD). i want to swap this disk with second one to install ubuntu on, and put windows disk in second disk socket (because second socket is SATA II)... my laptop uses uefi. so my question is, will installed ubuntu detect the other disk and add windows to grub?
[12:21] <rud0lf> i'm not a newbie but i'm completely lost when it comes to various installation configurations
[12:23] <leftyfb> rud0lf: I would suggest removing the Windows drive during the Ubuntu installation. When the install is done, put the Windows drive back in and set it as secondary boot to the Ubuntu drive. Within Ubuntu, run update-grub. Ubuntu should add Windows. Though, you should also just be able to make your selections through the UEFI menus at boot.
[12:24] <ioria> rockyfelle, try with /bin/bash (not /bin/sh)
[12:24] <rud0lf> thank you
[12:25] <hggdh> Suny: a time-out means a TCP connection could not be established. This *may* mean you are firewalls in between the two machines (the SSH client and the SSH server) and the firewall(s) is(are) blocking the traffic
[12:26] <oddcoder> hello
[12:26] <oddcoder> I tried installing binutils-dbgsym
[12:26] <oddcoder> but it says package not found
[12:26] <oddcoder> (not that bash-dbgsym is found so the repos should be setup properly)
[12:26] <oddcoder> what might I be doing wrong
[12:26] <oddcoder> also thought that maybe it is called
[12:27] <oddcoder> binutils-`uname-p`-dbgsym
[12:27] <oddcoder> but still no lock
[12:27] <oddcoder> luck*
[12:27] <hggdh> oddcoder: dbgsym have their own repository. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages for details
[12:27] <oddcoder> yes I have the repository setup
[12:27] <oddcoder> that is the problem
[12:28] <oddcoder> I verified by trying to install bash-dbgsym and it *did* work perfectly
[12:28] <oddcoder> but can
[12:28] <oddcoder> can't* find symbols for binutils
[12:28] <hggdh> oddcoder: oh, OK.
[12:29] <oddcoder> quick googling shows that packages are called after their respective arch
[12:29] <hggdh> oddcoder: binutils has a non-intuitive naming
[12:29] <oddcoder> like binutils-avr-dbgsym or binutils-msp430-dbgsym
[12:29] <oddcoder> hggdh: so what is the naming ?
[12:30] <oddcoder> this is my uname -a
[12:30] <hggdh> oddcoder: what you want is (for example) binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu-dbg
[12:30] <oddcoder> Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-50-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 7 05:57:03 UTC 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
[12:30] <oddcoder> found it!
[12:31] <oddcoder> binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu-dbg
[12:31] <hggdh> yep
[12:31] <oddcoder> thanks for the help
[12:31] <hggdh> not all packages generate dbgsym
[12:31] <hggdh> yw
[12:31] <oddcoder> luckly the one I have problem with does xD aka binutils
[12:32] <hggdh> of course, law of greater impact
[12:50] <akemlenovo> Hey TJ-, do you have some time to look at my memleak problem? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15ijmYNmm5ceOXbr4hx4E21KsdEdkHcuG
[12:51] <TJ-> akemlenovo: sure
[12:54] <TJ-> akemlenovo: can you pastebin "sudo lspci -vvvnnk"
[12:55] <TJ-> akemlenovo: I think you need to open a bug report if you haven't already and attach some of these files so we can get the kernel developers looking at in a structured way
[12:55] <john_rambo> I type in my username/password on ubuntuforums.org then I get logged in but when I try to post it says I am not logged in ...
[12:55] <john_rambo> You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again.
[12:56] <TJ-> akemlenovo: it is looking like the AER *is* causing silent memory gobbling though
[12:57] <leonardus> I'm getting screen tearing when youtube videos are in full screen
[12:57] <leonardus> RX 580 with whatever drivers were preinstalled
[12:59] <akem> Sorry i had to reconnect and install lspci.
[12:59] <iffraff> Hi, so I'm having a horrible time getting two montitors to work with my laptop, which has a hybird intel nvidia gpu situation.  I've been trying different docks ans none of them will show both monitors at the same time, most of them introduce lag.  is there anyway to do this?  I'm super exasperated. what about an hdmi splitter?
[13:00] <akem> TJ-, i see, here is lspci output https://pastebin.com/E09TanAb
[13:03] <akem> TJ-, but i had the same pci aer messages on 17.10 but no memory leaks i could let the computer running for days without reboot.
[13:03] <leonardus> also I got this error while installing the AMD driver
[13:03] <leonardus> https://gist.github.com/leonardus/b1ff09885c5c694a2327d810d061d187
[13:04] <akem> I used pci=noaer boot parameter too. And i looked a bit into that people have the same log problems but that's about it...I'm curious i'm the only one with this bug.
[13:04] <TJ-> akem: the device causing AERs is 00:1d.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:9d1b] (rev f1)   -- so we need to see what, if anything, is behind that bridge so show us "lspci -tvvvnn"
[13:05] <TJ-> akem: well, there is a kernel MEMLEAK detector we could use, but we'll likely have to build a custom kernel for that.
[13:05] <john_rambo> Any ideas?
[13:06] <akem> TJ-, https://pastebin.com/Bm2Sz2aE
[13:06] <akem> TJ-, Looks like it's a very annoying bug i have :(
[13:07] <TJ-> akem: so behind the bridge is Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723]
[13:07] <akem> TJ-, My Wifi?
[13:09] <akem> TJ-, it looks like it works fine here, it wasn't working in previous version i remember the release just after 17.10 i think i couldn't use Wifi i remember on the live USB when i tested, it was not detected.
[13:09] <TJ-> akem: right. So here's another test for you. Is it possible to disable that device *in BIOS* overnight and see if the leak continues. If BIOS cannot disable it that won't help us so you forget this idea (unless you can *physically* remove the mini-PCI Wifi card itself!
[13:10] <TJ-> akem: but I wouldn't be surprised if this is caused by that mini-PCI adapter not being fitted into the slot correctly and actually causing data errors. It may be soolved simply by re-seating firmly it in the slot
[13:10] <TJ-> akem: it isn't unknown for laptops to have these vibrate slightly free of the contacts
[13:11] <akem> TJ-, shouldn't i have the same sort of problem on Windows then?
[13:12] <akem> TJ-, Cause i have Windows 10 in dual boot and i don't have this kind of problem with it.
[13:14] <TJ-> akem: really? I didn't realise that! Then that suggests the PCI bridge is not being set-up correctly. Then you do need to create a specific bug report on this because that definitely points to a bug
[13:15] <iffraff> I have a laptop dock connected via thurnderbolt (1 I think ) and I'm getting lag.  Where does this lag come from? So I can find one with more band width in this area.
[13:17] <TJ-> akem: In windows, have you checked the Event Logs to discover if it is receiving AERs too?
[13:17] <pragmaticenigma> iffraff: If you're on thunderbolt 1, I would think the lag is coming from the limitations of the port itself. You may want to verify what port exactly you're connecting to
[13:17] <akem> TJ-, nop.
[13:17] <iffraff> well, actually I think the device is thunderbolt 1.  Is there a command to inspect this?
[13:18] <TJ-> akem: it's possible Windows is receiving these AERs too - if we could confirm that it would at least tell us this is unlikely to be a Linux PCI device config issue
[13:18] <iffraff> pragmaticenigma: were you helping me the other day with my dual monitor debacle?
[13:19] <akem> TJ-, ok, i will look in Windows events logs.
[13:20] <akem> TJ-, i sent you a pm.
[13:21] <akem> Brb rebooting.
[13:22] <pragmaticenigma> iffraff: some of this posting might help you figure out what's in your system and its capabilities. I'm not sure how to determine versioning of ports, other than through speed testing
[13:23] <iffraff> pragmaticenigma: which posting?
[13:23] <pragmaticenigma> iffraff: https://askubuntu.com/a/985074
[13:24] <iffraff> ah right, thank you :)
[13:26] <iffraff> ah this works lspci | grep -i thunder  shows thunderport 3 so I'm guessing the device is thunderport 1? and you would suspect that as the bottle neck?
[13:35] <pragmaticenigma> iffraff: If the device is thunderbolt 1, that would be where I would think a bottle neck could be occurring.
[13:37] <iffraff> crap, I just looked it up and it says thunderbolt 3 too.  Does the hrtz of a monitor limit throughput or create lag? my 4k is running at 30
[13:40] <TJ-> iffraff: the monitor supports > 30Hz @ 4K ?
[13:41] <tuxi> hi, is there anyone know a tool where to root an android smartphone?
[13:42] <leftyfb> !ot | tuxi
[13:43] <pragmaticenigma> !alis | tuxi - Use this tool to find a better channel for your topic of interest
[13:44] <tuxi> ehm i mean a software for ubuntu to root the phone, windows have but also ubuntu?
[13:45] <leftyfb> tuxi: what have you found in your research so far?
[13:46] <tuxi> nothing thats the problem, only for windows
[13:46] <leftyfb> tuxi: what did you search for exactly?
[13:47] <leftyfb> tuxi: if I type "ubuntu root android" into google, the first link that pops up is https://itsfoss.com/root-nexus-7-2013-ubuntu-linux/ and looks promising
[13:47] <tuxi> ok thx
[13:48] <leftyfb> tuxi: keep your search terms simple when using a search engine like google
[14:27] <iffraff> tj, the monitor supports 60 I believe, but I think maybe the cord is old because ubuntu will only offer me 30
[14:29] <lordcirth__> iffraff, does the GPU support 60Hz? Also some monitors have a setting to allow newer protocols
[14:32] <iffraff> lordcirth__:  well I know this, I have another 4k monitor ( I'm desperately trying to get the two to work together with my lap top but that's another HUGE pita ) and that one will show 60 hz as an option.  So I'm thinking maybe the cord is like an old version of hdmi
[14:35] <isomari> greetings, my laptop in uefi mode no longer boots ubuntu. Since there is no windows on my laptop, how can I boot ubuntu in legacy mode?
[14:40] <bad63r> isomari: which ubuntu version and DE are you trying to boot?
[14:42] <Oderus> Hello everyone. I have been having issues staying connected to my wifi on my desktop. No other devices have difficulty so I assume it's something with the pc itself. I did some looking, and it looks like my card is a RTL8812AE but modprobe says i have RTL8821AE. Here's the paste o my terminal. What do I do to rectify this? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3HBbvqkFSG/
[15:01] <shomon> hi, I have just updated ubuntu and now I have the unity plugin installed according to compiz but no launcher or menu of icons down the side
[15:01] <shomon> or window manager.. all windows appear over each other and I can't switch
[15:01] <shomon> but I can launch terminals etc..
[15:02] <shomon> how can I get it to go back, or even just with the old fashioned start menu style launcher?
[15:02] <pragmaticenigma> Oderus: The driver is valid for both the 8821  and 8812 variants of that card: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RTL8821AE.html ... try moving the PC to a different location, make sure microwaves, mobile devices, BlueTooth devices are moved away from the PC. Make sure there are no large metallic objects near the PC. Finally you might need to move the PC a bit, as sometimes the antenna may be in a "null" point
[15:04] <Oderus> pragmaticenigma: ok thank you. is there any settings i can change to improve the situation?
[15:04] <pragmaticenigma> Oderus: Start with the physical aspects first
[15:05] <Oderus> pragmaticenigma: alright thank you
[15:06] <shomon> If I run unity I get a compizconfig error "unable to find interface type 3 on 0x11d4ad0"

[15:07] <zansystem> Hi to all, trying to connect a Canon Ir2520 scanner via network to Mint. Ping ok, Print ok, tryed sane - no luck. Any help? Thanks
[15:12] <shomon> sorry zansystem , no idea. I wonder if the sane project keeps a list of what it supports
[15:20] <M_aD> zansystem: since when is Mint supported here? you know they have their own support channel on another network, Spotchat, iirc
[15:25] <zansystem> M_aD: no need to be tribal, it's only a question.
[15:26] <M_aD> but Mint related, thus it doesn't belong here
[15:26] <pragmaticenigma> zansystem: It's not tribal, Linux Mint is not the same as what is found in Ubuntu. They use different repositories and have different packages available for each platform. Just like the Debian channel does not appreciate Ubuntu users asking questions there, we ask that you seek out the appropriate resource for your choosen distribution. They will be better suited to answer and help you with your question
[15:28] <zansystem> Very well. Bye then
[15:37] <john_rambo> I want add some text to a pdf file. Which app do you recommend ?
[15:37] <pragmaticenigma> john_rambo: This channel focuses on supporting Ubuntu and it's applications. For software recommendations, you're encouraged to ask in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel
[15:38] <john_rambo> pragmaticenigma, Okay
[15:50] <KKring> Good Morning, I have some questions regarding USB ports, first, when I plug my headset into the USB3.0 it causes my keyboard to stop typing, it still lights up but wont type, is this a power draw issue? and Second, I have 3 usb3.0 and 7 usb2.0 but mouse keyboard or headset are not working when plugged in, is there a way to check to see if the ports are working?
[15:51] <mgedmin> well, you could look for USB messages in dmesg or run lsusb to see if devices were detected
[15:54] <KKring> whn i run lsusb it has a lot of output, does root hub mean anything on them?
[15:54] <pragmaticenigma> KKring: does the headset provide its own power supply?
[15:55] <KKring> it is a usb bluetooth headset, i am assuming so because it has to be charged, not very good with this stuff sorry
[15:56] <leftyfb> KKring: if it's bluetooth, then why do you need to plug it into USB?
[15:56] <MrSteve> bluetooth paired?
[15:57] <KKring> the headset has a usb part that needs to be plugged in to be detected, guess that just means wireless
[15:58] <mgedmin> bluetooth headsets usually have MicroUSB ports for charging
[15:59] <mgedmin> while my headset is charging it cannot be used over Bluetooth
[15:59] <mgedmin> (my headset also has a 3.5 mm audio jack that works even while it's charging over USB, which is totally irrelevant to anything)
[16:00] <mgedmin> power issue sounds plausible?  not sure how to verify that
[16:00] <ankk> hi. when i open vim on ubuntu gnome, it opens vim via default xterm terminal. i want to use terminology terminal as default for vim
[16:00] <ankk> i set shell as terminology  but i am not sure it is enough or correct :|
[16:00] <KKring> when i plug in the audio jack the headset and keyboard work fine, but when i plug in the usb device for it to work wirelessly my keyboard stops typing
[16:01] <KKring> i have tried plugging keyboard into usb2.0 but it wont work
[16:01] <KKring> ill have to find a way to check to see if the 2.0s are working or not
[16:01] <mgedmin> ankk: I'm like 95% sure this can be changed with sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
[16:02] <ankk> mgedmin: i changed it and ctrl+alt+t opens that terminal but when i open vim via gnome, it opens previous terminal
[16:02] <ankk> i logged out and logged in again but same..
[16:04] <mgedmin> ankk: I was wrong!  /usr/share/applications/vim.desktop is not using x-terminal-emulator, it's setting Terminal=true
[16:05] <mgedmin> now how does one set the default terminal program for gnome-shell?
[16:05] <ankk> hmm
[16:06] <ankk> mgedmin: https://askubuntu.com/questions/749832/how-to-change-default-terminal-application-in-gnome-shell
[16:06] <mgedmin> gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal
[16:06] <mgedmin> shows that on _my_ system it's using x-terminal-emulator, like I thought
[16:06] <mgedmin> strangely this option was removed from gnome-control-center and never got added to gnome-tweaks so you can only set it from dconf-editor (or gsettings set ...)
[16:07] <akemlenovo_> KKring, your keyboard is wireless too?
[16:07] <mgedmin> (dconf dump confirms that I never changed that option, so it shoul dbe using x-terminal-emulator on every ubuntu install by default)
[16:08] <MrSteve>  Gnome-Terminal is what it should use ... it's default.
[16:09] <MrSteve> others are emulated under gnome
[16:09] <mgedmin> I don't think that word means what you think it means
[16:21] <sruli> is there a way to add a hook to iptables? i want to run iptables-persistent after i add a rule
[16:25] <k_sze> Why does `apt list --upgradable` show "linux-generic-hwe-16.04/bionic-updates,bionic-security 4.15.0.51.53 amd64 [upgradable from: 4.15.0.50.52]"?
[16:26] <k_sze> My server is already on 18.04, do I even need that HWE package??
[16:26] <leftyfb> !hwe | k_sze
[16:26] <hggdh> k_sze: it seems you *already have it installed (but on an older version)
[16:26] <k_sze> hggdh: yes, which is a bit odd.
[16:26] <hggdh> why?
[16:27] <k_sze> if anything, I should be on linux-generic-hwe-18.04, right?
[16:27] <TJ-> sruli: Yes
[16:27] <sruli> TJ-: google isnt being helpful, how do i do that?
[16:29] <hggdh> k_sze: what is your Ubuntu version?
[16:29] <k_sze> 18.04.2
[16:30] <hggdh> k_sze: and what kernels you have installed? You can run dpkg -l linux-generic\*, or just ls /boot) Put the results in a pastebin
[16:31] <hggdh> k_sze: also was your system upgraded from 16.04?
[16:31] <k_sze> hggdh: yes, upgraded from 16.04
[16:31] <MrSteve> trusty?
[16:31] <k_sze> hggdh: https://bpaste.net/show/cd986c0b2329
[16:32] <TJ-> sruli: create /usr/local/sbin/ip{,6}tables shell scripts, with "#!/bin/sh" "/sbin/${0##*/} $@" "/sbin/netfilter-persistent save"  or similar
[16:33] <hggdh> k_sze: there is your answer (in the output): linux-generic-hwe-16.04 is a "dummy transitional package".
[16:33] <ioria> k_sze, can you paste   dpkg -l | grep linux-image   ?
[16:33] <MrSteve> trusty did it to me going on with 16.04
[16:34] <k_sze> ioria: https://bpaste.net/show/e945f191e9bb
[16:34] <idotzror> hellu
[16:35] <ioria> k_sze, current is -1; sudo apt full-upgrade
[16:35] <ioria> -51
[16:35] <k_sze> ioria: yes, I realize that.
[16:36] <sruli> TJ-: like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kM8jVJKJCp/ ?
[16:36] <hggdh> k_sze: you also should be able to remove the linux-generic-hwe-16.04 -- it is most probably a left-over from the upgrade
[16:42] <k_sze> yeah, I'll do that.
[16:42] <k_sze> that's for the help
[16:44] <sruli> TJ-: like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kM8jVJKJCp/ ?

[16:48] <gamester> Hello. At some point I installed the non-ubuntu gnome desktop. Now I'm trying to remove it without removing ubuntu, with difficulty. Is there a package name that encompasses all of the ubuntu gnome things that ubuntu ships with?
[16:49] <ioria> gamester, what is 'the non-ubuntu gnome desktop' ?
[16:49] <gamester> ioria: If you install 'gnome' then on login you get "ubuntu" and you get "gnome". Obviously both are gnome.
[16:50] <ioria> yes ....
[16:50] <OerHeks> adding a desktop is easy, removing one is interesting.. non-ubuntu desktop?
[16:50] <gamester> And I'm trying to remove the "Gnome" one which I no longer have an interest in, without ruining ubuntu gnome.
[16:50] <sruli> TJ-: doesnt seem to run
[16:50] <TJ-> sruli: is /usr/local/sbin in PATH ?
[16:51] <TJ-> sruli: "which -a iptables"
[16:51] <sruli> TJ-: # which -a iptables
[16:51] <sruli> /usr/local/sbin/iptables
[16:51] <sruli> /sbin/iptables
[16:52] <TJ-> sruli: what doesn't work? do you not see the test messages?
[16:53] <sruli> TJ-: i dont see the rule in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 also the test message is not showing
[16:53] <leftyfb> sruli: type -a iptables
[16:54] <sruli> leftyfb: # type -a iptables iptables is /usr/local/sbin/iptables iptables is /sbin/iptables
[16:54] <leftyfb> sruli: going forward, you should use pastebin for these sorts of outputs
[16:54] <sruli> true, sorry
[16:54] <ioria> gamester, the 'rule' is that you remove / purge the main package you installed and then run  apt autoremove
[16:55] <TJ-> sruli: you could add "set -x" to the beginning to ensure the script is executing. I assume you're calling it with "sudo iptables ...." so ensure /usr/local/sbin/ is in the PATH "sudo which -a iptables"
[16:57] <sruli> TJ-: i am testing it as root, i might be doing this wrong, to use this do i need to add the rule using this script "/usr/local/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT"
[16:59] <TJ-> sruli: no, just "iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT" as per normal. If /usr/local/sbin/ is in the PATH then the script should pick that up and pass the args to the real iptables
[16:59] <TJ-> sruli: it won't matter you're using its absolute pathname though
[16:59] <sruli> TJ-: tried with set -x i also attach a "touch /tmp/file" doesnt execute it
[17:00] <sruli> TJ-: /attach/tried
[17:00] <TJ-> sruli: did you make the file executable?
[17:00] <sruli> TJ_: sure
[17:00] <sruli> TJ-:  ^^
[17:00] <TJ-> sruli: as per usual then, you've done something weird !
[17:00] <sruli> TJ-: lol its a new install have not done anything yet
[17:01] <TJ-> sruli: is /usr/local/ a separate file-system or part of /rootfs/
[17:01] <TJ-> sruli: that's not stopped you yet! :D
[17:01] <TJ-> sruli: there is a /bin/sh isn't there?
[17:02] <sruli> TJ-: same fs, /bin/sh -> dash, ubuntu 18.04 server
[17:02] <TJ-> sruli: I'm not sure what you've done then!
[17:04] <sruli> TJ-: aint done nothing ;-(
[17:04] <akem> Hey, so i just installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 on a lenovo thinkpad x131e and i'm missing the Wifi which is a Broadcom BCM43228, i tried https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2365894 which apparently works on Ubuntu 16.4 but not with current one :/
[17:05] <TJ-> sruli: hang on, are you using the 'bash' shell? I bet you've got iptables in the hash table. Type "hash"
[17:05] <TJ-> sruli: clear it with "hash -r"
[17:06] <sruli> TJ-: yep, works now but "+ DEBUG=echo iptables help me test it 4" repeats endless
[17:07] <TJ-> sruli: that sounds like it's calling itself not the real /sbin/iptables
[17:07] <TJ-> sruli: which suggests the ${0##*/} is incorrect
[17:07] <akem> It looks like the drivers modules like bcm43xx or brcmsmac are not present on 18.04 :X
[17:10] <TJ-> !info broadcom-sta-dkms | akem is this what you need (provides the 'wl' driver)
[17:10] <SimonNL> akem does ubuntu have driver manager ?
[17:11] <ioria> akem, maybe give us the exact chip :   lspci -nn -d 14e4:
[17:11] <sruli> TJ-: I commented all and added "echo $0" and "echo ${0##*/}", output is /usr/local/sbin/iptables & /sbin/iptables -F so the var manipulation seems right
[17:12] <SimonNL> akem: if it does make it show the recommended driver for wifi will be used
[17:12] <TJ-> sruli: ooooo I know! the one bit I couldn't test here! netfilter-persistent will call iptables!!! ooops
[17:12] <TJ-> sruli: obvisously it isn't calling it using its absolute path, grrr
[17:13] <sruli> TJ-: aha /usr/sbin/netfilter-persistent, works now thanks as usual you save the day (whats different this time is that i havnt managed to break anything yet, wont be long)
[17:13] <sruli> cookie | TJ-
[17:13] <TJ-> sruli: no, not that! the plugin uses absolute paths
[17:14] <TJ-> sruli: see to check me on this /usr/share/netfilter-persistent/plugins.d/15-ip4tables
[17:14] <akem> TJ-, ok thanks i'll look into that - ioria: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]
[17:14] <sruli> TJ-: when running the script it calls "/usr/share/netfilter-persistent/plugins.d/15-ip4tables save" is that ok?
[17:15] <ioria> akem, that should use the bcmwl-kernel-source
[17:17] <ankk> i love you girls
[17:17] <sruli> thanks
[17:18] <akem> ioria, i need to add a repository to install it?
[17:19] <ioria> akem, nope
[17:19] <TJ-> sruli: I spotted a problem , it should be calling /usr/sbin/netfilter-persistent (not /sbin/...)
[17:19] <sruli> TJ-: yes, thats what i wrote before
[17:19] <ioria> akem, but it's in restricted
[17:19] <TJ-> sruli: yes, that is correct; those are the netfilter plugins for iptables
[17:19] <TJ-> sruli: OK, I'm 1/2 asleep here!
[17:20] <sruli> TJ-: i'm gonna need to add some filter in the script to only execute if command start with -A/F/P/Z
[17:20] <akem> ioria, ok thanks, i will try to get a wired connection, bbl.
[17:21] <TJ-> sruli: you mean you don't want delete/change ?
[17:21] <sruli> TJ-: i dont want it to run when just calling iptables -nvL or similar
[17:22] <ioria> akem, https://askubuntu.com/questions/626642/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-drivers-offline/626653#626653
[17:26] <ash_worksi> so, I think I need to understand mounts a little better before I (keep) make(-ing) an ass out of myself asking questions about it...
[17:27] <ash_worksi> if you have a usb-port, and you run `fdisk -l` with nothing inserted, might you see something representing that that port exists such as `/dev/sbc` or that would ONLY be the case when a drive is actually inserted?
[17:31] <sruli> TJ-: do you have a regex handy to filter the iptables command for the ones which add/change rules instead of always executing the script?
[17:32] <sarnold> ash_worksi: sbc or sdc?
[17:35] <sruli> TJ-: i gotta run, if you have a regex for it handy please PM me, thank again
[17:36] <TJ-> sruli: switch to using bash and you should be able to match it with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y5zVXM6rMd/
[17:38] <akem> ioria, yay it worked just fine :P thanks a lot.
[17:38] <ioria> akem, ok, no problem
[18:23] <alexandre9099> so, how can i put GLIBC_2.28 on ubuntu 18.04? do i have to upgrade the ubuntu version?
[18:24] <leftyfb> alexandre9099: why do you think you need it?
[18:25] <alexandre9099> cause i'm compiling a binary on a machine that uses GLIBC_2.28 ;)
[18:25] <zamba> ok, what has happened with ubuntu lately.. my system has 4 GB RAM and a SSD.. but it freezes daily
[18:25] <leftyfb> alexandre9099: which binary are you trying to compile?
[18:25] <alexandre9099> leftyfb, sl-modem-daemon with a "patch" that i hope would work
[18:25] <zamba> i'm even running gnome-session-fallback
[18:26] <leftyfb> zamba: overheating? Looked in dmesg?
[18:26] <zamba> leftyfb: nothing in the logs
[18:27] <zamba> leftyfb: seems like some kind of feedback chamber.. where it just escalates out of control
[18:28] <zamba> leftyfb: i have "saved" the system a couple of times.. last time when i google image searched for something.. loading up those images nearly grinded the machine to a halt
[18:28] <zamba> but a quick response with ctrl + w managed to keep me floating
[18:28] <OerHeks> alexandre9099, like i told you yesterday: upgrade to 19.04 which gives that packages glibc
[18:28] <zamba> though it took a couple of minutes to catch up
[18:29] <leftyfb> zamba: lack of a proper video driver? Also, 4G is a bit low
[18:29] <zamba> leftyfb: this is not windows
[18:29] <OerHeks> wild guess: that patch is written for 19.04 too, no?
[18:30] <alexandre9099> OerHeks, i didn't see it, my bouncer went nuts yesterday :/ problem is that the laptop has like 250MB ram, and only the netinstall would work, unless there is some way to update directly from the system, but even then, it would take ages to update (imagine a 30GB 2.5GB IDE disk)
[18:30] <OerHeks> oh, it is cosmic 18.10 actually https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/libc6
[18:31] <alexandre9099> btw, i don't recall having any version select on the mini iso
[18:32] <leftyfb> alexandre9099: the mini.iso is released per release. You download the mini.iso for the release you want. Just like every other iso
[18:32] <OerHeks> 250 mb ram.. too little to make linux work properly..
[18:32] <leftyfb> OerHeks: %s/linux/Ubuntu/g fixed it for ya :)
[18:32] <alexandre9099> OerHeks, yeah i know, but i would like to use this laptop to get the modem working ;)
[18:34] <zamba> leftyfb: i believe the culprit may be thunderbird
[18:35] <zamba> i don't think it handles big imap folders particularly well
[18:35] <alexandre9099> oh well, i just compiled it on the system i want to run it on, turns out my patch didn't work, though i have no idea how alsa api works
[18:38] <alexandre9099> my problem is that i would like to use slmodemd at the same time as aplay, for example, but if slmodem opens the device in "exclusive" mode (hw:) nothing else can access the card
[18:38] <leftyfb> zamba: I have 9 IMAP accounts in my Thunderbird. One mailbox is 6G in size, totaling about 15G
[18:39] <zamba> leftyfb: what is the resource demands for your thunderbird?
[18:39] <zamba> leftyfb: and which version?
[18:39] <leftyfb> zamba: under 400M and 60.7.0
[18:39] <zamba> same version here
[18:41] <OerHeks> "slmodem" or "Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux"; the supported hardware is known as "Alsa modems", "AC97-like modems", or "HAMR" or "AMR/CNR/MDC/ACR".
[18:41] <OerHeks> that modem uses alsa, so i guess it can do 1 job at the time? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportSlModem
[18:42] <alexandre9099> OerHeks, exactly, that's the "problem", cause i would like to use the modem as a phone, but i can't "speak" if the mic is blocked by slmodem
[18:43] <Niwla23> I have done chmod +s /sbin/shutdown. How to do it for killall? /sbin/killall dont exists
[18:44] <OerHeks> i think it is /bin/kill ..
[18:44] <leftyfb> it is /usr/bin/killall
[18:44] <leftyfb> Niwla23: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:45] <Niwla23> oh, i think its debian does it changes something?
[18:45] <leftyfb> Niwla23: try #debian  ... not sure why you're asking here

[19:13] <tpw_rules> hi i'm trying to add an external monitor to my laptop and it works now but whenever i unplug the hdmi the internal monitor turns off too
[19:14] <ksbalaji> I 'm on ubuntu 18.04 in acer aspire. My synaptic wont start after an update. Some MITMAGIC error please
[19:18] <ioria> ksbalaji, are you using wayland ?
[19:19] <ioria> ksbalaji, echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
[19:24] <ncollins> hello - I have two hard drives connected to an 18.04 server via a SATA -> USB enclosure, however it seems only one at a time is showing up in /dev/disk/by-id. They're both recognized and writeable, but only the last one that I write to actually shows up as a symlink in /dev/disk/by-id/. Anyone know of a fix for this?
[19:26] <pragmaticenigma> ncollins: I'd start looking in the logs
[19:27] <ioria> ncollins, also sudo blkid might help
[19:28] <TJ-> ncollins: do the drives have identical IDs ?
[19:28] <ncollins> oh, yup, that's what it is
[19:29] <ncollins> they're both getting 0123456789ABCDE, likely due to the USB enclosure
[19:29] <TJ-> ncollins: right, means the USB<>SATA bridge isn't a translating bridge, it's creating 'virtual' IDs and hiding the devices behind those
[19:29] <ioria> get another enclosure
[19:30] <TJ-> ncollins: do they both have the same UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ?
[19:31] <ncollins> none of the connected drives are showing up in by-uuid, for some reason
[19:31] <TJ-> ncollins: those should be different since they're file-system UUIDs
[19:31] <ncollins> I think my question is answered enough to work around for now, though
[19:32] <ksbalaji> ioria, Yes its wayland
[19:32] <TJ-> ncollins: the other possibility is " ls -l  /dev/disk/by-path/ "
[19:33] <ioria> ksbalaji, if you really want  'sudo xhost si:localuser:root'; but i suggest ubuntu on xorg
[19:33] <ncollins> yep, they're different in /dev/disk/by-path/
[19:33] <ksbalaji> ioria, Also, it seems I don't have any other choice than wayland,
[19:33] <ioria> ksbalaji, what ?
[19:35] <ksbalaji> ioria, how to switch to any other session please? The effort fails.

[19:35] <ioria> ksbalaji, from the login screen
[19:35] <OerHeks> should be fixed long time ago
[19:36] <ksbalaji> ioria, from the login screen, I am unable to login to any other session than wayland..
[19:36] <OerHeks> login, click username, then the change icon appears
[19:36] <ioria> ksbalaji, not the default behaviour
[19:36] <ksbalaji> ioria, Maybe, installation problem. But How to find out please?
[19:37] <ioria> ksbalaji, find out what ?
[19:37] <ioria> ksbalaji, anyways, try to create a new user
[19:38] <ksbalaji> ioria,  find out: Whether any other session is available for me to login?
[19:39] <ioria> ksbalaji, ubuntu 18.04 gives you  2 choices : 1) (default) ubuntu on xorg and 2) wayland
[19:39] <ioria> ksbalaji, create a new user
[19:40] <ksbalaji> ioria, how to find xorg is properly installed for me please?
[19:41] <ioria> ksbalaji, dpkg -l | grep xorg
[19:41] <ioria> ksbalaji, but it should not be a problem ....
[19:42] <ksbalaji> ioria, ok . .  That command gave 20 lines output! I shall try creating new user also.
[19:42] <ioria> ksbalaji, paste it please
[19:43] <ksbalaji> ioria, I wish that I can login with my user name instead of creating multiple user names.

[19:58] <hggdh> ksbalaji: google-android-build-tools-installer:i386 (already installed) has a file called /usr/bin/aidl; the new package is trying to overwrite it

[20:39] <Dodek> ankk: this post tells me that recompiling manually is a solution, but i've already known that.
[20:46] <ankk> he didn't get answer since 2017. maybe you shouldn't wait too much
[20:48] <Dodek> either way, i just learned that it's not because the cipher i wanted to use hasn't been compiled in, but rather because it was removed in more recen version
[20:48] <Dodek> and that's because it never actually worked in the first place, and was listed in supported ciphers erroneously
[20:48] <Dodek> anyway, thanks
[20:49] <ankk> she is angry about that
[21:06] <Thr0r> Hi! I have 4 workspaces on my buntu. Is there a way to display all 4 at the same time on one monitor? I have a 58" monitor and I want to see all workspaces in a "split view"
[21:15] <akem> Hey, i want to run a boot script as root for normal boot, should i create the symbolic link in rc2.d or rc3.d, i'm not sure?
[21:15] <xamithan> Do a systemd unit file instead
[21:17] <akem> xamithan, is it not too complicated? cause it's just for one line to set the fan speed to the max.
[21:17] <TJ-> Thr0r: you'd need to use a window-manager that supports multiple workspaces in that way
[21:20] <xamithan> It's pretty easy,  or if you want just throw the path to script in /etc/rc.local
[21:20] <xamithan> rc3.d/rc2.d etc it depends on what runlevel you are starting in
[21:22] <Thr0r> TJ-: Ok - I have two window managers: "Window Manager" and "Window Manager Tweaks". None of them seems to do what I want. Suggestions?
[21:24] <akem> xamithan, i'm in front of some systemd doc, it looks more complicated to setup...I'll try the /etc/rc.local first thanks.
[21:25] <TJ-> Thr0r: that isn't the kind of window manager I meant; the layout of application windows are managed by a ... "window manager" and there are a LOT of them and their names usually end with "wm"
[21:26] <greenstatic> anyone knows why http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ contains the directory ubuntu which points to the same dir thereby causing an infinite loop?
[21:26] <TJ-> Thr0r: for example, to get a rough list of what Ubuntu has in the archives do "apt list '*wm' "
[21:31] <Thr0r> TJ-: Ok - I was thinking I should not bother folks in here with such an easy Q, but it seems it is more to it than just; Click that and choose that.. Thanks - I will have to have a look then. What I want is to be able to view all workspaces at once and the go to the one where something is happening when it does, or some work is finished. I do alot at the same time...
[21:33] <TJ-> Thr0r: yes, that's where multi-monitors come in useful :)
[21:35] <Thr0r> TJ-:  Yes! - and I used to have 3 physical and want to narrow it down to one big one with several workspaces - Small Flat here :)
[21:40] <Lope> I'm having trouble mounting a windows 10 share from ubuntu 18.04
[21:40] <Lope>  mount -t cifs //192.168.x.y/Z /mnt/foo/ -o username=john,password=secret,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000
[21:40] <Lope> permission denied
[21:42] <TJ-> Lope: as root, or using 'sudo' ?
[21:43] <Lope> TJ-, as root
[21:43] <Lope> sudo better?
[21:43] <TJ-> Lope: no, I just wanted to be clear
[21:44] <TJ-> check the kernel log for clues as to what object "permission denied" refers to. It could be the remote share or it could be the local mountpoint
[21:44] <Lope> I already set the local mountpoint to 777 and owned by nobody:nogroup
[21:45] <TJ-> Lope: look for clues with "journalctl -b -p warning"
[21:45] <Lope> in windows I gave the user full control, and also went into the security tab and gave full access there too
[21:46] <ChadTaljaardt> Hello, I am trying ubuntu 19.04 without installing it but the monitor is rotated 180 degrees
[21:46] <TJ-> Lope: also, try adding "--verbose" before the "-o ..."
[21:46] <ChadTaljaardt> any idea how i can fix this with the terminal?
[21:47] <TJ-> ChadTaljaardt: "xrandr -output XXXX --rotate inverted" where XXXX is the output listed by "xrandr"
[21:47] <Lope> TJ-, no more info from verbose
[21:47] <ChadTaljaardt> ill give it a try TJ-
[21:48] <TJ-> ChadTaljaardt: if you're using SSH you'll need to prefix that with "DISPLAY=:0 ..."
[21:49] <TJ-> Lope: you could run the command wrapped with strace to see where the -ENOPERM is being returned, as in "strace -f -o /tmp/mount.strace.log mount ...."  then examine (or pastebin) /tmp/mount.strace.log
[21:51] <WiseMonk> Hello, I have a question, when using the command "festival --tts <(echo "hello test") "  I get an audio output, but when using: "festival --tts /dev/stdin" and the typing + pressing enter, I get no audio.  Why and how to make it work?
[21:51] <WiseMonk> !""
[21:53] <TJ-> WiseMonk: "man festival" tells us you just do "festival --tts" to have it read from stdin
[21:54] <TJ-> WiseMonk: "--tts   Synthesize text in files as speech no files means read from stdin (implies no interaction by default)"
[21:54] <Lope> TJ-, thanks buddy! I figured it out
[21:54] <TJ-> Lope: what was it?
[21:54] <Lope> it's because I'm trying to mount it from inside a LXC container
[21:54] <TJ-> Lope: doh!
[21:54] <Lope> just goes to show that a container can't do everything properly.
[21:55] <Lope> Cos cifs is kernel stuff
[21:55] <TJ-> Lope: unprivileged container I presume?
[21:55] <Lope> https://serverfault.com/questions/416083/mount-error13-permission-denied-only-in-lxc-container-for-cifs-samba-share
[21:55] <Lope> TJ-, yes!
[21:55] <TJ-> Lope: make the container privileged
[21:55] <Lope> the strace helped me think of it
[21:55] <Lope> Because I saw errors like: connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[21:55] <Lope> Not that I understand exactly what that means, but the container couldn't find something to setup some kind of socket
[21:56] <TJ-> right, ENOENT means Error No Entry (e.g. /var/run/nscd/socket isn't there)
[21:56] <Lope> TJ-, hmm, I COULD make the container privledged, but the whole point is to give someone SSH access to be able to upload files to the windows VM
[21:57] <Lope> And I don't want the SSH account to be privledged.
[21:57] <Lope> my girlfriend says ENOENT sometimes
[21:57] <TJ-> Lope: if you're using LXC I think you can configure the mount itself from outside the container as part of its config
[21:57] <TJ-> Lope: are you using lxc or lxd ?
[21:57] <TJ-> Lope: sounds like lxd (with the 'lxc' command, confusing or what!)
[21:57] <Lope> LXC
[21:58] <Lope> yeah, so I'll mount it from the host
[21:58] <Lope> then bind it into the unprivledged container
[21:58] <Lope> Kind of sucks to have everything on the host
[21:58] <Lope> but hey, what u gonna do.
[21:58] <TJ-> Lope: could be fun organising the permissions between unpriv-ed and priv-ed though
[21:59] <Lope> well, how would it even be possible to bind mount it from one CT to another?
[21:59] <TJ-> Lope: if it is a lxd container: https://bayton.org/docs/linux/lxd/mount-cifssmb-shares-rw-in-lxd-containers/
[22:08] <ankk> good night girls
[23:10] <bear38> I think I once saw a package that provided a program that would extract any compressed file extension from the command line -- .tar, .bz2, .xz, etc. Does anyone know what package that was?
[23:10] <xamithan> 7zip ?
[23:10] <jeremy31> bear38: It isn't included anymore?  engrampa?
[23:15] <bear38> jeremy31, thanks, i think that was it!
[23:53] <friendlyGoat> hello, i was wondering about something
[23:53] <friendlyGoat> is there a way i could go about making it so the quick black before my login prompt appears where its the login in a text only mode format, isnt there? i want it to go straight to gui without stopping there for a second
