[00:17] raid5dumb, i'm at some loss as to explain how things were at the start of your dilemma. how did you start with a raid5 having only two disks? did one fail? [00:29] and now i have to copy a bootable drive to a logical volume. any advice? [00:30] someone suggested i use rsync. what options would i use for that [00:33] anyone know why firefox on 19.04 is unable to work with google on duo like it has on two on my windows 10 desktops? [00:33] it's unable to sync [00:34] I just installed on this notebook [00:34] Client: HexChat 2.14.2 • OS: Ubuntu "disco" 19.04 • CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B960 @ 2.20GHz (798MHz) • Memory: Physical: 3.6 GiB Total (2.8 GiB Free) Swap: 2.0 GiB Total (2.0 GiB Free) • Storage: 33.0 GB / 486.6 GB (453.6 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Control [00:34] ler • Uptime: 9m 21s [00:36] firefox is unable to sync says "invalid two factor code" but I know it's right [00:37] Gallomimia: rsync -avzP is nice if you're going over a network; leave off the -z if it's between two local disks [00:37] thanks sarnold. ever done that for a /boot/EFI partition? [00:38] been trying to do this for days. can't seem to find a clear-headed moment for it [00:38] Gallomimia: no; that's FAT, right? all files, nothing fancy? [00:38] uh, yeah [00:38] pretty sure [00:38] part of -a is user, group, and mode; I wonder how rsync will take that [00:39] it might continue on silently, might give warnings, or might die loudly :) [00:39] pretty sure it just ignores things in a fat partition [00:41] how can I ask systemd why a certain unit is running? [00:45] systemctl list-dependencies can probably show you the Wants, somehow, but .. man. [00:46] anyone found a vmware intelligent hub (MDM agent) for ubuntu 19.04 yet? [00:48] Gallomimia: if you place your ESP on LVM your firmware will most likely fail to detect / read it. in the unlikely case that the mainboard firmware will not fail to read it, but then attaempt to write to it, it'll cause data corruption due to the LVM layer. [00:48] what's an ESP? [00:49] efi system partition, what /boot/EFI usually points to [00:49] anyway, no. that and /boot are located outside my containers [00:49] donofrio: is open-vm-tools the thing you're looking for? [00:50] Gallomimia: then you must have been discussing something else when you said and now i have to copy a bootable drive to a logical volume. any advice? [00:50] Gallomimia: but thats fine then ;) [00:50] the, root FS and the EFI and boot. gotta copy them all to the existing setup. i have predefined partitions for boot and efi [00:52] alright. boot could actually be on lvm. [00:53] Sven_vB: < sarnold> systemctl list-dependencies can probably show you the Wants, somehow, but .. man. [00:53] sarnold, thanks! [00:53] oh yeah? i uh... don't really know the difference between them. [00:53] i had this set up working before. but current installers don't support the nested containers. regression of features does not sit well with me :( [00:53] Sven_vB: systemctl cat can show you what's in the files, but I don't think it'll show you anything with the wants.d/ directories .. [00:54] Gallomimia: ESP is where the UEFI mainboard firmware loads the bootloader (usually grub) from. /boot is where grub loads the initrd and kernel from. [00:56] there are grub modules which add support for lvm and other storage mechanisms such as md raid, luks1 [00:57] i am using all 3 of those. nested [00:57] is there some deadly reason i need to encrypt /boot ?? [00:58] if evil maid attacks are part of your scenario, those would be why. [00:59] you mean, someone poisoning my boot kernel? [01:00] firmware, boot loader, initrd or kernel image, yes [01:00] i.... suppose they could do it to the EFI partition or the boot partition [01:02] the first part is what uefi secure boot could potentially safeguard against, the boot partition could be luks encrypted, decrypted by grub [01:02] but as you can tell this can easily get complex [01:03] sarnold, list-dependencies just shows the trivial ones, no hints about why it delays the stopping. [01:04] "delays the stopping"? [01:04] what problem are you *actually* trying to solve? :) [01:04] it's already quite complex.. the last time i had it fully set up, the GUI for the passphrase input was totally borked. [01:05] but this brings me to a third problem i seem to be having. i usually catch a view of some error message saying secure boot is not signed by a trusted key. what's up with that? [01:06] Gallomimia: i doubt this is the exact message. the message is more likely telling you that something that's being loaded is not signed with a key that secure boot considers trusted. [01:09] the closes thing seems to be sudo systemctl show bluetooth.target | grep WantedBy, so I'll try that [01:10] however, that one becomes empty instantly when I unplug the antenna [01:11] probably that's why systemd reports "bluetooth.target: Unit not needed anymore.

[12:17] Welp, it seems the issue with snap-packages having broken theming has been around since 2016 in Ubuntu's bug-tracker and there's still no fix for it [12:18] One more reason to hate the whole stupid thing, in my book [12:18] what do you mean by "theming"? [12:19] oh gtk themes [12:19] WereCatf: snaps are created by their maintainers, nothing to do with ubuntu [12:19] if snap ever goes away, it's going to be replaced by flatpack [12:21] which shares that problem [12:22] lotuspsychje: Actually, it does. Themes not being applied to apps distributed as Snap-packages, yet Ubuntu nowadays insisting on distributing so many apps as Snap-packages definitely is Ubuntu's problem [12:22] WereCatf: feel free to discuss that in #ubuntu-discuss [12:23] No point in discussing it, since the bug-tracker has already had an issue open for it for years with no fix in development.

[12:25] so if you do apt install vlc it defaults to a snap ? [12:25] Yes [12:25] vlc isn't installed in a default install from what I can see [12:25] How do I turn off keyring authentication popup?

[12:26] you haven't answered any of the questions though [12:26] ikonia: no, snap isn't a replacement for apt and you can't install snap-packages by calling apt [12:26] doesn't look like VLC is part of the default insall, so not sure why you think it's default, is the snap made by ubuntu or a 3rd party [12:26] WereCatf: right, so if you apt install vlc - it won't install a snap [12:26] so it's not "default" [12:27] so let's get an ubuntu 18.04 lts image and install it in a VM to see which snaps - if any - are installed by default.

[14:34] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/126009/cause-a-script-to-execute-after-networking-has-started --- and the opposite, *before network* .. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/229048/how-to-start-a-systemd-service-before-networking-starts [14:34] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/systemd-essentials-working-with-services-units-and-the-journal looks ok for a generic systemd introduction [14:35] 2 minutes ago .. http://ppa.launchpad.net and http://bazaar.launchpad.net are offline for maintenance. Should be back soon. [14:35] ... or ask our resident free google Search4U(tm) volunteers. [14:36] blackflow, lol [14:36] blackflow, if that does not work, i'll bing4you [14:36] :) [14:37] Can anyone help me understand the scope of lib* packages? I know that *-dev packages are needed to compile code, so does that mean that the lib* packages strictly only provide libraries that other programs need? [14:37] the lib packages are the reuslt of building dev packages [14:37] So, from an end user perspective, the lib* packages are meaningless? [14:38] if they were meaningless, they would not occupy diskspace [14:38] OerHeks: Ah, thank you. So, basically, they will never provide and new items in (for example) /usr/bin/, they just provide the precompiled headers and such for other programs to use? [14:38] never provide any new* [14:38] bear38: they're mostly for shared .so libs/functions/utilities/code, as more than one program may require it, so that's why they're packaged like that [14:39] they would only put stuff in /usr/lib* and other such locations? [14:39] I don't think there's any such guarantee. [14:39] blackflow: Thanks, that makes sense. [14:42] is ppa.launchpad.net down for everyone? [14:42] MadCamel, jups, it will soon be up, maintenance [14:42] * MadCamel facepalms [14:43] https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus [14:44] Yeah I see the twitter now. Two hours.. That's no good. Guess I'll have to figure out how to build these machines without apt [14:45] Odd that there's no mirrors of this system that I can easily find [14:45] Just spent 10 minutes to look for, download and install dependencies of graphicsmagick, but got it working at the end. [14:45] I'm missing a simple `apt install graphicsmagick` :) [14:51] "two hours" was 9 hours ago tho [14:53] beats me. I have a deadline in 2 hours. I've resorted to rsyncing /usr and /var from one machine to another.. [14:54] and I now know to locally mirror any ppa debs I may need [15:11] is http (not https) broken for PPA right now? [15:11] https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ppa.launchpad.net [15:12] ah. I see the channel log, thanks! :-D [15:12] jelly, indeed [15:32] hello. are PPAs down for everybody? [15:33] apt says "Could not connect to ppa.launchpad.net:80 (91.189.95.83), connection timed out" [15:33] novns: https://twitter.com/launchpadstatus [15:34] yeah, launchpad.net is stuck [15:34] jeremy31, ok, thanks [15:35] I have some weird problem with my left-click function (on both mouse, and trackpad button, and trackpad simulated left-click via single tap on the trackpad), seemingly completely randomly not working, and the only way I've been able to figure out how to get it working again (aside from restarting) is by pressing ctrl+alt+f2, and then ctrl+alt+f7. [Using a Dell Latitude E7440 with Ubuntu 19.04, and I do update/upgrade regularly via terminal]. [15:35] Advise/suggestions? [15:39] Bob-Obo: that sounds suspiciously like some application/process is grabbing input focus and not releasing it [15:40] Ok..... === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [16:01] using gpg and trying to import a secret personal key and it will not import into my secret keyring. I have attempted to trust it ultimate. any advise? [16:04] henninb: are you sure you're importing a secret key and not just the pubkey of the secret key/ [16:06] teward: I am sure it is a secret key. It has a password, but I am never prompted [16:06] how were you attempting to import? [16:06] teward: gpg --import private.key [16:09] teward: I may have figured it out. I think I have to import as follows: gpg --batch --import private.key [16:09] now it shows on my secret keyring. === hexo is now known as mekdolan [16:29] TJ: so any possible solutions? [16:32] Bob-Obo: compare with 18.04 LTS maybe as a test? [16:36] they folks, i have a script which i would like to start when the system starts after network has been loaded using systemctl. the script works when i run systemctl restart myservice, but i cannot get it to run on its own. here is my units file https://pastebin.com/YR2bHPNi [16:50] gavimobile, did you enable it? (systemctl enable myservice.service) [16:52] gavimobile: did you 'enable' your service? [16:52] doh, rfm beat me to it :) [16:55] rfm: TJ- yes, [16:56] here is the output for systemctl status myservice [16:56] https://pastebin.com/AQ07AUHX [16:56] gavimobile: did you confirm the symlink was created as expected? "ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/" [16:57] TJ-: i dont recall if i saw any output when enabling the service [16:57] TJ-: how can i fix this? [16:57] or verify it at least [16:57] gavimobile: also, "sudo" in your script is not needed since it is running as root [16:58] TJ-: i removed the sudo, but that shoudnt make any difference [16:59] gavimobile: no, as I said, check if the sym-link exists [16:59] TJ-: where do i check? how can i verify if the link has been created or if it is correct? [17:00] playing a sound.. this page may give a clue to play .wav , After=sound.target https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213751 [17:02] hi - i'm having trouble running some crontabs on startup, & have tried a few different ways. this is the crontab line: `@reboot /home/myusername/scripts/#irc/renew all` - but when i check with `ps -aux | grep renew` its not running after reboot. do i need to invoke bash? [17:03] the script (renew) has execution permissions, & runs normally from invokation in a console. [17:04] hi, what's the journalctl command to show the log about why a daemon is not started ? [17:06] systemctl status name.service - systemctl –failed [17:06] thx [17:06] journalctl -b -0 shows messages from the current boot, journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot [17:07] OerHeks: this post this is exactly what i am trying to do. it isnt clear towards the end of the post what the $D variable is. [17:07] ok thx... but systemctl status name.service doesn't give me clue... is there anything else ? [17:08] it simply say "exited" [17:09] where $D is the sound card device unit. i think that is unnessasary [17:09] after=sound.target should have all sound devices loaded [17:10] Hello, i just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my second hard drive. I have windows on another one and everything works fine on that. After updating Ubuntu however my internet connection stopped working on Ubuntu only [17:10] MMYStic: "systemctl status " and "journalctl -u " [17:10] finnhq: wich network card chipset is that? [17:11] lakitu, there are some strange bits about the environment of a cron job that differ from a console session that can cause scripts to fail. what I've done in the past is put a "set -x" at the top of the script so I get a trace... [17:11] OerHeks: not sure i understand. [17:12]
