[00:00] OerHeks, it looks like the error is Failed to get properties: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) [00:03] what does "dpkg -l systemd" (in another terminal / tty) report your systemd version is? [00:04] question when you have a moment, in prep for reload of the system with fresh OS, I would like to take an inventory of the installed packages so that I can compare it to what the new base install has [00:04] tomreyn, https://pastebin.com/YBU56KAE [00:04] that way I can identify what is missing and make sure not to miss anything [00:04] what is the command line to query apt for the full list of installed pkgs? [00:05] apt list --installed [00:05] ty sir [00:05] abtm: the output of dpkg --get-selections can be fed into dpkg --set-selections -- but dpkg -l | cat is another option [00:05] hmm systemd 237-3ubuntu10.24 is up to date for bionic. [00:06] based o the timeouts i assumed this could be https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916678 [00:06] Debian bug 916678 in systemd "systemd: Caught , dumped core as pid 2097" [Important,Fixed] [00:09] ty sirs [00:09] saved all of the outputs [00:10] abtm: 'debfoste'r only lists those packages manually installed. [00:11] abtm: 'debfoster'. [00:11] adding that to output [00:27] any idea how to get netplan to work with a VLAN with DHCP? [00:27] this is what I have now [00:27] network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: [00:27] ens7: match: macaddress: 5a:00:02:2f:5a:14 [00:27] mtu: 1450 set-name: ens7 vlans: vlan20: [00:27] link: ens7 id: 20 dhcp4: true [00:28] wow that did not format well, but this does not work, not getting a dhcp address [00:28] rshah_sp, please use pastebin [00:29] rshah_sp: is there a DHCP server on the VLAN? [00:29] https://pastebin.com/login [00:29] https://pastebin.com/ik9epkjR [00:29] yes, there is a DHCP server on vlan [00:29] and if I move the dhcp4: true to the section under interface (not under vlan), I get a DHCP address from the Default VLAN DHCP server [00:29] rshah_sp: check the systemd-networkd journal for clues... it may be requesting a lease and not getting a reply [00:31] TJ- good idea, checking [00:32] Where can I find that information? I've never checked that before [00:32] I think I ahve to request the logfile be generated right? [00:33] got it actually [00:35] https://pastebin.com/D9HJ2ArQ [00:35] here is all the info re vlan20 which I am trying to use [00:37] Seems it is trying to get a DHCP4, but not getting one [00:37] but I don't see an error [00:40] rshah_sp: time to enable debug output from systemd-networkd I think... one nice thing when using NetworkManager instead, is, it uses dhclient and that reports each request in the log so you can easily tell if it's requesting and not getting a reply [00:42] I can switch to networkmanager, no reason I was using networkd as far as I know [00:44] netplan generator puts the systemd-networkd config in /run/systemd/network/ --- might be worth double-checking those look sane, but the log seems to show vlan20 is trying to get a lease, so I'd put tcpdump on that vlan and watch the packets, see if systemd-networkd is sending requests and not getting replies [00:45] what are some things you can do on AWS that you can't really do yourself on any other platform? [00:51] TJ- https://pastebin.com/G2WNmPtS [00:53] So it does appear that I anm stuck in a catch 22 I can't do anything because of this error Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' and I can't find a solution [00:53] TJ- https://pastebin.com/rp4sDYCM [00:55] hello friends, would anyone know why I can close out chromium and work for hours and then later bring it up and it's telling me it crashed and I can recover my last site visited? I'm not seeing any crashing when I close the browser at all and am just confused. [00:56] rshah_sp: so you're not seeing replies? [00:56] it appears no, not when the dhcp4: true is in the VLAN section. when I move that line to the interface section, I see a reply from my dhcp server [00:57] i'm diagnosing on the dhcp server end now to see what it is doing when the request comes in [00:57] I"m using PfSense [00:58] rshah_sp: on both the client is broadcasting a request (0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255) so the reply isn't coming in [00:58] seems to be the case. [00:58] should the client be including the VLAN tag when it sends out the request? [00:59] rshah_sp: the client won't know about the VLAN, its just an ethernet link as far as it is concerned [00:59] and by client you mean the Ubuntu box? [00:59] rshah_sp: yes, and specifically the dhcp client on that [01:00] so what does defining the VLAN in netplan do? [01:00] rshah_sp: creates a systemd.netdev config in /run/systemd/network/ [01:01] got it. As far as I can tell, PfSense is not even receiving the DHCP request [01:01] it receives it when I have dhcp4: true in the interface section [01:01] but not in the vlan section [01:04] hi, i have a problem. i just installed ubuntu mate, but when i want to play music with rhytmbox, it is no sound, even though it is full volume. how to fix it? [01:08] rshah_sp: so the vlan config at one end or the other is broken [01:08] rshah_sp: is it passing through a switch? are ports tagged/untagged ? [01:09] Not passing through a switch, it's connected directly to PfSEnse [01:09] and to throw a wrench into this, this is all on Vultr ( similar to Digital Ocean ) [01:10] I just opened a ticket, I'm not sure what they use for their Virtual NICs, so it may be that this might not work at all if PfSense cannot properly handle the VLANs [01:10] hi, any can help me?

[07:19] is the wifi device "seen" in the hardware list, can you interact with the device ? [07:19] yeah, like the wifi drivers or something... can't conncet via wifi [07:20] can you interact / configure the wifi device though ? [07:21] yeah, i typed inconfig wlan0 [07:21] ifconfig wlan0 [07:22] so it's great that you can see the device, so it's unlikley you'll need software [07:22] how are you trying to configure the wifi ? [07:23] well, i can see the 0wlan [07:23] sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid name key password and press Enter [07:23] didn't work [07:24] it says i would need sudo apt install wireless-tools [07:26] really ?

I know pkexec is highly recommended these days, but that doesn't work well with Gedit for example? [12:00] I used to use gksu before but, that's not available in the repos any longer [12:01] zteam, what 's the problem with gedit ? [12:03] ioria, it doesn't know which display to run on. This is on Xorg, no Wayland or some fancy stuff [12:05] zteam, pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY gedit [12:06] ioria, of course, I could cheat and just do sudo -i gedit for example... But, you are not supposed to be doing this :) [12:06] ok [12:08] ioria, That one actually works great :) but the syntax is pretty messy (at least for a distrubution aimed at user-friendly-ness :) [12:08] zteam, raccomended way is : gedit admin:///path/to/file.txt [12:08] i have nautilus-admin installed, to open files with priv. [12:09] or that ^ [12:13] OerHeks, true, there are ways around it, I'm just a bit suprised that there isn't a clean solution (like gksu) avaialable after all these years... (If you use Wayland do it like this... If you use Xorg do it like this... if you wanto to use application like synaptic do in a different way [12:14] it is in the releasenotes, not to edit files as root as you used to, anymore.

[12:35] Ok, found my answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/269606/apt-get-count-the-number-of-updates-available [12:36] black_13: and so we can't help you installing gcc-4.4.7 here [12:36] or you can't [12:36] ioria, exactly, thats why it propably is going to eat alot of disk space, [12:37] zteam: about your questions: there's cron-apt, which sends mail, but it doesn't do so in the very format you get to see when you login [12:38] apw: Any chances for a kernel PPA build in a foreseeable time? [12:38] tomreyn, thanks but you are confusing me with someone else, I have loads questions, bot none about that :D [12:38] OerHeks? [12:38] zteam: right, sorry [12:39] jost: there's cron-apt, which sends mail, but it doesn't do so in the very format you get to see when you login [12:39] tomreyn: The mail should contain a lot more things, like RAID status and so on, so that is not an option unfortunately [12:39] black_13, just test the tool, that's all we can say, if you don't have a machine to do it on, backup your harddrive or use Vmware or Virtualbox [12:42] ioria, OerHeks, Sorry for being such a Whiner, you were actaully really helpful :) [12:42] no problem [12:42] tomreyn, no problem man :) [12:42] jost: the messages shown upon login are generated by landscape-client(-common), i think [12:44] tomreyn: yes, something like that - I want only the information about updates, and that can be generated using `/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable`. Or without --human-readable for easier scripting [12:44] jost: so script it then. ;) [12:44] ioria, I have been figting with gdm for about 6 months now,most of the time, it starts completly as expected, sometimes (about once i a week, I have to start it manually [12:45] :D [12:45] jost: you're just managing a smaller number of servers then? [12:46] tomreyn: Yes, only one - no need for an actual monitoring system [12:46] ah ok [12:47] zteam, you can increase the debug level in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf [12:48] derjohn_was_occu: i think there was some breakage, it's being worked on, and there'll be new builds soon, probably today or tomorrow. [12:49] so live session means you select "try ubuntu" after booting from the installation usb right? [12:49] ioria, thanks, but last time I checked here, I had loads of dubious messages, in the syslog :) [12:50] then how do you remove all partitions and rewrite the GPT/MBR ? [12:50] zteam, use journalctl [12:50] testubuntu, gparted [12:51] ioria, will Google that, thank you :D [12:52] OerHeks, what did you mean start disks? [12:52] testubuntu: a standard installation ("remove all data and install ubuntu") will overwrite the partition table anyways. so you can just do that. [12:52] tomreyn does that rewrite the GPT? [12:52] or MBR [12:53] testubuntu: yes, GPT or MBR is the partition table. [12:53] testubuntu, do you want to get rid of Ubuntu in favor of Windows? or do you want to reinstall Ubuntu? === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [12:53] MBR is the master boot record [12:53] i want to format and get rid of everything [12:53] then install ubuntu [12:54] testubuntu: you're right, this wasn't an accurate answer, but the MBR would also be overwritten [12:55] testubuntu, if you chosse clean install it will erase all content of that Disk [12:56] that's also not perfectly accurate, but probably a good enough answer to testubuntu's supposed needs. [12:56] i asked this question earlier but testubuntu seems to have missed it (understandable, there were many replies): do you need to ensure the data on there is not (potentially) easily restorable (secure deletion) or do you just need to start from a clean slate? [12:59] tomreyn clean slate [12:59] i got this tower from a guy [12:59] there is ubuntu 18 already installed on it and his files are there [12:59] i don't want to restore [13:00] testubuntu: so the answer remains the same: just do a complete new installation [13:00] also it was suggested to delete the MBR to remove rootkits [13:01] hello i am trying to netinstall a debian system on my spare machine using my main machine which is UBUNTU. i followed this guide https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s05.en.html [13:01] testubuntu: if you select the installer option to remove ubuntu and all data and install then the boot loader will be replaced. [13:01] testubuntu, MBR is deleted automatically by Ubuntu if you choose a clean installation (as is all other cotent on that disk) :-) [13:02] yet i am not able to install [13:02] thanks [13:02] dajju: we only support ubuntu installations here. unless you need help with writing the iso file to an installer storage please aks in #debian or ##linux [13:03] ok [13:05] dajju: oh apparently you mean pxe boot, not debian netinstall (which is, first of all, an installer iso). if you are looking on setting up a pxe or tftpd server on ubuntu then #ubuntu is the right place. [13:06] yes pxeboot [13:07] i have accordingly install tftpd-hpa package for tftp server [13:08] BBL :) === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit === JanC is now known as Guest31310 [13:10] dajju: as the debian manual says (this should also apply to hosting these services on ubuntu) you'll need either a dhcp or bootp server, and a tftp server. [13:11] omg [13:11] So i had finally given up with ubuntu since it over heats thought i'd try last straw [13:11] it seems to run as it is required i.e. i can downlaod files from tftp server (as tested on different device). but when i boot my spare system it show an error that could not get boot file name. I have installed isc-dhcp-server for dhcp server and config according to manual [13:12] and contact asus... their response was "We cannot advice for unsupported operating system, sorry" [13:12] ...great! [13:14] dajju: i don't think you said which ubuntu version you're running, but an ubuntu server 18.04 LTS manual for configuring a dhcp server is available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dhcp.html [13:15] Jonopoly: that's a pity, but a pretty standard response. please also keep in mind this channel is just for ubuntu support, you can discuss things in #ubuntu-discuss, though. if you have more questions about configuring ubuntu on your system, ask away. [13:15] Okay thanks tomreyn [13:16] I don't think i can use it for now sadly [13:16] my ubuntu version is 19.04 [13:16] dajju: then it's https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/dhcp.html [13:16] the list of sound devices is empty, in pacontrol, what could have happened ? [13:16] I suspect this has to do with using bluetooth but disabling bluetooth did not help [13:17] https://privatebin.net/?eb4da2cb5d09a788#2TUpDXskz2PqQSCYzTtF5wSBoqzbF8146KAkhew4SvTz my /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file [13:17] !audio | strk [13:17] strk: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [13:18] there is no "Hardware" panel in the "Volume applet" === JanC_ is now known as JanC [13:18] Jonopoly: i don't remember whether i tired to help you, yet, but feel free to post a log of booting ubuntu (journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999) and to sum up the issues you experience. [13:19] i don't have laptop with me atm, pretending to work at work [13:19] strk: which ubuntu version are you on? [13:19] tomreyn: i'll have to reinstall it again to try any safe distro you reccommend trying? [13:19]
