[00:09] Anybody a fan of Aptitude? I've used it for years, but 0.8.10 is giving me too much grief. [00:12] !aptitude | gbellinoz_ [00:12] gbellinoz_: Like apt and apt-get, aptitude is a terminal frontend for Ubuntu's package management system. Unlike the others, it is not recommended in Ubuntu because its behavior differs significantly from other Ubuntu package management tools and can cause issues. [00:12] I've used it for 10 years... never a problem. [00:13] Until this latest version... only recommends additional installations to remedy conflicts, rather than removing more stuff, which is usually what I want to do. [00:13] What I like about it over apt and apt-get is the conflict resolution. Not sure how to do that as nicely with apt/apt-get. [00:14] as the above note suggests, aptitude and other apt utilities have diverted a bit, to the point i owouldn't recommend using aptitude anymore. such as how held packages are handled. [00:14] Alright, I'll quit using it. [00:14] everything but aptitude does it one way, and then aptitude does it a different way, and doesn't understand how the rest does it, [00:15] Huh. [00:15] Alright, abandoning it right... now. [00:15] So, interactive conflict resolution... best practices with apt/apt-get? [00:15] non-interactive ;) [00:16] you read what it outputs and act accordingly [00:16] alright. It just removed CUPS happily... sort of offering one resolution, which seemed OK to me. [00:16] aptitude USED TO BE great for this, offering several possible solutions. [00:17] i used it, too, some 10 years ago [00:17] Unix used to be by and for dinosaurs :) [00:18] CHANGE. sigh :) [00:19] us dinosaurs still use it :) [00:19] TfknREX here [00:19] it's just nice to be able to have more than twenty open file descriptors per process [00:20] ok, everybody , remember the old days when you could set up networking via conf files in /etc? ;) [00:20] oh, and mount showed actual disks? [00:20] cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/rdma type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,rdma) [00:20] fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) [00:21] Alight, complain mode off. 20 years of linux, and still love it. [00:28] Survival essentials for CUPS? I start twitching whenever I have to do an upgrade, because it's usually hours to get CUPS to work again. Still not completely working on 18.04. bonjour/samba/IPP, local CUPS daemon, cups client, driverless... I don't have a good feel for all the pieces, nor the minimalist approach to use. [00:32] gbellinoz_: heh, that's another one.. to get a printer to work on lp was usually just copy-paste the line from the previous computer. ONE LINE. [00:32] of course if you made the mistake of buying a non-postscript printer you were raked over the coals [00:32] Alright, the twitching just spread to my eyelid. [00:36] looks like adding a printer via gnome-control-panel just does it via the local cups server... and does it wrong somehow, creating both a local "raw printer" and a remote, neither destination works... [01:09] I'm assuming the do-release-update mechanism is broken ATM? [01:16] is there a way to install iptables 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 on 16.04? [01:27] Thete: if do-release-upgrade doesn't work, do-release-upgrade -d may work [01:28] that sets to dev channel though doesn't it? [01:28] not wanting to run nightlies [01:29] yeah, but there's no focal listed in https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development so eoan would be selected [01:29] Thete: which upgrade are you trying to do? [01:29] 19.04 -> 19.10 [01:29] and do-release-upgrade does not offer it? [01:29] nope [01:29] if you run do-release-upgrade -c what does it say? [01:29] neither does GUI even though pop-up keeps popping up to upgrade [01:29] lemme check 1 sec [01:31] says "New release '19.10' available." [01:32] but when I do do-release-upgrade, it says "Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading". Everything is up to date [01:32] I'm guessing the updater package hasn't been pushed yet? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:32] all of my computers are doing this [01:34] Thete: hmm so sudo apt update doesn't list any warnings or errors and sudo apt full-upgrade doesn't want to do anything, and lists several 0s on the bottom? [01:34] i.e. it shuodld say exactly "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [01:34] correct [01:35] no updates [01:35] and no warnings or errors on apt update? [01:35] no warnings and errrors [01:35] no custom repos, no ppa's etc [01:35] which mirror are you using? [01:36] how do i check what soundcard i have? [01:37] us.archive.ubuntu.com [01:37] zaapiel: lshw -c sound [01:38] Thete, gmm, i'm not sure then. maybe try this: when you install apt-forktracer and run it, does it output anything? [01:38] hmm [01:39] no, nothing [01:40] Thete: can you post this? sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 sarnold: any other ideas? i guess i'm overdebugging and you already provided an answer [01:42] (or a sufficiently good workaround) [01:42] tomreyn: hmm I thought the "install all available updates" thing was a blocker at this point [01:42] tomreyn: and without sorting out where that's coming from I'm not sure what next step could keep going [01:42] as in, a bug? [01:42] it sure oculd be, I wanted to see the pastebin :) [01:43] hmm yes this might be good to see. [01:45] tomreyn: I'm about to head out for the night.. maybe busted proxy? busted firewall? without an error message from something I'm pretty thin on ideas [01:46] yes, good thinking there [01:46] tomreyn: different machine that I'm on with irc but having same issue http://termbin.com/6yk2 [01:46] sarnold: ttyl [01:47] Thete: that's a fancy mix of apt sources [01:48] yeah that's kind of all over the place, but I'd still hope for a concrete error message of some sort ;( [01:49] no custom repos, no ppa's etc [01:49] you said this earlier, does it apply to the other computers then? [01:49] since it doesn#t apply to this one [01:55] Thete: check also that the output of "date" makes sense [01:57] either way, the problem persists on all of them [01:57] I'm going to assume, the updater package hasn't been pushed yet [02:14] anyone using landscape here? How much does it cost to run landscape on premise? [02:15] I see that 10 machines is free [02:18] Hi. I am using Ubuntu and I have a slave hard disk with my projects and files, but when I try to open files from that disk, I cannot save changes until I copy the file to the hard disk where I have installed Ubuntu. I want to know how can I change permission or something that allow me to work with files in my slave hard disk. Any advice you can [02:18] share with me? [02:24] hey.. Saint Vincent College really good... i found something good in their scientific article. [02:28] DirtyEar: What is the file system on that slave hard disk ? [02:29] Bashing-om: Thanks. I am not shure, but I think is NTFS [02:34] DirtyEar: Best to know what shows ' sudo parted -l '? IF NTFS then one approach: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab . [02:35] Bashing-om: Thanks. I just write this on my terminal and I think it works: sudo mount -o remount,uid=raices,gid=raices,rw /dev/sdb2 [02:36] Now I see the icons without the padlock [02:36] But I am not shure if I have to do it every time I restart my pc [02:37] DirtyEar: I have never seen the ownership options as such - but I am notWindows Literate- : generally see something like "defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,". [02:40] DirtyEar: Is it your goal to only mount the data drive on demand from the terminal? [02:41] Bashing-om: I think I really need your help. I want to work with files in my secondary disck, but everytime I try to open some file it says "not allowed" and when it opens I cannot save changes [02:41] This is what I get from terminal https://pastebin.com/enpSC5tk [02:43] Bashing-om: Is it your goal to only mount the data drive on demand from the terminal? - I want to used everytime in order to save all my fwork there and the ubuntu live in my principal hard disk [02:43] DirtyEar: The disk I want to use is it the named "DirtyEar" [02:48] DirtyEar: Tge question remians: mount on demand OR auto mount when booted ? [02:48] The* [02:49] Bashing-om: Auto mount sound really good [02:49] *sounds [02:50] DirtyEar: Then one uses the /etc/fstab to automount. Follow the link given above :) [02:51] Bashing-om: This one https://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab, right? [02:51] DirtyEar: Yes - that will get you sorted. [03:03] Do the apt* tools manipulate the dpkg database? So dpkg is lowest level, apt* are more use-facing, and handle downloads? [03:03] hello [03:04] gbellinoz_, yes [03:05] cool, thanks bomex. I've used them both for years, just have never understood their relationship to each other. [03:07] gbellinoz_, dpkg is like a father and apt* are there children [03:08] gbellinoz_, don't ask me where the mother is 😉 [03:08] deselect! [03:08] dselect, I mean. [03:09] That's probably the grandma. [03:09] are *his* children [03:09] yeah, probably the grandmother haha [03:11] gbellinoz_, any idea how to make a PR request for a Ubuntu package (python-apt)? [03:11] Bashing-om: I am not sure what I have to do. I have this https://pastebin.com/HTa4B2Q7 on my terminal in order to know ID. And this is what I have in the /etc/fstab file https://pastebin.com/GjiRV0R1. May you help me to do this? [03:12] DirtyEar: Looking, [03:13] bomex: are PR's how it's done for Ubuntu packages? I'd be asking these folks: [03:13] apt-cache show python-apt | egrep -i 'Maintainer:|Bugs' [03:14] gbellinoz_, I wanna fix a typo in python-apt... how to make and then send the PR to be commited to the master branch? [03:15] https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt ? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [03:22] DirtyEar: Working as root - Not at all in my comfort zone. What do get when booted into "your" user account from ' getent passwd raices ' ? where raices I expect is your user name. [03:25] Bashing-om Yes raices is the username in my ubuntu. What I get is this https://pastebin.com/8f6GiCvu [03:28] since upgrading to 19.10 my laptop often gets very hot. right now it is running the fans full speed and the bottom is too hot to touch. `top` says a couple of chrome processes are using 20-60% CPU intermittently, and nothing else using uch. `powertop` says my wifi card is using 25W, bluetooth 10W, display backlight 100mW, everything else 0mW, and of the 0mW processes chrome and gnome-shell are the only ones [03:29] over 100ms/s. What can I do to figure out what's causing all this heat? [03:29] sorry, my irc client ate random words and letters from that :/ [03:29] DirtyEar: No idea of what we are working with per that output. Is this a bare metal install of ubuntu ? [03:30] Bashing-om: I am using ubuntuStudio 19.10, is it something missing? [03:32] xsensors reports my cpu package and core temps are 64-78C [03:33] DirtyEar: Got me -- as my output " sysop@x1804mini:~$ getent passwd sysop >> sysop:x:1000:1000:Billy Quinn,,,:/home/sysop:/bin/bash " . I have no idea of why yours is not similar IF it is "you" that has rights to adinistration of the system. [03:57] I am back but the no fixed the situation [04:05] I am looking for something to use my secundary hard disk with permissions to write. Is there any advice. I have trying for some hours and I cannot fixed that [04:08] DirtyEar: Again - do you have administrative rights ? pastebin ' groups ; getent passwd $USER' Then we see what the file systems are on the data drive, and set the mount in /etc/fstab. [04:10] Bashing-om: Thanks I really appreciate what you do. I get this https://pastebin.com/tBFYhqtL [04:14] DirtyEar: Great, Next then is confirming the target file system(s). pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' please. [04:16] Bashing-om: I get this: https://pastebin.com/F6utt2TT [04:19] Bashing-om: My primary disk is 500gb solid, and the secunday one is 1Tb [04:20] DirtyEar: Abd the target to mount is /dev/sdb2, Datos básicos de Microsoft - Yes ? [04:22] Yes, the disk is /dev/sbd2. Only contains files to work. [04:23] I mean, my computer comes with Windows 10 and I installed Ubuntu in the same disk (disk 500 gb 250 to windos 250 to ubuntu) [04:24] DirtyEar: And now we need to define a mount point in order to mount sdb2. I prefer that to be in /mnt - OK ? [04:24] And the 1Tb disk only contains projects and files from my work. [04:25] Bashing-om: Yes it is right [04:25] The directory already exists [04:27] DirtyEar: Good then we mount from /mnt. Pastebin ' ls -al /mnt ' so we know what mount points are presently established, so as to not to overwrite a mountpoint. [04:30] I got this: https://pastebin.com/dRVCB75b [04:30] Bashing-om: I got this: https://pastebin.com/dRVCB75b [04:33] DirtyEar: Good, nothing to overwrite :) ... Make the mount point ' sudo mkdir /mnt/windows '. then we make sure next a certain package is installed, find the UUID of sdb2, and edit /etc/fstab ( after making a backup!). [04:35] Bashing-om: I got this: https://pastebin.com/79YFLyGc [04:35] Bashing-om: How can I know the UUID of sdb2? [04:37] DirtyEar: Good - pastebin ' dpkg -l ntfs-3g ' . As we want to use that package, we make sure it is installed. [04:38] DirtyEar: we get to the UUID next :) [04:39] Bashing-om: Ok. I got his: https://pastebin.com/RqadhWVe [04:41] DirtyEar: Yup ntfs-3g is available :)..now for the UUID; pastebin ' sudo blkid ' . [04:42] DirtyEar: I got this: https://pastebin.com/J3bsHJ2X [04:43] Is this CC88F7ED88F7D444, right? [04:46] DirtyEar: correct that is the UUID we need, OK now we edit /etc/fstab - always be safe and make a backup ! .. How about ' sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak22oct2019 '? [04:48] It sounds good.

Is it right https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/x7Wvrt46xV/ [04:57] DirtyEar: Yeah, looks good to me..check that the system likes it ' sudo mount -a ' . after saving the file.

[05:08] DirtyEar: Yep ..not lyeing tous :).. the correct UUID is "CC88F7ED88F7D444" that is 2 Cs at the start of the UUID :) [05:09] Bashing-om: Ok.

I left my system to upgrade last night only to coe back this morning with it not complete but waiting for me to answer a question. [08:29] isomari: The following command upgrades to the new stable release without prompts: do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive [08:29] thanks [08:29] isomari: This sort of thing is called "unattended" installation/upgrade, that's the word for future googling [08:30] I know. I just didn't know how to do it for this installation. [08:30] thanks [08:30] rory, any clues or ideas? [08:42] This is a mystery tbh [08:42] I found this very verbose "lshw" command though [08:42] it shows my laptop batteries, so it might show your mystery device [08:44] some of the posts I have read online claim that do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive does not work properly. Some even say it messed up their installation. Is this true? [08:44] isomari: it's all possible, especially if you have custom config changes. [08:45] blindly accepting the default setting is always going to have its dangers, it's the nature of the beast if you have a very custom system [08:45] that when the release upgrade goes, some default configs could possibly be upgraded or missing values needed [08:45] understood. thanks [08:45] if you had custom boot loader settings or something, you could potentially overwrite those during do-release-upgrade [08:46] that would be the most annoying thing to deal with. other stuff probably less important [08:46] i'll just make sure I'm around. thanks. [08:47] rory, heres lshw https://pastebin.com/Cwe47C6L [08:47] logical name: wlp9s0f3u3 [08:48] jeeze that's a wifi name if i've ever seen one [08:48] groks, lol right?! [08:48] well it's definitely USB [08:49] glitchd: you have the model of the wifi module you bought? [08:49] possible that the m2. wifi port is using that usb chipset [08:49] is it possible you have a very small wifi adaptor plugged into a USB port and forgot? [08:49] i've made stupider mistakes [08:50] rory: I forgot i had something similar happened and had a hub behind my PC. [08:50] tracker is like the walking dead. except even shooting it in the head doesn't stop it. How on earth can I kill that damn beast? [08:50] Took me >1day to figure that was still plugged in [08:50] rory, the only usb type things that i have plugged in are a nano usb dongle for my mouse/keyboard and a wireless controller receiver. [08:50] rory, no, i just checked again. [08:51] groks, i did buy any wifi adapters or equipment. i shouldnt have wifi. [08:51] nothing I tried in google works. I even deleted the binaries but they respawn on their own. [08:51] ah then you dont [08:51] that wireless adapter is for your remote [08:51] groks, yea, i know lol [08:52] crazy that it shows up as a wifi-adapter [08:52] groks, but then why is it displaying the wifi networks around me? [08:52] but you can set it to link-local [08:52] your desktop is? [08:52] quick check for you [08:52] groks, yes, the computer im on right now [08:52] iwlist wlp9s0f3u3 scan [08:53] you can install that utility and nuke it later [08:53] groks, yes that command listed all the nearby wifi networks [08:53] or iw dev wlp9s0f3u3 scan [08:53] okay [08:53] so that mediatek is indeed a wifi module as well as your remote dongle. [08:54] groks, ok im gonna unplug it and see if wifi goes away then [08:54] it should [08:54] funny part is the different models of it support the wireless xbox controller [08:54] https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/MT76x2U.html listed here [08:54] groks, lmao it did. i swear the last time i tried that, the networks still showed [08:55] probably cached until NM refreshed [08:55] groks, thats what it is. its an xbox one wireless controller receiver. [08:55] so problem solved, yeehaw [08:55] ah, haha [08:55] digging for docs is a pita [08:55] especially when it comes to drivers [08:55] no doubt [08:56] this thing just worked out of the box [08:56] an added bonus is that i dont need to buy a wifi dongle now lol [08:56] haha for sure [08:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1849276 please help me too :( [08:56] Launchpad bug 1849276 in linux (Ubuntu) "alfa-AWUS036ACH wifi usb adapter not working" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:56] won't probably be as fast [08:57] groks, meh no worries, this thing stays plugged into the router anyways [08:57] Hello! Is that possible to run linux app under Wine? I'm curious of git.exe integration with other apps, but Cygwin's git.exe doesn't work under wine [08:57] omg I even saw xbox in the search results and didn't put 2 and 2 together :) Nice one folks [08:57] rory: haha [08:58] slavanap: don't know and havent tried, but I figure there are some libraries required that aren't included in wine for git.exe to work [08:58] rory groks, i had my suspicions but i wasnt certain [08:59] but like i said, i swear that last time i was trying to figure this out, i unplugged that adapter and the wifi stayed. no matter, thx guys. much appreciated. [08:59] adios! [09:00] slavanap: some of those wifi modules aren't capable of going into promiscuous mode (e.g. the tools you're trying to run won't work) [09:00] you'll want an intel or atheros based card for that kind of stuff. [09:00] and not promoting wifi hacking around here. [09:01] groks, maybe someone here knows wine support channel, because my git.exe for portable git I've download from git-scm.com just crashes all the time [09:01] slavanap: bah meant to type boktan for the wifi thing haha [09:01] 2am brain is retiring [09:02] slavanap: whats the error when it crashes? [09:02] groks was the message about capable to me? [09:02] Some internal exception. Will take a screenshot. [09:02] boktan: correct [09:02] slavanap: just run it from cli and pastebin [09:03] my external wifi was working perfect on kali linux i dont think it haves a problem but i think ubuntu have some problems because of the driver from repo works NOTHİNG even the light is not blinking then i install it from github it is now part of working [09:03] groks [09:04] boktan: ah, what kernel version is kali on? [09:04] might be a kernel issue with that particular driver and the default ubuntu one [09:05] boktan: might be the driver is available in the Drivers tool in Ubuntu, and not installed by default due to licensing or space requirements? Whereas Kali pretty much doesn't care about that stuff, and will bundle everything in their massive iso [09:05] rory: yeah was my thoughts as well [09:05] kali is like "Lets pile all this on here and call it a day" [09:06] it's designed to be run as a live environment so it needs all the things [09:06] 5.3.0-19-generic groks [09:06] I don't think that is the case, the rtl8812au code is open source [09:08] groks, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Hxb35Z3NFc/ [09:08] groks one guy suggest me to do this: https://github.com/v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon/wiki/Consistent%20Network%20Device%20Naming [09:08] this wifi name problem i have too mentioned on that link [09:09] boktan: just read something [09:10] sudo apt remove realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms; sudo apt autoremove; sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms; unplug the wifi module, and then plug it back in, verify [09:11] this topic i read and tryed already i know from where you see it :D groks [09:11] and realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms not have in ubuntu repo [09:11] rtl88xxau-dkms have [09:11] that should be fine [09:11] yeah and i tryed it already [09:12] after i did fresh install [09:12] and nothing, does dmesg even detect it being plugged in? [09:12] yes :D [09:12] that driver on ubuntu repo not working [09:13] If you see your wireless card named as wlx00c0ca9208dc or any similar name, yeah you are affected and probably you'll have some issues using airgeddon while changing mode of your card. [09:13] it says on airgeddon link [09:14] and exactly this i have now :/ [09:14] I am running a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 LTS (server) with xrdp & ubuntu-mate. When in RDP I want to logoff, i get kicked back to the session after ~30 sec. Anyone has experience with it ? [09:15] boktan: in terminal> sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link [09:15] boktan: then reboot and see if wifi is wlan0 [09:19] i did GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" now my wlan names are normal :D [09:22] One more question from me: what's the simplest way to build and install custom kernel in Ubuntu. I need this commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=12e36d98d3e5acf5fc57774e0a15906d55f30cb9 [09:22] If it's possible to rebuild just iwlwifi module, that'd be great [09:23] slavanap: Building only the iwlwifi/iwlmvm modules is possible [09:23] jeremy31: yeah was just gonna say that [09:24] How? [09:24] slavanap: download kernel source code, apply patch and build modules [09:25] `dpkg -S /usr/lib/modules/5.3.0-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko` does not show the owner of module binary... [09:28] slavanap: You might want to check iwlwifi-backports and see if the commit is there [09:32] jeremy31, my furute isn't that bright: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YV2VnTqJQz/ [09:34]
