| tehwizard | Hello | 00:02 |
| phocking | i just installed system-config-kickstart | 00:03 |
| phocking | everything installed without error, but it dumps core when i try to run it | 00:03 |
| phocking | libglade-WARNING **: 15:51:49.379: Could not load support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 00:03 |
| sarnold | phocking: try installing libgnomeui-0 | 00:04 |
| tehwizard | I am not familiar with system-config-kickstart.. but it sounds like you don't have gnome libraies installed | 00:04 |
| sarnold | I tend to think of both system-config- and kickstart as red hat things. are you sure this is a program you want to use? | 00:05 |
| phocking | tehwizard: yeah i just figured that i would let folks know because i imagine the apt package should have that as a dependency | 00:05 |
| sarnold | holy cow that's actually packaged :) | 00:06 |
| sarnold | TIL | 00:06 |
| phocking | sarnold: this is the accepted answer for creating a headless ubuntu installation medium on askubuntu site: https://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu | 00:06 |
| tehwizard | @phocking you are probably right, but you didn't specify you installed it from apt-get xD That said, I don't know system-config-kickstart at al. | 00:06 |
| phocking | sarnold: i did as you suggested and now i am getting a more fun lengthy error. pastebin? | 00:08 |
| sarnold | phocking: please | 00:09 |
| phocking | https://gist.github.com/phillhocking/c9fb9f1b8f42aaf18b52c784d6907b5b | 00:10 |
| tehwizard | You need the shortn package too :D | 00:11 |
| sarnold | tehwizard: alright how'd you figure that out? :) | 00:12 |
| tehwizard | shortn a little teminal program to shorten urls :D | 00:13 |
| tehwizard | works great | 00:13 |
| sarnold | lol | 00:13 |
| phocking | oh i just have visual mode on all my terminals and just copy paste | 00:13 |
| phocking | in fact, i run windows natively and have the ubuntu instance i am working on as a vm with enhancements so it is full screen on another monitor/isnt jerky/can see the windows volumes | 00:14 |

| tehwizard | you are running as root? is x-server running? or are you just in a shell? | 00:17 |
| phocking | tehwizard: x server is running but i am connected via rdp/xorg | 00:18 |
| sarnold | oh, try connecting with ssh -X perhaps? | 00:19 |
| phocking | so this vm uses xrdp | 00:20 |
| tehwizard | maybe you need xvfb? | 00:20 |
| tehwizard | I think by default Ubuntu doesnt allow root access to your display | 00:23 |
| tehwizard | xhost +si:localuser:root might fix that.. but its probably a better idea to be doing sudo as a user.. | 00:24 |
| tehwizard | But if it is a VM, then maybe its not such a big deal. up to you | 00:25 |

| flog | Im trying to figure out how to get i3lock to run on any action that suspends or hibernates my laptop. | 00:39 |
| flog | Light now i have a hotkey that triggers my i3lock script and then suspends or hibernates. | 00:40 |
| flog | Would like to get this by just closing the laptop lid. | 00:41 |
| sarnold | be aware that most of these kinds of screenlockers won't work if you've got a menu open or using a VM | 00:42 |
| sarnold | part of what I like about i3lock is that it just locks it when you run it, and you know immediately if it worked or not | 00:42 |
| flog | That is a good point. | 00:43 |
| flog | would just be nice to have my laptop locked when closing the lid. | 00:43 |
| flog | Maybe that would be the better way to solve it. | 00:43 |
| sarnold | systemd has some mechanism to do things when lids open or close but I can never find the stupid things when peoiple ask... | 00:44 |
| flog | Not messing with whenever ubuntu suspends/hibernates but trigger it on the lid close state. If that is even possible | 00:44 |
| sarnold | flog: ah there it is, take a look at logind.conf(5) and please report back if you find something, I'd like it too :) | 00:45 |
| flog | What i find in the man page is a bit over my knowledge :/ | 00:49 |
| akk | I don't think you want a lid open/close event, you want a generic resume event. | 00:51 |
| akk | systemd does have one, but I never got it to work (but it's been over a year since I tried, maybe they fixed it). | 00:52 |
| akk | I'd google something like systemd suspend resume | 00:52 |
| flog | Logind seems to have HandleLidSwitch | 00:52 |
| flog | My laptop does suspend when i close the lid. I'd just like it to run i3lock aswell when that happens. | 00:53 |
| flog | I assume that standard ubuntu DE does handle lock on suspend somehow. | 00:53 |
| flog | but now im using i3wm | 00:53 |
| flog | I still have the standard DE installed along with the default login manager if that makes any difference. | 00:54 |

| rfm | chieta, what version of virtualbox? You need 6.0.14 for kernel 5.3. | 02:54 |
| chieta | checking rfm | 03:16 |
| privism | Also Oracle VirtualBox does not provide eoan package yet, I had to remove old dist and reinstall 6.0.14 from Ubuntu eoan repository to make it work. | 03:30 |
| eelstrebor | not sure if it's a problem with ubuntu or vlc - audio is fine through speakers but i only get music but no voice when switching to headphones | 04:06 |
| chieta | ping rfm it works thanks im on 5.3 | 04:07 |
| eelstrebor | i don't think it's a vlc problem since amazon streams using the firefox web browser does the same thing | 04:09 |
| jerichowasahoax` | i've got some filesystems listed in /etc/fstab with the "exec" mount option, but they're still getting mounted noexec when the system boots. Where do I start? | 05:55 |
| tomreyn | jerichowasahoax`: which file system is it? how do you tell they're mounted nonexec? if you sudo mount -o remount,exec one of these file systems, do they mount executable then? | 06:11 |
| jerichowasahoax` | tomreyn: /mnt/*, executing scripts/binaries on those filesystems reports "permission denied", and "sudo mount -o remount,exec ..." allows me to execute files on these filesystems again | 06:16 |
| tomreyn | jerichowasahoax`: hmm, i meant the file system type, like ext4 or vfat, not its mount point | 06:19 |
| jerichowasahoax` | tomreyn: three ntfs-3g and one ext4 | 06:20 |
| tomreyn | and which ubuntu and kernel version is this? | 06:20 |
| jerichowasahoax` | eoan and 5.3.0-18-generic | 06:21 |
| tomreyn | and you're sure it also affectes the ext4 file system? | 06:21 |
| jerichowasahoax` | at least until it's remounted, yes | 06:21 |
| tomreyn | hmm, strange, but they are mounted writable from the start, right? | 06:22 |
| jerichowasahoax` | writable, yes, just not executable | 06:22 |
| tomreyn | is there anything on your logs on the exec mount failing initially? | 06:22 |
| jerichowasahoax` | tomreyn: no, but bootup was 12 hours ago | 06:23 |
| tomreyn | well it'd still be in the systemd journal | 06:24 |
| jerichowasahoax` | tomreyn: is there an fstab in the initrd that i should be paying attention to? i ran update-initramfs after posting my question but i haven't restarted to see if that fixed it | 06:24 |
| tomreyn | but if there isn't, then i'm afraid that's all i could think off | 06:28 |
| sarnold | chieta: btw do-release-upgrade is the far better upgrade mechanism | 06:39 |

| ramsub07 | crond i do not have a PID as it keeps fluctuating | 12:28 |

| Ecko_ | or if you are not root: `ps aux | grep -i apt | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs kill -9` | 12:30 |
| Cheez | i would find out what process is spawning them, see what the parent pid is of the ones that are locking it | 12:30 |

| eelstrebor | pragmaticenigma, headphone jack | 14:06 |
| eelstrebor | butfulake brand | 14:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | eelstrebor, try the headphones in another device, if you get the same muddied sound, your headphones are shot. If not, take a bright flashlight and see if there is any lint/dust build up in the headphone jack on the computer | 14:08 |
| eelstrebor | i tried a headphone set that my son was using and got the same problem | 14:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | if there is build up... use a toothpick or small non-metalic/non-conductive object to try and clear the debris from the jack | 14:08 |
| eelstrebor | pragmaticenigma, the music sounds great it's just that there's no voice | 14:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | It's also possible the jack has broken it's connection with the motherboard (they're not very strong | 14:09 |
| eelstrebor | i have other computers to test with but i don't have time to do that right now - it's strange that this suddenly happened - and the sound setup has a test and i can hear "front left" and "front right" test voice | 14:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | eelstrebor, are you hearing the front left/front right in both sides at the same time? | 14:15 |
| eelstrebor | no | 14:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | eelstrebor, then I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. Short of a reboot of the system. Think about what applications you might have installed recently. Think of any config files you might have changed recently too. | 14:20 |

| pjs | Hey all.. iptables question. For some, I have a box on the local network that is a gateway for a special wifi network. eth0 is 192.168.1.0/24 and wlan0 is 192.168.220.0/24. For some reason I can't ssh into the box from 192.168.1.x network but I can from .220.x network. This used to work fine, and afaik, nothing has changed. Here are the routes and iptables rules: http://dpaste.com/003NSPM | 15:17 |

| lotuspsychje | rapidwave: we dont really support compiling as support, whats the package you are trying to make? you dont find it on the repos/snaps? | 15:50 |
| rapidwave | Nah, it's a package of tools offered as source from a developer website | 15:52 |
| rapidwave | Oh....the libcbase is not in repo | 15:53 |
| rapidwave | Or I cannot find it at least. | 15:53 |
| rapidwave | It's possible the configure script is too old...maybe I can just throw a newer one into the directory? | 15:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | rapidwave, as lotuspsychje already mentioned... this channel focuses on the packages provided through the Ubuntu software repository. If you are compiling from source, you will need to reach out to the developers of the code for assistance. Also, if you are desiring a more recent application than what is available, take a look and see if there is a snap or flatpak already avaialable. | 15:56 |

| revolutionary | hi all. i installed my ubuntu default LUKS options and how can i remove this and re-make with custom options like --iter-time and --use-urandom? | 17:10 |
| revolutionary | or is there any way to change this without remove? | 17:10 |
| s10gopal | !ping | 17:16 |
| ubottu | pong! | 17:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | revolutionary, to the best of my knowledge, you would likely (and have an easier time) starting from scratch | 17:19 |
| lordcirth_ | revolutionary, --use-urandom is only used when generating the master key, which cannot be changed. And I don't know why you'd want to set that after the fact. | 17:19 |
| lordcirth_ | revolutionary, But you can set --iter-time by making a new keyslot with it, then removing the old one. | 17:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | revolutionary, the other option would be to resize the volume, smaller, make a new LUKS volume with the desired settings and copy your data there... I don't know how easily this can be done | 17:20 |
| revolutionary | lordcirth_ i don't want to start from the scratch. i just want to add some options like --iter-time and i want to create my key with --use-urandom, like | 17:20 |
| revolutionary | i just want to change my current LUKS scheme with adding some options. Is there any way to change this? | 17:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | revolutionary, anything you change would only affect the header of the encrypted volume. What concerns do you have? | 17:32 |
| revolutionary | i have concerns about security level | 17:33 |

| IGnorAND | Hi, I have a question about resolvconf | 18:11 |
| IGnorAND | Someone asked me to edit the DNS. | 18:11 |
| IGnorAND | the /etc/resolv.conf indicates that resolvconf generates the file | 18:12 |
| IGnorAND | in the man page I see resolvconf -a IFACE.PROG where IFACE.PROG. What should I place for PROG for dns? | 18:13 |
| IGnorAND | resolv.conf -a eth0.ifup I assume | 18:14 |
| IGnorAND | I then enter lines like nameserver 1.1.1.1 | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | IGnorAND, verions of Ubuntu... latest versions do not use resolv.conf | 18:15 |
| IGnorAND | how do I close/save it? | 18:15 |
| IGnorAND | pragmaticenigma: don't laugh - 14.04 | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | 14.04 reached EOL... it's no longer supported in the Ubuntu channels. | 18:16 |

| IGnorAND | Thanks, I'll go tell them that the dns cannot be fixed | 18:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | IGnorAND, It's not so much that it can't be fixed... it's the fact that system is so old that it is extremely vulnerable to attacks on the internet | 18:17 |
| IGnorAND | pragmaticenigma: it's not an online system | 18:18 |

| dckusr | why doesn't ubuntu provide an "opencv-without-gui" package ? | 18:25 |
| dckusr | If i intall in an empty ubuntu container, the package "opencv-pyhton" it adds 700MB to the container size | 18:25 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | How do I know if my gpu is running? | 18:30 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | I forgot the command 😅 | 18:31 |
| dckusr | what do you mean gpu is running? | 18:31 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | If the display is using my gpu or not? Or is it detected correctly | 18:31 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Also if the drivers are Installed. | 18:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | dckusr, The list of dependencies are here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/python3-opencv ... I'm not seeing anything GUI specific in there | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | The_LoudSpeaker: sudo lshw -C video | 18:32 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | lotuspsychje: Thanks! | 18:33 |
| dckusr | pragmaticenigma: look better, it depends on opencv-highgui which needs libgtk+ which needs all of X | 18:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah, so it does dckusr ... there are ways to block the dependency... though I'm not fmailiar with them personally | 18:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | dckusr, There are these approaches: https://serverfault.com/a/392205 | 18:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | "apt-get --nodeps" which means you have to manually list all the packages you do need. -or- download the primary package and run it with "dpkg --ignore-depends=<packagetoignore>" | 18:39 |
| dckusr | yeah, but since most people who use opencv dont need the small gui aspect, it's a shame it's there isnt such | 18:39 |
| dckusr | especially on days like docker where it adds 700MB | 18:39 |
| dckusr | and people complaint about bloated docker images | 18:40 |
| sarnold | dckusr: the equivs package can help you build a fake package to satisfy dependencies that you don't need | 18:40 |
| sarnold | dckusr: but please do file a bug report about this to ask for the dependency to be downgraded to a recommends | 18:40 |
| dckusr | I think that will be a big issue, as people who want GUI must be used to this workflow (and I dont know if this really is optional or opencv will bork if it doesnt exist) | 18:41 |
| dckusr | would be nice to just have another package for no gui | 18:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | dckusr, packages are built and dependencies are set to meet the needs of the largest audience. When you get into specific use cases such as yours, it's up to the user to determine how you want to build and configure the application. | 18:41 |
| TJ- | Got a weird issue with 19.10 - after install, v5.3 kernels suffer USB disconnects every time a key is pressed on USB keyboard from initramfs onwards. | 18:42 |
| sarnold | whaaaaaaat | 18:43 |
| dckusr | also, why doesn't ubuntu fix on 16.04 LTS the problem, that nvidia drivers + cryptdrive = can't use computer ? | 18:43 |
| dckusr | there are tons of bug reports on it, yesterday it took me 2 HOURS to bypass this bug | 18:43 |
| dckusr | while preping for a presentation :( | 18:43 |
| dckusr | i mean it's not some small usecase, encrpyting hard disk and using nvidia... | 18:44 |
| sarnold | dckusr: what bug number? | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: didnt see that before, what machine brand is that? | 18:44 |
| TJ- | dckusr: encrypting and nvidia have no relationship - do you mean UEFI Secure Boot and nvidia propriatry modules not being signed? | 18:44 |
| TJ- | lotuspsychje: My regular Asus T300CHI - just installed 19.10 alongside 18.04. Keyboard works fine in firmware and in GRUB but it fails s soon as initramfs is reached ... each time a key is pressed the device disconnects and reconnects | 18:45 |
| TJ- | Worked fine for the installer too | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | weird one | 18:46 |
| TJ- | As a result it has broken the ability to do a LUKS unlock from initramfs | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | TJ-: got a dmesg from that? | 18:46 |

| dckusr | TJ-: nop, I mean what I said | 18:49 |
| dckusr | There is a bug when you use the gui spalsh screen , and you have nvidia drivers installed, then it asks for passwords, but typing it, putis it in the wrong terminal | 18:49 |
| dckusr | and you can't login | 18:49 |
| dckusr | let me find you some bug reports | 18:49 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1721988 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 17.10 full disk encryption + Nvidia drivers not booting" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:50 |
| dckusr | it seems that it was fixed in 18.04, but tons of people still use 16.04 | 18:51 |
| dckusr | the "fix" is to disable the gui splash screen on boot (very hard to do, and you need recovery mode) | 18:51 |
| dckusr | sarnold those are the reports | 18:52 |
| TJ- | dckusr: right, I recall that, I worked on it. It's a bug in plymouth which handles user input during boot. The solution is to get rid of the dumbed-down 'splash' screen so it doesn't change VTs | 18:52 |
| dckusr | it took me 2 hours, cause 1.9 hours i was googling in vain to figure out what the issue is | 18:52 |
| dckusr | tj-: yeah, i think for 99% of the people, it means nothing | 18:53 |
| dckusr | TJ- if it was fixed in 18.04 cant it be back ported to 16.04 ? | 18:53 |
| gebbione | oh it looks like it is called baobab | 18:54 |
| dckusr | also another nice bug, if you don't install in 16.04 the HWE, trying to install new nvidia-drivers borks your system as well :( | 18:55 |
| TJ- | dckusr: I don't recall now it was a long time ago, but I think there was some interaction either with the vt_handoff and/or the VT mode | 18:57 |

| Sven_vB | hi! please help me connect my Xenial netbook to my cable ethernet. my netbook has a USB ethernet adapter that shows up as enx… + hex MAC. when I use my yellow LAN cable to connect enx with my Archer D20 wifi "router", everything works, but in the wrong location. so my Archer has a grey cable to port 1 of a noname "5 Poer 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch". switch slot 4 has a white cable to a PC, that connection works. the switch' | 19:14 |
| Sven_vB | s "LNK" LEDs light up for slot 1 and 4. however, when I unplug the white cable and instead plug the yellow cable with enx, my netbook's syslog does not see a link change, and the switch LNK LED 4 stays dark. how to debug? | 19:14 |
| pi0 | pragmaticenigma: i installed openvpn and connected to a provider, i tested my system on a ipleak site and noticed my isp was listed even after i connected to vpn | 19:14 |

| pi0 | sarnold: looks pretty involved i wish i knew openvpn better, not sure how to split tunneling | 19:16 |
| sarnold | Sven_vB: wild guesses: you've got crossover cables or you need crossover cables or you're not using uplink ports properly. the fastest way out of this is to buy a gigabit switch instead, which ought to be able to adapt | 19:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, what sarnold posted may not be required | 19:17 |
| pi0 | does this mean i need to run dnscrypt | 19:18 |
| pi0 | there are so many work arounds not sure which is the least package installtion method | 19:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, No, dnscrypt is something entirely unrelated to what you're trying to solve | 19:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, There will be no packages to install | 19:19 |
| pragmaticenigma | I just need a moment to find the documentation... there is a setting you set in your OpenVPN client config file that forces all traffic, including DNS through the VPN tunnel | 19:19 |
| phocking | i got way far out in the weeds | 19:20 |
| Sven_vB | sarnold, I'd like to reuse my existing hardware if possible, for love of nature. did you mean the yellow cable or are the others relevant as well? | 19:20 |
| phocking | if it was aws/azure/gcp i would use terraform, but this has to go on hyper-v and i figured ansible would be more work/abstraction than just creating the install iso and powershell to create the vm | 19:20 |

| sarnold | Sven_vB: people will often buy a crossover cable in a contrasting colour, but if you don't know what you've got, then you're going to have a very difficult time finding a solution that works | 19:20 |
| phocking | i've been following this and made a lot of progress until i realized this shit from 2012\ | 19:20 |
| Sven_vB | sarnold, I just used them as a shortcut to identify which ones I tested on which link, yellow was the one between enx and the switch. | 19:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, uncomment the line in your openvpn config file "#redirect-gateway def1" to "redirect-gateway def1" | 19:21 |
| Sven_vB | sarnold, good point. I'll check the pinout whether it's crossed. thanks for that reminder! | 19:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, if that doesn't do the trick, you may have to manually add entries for your VPN provider's DNS servers by adding lines similar to: "dhcp-option DNS DNS_IP_ADDRESS" replacing the DNS_IP_ADDRESS" with the IP address provided to you by your VPN provider | 19:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, beyond that, you will need to contact your VPN providers support line for assistance | 19:23 |
| pi0 | pragmaticenigma: is that line does not exist just add it? | 19:23 |
| pi0 | also can you share that link? | 19:24 |
| ak47s | Hi guys. I've got a problem with shortcuts on kubuntu 18.04. I set up hotkey for changing language layout by ctrl+shift, since this moment another shortcuts that contains ctrl+shift+* doesn't work. What the best way to fix it? I found something about this problem, but these solves are too old | 19:24 |
| dckusr | TJ- I see, welp, tough luck for many users :( I was lucky and figured it out | 19:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, yes, you can just add it | 19:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | pi0, It wasn't a link... it's in the inline documentation of the client config file that I'm using for my VPN provider | 19:25 |
| pi0 | oh i see | 19:25 |
| pi0 | thank you going to try it | 19:25 |
| pi0 | brb | 19:25 |
| Sven_vB | sarnold, would it be important to know the crossed-ness of the cable between switch and archer as well? | 19:25 |
| sarnold | Sven_vB: yeah; that'd determine if you use the uplink port on neither, one, or both, switches | 19:26 |
| Sven_vB | sarnold, ok, thanks again! :) | 19:26 |

| OerHeks | seek support in the kali channels, perhaps? | 20:34 |
| saor | "and should not be installed on hdd" Care to elaborate? | 20:34 |
| c0sm0s888 | OerHeks where should it be install to? Nowhere, run Live CD? | 20:36 |
| OerHeks | kali is just a pentesting iso, not a regular desktop | 20:36 |
| c0sm0s888 | no one talks in #kali | 20:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | !kali | c0sm0s888 | 20:38 |
| ubottu | c0sm0s888: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 20:38 |
| c0sm0s888 | I know | 20:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | c0sm0s888, That is to say, Kali is not a topic for this channel. Kali and Ubuntu are very different in how they're developed and processes do not translate between the two. Just because no one is talking in #kali-linux doesn't mean that it is okay to ask here. If you want a general linux chat, see ##linux | 20:39 |
| c0sm0s888 | When I try to install UBUNTU on my old laptop i get message can not create ext4 partition, my HD being formated and absolutely empty? | 20:41 |
| c0sm0s888 | pragmaticenigma? | 20:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | !patience | c0sm0s888 | 20:44 |
| ubottu | c0sm0s888: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ | 20:44 |
| c0sm0s888 | You think I didnt try to search...lol | 20:46 |
| c0sm0s888 | Its been weeks, I spend hours and hours searching, thought pros will know better | 20:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | c0sm0s888, We are volunteers here, please mind the tone of your messages | 20:49 |
| OerHeks | c0sm0s888, start in live mode, check the disk with disks utility or s.m.a.r.t. to see what is wrong | 20:50 |
| OerHeks | we can ask you to post a screenshot, but that would be kali :D | 20:50 |
| saor | OerHeks: im confused why you shouldnt install kali on bare metal | 20:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | saor, That's not a topic for this channel | 20:52 |
| saor | Sure, i'm just curious why they think kali should not be installed on hdd | 20:52 |
| saor | It's a valid question | 20:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | saor, Again, this is an Ubuntu support chat... not a discussion channel. If you want to ask about it, try #ubuntu-offtopic #kali-linux or ##linux | 20:53 |
| c0sm0s888 | pragma, no one talks anyway....whats wrong???????? | 20:53 |
| c0sm0s888 | no one flooding the chan | 20:54 |
| saor | pragma just lives with a stick up their ass | 20:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | saor, Keep it family friendly... | 20:54 |
| saor | thanks for making my point | 20:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | saor, I'm doing nothing more than reminding you that this channel has a code of conduct and has a specific topic in mind. If you need a reminder | 20:55 |
| c0sm0s888 | I had it installed on HDD b4 | 20:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | !coc | saor | 20:55 |
| ubottu | saor: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is the document that spells out etiquette in the Ubuntu community | http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct | Watch http://static.screencasts.ubuntu.com/videos/2010/12/22/004-SigningCoC.ogv | 20:55 |
| c0sm0s888 | and it ws fine | 20:55 |
| saor | I have a dedicated kali laptop | 20:55 |
| saor | Thats all it does is run kali | 20:55 |
| c0sm0s888 | thats what i want | 20:56 |
| tomreyn | c0sm0s888: so did you inspect your systemd journal while running ubuntu on your old laptop then (see the command i posted before)? did you inspect the smartctl output? | 20:56 |
| c0sm0s888 | and learn on it | 20:56 |
| saor | My point was really to point out bad advise, which is in the best interests of the channel all i asked was for them to elaborate. | 20:56 |
| dax | Everyone talking about things that aren't *Ubuntu* *support*, stop doing that now, thanks. | 20:56 |
| c0sm0s888 | yeah, HDD had no errors, HD is fine | 20:57 |
| c0sm0s888 | but would not make ext4 partition | 20:57 |
| c0sm0s888 | or ext3 | 20:57 |
| c0sm0s888 | either | 20:58 |
| tomreyn | c0sm0s888: then i suggest you try installing using the latest installer for the ubuntu target release again and gather and keep the logs when it fails to create the filesystem. | 20:58 |
| tomreyn | if this was a desktop installation you can use ubuntu-bug ubiquity to have those logs gathered and uploaded to the bug reporting system automatically | 20:59 |
| c0sm0s888 | I got 18.04 beaver on the stick | 20:59 |
| tomreyn | the latest installer would be ubuntu 18.04.3 | 21:00 |
| tomreyn | i recommend you also create a screenshot of the message where the installation fails | 21:01 |
| tomreyn | and make sure your downloaded and written (to the installer media) iso file is complete / unmodified | 21:02 |
| c0sm0s888 | Thank you | 21:03 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome. | 21:03 |

| kinesis | How do I fix this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mzrCTRhDRm/ | 21:20 |
| kinesis | ? | 21:21 |
| sarnold | kinesis: there'll be a postinst script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/fahclient.postinst | 21:23 |
| tomreyn | kinesis: dpkg --configure fahclient (as root) failed. you need to find out why it failed (see logs or run it manually) | 21:23 |
| sarnold | kinesis: I suspect you can get past this by editing that script and commenting out most or all of it | 21:23 |
| sarnold | kinesis: .. then try again | 21:23 |
| sarnold | I suspect that will then execute the version with your changes and get you past this step | 21:24 |
| kinesis | so i broke ubuntu | 21:25 |
| Siamaster | I'm trying to update my linux kernel and I notice there are different builds for different hardwares. How do I know which hardware I have? | 21:25 |
| sarnold | kinesis: more like, the fah folks probably haven't updated their package in a while.. | 21:26 |
| kinesis | update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting! | 21:26 |
| kinesis | i get that | 21:26 |
| kinesis | sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/fahclient.postinst configure # fromo this | 21:26 |
| TJ- | Siamaster: for bare metal, the only options are -generic or -lowlatency | 21:26 |
| Siamaster | TJ- bare metal? | 21:27 |
| TJ- | Siamaster: no a virtual machine | 21:27 |
| TJ- | s/no/not/ | 21:27 |
| Siamaster | Hmm, I'm not following | 21:28 |
| Siamaster | how do you suggest I update my kernel to latest stable? | 21:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | Siamaster, bare metal is a term to mean that your OS is installed on physical hardware instead of virtualized in a virtual machine | 21:29 |
| TJ- | Siamaster: "apt update && apt upgrade" keeps it up to date | 21:29 |
| gebbione | nautilus gets stuck, while doing file transfer on a network share, it works for a while but then something causes the problem. I usually kill it and when i reopen it the network share looks like is still mounted but I cannot access it when i click on it. Has anyone got any idea what i need to do or what i can try to restart? | 21:29 |
| Siamaster | TJ- hmm, I have already tried that | 21:30 |
| Siamaster | I will try again now | 21:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | Siamaster, explain exactly what it is you're trying to achieve... it's not clear why you have a need to upgrade your kernel.... it would also help to know that version of Ubuntu you are running | 21:30 |
| Siamaster | My computer freezes when I try to copy files. Or actually, I've even ran some dd command that only reads from my some drive to reproduce that bug. Then when I log in using an older kernel version through grub, the problem is gone. | 21:31 |
| Siamaster | So I'm trying to update the kernel in order to get rid of this issue | 21:32 |
| lordcirth_ | Siamaster, what kernel do you currently have this problem on? | 21:32 |
| Siamaster | 5.0.0-32-generic | 21:32 |
| lordcirth_ | And -31 works? | 21:32 |
| Siamaster | I tried 4 something | 21:33 |
| lordcirth_ | 5.0.0-32 does have a bug with CephFS, but I doubt you are using Ceph? | 21:33 |
| Siamaster | I doubt that too | 21:33 |
| Siamaster | I don't know what it is | 21:33 |
| lordcirth_ | Then you aren't, yeah | 21:33 |
| Siamaster | yeah, kernel not updated after apt upgrade | 21:36 |
| lordcirth_ | No, -32 is the newest in the repos for 5.0.0 | 21:36 |
| Siamaster | aha | 21:36 |
| lordcirth_ | Siamaster, what Ubuntu version are you on? | 21:37 |
| Siamaster | 18.04.03 | 21:37 |
| Siamaster | 18.04.3 LTs | 21:37 |
| lordcirth_ | Siamaster, ok, well, you could try installing "linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge" which is 5.3 | 21:38 |
| lordcirth_ | But it's called "edge" for a reason | 21:38 |
| geard | Hello all, I connect to a VPN(anyconnect if it matters) i get the following error "/etc/resolveconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolve.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolveconf/resovl.conf" I currently just copy over the /run/ file to get my DNS resolution sorted for working on assets inside the vpn. I am curious what my options are here though? | 21:39 |
| Siamaster | ok. How do you suggest I do that? | 21:39 |
| lordcirth_ | Siamaster, the name I gave is the package. | 21:40 |
| Siamaster | aha | 21:40 |
| Siamaster | so sudo apt install? | 21:40 |
| lordcirth_ | Yes. And if that breaks something, then in your grub menu you can choose "advanced" and choose the 5.0.0 kernel again. | 21:41 |
| Siamaster | Ok, thanks. I'm installing now | 21:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | Siamaster, question, is there a particular need for running the HWE kernels? | 21:41 |
| Siamaster | I can't scroll up there now but I explained it a bit earlier | 21:42 |
| lordcirth_ | HWE is default in newer ISOs anyway | 21:42 |
| Siamaster | or well no | 21:42 |
| Siamaster | any kernel that would remove that issue will make me happy | 21:42 |
| Siamaster | installed, brb restarting | 21:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | lordcirth_, wasn't aware that was the case in 18.04 | 21:45 |
| lordcirth_ | pragmaticenigma, people expect the standard ISO to work on their hardware. So point releases generally come with HWE once it's out | 21:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | really? interesting | 21:47 |
| lordcirth_ | For the live ISOs, anyway. Not all of them, I think | 21:48 |
| qwebirc95665 | Hello, i have a problem with a custom shortcut => cd /home/user/Desktop && ./input.sh it works in the terminal, but not as shortcut | 21:48 |
| qwebirc95665 | has anyone a idea why and how to fix it? | 21:48 |
| lordcirth_ | qwebirc95665, I don't think shortcuts open shells, they just run a command. So you couldn't use '&&' and two commands | 21:49 |
| geard | lordcirth_: with the HWE not included in the live ISOs which would you recommend? I tend to always user the network installers. | 21:50 |
| lordcirth_ | qwebirc95665, try inserting "sh -c 'cd /home/user/Desktop && ./input.sh' " | 21:50 |
| qwebirc95665 | how can i execute a sh script in 1 command? | 21:50 |
| lordcirth_ | Alternatively, edit input.sh to start with the 'cd' | 21:50 |
| jeremy31 | qwebirc95665: put the input.sh in the /home and not on desktop | 21:51 |
| qwebirc95665 | oh thanks now it works | 21:52 |
| dunga | Tried upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and got stuck in this error where glib requires kernel 3.2 or higher and kernel 3.2 requires newer glibc. The actual error message:"This version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 3.2 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before installing glibc."Any ideas how I can fix this? | 21:53 |
| Siamaster | ok, the problem is not gone | 21:53 |
| Siamaster | and I can't log in to grub anymore | 21:53 |
| Siamaster | I don't know how I got into grub last time, it was because I had my ubuntu USB stick plugged | 21:53 |
| Siamaster | but I also have problem with booting from USB | 21:54 |
| almostdvs | I just got a headache trying to configure passwordless sudo and it turns out that it was not applying to my user because it wasn't at the _end_ of /etc/sudoers | 21:54 |
| Siamaster | whenever the USB loads, my screen goes off | 21:54 |
| Siamaster | I don't know how to fix that either | 21:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | dunga, did you do a "apt full-upgrade" before attempting to upgrade the distro? | 21:54 |
| almostdvs | I've never experienced this unless a later command overrides a previous command. Why would my modification care where in the file it is? | 21:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | dunga, that is "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" | 21:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | almostdvs, Are you editing via the "visudo" command? | 21:55 |
| almostdvs | no | 21:56 |
| dunga | pragmaticenigma, I did full-upgrade before trying to release upgrade. | 21:56 |
| almostdvs | even though it says vi it uses nano and I cannot be bothered by peasant editors | 21:56 |
| dunga | any other install commands (dpkg -i, apt install -f, apt full-upgrade) give an error message | 21:57 |
| Siamaster | so it's probably not the kernel that is the problem either | 21:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | almostdvs, visudo isn't just the editor... it triggers and commits the changes to the system... otherwise the new settings will not take immediate effect | 21:57 |
| lordcirth_ | almostdvs, EDITOR=vi visudo | 21:57 |
| Siamaster | I have a shitty ubuntu installation I think | 21:57 |
| Siamaster | but I don't know why | 21:57 |
| almostdvs | pragmaticenigma: This survived reboots | 21:58 |
