[00:01] oh hey [00:02] Hello [00:03] i just installed system-config-kickstart [00:03] everything installed without error, but it dumps core when i try to run it [00:03] libglade-WARNING **: 15:51:49.379: Could not load support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:04] phocking: try installing libgnomeui-0 [00:04] I am not familiar with system-config-kickstart.. but it sounds like you don't have gnome libraies installed [00:05] 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] tehwizard: yeah i just figured that i would let folks know because i imagine the apt package should have that as a dependency [00:06] holy cow that's actually packaged :) [00:06] TIL [00:06] 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] @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. [00:08] sarnold: i did as you suggested and now i am getting a more fun lengthy error. pastebin? [00:09] phocking: please [00:10] https://gist.github.com/phillhocking/c9fb9f1b8f42aaf18b52c784d6907b5b [00:11] You need the shortn package too :D [00:12] tehwizard: alright how'd you figure that out? :) [00:13] shortn a little teminal program to shorten urls :D [00:13] works great [00:13] lol [00:13] oh i just have visual mode on all my terminals and just copy paste [00:14] 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 === satanist is now known as kitinfo-botnet === kitinfo-botnet is now known as satanist [00:14] https://www.hanselman.com/blog/UsingEnhancedModeUbuntu1804ForHyperVOnWindows10.aspx [00:15] i just did this today after trying to hack some powershell and bash together and then just used the hyper-v builder one click thing [00:15] well, it seems the GTKWarning: could not open display. === beaver is now known as beaver|idlesever === beaver|idlesever is now known as beaver === beaver is now known as beaver|idle [00:17] you are running as root? is x-server running? or are you just in a shell? [00:18] tehwizard: x server is running but i am connected via rdp/xorg [00:19] oh, try connecting with ssh -X perhaps? [00:20] so this vm uses xrdp [00:20] maybe you need xvfb? [00:23] I think by default Ubuntu doesnt allow root access to your display [00:24] xhost +si:localuser:root might fix that.. but its probably a better idea to be doing sudo as a user.. [00:25] But if it is a VM, then maybe its not such a big deal. up to you [00:25] trying to install mariadb and the secure install script doesn't seem to be working === beaver|idle1 is now known as beaver [00:39] Im trying to figure out how to get i3lock to run on any action that suspends or hibernates my laptop. [00:40] Light now i have a hotkey that triggers my i3lock script and then suspends or hibernates. [00:41] Would like to get this by just closing the laptop lid. [00:42] 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] 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 [00:43] That is a good point. [00:43] would just be nice to have my laptop locked when closing the lid. [00:43] Maybe that would be the better way to solve it. [00:44] 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] Not messing with whenever ubuntu suspends/hibernates but trigger it on the lid close state. If that is even possible [00:45] 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 :) [00:49] What i find in the man page is a bit over my knowledge :/ [00:51] I don't think you want a lid open/close event, you want a generic resume event. [00:52] 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] I'd google something like systemd suspend resume [00:52] Logind seems to have HandleLidSwitch [00:53] My laptop does suspend when i close the lid. I'd just like it to run i3lock aswell when that happens. [00:53] I assume that standard ubuntu DE does handle lock on suspend somehow. [00:53] but now im using i3wm [00:54] I still have the standard DE installed along with the default login manager if that makes any difference. [01:24] ping sarnold... yes i have dist-upgrade from disco to eoan... so the kernel upgraded [01:24] should i use the old kernel [01:26] Hi all I have these ip routes: https://gist.github.com/ironpillow/8e78d9159ab153d4c0b403575693dcd1. I am trying to do ping -I enx70886b89f988 google.com, but it's not working. Interface mgmt and enx70886b89f988 are in separate routing tables. Any advice? [02:36] Hello #ubuntu [02:37] anyone on eoan having problem with virtualbox like this https://dpaste.de/YN2o... yes i have dist-upgrade from disco to eoan... so the kernel upgraded [02:38] anyone on eoan having problem with virtualbox ... yes i have dist-upgrade from disco to eoan... so the kernel upgraded https://dpaste.de/Fsck [02:45] ttat error says maybe secure boot issue, or sign the vbox drvr, but the ubuntu version is signed? [02:46] Look at /var/log/vbox-setup.log to find out what went wrong. [02:46] ​ [02:47] * OerHeks spots vagrant === zbenjamin is now known as Guest81097 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:54] chieta, what version of virtualbox? You need 6.0.14 for kernel 5.3. [03:16] checking rfm [03:30] 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. [04:06] 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 [04:07] ping rfm it works thanks im on 5.3 [04:09] i don't think it's a vlc problem since amazon streams using the firefox web browser does the same thing [05:55] 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? [06:11] 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? [06:16] 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 [06:19] jerichowasahoax`: hmm, i meant the file system type, like ext4 or vfat, not its mount point [06:20] tomreyn: three ntfs-3g and one ext4 [06:20] and which ubuntu and kernel version is this? [06:21] eoan and 5.3.0-18-generic [06:21] and you're sure it also affectes the ext4 file system? [06:21] at least until it's remounted, yes [06:22] hmm, strange, but they are mounted writable from the start, right? [06:22] writable, yes, just not executable [06:22] is there anything on your logs on the exec mount failing initially? [06:23] tomreyn: no, but bootup was 12 hours ago [06:24] well it'd still be in the systemd journal [06:24] 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 [06:28] but if there isn't, then i'm afraid that's all i could think off [06:39] chieta: btw do-release-upgrade is the far better upgrade mechanism [06:40] yes sarnold im doing wrong editing sources.list manually [06:41] thanks noted [07:21] how do i prevent dns leak 18.04 [07:23] Does Ubuntu have a UPnP gateway server yet? The packages available are very confusing [07:23] I route using Linux, not a hardware router, and I REALLY need UPnP [07:45] what kind if data does ubuntu share? [07:45] ? [07:45] do they record microphones and stuff? [07:45] well I know they share some data just not sure what it is [07:46] indoorcat: I think I've heard that people like using audacity [07:46] im thinking I should stop using chrome [07:47] I'm reading that Linux, as a router, STILL doesn't have UPnP? [07:47] I have all my sercurity options shut off for chrome, I mean hell I don't turn off my phone like a lunatic all the time but I do sometimes [07:48] I wonder how many recording google has of me === Leion1 is now known as Leion [07:53] greetings, what is the package python3-distupgrade use for? [07:55] I need one of those plastic cover for your laptop webcam, i'm too paranoid, I know audio is a lost cause if I'm using the web trying to learn python but covering the camera I can control [07:55] hi hi :) [07:55] i'm trying to use dual monitor [07:55] s [07:56] hi [07:56] could disable the microphone I guess [07:56] completly [07:56] destroy the wiring [07:57] might as well go for the camera while i'm at it [07:58] there goes my twitch career [07:59] i'n poor, I destroy things a lot so I am hesitent to destroy it but I know it needs to be done [07:59] then I just need a phone snowden uses [07:59] lol [07:59] then I can make plans to take over the world in private [08:00] anyone in the privacy channel, I need an invite [08:03] Dresk: it is indeed entirely possible that the only software to run the port-opening part of upnp is commercial [08:11] my computer is hooked up to the internet wired ethernet but the three squares icon up top has a questionmark, it happend when my picture flipped upsidedown yesterday I think [08:14] Is it safter to use wifi? [08:14] safer? [08:17] safer than what? [08:20] wired, same ip address I guess, thought maybe it's harder to hack the ip [08:21] indoorcat: what has this to do with ubuntu exactly? [08:21] what data does ubuntu share? dresk was talking about UPnP in routers [08:22] !discuss | indoorcat [08:22] indoorcat: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [08:22] dresk was speaking of linux as a router [08:23] well this is ubuntu related yesterday my screen flipped upsidedown and rebooted [08:24] and now the icon that shows your internet is wired to the ethernet has a questionmark [08:24] indoorcat: pastebin: sudo lshw -C network && uname -a && lsb_release -a [08:26] it listed a bunch of info, do I reboot now?

I can see the respective task by `ps aux | grep -i apt`. However, I am unable to kill that process. The PID keeps increasing by 1 every second. killall doesn't work either. `lsof` command doesn't give any PID of a process locking it either. How do I go about fixing this ? === xet7_ is now known as xet7 [10:52] hey there [10:52] I'm trying to get rid off ElemenataryOS 5 in order to back vanilla Ubuntu [10:52] is it possible to do that without a usb stick, I know that it is technically possible but is it worth trying? [11:31] Hey Guys, I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am using external screen with my laptop. So when I press `ALT + TAB` to switch between open windows, switcher doesn't show on the the external monitor. I want to see it on the external screen which is not the primary display. What to do? I have tried all the settings in Tweaks but no luck [11:38] Greetings [11:39] Germanonym: hey [11:40] i have a small problem :/ i want to install hexchat on ubuntu, but iam behind a proxy server. i cant acces the apt install command. is there another way to install it? [11:42] Germanonym: I think you can use snap to install hexchat [11:42] already tried snap aswell. but i dont have acces to this aswell [11:42] Germanonym: sudo apt install snapd and then sudo snap install hexchat [11:42] Germanonym: ohh [11:43] then try software center? [11:43] also doesnt work [11:43] why are you behind a proxy server? [11:44] Germanonym: these are all the ways I can think of.. [11:44] sitting in school right now [11:44] ohhh === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [12:11] HI folks [12:25] Hi, there is a process that is locking the dpkg. I can see the respective task by `ps aux | grep -i apt`. However, I am unable to kill that process. The PID keeps increasing by 1 every second. killall doesn't work either. `lsof` command doesn't give any PID of a process locking it either. How do I go about fixing this ? [12:27] ramsub07: kill -9 won't kill it? [12:28] crond i do not have a PID as it keeps fluctuating [12:30] if you want to kill all apt processes, this should work. At your own risk of course [12:30] `ps aux | grep -i apt | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9` [12:30] or if you are not root: `ps aux | grep -i apt | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs kill -9` [12:30] i would find out what process is spawning them, see what the parent pid is of the ones that are locking it [12:31] But ^ this is a better alternative in the first place [12:32] ramsub07, unatteneded upgrades runs in the background immedaitely after login if any available [12:32] it could be the culprit [12:42] BluesKaj, how do I stop them? [12:43] Ecko_ thanks that worked!! [12:44] apparently, the GUI was trying to install something in the background. I closed it last evening but it apparently didn't shutdown well. Hence this problem [12:44] use gnome system-monitor [12:44] Peculiar [12:45] ramsub07: can you run pstree -aup|pastebinit and paste the pastebin URL here? [12:45] ah, assuming you've got pstree installed [12:48] Anyone using the package fonts-font-awesome? The wifi unicode symbol (:) does show up normally, but the ethernet one (οž–:) does not. Anyone experiencing the same bug? [12:49] chmd: I see precisely the inverse, but I don't have fonts-font-awesome installed [12:50] mgedmin: wow, I wonder which font has this symbol as well [12:51] it's supposed to be private to the font (not an official unicode character) [12:53] (the ethernet one looks like a crooked rectangle here) [12:54] mgedmin: could you paste the fonts you have installed? (fc-list command) β†’ https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [12:56] chmd: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/P83bpKtVRp/, enjoy [12:56] mgedmin: thanks [13:55] why is it that when i switch from speakers to headphones that i lose voice - i still get the music though - doesn't matter what the program source is [13:55] karaoke mode in your headphones? [13:55] doesn't matter what app i'm using either [13:56] realy strange since i get all the audio in the speakers [14:02] eelstrebor, what kind of headphones? using the headphone jack? bluetooth? [14:06] pragmaticenigma, headphone jack [14:07] butfulake brand [14:08] 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] i tried a headphone set that my son was using and got the same problem [14:08] if there is build up... use a toothpick or small non-metalic/non-conductive object to try and clear the debris from the jack [14:09] pragmaticenigma, the music sounds great it's just that there's no voice [14:09] It's also possible the jack has broken it's connection with the motherboard (they're not very strong [14:14] 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 [14:15] eelstrebor, are you hearing the front left/front right in both sides at the same time? [14:17] no [14:20] 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. [14:23] Hi guys [14:23] I have a lenovo which in dmesg shows: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled [14:24] Checking with "watch sensors" it shows that message occurs around 60 degrees [14:24] "sensors" says that high is +100 and crit is +100 [14:24] so wondering why it is triggering? [14:25] If the motherboard firmware detects it can't spin the fan fast enough, it will also throttle down... you might need to open up the machine and clean out any dust/debris build up [14:26] Should not be a problem its a fresh system [14:26] The fan1 is shown at 13 500RPM right now.. [14:27] it is kinda instant also [14:27] it shows throttled then a ms later "CPU0: Package temperature/speed normal" [14:27] [24500.949421] mce: CPU6: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 348) [14:28] [24500.950440] mce: CPU6: Core temperature/speed normal [14:30] toffe, This might still be an issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1797802 [14:30] Launchpad bug 1797802 in thermald (Ubuntu) "Erratic behavior of CPU frequency control under load" [Medium,Triaged] [14:32] Yeah i also felt it was slughis. I had a L580 beore this (i7 7th gen) and it was much faster. This is a i7 8th gen.. so annoying that it suck so much.

It's really a bad idea to try and fix it yourself. The volunteers here assume that you have an Ubuntu installation using the images provided by Canonical, most companies install customized or tweaked versions to meet the needs of their organizations. They would benefit from knowing you are experiencing these problems. [14:37] pragmaticenigma: ah, nah this is a clean ubuntu install :) [14:37] Got it with windows, reformatted and installed ubuntu. I'm one of the devs so we cannot be on that stupid work network with al lthe limitations :P [14:37] Also I'm "IT" at our office .) [14:37] :) [14:43] Oh well gonna try fault tracing a bit. Reboot time [14:51] toffe, what does `cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp` do?

Kinda normal since most laptops run a little hotter in favor of turning the fans harder [14:55] tried i7z but get a wrmsr:pwrite: operation not permitted [14:55] prolly due to having bios encryption on hdd (?)

Build it myself instead of those premade :P [15:00] But I just got this so want to outlive it a bit more.. Oh well [15:00] lets stick to ubuntu issues please [15:01] lotuspsychje: arent we?

Have a great evening [15:17] 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] Any ideas? [15:19] pjs, Try ##networking or ##linux... raspberry pi isn't something that this channel supports [15:20] unless I missing something === saint__ is now known as saint_ [15:23] pragmaticenigma: ok the question isn't specific to a pi but sure, another channel I suppose [15:44] I'm trying to run a make and it tells me libcbase is missing [15:50] rapidwave: we dont really support compiling as support, whats the package you are trying to make? you dont find it on the repos/snaps? [15:52] Nah, it's a package of tools offered as source from a developer website [15:53] Oh....the libcbase is not in repo [15:53] Or I cannot find it at least. [15:54] It's possible the configure script is too old...maybe I can just throw a newer one into the directory? [15:56] 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. === crondd is now known as crond [16:10] hi [16:10] welcome deadrom [16:12] when resuming 18.04 on a Dell M4800 on a dock the dock activates the ports a bit late and so every resume the system re-discovers everything: usb devices, displays. can I prevent that somehow? [16:12] libcbase sound more like a package that is missing, it is not part of the downloaded tools [16:13] Hi, I remember there used to be an option to set "emblems" on folders, but I can't find it. Was it removed, do I need to install something, or am I looking at the wrong places? === _Saltine_ is now known as Budgii [16:14] popey: deadrom issue related to that bug you found?

[17:10] 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] or is there any way to change this without remove? [17:16] !ping [17:16] pong! [17:19] revolutionary, to the best of my knowledge, you would likely (and have an easier time) starting from scratch [17:19] 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] revolutionary, But you can set --iter-time by making a new keyslot with it, then removing the old one. [17:20] 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] 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 [17:21] i just want to change my current LUKS scheme with adding some options. Is there any way to change this? [17:32] revolutionary, anything you change would only affect the header of the encrypted volume. What concerns do you have? [17:33] i have concerns about security level [17:33] for example i would want to change --iter-time [17:34] revolutionary, this might help you: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/101343/how-to-change-the-hash-spec-and-iter-time-of-an-existing-dm-crypt-luks-device [18:11] Hi, I have a question about resolvconf [18:11] Someone asked me to edit the DNS. [18:12] the /etc/resolv.conf indicates that resolvconf generates the file [18:13] in the man page I see resolvconf -a IFACE.PROG where IFACE.PROG. What should I place for PROG for dns? [18:14] resolv.conf -a eth0.ifup I assume [18:15] I then enter lines like nameserver 1.1.1.1 [18:15] IGnorAND, verions of Ubuntu... latest versions do not use resolv.conf [18:15] how do I close/save it? [18:15] pragmaticenigma: don't laugh - 14.04 [18:16] 14.04 reached EOL... it's no longer supported in the Ubuntu channels. [18:16] !trusty | IGnorAND [18:16] IGnorAND: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu. !End-of-life was April 25th, 2019. Paid support (ESM) is available. See also !esm, !eol, !eolupgrade [18:17] Thanks, I'll go tell them that the dns cannot be fixed [18:17] 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 [18:18] pragmaticenigma: it's not an online system [18:18] and thanks for pointing it out, but I knew that [18:19] It's not online, yet needs DNS settings... that makes no sense [18:21] pragmaticenigma: it needs a private dns [18:22] pragmaticenigma: as you said, there is no support in the channel. Why do you even care if it makes sense. [18:23] IGnorAND: please no debates in this channel, focus on ubuntu issues [18:25] why doesn't ubuntu provide an "opencv-without-gui" package ? [18:25] If i intall in an empty ubuntu container, the package "opencv-pyhton" it adds 700MB to the container size [18:30] How do I know if my gpu is running? [18:31] I forgot the command πŸ˜… [18:31] what do you mean gpu is running? [18:31] If the display is using my gpu or not? Or is it detected correctly [18:32] Also if the drivers are Installed. [18:32] 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] The_LoudSpeaker: sudo lshw -C video [18:33] lotuspsychje: Thanks! [18:35] pragmaticenigma: look better, it depends on opencv-highgui which needs libgtk+ which needs all of X [18:37] ah, so it does dckusr ... there are ways to block the dependency... though I'm not fmailiar with them personally [18:38] dckusr, There are these approaches: https://serverfault.com/a/392205 [18:39] "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=" [18:39] 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] especially on days like docker where it adds 700MB [18:40] and people complaint about bloated docker images [18:40] dckusr: the equivs package can help you build a fake package to satisfy dependencies that you don't need [18:40] dckusr: but please do file a bug report about this to ask for the dependency to be downgraded to a recommends [18:41] 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] would be nice to just have another package for no gui [18:41] 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. [18:42] 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. [18:43] whaaaaaaat [18:43] also, why doesn't ubuntu fix on 16.04 LTS the problem, that nvidia drivers + cryptdrive = can't use computer ? [18:43] there are tons of bug reports on it, yesterday it took me 2 HOURS to bypass this bug [18:43] while preping for a presentation :( [18:44] i mean it's not some small usecase, encrpyting hard disk and using nvidia... [18:44] dckusr: what bug number? [18:44] TJ-: didnt see that before, what machine brand is that? [18:44] dckusr: encrypting and nvidia have no relationship - do you mean UEFI Secure Boot and nvidia propriatry modules not being signed? [18:45] 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 [18:46] Worked fine for the installer too [18:46] weird one [18:46] As a result it has broken the ability to do a LUKS unlock from initramfs [18:46] TJ-: got a dmesg from that? [18:47] lotuspsychje: there's nothing to see and no... since it cannot get past initramfs [18:47] hmm [18:47] TJ-, if kernel related, you can try the -proposed 5.3.0.21.24 [18:47] !info linux-generic eoan-proposed [18:47] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.21.24 (eoan-proposed), package size 1 kB, installed size 16 kB [18:48] anyone knows devices and locations application process name? when i ps aux i cannot identify anything closely matching it [18:48] gebbione: 'it'? [18:49] There's quite a few regressions I'm discovering; e.g. when tapping Esc key to get the GRUB menu (and needing to tap repeatedly... once the menu shows if another tap gets through it escapes the menu and drops you at the command prompt after clearing the screen... didn't do that previously [18:49] TJ-: nop, I mean what I said [18:49] 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] and you can't login [18:49] let me find you some bug reports [18:49] sarnold "Devices & Locations" [18:50] TJ- https://askubuntu.com/questions/867643/ubuntu-16-04-nvidia-driver-encrypted-harddrive-blank-screen [18:50] TJ- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1721988 [18:50] Launchpad bug 1721988 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 17.10 full disk encryption + Nvidia drivers not booting" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:51] it seems that it was fixed in 18.04, but tons of people still use 16.04 [18:51] the "fix" is to disable the gui splash screen on boot (very hard to do, and you need recovery mode) [18:52] sarnold those are the reports [18:52] 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] it took me 2 hours, cause 1.9 hours i was googling in vain to figure out what the issue is [18:53] tj-: yeah, i think for 99% of the people, it means nothing [18:53] TJ- if it was fixed in 18.04 cant it be back ported to 16.04 ? [18:54] oh it looks like it is called baobab [18:55] 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 :( [18:57] 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 [19:04] how do you resolve dnsleak on ubuntu 18.04 [19:08] does anyone here use dnscrypt [19:10] pi0, DNSLeak is a term used in conjunction with VPN services. That requires the VPN providers help to resolve. What exactly is your issue you're experiencing. Plase be specific [19:11] pi0: hopefully useful to you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1754671 [19:11] Launchpad bug 1754671 in NetworkManager "Full-tunnel VPN DNS leakage regression" [Medium,Confirmed] [19:14] 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] 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] 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 [19:15] s:Poer:Port: [19:15] sarnold: thank you i will check this out [19:16] sarnold: looks pretty involved i wish i knew openvpn better, not sure how to split tunneling [19:16] 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 [19:17] pi0, what sarnold posted may not be required [19:18] does this mean i need to run dnscrypt [19:18] there are so many work arounds not sure which is the least package installtion method [19:19] pi0, No, dnscrypt is something entirely unrelated to what you're trying to solve [19:19] pi0, There will be no packages to install [19:19] 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 [19:20] i got way far out in the weeds [19:20] 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] 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] ah perfect! [19:20] im trying to create an unattended ubuntu install [19:20] Sven_vB: colors mean nothing [19:20] https://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu [19:20] and the kernel panics because it cant mount the root filesystem [19:20] 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] i've been following this and made a lot of progress until i realized this shit from 2012\ [19:21] 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] pi0, uncomment the line in your openvpn config file "#redirect-gateway def1" to "redirect-gateway def1" [19:22] sarnold, good point. I'll check the pinout whether it's crossed. thanks for that reminder! [19:22] 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 [19:23] pi0, beyond that, you will need to contact your VPN providers support line for assistance [19:23] pragmaticenigma: is that line does not exist just add it? [19:24] also can you share that link? [19:24] 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] TJ- I see, welp, tough luck for many users :( I was lucky and figured it out [19:24] pi0, yes, you can just add it [19:25] 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] oh i see [19:25] thank you going to try it [19:25] brb [19:25] sarnold, would it be important to know the crossed-ness of the cable between switch and archer as well? [19:26] Sven_vB: yeah; that'd determine if you use the uplink port on neither, one, or both, switches [19:26] sarnold, ok, thanks again! :) [19:27] hrm, james page isnt in today, drat. [19:47] newbi for linux, want to learn everything about it, where should i start? [19:47] youtube videos ? [19:49] c0sm0s888: Go to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/index.html [19:49] follow the install guide for your architecture [19:49] Being watching them all the time, i learn pretty quick when its hands on. [19:50] c0sm0s888: read your error messages and log files when things don't work out [19:50] lol [19:51] isn't there is an script which auto opens stackovreflow and searchs last error in a log file ? [19:51] find_me_a_fix.sh /var/log/syslog [19:55] unfortunately many youtube video videos offer rather bad advice, i'd recommend following the official documentation whereever possible instead [19:55] !man [19:55] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [19:55] c0sm0s888, A good place to start is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/ [19:56] thank you all [19:58] you're welcome. and feel free to come back here and ask when you can't find an answer elsewhere. [19:58] Another thing i was playing with my old lap top and was trying to install linux on it, but during install i got error " can not make ext4 root partition". [19:58] is it something with HD or its fixable? [19:59] prob time to recycle that machine. [20:00] this is difficult to tell without more context. did you retain the installation log files from /var/log/installer ? [20:00] !smart | c0sm0s888 [20:00] c0sm0s888: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [20:02] to view the most critical errors from your system log, you can use journalctl -b0 -p err in a terminal - this would point out disk i/o errors in case of defective storage media, for example, [20:27] Hi! [20:30] tomreyn - I was trying to install kali on empty HD [20:31] hi zuloyd [20:34] .. kali .. is not ubuntu, and should not be installed on hdd [20:34] seek support in the kali channels, perhaps? [20:34] "and should not be installed on hdd" Care to elaborate? [20:36] OerHeks where should it be install to? Nowhere, run Live CD? [20:36] kali is just a pentesting iso, not a regular desktop [20:37] no one talks in #kali [20:38] !kali | c0sm0s888 [20:38] 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] I know [20:39] 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 [20:41] 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? [20:42] pragmaticenigma? [20:44] !patience | c0sm0s888 [20:44] 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/ [20:46] You think I didnt try to search...lol [20:47] Its been weeks, I spend hours and hours searching, thought pros will know better [20:49] c0sm0s888, We are volunteers here, please mind the tone of your messages [20:50] c0sm0s888, start in live mode, check the disk with disks utility or s.m.a.r.t. to see what is wrong [20:50] we can ask you to post a screenshot, but that would be kali :D [20:51] OerHeks: im confused why you shouldnt install kali on bare metal [20:52] saor, That's not a topic for this channel [20:52] Sure, i'm just curious why they think kali should not be installed on hdd [20:53] It's a valid question [20:53] 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] pragma, no one talks anyway....whats wrong???????? [20:54] no one flooding the chan [20:54] pragma just lives with a stick up their ass [20:54] saor, Keep it family friendly... [20:54] thanks for making my point [20:55] 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] I had it installed on HDD b4 [20:55] !coc | saor [20:55] 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] and it ws fine [20:55] I have a dedicated kali laptop [20:55] Thats all it does is run kali [20:56] thats what i want [20:56] 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] and learn on it [20:56] 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] Everyone talking about things that aren't *Ubuntu* *support*, stop doing that now, thanks. [20:57] yeah, HDD had no errors, HD is fine [20:57] but would not make ext4 partition [20:57] or ext3 [20:58] either [20:58] 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. [20:59] 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] I got 18.04 beaver on the stick [21:00] the latest installer would be ubuntu 18.04.3 [21:01] i recommend you also create a screenshot of the message where the installation fails [21:02] and make sure your downloaded and written (to the installer media) iso file is complete / unmodified [21:03] Thank you [21:03] you're welcome. === datasmurf_ is now known as datasmurf [21:20] How do I fix this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mzrCTRhDRm/ [21:21] ? [21:23] kinesis: there'll be a postinst script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/fahclient.postinst [21:23] kinesis: dpkg --configure fahclient (as root) failed. you need to find out why it failed (see logs or run it manually) [21:23] kinesis: I suspect you can get past this by editing that script and commenting out most or all of it [21:23] kinesis: .. then try again [21:24] I suspect that will then execute the version with your changes and get you past this step [21:25] so i broke ubuntu [21:25] 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? [21:26] kinesis: more like, the fah folks probably haven't updated their package in a while.. [21:26] update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting! [21:26] i get that [21:26] sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/fahclient.postinst configure # fromo this [21:26] Siamaster: for bare metal, the only options are -generic or -lowlatency [21:27] TJ- bare metal? [21:27] Siamaster: no a virtual machine [21:27] s/no/not/ [21:28] Hmm, I'm not following [21:28] how do you suggest I update my kernel to latest stable? [21:29] 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] Siamaster: "apt update && apt upgrade" keeps it up to date [21:29] 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? [21:30] TJ- hmm, I have already tried that [21:30] I will try again now [21:30] 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 [21:31] 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. [21:32] So I'm trying to update the kernel in order to get rid of this issue [21:32] Siamaster, what kernel do you currently have this problem on? [21:32] 5.0.0-32-generic [21:32] And -31 works? [21:33] I tried 4 something [21:33] 5.0.0-32 does have a bug with CephFS, but I doubt you are using Ceph? [21:33] I doubt that too [21:33] I don't know what it is [21:33] Then you aren't, yeah [21:36] yeah, kernel not updated after apt upgrade [21:36] No, -32 is the newest in the repos for 5.0.0 [21:36] aha [21:37] Siamaster, what Ubuntu version are you on? [21:37] 18.04.03 [21:37] 18.04.3 LTs [21:38] Siamaster, ok, well, you could try installing "linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge" which is 5.3 [21:38] But it's called "edge" for a reason [21:39] 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] ok. How do you suggest I do that? [21:40] Siamaster, the name I gave is the package. [21:40] aha [21:40] so sudo apt install? [21:41] 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] Ok, thanks. I'm installing now [21:41] Siamaster, question, is there a particular need for running the HWE kernels? [21:42] I can't scroll up there now but I explained it a bit earlier [21:42] HWE is default in newer ISOs anyway [21:42] or well no [21:42] any kernel that would remove that issue will make me happy [21:43] installed, brb restarting [21:45] lordcirth_, wasn't aware that was the case in 18.04 [21:47] pragmaticenigma, people expect the standard ISO to work on their hardware. So point releases generally come with HWE once it's out [21:47] really? interesting [21:48] For the live ISOs, anyway. Not all of them, I think [21:48] 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] has anyone a idea why and how to fix it? [21:49] qwebirc95665, I don't think shortcuts open shells, they just run a command. So you couldn't use '&&' and two commands [21:50] lordcirth_: with the HWE not included in the live ISOs which would you recommend? I tend to always user the network installers. [21:50] qwebirc95665, try inserting "sh -c 'cd /home/user/Desktop && ./input.sh' " [21:50] how can i execute a sh script in 1 command? [21:50] Alternatively, edit input.sh to start with the 'cd' [21:51] qwebirc95665: put the input.sh in the /home and not on desktop [21:52] oh thanks now it works [21:53] 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] ok, the problem is not gone [21:53] and I can't log in to grub anymore [21:53] I don't know how I got into grub last time, it was because I had my ubuntu USB stick plugged [21:54] but I also have problem with booting from USB [21:54] 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] whenever the USB loads, my screen goes off [21:54] I don't know how to fix that either [21:54] dunga, did you do a "apt full-upgrade" before attempting to upgrade the distro? [21:54] I've never experienced this unless a later command overrides a previous command. Why would my modification care where in the file it is? [21:55] dunga, that is "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" [21:55] almostdvs, Are you editing via the "visudo" command? [21:56] no [21:56] pragmaticenigma, I did full-upgrade before trying to release upgrade. [21:56] even though it says vi it uses nano and I cannot be bothered by peasant editors [21:57] any other install commands (dpkg -i, apt install -f, apt full-upgrade) give an error message [21:57] so it's probably not the kernel that is the problem either [21:57] 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] almostdvs, EDITOR=vi visudo [21:57] I have a shitty ubuntu installation I think [21:57] but I don't know why [21:58] pragmaticenigma: This survived reboots === Simon_NL is now known as SimonNL_Afk === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [22:51] pragmaticenigma: thanks for the suggestion which vpn provider do you use [22:51] perhaps i should change mine [22:55] Mullvad is deec [22:56] #ubuntu-offtopic for VPN recommendations [23:02] anybody here good with BSD? [23:03] DEL: This is ubuntu support not BSD [23:03] ask in #bsd, this is ubuntu [23:04] or the channel for your particular BSD, e.g. #freebsd or #openbsd [23:05] my apologies, I didn't specify correctly. I meant UbuntuBSD [23:05] https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntubsd/ [23:05] DEL, it is still not supported here... only official Ubuntu flavors are on topic here [23:05] not supported here, since it isn't an official flavor. it's also dead since 2016 [23:06] there's an #ubuntubsd channel but it's basically empty [23:06] what a shame. welp back to unix. the master race [23:09] sarnold: A project to replicate UPnP and NAT-PMP behavior is available in Linux, and as a package for most distros (including Ubuntu), known as miniupnpd, http://miniupnp.free.fr/ [23:40] Dresk: oh cool! I thought miniupnp was strictly client-side
