[00:05] did you read the losetup man page? [00:05] it suggests running "losetup --find --show ~/file.img" where ~/file.img would be the image file [00:06] Is it possible that 2 concurrent dd if=f.img of=<2 different devices> interfer between each other? [00:07] AlexPortable: ...it would then print the loop devices which have been setup. you could then try running fsck (or e2fsck for an ext* file system) against those. [00:07] forgot the offset, got it mounted now [00:07] all files are there [00:08] courrier: what do you mean by "of=<2 different devices>"? [00:08] oh you ran dd twice, and thus created two images [00:09] the opposite, I copied the same image on two different USB sticks [00:09] but they appear to be both not working [00:09] gparted sees no partition on them [00:09] I first copied 1 stick successfully [00:10] you could do the same as alex, losetup the image and inspec its contents [00:10] Let's hope the explanation is that I can't copy twice at the same time [00:10] there's no reason why you couldn't do two concurrent writes [00:33] Where is the content of the Applications menu (gnome-panel menu) stored? I want to edit them directly via dconf or something, but I can't figure out where the configuration is kept [00:33] I found the panel itself in dconf but it doesn't list the Applications menu [00:36] /usr/share/applications/ [00:36] and ~/.local/share/applications/ [00:38] ,desktop is specified by freedesktop.org [00:42] What about the listing itself within the Applications menu? [00:42] The applications that are enabled/disabled, the folders, etc [00:45] it's ~/.config/menus/gnome-applications.menu [00:51] hmm, that's not quite it [00:51] the thing is, Libre Office - Math is in the Science category but I want to move it to the Office category [00:51] I though there'd be a way to move it [00:51] failing that, I thought there'd be some XML somewhere I could edit to move it [01:05] hi, on lubuntu 18.04 LTS, if I'm having driver issues, can I download some driver from the internet somewhere, boot lubuntu with no internet, and then run the driver(s) from a separate USB stick? [01:24] howdy! can someone help me figure out why i can't ssh into my ubuntu box? sshd is running (also apache) and i can connect via `ssh localhost` but not `ssh ` (port 22 is forwarded on the router), and i don't have ufw enabled, but this was working fine, before i enabled ufw, i added `ufw allow ssh` but that blocked ssh, so i disabled ufw, and now it's STILL blocking ssh [01:36] it was working before you enabled ufw? [02:13] lonelobo: correct. then i figured, for better security, i should block all other ports, so i enabled ufw (with 22 allowed), then suddenly ssh connections were getting blocked, so i was like, wtf...so i disabled ufw -- and they are still blocked [02:14] was working fine, enabled ufw, stopped working, disabled ufw, still not working? [02:15] i found something new, it actually sort of works - but only one ssh connection at a time [02:15] thorie_: strange [02:15] if i disconnect one session, i can login again but only max 1 connection [02:15] can you have a session connected to localhost and a session connected to ext_ip or only a single connection at all? [02:16] localhost many is OK, ext_ip only single [02:17] could be this stupid home AT&T router/modem with a broken port forwarding software? :/ [02:18] not sure how i could test that, maybe i'll need to bring my server somewhere else [02:18] you could test that possibly by using a software firewall and putting the ubuntu box in the DMZ, if you can, but that's risky [02:18] i didn't see any DMZ mode on the AT&T router configs [02:19] oh well, as long as i can get 1 connection that's fine for now i guess === zbenjamin is now known as Guest42543 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:20] I don't think it would make any difference but I recently ran into issues with iptables coming into play, much different scenario but maybe worth checking? [02:20] I'm not a linux expert at all so I don't know what necessarily to recommend [02:26] no problem, thanks lonelobo [02:28] thorie_: no problem. maybe do a 'sudo iptables -L' just to check and make sure you see ssh in the list? Sorry I couldn't be of more help [03:10] is there a way to install chromium not as a snap in 19.10? The snap is abysmally slow [03:10] (Besides building from source, though I may resort to that) [03:16] wangledorf: doesn't apt install chromium-browser work? [03:20] *sigh* yep lol [03:20] All the sudden, my laptop stopped displaying to my television. I don't even have the option in Nvidia to mirror or extend displays or even anything that shows the TV being connected. How would I go about troubleshooting this? It was working for months. Can't really pinpoint when it stopped working. Ubuntu 18.04.1 [03:21] I just uninstalled the snap and installed from apt, much better. thanks! [03:22] PulseAudio says that it is unplugged? Hrmm, that's interesting. [03:23] hello, is there a simple command line tool (maybe ncurses) to choose and connect to wifi networks? [03:27] mrsideways: https://askubuntu.com/a/970641 [03:27] thanks thorie_ [03:28] Np wangledorf . BTW, I often have trouble finding a package name (like I'll try chromium instead of chromium-browser). To search the packages, I do "apt-cache search somename" and it usually finds what I want. [03:31] Hi guys. This answer tells me to add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line. Do I add it even after the triple-dashes? [03:31] or before the triple-dashes? [03:32] i put it before [03:32] and that works [03:33] wangledorf: Be aware however that in 19.10 the snap for chromium-browser will be installed from "apt" :( [03:35] mrsideways: Wicd is another option [03:35] wicd has a console mode? [03:35] i never knew [03:36] yeah, wicd-cli and wicd-curses [03:36] cool, thanks [04:00] Seemed to have fixed my display issue by upgrading nvidia-driver-390 to 435. Not sure why it stopped working, but oh well. It's working now. [05:10] Is it possible to see all processes being initialized during bootup rather than showing a ubuntu maroon screen? [05:14] I was trying to display boot messages when starting ubuntu linux. [05:14] quarterback: remove "quiet splash" from the /etc/default/grub config file. [05:15] Bashing-om, Yes, thanks. [05:15] rebooting, brb [05:16] quarterback: Reminder: Always make a backup prior to editing:) [05:30] Hey! [05:32] I just stopped in and got that information about removing "quiet splash" i'm backing up now. [05:33] panorain: "Safety is no accident" :D [05:33] Thank You for that reminder about backing up also. [05:33] :] [05:34] Ahh removed (quiet splash) but left the quotes - "" that is what I perceive to be correct. [05:36] panorain: correct - the quotes left is required. [05:37] Thanks. [05:48] Hi [05:48] Hey [05:48] How do I install ubuntu in virtualbox ? [05:49] Is there a tutorial ? [05:49] How to diplay grub boot messages entirely in graphical mode so that there is no blank screen when switching from text to graphical mode? [05:51] This seems like a defect in debian and ubuntu distros. [05:53] quarterback: Bootparameters " systemd.unit=multi-user.target ": and " systemctl set-default graphical" . [05:53] Coder73480, you download the iso. start a new vm and select the ubuntu iso as install media. the ui is pretty straight forward [05:53] but im sure theres plenty of guides on youtube or whatever [05:53] Bashing-om, Where to set that? [05:54] What about settings like ram and processor core etc [05:54] quarterback: systemd.unit=multi-user.targetis a grub boot thing . [05:55] Bashing-om, I dont find systemd in grub [05:56] Bashing-om, Do I have to add these two lines? [05:56] Bashing-om, Do I have to add these two lines in grub? [05:56] quarterback: You wont as "systemd" is a kernel thing. Once the system is booted, however, systemctl set-default graphical will start the GUI. [05:57] Bashing-om, Where to set systemd.unit=multi-user.target ? [05:59] quarterback: Boot to the grub menu - 'e' key for edit mode and inthe linux line replace quiet splash >> ctl+x to continue the boot process to TTY. [05:59] Bashing-om, I had executed the second line as sudo [05:59] Bashing-om, I edited grub and updated with sudo update grub2 [06:00] quarterback: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" ?? [06:01] Bashing-om, What do write in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= [06:01] quarterback: The command is 'sudo update-grub' in ubuntu. [06:02] Bashing-om, I removed quiet splash in that line. [06:02] quarterback: just the quotes. [06:03] Bashing-om, Yes, after this, I uncommented GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 [06:03] This is in grub file. [06:04] Let me reboot to check. [06:04] quarterback: MBR partitioning ? grub supports lots of resolutions. grubs command vbeinfo will tell. [06:05] Does one have to perform "sudo update-grub" after a modification to the grub file such as removing (quiet splash) entry? [06:05] I meant- Should one perform? [06:06] panorain: Yeah I did forget to mention :) it propagates the change to the operating system. [06:07] Bashing-om, No problem. If one does not (update-grub) the change will not take place until perhaps a system kernel update or something like that? [06:08] panorain: Yeah you have the right of it. [06:10] Bashing-om, I rebooted. Now, the messages are displayed in single font. However, the screen is cleared at one instant, then the messages are displayed again. How to prevent the screen from being cleared during display of boot messages? [06:11] Good question. [06:12] Or can the boot be paused in order to note or photograph the messages displayed? [06:12] This seems like a defect in debian and ubuntu. [06:12] I recall this since some time ago I removed quiet splash also. [06:13] panorain, No, the boot need not be paused. The Screen should not be blank during boot for any reason. [06:13] quarterback: I have found no way to pause the screen with systemd :( the system recors the boot: ' journalctl -b -0 ' shows messages from the current boot, [06:13] I am certain the messages can be logged or are they kept in a /var directory? [06:14] Ahh great command! [06:14] Bashing-om, This is not about recording boot messages. I am thinking how to display boot messages without stopping . The screen should not be cleared during display of boot messages. This may be due to switching of graphical modes. [06:15] quarterback: Ya want to see my grub file - As I too want to see boot messaging, and works for me :) [06:16] Bashing-om, Sure [06:16] Bashing-om, Does your boot up screen blank for a sec and redisplay boot messages from top of the screen? [06:18] " journalctl -b -0 " seems in a way similar to " dmesg " [06:18] quarterback: one page at a time that is cleared prior to the next page :( I have yet to find the means to pause since "upstart". my file: https://termbin.com/1a7e . [06:20] Bashing-om, What I want is that the screen should not become blank and redisplay boot messages from top of the screen during boot up. This is a defect. [06:23] Bashing-om, I am going to try gfxpayload entry in my grub. [06:23] quarterback: Mind ya, until the kernel boots you have no interface with the system. Now there might be something one can do in grub ? But I have yet to discover. [06:25] Bashing-om, To you mean pause the message output? [06:25] Bashing-om, I think the pausing and clearing of screen is something I want to remove. I have yet to figure out how. [06:26] Bashing-om, I am looking for continuous display of boot messages. [06:28] quarterback: try grub terminal command ' set pager=1 '. [06:29] Bashing-om, Where? [06:30] quarterback: from grub's linux line. but set pager=1 will notdisplay continuosly . [06:31] Bashing-om, How to display boot messages continuously without break? [06:31] quarterback: Ouch ! ^^ Grub'scommandline ! .. the 'c' optopn. [06:32] really? [06:33] Bashing-om, Can you write complete steps for that? [06:33] Bashing-om, Can you explain this ? [06:33] :] [06:35] quarterback: panorain : Boot to grub and with the desired kernel highlighted enter c. That brings up grub's command line for what to pass on to the kernel. [06:36] Ahh "left shift" will allow boot to grub? [06:37] panorain: UEFI is the escape key that grub looks for . [06:37] Bashing-om, Then enter "pager=1" with no quotes. Ohh [06:37] panorain: Correct. [06:37] Bashing-om, No UEFI then left shift correct? [06:37] I am noting this. [06:38] panorain: Yepper shift key in legacy is what grub looks for. [06:39] Bashing-om, Thanks. [06:39] panorain: The Bible: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html [06:40] I better note this [06:43] Alot of way's to disrupt a boot there also. So after each modification it's best to label the backup say ".bak0" - ".bak1" etc etc I imagine. [06:44] panorain: Well, I make the label as the date. [06:45] Good Idea but what when you modyfy a few times during the same day? I have donw this with keepassx. [06:45] modify* [06:45] Bashing-om, Is it possible to set pager=1 in a config file? [06:46] quarterback: Not that I am aware of // but what I do not know fills a very large book . [06:49] I didn't know about UEFI boot with (ESC) key vs. (Left Shift) key on legacy hardware since I only last week own a desktop with UEFI. [06:50] Which is still under construction heh. [06:50] panorain: Not looking forward to learning EFI. But it is the future. [06:52] So BIOS - UEFI - then EFI ? [06:52] I suppose I can look that up. [06:54] I'm off to rest. [06:54] Thanks for the notes and help. [06:55] quadrathoch2: I am out of here also // others here can respond to questions :) [07:03] Still the screen blanks during boot for a secodn. [07:06] This seems to provide some info https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks === Grldfrdom_ is now known as Grldfrdom === Euph0ria is now known as EuphOria [10:07] ok I have closed down all large software that is using up RAM [10:07] but current RAM usage is at 7.1 GB [10:08] something shady is using up RAM, can you help me diagnose this. htop or ksysguard are not showing anything that is using that much RAM [10:09] total used free shared buff/cache available [10:09] Mem: 15G 7,2G 2,0G 152M 6,4G 7,9G [10:10] dionysus69: it won't show as free , but it's still adressable , that's the expected behavior [10:11] not wasting cycle for cosmetic [10:11] no it's not, some large memory process crashed because it couldnt allocate [10:11] I am not talking about cache, I have problem besides that :) [10:11] that use 7.2G should be something like 2-3 [10:11] used* [10:20] dionysus69: just reboot then? [10:21] tomreyn: started happening often, I will have to reboot everycouple days now [10:21] it's a desktop computer, isn't it? [10:21] what was the large memory process ? [10:21] I know it sounds like every normal pc user would do but this sounds like a memory leaky bug, I am just curious what's gulping down RAM :P [10:22] alway the same process process is crashing ? [10:22] legreffier: large integrated parallel test suite, would launch 12 processes in parallel [10:22] what was logged when the process crashed? [10:23] did the number of parallel test change recently ? [10:23] legreffier: no, I am sure it crashed because of the lack of memory, in reality it wouldn't require more than 8gb of RAM, if what you are saying is true and part of that 7.1 is accessible, then it shouldnt crash [10:23] tomreyn: not sure, some processes couldnt get started. lots of different software is being launched during testing. [10:24] so check journalctl then [10:25] for what? I dont care which process crashed, I am sure it was because of lack of memory, all I have left to do is to check which memory is siphoning memory, if htop and sysmonitor are the only way to check these, then I guess the only thing I can do is reboot, because those arent showing any process using that much of ram, we are talking about 3-4 gb of ram which is unaccounted [10:27] I wasnt always getting this kind of problem, this happens after 2 days uptime. I sometimes had 2 week uptime on my laptop so when pc has this kind of problem it's awkward ^.^ [10:32] if linux was unable to reuse the memory of the failed process it may have logged so by the time it tried, which certainly was by the time the process failed. what you said sounded like you were determined to identify the root cause. [10:33] anyway, i don't feel like arguing with you as to why you should inspect your logs. [11:11] Hi, When I unlock my screen I get a message "package temperature above threshold cpu throttled" buy my laptop is not warm. Someone knows what could cause this? [11:12] s/buy/but [11:17] Is ppa.launchpad.net down? I'm trying to add a repo and it just hangs when I run add-apt-repository [11:21] badcloud_: I can ping the server [11:22] This is the last line in an strace of add-apt-repository command: connect(5, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(443), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2001:67c:1560:8003::8003", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0), sin6_scope_id=0}, 28 [11:23] Shouldn't it be using IPv4? [11:26] why would it be limited to using IPV4 when you as the system administrator have done nothing to disable IPv6? [11:29] tatertots true [11:31] badcloud_: can you ping ppa.launchpad.net ?.... [11:31] badcloud_: jeremy31 says he can ping it...how about you give it a try [11:31] No [11:31] It wont return ping [11:32] badcloud_: but you can ping google.com right? [11:32] I've tried from two different wifi access points [11:33] 64 bytes from haetae.canonical.com (91.189.95.83) [11:33] I forgot, I'm using a Univ. access point, they don't allow pinging outside [11:33] But ppa.launchpad.net forwards me to launchpad.net in my browser [11:34] use your iphone as a hotspot and test minus this school network you speak of [11:34] i know you have a iphone [11:34] right? [11:34] No :) [11:34] Why did you guess I do? [11:34] use your android as a hot spot then [11:35] I'm on an N900 [11:35] :) [11:35] :) if you can't change anything then you'll just have to live without the ppa you're desiring to add [11:36] until you get on a different network [11:36] I actually did try from my home network, also got the same thing [11:36] But for shits and giggles I'll use my phone's network [11:37] badcloud_: try disabling IPv6 [11:38] ping6 to 2001:67c:1560:8003::8003 works fine here [11:39] that proves it's not ppa.launchpad.net that's the problem [11:39] disable v6 like suggested above...then retry [11:40] hi, what's the correct incantation to enable python3.7 with pip and venv on ubuntu:bionic? asking for a friend, eh, docker container [11:40] I think it worked finally :) [11:40] No need to disable v6 [11:42] someone235: do you monitor its temperatures, though? if the cpu gets hot it may need to get throttled and this doesn't mean the enclosure will get hot [12:03] dumb question, isn't there a tool you can download to make mail setup somewhat automated, using postfix and referencing a mysql or postgresql database to handle email accounts? [12:05] Hi folks [12:23] HiddenDjinn I don't know any of those systems, but I use ansible for automated setup with apt-install, templating a config file, etc [12:24] tomreyn, it's 60C [12:24] someone235 rpi? === Oresrian is now known as stwalkerster [12:26] is there a way to make ubuntu boot a chroot for all users? [12:26] mrsideways why? security? [12:27] like I have a rpi, and I have an external hdd that is fast, I have ubuntu server installed and want to use the HDD which is MUCH faster than sd card [12:27] Dynetrekk, ^ [12:27] mrsideways I think there's a project that boots from the SD card then runs a linux distro off of usb storage [12:27] Dynetrekk, is it ubuntu? [12:28] mrsideways no personal experience but here's a link that I think will work for you https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-install-multiple-oses-on-a-single-sd-card-for-raspberry-pi/ [12:28] (the HDD case is explicitly covered at the bottom) [12:28] thanks, i'll look at that [12:28] :D [12:29] mrsideways no there's a separate "multiboot" project and it will let you boot e.g. raspbian,ubuntu, whatever. You might want to use raspbian as it's got the best support, in my experience, on the rpi hw [12:30] are the raspian repos as good as ubuntu? main reason I use ubuntu is it has the best repos [12:39] mrsideways debian and ubuntu are very similar, mostly based of the same stuff (both use apt and partly the same code/repos) [12:39] oh okay [12:39] mrsideways personally I use mostly ubuntu, but sometimes raspbian on rpi [12:40] I mostly don't notice the differences [12:40] of course it may depend on your exact use case [12:40] my use case is simple, I wish to run i2p and znc so I can connect to i2p irc [12:40] so i just need openjdk really [12:41] but i feel comfortable with ubuntu, as I use it daily [12:41] ok, anyway using the boot-from-SD-then-HDD approach should anyway work for both ubuntu and raspbian, you can even multiboot [12:41] have 2 OSes and choose at boot [13:12] <[bma]> Anyone here able to help with a Landscape issue? We're testing landscape (on prem) before rolling it out to our estate - I have setup 2 servers to monitor, one 18.04 and one 16.04 to test with. Everything works fine on the 18.04, but on the 16.04 box activities sit "In Progress"/delivered, but the activity never actually runs. I cannot see anything in any log files which refers to an error, and communication between the server and [13:12] <[bma]> client seems to be fine (i.e. it's being marked as delivered, ping tests show up) [13:13] <[bma]> The job never errors, it just sits as "in progress" [13:15] <[bma]> This only seems to affect any activities relating to packages. E.g. if i send a restart job, that happens within a couple of minutes [13:18] <[bma]> I see this when running a local apt update on the machine in question... "The repository 'file:/var/lib/landscape/client/package/binaries ./ Release' does not have a Release file." which seems to be related to this... https://bugs.launchpad.net/landscape-client/+bug/1735100 [13:18] Launchpad bug 1736576 in landscape-client (Ubuntu Bionic) "duplicate for #1735100 apt related unit test errors in artful, bionic" [Medium,Fix released] [13:18] <[bma]> But again, why does the activity not error out, and I cannot see any particular fix for that issue [13:23] [bma]: try #ubuntu-server [13:24] there may only be commercial support available for it, though [13:24] (we're mostly volunteers on irc) [13:24] <[bma]> Yep, I know - we're a small academic dept and I was asking more if anyone else has experienced the same issue :) [13:28] Greetings. I'm working on a situation with apparmor profiled for thunderbird installed by snap. Perhaps there's a better channel (or two) for this, in which case the referral would be appreciated. Essentially, apparmor creates a log entry for a profile "snap.thunderbird.thunderbird" which I cannot find and therefore not inspect. What is suggested for best server/channels for snap and for apparmor? [13:30] [bma]: looking at this bug report, which is a duplicate report of a bug marked fixed in bionic (18.04) but not xenial (16.04), suggests you may need to file another bug report to have this also fixed in xenial.

It doesn't seem to be able to resolve hostnames/DNS correctly. (Trying to switch to using Ubuntu for work and I need to use a vpn to access internal machines) [15:07] I looked around for fixes but most were for 18.10 and 17.10 it looked like [15:10] I saw suggestions to edit the “[ipv4]” section of NetworkManager/system-connections/myvpnconnectioname and add "dns-priority=-1" but that didn't work even with a restart [15:10] G226: are you chatting from the computer right now? [15:11] Yes [15:12] G226: the issue you're having should be looked at with some detail, because if you weren't able to resolve names in general as a blanket statement you wouldn't be able to surf web pages or join IRC [15:12] G226: It is likely that you need to contact the help desk of the VPN provider/your employer. They are probably settings that automatically get pushed to the Windows client, that you have to manually set for Ubuntu. The help desk for whomever manages your VPN will have to assist you [15:12] G226: so it's more likely you're having issues resolving "certain" names, wouldn't you agree? [15:12] is there a command which will show me all the apps/services/commands which are started up on user login? [15:13] tatertots and pragmaticenigma I'll be more specific, Anything on the internal network the VPN would normally let me resolve, doesn't get resolved as far as hostnames. Anything outside of the VPN is still resolvable as normal like like would be with my home connection [15:13] I can also ping the direct IP addresses of a couple machines, but not say ping their hostname [15:14] It's like the Network manager/vpn built into Ubuntu isn't using the vpn's DNS, it's still using my home DNS maybe? [15:14] G226: Again, that is because the VPN host isn't pushing DNS settings for the VPN... The help desk for the VPN provider is the only person that can help you [15:14] G226: if you mean resolve names of corporate systems, that's to be expected since all the computers in the office are also using internal corporate DSN servers on the corporate domain [15:15] Yeh, they're no help unfortunately even though Ubuntu is now approved, I asked [15:15] G226: and computers outside of the corporate office(s) aren't using the DNS server on the corporate domain [15:15] G226: We can't help you with your employers issue. If they don't have the knowledge.. then they really don't support it, and you should be using what they know and understand [15:16] zetheroo: "systemctl list-units" will return a listing of all the services and their status. Any that are running were likely started on boot [15:17] pragmaticenigma: hmm ... what I am really trying to get at is the entries which are in the Startup Applications tool [15:17] alright, thanks tatertots and pragmaticenigma , I did try back in Ubuntu 17 and the VPN worked just fine without having to do anything special or anything from helpdesk etc [15:18] Do you think it might be the switch from using resolvconf ? [15:18] G226: There's probably a step that you missed on the setup [15:19] zetheroo: User config stuff like that would be somewhere in your $HOME/.config folder [15:19] G226: you most likely don't have administrative control over the VPN , but if you did you could try to manually add the corp DNS servers before/after connecting [15:20] It's nothing special, just open VPN Settings --> Network --> VPN --> + To add a VPN, Choose "Cisco Any connect", Add the gateway server [15:21] then user and pass pops up when connecting, and then it auths and logs in [15:21] gateway is NOT DNS [15:21] I know, I'm just saying what steps were taken [15:21] DNS is on automatic [15:21] i mean gateway is NOT = to DNS [15:22] G226: you most likely don't have administrative control over the VPN , but if you did you could try to "MANUALLY" add the corp DNS servers before/after connecting [15:22] I do not [15:22] I will try adding the DNS manually vs automatic [15:22] and brb [15:23] zetheroo, check ~/.config/autostart/ [15:23] G226: I said this earlier... the VPN isn't sending DNS... so "automatic DNS" isn't going to work... two people have just told you... you're going to have to configure that manually. Which are settings from your help desk [15:23] yes I am trying it [15:23] but there is no help desk for this kind of thing ;p [15:23] brb thanks [15:23] ioria: ah thanks! [15:23] ok [15:27] Aw, Adding the internal DNS server directly into the IPV4 setting of the vpn connection didn't work [15:27] Is there somewhere else I can add in a DNS server for a VPN if i know the address? [15:27] G226: there's a #networking IRC chat room...you might wanna join [15:28] Also, did you mean admin to my machine? I have full admin on my machine [15:28] Okay sure, sorry [15:28] G226: since it's not strictly solely a ubuntu issue...you might ruffle some feathers if you continue here [15:32] Okay sure, I'm sure anything that yses systemd-resolved and Networkmanager would likely run into this [15:32] Not trying to ruffle feathers D: its just an odd issue [15:35] G226: did you try to manually use the corp DNS for resolution AFTER successful VPN connection? [15:35] G226: elaborate on your methodology for testing if you did [15:46] Hi all, I've installed Apache on Ubuntu 16.04, lynx running locally sees the site, however remotely the connection timeouts. Any suggestions? [15:47] apache tomcat? [15:48] please pick one: https://projects.apache.org/projects.html [15:50] Katronix: remotely as in a public ip address or a local ip on the same network? I would definitely test the latter first [15:51] remotely as in my computer connecting to the vps, locally as in logged into the server lynx sees it [15:51] oh, it's a VPS [15:51] What could be the cause where using KVM on Ubuntu 18.04 and setting the VM interface/MAC address to match the host machine, it shows to be active just fine on the custom ipv4 but no data goes in or out? [15:52] leftyfb yes, does that make a difference? [15:52] Katronix: look at any iptables/ufw rules on the host or rules through the VPS provider. [15:53] leftyfb ufw has apache full allowed [15:53] Katronix: try disabling ufw completely to test [15:56] Is there a `mount` notation that looks like this: :/ /mnt/my/local [15:56] leftyfb I disabled ufw, same results [15:56] I can ping the and can 'kind of' check out the parts after the colon - :/ and of course I can verify the /mnt/my/local [15:57] but I'm basing this off of a separate Kubernetes container I can shell into and am trying to unwrap it back to real-world paths so I can mount them from a separate machine (outside of k8s) [15:58] Ah, these are 'remote'-ish NFS shares. [16:03] Hello I am a new user of Ubuntu. It would be lovely if someone could lend me a hand in a very simple matter. [16:04] crissae: It sounds like your container provider has added a package that provides that functionality... to my knowledge there isn't a short form way of defining remote connection like that in a regular ubuntu install [16:04] qoob: please state the matter which interests you [16:05] qoob: Welcome to the channel and Ubuntu. The best way to receive help here is to just start by asking your question. There is no need to ask, to ask a question :-) [16:06] I asked to ask a question as I am also new to this chat IRC. If I ask it and nobody answers, will they get back to me, or do I need to periodically keep asking? [16:07] My question seems simple, and I just need a URL I think. I searched it for a week. I want to install WordPress on 19.10. I tried via apt-get install wordpress, LAMP is working properly, custom .htm files are being served, phpinfo in a .php file works just fine. But wp-admin is not showing up. [16:07] Katronix: You Guest installs should not have the same MAC and/or IP address. The host OS is going to intercept all of those and they will not reach the VM. [16:08] Something about MySQL vs MySQLi, but all the websites say simply to just install packages and it should work. But I get this weird error. [16:08] I searched "mysql_connect undefined" throughly and can't find the answer. I don't know how to turn all mysql_ statements into mysqli_ statements with sed. it's complex. [16:09] pragmaticenigma, my vps has its own IP [16:10] qoob: You shouldn't need to change the source code [16:11] hey guys. i'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4YMm55dBvV/ can anyone advise me what to do? [16:11] qoob may want to see if there is a newer version of the app, chances are if its using mysql_ which has been out of favor for years, its not written for PHP 7.x in other ways too [16:12] Katronix I read that too and it blew my mind how a confusing change with just one letter is normal. I got the latest wordpress from the wordpress.com website though. [16:12] eliyahuTBR, might check out https://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/ [16:13] qoob: If you didn't install wordpress from the Ubuntu repository, we unfortunately cannot help you. You should be looking for help in a WordPress specific channel or forum. [16:13] so latest wordpress is complaining of mysql_connect undefined. I tried enabling mysqlnd.so and mysql.so in config. [16:13] repository is apt-get? [16:13] correct [16:13] qoob wordpress.com doesn't offer wordpress for download, wordpress.org does [16:13] that's what I did. I meant official wordpress... but okay.. I will remove everything and just use apt-get like with apt-get install lamp mysql-server. [16:13] Katronix yes wordpress.org then. Like I said I'm new, to me these are irrelevant details :) [16:14] I got it via apt-get actually. I just meant official wordpress "place"... [16:14] DIdn't know all these little things mattered. sorry. [16:14] i'm trying to install oracle-java11-installer after adding apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java and updating but i get Reading package lists... Done [16:14] Building dependency tree [16:14] Reading state information... Done [16:14] Package oracle-java11-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:14] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [16:14] is only available from another source [16:14] * qoob is new [16:14] Katronix: sorry... my comment earlier was meant for someone else... I mis-tabbed your name [16:15] qoob I'd recommend just downloading it from wordpress.org its a simple php based script [16:15] pragmaticenigma, ah ok [16:15] Teikoman_fi: Your Guest VM installs should not have the same MAC and/or IP address. The host OS is going to intercept all of those and they will not reach the VM. [16:16] eliyahuTBR: software from PPAs are not supported here... you will need to contact the maintainer of the PPA for support. [16:16] Katronix haha, someone else said that, so that's what I did as well. It's just php flat files, referencing a simple mysql database, php back end makes call to mysql, receives data, forwards to php, and it dumps into apache, and it serves the page, right? This is how far a noob read :) [16:16] I will remove all and try again. [16:17] I read for a month about zend, too. I tried editing mysql_connects into mysqli_connect... but there's too many [16:17]
