[00:56] Hello again. Anyone here have experience preseeding Ubuntu for autoinstallation? [00:58] Does anyone know how I can read from and write to a serial device without running into a 'resource is busy' error [00:58] ? [00:59] what are you using to talk to the serial device? [01:00] zim_hacker [01:00] DSdavidDS: I am connected via usb and would like to see the messages I write to the device from a python program [01:01] It has to do with how gracefully you end the serial connection on your ubuntu PC [01:02] I am assuming you are using something like 'screen' [01:02] I prefer minicom because it prompts you to close the communication completely when exiting [01:02] DSdavidDS: yes, I was attempting to do it using screen [01:03] if you dont reset the connection, it can leave the communication completely locked [01:03] not sure what the right way to do it with screen is. I like minicom. [01:03] can I clarify, are you trying to run screen from python? [01:03] on 18.04.3 with a Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI, my onboard sound (Intel) no longer works... I need this to be fixed! [01:04] DSdavidDS: interesting, that could explain why it always tells me the resource is busy after establishing a connection (even after i quit) [01:04] DSdavidDS: I am running screen through terminal [01:04] okay [01:04] 3 options: [01:04] 1. dont exit screen, 2. exit screen properly, 3. try minicom :] [01:06] hello [01:06] i used to get an option during installation to do disk encryption .. i no longer see it [01:06] how can i encrypt the disk ? [01:07] DSdavidDS: So essentially if I do use screen, It HAS to be terminated before I can write to the device? [01:07] DSdavidDS: thanks, I'll take a look at minicom [01:08] off the top of my head: [01:08] sudo minicom -D /dev/tty???? [01:08] and ctrl+a --> q --> enter to exit [01:09] ctrl+a --> z --> q --> exit [01:09] and yes. Serial can only have one communication at a time [01:10] unless you have some serial manager that takes care of managing serial traffic [01:21] hey, what partition type should I select in fdisk for vfat? [01:34] I had an encrypted Ubuntu install on an external drive, and I forgot the password. It's the default installer option to encrypt (cryptsetup). I tried and tried and can't remember it. How would I go about trying to crack it? I wouldn't have used a strong password. How long should that take to crack on desktop hardware? [01:34] and how would I go about doing it? [01:35] <[itchyjunk]> Hi, I am trying to add something to my path. not sure how to do it. ghci is in /opt/ghc/bin and i want ghci added [01:35] you have only one option left: brute force. it will take awhile. [01:35] EdFletcherT137: that's what I want to do. How many hours do you reckon for a 10-character password? [01:35] one issue is the 60 second break that cryptsetup forces on you if you fail to enter the correct password 3 times in a row [01:36] no idea, but given the datum you just mentioned you could do a quick calc [01:37] *rough calc, rather [01:37] 10 characters? that's not enough, so it might actually be possible to crack, especially if you know which characters classes were (not) used. It will probably still take days. [01:39] there's days of creative work on it so I don't mind. Any guides on what to do? [01:39] primarily, bypassing that 60 second delay. That would just kill any brute force attempts. [01:41] hmmm not even sure you can, but you're definitely right that you'll need to [01:41] you'd dump the header and attack it directly. [01:41] search the web, i think this outside of ubuntu support. [01:41] oh yeah, excellent idea [01:42] OK, thx [01:42] some articles by both sides of the spectrum are easy to find. search terms: LUKS, forensics, brute force, crack [01:46] tomreyn, thanks. while i'm on the subject, what's the easiest way to make an encrypted external USB drive that works with both BIOS and UEFI systems? one that requires the least knowledge of bootloaders. Ubuntu's installer only makes it work on one or the other (depending on the PC used to install). So if you install it on a BIOS computer, you can't boot it from a UEFI computer, and vice-versa. [01:46] by using the installer I mean [01:48] whodat: i don't know, but i bet there are articles out there on how to make a hybrid (BIOS + UEFI bootable) USB attached storage. once you know this, all you need to do is to combine this with a luks encrypted storage (which is certainly the easier task). [01:49] the ubuntu desktop installer (and i think 'live' server, too) is hybrid, so you could just check how it's done. it then continues booting from an overlay file system, which won't be what you want in this case. [01:50] the ubuntu desktop installer is what i used last time, it's definitely not hybrid. So if on a BIOS PC you use USB ISO to install to external drive, a UEFI-only PC can't boot from that USB. Maybe they fixed it since 18.04. [01:51] *UEFI PC can't boot from that external drive [01:51] fdisk in 18.04.3 and later supported releases can handle the partition tables of a hybrid installer (many other applications will instead report a mismatch of block sizes and fails to detect the first partition) [01:52] i'm saying the installer media will be hybrid, not the installation you create from it [01:52] ah, yes [01:56] thanks again [01:57] you're welcome === zbenjamin is now known as Guest6110 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === codebam__ is now known as codebam [03:16] are you guys on 18.04 or 19.10?

Thanks! [04:06] Hello. I'm using Bionic. I need to stream live audio using Command Line over IP (which a client can listen to and possibly record as well). [04:06] Any pointers please...? Thanks in advance ... [04:08] some ffmpeg / vlc wizardry perhaps? [04:10] how do i compile a ubuntu source package [04:10] specifically libmad [04:11] as i have ubuntu/libmad-0.15.1b/debian/patches [04:13] Wally, Yeah I guess? Tons of examples but not a single that really works out of the box (and which I understand) :-/ [04:13] Yeah that sounds like fun to work out. Nothing I really can help you with unfortunately. [04:14] hmmm ... no worries :) [04:14] tx anyway [04:16] np [04:17] So with a new install of 19.10, is my ATI RX 570 natively supported? No drivers/software required? [04:22] cybertruck2077: Yup :D See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver .

[04:40] nice, thanks, configuration: driver=amdgpu latency=0 [04:45] hi all, anyone familiar with Multipass? Or maybe snap in general not sure [04:45] multipass downloads VM images for ubuntu.. one of my downloads got interrupted, and now I cannot launch images using that verfsion of Ubuntu [04:45] need to figure out how to refresh/delete said image [04:53] @patrixl on my system images are installed into /var/snap/multipass/common/cache/multipassd/vault/images [04:53] @patrixl perhaps in there you can delete the offending image and it will redownload === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [04:54] looks like /var/snap/multipass/common/cache/multipassd/vault/multipassd-image-records.json also keeps a record of the images you downloaded [04:57] mca_gif, You mean like chicks and stuff? [04:59] Yes, the ubuntu spying conspiracy is real. /s [04:59] hmm [04:59] I documented this in a note. [04:59] I have to look now [05:00] mca_gif: cool, let me have a look there! [05:00] LOL [05:00] this is my first snap ever installed, too much magic going on lol [05:00] huh [05:00] funny thing is I looked in /var/snap/multipass and skipped over the "common" dir, having looked at a smilar dir before and finding nothing haha [05:01] there is no directory on this system as of yet. [05:01] There is no directory of this label I meant to say on this system yet. [05:01] @patrixl I haven't ever used it, so I installed it, and once running "ps" gave away the location of the images [05:02] oh really [05:02] mca_gif: removing the directory of the image that failed to download, now it starts to download once more, thanks. Didn't need to mess with the json file [05:02] hmm [05:02] ps eh [05:02] here I was messing around with lsof and not finding it [05:02] interesting stuff [05:14] hello? [05:14] yes? [05:15] hi, how do i check thunderbolt driver version im currenlty using? thanks [05:17] is this channel still active? [05:20] Oh yes [05:20] This is an actually pretty nice channel. === tehaugz is now known as augz [06:15] Hi. I have an ACER Aspire laptop. Recently wiped it of Windows and installed Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS from a burned DVD ISO. Now the computer goes into a loop on boot. Shows the ACER screen, then a few lines of text too fast to read, then reboots. I've checked the BIOS and Boot menu. Shows "Linplus lite." Any thoughts on a fix? Thanks! [06:17] e|f: can you boot a live usb to troubleshoot? [06:18] I only have the Ubuntu ISO on a DVD but, yep, it will boot to that if I hook up the external DVD drive and select Boot from DVD from the BIOS. [06:18] ok do that [06:21] OK, grub popped up, i selected Start Ubuntu and it's loading OK... [06:22] e|f: once it boots hook up internet to it [06:22] showing the kubuntu splash screen now and it's loading as expected [06:22] ok [06:24] done? [06:29] almost [06:30] just got to the Kubuntu screen "Try Kubuntu" / "Install Kubuntu." Selected "Try." It's loading the desktop now === monkeystance_ is now known as monkeystance [06:33] connected to WIFI. Opened up a Firefox. Firefox connected to yahoo.com for an example. Internet works [06:33] e|f: ok, open a terminal and type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" [06:33] paste the link it gives you here [06:33] okie dokies [06:35] https://termbin.com/43b9 [06:38] lucky it's a touchscreen. the touchpad won't work. i've had this problem before and can't remember how i fixed it :P [06:39] brb [06:39] ok [06:41] e|f: ok, it's installed in uefi mode [06:41] e|f: type "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" [06:41] kk [06:42] gives - https://termbin.com/hgx8 [06:45] e|f: type "sudo efibootmgr -b -B 0001" [06:45] k [06:45] that should delete the linpus entry [06:46] e|f: usually with the acer pc's you have to set a bios administrator password, and that will unlock settings for the uefi and let you set ubuntu first and possibly "trust" it (there's a menu for trust) [06:46] e|f: we could delete all the extra entries there [06:47] "Invalid bootnum value: FFFFFFFFFFFFFF5" [06:47] i'd rather not set a bios password [06:47] e|f: you might have to [06:48] ok [06:48] you can maybe remove the password after trusting ubuntu/setting the uefi [06:48] ok, what do i do next. aside from give you fifty bucks for your help :p [06:49] e|f: anyways, im going to set one of the ubuntu entries first in line and see what happens, if nothing then try the bios password + settings [06:49] type "sudo efibootmgr -o 2001,0004,2002,2003 [06:49] e|f: type "sudo efibootmgr -o 2001,0004,2002,2003" [06:50] spits out a long list of stuff [06:51] Boot0000* ubuntu; Boot0001* Linpus lite ... etc etc [06:54] which app do you guys use to take notes? [06:54] Notes for desktop stuff, like commands etc? [06:55] before those boot entries... BootCurrent: 0003; Timeout: 0 seconds; BootOrder: 2001,0004,2002,2003 [06:58] you want me to reboot? [06:59] e|f: yeah giv eit a go [06:59] k [07:00] nah same thing. i'll try the password method [07:04] ok [07:05] under Security tab in BIOS - Supervisor password is: Clear; User Password is: clear; HDD Password is: clear; Set supervisor password ...; Set User password ...; Set HDD password ...; Password on boot: Disabled; Secure Boot Mode: standard ... [07:05] few other things too. where do i go to from here [07:14] is the differnce between, ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu just the desktop environments? [07:14] yep [07:14] if i was on xubuntu and installed kde DE, does that mean im essentially running kubuntu? [07:14] more or less, yes [07:14] the default installed apps are different too [07:15] i dont know why but i was running kubuntu before and i reinstalled everything and installed xubuntu because i thought that was the only way [07:15] i never knew you could just install the DE's on it's own and switch back and forth [07:16] also what is lightdm and ssdm, it was asking me when i was installing [07:16] we've all likely done something similar at some point. [07:16] lightdm is the login manager [07:17] on 18.04.3 with Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI system-/logic-/main-/mother-board, onboard sound (Intel) stopped working after a kernel upgrade in the last few months... plz help fix! :) [07:38] ah yep i see what you were saying Eric :) [07:38] play around with the passwords and it then allows you to drop down and select trusted files [07:45] also, how do you delete all old logs? I've been running this for over a year and some logs are probably GB. I need that space now... maybe even delete all logs and restart logging? [07:46] DarwinElf: why do you assume that they would be? my server hasn't even breached 500MB with its logs and it's been going far longer. [07:54] logs are auto-rotated and kept only a certain number of days aren't they? [07:54] I'm sure journald works the same way [07:54] now some other apps not using journald/logrotate might be an exception to those rules... [08:05] i've had GB of logs before [08:05] sure, maybe I ran a server longer to have that happen... however even another few hundred MB would be nice [08:07] EriC^: I set a password to unlock the UEFI settings, then ran through all of the various files under and to set them as files in the allowable database. Rebooted each time with each file. And still it doesn't work. Same loop as before [08:41] e|f: the file you need to set is /efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi [08:41] e|f: did you also change the boot order of the uefi? [08:44] ah :) [08:44] one sec, i'll try [08:48] set the file to shimx64.efi ... not sure about the boot order of the uefi ? [08:50] under Boot tab - Boot Mode: UEFI; Secure Boot: Enabled; Boot Priority order: Linpus lite; HDD...; CDROM ...; ... [08:53] (if i can't fix this i'll try the 19.10 iso as well) [08:55] hi, does the 18.04.3 installer support encrypting the disk or the home directories? [08:55] gioele: yes both [08:55] e|f: change the boot priority order [08:56] Eric^: thanks. Do you know where I can find the documentation? [08:56] e|f: i dont think the iso would help [08:56] !install | gioele perhaps here [08:56] gioele perhaps here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [08:56] ah :) i see the EFI file has appeared at the boot mode screen, heh [08:56] didn't notice that [08:56] ok, i'll change it [08:57] i have problem with ubuntu server rsyslog, when my client (mikrotik) send log to my server, the log overide not append, how to make the log append [08:58] oh wow [08:58] jesus christ [08:58] finally, a breakthrough [08:58] yeah, i have the splash screen now [08:58] how much time did i spend on this, lol [09:11] s4yang: probably best to share via a pastebin your client and server config [09:12] e|f: nice [09:13] uefi can be a pain sometimes cause of the manufacturers [09:13] it's taking a while to load but i'm being patient with it :) [09:17] Hello. Is there a way to get the available "desktop size" between any top and bottom panels in the MATE DE? [09:18] e|f: try pressing Esc it should show something, it's probably a graphics issue or so [09:19] !nomodeset | e|f [09:19] e|f: Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. [09:19] yeah it finally loaded [09:19] vlt: there's a pixel ruler program you could download i guess [09:19] it's called "screen ruler" [09:27] After pressing ESC... it's finally said "You are in emergency mode..." "Press Enter for maintenance (or press control-D to continue)" [09:33] EriC^^: I was looking for something to use programmatically in a script. More like xdpyinfo. [09:33] Hi, I need some kind of post it notes for Ubuntu 18.04 and tried almost all of them. I like xpad but I would need a possibility to pin them on top while using other programs. How can I do that? [09:42] I have skype installed, but the audio output has suddenly gone very bad, nothing else seems to have been affected. I have tried fiddling with the configuration, but there hasn't been any improvement. does anyone know what I can do to fix this? [09:48] azeam: Thanks! Odd phenomenon. What make is the battery? [10:08] <__raven_> lotuspsychje: 19.10 live is able to use all 4 displays simultaneously. any way of copying any setting or finding out the culprit? [10:11] Hi i'm trying to preseed bionic from whith a floppy containing the d-i selections. Seems like netboot 18.04 has floppy driver but doesn't automatically mount fd0. Is there any way to ask so from boot params ? Thx [10:20] hi, how can I get the following unit to work correctly? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tf2hPGXYfD/, with the user's login shell set to /sbin/nologin or /bin/false, I can't get it to start [10:25] voltagex: maybe in line 29 replace /usr/bin/bash with /bin/bash [10:26] voltagex: there's probably a command to see the log of the service [10:30] on 18.04.3 with Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI system-/logic-/main-/mother-board, onboard sound (Intel) stopped working after a kernel upgrade in the last few months... plz help fix! :) [10:33] EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b8Yn5FQHcF/ [10:36] voltagex: no idea [10:43] what's the best utility to create a bootable usb? I've tried gparted and dd but my flash drive/usb doesn't seem to work [10:55] marz_d`ghostman: ubuntu has an internal app to create bootable usb [10:57] lotuspsychje: what app is that? [10:58] marz_d`ghostman: the usb creator app, wich ubuntu version are you using? [10:59] Ubuntu 16, I'm not creating a bootable ubuntu drive htough [10:59] marz_d`ghostman: wich Os are you trying to burn? [10:59] it's a firmware updater from Dell [10:59] https://www.dell.com/support/home/ph/en/phbsd1/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=FV3R1&oscode=naa&productcode=poweredge-R620 [10:59] !biosupdate | marz_d`ghostman [10:59] marz_d`ghostman: To see how to update your bios on Ubuntu visit the community collected methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [11:26] bcx: this may be more of a topic for #ubuntu-server. also, have you considered better options than working with floppies in 2020? and what is this hardware? === sonOfRa is now known as cbI [11:37] marz_d`ghostman: unfortunately dell does not yet support firmware updates on poweredge systems via fwupd / lvfs: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/search?value=Dell+poweredge-R620 [11:38] ok this is weird [11:38] I have a logitech c920 [11:38] actually I have two, luckily. if I plug in one, it shows up with its microphone in pavucontrol etc, but it is silent [11:38] if I plug it out and try the other one, same result [11:39] if I plug it in, then plug another in, the second works, the first stays silent. I can then unplug the first and leave the second working [11:41] marz_d`ghostman: but as the download page you pointed to explains, "Multiple methods are available to use the Bootable ISO like iDRAC virtual media, network location, USB drive and CD-ROM." and the USB drive installatio instruction (further down that page) states "Run any Bootable USB drive creator software." on ubuntu desktops, usb-creator-gtk and -kde are available. there is similar software which also works on a CLI, such as "mkusb", but [11:41] that's not part of ubuntu. === sonOfRa_ is now known as sonOfRa [12:07] I have skype installed, but the audio output has suddenly gone very bad, nothing else seems to have been affected. I have tried fiddling with the configuration, but there hasn't been any improvement. does anyone know what I can do to fix this? [12:11] neildugan: did you try restarting? [12:33] tomreyn: actually i'm using packer on vSphere vms [12:44] i used to get an option during installation to do disk encryption .. i no longer see it. how can i encrypt the disk ? [12:46] Howdy folks [12:53] EriC^^, No, that is something I should have thought of myself, I am imbarrased that I didn't [12:54] neildugan: no worries, hopefully it doesnt keep happening, then maybe a different kernel might help [12:54] EriC^^, restarting skype doesn't work, it still malfunctions [12:55] i meant the pc neildugan [12:55] please i need help installing wine [12:55] winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic) [12:56] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[13:01] sudo apt install wine-stable doesnt work [13:05] doesn't work in what way? [13:06] https://linuxhint.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/u1.png Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security ... i don't see this option anymore [13:10] oh i see it actually but it would erase windows too ?? [13:10] ph88: Correct, volume encryption is not recommended for dual boot systems [13:11] is there another type of encryption i can still apply ? [13:11] ph88: You can encrypt your home directory, which honestly should be enough [13:11] how do i do that ? [13:13] ph88, that option is really not in the installer anymore; you need to install normally and then run sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u user and take care of the swap [13:14] ah ok [13:14] is there a tutorial on that ? [13:15] ph88, https://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu/ [13:17] is it still up to date from 2017 ?? [13:17] i think so [13:18] thank you [13:18] no prob [13:19] ph88: this could also be an option - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ext4_encryption - ext4 file system encryption. but most of the time you really want FDE. [13:19] tomreyn: It's a dual boot machine... not recommended [13:19] i don't think i can do FDE with windows alongside ubuntu [13:20] pragmaticenigma: why not? [13:20] ph88: the installer doesn't support it but i don't see why you can't [13:21] how will windows be able to boot when it's encrypted ? [13:21] you wouodn't encrypt the windows partition [13:21] *wouldn't [13:22] i understood FDE as full disk encryption [13:22] i only have one disk [13:22] yes, that's a bit misleading [13:23] normally, with dmcrypt-luks, you encrypt data on partitions, not the entire disk [13:24] ph88, would be more correct saying that there is no 'trivial way' to do that [13:24] is this using dmcrypt-luks ? https://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu/ [13:24] nope [13:25] so there is dmcrypt-luks, ext4 crypt and cryptsetup [13:25] ph88, ecryptfs-utils != cryptsetup [13:28] cryptsetup is a user space utility for managing dm-crypt encrypted devices [13:30] anyone using the QT Adwaita theme? I can't get it to switch to dark on all apps [13:31] Phruis`: are you using a stock adwaita theme or a downloaded one, on wich version of ubuntu? [13:31] https://github.com/FedoraQt/adwaita-qt [13:31] 19.10 [13:33] Phruis`: can you pastebin: apt policy adwaita-qt please [13:34] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HWHD52cpHJ/ [13:35] i installed from source [13:36] should i use the package? [13:36] Phruis`: please install the version from apt to doublecheck [13:41] Hello everyone. I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and have problem with I-nex (which I installed several months ago). At first it worked fine, but from 2-3 months I can't even open it. When I type "i-nex" in terminal I got the following error: "ERROR: #2: Cannot load class 'JSON': Bytecode too recent. Please upgrade Gambas." [13:41] It would be great if someone is familiar with this problem and can help me. [13:43] lsfc1914: you installed i-nex with the external ppa? [13:43] lsfc1914: That doesn't appear to be a software package available in the official Ubuntu software channels. You will have to contact the developer for assistance [13:44] allright [13:44] thank you [13:45] Is there something similar in the official Ubuntu software? [13:45] lsfc1914: have you at least tried to update gambas3 like the error suggested? [13:45] not with gambas i think [13:46] tatertots: if volunteers advice the support elsewhere, please dont continue support here [13:53] lsfc1914: You could build your own using Conky, which has many of the same features, but is more tooled for real time performance monitoring [13:53] Conky also has pre-made and/or community provided premade setups [14:12] greetings, what setopt can I use to have human readable timestamps in my zsh history file? [14:14] isomari: that's probably a good question for #zsh [14:16] hi there [14:16] apt-cache policy shows a fine version table but no candidate. installint the package with package=$version installs the package with success but otherwise apt sais "no candidate" [14:16] how is that possible? [14:16] its an third party repository [14:18] tomreyn: Thanks. Seems everyone is sleeping over there. [14:19] Silicium: low priorities? [14:21] does that matter if there is no alternative? [14:21] Priority is Extra [14:21] no dependencies [14:22] right architecture :) [14:22] Silicium: can you show the apt-cache output (after apt update) on a pastebin? === conjo is now known as bbd [14:22] yes [14:23] its about filebeat package (elasticsearch) using 5.x repo works, 7.x doesnt work. seems to be a OS dependency but there are no dependencies [14:24] working 5.x repo: https://pastebin.com/iWgeVFB7 [14:25] that's not apt-cache policy output for a specific package [14:25] is it possible to clone an hard drive whilst in use with dd or would it render the image unusable or so? [14:26] non working 7.x: https://pastebin.com/kCr4QJrT [14:26] ok not policy [14:26] non working policy: https://pastebin.com/GBGFvVf4 [14:27] Silicium: priority -10, wont be considered [14:28] read apt_preferences(5) [14:29] section "How APT Interprets Priorities" [14:30] vlm: possible: yes, a good idea if the goal is to have usable data at the destination but there are read-write-mounted file systems on the source: no. === fling_ is now known as fling [14:31] vlm: you can use lvm or btrfs or zfs snapshots instead [14:33] tomreyn: ok thanks ill rather do it offline then to keep data [14:37] Hello Everybody [14:38] tail -F appserv.log | grep Working >> push_api.log [14:38] Why this command is not working ? [14:38] I want grep to send the output to push_api.log [14:39] Please help [14:40] raddy: "not working" isn't a good problem description. Please be more specific. === real_walnut_burl is now known as walnut_burl [14:41] SwedeMike: The grep output is not being sent to the file [14:41] what is the output of the command && do you have write permissions in the directory where you are trying to write push_api.log? [14:42] WaV: I ran that command as root [14:42] Any output? [14:42] raddy: does it work without the >> ? [14:43] raddy: does it then work as expected and show it on the screen? [14:43] SwedeMike: It is working if tail -F hits_BRTS.log | grep Working >> push_api.log [14:43] Sorry without >> push_api.log [14:44] thats a differently named log file [14:45] tomreyn: It is working if tail -F hits_BRTS.log | grep Working [14:45] But not to the log file [14:45] There is no spelling mistake [14:46] it may be due to output buffering [14:47] tomreyn: What is that ? [14:49] raddy: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154861/why-does-tail-f-tail-fail-to-produce-any-output/154862 [14:49] http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/stdio_buffering/ [14:49] morning all [14:50] hi [14:50] someone her from the gLabels project?
