[00:00] sarnold: Well, I'm a maintainer of a java game engine and our openGL Backend depends on lwjgl2 (as lwjgl3 still has it's quirks for us). And as I am usually the guy who has to fix things when others give up, that's my joy for this week :D [00:01] Now lwjgl2 depends on AWT (the window toolkit) with a "versioned reference" and this causes glibc to assert when trying to load lwjgl2 [00:05] Darkchaos: so, this is WILD SPECULATION. the https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lwjgl package shows it's unchanged since xenial -- when it was build with g++ 5.x [00:06] Darkchaos: I wonder if your much newer builds may not be compatible with something so old. I can't recall any c++ abi differences between xenial and bionic but I'm also pretty far removed from those events [00:07] sarnold: That shouldn't be a problem, as AdoptOpenJDK and other Distributions work, only the one from Ubuntu doesn't. Even Debian seems to be working (and it works on the same code, so I could only speculate that gcc 8 fixes it and gcc 7 breaks it) [00:07] Maybe also one of the ubuntu patches of gcc break it [00:09] heh, good point, debian hasn't rebuilt since 2016 either https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/lwjgl [00:10] well lwjgl only seems to trigger the bug by depending on "libjawt.so" with a versioned reference [00:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1838740 is the issue [00:10] Launchpad bug 1838740 in openjdk-lts (Ubuntu Focal) "libjawt.so inconsistency lets JVM crash" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:10] They have a different way of triggering the bug, but still [00:13] i'm trying to configure and run samba ad and i'm running into an issue [00:14] it seems to be failing on the mit kdc daemon [00:17] Darkchaos: it'd be worth tacking on a note with your findings; the one guy is suggesting too-new gcc is a problem, heh [00:17] sarnold: Well, I am the last one commenting there, I just did have this name registered already with NickServ [00:18] aha! [00:32] Greetings, on a freshly installed Xubuntu 18.04.3 system... and installed realmd, sssd-ad, and oddjob-mkhomedir... and joined the system to a Microsoft Active Directory domain... and I can authenticate... but it fails to create a directory for me when I login. Are there some other packages that need to be installed for that to work? [00:34] dowdle: do you get any errors logged to the journal or log files? [00:34] dowdle: how about the other hosts on the network? [00:37] sarnold: This is the first ubuntu-based system I've tried to do this on... so I'm not sure about other hosts. I'm more familiar with CentOS and Fedora... and so what works on those, is working well on Xubuntu except for the home directory creation part. [00:45] sarnold: Thanks for answering... I did a "journalctl -f" while logging in... and I didn't see anything that looked relevant... no errors about home directory creation failure. [00:46] dang :( [00:46] Unfortunately I have to run... but I'll do some web searches later and get it figured out. [00:52] every minute, the lock screen clock bleeds through to my desktop when the number changes. Stays there until something draws over it [00:53] very distracting .. any ideas? [00:59] sarnold: I figured it out... I had to run pam-auth-update and enable "Create home directory on login". [01:00] dowdle: awesome! [01:00] dowdle: thanks for reporting back :) [01:03] sarnold: Sure thing. Most of the instructions I found from web search had a lot of file editing for not good reason. All one needs to do is: "reamld join -U $user-who-can-join $DOMAIN.NAME" [01:04] Then edit /etc/sssh/sssd.conf and to turn off full domain name requirement... and then that pam-auth-update part... and it is actually pretty easy. Yeah, one file to edit but that just lets one not have to do fulldomain\username and instead username [01:04] Anyhoo... [01:04] Later [01:26] 18.04.4 was supposed to be released a couple of days ago but I can't find it [01:26] should i install docker.io or docker-ce on Ubuntu 19.10? [01:26] entourage: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2020-February/004897.html [01:28] sarnold, thanks [01:33] Spotify is not working for me [01:33] The browser version keeps telling me to enable DMR [01:33] and the desktop version is slower than a turtle [01:34] not sure what to do === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [01:51] I installed ubuntu and checked the ZFS option now after an update my bios does not detect a bootable device so I assume GRUB is damaged. The entire drive is apparently zfs and I have no idea how to fix it. [01:54] Some say use mount others say fuse, bsd and solaris each have their separate version of ZFS. And neither nautilus nor gparted or any other tool seems to interact with zfs. [01:56] are you booting UEFI or BIOS? did you install UEFI or BIOS? [01:57] sarnold: I installed and boot UEFI, but I tried both methods since it has happened in the past. [01:57] I even tried disabling the hypervisor and several other bios options. [01:58] (is zfs even supported without UEFI?) [01:58] what is correct way to run webserver on ubuntu [01:58] do i just add /var/www/html to nginx group? [01:58] then add my user to nginx group [01:58] ? [01:58] good question; my one BIOS system that uses ZFS doesn't have root on ZFS, just a storage pool.. and my ZFS-on-root systemis UEFI [01:59] vion: before zfs was added to the installer, community members put together a guide on how to do it by hand [01:59] @celphi doesnt nginx has a sites-enabled file in /etc/ ? [02:00] vion: at the end of the guide is a very quick troubleshooting piece https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS#troubleshooting [02:00] So is GPU offloading supposed to work with intel/nvidia setups (using the proprietary nvidia drivers) in Ubuntu 20.04? [02:00] vion: probably skip the cryptsetup step, but the zpool export / import / zfs mount commands ought to be useful [02:01] silg: that file exists but im trying to add html files to my www dir and im getting permissions error-- so im wondring right way to do this [02:01] sarnold: I think I will just get my files and call it quits on saving the system, but it would be nice if grub worked [02:01] do i just add my user to nginx group and add /var/www/html to nginx group and make it 774? [02:01] celphi: I think it's a bad idea for the webserver to have write access to its files, but that's the debian way -- run the daemon as www-data and have the files owned by www-data [02:02] yeah just check your file permissions [02:02] sarnold: then how would you save files sarnold ? [02:02] sarnold: I want to redo my zfs root installation with cryptsetup at some point... require a USB key inserted to mount the root fs [02:03] vion: it's probably still worth trying these ~dozen commands, they might let you just run update-grub [02:03] sarnold: hey so I noticed my bios had the drive set to raid and not ahci is that usual? I tried switching it up and it did nothing different [02:03] celphi: it depends upon how you want to manage the files; maybe you create a new group for them, maybe you create a new user for them, maybe you just use your user account already.. it depends upon what you're trying to do to, how many people need to be able to change them, etc [02:04] vion: I think ahci ought to be the usual choice [02:04] im just trying to run a webserver out of /var/www/html.. i usually do it as root but im new to ubuntu [02:04] i usually just make my files but i get a bunch of permission issues [02:04] sarnold: I checked the machine over hoping i didn't some how install grub to an sdcard or flash stick by accident lol [02:05] i can easily do chown newuserhere html/ [02:05] but is that irght way? [02:06] celphi: avoid using cp and use mv instead to avoid all that permission hassle [02:06] celphi: chown -R probably, but yes, that's certainly a fine way to do it if you just want to keep it simple [02:06] also there's cp -a [02:06] vion i cant even make a file- [02:06] have to sudo everytime [02:06] ty sarnold [02:07] celphi: touch nameoffile [02:07] same thing error [02:07] im just going to do usermod -a -G nginx [02:08] celphi: hold up is your user not in the sudo group? [02:08] and add my user to nginx group [02:08] it is [02:08] celphi: I like that nginx user idea even better :) [02:08] celphi: what about that wheel group [02:08] not wheel but sudo is there [02:09] if you are doing it graphically then needs wheel group I think [02:09] yeah im not sure i want to give my user the wheel group access [02:09] nginx group seems like a better option [02:11] is there a reason why a webserver directory would need X [02:11] permissions [02:11] for everyone [02:12] can i just do 774? [02:12] nvrmind [02:12] only works for 775 [02:12] nginx is some kind of proxy server that has all manner of porthole for plugging [02:13] one would add the user to www-data .. [02:13] oerheks: i went with nginx instead [02:13] celphi: you using the load balancing or cache features? [02:13] possibly [02:13] celphi: because nginx is running as user www-data, it needs to access the docroot via the 'other' permissions [02:13] mostly for reverse proxy [02:14] i run it as user nginx [02:14] oh snap lol. [02:14] ubuntu has it different [02:23] how come ubuntu is not adding my user to group? [02:23] im doing `sudo usermod -a -G "www-data" usernamehere` [02:23] you need to log in in order to get new supplemtnary group memberships [02:24] do what? [02:24] I saw some guide that suggested to setup a crontab for when I reboot my server to restart irssi but I've setup irssi under a user 'irssi'. How do I do that? [02:24] i have to logout and log back in ? [02:24] celphi: the easy thing to do is log out and log back in again [02:24] @reboot su irssi screen -S irssi [02:24] robertparkerx: sudo -u irssi crontab -e ... screen -S irssi something [02:25] ah lol [02:25] Ty [02:27] @reboot screen -S irssi [02:27] is that valid [02:27] sarnold: didnt work [02:27] still same groups [02:27] i typed `groups` and it's not listed` [02:28] celphi: hrm, try adduser, it's less typing: adduser celphi www-data [02:29] thats weird [02:29] it says im already a member [02:29] but it doesnt show it listed [02:30] you may need to logout, switch to a tty, login there, run "loginctl terminate-user $USER", log out there if needed (but you should get logged out automatically), switch back to the graphical login, login. [02:30] so, very convenient ;) [02:30] check this out [02:30] tomreyn: what's the loginctl bit for? [02:30] sarnold: destroying lingering systemd user sessions, i think [02:30] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Ti6Qx7qb/image.png [02:31] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1045993/after-adding-a-group-logoutlogin-is-not-enough-in-18-04 [02:31] Does that image make any sense to you? [02:32] if i `su kerafyrm` i see the group i added. [02:32] but if i exit back to kerafyrm it shows a different set of groups [02:33] that's unrelated, but makes sense to me, yes [02:33] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/v8rHqMv9/image.png [02:33] better image [02:33] how is this possible? [02:33] you seem to have incorrect expectations about what "su kerafyrm" does. [02:34] doesnt it switch user? [02:34] maybe you wanted to run "sudo -u kerafyrm -i" [02:34] `su` doesnt mean switch user? [02:35] sudo only executes one sudo command [02:35] "su" is short for "switch user", yes. but this is not a precise definition of what it does. [02:35] you'd still see differences about group membership when using sudo as suggested. [02:35] It means "substitute user [02:36] Nowhere in the man page for su does it mention the word "switch". [02:36] whoops, i think nelgin is right there [02:36] celphi: hmm, what does 'getent initgroups kerafyrm' report? [02:36] how is it that with my `whoami` i see kerafyrm and only two groups but then when i exit and do `whoami` again how do i get more groups? [02:36] 33 sarnold [02:37] nelgin: ... nor the word "substitute" ;) [02:37] celphi: oh shit. [02:37] celphi: do you still have a root shell somewhere? [02:37] hi everyone! [02:37] celphi: do you still have a shell with sudo in the groups output? [02:38] I have something peculiar to show y'all [02:38] It does in the CentOS man page ;) [02:38] root shell somewhere? [02:39] celphi: ASAP run sudo adduser kerafyrm sudo [02:39] https://imgur.com/a/llpQWtK [02:39] I get this same error every time I try to boot ubuntu [02:40] I boot into emergency mode with no option to use recovery mode or a shell. Attempting to recover from a live disks has so far proved ineffective. [02:41] thenori: which error exactly, the one in red on the bottom line? [02:41] "+ shellcheck 'src/*.sh' - src/*.sh does not exist" [02:42] Frankly I'm baffled. I've never encountered shellcheck as a part of the boot process before and I'm unsure why it's looking for "src/*.sh". [02:42] it feels like there's a shellcheck src/*.sh command stuffed in your /etc/*profile* or something [02:42] That seems rational [02:43] celphi: have you added yourself back to the sudo group yet? [02:43] As I've gotten a live disk running at last, testing such a hypothesis should be trivial [02:49] Aha! [02:49] A grep has got me to grok it [02:49] thenori: whoohoo, where was it? :) [02:50] > /etc/bash.bashrc:shellcheck src/*.sh [02:50] that'll do it ;) heh [02:51] it's nearby some other commands [02:51] > set -euo pipefail [02:51] >set -o xtrace [02:51] and that's why it dies, heh [02:52] what do those do? [02:52] I don't know how it got there, frankly. I don't touch /etc/bash.bashrc [02:52] set -euo pipefail is a common way to try to make shell scripts more useful [02:52] set -e will die on errors [02:53] but commands in the middle of a pipeline that die don't trip the set -e [02:53] so pipefail tries to catch those failing too [02:53] set -u makes unset variables painfully loud [02:54] set -o xtrace writes tracing information to the output, which is how you spotted the error at all. without that this probably would have been a thousand times more confusing [02:54] so, nothing out of the ordinary [02:55] but combined they mean that the shell is not going to work well at boot [02:55] which reminds me [02:55] celphi: have you added yourself back to the sudo group yet? ASAP run sudo adduser kerafyrm sudo [02:55] because if celphi logs out or reboots or something, he or she's going to be stuck doing the same thing you';re doing, trying to use the rescue environment to get the computer back === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:57] rescue environment didn't work at all [02:57] I've never encountered 'emergency mode' before [02:58] thenori: cripes [02:58] I am using sublime text which borrows the system font for its left panel. How do i change the system font on ubuntu 18.04? [02:58] just a recursive loop [02:58] thenori: you've made me wonder if bash will read those if you use init=/bin/bash even :) [02:58] there are probably other shells [02:58] i mean i just did [02:59] thenori: ah I thought you went to rescue disk [02:59] thenori: how much csh do you remember? :) [02:59] none [02:59] erf, tomreyn, how much csh do you remember? :) [02:59] i hear fish is popular [02:59] about as much as thenori [03:00] i know people use zsh too [03:00] with trolls, yes [03:00] the "make nothing work right" shells, heh [03:02] gnome-tweak-tool can handle font settings [03:02] Is anyone here familiar with na_record from speech-tools? I can't get it to capture anything. Just exits immediately. [03:03] not sure if sublime text in confined snap behaves differently [03:03] Anyone using ubuntu on 4k? I could use some help configuring font sizes [03:03] 2560x1440+0+0? [03:05] kyle__, ? [03:05] !info gnome-tweak-tool [03:05] gnome-tweak-tool (source: gnome-tweaks): adjust advanced settings for GNOME - transitional package. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.34.0-2 (eoan), package size 1 kB, installed size 12 kB [03:06] oerheks, that did not help [03:06] cgi: Is that close enough to 4k? I haven't looked at monitor marketing terms in ages. [03:06] oerheks, I set all my fonts large - and sublime text still renders small fonts. The "X" button on windows is still very tiny. The spacing between the words on a window top is still messed up [03:07] With that monitor, I use st built with a monospace font at 12 point, antialiased. [03:07] for 19.10 there are some tweaks, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/10/how-to-enable-fractional-scaling-in-ubuntu-19-10-eoan/ [03:07] Works great. [03:07] kyle__, its 3840x2160 or something like that [03:07] Ahh ok. [03:07] I am on 18.04LTS - no fractional scaling here [03:08] cgi: Theoretically, on a properly designed graphics system, it knows the resolution of your monitor, and the physical dimensions, and a 12 point font will be the same size regardless of what monitor you're on. [03:08] i've never encountered any issues with text scaling in vim [03:08] But after 30 years I think Apple is still the only company that actually does that :/ [03:08] company, OR organization. [03:09] kyle__, maybe time to ping canonical/gnome with a suggestion? [03:10] how about a wayland session? your issue is linux wide, i believe [03:10] anyways, tyvm sarnold :) [03:10] gonna go reboot and get this bb running [03:11] btw: if anybody ever shittalks ubuntu to you, let it be known that that is the only live disk that worked [03:11] not kali, not nothing [03:11] oerheks, have you used wayland ? [03:12] wait was thenori running a blackbird?? [03:13] cgi, sure, but not with newer hardware and 4k [03:19] celphi: have you added yourself back to the sudo group yet? ASAP run sudo adduser kerafyrm sudo [03:27] okay sarnold [03:27] thenori: "bb" .. is that a blackbird? :) [03:28] or just "bionic beaver"? [03:28] "bad boy" also wouldn't surprise me.. but I want to believe :) [03:30] https://imgur.com/a/Ljbm34h [03:31] i am not sure hat you're referring to but i am oe to notice that my uu key is still disabled on this box [03:32] hmm; did you remove the set -euo pipefail and set -o xtrace lines? [03:32] what else was in that file? [03:32] nope, all i removed uuas shellcheck [03:33] remove those two lines as well [03:33] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zBdng7sFgR/ [03:33] there's my /etc/bash.bashrc -- I can't recall what I changed vs what was there already, but it ought to be close to what you've got... [03:33] maybe this will help you spot other strange lines that ought not be in that file [03:34] alright, I uuill do so [03:35] before i begin another episode of voyager, though, i uuill reset this box so that i may regain control over my uu key [03:35] hehehe [03:35] fareuuell [03:35] see ya [03:38] whee [03:38] uuelcome back [03:38] i can type two `u` at once [03:40] gdit i can't turn around for a minute without something falling apart around here [03:40] no sound [03:40] bother [03:50] Hi I'm trying to setup a systemd service to fix the screen size automatically and it's not working. I tried the following at https://askubuntu.com/q/1208933/835021 [03:51] I did some further digging and found that by default xrandr doesn't have access to the DISPLAY environment run as root. If I explicitly set it up in the systemd service as :0.0 it's still unable to set the display size. [03:51] lunorian: there's got to be something way better than that. I don't know what. [03:51] lunorian: it'll also need an .Xauthority for the running server [03:51] For the time being on every login I have to run /usr/bin/xrandr --output eDP-1 --scale 0.66x0.66 manually [03:52] I assumed that since systemd is running as root it wouldn't matter [03:53] I'd also like the login screen to have a pretty resolution [03:54] setting the display size with xrandr is perfect aside from the context issues making the systemd service not work [03:54] the manpage for the xauth(1) command describes how the whole authentication thing works; it's best to NOT USE xauth to try to solve the problem though [03:54] but I seriously hope there's a way to get the same change to your X server via xorg configuration changes instead [03:55] Won't ubuntu overwrite those on system updates? [03:55] That's why I figured it'd be best to just setup a startup service [03:55] there's no configs by default, so nothing to overwrite [03:57] so meanwhile [03:58] what's another way I can solve this [03:58] add another environment variable XAUTHORITY to your service that points to the Xauthority file created when launching the X server [03:59] Could you show me an example? [04:01] lunorian: it'd be something like: Environment="DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=whatever" [04:01] lunorian: and the 'whatever'is wherever the X11 server's Xauthority file has been stored [04:08] alright sarnold we're back in action [04:09] thenori: sweet! [04:09] however the action is not 'booting up' it is 'grepping' [04:09] thenori: not sweet! [04:10] i grepped a few of the lines that were in the screenshot [04:11] skel/.bashrc:[ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(SHELL=/bin/sh lesspipe)" [04:11] that should be fine [04:11] /etc/skel/ isn't executed during boot [04:12] hm. I was inclined to start commenting stuff out. [04:12] it's used to populate homedirectories when you create new users [04:13] idk where should I start with this then? https://i.imgur.com/nveiBE6.png [04:13] I removed the two lines at the end of my /etc/bash.bashrc [04:14] aside from those, they're standard [04:15] thenori: did you remove the set -u ? [04:15] near the pipefail and xtrace .. [04:15] yeah, it was like set oup pipefail [04:16] removed both lines [04:16] hmm. I wonder why this stuff is still showing up [04:16] hm? it's not, i just haven't rebooted [04:16] OH [04:16] then you're probably good to go :) [04:16] if you say so [04:17] yeah, it's worth checking to see if these bits are fixed [04:17] I'm not sure why youi're getting into emergency mode in the first place, maybe this is it, maybe it isn't [04:18] if you say so o7 [04:26] heyyyy we have recovery mode [04:27] yay! now we get to solve the original problem ;) [04:27] very limited keyboard control for some reason, arrow keys aren't working proper [04:29] the screen is quickly flooding with input [04:29] oops looks like i'm in emergency mode [04:30] welp [04:30] can you snag another photo of it as early as possible? [04:30] sure, you won't like it though [04:30] heh === Taco is now known as DetectiveTaco [04:33] https://imgur.com/a/2hDNoyq [04:34] bet that isn't what you thought i meant when i said the screen is flooding with input lol [04:35] I saw something vaguely similar the other day [04:35] what was that.. something like an errant directory in a zfs mountpoint kept 90% of my zfs datasets from mounting.. [04:36] "input overrun" sounds a bit like a key is stuck on the keyboard === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [04:54] thenori: time for me to bail, good luck [06:05] Is it possible to have ubuntu/kubuntu desktop but run it in command line and do NOT load any UI? [06:06] sure, sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target # and you will boot in tty [06:06] sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target # would move back [06:11] I have a program (EAGLE specifically) that seems to black-screen after some time of being installed. This is the 2nd time it's happened. When I start it, the window is completely black, but it responds to mouse clicks as if the window elements are there. In fact, it can open new windows just fine, and those aren't black. [06:11] the 1st time was on another computer, also running Ubuntu [06:11] the way I "fixed" that was by downloading a newer version of EAGLE [06:12] Intelo: to switch from multi-user.target (or most other targets) to graphical.target use: sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target [06:12] that version is the same version that I'm currently experiencing the issue with [06:12] so the version isn't the problem [06:12] also, installation consists of uncompressing a .tar.gz [06:12] oerheks, thanks. How much rough difference in a)memory load b) hard disk space c) cpu is there in terminal based ubuntu and UI based? [06:12] so it's not installing anything into system directories [06:14] so is there anywhere that an application could be caching data that would make it not render? [06:14] again, the program works. It's just completely black [06:15] I haven't been able to find anyone else experiencing the same issue [06:15] but it's happened to me twice on different computers [06:16] I recently ran dist-upgrade, so maybe a graphics driver was updated? [06:16] but I have integrated graphics and none of my other programs have this issue [06:17] m5w: we can't really support suoftware which is not in ubuntu here, especially if it wasn't installed using a supported software packaging format - you'll best seek support from its developers. generally, the following storage locations could be used (amongst other): there is ~/.cache /run/user/$UID /tmp/ /var/tmp/ ~/.config/ ~/.local/ [06:19] tomreyn, ^ [06:20] Intelo: if you install any ubuntu desktop flavour then all of the graphical desktop is installed, so the same amount of disk space will be allocated whether or not you start the graphical desktop. about memory allocation, this can differ by the graphical desktop you choose (not) to install/run, check minimum system requirements for each. [06:21] tomreyn, How can I get a rough idea on numbers? [06:22] Intelo: for a CLI-only installation (i.e. ubuntu server / ubuntu-minimal) you'd see less than 10 GB disk space allocation (probably less than 4 GB really), and less than 1 GB RAM allocation. see ubuntu-server minimum requirements. [06:22] ah, so my problem was that DuckDuckGo doesn't always return the best search results [06:22] searched with google and found a bunch of people posting about this [06:22] apparently you need to run it with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 [06:23] m5w: this would enforce software rendering, disable (hardware backed) graphics acceleration. [06:24] Intelo: cpu resource allocation should be very minimal while idle on CLI, may be higher on a desktop if you have integrated graphics. [06:25] Intelo: are you asking for a concrete use case or just for fun? [06:25] tomreyn, concrete [06:25] tomreyn, idle apache server with one dummy page. i)ubuntu desktop ii) ubuntu server [06:26] well if you'Re running a server, run headless. [06:27] how do I scroll up in a console based terminal? [06:27] shift pgup/pgdown [06:27] tomreyn, thanks [06:28] tomreyn, I was planning to upload the virtual image to a vps and then run it. There are some applications that I dont what to do heavy configurations every time [06:28] tomreyn, is that a good idea? [06:29] it's a good idea to separate server and desktop use. [06:29] i do not know what "the virtual image" is [06:32] Hello, I am having difficulty getting ubuntu cloud image 18.04 to run on CentOS 8 using KVM and cloud-init [06:33] I can download the images, resize it, setup my cloud-init ISO, however when the machine boots there is no console access and it does not get an IP address via DHCP [06:41] Please can anyone offer any suggestions? [06:45] dsofeir: try #ubuntu-server === abirkill- is now known as abirkill [07:01] tomreyn, virtualbox* [07:19] Intelo: computer [07:26] How to troubleshoot a hanging boot? I decrypt disk, then just get a blinking cursor. [07:34] tomreyn, I meant to upload vdi to vps [07:49] does anyone know offhand if there is a ppa that has more current versions of qemu and virtualization software for ubuntu? [07:49] (i.e. virt-manager, et cetera)? [07:54] not that are up-to-date, afaict [07:54] at least not on launchpad [08:01] thx ducasse...looks like I'd need to move to 19.10 if I want at least qemu 4.0 [08:06] ElectroStrong: or wait two more months and install 20.04 (or wait some more months and upgrade to it) [08:06] or brave the beta and install 20.04 now [08:07] oh wait, it's before alpha still [08:10] might have to build it from source - I have vfio enabled for my setup but I'm running into wonderful USB centric issues with high bandwidth devices (and extreme DPC latency even after a lot of configuring) - it's workable, but not ideal - if I can experiment on another disk I may do so :) [08:11] hello how to split a file with minimum sized chunks that are evenly sized otherwise [08:11] bsld: 'man split' [08:12] I tried every command [08:12] every option I mean [08:12] I need them to have a minimum base size and then be evenly sized [08:13] I'm trying to mimic how jslinux file system is split [08:13] so I can create my own file system [08:13] '-b, --bytes=SIZE' 'put SIZE bytes per output file' [08:14] yeah but it leaves as the last chunk below the minimum [08:14] I want to be evenly sized starting at a base size [08:14] so pad it up to the minimum [08:15] that's how filesystems do it [08:15] what could be a possible command I'm looking for [08:15] to pad the last file [08:16] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/196715/how-to-pad-a-file-to-a-desired-size [08:16] first hit on a web search [08:17] thanks [08:31] I installed vpnc to connect to my corperate VPN. When I connect I expect my DNS to be sent to my company DNS server so I can resolve names of hosts on the office but on this fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04 it doesn't do that. Have a missed a setting? [08:33] s/20.04/19.10 [08:42]
