[00:01] (next questions would be whether it does toggle while Ubuntu starts up, if you know how to enter the BIOS or EFI setup, whether it toggles there, ??? to discern hardware failure.) [00:16] it doesnt toggle the keyboard light in gnome [00:16] it toggles if i boot into windows [00:19] i'll check on the other things but i'm going to have to log out for a minute [00:22] When people gets back.. they just need to run "xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'" in terminal to enable scroll lock [00:22] and then set up a script to run on login [00:30] Okay, so some answers: (1) The scroll lock toggles while Ubuntu is booting but stops being able to toggle when the DM starts [00:31] (2) The scroll lock toggles fine in the BIOS [00:31] Thu 05 00:22:33 < pragmaticenigma> When people gets back.. they just need to run "xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'" in terminal to enable scroll lock [00:31] (3) The scroll lock will not toggle in GNOME, nor will it toggle if I log out into the DM [00:31] Thu 05 00:22:47 < pragmaticenigma> and then set up a script to run on login [00:34] pragmaticenigma, sarnold, hi, glad to see you here! :D do you happen to have a better idea for taming my dpkg's insistence on chgrp-ing my /boot/vmlinuz-*? [00:35] Sven_vB: what's the problem? [00:35] That solution worked excellently! thanks! [00:35] I tried whether upgrading my packages might fix the NetworkManager issues, but I get this error: http://paste.debian.net/plainh/e5c0c6b0 is there a way to make dpkg skip chown or ignore its failure?¶ * Sven_vB temporarily re-mounted /boot with gid=root so dpkg would shut up about the owner of boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-91-lowlatency, and it did. [00:36] but manually remounting isn't a good approach I think [00:37] in case /boot is a FAT fs, IMO ideally dpkg should keep trying to chown/chgrp but ignore failure. [00:37] Sven_vB: what's in dmesg? [00:38] dunno, I'll try and reproduce it. [00:40] oh. meh. looks like that update killed my network connection. [00:42] however now NM actually does manage the devices, that's progress at least. I wonder if multistrap might have installed old versions of packages. [00:46] niiiice, NM works now. so at least that problem is solved. [00:51] so I tried to reinstall my vmlinuz. OS is Ubuntu bionic amd64. these are the latest error messages: http://paste.debian.net/plainh/d3428fcd no new messages appeared in "dmesg --follow" while I ran aptitude. [00:52] there are currently no files in /boot. (I moved all of them to /boot/bak) [00:52] (moved them before I ran aptitude) [00:54] mountpoint /boot is the ESP, formatted as FAT32, with GRUB in /boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.efi [01:41] I guess I'll go with the extra partition and GRUB magic. [01:50] Does anyone have experience running Ubunutu on a Threadripper 3990x? [01:50] I'm thinking about building an encoder machine but running only Ubuntu Server on it [01:54] HeliNomad: A place to start the research: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=2004-CPU-3990X-Plus-FX-9590 [01:55] Yes I saw that one... [01:55] was a little worried that it seems that I can't use LTS with threadripper [01:55] Was hoping maybe someone had some first hand on that. [01:55] This would be in a production environment so stability is key for long encodes. [01:56] I know many will say, then just go EPYC but we are on a tight budget. [02:14] how does ffmpeg not get sued ? supporting all those patented codecs === zbenjamin is now known as Guest68740 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:30] renomd: That's a great question to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux ... If you have a Ubuntu related support issue, please feel free to ask for help here. [02:30] i see, thanks === mrinfinity is now known as DeIver === DeIver is now known as mrinfinity [03:44] hi [03:44] i wanna config on ssh server [03:45] idk about steps for ssh server config [03:45] Rockwood: just doing an apt install ssh will get you most of the way there [03:45] okay [03:45] Rockwood: but note that any ssh server exposed to the public internet will get *tons* of automated bruteforce scans for common usernames and passwords [03:46] Rockwood: it's best to configure your clients to use ssh key authentication and disable ssh passwords [03:46] sure i will do that [03:46] key config [03:46] you can of course just use good passwords, but that's harder than it sounds, hehe [03:47] sudo apt install is enough? [03:47] sudo apt install ssh [03:47] that installs both server and client [03:48] installed [03:49] now i wanna access this from client [03:49] so how to config key === roczj1 is now known as roczj [03:50] Rockwood: ssh-keygen [03:50] okay [03:52] sarnold, enter file in which, what should be there? [03:52] sarnold, enter file in which save key, what should be there? [03:53] is it for name? [03:53] Rockwood: if it offers a default, that default is probably good [03:53] just need a enter? [03:53] yeah, I think so [03:54] (it's been years since I've used it, sorry) [03:54] done [03:55] now? [03:55] Rockwood: now use ssh-copy-id to copy the public portion of the key to the server [04:06] where i ve to paste ssh-copy-id? [04:06] sarnold, [04:07] Rockwood: you use ssh-copy-id on the client machine to copy the public portion of your ssh key to the ssh server [04:11] sarnold, done [04:12] now anymore thing i ve to do for ssh connect on client [04:15] can you rephrase that? [04:16] yes [04:16] i set there [04:17] means anymore steps are remain for prepare SSH server? [04:17] sarnold, [04:19] Rockwood: if you can log in to your server with your ssh keys, then you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find the password authentication line, and remove the comment: [04:19] PasswordAuthentication no [04:20] then sudo systemctl restart ssh [04:20] okay [04:20] I can't recall if errors would print out immediately or not, so check systemctl status ssh before going much further [04:21] alright, time for me to go :) have fun Rockwood [04:21] its showing connection close on port [04:21] closed [04:22] but it looks like ssh is running? [04:22] that connection closed onport *might* be one of the password bruteforce scanners I mentioned [04:22] can you log in again (check from a new terminal, don't close that one you've already got open, because it might be a pain to get back to the server otherwise :) [04:23] and make sure you can log in with your key, then make sure that you can't log in with your password [04:23] and now, off I go :) [04:23] thanks [04:23] cya [05:10] Hello everyone. I got modem to work so far, unsure about how I did. Now, I'd like to configure IrDA [05:12] Uhm, maybe are you all sleeping? [05:13] In fact it's quite early [05:13] or late, depending on the point of view [05:48] anyone here? [05:49] emmm [05:51] Hello everyone [05:51] How can I list infrared devices on my system? [05:52] There's a command I ran, but can't remember which [06:00] Nevermin, it was ir-keytable [06:25] good morning all, i wanted to vent my dissatisfaction, going from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, that i need to use 3 different hoops to jump through, to get all the context menu items in nautilus and the desktop back that where standard in 16.04, namely create text file on desktop, del perma & create link & refresh in nautilus [06:28] thumbs up though for obs now shipping standard with NVENC support from the repository, so i didnt need to build it my self this time with days of headaches :) === alex79002 is now known as alex7900 [06:46] is there a sources.list generator for 19.10 in usa? or at least a link to what sources.list should be for eoan? i'm getting unable to locate package iptables-persistent, i think i need a multiverse entry in sources?

[07:56] Kangarooo: which release is this? and please provide full output, use a pastebin. [07:57] I am afraid I might have a virus or have been hacked [07:57] I just found my trash full of all of my directories [07:57] and before, something tried to randomly print [07:58] Woodpecker, you have booted from a live usb stick to see this ? [07:59] vuurdraak: nope, I don't want to reboot in case my things go bye bye or in case its an ssd error [08:00] if you boot from a live usb stick unless its some very nasty goverment virus in your bios, it should at least start up without a virus [08:00] if it s a virus [08:00] if its a failing disk, then back up as quickly as posible [08:00] Has anyone ever experienced this? [08:00] yeah [08:00] you could run a virus scanner also [08:01] not seen all my folders end up in trash no [08:01] Im on 19.04, it wouldnt update me before because of bad ppas [08:02] do those virus scanners actually work? [08:02] clamav I think? [08:02] 19.04 is eol, no longer supported [08:02] i reinstalled ubuntu two days agao, i had two virus scanners on demand installed before clamav & sophos both free, i dont know if there are many linux virus signators though, they are mostely ment to scan for virusses in mail [08:02] couldnt hurt to try [08:02] true [08:04] wow i just discovered clam av is no longer in the repostory, thanks for reminding me to get both virus scanners back though i forgot about them :') [08:05] what the hell is happening https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Jv17v2Vx/image.png [08:05] in 18.04 [08:05] it looks prety weird [08:08] personaly i would boot from a live usb stick, if its a virus it would kick it out temporarely, if its a failing disk and the disk still works halve it should still work from the live usb, as u can 'try out ubuntu' and still copy and do stuff [08:10] vuurdraak: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/EuDp8Rf8/image.png [08:10] what is going on!? [08:10] thats the expected behaviour of that distro :D [08:11] idk joke [08:11] ah nvm I think my usb key ran out of space [08:11] @ducasse https://pastebin.com/kEphDqfU [08:12] Woodpecker, sorry i can not send you more usb sticks :') [08:12] !cookie | vuurdraak [08:12] vuurdraak: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [08:13] i got one usb stick always with ubuntu on it to boot/reaque from [08:13] resque*, and thanks :') [08:13] Kangarooo: which release is this? [08:14] 20.04 [08:14] !20.04 | Kangarooo [08:14] Kangarooo: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) will be the 32nd release of Ubuntu, scheduled for April 2020 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be a long-term support release. Join #ubuntu+1 for support and questions. [08:14] i need to go afk , may everybody find a solution to their problem [08:14] Kangarooo: other than that, 20.04 doesn't have python2 [08:15] @ducasse i just will use it and isntalled 5 days and 2 days ago to help bugs also. [08:15] ill stay with it daily version [08:15] ok ill do another partition install of pop linux to test for fun [08:15] Kangarooo: that package is not going to run on it [08:16] @ducasse so no solution at all means sometimes locked out of versions. :( [08:18] Kangarooo: to run it you need to stay on 18.04. you should also not be running 20.04 if you can't figure problems like this out yourself [08:24] well i didint use 18.04 because of Ubuntu bad menu, and another app not working on it. Should i go back to 14.04 when grass was greener and no corona viruss government.. Ill need to then try other distros or to use Bug #1..... [08:25] 14.04 is eol [08:31] ... WHY ARE THERE WEIRD RUSSIAN PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER?! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/uuO0iWnh/image.png [08:31] It looks like it was installed on wine or something [08:32] @Woodpecker [08:32] im so paranoid right now because of the random printing and random stuff being put into my directory [08:33] into my trash bin* [08:33] @Woodpecker theres writtenin russian ProTanks Multipack. [08:33] uninstalled, purged [08:33] its gone [08:33] Kangarooo: ah that makes sense. [08:37] Hello there! My 16.04 system froze beyond rescuing yesterday (not even Ctrl+Alt+Fx worked), and I had to forcefully restart. I am trying to investigate what went wrong /usr/bin/time strace journalctl --list-boots gives me this https://privatebin.net/?1ac25cd84044d884#9GHTLRWZcdu6dRSGNnhYdxt9XJCKhHcJYLJxMvRF2NJM [08:38] Woodpecker, I have disabled wine to run from the command line, it can run only on my system through playonlinux & lutris, upside of a windows virus running through wine is that it cant hide from the system monitor though [08:38] how are you getting strace messages from a command that doesn't involve strace? [08:39] im curious whether there have been wine viruses... [08:39] windows virusses can be just as devestating in wine as on native windows, no need for a special wine virus [08:40] stdedos: anyway, journalctl -b -1 -e is a good way to see the last messages from the previous boot, but usually after a crash the machine dies before being able to save the last log messages on disk so you usually don't get anything useful [08:40] Woodpecker: 19.04 is end-of-life, if you want support here you need to upgrade [08:40] Woodpecker, a windows virus running on wine giving a delete command works just fine deleting all ur stuff in linux [08:41] ducasse: im trying to do that right now [08:41] ducasse: whats the command? do-release-upgrade? [08:41] mgedmin so what are my alternatives to at least have some information when that happens? [08:41] Woodpecker: yes [08:42] !upgrade | Woodpecker [08:42] Woodpecker: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [08:42] thanks [08:43] Woodpecker, make sure you backed up all important stuff, like maybe your whole user folder [08:44] i had to reinstall fresh two days agao, as my dist upgrade faileed form 16.04 lts to 18.04 [08:49] I think I got the important things [08:52] mgedmin logs from the freeze day are mixed with logs from the previous day [08:52] Most interesting keywords are: oom killer, canary thread starving, and SIGABORT [08:52] Hey, so I've plugged my dumbphone in my computer, set it to (USB storage mode) and I can't mount it on ubuntu. I don't understand why. I've copied the logs I get when I type `dmesg` here. http://ix.io/2dro === tomjwatson_ is now known as tomjwatson === Gnexally7 is now known as Gnexally [09:04] stdedos: oh yeah, out of memory conditions can make the system appear to freeze for a looooooong time (tens of minutes) [09:04] things are worse when you have no swap file/partition [09:05] technically the system is not frozen, it's just busy 99.99999% of the time reading and writing memory pages from/to disk, and has no time to react to things like key events [09:06] I also usually have no patience to wait to see if the oom killer manages do do its job properly [09:06] and reboot with the magic alt-sysrq-s,u,b [09:19] hello [09:20] can you tell me if the tree command is present in a default installation ? [09:24] ok found it i have to install it [09:24] see you :) [09:28] So, I've installed 18.04.4 LTS on an AMD64 system, and one on a Raspberry Pi 4 (AMD64) system, and they have different kernel versions [09:29] Is it normal for two up-to-date 18.04.4 LTS installations to have two vastly (4.15.0 vs 5.3.0) different kernel versions? [09:30] sort of, yes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [09:31] if you install 18.04 LTS on one machine, you get the original 4.15 kernel; if you upgrade it to 18.04.4, you won't get the HWE kernel automatically [09:31] if you install 18.04.4 LTS, you'll get the HWE kernel [09:31] the idea is not to touch a working system, but to make new install media use a new kernel because newer hardware might require it [09:32] you can always opt in and install the hwe kernel on older installs, if you wish [09:35] RPi4 will be ARM64 too? [09:42] rasppi 4 is not AMD.. it is ARM [09:44] Doesn't take away from the HWE info above but arm64 version may run a different kernel [09:44] +1 [09:45] 5.0.0.23 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/linux-image-5.0.0-23-generic-lpae [09:51] You can run arm64 on Pi3 and 4 AFAIK [09:51] hf on Pi2 and Pi1 was armel. [09:53] mgedmin Excellent info, thanks! I did a fresh install of 18.04.4 so I figured I'd get latest kernel on both. I expect the Pi4 requires the newer kernel so the image starts with that. [09:54] I just did `sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04` to bump the amd64 install to 5.3.0 and I'm happy now [09:54] ah, right, I didn't stop to consider that different architectures may have different kernels [09:54] I only really care because I'm using them as kubernetes nodes and I want to minimise any risk in the kernel version breaking things [09:54] I believe the HWE kernel is only available for AMD64 and i386 [09:55] you have different CPU architectures and you're worried about kernel versions? ;) [09:55] !hew [09:55] !hwe [09:55] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [09:56] The base image I flashed the pi4 with (https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi/thank-you?version=18.04.4&architecture=arm64+raspi3) has 5.3.0 by default [09:56] mgedmin Good point :D [09:57] TheFuzzball, just to expand on sixwheeledbeast's info: the arm64 images are supported on pi3, 3+, cm3, cm3+, pi4 - I'm vaguely hoping to add pi2 (rev1.2) boards to that at some point but it's not a high priority; armhf obviously works on all [09:58] (well, all supported models - we don't support the 0/1) [09:59] Yep - somehow Ubuntu Server is the first distribution I've found that officially supports arm64 on the Pi4 - which is astounding. I read the Debian FAQ on it and it read kinda like "don't use raspberry pi they're crap" [10:00] I had an issue where there were no 32-bit arm docker images available for several things I need - specifically sonobouy to actually verify by kubernetes cluster is functioning correctly [10:00] TheFuzzball, I'm fairly sure I've seen arch and gentoo users with arm64 on the pi - no idea if it's official [10:01] arm thing kinda puts me off RPi TBH. There are plenty of SBC's that are amd64 although not at the same price. [10:01] hello [10:02] waveform Arch was my other choice - but didn't find good docs telling me arm64 is officially supported, or providing any images [10:02] Didn't look at Gentoo, but if it's a choice between Ubuntu Server and Gentoo, I'd just pick Ubuntu [10:03] sixwheeledbeast ARM is lower power and cheaper tho. I don't like that the Pi uses an old ARM chip relative to the smartphone market, for example. So they're a lot slower. [10:03] Price is a huge factor too [10:04] waveform Do you maintain the pi arm images? [10:06] TheFuzzball, I'm responsible for the pi images within the foundations team, so I'm generally the one to blame when things go horribly wrong in the classic and core pi images (these days - I'll take responsibility for 18.04.4 onwards, but nothing before :) [10:07] The dodgy USB-C was the nail in the coffin on the 4 and fixing it on the quiet doesn't help. [10:08] waveform Cool. Thank you for your work! [10:09] TheFuzzball, thanks :) [10:11] I need the newest version of git (2.25.1) but apt-get upgrade only gives me version 2.17.1, how do I upgrade with apt? [10:12] search for a ppa that might have a newer git package maybe [10:13] https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa looks promising [10:13] hi, I have a question wrt cron - the cron jobs are stored in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d/*, /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/*, and (user crontabs) in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/* [10:13] thank you mgedmin [10:13] anywhere else? [10:14] apurkrt: no, if you're interested only in real cron jobs and not, say, systemd timer units [10:15] * apurkrt do not know what systemd timer unit is [10:15] (technically /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}/* aren't special, but simply something a cron job defined in /etc/crontab runs via run-parts) [10:15] apurkrt: a systemd timer unit is like a cronjob but runs a systemd service [10:15] ah ok [10:15] throstur, mgedmin: thank you [10:47] more duplicated bloat bundled with an "init system" [10:48] * mgedmin headdesks === leion1 is now known as leion === leion1 is now known as leion === leion1 is now known as leion [11:37] Hi. Does anybody have experience with DisplayLink? After installation, my montitor (HDMI in the usb-c dock) is detected in xrandr, but says not connected [11:48] Hi folks [11:52] hi:) [11:56] Hey, I have a question about the `find -newerXY` thing. I do understand we can do e.g. `find -newermt 2020-03-04` to find files modfied after that day, but I did find something like this: `find -newerat 2` - and I can't find any explanation what does this '2' alone mean ( it's here btw: https://askubuntu.com/a/995241 ) [11:57] where is this actually described, in the man I can see we can define dates and time, and that's all, or IDK, I'm blind o.O [11:59] the find man page says "Time specifications are interpreted as for the argument to the -d option of GNU date." [12:00] the date man page doesn't fully describe the -d option, but refers to the date info manual [12:00] info is this weird gnu documentation standard from a parallel universe that never got wide adoption anywhere outside of the gnu project [12:01] i believe 2 = 2 x 24 hrs .. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/169798/what-does-newermt-mean-in-find-command [12:01] but you can find an online version at https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Date-input-formats.html#Date-input-formats [12:04] I can't find any official documentation for -newerat 2 [12:05] if you believe the claim it's the same as 'date -d 2', then it's 2:00 AM today [12:05] if it behaves like find -atime 2, then it's 2 days ago precisely [12:05] (well, not "precisely", there's rounding to the nearest day or something, described elsewhere) [12:06] mgedmin, that is what i think too [12:06] mgedmin, oerheks hmmm ok, thanks. I think I'll just be using precise dates, because I'm not sure why -newerat 4 shows me a file accesses 1h ago, but -newerat 13 does not o.O [12:07] newer than 4 AM today vs newer than 1 PM today? assuming the documentation is correct and it behaves like date -d [12:11] hi hlp me pls. ubuntu 18.04. there are udev rules for checking the USB-flash serial number and running the mount script and mounting the ecryptfs container. Added stemd-udevd.service [12:14] anyone there? [12:14] we're waiting for the question [12:15] :-) [12:15] (maybe your message got truncated after "Added stemd-udevd.service"?) [12:15] MountFlags=shared . The script works, but when i open the file writes are no rights. [12:16] but with manual mounting everything works well [12:17] share the script on paste.ubuntu.com please? [12:17] udev + ecruptfs + mount = not work [12:17] also, how exactly do you do a manual mount? [12:19] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tXrhcRsjkb/ [12:19] manual - just run script on root [12:20] I have doubts that 'who | grep tty7' will work on Ubuntu 18.04 ... [12:21] What is the recommended solution for better memory management? My system runs out of memory often, which pretty much requires a reboot [12:21] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xmXXy7Zp2W/ [12:21] Never seems to happen on windows [12:21] udev rules [12:21] ttamm: why does it run out of memory? [12:22] SwedeMike: mostly because of browsers hogging a lot of memory [12:22] I've got 8GB btw [12:23] problem in udev on version 16 works [12:23] ttamm: how much swap space do you have? [12:24] ttamm: you should never need to reboot. Exiting the application that uses a lot of memory should be enough [12:24] maybe we should add something else to the systemd-udevd.service [12:24] loiren: have you tried to compare the mount options between working (when script runs manually as root) and non-working (when script runs from udev)? [12:25] is "the file writes are no rights" because of the wrong file permissions, wrong ownership, or is the entire filesystem mounted readonly? [12:25] SwedeMike: I just erased the whole disk while installing ubuntu and it didn't create any swap partitions, thought it used swapfiles by default instead [12:25] is the usb formatted as vfat or ext4 or what (beneath the ecryptfs)? [12:26] SwedeMike: Problem is it hangs making it impossible to even exit apps [12:26] nosame rights and owner [12:28] i find this: The original udev command has been replaced by systemd-udevd. One of the differences is that it creates its own filesystem namespace, so your mount is done, but it is not visible in the principal namespace. (You can check this by doing systemctl status systemd-udevd to get the Main PID of the service, then looking through the contents [12:28] of /proc//mountinfo for your filesystem). [12:29] ttamm: hangs? If there is enough swap then it shouldn't hang. [12:29] ttamm: but 8GB today isn't much if you have a modern browser with lots of tabs. They love memory. [12:30] whan mount udev i can see /devices/virtual/bdi/ecryptfs-5 (bdi) [12:31] huh, but private namespaces would make the files invisible instead of readonly [12:31] i remove flash and manualy unmount? adn then insert flash i see /devices/virtual/bdi/ecryptfs-6 (bdi) [12:31] SwedeMike: Yeah I know, should upgrade soon but still I'm not sure why it's happening [12:33] ttamm: but it shouldn't stop working. Slowing to a crawl if it's swapping, sure... but it shouldn't require a restart. If you exit the browser then things should go back to normal after a while [12:33] Hello everyone. Could anyone, please, help me with fingerprint reader? It's a AuthenTec AES2501A [12:34] it's not unknown for linux to get into a swap storm so bad you have to wait 45 minutes for a ctrl+alt+f2 to switch ttys [12:35] -rw-r--r-- 1 linux linux 589 мар 4 08:56 10-alocal.rules [12:36] I try to look in mc it is impossible to open an input output error [12:36] on root [12:41] Ok, I made it to install drivers so far. Should I reboot, or what? [12:47] I found another slice: I need to add an apt repository, regardless security (force addition of the repo). How can I do? [12:48] The repo is: ppa:fingerprint/fprint [13:04] Ok, last byte: Where should I set allow-insecure=yes ? [13:04] In which file? [13:18] Please, I'm almost done (I guess) [13:26] hello for some reason my ubuntu server has no sources at all [13:26] i tried to use an online source generator [13:26] and now it seems to be trying to load mips architecture packages [13:26] whcih i dont have [13:26] rpifan: r u Raspberry Pi? [13:26] im at work atm [13:26] so im annoyedpifan [13:27] lol [13:27] Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com xenial/main mips Packages [13:27] does your connectionwork? [13:27] nvm im an idiot [13:27] i know what happeend [13:27] what? [13:28] im sshed into the ubuiquti hardware [13:28] which for some reason uses ubuntu [13:28] and they of couse dont have any sources [13:28] and so it of course uses mips as well [13:29] Ok... maybe you can help me: I need to put allow-insecure=yes in some apt file, but which? [13:30] why not just add the keys you need pirla [13:30] because they're not available [13:30] I'm trying to use repo fprint for finger print [13:31] sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 00000000 [13:32] allow-insecure=yes does not look like an apt option to me [13:32] apt uses a very different syntax for options [13:33] Key for that repo doesn't exist [13:35] hello anyone around? I just upgraded my ubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10 and Im now unable to boot [13:35] I get "overlay: missing lowerdir" [13:37] that's weird, ubuntu doesn't use overlayfs for anything by default [13:38] I mean, I have docker installed so I've a bunch of overlayfs mounts in my /proc/mounts, but would a docker startup failure break the entire boot? [13:38] what happens before and after that message? [13:40] Nevermind, I made it to work using this: https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui [13:41] mgedmin: not much; i get the prompt to unlock fde, then immediately get that message [13:42] i was able to modify my kernel params and by adding initcall_debug i actually get a little farther to a login prompt [13:42] howerver, there's still no graphical ui [13:43] nah, restarted, no luck [13:44] so since im able to get a login prompt im looking at the kernel log [13:45] oh yeah -the other message i see is aufs aufs_fill_super:920:mount[3405: no arg [13:48] Ok, I guess it's detected successfully, but with fingerprint-gui I get a segmentation fault at scanning fingerprints [13:49] Hooray!!! I made it to work!!!! [13:49] byez === kreyren is now known as kreyren[m] === kreyren[m] is now known as kreyren [14:54] Hi! is there a way to setup MX records and A records and stuff like that on ubuntu 18.04 winthout setting up bind. I notice resolve.conf is no longer managing the dns and they are using a new subsystem. thanks in advance [15:02] can someone help me add 2 monitors to my initial display pls ? [15:02] transhumanist: DNS records requires a DNS server like bind [15:17] Can someone help me add 2 monitors to my initial display pls ? on ubuntu [15:18] arad, what ubuntu version? [15:19] lastest [15:19] and how are they connected, all on 1 videocard? [15:19] "latest" is not a valid answer. [15:20] Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS [15:20] one dvi and 2 are hdmi [15:20] systemsettings > devices > displays .. here you can configure all displays [15:21] i hope you have connected them to the same videocard, not onboad and pciX card mixed.. [15:21] c/onboard [15:21] i know, but i cant see the displays there... only one [15:24] oerheks, of cours all same card [15:33] brunnner33: hi! [15:33] Now it works [15:34] : confused [15:44] would any problems happen if i add the repos of 18.04 to a 16.04's /etc/apt/sources.list ? [15:45] untakenstupidnic, yes, if you want to upgrade, that is the debian way, use the release upgrade protocol [15:46] !upgrade [15:46] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:46] I have an automated ubuntu install that deploys to a bunch of desktops. What's the best method to remotely configure them to use my servers ldap directory for authentication and set up user samba shares? [15:47] Or is there a simple tool to provision desktops with ubuntu? [15:47] Right now I'm using opsi [15:55] untakenstupidnic: no need to do that, you can jump directly from 16.04 to 18.04 using do-release-upgrade tool [16:06] my laptop hard disk's overall assement says self-test failed. What should I do to fix this? [16:07] arunkumar413: The drive is failing, loss of data is likely to happen. Back the data up now, and buy a new drive [16:09] EriC^: I don't really want that, i just want to install new software [16:09] untakenstupidnic, don't mix repos... [16:09] would installing over the same partition without reformatting work well? [16:10] untakenstupidnic, sure, it is an option within the installer [16:10] replace, upgrade, start fresh [16:10] pragmaticenigma, just ran the self-test again. Now it says Disk is ok, one attribute failed in the past. [16:12] pragmaticenigma, the one attribute that failed is the airflow temperature [16:12] Unable to copy all the SMART attributes [16:13] arunkumar413: That is concerning all the same... I would still make a back up of that data regularly.
