AlericIt being an opeion might make things different though, CaptRanger.00:00
AlligatorJoetripelb..have you tried sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk00:01
tripelbno AlligatorJoe (like the GD alligator?) could you link me to something explaining that too? I believe you but I remember better if I understand. (Now searching the google or the duck on that command.00:03
AlligatorJoetripelb what os are you using00:03
AlligatorJoetripelb..if you have ubuntu...try sudo apt-cache search usb-creator-gtk and see if you get an installable program listed00:05
tripelbfirst 2 links didnt work so I am just doing it AlligatorJoe 18.0400:05
tripelbAlligatorJoe, says it is already installed00:06
AlligatorJoewell if it is...just type that name in a linux terminal00:06
akemAs root, or with sudo btw.00:07
tripelbnow I have to learn how to use it. (I am doing a vanilla installation. I have too many cd"s dvd's I Oh mushrooms (shitaki) this is a cd. FAIL)00:07
akemBut this is for USB sticks, not disks.00:07
tripelbOh tiny tiny details.00:07
AlligatorJoetripelb...good grief.;..what is there to learn...it is just push-buttons00:07
AlligatorJoetripelb oh you want to burn a bootable cd00:08
tripelbAlligatorJoe, that is what I needed to learn. 10}it is for usb 20 itis pushbittpm00:08
tripelbwell ubuntu is too big for cd these days. I have to see if I have any dvds or find a free usb.00:09
tripelbAlligatorJoe, ^^00:09
tripelboff to search.00:09
=== ben_r_ is now known as ben_r
AlligatorJoei don't know anything about "only in the US" and bartenders...i never was able to get a job as a bartender so i know they were not talking about me00:16
AlligatorJoeand my bogus degree is in mathematics....of which i can say that smartphones, computers, satellites, rocket ships, the aerospace industry, automobiles, electrical machines like washers, dryers, PET scans, CAT scans, MRi's etc...are all evidence that math simply works.00:19
AlligatorJoeoh and i sure don't want to leave out the math underpinnings of vibrations in various quantum fields...for the structures of atoms among other things, and most importantly, music, melody and harmony all because math simply works00:22
AlericIs anyone else getting an error when you do:00:24
Alericls /usr/share/doc/flex/NEWS.Debian.gz/00:24
Alericnote the trailing '/'00:24
rfmtripelb, pretty sure the network installer (mini.iso) still fits on a cd.. https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads00:24
rfmAleric, I would expect putting a trailing slash to give "not a directory" on anything that's not a directory...00:28
AlligatorJoeand i certainly don't want to engage philosophers about the truth of anything...so i just settle for math simply works...nothing more...nothing less.00:29
Alericsean:/usr/share/man>ls /usr/share/doc/flex/NEWS.Debian.gz/00:29
Alericls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/flex/NEWS.Debian.gz/': Too many levels of symbolic links00:29
Alericit is a symlink and it is pointing to itself00:30
AlericMy second linux box is suddenly connecting to ipv6 when I do 'apt get' WTF?00:31
Aleric'man' broke on my main machine :((00:31
Alericeverything goes wrong :((00:31
iKarus987hi00:39
chucaraHi. I'm having an issue exposing port 443 from docker running on Ubuntu Server. Can anyone tell me how to diagnose whether something is blocking that port on my server? I can run "curl localhost:443" and get a response from a terminal, but I can't access it from other machines on my network.00:40
AlligatorJoeto say math can work...is a "call it good , call it bad, but its the best tool we had" for pragmatic uses...as less desirable than the truth....but well it is what it is.00:40
AlligatorJoeand that is the "honky tonk truth"00:42
AlligatorJoenot to be confused with "the truth"00:45
rfmAleric, what release of Ubuntu? I just downloaded flex 2.6.4-6 (current in 18,04) and its NEWS.Debian.gz is ok.00:45
rfmAlligatorJoe, please take chit-chat to #ubuntu-offtopic00:46
AlligatorJoerfm...i am just "killin time" waiting for the links browser to get a file00:46
DalekSecPerhaps you could kill time in a social channel, AlligatorJoe.00:47
AlligatorJoeDalekS...i don't know anything about social channels....me and Crocodile Lily were very private people and she's not around so i just work on lots of broken stuff00:48
AlericWell, using a symlink for /usr/share break 'man' :/.00:50
AlericI had to copy it back in place.00:50
Alericbreaks*00:51
akemchucara, Have you tried disabling firewall?00:51
Alericyup, that version.00:51
chucaraakem: No, my experience with network on ubuntu is very limited, but I will try.00:52
iKarus987HI i am having issues with openvpn anyone has idea where this client.conf file is located in ubuntu? i need to edit it00:52
iKarus987thanks00:52
rfmAleric, perhaps "apt install flex --reinstall" will get the symlink overwritted with the real file...00:52
akemchucara, Check to see if you can ping the server from your other machines. If yes try to disable firewall on the server with "sudo ufw disable", just for testing.00:52
chucaraakem: "sudo ufw status" says it is inactive00:52
Alericrfm: now I ended up with:00:53
Alericsean:/usr>ls -l /usr/share/doc/flex00:53
Alericlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 dec  4  2013 /usr/share/doc/flex -> libfl-dev/00:53
chucaraakem: I can access the same docker container service if I just change the port to 44400:53
akemchucara, That's weird.00:55
Alericrfm: it is definitely broken.00:56
Alericlrwxrwxrwx 10 root root    22 feb 22  2018 NEWS.Debian.gz -> ../flex/NEWS.Debian.gz00:56
AlericIt's a loop. So what you got then?!00:56
akemThen i don't know.00:58
rfmAleric, I have https://termbin.com/n3jx00:59
chucaraakem: Well. At least I'm not completely dumb here then :D00:59
Alericrfm: how is that not broken?00:59
rfmAleric, so for me /usr/share/doc/flex has the real files and /usr/share/libfl-dev is symlinks to files in ../flex01:00
rfmAleric, this works fine, but throw in that symlink you have from flex to libfl-dev and all goes pearshaped01:01
AlericWhat is the output of: ls -ld /usr/share/doc/flex01:01
Alericwhat package is ls -ld /usr/share/doc/flex part of? (I assume flex, but please do: dpkg -S /usr/share/doc/flex)01:02
iKarus987Hi guys what is the command to see if there is openvpn running in the background?01:03
iKarus987the command ps does not show anything running in the background01:04
rfmAleric, yes, it's flex.  I suspect you should purge flex and all its dependencies, make sure /usr/share/doc/flex is gone, and reinstall01:04
iKarus987but there is openvpn running i dont know how to spot it, i can confirm it because i am connected to the remote server via vpn01:04
Alericok - I purged flex - deleted both dirs and reinstalled. Now it looks the same as yours.01:04
drkjstriKarus987: have you tried: ps aux | grep openvpn01:04
akemiKarus987, Try: ps fax | grep -i vpn01:04
AlericOh I got to remember ps fax01:05
rfmAleric, who knows how you got that mess.. this trick of having doc dirs symlink to each other is common when Debian or Ubuntu has split an upstream distribution into multiple packages...01:06
AlligatorJoewell i have some other things to work on today so i will say adieu...and reboot into some other headaches that have yet to be resolved...social channels are not for me...anyway the hottest girls in the world are in the video games...like tifa, aeris, princess garnet, yuna, seoul, lynne, rikku, lightning, lara croft, and i'm sure more will be found with a story to tell.01:06
iKarus987what em i seeing akem please ?01:06
iKarus987i see lots of openvpn stuff01:06
rfmAleric, ... but you seem to have gotten trapped by changing the way the symlinks run...01:06
Alericrfm: I'm pretty sure that I never tinkered with that. Must have happened as a result of an apt (dist-)upgrade01:06
rfmAleric, yes, looks very like the structures of the packages changed and you got only part of an update at one point...01:07
akemiKarus987, Every process that includes "vpn" somewhere in the process name.01:07
iKarus987so these are the things running at the moment?01:07
iKarus987...01:07
AlligatorJoeoh and i dont want to forget quistis..what a girl.01:07
akemYeah.01:07
rfmAleric, I note in the NEWS that the last change was tinkering with the dependencies01:08
iKarus987ohh my... that answers my question01:08
iKarus987akem sorry man but i am new to linux, how do i kill all of them?01:08
Alericman killall01:08
iKarus987...01:08
iKarus987i have hard time believing that01:09
iKarus987aleric nothing personal01:09
Alericit opens the manual page of killall01:09
iKarus987ah k01:09
AlericI'm not going to tell you a command that kills stuff01:09
iKarus987thx01:09
drkjstriKarus987: also man kill01:10
iKarus987kill is like going into task manager?01:10
iKarus987and ending a process yea?01:10
Alerickill sends a signal to a process by PID01:11
Alericif that signal is the kill signal, then it kills it.01:11
Alericaka, kill -9 429382801:11
Alericwould kill process 429382801:11
iKarus987the option -9  ?01:11
iKarus987like force ?01:12
Alericthat's the hardest kill possible01:12
Alericyup01:12
Alericcertain death01:12
Alericif you want it to give it time to maybe shutdown you could try other signals01:12
iKarus987damn so if i have 27 chrome windows open01:13
iKarus987"web brwosers"01:13
AlericThats normal unfortunately01:13
iKarus987i cant not just do "kill google-chrome"01:13
AlericI wouldn't do that no01:13
iKarus987i have to remember those numbers and kill 1 by 1?01:13
Alericno, killall kills by name01:13
iKarus987in windows kill 1 and rest fallow01:13
iKarus987so "killall ps"01:14
iKarus987?01:14
Alerickillall -9 openvpn01:15
rfmI don't use openvpn, but I suspect "systemctl stop openvpn.service" would be the first thing to try01:16
hggdhAleric: pkill can kill by name; see 'man pkill'; both pkill and kill send (by default) a SIGTERM to the target process. If you want to kill a process, then the *default* signal -- SIGTERM -- should be tried first. IF SIGTERM does not do the trick, then you can try -9 (SIGKILL). But SIGKILL does not give the target process any chance of an orderly shutdown, so kittens may die01:19
hggdhAleric: so it is your call. I stringly suggest reading the man pages01:20
AlericYou mean iKarus98701:20
hggdhAleric: I am sorry, I stand corrected :-)01:20
iKarus987i will take that advice too01:20
iKarus987:)01:21
iKarus987thx Aleric01:21
iKarus987okay i killed all the ouput that i go from ps fax | grep -i openvpn01:30
iKarus987except i cant kill this01:30
iKarus987 8035 pts/6    S+     0:00          \_ grep --color=auto -i openvpn01:30
iKarus987the pid keeps changing01:30
Alericlol01:31
hggdhiKarus987: why would you want to kill grep?01:31
AlericThat's the command you are executing to print that output01:31
Alericps fax | grep -i openvpn01:31
Aleric      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^01:31
iKarus987hmm okay01:31
iKarus987 8035 pts/6    S+     0:00          \_ grep --color=auto -i openvpn01:31
iKarus987so from this prespective01:31
iKarus987what is the name of this process?01:32
hggdhiKarus987: also, using pgrep instead of grep helps, because the process grep will not be listed01:32
AlericBesides, it is 'grep' not openvpn01:32
drkjstriKarus987: like Aleric says, that is the grep process you are using to to find the openvpn processes.01:32
iKarus987i know01:32
iKarus987now01:32
iKarus987but how do you know it is that?01:32
iKarus987 8035 pts/6    S+     0:00          \_ grep --color=auto -i openvpn01:33
iKarus987 for me openvpn is also there01:33
iKarus987how you know it belongs to grep?01:33
Alericit starts with grep01:33
hggdhbecause this the command name. openvpn is a parameter01:33
drkjstriKarus987: because of the grep -i openvpn that is listed in it (grep --color=auto -i openvpn)01:33
Alericthe first is the command, then follow arguments.01:33
iKarus987for instance i saw these01:34
iKarus98729652 ?        S      0:00  |   \_ openvpn /etc/openvpn/client/client.ovpn01:34
Alericfirst is the command01:34
Alericso 'openvpn'01:34
iKarus987okay01:34
iKarus98729651 ?        S      0:00  \_ sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/client/client.ovpn01:34
Alericlike you'd type it on the command line01:34
iKarus987and this?01:34
AlericWell, sudo is the command here.01:34
iKarus987so sudo is the process name?01:35
Alericyes01:35
iKarus987wow01:35
Alericit starts 'openvpn /etc/openvpn/client/client.ovpn' as root.01:35
Alericso I guess the next line was the previous one01:35
blue1make me a sandwich.  NO.01:35
blue1sudo make me a sandwich01:35
blue1ok01:35
iKarus987i see, very strange01:35
iKarus987but i can dig it01:35
iKarus987i have no choice01:35
blue1sudo is like mother may I01:36
iKarus987so i can imagine like, sudo is a program01:36
AlericDon't confuse him :p01:36
iKarus987that's running another program?01:36
Alericyes01:36
AlericIt stands for '(as) Super User DO'01:36
iKarus987that i know :- that's why i am puzzled01:37
iKarus987now i should not be able to access my remote server testing01:37
iKarus987killed every openvpn stuff01:37
iKarus987testing ... :>01:37
iKarus987nice enabling openvpn again01:38
drkjstriKarus987: the equivalent in Windows is the Run as Administrator option. Like when you install a program and asks for administrator privileges. In Linux GUI programs some are smart enough to ask for the privileges. Like when using the Software Center.01:39
iKarus987so interesting i wanted to test out,, gave wrong command   "openvpn client.opvn"01:40
iKarus987client.opvn does not exist.01:40
iKarus987now i checked for fun "ps fax | grep -i openvpn01:40
iKarus987"01:40
iKarus987that's process is running01:41
iKarus987hmm01:41
iKarus987ofc the the actual openvpn is not running,01:41
iKarus987so even if you give wrong commands, it's considered as a process you will have to kill?01:41
iKarus987ahh ok i am dumb01:42
iKarus987sorry guys, it's grep actually xD01:42
drkjstriKarus987: the client.opvn location is /etc/openvpn/client/client.ovpn. It probably is looking for client.opvn in the current directory without the full path to the file.01:43
iKarus987how do i disown this process01:46
hggdhiKarus987: again. Use 'pgrep openvpn' instead of 'ps fax | grep -i openvpn'01:46
iKarus987 8447 pts/6    T      0:00  |       \_ sudo openvpn /home/dope/Desktop/GNS3Opvn/for openvpn/client.ovpn01:47
iKarus987i wanna detach it from terminal window01:47
iKarus987i been using "disown %1" it does not work01:47
iKarus987ahh it works now,  i did 1% instead of %101:48
iKarus987ah ok i will try that command instead thanks01:49
iKarus987ahh it's a shortcut01:49
iKarus987i like the other output tho hggdh xD01:49
hggdh<shrug/>01:50
iKarus987hggdh why ? :<01:52
pavlosyou should be a ble to kill that process, ... sudo kill -9 844701:52
pgndafaict, gcc-10 is distro-pkg'd only for focal+.  is there a backports repo that builds it for bionic hiding out here somewhere?  or DIY ... ?01:56
pragmaticenigmapgnd: Is there a particular reason that you need a specific version of gcc?01:56
blue1anyone know how to get a ryzen 3 to work with Linux?01:57
pgndyep, lots of em.01:57
pragmaticenigmapgnd: Only the software packages available in the official Ubuntu software repositories are supported here. All software provided is patched against known vulnerabilities and bugs. Ubuntu releases strive for stability, which is why sometimes version do not match the latest a developer offers, however, patches have been applied.01:59
pgndnot asking for support, just if anyone knows of an available repo -- unofficial or otherwise.  if not, I'll DIY.02:00
pragmaticenigmapgnd: It's a DIY... volunteers here stick to whats available in the official repos02:00

blebi tried to set up ssh access and it worked a couple times, but then stopped working.  seems to be some bullshit related to port forwarding on the comcast router...02:30
blue1bleb: yeah you have to port forward port 22 to the machine02:31
blebi did a different port and changed the listening port in sshd_config02:32
blebcould it be systemd fuckery preventing sshd from listening on the alternative port?02:33
blebi assumed it was comcast fuckery02:33
blebit did work at least a couple times, albeit sporadically02:34
iKarus987anyone ever used gns3 with ubuntu?02:36
bleblol it was comcast02:36
drkjstrbleb: I've successfully used Comcast router/modems to forward custom SSH port traffic. Are you using a dynamic DNS service to track any changes in IP from the ISP?02:37
blebthe xfinity user site says "there were attempts to access nuc5cpyh from a known malicious source. We've blocked 3 of those this week.02:37
blebthis is part of the innovative "easier than ever" decision to force you to manage port forwarding through the myxfi (web)app instead of just doing it directly on the router02:37
blebsshing from a ramnode vps is a "known malicious source"02:38
drkjstrbleb: Yes. I had to do it through that. And, you might need to turn off the Advanced Protection option.02:38
blebdrkjstr: how do you do that02:39
drkjstrbleb: You download the mobile app. Login with the credentials for the account. Should be under Network, Advanced.02:39

Sc0utonLinuxHello is it possible to create a raid 0 network drive accross two ubuntu servers that can be used on a 3rd ubuntu desktop as a single network drive ?02:40

drkjstrSc0utonLinux: I've heard of stuff like that using JBODs on Windows as a clustered share, I would thionk it would have to be something similar, but I have no pointers.02:43
drkjstrbleb: That might work, I primarily did it through the mobile app.02:44
Sc0utonLinuxmy reasoning .. would be to get double write and read speed out of a network drive accross connected to two identical pcs02:45
Sc0utonLinuxa like boosted nas02:45
=== zbenjamin is now known as Guest56158
=== zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin
drkjstrSc0utonLinux: Yeah, I get that. One of my old companies used the setup as a MS based hyper-flex environment. Again, I have no pointers for Linux.02:46
pgndSc0utonLinux: it's certainly doable ... using network block devices. great way to shoot holes in your own feet, imo.  you're completely ignoring net latency/etc ...02:46

Sc0utonLinuxpgnd well I have two old pcs each with a 320 GB hd (bare bones) .. i was hoping to create a 640 gb network nas out of them02:48
Sc0utonLinuxI like trying to reuse stuff I already have rather than buying new things :D02:48
help_me_plsSc0utonLinux lul why dont u just connect them to one pc as raid 0?02:48
Sc0utonLinuxout of principle you know02:48
Sc0utonLinuxwell because then that pc would need to be on for all the other pcs on the network to access it02:49
Sc0utonLinuxand my bare bones use the least amount of electricity02:49
WoetSc0utonLinux: then put both drives in one of your "bare bones"02:49
Sc0utonLinuxmz proper pcs have like 1000w psus02:49
Woetif you want performance, don't use networked RAID 0 drives..02:49
Sc0utonLinuxi don't know if bare bones is the right word they are like mini pcs with atom processors that pull hardly any power02:50
help_me_plsSc0utonLinux having a 1000w psu doesnt mean u are using 1000w02:50

blebdrkjstr: yeah i found it in the web app.  waiting for the changes to propagate now.02:50
Sc0utonLinuxI actually have 3 of them .. i took out one Sata and added it to an old USB sata controller I had.. you think would be better to create a raid out of that and just connect a single PC to the network as nas for higher speed?02:51

TJ-AlexPortable: sounds like taking a screenshot is not what you want; what you need is something that captures the entire content of a text console04:47

akemIt should display the text on the server in the terminal where you started the "nc -l ..." .12:56

akemYeah, you can test another with another port too.13:02
chucaraHowever it does take longer if the "backend" service is running13:03
akemI was thinking maybe your router is filtering port 443, because of what you told me yesterday.13:03
chucaraI have another machine with 443 working with SSL and all. So at least not externally.13:04
chucaraI just changed the IP of the firewall rule to my new server13:05
chucaraOh wait. I'm an idiot. :p13:06
chucaraI though the text was supposed to be a command line argument - not that it started an interactive session13:06
akemYeah, sort of like telnet.13:07
chucara443 works fine. Though I need to sudo the command to run on 443, but not other ports13:07
chucaraBut it only works locally though13:08
akemYeah, all ports < ~1024 needs root.13:08
chucaraMakes sense13:08
akemIf it works only in loopback it has to do with your firewall or router then.13:09
akemCheck port 444.13:09
akemIf it works from the other machine.13:09
chucaraYup - something is blocking 443 externally.13:10
chucaraBut specifically for this machine, which seems unlikely.13:11
akemSounds like the only option. You got something blocking port 443 on your network.13:14
chucaraIt's just strange that it works in the other direction. If I do a nc out from my new server into my old, it works fine.13:17
akemchucara, Don't you have some port forwarding rule or mapping or something on your router somewhere?13:21
chucaraakem: Sure, there is NAT against my public IP, but this is all internally within my LAN13:21
akemYeah i know, but if you have anything related to port 443, or HTTP/HTTPS i suggest try to disable it, and test again with netcat.13:22
chucaraI will try to check later. Thanks a lot of your help. If nothing else, I have narrowed down what the problem is. And can definitely exclude docker as a cause.13:24
akemYeah. Np.13:24
chucaraI have kids yelling at me so it'll have to wait. :D13:24

TJ-R0b0t1``: as far as I am aware the Kubuntu installer has no knowledge of coreboot/libreboot. libreboot contains GRUB as a payload15:11
R0b0t1``libreboot targets something like 4-5 devices in depth, I am kind of assuming it's not a libreboot issue for a reason15:11

R0b0t1``I can't boot USB stuff and that does seem to be maybe a HW problem (USB ports turned off for early boot)15:15

XanoHi all! I've been having trouble with my NUC not being able to control its Intel I219-V ethernet controller due to a driver issue. It used to work fine using Ubuntu 18 until this week. Reinstalling 18.04 (using kernel 4.15) or 19.10 doesn't work. I tried other kernels on 18.04, such as 4.18 (latest available v4) or 5.0.0, but those introduced new problems where the USB keyboard wasn't recognized (mouse was fine).15:40
XanoAnother friendly user in this channel tried to debug this with me yesterday, but we didn't end up finding a solution. Since then I tried downgrading the kernel to 4.15, but to no avail15:40
Xanolshw recognizes the controller and marks it unclaimed. Softwar & Updates say it's a driver issue and that it needs backport-iwlwifi-dkms, but installing that seems to have no effect15:40
WoC`Xano, you may want to try 19.10 - unless you have a specific reason for 18.0415:47
WoC`i.e. rocm or something arcane of that nature15:48
TJ-Xano: that'd have been me I think?15:52
TJ-Xano: you can ignore the backports-iwlwif-dkms -- that is specific to the Intel WiFi devices15:52
XanoWoC`, 19.10 failed after I had upgraded to it, 18 worked fine until this week, hence the downgrade15:53

TJ-djbehnke: you'd need to *tap* Esc repeatedly to intercept an EFI GRUB boot17:56
TJ-djbehnke: if you used the standard Ubuntu installer then /boot/ is not encrypted so GRUB is in the clear17:57
TJ-djbehnke: however, if you set GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y in /etc/default/grub then grub's 2nd-stage files, kernels and intrd.img files are encrypted and GRUB's core image will ask you for the passphrase17:57
djbehnkeOkay. I can try it again. It sounds like I'm just doing something wrong.17:59

XanoTJ-, Hahah, not yet! Busy laying some ethernet around the house. Unplugged the cable, rebooted, then shut down as you said, no result. Will try updating the BIOS, then maybe another OS (should have a Windows installer somewhere). Really hope it's not the hardware, but we'll see :)19:04
TJ-Xano: please do run the new dyndebug option, that'll capture accurate info19:05
TJ-Xano: "sudo modprobe -r e1000e; sudo dmesg -C; sudo modprobe e1000e dyndbg==mfp ; pastebinit <( dmesg) "19:05
TJ-Xano: if this confirms what I think about a failed read. I can build you a custom module that extends the timeout to test it19:05

WoC`any suggestions for a aarch64 device, that can boot from ssd and run ubuntu, with working OpenCL ?19:26
WoC`chroombook isnt it, proven19:27
WoC`maybe i have my expectations too high by thinking it aught to have better performance than a 8028619:31
XanoTJ-, Will do (damnit I disconnected again :/ ) Will hopefully try today, otherwise tomorrow. Gotta extend the home network considering we've got multiple people working from home these days and one AP just doesn't cut it :P19:38
jostHi! On my server, I have configured an interface with a static IP (v4). When this server tries to connect to this IP, it does not seem do normal routing via the gateway - it seems to connect to itself. How can I force routing that IP via the gateway?19:48
pgndjost: which instructions did you follow?19:54
pavlosjost: can you show via pastebin the /etc/network/interfaces19:55
=== mycookie0 is now known as mycookie
jostpavlos: http://dpaste.com/2FDY2DW19:59
jostThe background is that of a kubernetes cluster, and the IP is not necessarily routed to the actual node20:00
jostEach node has that IP configured as static IP, but the IP is routed to only one of the nodes, and in case of failure the target node is changed20:00
pavlosI dont have experience with kub ... maybe someone else can chime in ...20:04
jostOk, I've done further analysis, routing is not the problem - seems like the request is not correctly handled by the ingress service when coming from a cluster node20:05

AlligatorJoeon the ubuntu version of pcsxr the xvideo driver doesn't seem to work with the intel graphics chipset it basically crashes....is it compiled for nvidia only or something.20:31
AlligatorJoei am not sure who is compiling the code for the ubuntu binaries and what hardware they are using20:32
AlligatorJoeare there any ubuntu devs in here today to see who is compiling the code for the ubuntu binaries and what hardware they are using or supporting20:34
oerheksno, it depends what generation intel GPU you use ..20:35
oerheksdon't blame the development20:35
AlligatorJoeoerheks oh ok...well this reports as GM45 chipset...it works with direct x drivers on windows so it seems like it should work on ubuntu also but it does not support the xvideo driver only the slow opengl driver20:36
kostkonAlligatorJoe, does the opengl driver crash as well20:36
AlligatorJoekostokon..no it is ok...but very slow...not nearly as fast as the xvideo driver that i used to have working on my nvidia card20:37
AlligatorJoekostkon...the xvideo driver is important for games that require a lot of speedy action such as Castlevania Symphony of the Night...i bought a playstation version but i have not been able to find and check the xbox 360 version that konami said they would produce.20:46
oerheksthat might work on Intel gen 1020:49
AlligatorJoeand since there is a worldwide fanclub for Castlevania symphony of the night with gamers from all over the world trading secrets and tips it is kind of an important issue.20:49
oerheksso, get a proper videocard?20:49
kostkonAlligatorJoe, i guess you've done your research and you know more than me on the subject in question at this point. But I'd like to point out that graphics perfomance is bound to be slower with old intel graphic chipsets20:49
AlligatorJoeoeheks...i can't...this is a lousy HP laptop that my brother gave me since he got a new AMD hardware laptop20:50
AlligatorJoebut intel does support much more graphics than they did 10 years ago...so i don't count them out of the race...it is just that this hardware is kind of out of date20:51
AlligatorJoeoeheks...there is no way to put a video card in this laptop20:54
oerheksaccept that you cannot play those games, done.20:55
AlligatorJoeoeheks...yes i guess you are right...but what do you do with the game software you purchased.20:55
aaardvarkIs there anything I should be cautious of if I use sshfs to mount a directory on a remote server ans use it as a shared drive between that server and the one where I did the mount20:56
geniiAlternately, get one of these https://www.ebay.ca/i/37228967141120:57
AlligatorJoegenii..that is an interesting url...those video hardware gurus  always seem to be coming up with something21:01
geniiPlug one end in a miniPCIe in the laptop, then get some desktop video card that works with whatever you're trying to run21:02
AlligatorJoegenii...that seems like a very useful idea....but i think an easier approach is to find out what happened to the promised xbox360 version of the game21:02
geniiThere's also ExpressCard versions of this, if the laptop has one of those slots21:03
AlligatorJoegenii..no this lousy laptop doesn't have any expansion bus for i/o port external devices21:03
AlligatorJoegenii..but what can you do..it was a hand me down gift..and beggars can't be choosers21:06
geniiAye21:06
AlligatorJoegenii at least there are a couple of lara croft games for the xbox 360 now....so the gamers have something to work with21:43
AlligatorJoegenii.and there is the sakaguchi rpg called "the lost odysey" for final fantasy fans21:44
AlligatorJoebut the missing castlevania is a serious deficienty21:45
AlligatorJoedeficiency21:45
oerhekshow is this related to ubuntu support, AlligatorJoe ?21:45
oerheksnot again useless conversation in here please, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that21:45
AlligatorJoeoerheks we are trying to work on code for emulators that will run on ubuntu at some point in the future21:46
oerheksno.21:46
AlligatorJoeoerheks well it is no right now but the code is underway it is just very alpha now and not useful at this time21:46
AlligatorJoeoerheks and it also requires video hardware that supports the vulkan drivers to even get some testing stages done21:51
AlligatorJoeoeheks as i understand it...the vulkan drivers will be made available for all linux distros21:52
shinobiIf I issue ls -la /mnt I get 755 perms with root as owner and group. I issue a sudo chmod 700 /mnt with no error, but the perms don't change. Why?21:53
marcodiegoI have a 6th gen Ipod. How can I copy some video files from it to my ubuntu desktop?22:01
AlligatorJoeoerheks so development requires sophisticated graphics hardware that only certain nvidia cards can accomodate but intel and amd should be working on compatible hardware to support vulkan and its forthcoming apps at this time22:02
EriC^^shinobi: it might be the mount options and filesystem22:02
EriC^^for instance ntfs/fat22:03
oerheksshinobi, one changes the mount in /mnt/ itself, not /mnt22:04
oerhekslike chown $user:$user /mnt/<my partition>22:04
Bromiteanyone used caddy?22:05
AlligatorJoeand as i understand it ....vulkan will be made available to android...all the linux distros like ubuntu,redhat,gentoo  etc...and probably windows as well22:07
AlligatorJoei am not sure but i think the Chronos group is involved with vulkan at this time also22:08
oerheksAlligatorJoe, stop now.22:08
AlligatorJoeoerheks well it is a ubuntu issue since ubuntu would like get to distribute the vulkan drivers as well22:09
oerheksno, you have no actual issue, just random game talk, join -discussion or -offtopic22:10
Psi-JackOh, sheash... Now my sound stopped working on my laptop. :/22:10
oerheksPsi-Jack, what kernel are you on?22:10
Psi-Jack5.3.0-42-generic22:11
oerheksthis is an annoying current bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/186780322:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1867803 in linux (Ubuntu) "ALSA: No soundcards found after updating kernel to 5.3.0.42.36" [Undecided,Confirmed]22:11
AlligatorJoeoerheks ok..maybe games need a separate channel since a lot of the jargon is not understandable by the average linux user22:11
Psi-JackYep.... That seems to be matching up.22:11
geniiAlligatorJoe: This channel is primarily for assisting users who are experiencing immediate problems. Your situation does not really fall into this category.22:11
AlligatorJoegenii..yes i understand your points which is why i said maybe games issues need a separate channel but i don't know which one22:12
oerheksPsi-Jack, also related, but i would roll back a kernel .. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1218041/ubuntu-18-04-audio-disappeared-after-update/1218063#121806322:12
oerheksor go wild with proposed22:12
Psi-Jackheh.22:12
oerheks= -4322:12
Psi-JackI'm going back to -40, to see.22:13
Psi-JackThere it is. Sound. At least the internal sound, not the sound connected via USB-C.22:14
Psi-Jack(which I don't have speakers connected to, but, still)22:14
Psi-JackBut, this is kind of bad, so many issues. Sound stops in one kernel. Network stops in another.22:16
oerheksgo for Focal 20.04 ??22:17
oerhekswe do need testers22:17
Psi-JackI will, when it's released. :)22:17
oerheksyou would get 5.4 ,,,22:17
Psi-JackWhich... Had even more problems.22:18
Psi-JackI tried Fedora which had a 5.4 kernel initially, and more things didn't work. LOL22:18
geniiAlligatorJoe: You may want to check out the #unity3d channel22:19
AlligatorJoegenii ok thanks for the tip  i will check in there22:20
AlligatorJoei think chronos is really spelled the Khronos group with a K instead of a C22:44
AlligatorJoebut any i will keep the comments to the other channel22:44
lestacAnyone knows how to install a equalizer in ubuntu 18.04 ?22:47
AlligatorJoelestac..yes that is really needed and also on win 7 .22:48
AlligatorJoelestac what i have been doing as a workaround at this time is to use the equalizer in audacity and resave the file with new equalizer adjusted encoding22:50
AlligatorJoelestc..but it is a pain and really time consuming.....ubuntu really needs one and so does win 722:50
oerheksthere should be one, and there is a project pulseeffects http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/06/install-audio-effects-pulseeffects-ubuntu-18-04-higher/22:52
oerheksi just use the one in clementine, video needs no adjustment for me22:53
lestaci need one to use in real time, for streamed music22:54
akemVLC also has one integrated IIRC.22:56
AlligatorJoeoerheks well i don't know about that file...is seems like they compiled to code for ubuntu stable version not the ermine version..so it might not work22:57
AlligatorJoebut the url is very interesting...however...pulse doesn't perform that well..it hiccups..when i do serious audio work i use the alsa option22:58
AlligatorJoerather than using pulseaudio22:58
AlligatorJoeyou just have to be very careful because it doen't have the server advantages of pulse22:59
AlligatorJoetake for example ogg123....you can select pulse or alsa and you don't get the hiccups with alsa like you do with pulse23:09
=== skookum2 is now known as skookum
AlligatorJoelikewise mpg321 sounds much better using the alsa option than the esd option again but without the esd server advantages23:13
AlligatorJoebut any equalizer, even with the pulse hiccups, is better than no equalizer at all23:15
AlligatorJoeit is  a problem on windows 7 also....windows 10 seems to have an equalizer as part of the system...but i dont' like windows 1023:18
AlligatorJoewindows 10 has a lot of bullshit that stops a whole lot of games and game engine code from modifiying lots of windows folders which makes it a piece of crap23:20
marz_d`ghostmanI just migrated a virtual server running Ubntu 16. I can ping it but I can't ssh to it. iptables allows ssh, and sshd is running and listening to port 22. What other possible problems may have occured?23:21
pragmaticenigmamarz_d`ghostman, Where is this virtual server running exactly? is this an AWS, Docker, some other containered instace? Also, Please note that version numbers are important and Ubuntu uses the YY.MM format to differentiate releases. Always remember to include both values since Ubuntu releases twice per year and it will help volunteers provide more precise help with your issue23:24
AlligatorJoemarz..maybe you need to check all the configuration options of sshd and be sure to use the right user password on your ssh client23:24
pragmaticenigmaAlligatorJoe, That's not how SSH works23:24
AlligatorJoepragm...since when23:25
pragmaticenigmaAlligatorJoe, OpenSSH uses the system users for authentication... it does not provide it's own. Your comment is highly imprecise and implies that user authentication is handled by the sshd service23:26
AlligatorJoepragm...well openssh is only one version of the ssh protocol23:26
pragmaticenigmaAlligatorJoe, you are also making the assumption they can't login ... the person has not provided details. There is no way to know if it is an authentication problem, or if the service is not responding, or some other issue is going on.23:27
pavlosmarz_d`ghostman: is openssh-server installed on the server?23:27
marz_d`ghostmanI just created a back up for the iptables, it appears that I need to update the interface name there. I wonder if there is something I can do so that the interface names doesn't change when I migrate. Like ens162 gets changed to ens1823:27
AlligatorJoepragm...that is right but you have to start trying possible solutions somewhere23:28
pragmaticenigmamarz_d`ghostman, Interface names don't change... that is the purpose for the naming convention you see23:28
marz_d`ghostmanpavlos: Got it sorted out, it was the iptables referring to a non-existing interface23:28
pavlosk23:28
marz_d`ghostmanpragmaticenigma: Is there anything I can setup so it doesn't change? like ens162 -> ens1823:28
pragmaticenigmamarz_d`ghostman, They won't change... Ubuntu uses what is called consistent network device naming, which ensures that the device name does not change, such that configurations are not broken if a new interface is added or removed23:30
pragmaticenigmamarz_d`ghostman, for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_Network_Device_Naming23:31
AlligatorJoepragm...i personally shun the word "open" as opposed to gnu "free"...redhat started that stuff so they could propietize things and have legal ownership of certain programs...but anyway the coders are free to choose gnu versus "open-source"23:36
oerhekshow helpfull23:37
pragmaticenigmaAlligatorJoe, That comment seems highly offtopic for this channel. Why don't you join us in #ubuntu-offtopic please23:38
