I've a small script (https://termbin.com/utvm) which should be started when my virtual machine starts. but how can I do so? [11:05] write a systemd unit file for it [11:06] and run it as root? [11:07] since it needs sudo [11:10] Typically you instruct systemd to run a service as a specific user/group with a User= and Group= directive in the [Service] section of the unit file. [11:11] so, User=root perhaps? or be wise; User=www-data ? [11:11] ikonia, correct me if i am wrong [11:13] oerheks: don't disagree [11:19] Howdy folks [11:20] ha BluesKaj [11:20] hey oerheks [11:25] How to change my computer name (showing in temrinal prompt) [11:27] Hamilton2, in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts [11:27] !hostname [11:27] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [11:28] easy to find, actually [11:28] oerheks, BluesKaj https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04/ [11:28] what about cloud.cfg and hostnamectl? [11:28] what about it? [11:29] chaning /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts is enough? [11:29] never used those , I do know that changing the name in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts works fropm personal experience [11:29] does the cloud.cfg show up in your terminal? [11:30] oerheks, [11:30] no [11:31] ubuntu uses cloud-init IIRC [11:31] hostnamectl set-hostname . does this command also change stuff in /etc/hosts? [11:31] no [11:33] * BluesKaj shugs , this topic is over for me [11:33] BluesKaj, thanks [11:35] ah I get it. hostnamectl is the systemd version of achieving the manual editing of those /etc/host files [11:37] yes, a reboot is still needed too, iirc [11:41] oerheks, ok. [11:43] yeah the manual editing in /etc/hosts is necessary for it to stick. But the !hostname suggest that I should write both my old and new host in there. Is it up to date? [11:47] That I was wondering considering the fact that it's getting real. [11:49] can we help you rom-- ? [11:54] Hamilton2: It suggests both as some applications latch onto the old one, and will not check for an updated value. MythTV is an example of that [11:54] pragmaticenigma, even after boot? [11:56] oerheks: So I tried to write a small unit file, (https://pastebin.com/B2DgUjR1) but it gives me an error and refuses to run. [11:56] the error is also in the link :) [11:57] Hamilton2: Even after reboot. The installers are what configure the application, they don't rerun that at reboots [11:58] pragmaticenigma, can I add it later if I'm confronted with a problematic app? [11:58] sorry, no pastebin, no javascript enabled [11:59] use paste ubuntu.com or termbin [11:59] Or should I change it now? Also how to choose more than 1 name? 127.0.1.1 newname oldname ? [11:59] pastebin should die :-P [12:00] Hamilton2: Save yourself time and frustration, follow the instructions [12:01] pragmaticenigma, ok. The order is important? oldname[space]newname? [12:01] Hamilton2: order isn't important to my knowledge [12:01] I haven't encountered an issue [12:02] pragmaticenigma, form a logical point of view, what does it mean if hostname is not unique? [12:02] what do you mean? [12:03] pragmaticenigma, like if I query my hostname (e.g. if my laptop was a server) I should get one name right? [12:04] how do you "query your hostname" [12:05] the order is *slightly* important [12:05] in that the 1st name in the list is the "canonical name" and the rest are "aliases" [12:05] on laptops it doesn't matter, it might on servers [12:05] as some services want to know the server's _full_ domain name (fqdn), so it should go first [12:06] oerheks: I did't see the message, 2 sec [12:06] oerheks: https://termbin.com/5zwg [12:07] hold on [12:08] Ubuntu 19.10 smartctl spin_up_time treshold is 021, current reported spin_up_time 3950 . Is this number skewed by the fact that this drive is part of a RAID volume? [12:08] oerheks: https://termbin.com/5ftg [12:08] this is the right link. [12:10] franklinl_: afaik threshold should be compared against the normalized "VALUE" column, not against the "RAW_VALUE" [12:12] grawity, In that case, the value is 142, so way above the tresh [12:12] I think it's bad only if it's below? [12:13] grawity, that would be odd. You generally want spin_up_time to be as quick as possible, or not? [12:13] raw value yes [12:14] but normalized values seem to always be mapped to the "200 = good, 0 = bad" range [12:14] is it software raid? [12:15] grawity, that is very interesting. The manpage of smartctl does not seem to mention that, or I am a sloppy reader. [12:16] it'd be a general ATA SMART thing, not something smartctl invented [12:16] e.g. wikipedia: "Normalized values are usually mapped so that higher values are better (exceptions include drive temperature, number of head load/unload cycles[20]), but higher raw attribute values may be better or worse depending on the attribute and manufacturer. For example, the "Reallocated Sectors Count" attribute's normalized value decreases as the count of reallocated sectors increases." [12:16] I assume the 'normalized' values are meant to be interpreted by software in a generic way [12:17] (e.g. "I don't know what this attribute means and I have no clue what units its value is reported in, but its normalized value is only barely above threshold, so I know it's getting bad") [12:18] grawity, SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED [12:18] grawity, so I guess the drive is still OK to use. [12:19] looks like my server 1 has HDDs (SATA) with spin-up time 966, 2366, 5766 [12:21] the 3rd one seems big, but it's also a WD Green so maybe that's normal? [12:21] dunno [12:21] more importantly, 0 seek errors, 0 spin retries, 0 reallocated sectors, etc. [12:21] grawity most of the values are at 200, apart from the seek-error rate, that one is at 100, but the treshold is 0, so everything looks hunky dory. [12:22] yeah for manual inspection the raw value is the more interesting one [12:23] grawity, well, that value is at 0 for both Raw_read_Error_Rate and Seek Error rate [12:24] grawity, I recon that is a good sign. [12:26] grawity, Have a good (insert your local day phase here) and stay healthy! Thanks for all the pointers :-) [12:45] So guys, I've this unit file ( https://termbin.com/z02u error messages hare also here ) which doesn't work on boot, but it works if I start it manually..... Any ideas? === aiolos is now known as Aiolos [12:58] :-) [12:58] DuckyDev: quick though based on what I see... in the custom.sh script, it's calling sudo? If so, do you have the full path to sudo listed or only 'sudo'? [12:58] only sudo [12:59] gonna try to add the full path ;) [12:59] DuckyDev: please try including the complete path to sudo. Also, if that doesn't resolve it... you should break that custom script down to 1 step at a time and include some logging output in it [12:59] the path should be fine (yes, services have a proper $PATH)... though I'd say sudo is not a good idea to use in systemd services [12:59] what does the script *do*? [13:00] why does it sudo to www-data, instead of outright having User=www-data? [13:00] why is there a 'sleep 30'? [13:00] oh yes, and you have a typo in WantedBy= – the target name needs to be all-lowercase [13:02] This is going to look shady as fuck :D bind it is a bind shell there is being launched and changes location every 30 sec ( school work ). [13:02] don't worry, it already looks shady as fuck [13:03] yearh :D [13:03] 2 sec I will send the code [13:03] Please watch the language [13:03] anyway, when the status says "enabled;" that doesn't mean it's enabled for the target you actually want – it'll show that even if it's completely unhooked from the boot process [13:04] so fix the WantedBy, reload, reenable === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [13:06] grawity: did you get the pm with the code? [13:06] but what should WantedBy be set to instead of Multi-user.target? [13:06] multi-user.target, lowercase [13:08] hello my main system is currently hanging .. in X but i managed to open a terminal ctrl + alt + f3 [13:08] and yeah I got the PM and I don't quite get the whole point [13:08] can anyone advise how i can go about finding out what the issue is [13:09] the whole point is to make a backdoor in a ubuntu system. pentest assignment, [13:09] grawity: but the service still refuse to stay active on boot, it is still dead [13:09] and I changed to Multi- to multi [13:10] did you `systemctl reenable` the unit? [13:10] I rebooted the VM [13:10] yes but did you `systemctl reenable` the unit? [13:11] nope, gonna do it again [13:11] it's not the WantedBy= that actually autostarts your unit [13:11] it's the symlink that gets created during `systemctl enable` [13:11] Ooooh, I actually didn't know. And thanks for your time so far! [13:13] basically systemd starts all units that it finds symlinked under multi-user.target.wants/ [13:14] now I get the message 3 Started terminate plymouth boot screen" when i go back to F7 [13:14] So the service does start now! however the connection with netcat getøs refused. Which works perfectly if I run it manually [13:15] lolz, pentest assignment [13:16] manually as your user it starts ? [13:16] oerheks: yup works fine, but not when it starts on boot [13:16] iirc your code showed it listening on a *random* port, so check `systemctl status` to see whether ncat is actually running [13:17] and `netstat -ltn` to see whether it's listening [13:17] did you unmask/enable it? [13:17] grawity: it is :) I can see the port with nmap. [13:18] hold on [13:20] tbh as far as backdoors go, it's a very half-donkeyed attempt at being hidden, and not very privileged if it just runs as www-data [13:20] now if you used systemd.socket to start it instead of ncat... [13:20] that is the while purpose ;) [13:20] yeah, no a backdoor, just a front door [13:20] the real backdoor is hidden on the local interface. [13:21] I mean, if someone does `ps axf` [13:21] with ncat running as www-data, they'll immediately think "shady" – but with a .socket they'll see nothing at all [13:21] I guess I shouldn't be saying this lol [13:23] Aaa, that makes sense. [13:26] nobody ? *cries* :'( [13:26] hey, I'm trying to compile a driver but I'm getting "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'name_of_module': Exec format error" and in dmesg "version magic '4.15.0-88-generic SMP mod_unload ' should be '4.15.0-91-generic SMP mod_unload '" [13:27] does anyone have an idea why version magic is getting the wrong kernel version [13:27] sc0utonlinux: are you sure it's on tty7 and not on tty1 or tty2 [13:27] Baikonur, uname -a says?

I'm on Ubuntu trying to make Grub correctly boot Arch, but it is saying "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". Any hints? [15:10] you forgot to specify the initramfs image (grub 'initrd') [15:11] I remember someone having a complaint recently about os-prober doing that [15:11] grawity: I'm just executing "update-grub" on Ubuntu with the Arch mounted. How am I supposed to specify initramfs? [15:12] IanLiu: 'update-grub' doesn't create an initrd.img [15:13] IanLiu: First check if the file exists for the booted kernel with "sudo ls -l /boot/initrd.img* ; uname -r" [15:13] on Arch linux I just issue a "pacman -S linux", and it creates the initramfs I guess. One of the steps is to run "mkinitcpio -p linux" when installing the Kernel [15:13] IanLiu: if not, then "sudo update-initramfs -u" [15:16] IanLiu: oh, you're trying to get update-grub to point to the arch kernel/initrd ? look at the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg and find the menuitem for the Arch install ... it should have last two lines as "linux ..." and "init ..." --- check what they are set to. [15:17] the problem I remember from yesterday was that someone used os-prober, and it'd detect Arch's two initrd images (the microcode and the actual initramfs)... but it would only add the 1st one (ucode) to grub.cfg. [15:18] grawity: hmm, I guess thats the culprit, yes. [15:19] since Arch uses unversioned boot file names, you should be able to write the grub.cfg item manually, it doesn't need periodic updating [15:19] (but I have no idea where to place it for update-grub to accept it.) [15:23] well, for now I'm installing grub from arch, then. This works ;) [15:23] thanks [15:27] grawity: IanLiu so arch doesn't combine the two? [15:31] Goop, theres an option to install minimally on the gui installer [15:31] TJ-: arch correctly assigns the initrd in grub [15:31] TJ-: ucode and initramfs? yeah, they remain separate [15:32] TJ-: it puts a line "initrd /boot/ucode /boot/initramfs", whereas Ubuntu it just putting "initrd /boot/ucode" [15:32] richardonnay: they haven't been in the channel for the past 24 hours... you might be scrolled too far back [15:34] they're in the channel right now, so probably their IRC client will collect highlights [15:38] is there a sane way to get nss to use p11-kit-trust.so instead of libnssckbi.so? Symlinking is prone to be overwritten during updates to libnss3 [15:39] I would guess dpkg-divert to permanently move the original nssckbi aside [15:40] grawity, I assume that dpkg-divert would persist through package upgrades? [15:40] yes, that's generally the point [15:40] thank you [15:46] pragmaticenigma: yeah, looks like irssi freaked out on me. thanks [16:01] IanLiu TJ- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1635781 [16:01] Launchpad bug 1635781 in os-prober (Ubuntu) "Arch Linux Dual-Boot fails to boot Arch" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:06] hello, is anyone of you using Jitsi Meet? or has experience setting up a jitsi-server? [16:07] Surfer2011: For server help, you may find #ubuntu-server to be more assistive. In either channel, please describe your issue in as much detail. It's easier to for someone to connect with you if they know what exactly the problem is, rather than asking if anyone is knowledgable on the topic [16:08] also note this software is not part of ubuntu [16:18] guys why am i getting "modporbe: FATAL: Module psmouse not found in directory /lib/modules/? [16:20] Hello everyone. I am on Ubuntu 16.04. I am having problems installing nodejs and npm on my machine. I followed these steps (https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-install-node-js-10-11-12-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04-via-apt-and-snap/) but when I run node -v after the steps, I get "The program 'node' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install nodejs-legacy".. [16:21] Maybe there are some old instalations of nodejs or I don't know. I'll be glad if someone can help me to remove all of the old installations and to install nodejs and npm properly. [16:24] you used the website links. use the -Legacy yet? [16:24] Hi, I'm need a little bit help. Can somebody help me please? [16:25] pulamea: For help, you may find it to be more assistive to explain the issue in as much detail as you can. If someone knows something about the application or issue your discussing, they will be more likely to try and help [16:26] IntelCore, when I run "nodejs -v" I get v4.2.6. I guess it's a very old one. Or no? [16:26] Okay thanks [16:26] Suddenly my Ubuntu server, it's not accepting incoming connections anymore [16:26] does node update? [16:27] This is Apashe 2.2 [16:28] pulamea: that's not very detailed at all... version numbers, what you recently changed, did you update, when did it stop working, do you have a back up... is it a speicific application... all of that will greatly help the volunteers here try to help you [16:28] Installing Ubuntu 18.04.4 Desktop from ISO onto VM. Installation spending most of time UNINSTALLING packages. Is this normal? [16:28] IntelCore, what do you mean? [16:29] It didn't update when I followed the link above [16:29] get it thru your apt. [16:30] here is what I mean, from screenshot https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Bd1MnhX2/screenshot%20ubuntu%20slow%20install.png [16:32] pragmaticenigma Hi sorry, have not changed anything recently, this have appear from nowhere. Apashe is 2.2, Ubuntu is 8.10 Interpid Ibex. This is stopped working this morning. Not have a backup. Only applications running is Apashe and some python backend for process EPOS payments through webiste. [16:32] pragmaticenigma This is live production server, so making updates and changes is to a minimum of course. Although this problem have never happened before. [16:32] pulamea: Unfortunately, that version of Ubuntu is severely out of date and way past it's EOL... take the server off the internet NOW! [16:33] pulamea: Support here is only for Ubuntu versions 16.04, 18.04, 19.10 [16:33] pulamea: Running a version that old is irresponsible and very likely was hacked [16:34] pragmaticenigma Is there place where I can get support for older version, like from comunity? === genii_ is now known as genii [16:35] pulamea: This is the community... and no... take that server offline right now... you/your company has been compromised [16:35] pragmaticenigma Unfortunately problem is that is impractical upgrade the server at this time. As it is use for processing EPOS payments from website, so is possible loss of sales from downtime. Although we are keeping it very secure, but i understand your concern. [16:36] pulamea: That doesn't matter... support is not available here or through any Ubuntu support channels... it is too far out of date. More than 10 years out of date... it is not anyone's problem but yours and your company that they were too lazy and stupid to keep their software up-to-date. Again... take the server off the internet now... it is compromised, it has been hacked [16:37] Thats not so possible, we are keeping it very secure. Even if is older OS. Is fully up to date. Is this probably problem with Ubuntu? Or with Apashe? do you think [16:38] pulamea: Again, support is not available here or anywhere... you are out of luck [16:38] !eol | pulamea [16:38] pulamea: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [16:38] Also as all backend software is in-house developed. We are concerned perhaps to upgrade would break this. [16:38] Can you advise then please on best upgrade? [16:39] pulamea: This isn't the channel for the support on this. You may get something in ##linux, but I somewhat doubt it. Good luck. [16:39] pulamea: build a new instance from the ground up. Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and keep it up to date [16:39] Thanks [16:40] Is Romania government [16:40] 18.04 install fast [16:43] IntelCore thanks. You know if BancaRapid its working with this version 18.04? We are using it for process land tax payment [16:44] IntelCore As its council/govt website its very important to work [16:44] install 20.04 in a vm and test your software? [16:44] hello.. :) [16:44] kxsi Thanks we are not allowed to use VMs unfortunately because virus security [16:44] kxsl: Ubuntu 20.04 has not been released, please do not suggest unreleased software versions [16:44] look at your software dependencies and read their change logs and release notes in the new ubuntu? [16:45] I have a question about a microsoft product that I installed on ubuntu... :) dunno if I can find support here... :) [16:45] I have mssql-server 2019 Express Edition installed on some ubuntu 18.04 server. For some reason, after I restarted the ubuntu machine, it didn´t restart the SQL server. I tried to start it manually using su - mssql /bin/bash -c /opt/mssql/bin/sqlservr and then it told me Error: The evaluation period has expired. what?!... what can I do now?... [16:45] then what are you upgrading to? not 18.10 right [16:45] kxsi Sorry I'm not understand the last question [16:45] kxsi Currently its run 8.10 [16:46] kxsi Intreped [16:46] lovetruth: Support for that is only through microsoft... this channel only supports software provided through official ubuntu channels and repositories [16:47] kxsi Problem mainly is IT department is very strict, because in the past there is been problems of viruses, they are very caucious to allow updates, VM, etc [16:47] oh wow you are way behind. you will want to do a clean install of the newest lts after testing and upgrading your software [16:47] tell them updates prevent viruses, not cause them? [16:47] kxsl: please do not jump in the middle of an ongoing support... as you can see, it creates confusion and all of this was already discussed with them [16:47] And which one would be their freenode channel?... :) #microsoft doesn´t seem to work ... :) [16:48] lovetruth: You call the support phone number, provided on the license that you purchased for their product [16:48] that would be one way... :) I might go that way... I thought I could find some commands to fix my installation... :) [16:48] kxsi Problem unfortunately IT manager is not allowing this. Is there some way to install without fresh? [16:49] some quick-fix on freenode ... :) [16:49] !ot | lovetruth [16:49] lovetruth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:50] lovetruth: You may find "help" in #mssql ... use /msg alis list {topic} next time to find the appropriate channel [16:50] pragmaticenigma, tried there already... no one answered and they are only a few... :) but... thanks 👍 :) [16:53] What is best version Ubuntu to upgrade to [16:54] pulamea: I told you already: 18.04 LTS [16:54] that is the mosy current and recent release... there is another coming soon, but for your purposes i would wait until late 2020 to worry about updating it [16:55] pragmaticenigma Sorry you are saying I should wait? Or I shouldn't wait. Sorry my English is not so much! [16:56] pulamea: The currently supported version of Ubuntu, with Long Term support is 18.04 [16:57] pulamea: In the future, make sure you or your organization is running "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" regularly to make sure the machine is receiving the latest security updates. [16:59] pragmaticenigma 18.04 is working the same as 8.10? As I am scared to break things. Many people are rely on this service for paying they're tax. But if is the same thing then maybe it's not a trouble. [17:00] pragmaticenigma Also 18.04 it's secure? As this server is processes people's credit/debit card details, so security its very priority to us. [17:00] pulamea: that's your organizations problem. and no, there are significant changes to Ubuntu in 12 years. You will have to build up a new machine to install to. You will have to test it on your own to see if things are working. [17:00] your nickname is offending, ¨pulamea¨ :) ... - in my (and I guess yours too) language (Romanian) ... :) [17:00] anyway, upgrade in steps [17:01] lovetruth: Please stay on topic [17:01] make backups... [17:01] lovetruth: There is no way to upgrade in steps [17:01] pragmaticenigma, yes, it is :) it depends on what services you have there [17:02] for example, mysql and so on... You have to upgrade in steps :) ... [17:02] lovetruth: I guess if your really into spending days doing the upgrade... doesn't sound like that's an option here [17:02] lovetruth Salut!!= [17:02] I did upgrades from 8.10 and sometimes the best way was really to just do a fresh install of 18.04 and then install the new versions of the services you used -> and then just import, somehow, the configs... :) [17:02] What it's mean in steps? [17:03]
