| Biessie | Once20.04 releases, 19.10 support drops? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | 19.10 support will end 20.07, 9 mo | 00:08 |
| hmmmm | hi, i have Xubuntu 19.04 installed, but to get metasploit I added the Kali package repository | 00:32 |
| oerheks | hmmmm, that makes a not-ubuntu installation, good luck with that. | 00:32 |
| hmmmm | then when i sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade, it started updating all my xubuntu packages with kali linux packages... when i rebooted it went to a blank black screen with a blinking underscore | 00:32 |
| hmmmm | help? | 00:33 |
| hmmmm | how do i undo this? | 00:33 |
| oerheks | reinstall xubuntu. | 00:33 |
| hmmmm | i have a home directory that i don't want wiped out though | 00:33 |
| oerheks | but take 19.10, that is supported. | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | hggdh: The Ubuntu installer will allow you to reinstall while preserving your home directory, even without /home on a separate partition. | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: ^^ | 00:34 |
| oerheks | true. | 00:34 |
| hmmmm | really? | 00:34 |
| hmmmm | should i try to back up with a livecd just in case? | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: Backups are always a good idea. | 00:35 |
| hmmmm | also, why is this even possible in the first place? | 00:35 |
| o0 | hmmmm: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Nightly-Installers | 00:35 |
| hmmmm | doesn't it make sense that you'd add alternate repositories to get one piece of software, not everything? | 00:35 |
| oerheks | "if you have no backup of your precious data, it is not important" | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: If you add a repository with packages that are newer than the ones you have installed, they will be installed automatically. There are ways to add repositories without that happening, but it is not the default. | 00:36 |
| hmmmm | this is ridiculous, it's an apt beginner's trap | 00:36 |
| exit70 | also consider whether there is disk/home encryption | 00:36 |
| hmmmm | how could've i anticipated it would destroy my installation | 00:37 |
| oerheks | err, you understand kali messes around with privelidges and apparmor? | 00:37 |
| hmmmm | no, did not know that | 00:37 |
| oerheks | it is not ubuntu anymore | 00:37 |
| oerheks | one should run that in a VM, kvm preferrably | 00:37 |
| oerheks | vbox is too easy to escape | 00:38 |
| oerheks | grinn | 00:38 |
| exit70 | or just pick an old laptop | 00:39 |
| hmmmm | hey guys, how do i reinstall ubuntu if it was previously installed with a single LVM partition? | 01:17 |
| hmmmm | i am in the installer, i selected "Something else", and it gives me the screen where you manually edit the partitions. /dev/mapper/vgxubuntu-root i set the mount point to / with the same ext4 fs, unselected "Format?", didn't need to change anything for the swap partition, and it doesn't give me any options for /dev/sda1 | 01:18 |
| hmmmm | ...is this right? | 01:19 |
| hmmmm | well i just went for it, the installer gave a warning that the directory structure won't be deleted, so i guess that's reassuring | 01:20 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: Sorry for the late answer, but that seems right. Do you have a UEFI based machine, and did /dev/sda1 end up being a fat32 partition mounted at /boot/efi/ ? | 01:23 |
| hmmmm | i don't remember what i put for the bootloader type in the original installation | 01:23 |
| hmmmm | it didn't say anything for partition type in //dev/sda1 - no details | 01:23 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: Did you choose the option that lets you run other programs while the installer is running? If so, can you open a terminal and pastebin the output of "mount"? That should hopefully clear up how the partitions are being used. Either way, you probably have things setup correctly. | 01:25 |
| hmmmm | https://nYiWicvc | 01:27 |
| hmmmm | oops | 01:27 |
| hmmmm | https://pastebin.com/nYiWicvc | 01:27 |
| hmmmm | oh this doesn't sound good... "Error restoring installed applications - an error occured while restoring previously-installed applications. The installation will continue, but you may have to manually reinstall some applications after the computer reboots" - actually that doesn't sound terrible | 01:28 |
| hmmmm | oh dammit i forgot to backup the tftp server config | 01:28 |
| hmmmm | but other than that, we're back! | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: Have you successfully rebooted? I don't see any EFI System Partition mounted. Is your computer configured to boot via UEFI? | 01:32 |
| === tds1 is now known as tds | ||
| hmmmm | oh, no, EFI was disabled | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: That error likely refers to applications you had installed from Kali's repositories. | 01:33 |
| hmmmm | and yes, i have successfully rebooted | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: Great, then sda1 is probably being used as a BIOS Boot Parititon (which has no filesystem, and thus doesn't get mounted). | 01:34 |
| hmmmm | i think i'm mostly back on track now | 01:37 |
| hmmmm | thanks | 01:37 |
| Jordan_U | hmmmm: You're welcome. | 01:37 |

| exit70 | uid and gid | 02:01 |
| rfm | al_nz1, number of links to the file (1002 is a lot, what is going on) and uid of owner (numeric because apparently 65534 isn't used in your /etc/passwd) | 02:02 |
| exit70 | hmm ignore my answer | 02:02 |
| al_nz1 | rfm: thanks. Re the link | 02:02 |
| al_nz1 | links - its a file structure created by a NAS - has lots of sub dirs | 02:03 |
| rfm | al_nz1, ok, all those subdirs have the '..' link pointing back up. (65534 is usually "nobody", btw) | 02:04 |
| al_nz1 | what do you mean by .. ? as in when you cdup with cd ../ ? | 02:05 |
| rfm | al_nz1, yes, every directory contains a entry named ".." which is a link to the parent. That's why "cd .." takes you up a level... | 02:06 |
| al_nz1 | so the ".." is related to the 1002? | 02:11 |
| rfm | al_nz1, yes, presumably the directory has 1001 subdirectories, each with its .. link and the parent of the directory you are listing has a link down into it, making 1002 | 02:13 |
| al_nz1 | Thanks rfm | 02:20 |
| al_nz1 | rfm: is 0 = root? | 02:32 |
| al_nz1 | in the context of chown 65534:0 | 02:32 |
| GoneViral | al_nz1: no it is not | 02:53 |
| GoneViral | al_nz1: the second parameter is the group ID | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | GoneViral:nA UID or GID of 0 is root. | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | al_nz1: ^^ | 02:56 |
| GoneViral | al_nz1: ah yes. | 02:57 |

| mkquist | YogaRolf: same question that ktosiek asked tho... wifi card? | 06:53 |
| YogaRolf | hmm | 06:53 |
| mkquist | YogaRolf: and do you know if your system 'sees ' it? like what does lspci give? | 06:54 |
| YogaRolf | not sure how do i check what i have | 06:54 |
| YogaRolf | 2sec | 06:54 |

| Bomber4Chats | 7th time or more that I try to install / reinstall linux mint on my MSI comp. and I keep getting to the initramfs console on boot, and when exiting it says it cannot find the UUID of the / partition, even though the UUID mentioned is 1-to-1 what is in the /etc/fstab file... | 08:21 |
| Bomber4Chats | I am using an /boot/efi partition, or at least I'm trying to do so | 08:21 |
| Ben64 | Mint has it's own support channel, #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 08:21 |
| Hamilton | Is hibernate disabled by default on 18.04? Then why could I do sudo systemctl hibernate? (but it didn't work on poweron) | 08:21 |
| Bomber4Chats | Ben64 pretty dead channel. I'd like to believe people in the Ubuntu channel might be familiar with this "UUID does not exist" error | 08:22 |
| Ben64 | This channel is only for Ubuntu issues | 08:23 |
| Bomber4Chats | linux mint runs on ubuntu, no? It says on boot that it runs a 5.0.0.32 image | 08:24 |
| Ben64 | It isn't Ubuntu, it's based on Ubuntu | 08:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Bomber4Chats: Ben64 just explained you we cant support it | 08:24 |
| Bomber4Chats | ¯\(°_o)/¯ So I don't have linux mint, I have Ubuntu 5.0.0.32 ^_^' | 08:25 |
| Bomber4Chats | k, nm. hoping someone will be willing to help in private | 08:25 |
| rory | 5.0.0.32 sounds like a Linux kernel version, this will be across all distros, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Fedora... this is specifically Ubuntu only support, because Linux Mint is similar enough to lull you into a sense of false security, then confuse you with a difference. | 08:27 |
| Bomber4Chats | but the kernel boots the same across all distros, doesn't it? | 08:27 |
| Bomber4Chats | just the boot sequence | 08:27 |
| rory | yes but this is support for Ubuntu, similar to how you can't take your Vauxhall to a Ford garage even though they both use gasoline | 08:28 |

| dbugger | Hi guys. I have a small crisis here. My PC boot. It shows a message of "recovering journal". What can I do?? | 10:07 |
| dbugger | My PC won't boot now. I'm in root shell from the recovery mode | 10:07 |
| dbugger | I tried a fsck -f / but it says "/dev/sda5 is already mounted" | 10:08 |
| dbugger | What can I do?? | 10:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | you can't fsck a device that's mounted | 10:12 |
| dbugger | Does that mean I have to use a live CD? | 10:14 |
| === Alina-malina_ is now known as Alina-malina | ||
| juanonymous | ok Ben64 | 10:15 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If you have a an issue at boot that need fsck I would use a live image and while booting the live image I think you hold Esc to get the splash screen you can select Check disks | 10:15 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Either that or you can just boot the live image and use gparted to run a fsck | 10:16 |
| dbugger | I will do that | 10:16 |
| dbugger | Let's see | 10:16 |
| dbugger | Running | 10:18 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If you use gparted make sure it's not mounted and right click then Check | 10:19 |
| dbugger | If it was mounted, I wouldn't be able to check it, no? | 10:20 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I think it should tell you and you have to force it, you shouldn't fsck a mounted device you'll cause data loss | 10:21 |
| dbugger | https://paste.pics/fcdcef65522adeaebd862c7629e403e1 | 10:21 |
| dbugger | It's green | 10:21 |
| dbugger | This is what I'm getting now | 10:23 |
| dbugger | https://paste.pics/c2e4288d686c491eb66fae1982cb9237 | 10:23 |
| dbugger | When I boot | 10:23 |
| dbugger | The message about the journal is gone, but it's still not booting | 10:23 |
| sixwheeledbeast | just wait a little | 10:24 |
| dbugger | Ok. I will | 10:25 |
| dbugger | 15 minutes should suffice? | 10:25 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I was thinking more like a couple of minutes. what does it display now? | 10:26 |
| dbugger | Still the same... | 10:26 |
| dbugger | No change | 10:31 |
| === Clippy is now known as Birosso | ||
| sixwheeledbeast | did gparted complete on the correct drive? | 10:34 |
| dbugger | There is only one | 10:35 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You could try to fsck again with the live image, always make sure its not mounted first. You could mount the drive to see if your stuff it there and maybe back it up if that's of concern. After that you could try to manually repair boot or reinstall Ubuntu over the top keeping your documents. | 10:39 |
| dbugger | I have Timeshift installed. Maybe doing a restore from yesterday could help?? | 10:43 |
| dbugger | sixwheeledbeast: isn't gparted going fsdk? | 10:48 |
| sixwheeledbeast | gparted should have done fsck with the check option? yo could run fsck from a terminal manually if you want | 10:50 |
| itxo | Can I install some package from a private repo (specifically https://jitsi.org/downloads/) without actually adding the repo to my sources and trusting their keys, etc.? | 10:51 |
| itxo | I wouldn't mind generally, but I'd like to avoid querying these repos every time I apt update | 10:51 |
| dbugger | sixwheeledbeast: could you confirm me which command exactly should I run? | 10:52 |
| sixwheeledbeast | fsck and then the partition | 10:55 |
| dbugger | I mean the exact commands | 10:55 |
| dbugger | For the first, I used "fsck -f /dev/sda5". Is that correct? | 10:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I have no idea where your partitions are but if you believe its sda5 then "sudo fsck /dev/sda5" | 10:56 |
| dbugger | Yeah, I did that. I get the same message I get when I try to not normally, and it freezes | 10:57 |

| tomreyn | Gemosa: if you have an OEM installation then you'd best seek support with the OEM, since it can differ from standard installations. | 11:51 |
| tomreyn | Gemosa: alternatively you could do a standard installation by writing the installer to an usb stick and booting off that. but you may end up without vendor specific customizations, software and drivers then. | 11:52 |

| pragmaticenigma | Dwarf: Do you need client support of that feature, or server level? | 13:53 |
| Dwarf | It seems that the server also needs to be version >=8.2 in order to support it, though I couldn't find any documentation on this | 13:54 |

| Dwarf | My client is 8.2, my Ubuntu server is stuck on whatever Bionic ships | 13:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | Dwarf: Bionic is 7.6, it's something I would caution against trying to upgrade as it may break other things on your system | 13:58 |

| pragmaticenigma | Dwarf: Eoan (19.10) has 8.0, and the upcoming Focal (20.04) will only go to 8.1 for now. I suspect that the feature your seeking is accompanied by other buggy features which is why Ubuntu is staying a little behind for now | 13:59 |

| pragmaticenigma | That's a bit low | 14:56 |
| malekmaroc7 | Yeah just a bit | 14:56 |
| pavlos | malekmaroc7: it is the min requirement for ubuntu 18.04 ... More memory would be better | 14:56 |
| malekmaroc7 | I wanted to use Ubuntu 19.10 btw | 14:57 |

| pavlos | malekmaroc7: can you run inxi in a terminal? post the output ... inxi -F | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | It's not a matter of versions... those system specifications have the recommendation for awhile now. You might have some luck using a different flavor such as Xubuntu, or Lubuntu. Which do have lower system requirements. | 14:59 |
| MonkeyDust | malekmaroc7: try lubuntu or xubuntu | 14:59 |
| malekmaroc7 | Do Lubuntu and Xubuntu have the same features like Ubuntu? | 15:00 |
| MonkeyDust | malekmaroc7: i guess they do, you can try it with a live session | 15:01 |
| pavlos | JumpinJack: VNC uses port 5900+n to comm | 15:02 |
| malekmaroc7 | Alrighty! I'll try that out and I will say the result. | 15:02 |
| JumpinJack | I did a vncserver :9 to use port 5909 | 15:03 |
| JumpinJack | when I use nmap or telnet to check to see if port 5909 is open, I am get indiications that the port is close. | 15:04 |
| JumpinJack | It may still be an issue with the cloud provider (its NOT AWS or Azure, which are VERY straightforward) | 15:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | JumpinJack: Is there a display for VNC to attach to? | 15:05 |
| JumpinJack | yes, there are NO errors. when VNC starts, All indications are an error with port not eing opened. | 15:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | JumpinJack: Is the VNC server process seen in "top" or similar process viewer? | 15:06 |

| yossarianuk | hi - if I were to download the latest 20.04 iso - which is presently the development branch | 16:05 |
| yossarianuk | would i stay on the development branch after 20.04 is realeased as stable ? | 16:06 |
| yossarianuk | i.e would i thnen start to be on the 20.10 branch ? | 16:06 |
| MonkeyDust | yossarianuk: there's this https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/11/ubuntu-20-04-daily-builds-available | 16:06 |
| yossarianuk | or do I have to wait for the beta .iso to come out ? | 16:06 |
| yossarianuk | MonkeyDust: thanks - but I mean after 20.04 stable is out would it stick to 20.04 or as i'm in the dev branch would i then start to be on the 20.10 branch | 16:08 |
| yossarianuk | i want to just use the 20.04 branch ... | 16:08 |
| yossarianuk | I believe the beta (due out in days) would stick to the 20.04 branch | 16:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | yossarianuk: once you are on the dev branch, you stay on the dev branch unless you manually switch over to either the LTS or regular release cycle in the package manager. Further questions should really go to #ubuntu+1 | 16:19 |
| tomreyn | yossarianuk: anything called "focal" will stay focal (20.04), but you might need to ensure the upgrade path is set to 'lts', not 'normal', in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 16:20 |
| yossarianuk | pragmaticenigma: ok thanks | 16:20 |

| isemenov | we have a rather hard dependency on that python version (with vtk) and we'd rather keep python 3.7 than patch vtk | 17:30 |

| isemenov | and sometimes stability is best | 17:34 |
| oerheks | wel, 3.8 is stable, and 20.04 is lts. | 17:35 |

| ducasse | sure, but be prepared to upgrade in april when 20.04 is released | 17:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | isemenov: Python2.7 is no longer supported. The Python group has recommended that everyone stop using it as soon as possible. What ever the library you are using, it sounds like it hasn't been updated or worked on in a long time. I'd be looking for a newer solution. | 17:40 |

| pragmaticenigma | isemenov: apologies, I didn't catch the update | 17:43 |
| isemenov | yeah, no problem. do you think it's possible? | 17:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | isemenov: code written for 3.7 should work fine under 3.8 | 17:43 |
| isemenov | pragmaticenigma: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/issues/17670 | 17:43 |
| isemenov | C++ bindings updated ever so slightly | 17:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | isemenov: They released a patch, I would investigate the issue from that angle. It is possible to install 3.7 along side 3.8 in Ubuntu using virtualenv (which is what you should be using) | 17:45 |
| isemenov | pragmaticenigma: at the moment we install python using apt-get, what are the + and - of using virtualenv to do that? | 17:48 |
| isemenov | can such an installation be made system-wide, protected by root access rights? | 17:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | virtualenv: environment prevents your python application requirements from interfering with the system tools that rely on python | 17:49 |

| chucara | Help! Something very strange is going on with my Ubuntu Server installation, and I simply cannot find out what it is. Roughly every 2 days or so, I loose the ability to host services on port 443. If I restart the server, everything is fine again. What could possible be causing this issue? | 18:09 |
| chucara | I run nc -l 443 on the server, and nc -v <servername> 443 on another machine to test the issue. | 18:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | chucara: Are all system updates and patches applied? | 18:11 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: Yup | 18:11 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: It's a <7 days old installation of 18.04 LTS and I've applied all patches between then. | 18:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | have you check the system logs... check systemctl status apache2.service ? | 18:12 |
| pavlos | chucara: the first one needs sudo nc -l 443 ... (just tried it between two systems | 18:12 |
| Ben64 | What do you mean by losing the ability to host services, does something normally run on 443 and stops? | 18:13 |
| chucara | pavlos: Ah sorry skipped the sudo. I can succesfully run the command after a restart and see messages across the machines. | 18:13 |
| chucara | Ben64: First symptom I see is my traefik reverse proxy stops responding and shuts down. | 18:13 |
| chucara | I get a message: time="2020-03-29T20:29:47Z" level=error msg="close tcp [::]:443: use of closed network connection" entryPointName=websecure If that provides a hint. | 18:14 |
| chucara | ^ From the traefik logs | 18:14 |
| chucara | Can it be a hardware related issue? (power save state or something?) | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | chucara: that's a symptom... but doesn't help find the cause... what does your web server logs say? | 18:15 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: Not sure I follow.. Which web server? | 18:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | chucara: whatever webserver your running on port 443? I don't know your configuration, you need to provide us more details of yor configuration... what roles things/servers play, what connects to what, etc | 18:16 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: Traefik is running on port 443 and redirects traffic into various docker containers. But their logs are empty as no traffic reaches even traefik on the system when this happens. I can't even netcat on said port. | 18:17 |
| chucara | I've also tried with a simple python web host - same issue. | 18:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | have you tried using netstat to see if anything has the port open when you cannot connect to it? | 18:18 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: Yes, when I stop the docker container for traefik (or stop the docker service completely), the port is not listed in netstat. | 18:19 |
| chucara | Meanwhile, when I access the port via localhost or 127.0.0.1, everything works as expected. | 18:20 |
| chucara | I'm all out of ideas, unless it is my motherboard reserving the port for ASUS Control Center (pseudo IPMI solution). But I don't know how to check | 18:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | so a docker container is redirecting to other docker containers? | 18:21 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: Yes | 18:21 |
| pavlos | fyi all: https://docs.traefik.io/ | 18:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | This is sounding more like an issue to bring up in a docker forum | 18:21 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: It's not a docker issue. I cannot netcat into the machine on this particular port when the docker service isn't running at all. | 18:22 |
| chucara | At least I cannot see how it can be... | 18:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | if the/a docker instance crashes anything is possible | 18:24 |

| chucara | The interface is not as all other ports are accessible, and I can ssh into the machine. | 18:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | !patience | frank | 18:27 |
| ubottu | frank: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ | 18:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | chucara: which is why I'm suggesting that this might be a docker specific issue and a docker forum may provide better help in resolving this issue. | 18:27 |
| chucara | pragmaticenigma: I went there originally, and they claim it to be a OS issue :D I'm looking for ways to find more information. | 18:28 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, my apologies, the repitition of my request was corrected slightly so that it was set in a more logical order. I had no intention of repeating the issue because I would not be heard. | 18:29 |
| chucara | Alternatively whether it is hardware related. This is a brand new server. | 18:29 |
| chucara | I'm not saying docker isn't the cause, but at least if I knew exactly what it was doing, I'd have an easier time raising an issue over there. | 18:30 |
| Celmor[m] | I'm getting one issue after another, first name resolution didn't work anymore, now files which should exist appear to be replaced by broken symlinks, e.g. "/etc/mtab -> ../proc/self/mounts" I;m guessing I'm at the point again where I simply have to reboot | 18:30 |
| pavlos | frank: is it missing zh_CN.utf-8 ? | 18:30 |
| Celmor[m] | /tmp seems to be replaced by a mount from loop0 | 18:30 |
| frank | pavlos, yes and lot's of other locales, but I guess this caused by the crash rather than the other way around | 18:31 |
| Celmor[m] | seems the original issue was caused by bind mounting / to /mnt and then mounting something over it (because I couldn't unmount /mnt as it was in use by everything using the rootfs) | 18:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | Celmor[m]: Unless someone is actively helping, please don't monolouge your way through the situation | 18:33 |
| pavlos | frank: does journalctl -xe give you more info? | 18:33 |
| Celmor[m] | pragmaticenigma: I merely presented my problem and what I think the issue is which I just now found out. I thought it's frowned upon to disappear from a chat once a solution is found without telling anyone | 18:35 |
| Celmor[m] | but as you wish, I'm gonna leave | 18:35 |
| frank | pavlos, I'll try, but it has been rebooted since that error. This error occurred prior to the greeter and I found that he could not continue without rebooting the machine. | 18:36 |
| frank | pavlos, besides, it crashed so hard that it left a core dump | 18:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | chucara: I don't know docker well enough. Someone in #ubuntu-server might be more knowledgeable on that aspect and interplay with Ubuntu | 18:37 |
| pavlos | frank: I dont know how to analyze a coredump but it may give you ideas ... | 18:38 |

| Pazooza | Is there a way to turn off prompting you for a password for every update and other things? | 18:40 |
| pavlos | frank: if you boot 19.10 as Try Ubuntu ... does it work? gnome, etc, ... | 18:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | Pazooza: no... install updates requires privilege escalation, which requires the password. Disabling that would make your system vulnerable | 18:42 |
| pavlos | Pazooza: you can modify /etc/sudoers but it is not recommended | 18:42 |
| frank | pavlos, the issue with this error is that it is intermittent, the hardest bugs to crack usually are. | 18:43 |
| frank | pavlos, many sessions went by without a hitch and after the reboot everything seemed just fine. I have also made sure that the disks/ SSD's are okay and they are in a healthy state. | 18:44 |
| pavlos | frank: I see a few bugs about gnome-initial-setup, one suggestion is to wipe the .config/ (rm -rf ~/.config) | 18:48 |
| frank | pavlos, do you have a link to a bug that you suspect? | 18:49 |
| pavlos | frank: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-initial-setup/+bug/1850832 | 18:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1850832 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Forced login as gnome-initial-setup user, which then crashes." [High,Invalid] | 18:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | frank: pavlos: I don't know if I would recommend wiping/removing ~/.config ... I would suggestion trying to "mv ~/.config ~/.config_backup" | 18:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | that way you can recover customizations or replace things one-by-one until it breaks again | 18:50 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, better safe than sorry, right? | 18:50 |
| pavlos | frank: see workaround in the bug ... pragmaticenigma sure. mv .config to a safe place | 18:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | frank: precisely | 18:51 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, besides, making a diff between the faulty and the working one could be interesting to find out the root cause. | 18:52 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, pavlos, thank you for your help so far. I'll try out the workaround with a backup copy of the config file | 18:52 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, I meant directory. | 18:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | frank: one other thought... does the locale of the machine get changed frequently between languages? | 18:53 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, no, I think that is a red herring. The only locale used is Dutch | 18:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | this is on a fresh installed machine frank ... or one that has been around for a while? | 18:55 |
| pavlos | frank: if you read the bug details, a user's shell may not be correct in /etc/passwd | 18:56 |
| frank | pragmaticenigma, not freshly installed, just about half a year from fresh installation without any legacy (my father used to be a Windows user) | 18:56 |
| pavlos | frank: grep user-logged-on /etc/passwd | 18:57 |
| frank | pavlos, his shell is /bin/bash , so nothing out of the ordinary | 18:57 |
| pavlos | frank: so, grep frank /etc/passwd should show /bin/bash as the last field | 18:58 |
| frank | pavlos, it does, but the rest of the bug report looks quite familiar and describes the issue my father is running into pretty well. | 18:59 |
| pavlos | frank: so boot into recovery and remove gnome-initial-setup, reboot, test | 18:59 |

| iKarus987 | wondering i have dual boot windows and ubuntu. can i read write on the windows based hard drive? | 19:46 |
| iKarus987 | whenever i try to do i get "read-only file system" | 19:46 |
| iKarus987 | can i change the permission in linux? | 19:47 |
| iKarus987 | even though i check the permission status. It says "rwx" | 19:48 |

| chucara | iKarus987: Do you have fast boot enabled in Windows 10? | 19:48 |
| iKarus987 | no idea what that is | 19:49 |
| iKarus987 | all i did was install ubuntu and created the grub from there | 19:49 |
| chucara | I remember having the same issue a few years ago, and that was the problem. See here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/917695/read-only-partition-dual-boot-win10 | 19:49 |
| iKarus987 | also | 19:50 |
| chucara | It may be other issues as well, but that was mine. | 19:50 |

| iKarus987 | yep i can watch movies from there | 19:50 |
| iKarus987 | and move things from there to my linux partition | 19:51 |
| iKarus987 | but i cant make a folder ect | 19:51 |
| chucara | iKarus987: That's all consistent with it being read only. | 19:51 |
| iKarus987 | oh okay | 19:51 |
| iKarus987 | but the guy on his post said | 19:51 |
| iKarus987 | he couldn't open files | 19:52 |

| chucara | iKarus987: Ok, that wasn't what I experienced, but your mileage may vary. I definitely know that dual booting and fast startup doesn't play well together. I can't say why though. | 19:52 |
| iKarus987 | hmm i see | 19:53 |
| iKarus987 | damn i have space issue xD | 19:53 |
| chucara | iKarus987: There's another SO post here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/532590/ntfs-disk-on-a-dual-boot-became-read-only | 19:53 |
| iKarus987 | just so you know | 19:53 |
| iKarus987 | my hard drive which is m.2 ssdd | 19:53 |
| iKarus987 | is only running ubuntu | 19:53 |
| iKarus987 | then i have another m.2 ssd that's only running windows | 19:54 |
| iKarus987 | then i have this extra hard disk big fat one. Where i wanna put all the trash | 19:54 |
| iKarus987 | games,movies ect | 19:54 |
| chucara | Oh.. So you are booting from two different harddrives, each with their own boot record? (as it: you choose in BIOS/UEFI which to boot?) | 19:55 |
| iKarus987 | yes | 19:55 |
| iKarus987 | i have to grub | 19:56 |
| iKarus987 | to get into ubuntu | 19:56 |
| iKarus987 | otherwise it just auto goes into windows | 19:56 |
| chucara | Ok, then you have the bootloader (GRUB) on one drive alongside one OS, and the secondary OS on the other. Meaning you cannot boot without having the 'master' harddrive installed. | 19:57 |
| chucara | Then it could still be fast start. | 19:57 |
| iKarus987 | i think i can boot into windows from grub | 19:58 |
| iKarus987 | never tried. but the windows drive shows up there | 19:58 |
| chucara | iKarus987: It's not a problem. There's just a small, but significant difference. I would definitely boot into windows and disable fast boot, then shutdown your PC (don't just restart) and try again. | 19:59 |
| iKarus987 | ok | 20:01 |
| theborger | ? what do you type to unzip a series of zip files? like i have zip files like First.001.zip, First.002.zip etc | 20:09 |
| xet7 | theborger: unzip *.zip | 20:09 |
| theborger | they all need to be unzipped to create the file inside | 20:09 |
| theborger | xet7: thanks | 20:10 |
| xet7 | theborger: look at "man unzip" does it have info about multipart zip | 20:10 |
| xet7 | theborger: in case it does not work | 20:10 |
| genii | theborger: If they're laid out like so: file.zip file.z01 file.z02 and so on, use unzip -FF file.zip | 20:17 |
| theborger | xet7: got it working thanks | 20:19 |
| theborger | genii: thanks | 20:20 |
| pyzozord | hello what's the deal with vi on ubuntu? There is no "vim" on my ubuntu 19 but when i type vi --version it introduces itself as vim | 20:22 |
| sarnold | pyzozord: there's a bunch of variants of vim, some with gtk, some with qt, some with different language runtimes for scripting, etc | 20:24 |
| sarnold | pyzozord: so the alternatives system is used to select which one is launched when 'vim' is used; take a look at ls -l /usr/bin/vim /etc/alternatives/vim -- hopefully it'll help you get your system back to useful | 20:24 |
| oerheks | In Ubuntu Vim vi actually starts Vim by default https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/20858/whats-the-deal-with-the-vi-vim-in-ubuntu-18-04-19-04 | 20:25 |
| === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon | ||
| pyzozord | sarnold: can you describe how the alternatives system works / is implemented in a bit of detail but in few sentences? | 20:26 |
| === sammyg is now known as CrazySam | ||
| sarnold | pyzozord: since you can have mutliple packages that supply a "vi" or "editor" or "sendmail", etc, debian introduced "alternatives" as a way to let packages provide vim-like things or sendmail-like things, and let admins decide which package will be used for those things | 20:27 |
| sarnold | pyzozord: that sounds kind of complex, but it mostly just means there's a lot of extra symlinks from /bin and /usr/bin into /etc/alternatives, which point to whichever tool actually *does* things | 20:29 |
| pyzozord | sarnold: aha, ok that's very clear, thanks a lot! | 20:29 |
| sarnold | pyzozord: update-alternatives --config vi or update-alternatives --config vim will probably get you going :) | 20:29 |
| aliendude5300 | Hi, trying Ubuntu 20.04, what channel can I use for bug reporting? Chromebook sound isn't working on a Lenovo N20, didn't work on a 19.10 install either | 20:33 |
| aliendude5300 | Looks like the hardware is a chtmax98090 sound card | 20:34 |
| aliendude5300 | I tried the Git UCM fix but it did not work | 20:34 |
| tomreyn | you can use #ubuntu+1 for self-support, the standard bug tracker for bug tracking | 20:34 |
| sarnold | aliendude5300: there's an #ubuntu+1 for discussing devel releases; but a bug report would be to use ubuntu-bug | 20:34 |

| aodsnasion | Hi guys, trying to compile kernel on ubuntu 18.04 x64 and this error occurs: | 20:50 |
| aodsnasion | Makefile:1078: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failedmake: *** [vmlinux] Error 137 | 20:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | aodsnasion: compiling is not supported here, the volunteers here focus on supporting the packages as provided by official Ubuntu repositories. Is there a particular reason that you are compiling a kernel rather than seeking an already compiled kernel that matches your use case? | 20:57 |
| pfloyd | Bashing-om: I can import numpy in Python 3.6, but in Python 3.8 I get an error: cannot import name 'multiarray' from partially initialized module 'numpy.core' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py) | 21:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | pfloyd: You should be using virtualenv or pyenv for version specific python applications, also use pip only inside the virtual environments for python. Do not install with pip on your main system. You will break Ubuntu's core applications for system admin | 21:00 |
| pfloyd | pragmaticenigma: I'm not installing via pip. I'm using apt | 21:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | pfloyd: Are you on Ubuntu 18.04 or something else? | 21:02 |
| pfloyd | 18.04 | 21:02 |
| pfloyd | pragmaticenigma: I guess I can update my script to remove the f-strings and go back to "...".format(...) but was hoping to use Python 3.8 | 21:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | all the packages for Ubuntu 18.04 are matched to Python 3.6 ... which means anything written to 3.8 documentation will not work | 21:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | pfloyd: You can use virtualenv to isolate your instances... that way your python3.8 requirements won't interfere with python 3.6... this is currently the recommended approach to running python applications in all environments, especailly where python is a part of the core OS: https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/basics/how-to-use-python-virtualenv | 21:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | pfloyd: the whole purpose of virtualenv is to enable python applications to be run on one system with different requirements, preventing those requirements from interferring with other instances | 21:06 |
| pfloyd | pragmaticenigma: gotcha, ok I'll look into that longer term and use 3.6 for now, thanks | 21:07 |
| HikaruBG | hi Guys! | 21:19 |
| HikaruBG | My Bluetooth pcie adapter (Atheros 9160) stopped working. Apparantly the Windows can not recognize it either. I think something is wrong with the adapter itself and it needs replacing | 21:21 |
| HikaruBG | what Bluetooth 5.0 pcie adapter is supported by Ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| HikaruBG | I had problems with the Atheros all together. | 21:21 |
| HikaruBG | Any suggestions? | 21:21 |
| mihael_keehl | I've migrated a virtual machine over to another server and the interfaces changed. So I changed it in /etc/network/interfaces. However, ip route is showing routes for the old interfaces, how do I update that? I've already reboot and restarted networking | 21:27 |
| RadSurfer | anyone know if this has been updated since November 2019? :: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=19.10&architecture=amd64 | 21:28 |
| HikaruBG | Can I check if some chipset is compatible with ubuntu before I purchase the Hardware? | 21:34 |
| HikaruBG | https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YZ7J8QD/ref=psdc_430513031_t3_B07Y2MYK4N? | 21:34 |
| HikaruBG | RadSurfer, there are constant updates for the 19.10 | 21:34 |
| HikaruBG | once you install it, run the updates | 21:34 |
| sarnold | HikaruBG: you can poke around https://certification.ubuntu.com/ -- maybe a certified system uses the same chipset? | 21:37 |
| RadSurfer | running it now, since November, but that was my "learning curve" period; I want to perform a totally clean install, now that I understand things better, and on a shiny new HDD. | 21:37 |
| RadSurfer | I would hope that Ubuntu's performance would be even better than it has been. Except for when it LOCKS-UP solid, it has been quite stable. | 21:37 |
| HikaruBG | sarnold, thanks! | 21:38 |
| dracnoc | @HikaruBG - that wifi card uses the Intel chipset, which is part of the current upstream kernel. In theory, it should work just fine and Intel supply drivers from their website too | 21:42 |
| HikaruBG | Thanks, I was thinking the same. This is the main reason I was looking specifically for Intel chipset | 21:43 |
| HikaruBG | thank you , dracnoc | 21:43 |
| halvors | Hi! How can i use disk encryption with LUKS2 in the ubuntu installer but without lvm? | 22:04 |
| oerheks | i think luks wants lvm, by default, find a guide for btrfs? | 22:11 |
| halvors | i want to use btrfs yes, is there a guide for it? | 22:12 |
| swift110 | hey all | 22:42 |
| pavlos | HikaruBG: Atheros 9160 should use the ath9k driver. Can you verify this driver is loaded for your wifi ? | 22:54 |
| HikaruBG | it is... the device is no longr recognizable in Windows as well | 22:54 |
| sarnold | HikaruBG: hmm, have you tried a full power-off reset? yank power, yank battery etc? | 22:56 |
| HikaruBG | no, I haven't tried that. | 22:56 |
| HikaruBG | I have ordered new WiFi 6 / Bluetooth 5 PCIe adapter | 22:57 |
| pavlos | HikaruBG: does lspci show the atheros card, can you post that one line? | 23:02 |
| HikaruBG | Currently I can't ... I will in an hour or so... | 23:03 |
| HikaruBG | The Wifi is still working. Just the Bluetooth is not. Can not find the bluetooth device. | 23:03 |
| pavlos | HikaruBG: no worries | 23:04 |
