=== ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [00:24] I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, a software I have calls /bin/csh so, could I install that beside bash, and leave bash as is, as the default start-up shell? I feel aliasing csh to bash would be sure wrong. [00:27] sudo usermod -s # change your default shell for your user [00:30] adam4567: yes, you can install csh alongside bash just fine [00:31] oerheks: I suppose its not much different, csh or bash. I'd like to stick with bash [00:31] adam4567: and you're completely right ;) if you try to symlink one to the other, you're going to make all kinds of horrible problems. you'd be booting to single-user mode to fix it. :) [00:31] sarnold: thanks, will look at install not switch csh to user default [00:32] Its only in 4 places in the code as "/bin/csh" suppose I could replace with "/bin/bash" [00:32] what are you doing? [00:33] sarnold: its sbcl Lisp stuff, as (sb-ext:run-program "/bin/csh" (list "-fc" cmd) [00:33] OH GOD [00:33] that's .. wow :) [00:34] easily done, but installing a passive csh might work also [00:34] adam4567: seriously though, if that's what you're solving, a simple "apt install csh" will do the trick [00:34] sarnold: thanks. Might (cautiously) try. Beaut. [00:34] I thought for a bit you might be wanting to use csh yourself for a CS class where the slides were written in 1993 and the prof wasn't about to update them or something [00:35] Probably old software, its true. [00:36] Now, the working difference between csh and bash, I can look into in my own time [00:37] adam4567: a lot of csh users moved to tcsh somewhere along the way; I don't know what features it offered over csh [00:38] sarnold: yes, have seen tcsh mentioned alot. Not sure I want to spend time there. [00:38] installed csh now. Will log out and in, and see how we go. [00:39] adam4567: probably nothing will change (and nothing needs to change) [00:39] adam4567: you don't need to *switch* to it to make this lispy thing work [00:40] sarnold: works perfectly. Log out and in is to check it hasn't switched to default. Looks good so far. Beaut! [00:40] aha :) [00:40] cheers folks. Simple, comprehensible fix the best. [00:41] every now and then I get the urge to try out one of the fancy new shells.. like https://elv.sh/ or https://fishshell.com/ [00:48] its difficult not to be a heavy shell user, for us Linux folk. I recently did a TeamViewer thing with a friend on his Win10 machine. That tiny CMD window was fun. Lol. He'd never seen command prompt stuff before. Yes, will stick with bash for now. [00:58] windows cmd? Bah, I hate it. It's so restrictive [00:59] guys LAST TIME I install 20 my battery stopped charging and I had to sdend my laptop for repair, is there some bug or was this just a normal hardwares failure? HP did not specify the cause they just sent the laptop back with a new mb [01:00] anyone heard anything about that? [01:02] a friend just had a similar problem with his lenovo; something broke with the charging capability, he's got to send it back for repairs. it'll be forever before he gets it back [01:03] had he used Ubuntu 20.04? [01:03] its either 20.04 or could be that i charged my juul device [01:04] its more likely charging the juul broke the charging circuit right? I mean the firmwarez dont get messed with when you upgrade [01:05] I want to install Focal Fossa so bad but I am scared [01:05] what if i break moms laptop again [01:05] oh, juul is known for issues. [01:05] aha! I knew it [01:05] doing release upgrade [01:06] I dont wanna mess up again she gets mad as hell if sahe cant check her mesgs on Plenty of fish [01:07] hopefully she will find me a new dad soon and i wont have to worry about things like this [01:08] no, I think my friend is using arch on that system [01:08] yeah I'd be very careful plugging cheap devices into expensive devices :) [01:09] wall chargers are cheap and while they are *also* terrible, you might be able to yank them out of the wall before they start a house fire.. but a laptop, well, that could be killed before you know anything's wrong [01:10] I'd probably just install windows 10 again but the last time i did it just sat there for 3 days updating, like it was in a fugue state [01:10] it actually downloaded a new windows 10 image === tds9 is now known as tds [01:12] EggSpurt: Why bother with Win10, instead of Ubuntu or Mint or something? [01:12] some of my ham radio stuff wont run right on wine [01:13] You made it platform-dependent? [01:14] proscan.org for one, which serves a shoutcast server so we can hear the police scanner on our phones [01:20] EggSpurt: Why not use a VM? [01:21] That way you don't have to go through the trouble of installing an entirely new OS on the metal [01:43] good idea codeguru === zbenjamin is now known as Guest57301 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:50] How can i make ubuntu onlock all entries in /etc/crypttab? [01:50] Before mounting the filesystems. [01:50] I have a multidevice btrfs filesystem spanning different luks partitions. [02:14] I need to make Ubuntu decrypt my luks partitions in /etc/crypttab before trying to mount the root filesystem. How can i do this? The case is that i have a btrfs multidevice setup. [03:00] Not sure where to ask this question, but figure someone here might have the answer.... I'm trying to mirror my local workspace to a remote server using rsync, however I need permissions preserved. Some files need to be set read only. I can sync the first time, however subsequent times rsync fails on all the read-only files on the destination; which I just want to overwrite and reset read-only. Is there some combinatio [03:00] n of flags to rsync that I need to pass to make this work? [03:27] jimklo_: -a (archive) -p (preserve) [03:29] I have a random resets in ethernet connection, this can be a problem in the cable, router, or computer? [03:30] It can be a problem in all 3. Details, details [03:31] pavlos: hmm... thats what I have.... and it doesn't work... however I think I know the problem... one of the directories on the remote system needs to be owned by a non-standard group (so docker can write into it)... I think what's happening is as I'm on mac locally, remote is Ubuntu... local ownership is login:staff, remote ownership is login:othergroup, file perms are a+r,-wx [03:35] codeguru i usiny normally, and after 2-3 minutes, they reset and don't have internet for 5-6 seconds [03:35] using* [03:36] lestac: is computer overheating? [03:39] pavlos think not, psu don't have high air [03:39] i have the same problem in another devir connected, a notebook [03:39] lestac: is this a "new" problem? e.g. did something change in your setup and this started happening? EFI from cheap cables can cause this sort of thing.. [03:40] lestac: my gut's telling me it's a router issue. If both devices are randomly disconnecting, that seems like a software issue [03:42] jimklo_ think after happen with another cable, old code probabbly [03:42] codeguru software in router? [03:43] lestac: router could be an issue, but if this all of a sudden happened and nothing changed at the router... likely not the router... [03:44] however do you know that there is internet on the wan side of the router? [03:44] lestac: more like a configuration [03:45] the router is new, we ask the change team for a week or two. From the first moment began to restart the connection sporadically now that I remember [03:46] ah.. the router is likely the issue then. [03:53] codeguru I don't know much of networking, but I can go to 192.168.0.1 and check a couple of settings, could be something there? [04:41] well, probabbly it's a problem with cable [04:41] i try another and work fine === maybeshe is now known as beaver^ [06:17] hey all [06:18] hello [06:18] I'm having issues on basic updates/upgrades [06:18] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t496GQVjTM/ [06:18] not sure why headers never updates? [06:18] ppft I don’t know a thing about linux troubleshooting [06:19] I'm thinking its broken in an update thread/ppa? [06:21] Have you tried Google perhaps? [06:38] FaTaL_G: try 'sudo apt install linux-headers-generic' first [06:52] HI [06:53] i'm trying to do a 2 server OpenLDAP multi-master setup [06:53] but all the documentation seems to be out of date [06:53] is there anything close to official on setting this up? [06:55] echelon: try #ubuntu-server [07:26] does anybody know whether there is an alternate server install iso for 20.04 available yet (even if alpha) [07:29] pmjdebruijn: come join in #ubuntu+1 for 20.04 support please [07:54] ok === leion1 is now known as leion [08:27] hi [08:27] so the eth0 is now ens3, right? [08:27] but why is it ens3 or ens33? because even when I set netplan up to use eth0 instead, there is still an ens3 [08:27] is ens3 the default in ubuntu? [08:28] or is it ens33? or is this a random number thing? [08:28] :/ [08:49] hey guys to upgrade ubuntu versions do i just change the sources 2) backu p my home directory 3) run apt-get update && upgrade + dist-upgrade? === filipnyquist is now known as mrmime [08:52] hi [08:52] anyone here? :) [08:53] Yup [09:04] phobosoph: yes, you :p [09:05] mrmime, viktor_: is the IPv6 subnet the same as the prefix? somehow? [09:06] phobosoph: prefix of what? === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [09:07] hmm [09:07] when I use netplan and set gateway6, can I force the interface? [09:16] Hello everyone. I have a friend who deleted by mistake wireless-tools and wireless-regdb and can't connect to wifi - or ethernet line which is weird. Now, I'm trying to simply download the .deb packages from packages.ubuntu.com and pass it to her so that she can install them from a usb drive or something, but I can't find .deb packages on the website [09:31] is there any way to download the deb files? I'm from debian 10, so I can't just apt download them [09:32] why can't you apt download them from debian 10? [09:33] apt-get or apt should suffice, it's still there, or no connectivity or you referring to the recent exploitz put into package systems [09:33] ?!??????! [09:34] patafix, what ubuntu version [09:41] Mathisen, eoan 19.10 [09:46] patafix, https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/wireless-tools [09:47] Thanks Mathisen [09:47] and https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/wireless-regdb [09:53] hi everyone. Anyone using the bubbleupnpserver? [09:53] no === unixfu- is now known as \unixfu- [09:54] eeos, better if you ask the real question, people tend to answer better then [09:57] ok bos [10:09] After using the system normally for a week, my system now hangs when I type my password on the login screen (the text box disappears but then immediately becomes unresponsive with the maroon background). I can't move the mouse, or switch to another TTY with ctrl+alt+. CTRL+ALT+DEL restarts the system but that's it [10:09] The only way I can find to make the system usable is getting GRUB to load the system in level 3, then switching loggin in as myself in text mode, and then running 'startx' [10:13] if I have weird issues where all of a sudden I cant ping google.com after I connect to a VPN, but I can do other things, what is the best thing to check? does ubuntu still use iptables? [10:13] or ufw or something? [10:15] hello all, I need vpn for my local machine ubuntu 18.04 .. tried openvpn but doesn't work.. could you recommend any free vpn ?? [10:15] Um, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS just uninstalled the only installed kernel, what do i do? [10:15] Mathisen: I installed it and configured on our internal home network. I was hoping to be able to streamm music across the home network, but the main receiver (Marantz NR1200) does not recognise it. Yet, if I run Kodi for example, it does see the machine. [10:16] Kingsy, I would expect the other way around, you can ping google but not other things. Anyway i would check my DNS, try 8.8.8.8 with this one you sure can ping google. [10:17] Mathisen: what I am looking for is a very light server than can server music and sound files on the internal network, without necessarily indexing them [10:17] Bluerate, OpenVPN should work, what's wrong with it? [10:18] Bluerate, Maybe you're looking for a VPN service provider? In that case it's not free most of the time. ExpressVPN, NordVPN, ... [10:18] Bluerate, There is this project also, not sure if it works atm: https://freepn.com/ [10:20] halvors: 20.04 support in #ubuntu+1 plz [10:25] akem: need only vpn for my local machine that's all [10:25] akem: I tried vpnbook with openvpn but doesn't work [10:26] akem: also, someone from community recommends simple script https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install but doesn't work also [10:31] Bluerate, Like i said VPNs aren't free. You may be able to use Tor tho. [10:33] akem: just free one [10:34] do you know OpenVPN configuration that's should work ? [10:36] is it possible to buy a VPN by paying cash / Bitcoin ?

[11:24] EriC^^, thanks, I'll give a try over there too! [11:25] ok, thank you, the command you linked,should that retunr a link? [11:25] also I thought to update and upgrade apt [11:25] max12345: yeah [11:26] and that brought me to some grub config thing where it says grub is no longer properly installed [11:26] but I'm not sure how to select a drive for installation?

Does anyone know where the source code for the ubuntu install iso is located? Specifically I'm looking for ubuntu server 18.04 with the old school install (the one that is easier to preseed, not the one with black and orange colors, sorry for the bad description). The one producing this iso: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.1/ubuntu-18.04.1-server-amd64.iso [11:44] max12345: there is one thing though you have to decide on, do you want ubuntu to use windows' EFI partition for its bootloader location? or do you want a separate EFI partition on the ubuntu drive? the latter would let it be a standalone install, the former would make it depend on windows, no windows drive, no ubuntu booting [11:44] !server | mattiasb [11:44] mattiasb: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[11:47] max12345: type "sudo cfdisk /dev/sda" [11:48] ok. I see a tree with 3 entries sda1 sda2 and then as a child of that sda5 which has "linux swap" in the type column to the right [11:49] max12345: alright, delete the sda2 and sda5 [11:49] then create a new primary partition [11:49] ubottu: 19.10 [11:49] Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) is the 31st release of Ubuntu, supported until July 2020.

[11:50] max12345: 100mb should be enough [11:51] primary or extended [11:51] max12345: primary [11:52] ok and the another one extended to recreate swap? [11:52] max12345: yes sir [11:53] Hello! When I plug my Android phone into my Ubuntu machine, I can access the files from Gnomes file manager. With some weird path like mtp://%5Busb%... But how do I access them from the terminal? [11:53] Ok. I like this program,pretty intuitive. [11:53] max12345: yup [11:53] no_gravity: look inside $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs [11:53] should the type of the 100mb partition be "linux"? that was the default [11:53] max12345: once you're done creating the partitions, go to 'type' and change the efi partition to type "EF" and the swap to type "82" [11:53] aaah [11:54] grawity: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is empty [11:54] pyzozord: Have you looked in Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad to see if the settings you're interested are available there?

Is that mount somehow specific to that userid? root cannot access it for some reason. [11:55] yes [11:55] max12345: ok, type "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" to re-read the partition table [11:56] (not that you should need root for anything here – your phone does not care about the local uid) [11:56] grawity: Didn't know that there are user specific mounts. Any way for root to access the files? [11:56] max12345: then type "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and pastebin the contents please [11:56] the restriction is actually a general FUSE feature, not necessarily something specific to gvfs [11:57] EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HWN8ZrR3Yn/ [11:57] no_gravity: why do you *need* root to access the files?

[11:58] max12345: looks good, although swap is kind of huge i just noticed [11:59] yes, I noticed that as well, but I'm not really doing anything disk space intensive anyway [11:59] max12345: alright, fair enough [11:59] max12345: type "sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sda2" [12:00] alright...

[12:04] max12345: i wonder what the size is try, "ls -lh /swapfile" [12:05] 2GB [12:05] hm. [12:05] max12345: ok, if i were you i'd leave the swapfile, and later just format the swap partition and use it somehow [12:05] ok then I will do that, sounds like a good idea. [12:06] alright [12:06] max12345: type 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' [12:06] now you're going to add the efi partition there so it gets mounted automatically on boot [12:06] add this line [12:06] UUID=0C6C-1138 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 [12:07] how much does alignment matter [12:07] are spaces good enough?

Our site runs on an ubuntu server and has a cron job scheduled to do some stuff every day at midnight. However daylight savings time recently kicked in and now the cron job is happening at 1AM. $ timedatectl [12:18] Local time: Tue 2020-03-31 12:15:57 UTC [12:18] Universal time: Tue 2020-03-31 12:15:57 UTC [12:18] RTC time: Tue 2020-03-31 12:15:58 [12:18] Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000) [12:18] System clock synchronized: yes [12:18] systemd-timesyncd.service active: yes [12:18] RTC in local TZ: no [12:18] What should I do? Try to reconfigure ubuntu's system time? Change the time of the cron job to be artificially 23:00 (which is midnight IRL)? [12:18] max12345: that looks good [12:18] max12345: ok, type "sudo grub-install" [12:19] that complains that a target is needed [12:19] max12345: try "sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi" [12:20] ok, no errors but a warning that EFI variables are not supported on this system [12:20] max12345: the thing is here, that usually you need to be booted in uefi mode, to add the uefi entry for ubuntu, it might error out on that, we can try using the default paths the motherboard knows, and once you reboot into ubuntu, then run grub-install again, if that doesnt pan out, we'll need a live ubuntu usb to boot in uefi mode to add it from there [12:21] max12345: ok, type "sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot" [12:21] max12345: as well as "sudo mkdir /boot/efi/efi/boot" [12:21] max12345: also please type "sudo ls -lR /boot/efi" and pastebin the contents [12:22] max12345: yeah that error pertains to what i mentioned above [12:22] EriC^^: can't create the later because it already exists. [12:23] EriC^^: paste of ls https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Tcf8ndm3ps/ [12:23] max12345: ah good [12:24] max12345: ok, type also "sudo mkdir /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu" [12:25] max12345: then type "sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/grub/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi" [12:26] ok. [12:27] multifractal: set the production server to use UTC as its local time [12:27] multifractal: or rather, set the locale timezone for UTC [12:28] pragmaticenigma: how do I do that? my understanding from the output of timedatectl is that it's already set to UTC "Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)" [12:29] max12345: ok, type "sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/grub/* /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu" [12:29] "no matches for wildcard" [12:30] max12345: try "sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/grub/* /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu" [12:30] EriC^^: same problem === anonimip_ is now known as anonymip [12:31] multifractal: oh, I see, it's the other way around. You're expecting something to occur at 0000 hours your local time, and the server being configured for UTC [12:31] pragmaticenigma: Oh UTC doesn't incorporate the daylight savings changes that apply here in the UK? [12:32] max12345: try 'sudo rsync /boot/efi/EFI/grub/ /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu' note the trailing "/" after grub is important here [12:32] max12345: yeah, the error is cause bash can't access the dir naturally as your user, my bad [12:33] multifractal: The entire purpose of UTC is that it doesn't have a concept of daylight saving time. Hence it's often called "Universal Coordinated Time" ensuring everyone is corrdinated across timezones and local time keeping rules. [12:33] "skipping directory ." I'm using fish not bash is that a problem? [12:33] could it be /boot/efi/EFI/Boot? [12:34] pragmaticenigma: Sorry that's pretty dumb of me. So what I need to do is advance the system time one hour forward, or set my timezone to UK or whatever [12:34] multifractal: If you're attempting to run reports. Fix your code, make sure data queries are looking at time stamps occurring within the time period you desire [12:35] pragmaticenigma: OK that's a good point. I should expect python's datetime package to return times consistent with the system clock right? [12:35] max12345: nope [12:35] max12345: ok, please type "ls -lR /boot/efi" and pastebin to make sure everything's in order [12:36] multifractal: correct, and python has many tools to help with timezone conversion. Personally I write all my code with the expectation of timestamps being in UTC... I handle the conversion to local time at the presentation layer (where the user will see the content) [12:36] EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5X7XmVMtK9/ [12:37] max12345: type 'sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/grub /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu' [12:37] sorry [12:37] max12345: type 'sudo cp -r /boot/efi/efi/grub /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu' [12:38] multifractal: python's time.time() always returns in UTC. the datetime libraries have two different calls for getting the current time.. one is set for pulling UTC, the other will generate a timestamp based on the current environmnets locale timezone setting. [12:39] EriC^^: ok paste now looks like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mHq5PDKrRf/ [12:40] max12345: looking good, type "sudo update-grub" [12:41] ok it finds 3 linux images and the memtest [12:42] max12345: awesome [12:43] max12345: ok, try rebooting, then go to the bios, make sure uefi is enabled, or csm legacy is disabled [12:43] max12345: also if secureboot is on, disable it [12:44] alright, see you in a bit hopefully [12:44] ok [12:50] EriC^^: ok, there was no explicit UEFI option I think? there was something called CSM support which is no off and secure boot was off already. [12:51] and grub was blue now, for some reason [12:54] max12345: aha so it booted into ubuntu [12:54] ? [12:55] more or less, I had to tell it to pick ubuntu as the drive to boot into but otherwise no problem. [12:55] max12345: ok, type "sudo grub-install" [12:56] ok. "finished no errors" [12:56] max12345: type "sudo update-grub" [12:56] aaah, now it found the three linux and the windows [12:57] this may sound like a dumb question is libvirt usable in the ubuntu world [12:57] so, that's it, all done? :) [12:58] max12345: yup :) [12:58] EriC^^: great, thank you so much for your help then! [12:58] max12345: no problem [12:59] ok then, bye bye and I'll go try it out now. :) [12:59] For the users who want to help test 20.04: Test week will start April 2 join #ubuntu-quality | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-20-04-testing-week/15043 [12:59] max12345: alright, enjoy :) [13:15] Southern_Gentlem: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html [13:15] what is exact release date of ubuntu 2020.04? [13:15] what kernel version is that gonna be on? [13:15] TR1950X: Please ask in #ubuntu+1 ... there is no defined date as testing will determine when it is ready for release [13:19] pragmaticenigma, ty [13:26] hey guys [13:26] anyone knows about the "no wifi after suspension" problem ? [13:28] filohuhum: There is no such thing... What you have is a computer that doesn't support the suspend feature fully and should avoid using it [13:29] filohuhum: does results for iwconfig in terminal show power management on? [13:29] it use to work [13:29] the wifi after suspension [13:30] wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"..."

[13:30] Hi! I tried to copy over a GPT partition scheme with sgdisk, and randomize the UUIDs with sgdisk -G /dev/sdb [13:32] filohuhum: in terminal do> sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf [13:32] sorry [13:33] EriC^^, while solving max12345 boot issue you did not copy the grubx64.efi (as bootmgfw.efi) from a microsoft partition is this file jan immutable bootstrap loader for MS and other OSs?
