[00:22] my system is currently in an unbootable state with all current grub options-- 4.15.0-88 or 4.15.0-91 and their respective recovery modes [00:23] just hangs on "loading inital ramdisk" [00:24] I tried update-initramfs but it didn't seem to do anything [00:25] do you need to install the linux-modules-extra* package that corresponds with your kernel versions? [00:25] I created new install media and it boots up fine off the 5.3.0-28 kernel on the usb drive [00:25] sarnold, I have no idea. [00:26] all I did was apt update && upgrade and it broke everything [00:26] would I just chroot in to do that? [00:27] yeah, if you're at a rescue prompt from anothr media, that should do the trick [00:27] I don't think I've ever seen a rescue option [00:28] would that be under grub when I first boot off the usb stick? [00:29] Good evening, does anyone know why ubuntu 18.04 when booting in rescue mode is mounting my drive as read-write ? I want it read only [00:29] 18.04 is the version i use [00:30] why do you want it read-only? [00:30] zerofree [00:30] that would be normal behaviour by default, iirc [00:31] mount -o remount,rw / # is in my list to do. [00:31] oerheks: Yes, tried that too... but its active wont do it [00:32] I want ro , not rw [00:33] interesting, why would your linux behave different? [00:33] mint perhaps? [00:34] um are repos down? [00:34] err: could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubunut bionic inrelease [00:34] nshire, no? [00:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ck28zvqgjb/ [00:36] I'm on wifi and firefox is connecting fine [00:36] maybe they are in sync, try again in a minute? [00:37] still getting index files failed to download [00:40] nshire: What about ' ping -c3 8.8.8.8 ; ping -c3 google.com ' ? [00:41] I can actually ping archive.ubuntu.com, 1.1.1.1, google, etc fine [00:41] I can even ping us.archive.ubuntu.com [00:42] does chroot do something weird with the network? [00:43] well I should be clear, I can ping those fine from a different terminal [00:43] hello [00:43] oh from chroot, maybe no networking running nshire [00:44] this is interesting [00:44] I can ping IPs but not hostnames [00:45] edit nano /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver something [00:48] I need to install the resolveconf package to do that [00:48] which is difficult when it cannot resolve the package server [00:49] nvm I think it went through [00:49] oerheks, thanks [00:52] new package available: linux-firmware ... I bet this will fix my problems [00:53] (currently on 1.173.16). [00:56] ye, a recent update [00:56] and more [01:06] great it still gets stuck on loading initial ramdisk [01:10] 1.173.16 [01:10] erm.. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GnyDjhP2kY/ [01:12] Is this the proper channel to post about compilation issues? [01:12] I have a user (of SuperTux) who's getting linker errors with SDL2. [01:12] And I don't know how to help them further. [01:12] Or, maybe #sdl would be a better channel. [01:14] https://snapcraft.io/supertux us the snap version [01:14] Oh well I'm gonna have them join here first. [01:15] 0.6.1.1 .. global play [01:15] oerheks: I didn't know we had a snap version :D [01:15] have fun! [01:15] Thank you! :) [01:16] I'm part of the supertux team by the way... [01:16] But that thing is maintained by someone else, probably grumbel [01:16] oh then it is curious you did not knew [01:16] Lothar Serra Mari (lserramari) [01:17] * oerheks downloading add-ons [01:17] :D [01:17] SuperTux add-ons? [01:17] yes, internal routine to get them [01:17] Have fun :D [01:17] maps mostly [01:19] is there likely to be anything important in /etc/ ? I give up on fixing my install and I'm gonna nuke it and reinstall [01:20] so far only archived /home/ and I don't really want to bother with more [01:23] nshire: How important /etc/ is really depends on what you're doing. In general, server type things tend to have a lot of important configuration in /home/ and desktop type things have a lot of configuration in /home/you/ . We can't really tell you easily if you have anything important in /etc/. [01:23] just desktop type stuff [01:23] drive format time [01:24] nshire: Ubuntu's installer will allow you to re-install preserving /home/, even if it's not on a separate partition. [01:24] I didn't see that option when I checked earlier === DarthRadar1 is now known as DarthRadar [01:25] nshire: It should detect an existing install and give you an option. I haven't used the Ubuntu installer in some years so I can't say exactly how that option looks. [01:26] nshire: If you boot to the desktop of the LiveUSB (so that you can run other programs) you can post screenshots of what you're seeing in the installer and we can confirm that you're choosing the correct options. [01:31] stop [01:31] quit [01:31] quit [01:31] !yay [01:31] Glad you made it! :-) [01:31] lol [01:32] !cookie | Jordan_U nshire [01:32] Jordan_U nshire: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:32] I'm going to see if I can get a 5.x kernel installed and then I'll actually give up on preserving the filesystem [01:32] !hwe [01:32] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [01:33] that would bring 5.3.x [01:35] FWIW this appears to be the exact same bug I'm experiencing although I am on the very latest bios [01:35] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1144800/ubuntu-18-04-2-boot-stuck-on-purple-screen-after-updates/1145959 [01:36] sometimes funny things are working through, can take a minute... [01:37] and i heard about a nasty one,.. [01:37] "Picking autologin crashes the login screen for me. I need to manually kill gdm3 from a console in order to log in. Only happens on my machine using nvidia drivers." [01:38] yeah bugs happen [01:38] firmware bugs that kill all boot options are not fun :D [01:39] apt install -f [01:41] what is -f ? [01:42] it'll try to finish installing packages that had failures during install [01:43] lestac, fixes broken dependencies [01:43] heavier would be dpkg reconfigure [01:45] arm [01:45] sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 [01:45] ups, wrong window [01:45] hey good night/day folks [01:45] oh it would help if the webchat actually put me into the channel rather than somewhere else === zbenjamin is now known as Guest20637 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:45] im trying to add the qBittorrent stable PPA for buuntu 18.04 [01:46] but i get an hash sum mistmatch, i know hwat it means but i doubt the PPA is hijacked, i tihnk the dude just forgot to update it's release file (it's only a few days old by now) [01:46] is there a way i can override that error? [01:47] oerheks, so I should try "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04" after I've chrooted in [01:47] kremator: are you using apt-cacher-ng? [01:47] file a bugreport, 9 hrs old .. https://launchpad.net/~qbittorrent-team/+archive/ubuntu/qbittorrent-stable?field.series_filter=bionic [01:48] sarnold, nope, im using olden apt-add-repository [01:48] kremator: apt-cacher-ng is more like squid-deb-proxy, it's a caching http proxy that some folks use.. but it's also got a habit of serving up the wrong file once in a while [01:49] sarnold, oh ok, but no im not using any kind of reverse proxies [01:50] no issue here [01:50] are you fully updated? sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [01:52] oerheks, is that with me? [01:52] nope im not fully updated i think but im neither that outdated [01:52] remove lists and update again [01:53] oerheks, already did that [01:54] but im gonna update again after i removed the ppa [01:54] oh wait [01:54] sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure [01:54] lol [01:54] looks like the problem isnt that PPA btu another one i have [01:54] kill it, gently [01:55] oerheks, welp. i prefer disabling it for now [01:56] I don't understand - loading kernel 5.3.0-45-generic..... loading initial ramdisk [01:57] then gets stuck again [01:57] how is this possible? [01:58] holys... oerheks remember when youa sked me if i was fully updated and i answered that i wasnt but i wasnt that outate either? [01:58] welp, lookslike i even have a f... kernel update ahead [01:58] its have been only 3 months lol === leion1 is now known as leion [02:01] is there any way to get more output from grub, other than just removing "quiet" from the linux line? [02:05] Hi, I am trying to diagnose why my Panda PAU09 USB wifi adaptor randomly disconnects and I'm having issues. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can shed some light into my troubleshooting process. I am running "journalctl --follow" to see what pops up when I get a disconnect. Is there anything else I should do, like common config changes when using usb wireless in Ubuntu? [02:08] reading articles, it should work fine [02:08] rtl2800 usb is the chipset? [02:08] i have a lot of storage space but i can no longer install more apps via apt install https://hasteb.in/bagiqufa.sql [02:09] not sure how to resolve this i need to install some apps for school [02:09] what happens when you do? [02:09] that post says enough space.. [02:09] @oerheks yes [02:11] what would limit the install of apps? [02:11] @oerheks I read some articles and reviews that say it works great. The first adaptor I got had similar issues, and the manufacturer send me a new one. Now the new one is having issues as well [02:11] pi0, can we see an output when you try to install something? [02:12] yes [02:14] that is odd [02:14] now it works [02:14] maybe unattended updates was bugging you? [02:15] i did an apt update [02:15] and upgrade [02:15] then it worked i have no clue [02:15] "locked by an other process" something [02:21] hi all, I'm running ubuntu 19.10, and I'm trying to get my mouse scroll wheel to work. from what I have read, I think I am using a default ps/2 driver, and I should switch to an intellimouse driver? but I'm not sure how to do that [02:25] Ivan81: Have you looked in your bios to see what the USB settings are ? As that is what bios passes to the opeating system. [02:26] I'm not sure how that's relevant...the mouse works, just not the scrolling feature. Does it matter if I'm full speed USB for the other functions? [02:28] Ivan81: I too would not think so - My sysyem when I changed to a USB mouse I did have to reset in bios. [02:38] doesnt work [02:39] whoops [02:39] wrong area [02:57] How to ungroup the opened windows in the dock [03:04] Now that I have started asking for help with my random wifi usb disconnects, its not going to do it anymore [03:20] Is there a way to reset network settings systemwide, removing all configs? [03:20] and reinstalling network again as a new fresh install of ubuntu? [03:30] I'm getting "no root file system defined" on the installer [03:30] trying to preserve my /home/ folder as per Jordan_U 's advice [03:32] imgur.com/avB5Rg.png [03:33] nshire: Been awhile since I have encountered 6 - but early in the install is a 'use as' flag that must be set to / . [03:33] btw sry this is the url http://i.imgur.com/avsB5Rg.png [03:35] 6? so far I have not seen any windows to enter flags [03:38] nshire: Maybe at the screen in the paste - select "change" - do you see "use as" - mabe go back a step ? [03:38] I'm on the installation type page, and selected "something else" [03:38] oh I think I see [03:38] nshire: "something else" is valid for your use case. [03:40] https://i.imgur.com/MuFJlfl.png === jacober_ is now known as jacober [03:40] then mount it at / ? [03:41] k so use as ext4, mount at / it is [03:41] nshire: mount point" set that as / . [03:42] https://i.imgur.com/PGS1dov.png this is okay since my /home/ dir is not a system directory, right? [03:46] nshire: That is my understanding - IF you do not format the / partition then /home should be left intact. I think :( [03:46] I put it in a gz archive this morning so everything should be fine [03:47] really weird that I never could get that initial ramdisk thing figured out [03:47] sanity check here- [03:48] so it was kernel panicing on 4.15.0-88, 4.15.0-91, 5.3.0-45 when installed on disk, but I could load the liveUSBs without any issues [03:49] tried regenning the initrd, kernels, updating grub... still no changes whatsoever [03:49] all recovery options had the same problem === tds1 is now known as tds [04:02] trying Really [04:02] hard not to invoke capslock [04:03] just did a reinstall and it still halts on "loading initial ramdisk" [04:13] even the "nosmp" workaround still leaves me unbootable === tds4 is now known as tds [04:34] wow okay. enabled secureboot and it booted right up [04:34] that makes no sense === nt0__ is now known as nt0 === xclaesse5 is now known as xclaesse === NineKeys2 is now known as NineKeys === semeion is now known as mnemonic [07:18] Hi! In which file can disable the system information that shows up when I login into a server? https://puu.sh/FsA4I/4407f979f1.png I tried adding "Banner None" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but it did not help [07:39] Hi guys, when I try to copy some large files ~2GB the system often freeze or getting so slow that I can hardly move the mouse cursor, [07:39] any clue ? [07:39] I thought that it could be a low memory issue so I restarted my computer then copy the files but still the same problem [07:43] my spec: Corei3 / 4GB of ram, === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [08:22] moin [08:23] welcome faceface [08:23] I'm setting up an ubuntu server VM on my laptop to use on a private 'cloud' server [08:23] hi lotuspsychje [08:23] I built the server using: [08:23] qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom ubuntu-18.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso -hda ubuntu.qcow2 -boot d -m 1024 [08:24] Now I'm running it using: [08:24] qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ubuntu.qcow2 -boot d -m 1024 [08:24] weird thing is that I can't seem to see the network (ping www.google.com fails), but apt upgrade is doing somehting... [08:25] In general networking is confusing to me... can any one suggest a way for me to ssh into that VM? [08:27] also... what the heck is cloud-init that I keep hearing about? [08:27] faceface: you might want to try #ubuntu-server [08:28] lotuspsychje: thanks [08:53] Within the last 3 days I experience occasional "system crashs". Meaning, the whole session crashes during usage or crash during hibernation recovery. [08:53] I just experienced another one and opened syslog right after [08:53] Could anyone check, if there is something uncommon shown in there? [08:54] https://pastebin.com/t23PfgDE [08:54] I guess the crash was right before 17:32:00 [08:55] using Ubuntu 19.10 - xubuntu [08:56] Kernel 5.3.0-45-generic === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 === ravustaj1 is now known as ravustaja === mateen1 is now known as mateen [09:52] Hi [09:52] How can i get ubuntu mirrors?

[09:56] Aryan: maybe... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding_the_Universe_and_Multiverse_Repositories [10:00] man Googles good! [10:10] hi [10:12] anyone here with a Dell M4800 mobile workstation who got the fans to work so they don't wreck your nerves? every 10-20 seconds the cpu temp exceeds 60C and then the fans will jump from 0 to 2500 immediately instead of going to 1000rpm or so [10:13] I got dell-bios-fan-control to disable the BIOS settings and i8kmon zones defined but the "around 1000rpm" zone is ignored === bpsecret- is now known as bpsecret [10:14] with BIOS fan control enabled the fans sing away at 3700rpm even at 54C [10:23] how do oss, alsa and pulseaudio interact on kubuntu 18.04? [10:23] my laptop's internal speakers work fine on pulseaudio, but i cant get them to work on alsa and i cant tell which device is which [10:24] the application i'm using (twinkle) only supports alsa and oss [10:24] and the default alsa device seems to by my headset, not the speakers [10:26] ok, they do work, after all, just not on startup. this is strange [10:27] but still, which interface is based on which? [10:27] maybe knowing that will help me understand a few things [10:35] Hiyas all [10:44] hello. I've updated an ubuntu 16 -> 18 and it screwed up bootloader for me: the notebook now can't boot to windows [10:45] ubuntu boots fine. I've tried some GUI util (boot-repair) to restore bootloader, but it failed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TCTK5SJQY4/ this is the paste it generated. [10:48] FreeBDSM, do you get a boot menu? [10:48] and is there windows in that boot menu? [10:48] TomyWork: no, by default it boots right into ubuntu. Tried to hold shift to get to it. No windows menuitem there. [10:48] ok, that was missing in your original question :) === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [10:49] can't help you, just asking additional info so others, who can, won't have to [10:50] maybe googling line 469 would help [10:50] "Windows not detected by os-prober on sda2." [11:06] is it possible to do pw less sudo for a command rather than a whole bin file?Seems if i do /bin/docker i can use sudo without password for all docker commands,how about just for *docker ps* ,i know i could possibly make a wrapper script but is it possible other solutions? [11:12] vlm: I doubt so [11:13] I doubt one can make such a sudo rule [11:13] 'ps' is just 1st arg for the command you call [11:19] yes seems so [11:27] FreeBDSM, windows 10? [11:30] vlm: well, it is possible. For example: johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps [11:33] vlm: this will match *exactly* `docker ps`, not e.g. `docker ps -a`. You can add another rule with a wildcard though, like this: johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps * [11:33] dmnur: though how would i add it to alias?Cant seem to get it to work there :/ [11:34] vlm: alias? [11:36] dmnur: the Cmnd_Alias myalias = mycommand args [11:36] dmnur: doesnt seem to accept args :/ [11:39] vim in the terminal, sudo visudo, then add the line just below thw %sudo,the to save and exit , do ctl+o, enter, ctl+x [11:40] corection, then to save and exit do ctl+o, enter, ctl+x [11:41] you're editing the /etc/sudoers file btw [11:41] BluesKaj: its working the way dmnur suggested,was just wondering how to get it working with alias though i like to have one alias for multiple commands i can refer to at the sudo line [11:43] vim vim create a file called ./bash_aliases and add your aliases there [11:45] got it working i as using wrong path the whole time,thanks for help all [11:45] it'll be in dolphin>view>hidden files [11:46] ok [12:20] is it possible to have nopasswd sudo for one command and still be able to sudo all else commands?With johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps * i only get to issue /bin/docker ps * and no other commands tohugh [12:22] vlm: I didn't realize you could add subcommands or arguments to the single command nopasswd sudo [12:22] vlm: Yes, you can specify applications that you do not need to require a password for use with sudo. This article is pretty indepth on how to do it. https://askubuntu.com/a/159009 [12:22] oh, subcommands... not possible === recklessop5 is now known as recklessop [12:25] vlm: johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: ... [12:25] johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps * does work though [12:25] problem is then i cant doe any other commands :/ [12:26] vlm: I think in this case, it might be better to leave it as it is [12:36] vlm: you can also just add another line *BEFORE* that one, like this: johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL [12:37] why do I see IPs and reverse DNS for people? is because of my ubuntu or IRC client? [12:39] dmnur:lol before yes indeed,i already tried it after didnt work just didnt think to put it first thanks again === zenguy is now known as coffeeguy [12:54] vlm have you looked at docker roles? === user3 is now known as RomanGod [13:22] Is it possible to redirect a url to localhost? (i.e. when i type mydomain.com into my browser, i want it to redirect to localhost) [13:26] RomanGod: yes. edit the /etc/hosts file. [13:26] RomanGod: Add an entry to /etc/hosts... the format is IP address space then the domain/url ... example: 127.0.0.1 example.com [13:27] great thanks. Can i give a port number too? [13:28] e.g. 127.0.0.1:3000 example.com [13:28] hi all, I was just trying to start x11vnc on a remote pc, butI got this error: XOpenDisplay(":0") failed, any idea? [13:29] apparently not [13:29] RomanGod: no... just the ip address and the desired domain you'd like to you [13:29] *to use [13:30] eugenio_: x11vnc needs to be started from within the graphical environment you wish to share... by design it's not meant to be started remotely [13:31] thanks [13:32] pragmaticenigma, I have just used it yesterday, but I did an error, because I logout thew user in the remote desktop from vnc client [13:32] eugenio_: It needs an active session to attach to [13:32] pragmaticenigma any way to restart an active session from remote? [13:33] eugenio_: I don't believe it is possible... someone would need to be phyically at the machine [13:33] anyone can help me with Ubuntu server 19.10 + nextcloud? [13:34] elmie198: It works better if you explain your issue in as much detail instead of asking to ask if anyone knows anything about the thing you have a question about. [13:35] ok, thanks, well I have apache2 setup, and nextcloud is the default page. I want it so that is http://my ip/nextcloud not http://my ip [13:35] eugenio_: You might be able to spin up a virtual desktop with vncserver... but I'm not familiar with that approach [13:36] hello. Is there a _simple_ way to run a python script with a mouse click? [13:37] faLUCE: no... while it is possible, it is not recommended [13:37] pragmaticenigma: this is so bad [13:37] pragmaticenigma, some more details? [13:37] why they removed preferences from nautilus? [13:38] eugenio_: Again, not something I have a lot of experience with. Searching the web for "VNC Virtual Desktop" should start you down the path for researching it [13:38] pragmaticenigma, thanks [13:40] pragmaticenigma how do I make nextcloud not the default webpage of apache2 in ubuntu server [13:40] there should be a "launcher" for scripts. Otherwise I always have to open a terminal [13:41] faLUCE: best practices should always be to run scripts manually in the terminal [13:41] pragmaticenigma: there should be a launcher as well [13:42] for example: if you put the script in /usr/bin it's nonsense to open the text editor [13:42] faLUCE: It is dangerous to allow scripts to execute through double clicks... that's why it's not provided by default. It would be very easy for someone to just provide you with a malicious python script and you blindly execute it, and now your machine is compromised [13:43] pragmaticenigma: as said before it's not dangerous if you leave the user the possibility to configure this behavior [13:43] it's nonsense to disallow this at all [13:43] totally nonsense [13:44] faLUCE: it is for you, when the entire thing is easily enabled. However, volunteers here do not provide instructions that would intentionally leave a system vulnerable to an attack. [13:44] pragmaticenigma: no, it's totally nonsense at all. What has not to be set as "default" doesn't mean that can't be set as non-default [13:45] it has nothing to do with vulnerability [13:45] elmie198: I'm not familiar with nextcloud and apache... I offered an advisement that providing more information would help someone that is monitoring the channel find your request and reply if they knew something [13:45] faLUCE: Do you have a support question. Otherwise, please feel free to continue your discussion in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [13:46] pragmaticenigma np, thanks.. btw I got nextcloud from snap and is giving me a headache on how that change all the config locations [13:46] pragmaticenigma: the question is my first question. What is the easiest way to make a script executable with a double click, on Ubuntu? === benfrancis1 is now known as benfrancis [13:46] and it's not off-topic at all [13:47] faLUCE: And my response was, volunteers here will not provide instructions that intentionally leave your machine in a vulnerable state. [13:47] pragmaticenigma: don't be dogmatic, please. I'm reporting an issue, I'm not making polemics [13:47] pragmaticenigma: and I insist: even if you put an executable into /usr/bin you make the vulnerable state. what you say is nonsense [13:48] faLUCE: that approach only allows the one script/program to run... not every potential script on the computer [13:48] pragmaticenigma: this doesn't mean anything. A script is not potentially more dangerous than a program [13:49] faLUCE: Now you're back to having a discussion... [13:50] pragmaticenigma: it's not me who is having a discussion. please stop insisting. It's an issue, and I'm not making polemics [13:50] what would be bad is if you make the script executable with click as _default_. But not as a configurable behavior [13:51] faLUCE: The appropriate method to making a python script executable is the following: Make sure the script has the appropriate #! as the very first line. It should be #! /usr/bin/python3 ... Then chmod +x pythonscript.py ... now your script is executable [13:51] given that _every program_ can be configured in this way [13:51] pragmaticenigma: I already added the shebang and permissions [13:51] but ubuntu opens the text editor as well [13:53] it's clearly an issue. And I'm searching for a workaround, at least [13:57] when i run add-apt-repository it just hangs forever.. [13:58] pragmaticenigma: I just found the solution. I copied the script into /usr/bin and it gets executed without opening a terminal [13:59] pragmaticenigma: next time, before insisting in what you don't know, read more carefully the question [14:00] It was pretty clear that he understood the question but that as he considered it problematic from a security perspective he wasn't going to assist. [14:01] DArqueBishop: no, he did not understood it [14:02] so glad some people think they have telepathic skills. DArqueBishop you are correct, in the way they presented their inquery, I wasn't about to provide them with a solution that would leave their machine in a vulnerable state. They didn't ask about adding the script to /usr/bin... they asked how to make Nautilus execute python scripts with a double click. [14:03] pragmaticenigma: [15:36] hello. Is there a _simple_ way to run a python script with a mouse click? [14:03] pragmaticenigma: please stop insisting. [14:03] faLUCE: congratulations. You just proved his point. [14:04] DArqueBishop: absolutely not. I just proved that _there was_ an easy way. And that he did not understand the question [14:05] now I'm tired of repeating. And it's pointless. I'm going back to do my things. [14:20] Hello. [14:22] Is there a way to restore privileges on my user to default? [14:23] how could I pipe something to an email attachement ? [14:23] I do try mysqldump... | gzip |mail -s "some subject" emailaddress but I receive the dump in the body of the email [14:27] ace_me1: you can use -a to attach. `man mail` then `/attach` to see more info about it [14:27] ace_me1: I think you have to dump to a file, then issue the mail command with the -A option and give it the file [14:37] hi [14:38] i am getting issue on WSL Ubuntu [14:38] !wsl | Aquib_ [14:38] Aquib_: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [14:41] Err:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease [14:41] Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' [14:41] Err:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [14:41] Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' [14:42] this is the issue when i try to execute update command [14:42] Aquib_: Support for WSL is not available here... please see the message from ubottu [14:42] ok [15:14] how can I install systemd to ubuntu (18.04) ? I need to have a `systemd.pc` file in my `/usr/share/pkgconfig/` [15:14] does anybody know, what package I need to install for that? [15:17] zen_coder: systemd is installed by default, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do [15:17] I need to compile something [15:17] https://github.com/GENIVI/dlt-daemon [15:17] "WITH_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL OFF Set to ON to use the systemd journal in dlt-system" I have this flag ON [15:18] now I get a cmake config error [15:18] because `systemd.pc' is not found [15:19] zen_coder: I would recommend putting a question out to that development team. They might have an error in their code [15:27] zen_coder: libsystemd-dev contains that file [15:28] sorry, the systemd package should have it as /usr/share/pkgconfig/systemd.pc [15:28] hey I just learned abou ubuntu-alternatives. Is there some place with list for all things like that so I can learn about all of them? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [15:31] pyzozord: I'm not sure what you mean by ubuntu-alternatives... can you please provide a source for where you found that or explain it in a little more detail? [15:33] pragmaticenigma: i was trying to understand why vi is actually vim with most compile options disabled. I asked here few days ago they mentioned the update-alternatives. Now i'm trying to figure out source for knoweledge for these kinds of programs and systems on ubuntu so that I don't need to ask every time on irc [15:34] pyzozord: oh... "update-alternatives" not "ubuntu-alternatives" [15:41] pragmaticenigma: did I say "ubuntu-alternatives"? Yeah, sorry I meant "update-alternatives" [15:42] pyzozord: I'm reviewing the "man update-alternatives" it's a good explination on what it is for and how it works [15:45] trying to change my DNS servers in 18.04, everything says I have to change a file in /etc/netplan/, but I have no files here... what gives? [15:45] Joel: you might have NetworkManager instead of netplan.io [15:45] pragmaticenigma ah, that I do, any idea what file it sets dns in? [15:47] pyzozord: Ubuntu is based on Debian, so you can check out Debian documentation. For a short overview of some interesting commands, see Debian Reference Card: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/refcard/refcard. For more info, read Debian Reference: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ [15:48] Joel: this response might be correct if you're looking for a command line approach: https://askubuntu.com/a/1170220 [15:48] pragmaticenigma thanks a ton! [15:50] Joel: what does systemd-resolve --status | grep Servers give you? === Khaotic_ is now known as Khaotic === hggdh is now known as hggdh_ === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh__ === hggdh__ is now known as hggdh-msft [16:14] Hi there, I have a Ubuntu server installation on a proliant server running with a 500Gb disk, I ordered 2 new harddrives to put into raid1, I were wondering if it's possible to migrate the old disk to the new raid1 setup [16:16] can I just backup the old partition table and migrate that to new location, or should I rather try to migrate the files and make a new installation [16:19] gin: Method described here is still viable https://askubuntu.com/questions/526747/setting-up-raid-1-on-14-04-with-an-existing-drive [16:19] genii: Thanks! === elibrokeit is now known as ztrawhcse === ztrawhcse is now known as elibrokeit === elibrokeit is now known as ztrawhcse === ztrawhcse is now known as guys === guys is now known as elibrokeit [16:39] Hey, I'm about to install FreeCAD on my xubuntu 18.04 and just wondering if I install the one from the official ubuntu repositories, will I get new stable updates when I run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade". Or do I have to add their "stable PPA" in order to receive updates? [16:40] oaky, install the snap? https://snapcraft.io/freecad [16:41] btw, 'apt dist-upgrade' might give more packages held back. [16:42] oaky: The one in the official ubuntu repo will get patched for bugs and security fixes. typcially repo installs do not receive new features when released. You can use their PPA, however support will have to be provided by them, and you will be asked to removed it here if you run into issues with your system. Snaps are the safest as they typically have updates and feature releases included. Though support can be limited here for [16:42] them [16:43] same for PPA or Snap; trust the owner! [16:44] pragmaticenigma: Ok, thanks. If I open "Software" application and go to freeCAD and choose "Install". That is "the snap"? [16:45] oaky: There is no method to tell through the software center [16:45] * linux_user says if I have a KVM guest and it has 2 interfaces, each with static ip addresses and such, how do I set a metric for each interface so that the routing table is ordered as I wish it to be?
