eggbeaterI have a bit of an issue: I was just upgrading from 14.04 Server to 16.04 Server and the power went out when it was installing packages through do-release-upgrade. It had already downloaded them a callnd everything.01:06
eggbeaterSorry, accidentally hit send01:06
eggbeater*downloaded them and everything01:06
eggbeaterWhen it boots up, it goes to the bash shell and it says that there's nothing inside /sbin/init. I can't run apt because it won't connect to the network. I'm trying a 12.04 Live CD I have on hand to see if I can install init through it. So far it doesn't seem like it'll finish booting the Live CD anytime soon. Is there anything else I can try? I wan01:09
eggbeatert to avoid a full reinstallation as much as possible because of everything I have saved on here.01:09
sarnoldeggbeater: note that 12.04 LTS used a different init than 16.04 LTS01:12
sarnoldeggbeater: sometimes you can boot with init=/bin/bash and get a working shell there, that you can then use to repair what's left01:12
eggbeaterI was afraid so01:13
eggbeaterI will give that a try. Do I just type init=/bin/bash at the shell prompt I get?01:14
sarnoldoh hmm do you already have a shell?01:14
eggbeaterYes, it's only a # prompt. No tty or option to login01:15
sarnoldcan you run apt-get install -f  from there?01:16
sarnoldmaybe it'll pick up where it left off01:16
pavlushkacan I have the networkmanager indicator as an individual indicator? not bundled with indicator applet?01:17
eggbeatersarnold: I've tried that to no avail01:17
pavlushkaon ubuntu-mate01:17
sarnoldeggbeater: maybe you can bring up interfaces by hand? ifup on the nic names you've configured, see if the connection comes up01:18
sarnoldeggbeater: if you can do that then perhaps do-release-upgrade can restart?01:18
oerhekspavlushka, it hink it is part of indicator applet service?01:18
oerheksc/ i think01:19
eggbeatersarnold: it gives three errors regarding lock files and inability to write to files01:19
sarnoldeggbeater: which step?01:19
pavlushkaoerheks: me too but I am trying otherwise if possible01:20
eggbeatersarnold: I just tried ifup eth0 and it also cannot open lockfile /run/network/ifstate.eth001:20
sarnoldpavlushka: I run i3wm so no idea what the 'usual' thing is, but I use nm-applet to get a little networkmanager interface of some sort01:20
eggbeatersorry, the first error I mentioned was with apt-get install -f01:20
sarnoldeggbeater: hmm. is anything mounted on /run ?01:21
eggbeatersarnold: Yes. initramfs and udev01:21
ecovhow stable is 20.04 beta for everyone01:22
sarnoldhrm, on booted systems it's usually tmpfs01:22
sarnoldecov: pretty mixed01:22
ecovi need to install a distro on my lady's laptop and would feel silly installing 19.10 or whatever with a week left for LTS release01:23
ecovits all intel, older thinkpad01:23
ecovdrivers shouldnt be an issue01:23
Bashing-om!18.04 | ecov01:24
ubottuecov: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) is the 28th release of Ubuntu and the current LTS release. Download at https://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes01:24
sarnoldecov: probably better to stick to 18.04 at the moment01:24
eggbeatersarnold: should I try burning a 16.04 live CD and getting the init from that?01:24
oerhekssarnold +101:25
sarnoldeggbeater: another option is to grab the systemd packages from launchpad or a mirror directly, and skip the live cd https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/1866161201:27
sarnoldeggbeater: though perhaps a livecd would be helpful, I have no idea if there's an easy way to do an upgrade of a system while booted to a live cd, I haven't spent much time with those01:28
eggbeatersarnold: Awesome. silly question...how would I install the packages from launchpad?01:28
sarnoldeggbeater: download them to a usb stick or similar, then dpkg -i on the things; you may need to grab more and more packages by hand if you go down this route, to satisfy dependencies, I'm not sure how far that has to go01:29
alloyhowdy... anyone got a good link for setting up a network shared scanner in ubuntu?  every time I search for it I either get something old or more often something on nmap (Network Scanner lol)01:31

mpoletiekOkay, I got a weird one. GCP Ubuntu VM with Apache2+OpenSSL. Everything works fine until DHCP lease is renewed, then HTTPS sites timeout during SSL handshake. HTTP sites work just fine. Wait 30 minutes and the DHCP lease renews again. When that happens the HTTPS sites come back. Wait 30 minutes and DHCP lease renews again, HTTPS sites down, wait 30 and back...01:42
mpoletiek `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd` brings it back, but then it goes down again during the next DHCP lease renewal01:42
mpoletiekat this point I'm about to append that command to the dhcp client script, but I don't really know where to begin there either01:43

pavlushkaoerheks: ok, there is no otherwise for Network-Manager, where should I place the feature request, can you tell me?01:50
pavlushkasarnold: there is netspeed-monitor but I prefer the networkmanager indicator individually from the indicators set to be ablle to switch between network with a mouse click coz on a 12.5 inch display panel, i have little room for indicator on the panel bar01:54

Robert1111Greetings, I am having trouble with current Ubuntu.  After install and update bash will not work.  I type bash xyz... and it just drops down to another $ without running the bash script.  Any ideas why?02:27
oerheksis that script available in your %path?02:29
Robert1111yes I am in the tmp directory02:30
Robert1111I downloaded anaconda....sh to that directory and tried to run it with bash02:30
exit70hey02:30
oerheksand is that xyz is yopur /tmp/  available for your user, or just root?02:30
oerheks-p02:31
exit70so ubuntu tend to keep two kernels version for now on 18.04 it is 5.3.0-45-generic and 5.3.0-46-generic02:31
Robert1111I downloaded it myself and my user and I can see it02:31
exit70if i run `dkms status --all`02:31
oerheksexit70 all linux versions keep 2 kernels installed02:31
exit70i get `nvidia, 440.82, 5.3.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed`02:31
exit70so `5.3.0-45-generic` does get the nvidia modules?02:32
exit70*does not*02:32
oerheksRobert1111, 'can see it' does not mean executable by your user, ls -la gives permissions02:32
exit70oerheks, fun fact arch only keeps one by default ...02:33
oerheksexit70,  you just installed, so the first kernel got no dkms installed for nvidia, likely02:33
Robert1111-rw-r--r--  1 root   root        0 Apr 13 19:34 Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh02:33
oerheksarch does keep 2 kernels too, not sure what your source is..02:33
exit70can i manually request a dkms install?02:33
oerheksRosee, no x for execute..02:33
monhi. is there any tools to scan website and detects if there is any spelling error?02:34
oerheksRobert1111 *02:34
moni am not able to find one02:34
exit70oerheks, source is my arch box, when pacman updates linux package and it overwrites old kernel. it does have a fallback option though02:35
Robert1111so do I need to change the .sh file to allow execute?02:37
oerhekschmod +654 /path/to/file >> https://askubuntu.com/questions/484718/how-to-make-a-file-executable02:38
oerheksthe 777 is not advisable, it gives permission to all.02:39
exit70so the solution for my question is `sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 440.82 -k 5.3.0-45-generic`02:39
Robert1111ok so embarassingly I finally decided to vi the file and it is empty.  Now I crawl back under a rock.  OUCH!02:47

Rob41Is a (sh) script my only solution? No command can perform that task?03:18
NettyDallntI have ubando 16.04 with rhythmbox it rip and produce my beats quickly but do u think can of compressed air ors maybe a air compressor on cd drive make it produce my beats faster? soz in advance03:19

NettyDallntOkokok03:21
daxNettyDallnt: hi, please stop trolling in my technical support channel and find something better to do with your time, thanks03:21
Rob41WD40 would help if your car's exhaust pipe would boot the os.03:22
tonytlol03:22
NettyDallntHi, i'm using google translate. I was wondering if there was a way to overclock my cd drive to produce the highest of quality of beats like how a cd says 32x but i need 100x because i'm a truuer. Also are you mr. ubando @ dax? Thanks rob, my teacher.03:23
oerheksthere is no overclocking, it is not a chip;03:24

fightthewalrusHello, I've had a problem recently that the filesystem randomly becomes read-only during use, resulting in me not being able to save anything to disk or load new programs. Usually a full system crash follows, with me having to hard reset since `shutdown` is not available.05:00
fightthewalrusI'm wondering if this means I have a hardware problem in my HDD (possible, though I haven't checked), or if there's any software-side solution I can try?05:00

ali1234how do i fix it when my ethernet card is renamed due to predictable interface names?11:56
ali1234this unanswered question from three years ago describes my problem rather well: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1181416/ethernet-not-working-after-removing-gpu11:58
ali1234*6 months not three years11:59
ioriaali1234, do you see the device in lspci -nnk ?12:03
ali1234yes12:06
ioriaali1234,  can yo upaste the output ?12:06
ali1234no because i have no networking12:07
ali1234not that it will help in any way12:07
ali1234the problem is that the interface name changed12:07
ali1234it used to be called enp2s0 and now it is called enp4s012:07
ali1234this happened because i plugged in a pci express card12:07
ioriaali1234,  have you tried to change the pci slot ?12:08
ali1234the ethernet port is on board but of course it is connected to the pci express bus too12:08
ioriaah, i see12:08
ali1234further more this board only has one pci express slot so my choices are plug something in to it, or dont12:08
ali1234anyway, all i need to know is how to reconfigure networking on ubuntu server so that it runs dhcp on the correct interface12:09
ioriaali1234, i suggest you to find a network  adapter so you can connect and paste some infos12:10
ali1234what kind of infos?12:11
ioriaali1234,  unless the problem is in the route, i'd say :lspci, the kernel boot parameter, the netplan config, if you're using NM, ip a, ip route , etc. etc12:13
ali1234did you even read what i wrote above?12:13
ali1234the problem is that the ethernet interface name changed12:14
ali1234i just need to know how to reconfigure the software so that it uses the new name12:14
ioriaali1234, ok, use a kernel parameter - net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=012:14
ali1234that will cause the ethernet device to be named eth0 which is also not equal to enp2s0, therefore it will not work12:15
ioriaali1234, ok, no other idea, sorry gl12:15
ali1234i need to know how to reconfigure the ubuntu server network configuration *properly* when an interface name changes12:15
ali1234okay i found it. the configurations are in /etc/netplan now12:19
clamiaxHi12:20
clamiaxI'm trying to install Ubuntu mini on a Huawei Matebook D 15 but the wireless card is not detected. It is a Realtek 8822CE which is not available during the installation process. Too bad this laptop has no ethernet card, is there a way to install the relevant driver during the installation process? Thanks in advance for any help12:21
clamiaxI'm still googling a lot but no results yet12:22
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: To my knowledge, there is no way to activate a driver using the mini installer disk12:23
ioriaclamiax, very few wifi devices are supported in the mini.iso ; oprions are : use the server ed , use an usb adapter12:23
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: I'm pretty sure you're right. Thanks!12:26
clamiaxioria: can I check the supported cards before downloading the server ISO?12:26
clamiaxI fear the Realtek 8822CE is not officially supported at all12:26
ioriaclamiax, afair, it should be included in the 5.3 kernel (not sure)12:28
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: It would appear to have support, though only 2 machines have submitted a profile with that card installed and detected. It is unknown if those machines required installation after the instal completed12:31
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:10ec-c822-103c-85f712:32
pragmaticenigmaSupport for that card is available in kernel version 5.2 and newer12:32
BluesKajHowdy folks12:33
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: looks like there is an entry for your particular brand as well: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:10ec-c822-1058-1e2512:33
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: this is a good news. So it would works with a mini.iso having linux-5.2, am I right?12:34
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: If the mini.iso was built using the 5.2 or later kernel, it would appear to support that card. I don't know what kernel the mini.iso image has though12:36
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: actually eoan mini.is has 5.3.0-18 (which doesn't works)12:37
ioriaclamiax, the mini.iso kernel is (doh)  mini ; at the end of  the installation it will download the full kernel12:39

pragmaticenigmaclamiax: which desktop GUI are you targeting?13:26
clamiaxdwm13:26
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: I might suggesting trying the Live disk for Lubuntu or Xubuntu. They are the lightest DE's of the desktop installers, and use lightdm as their graphical login managers. I think they'd be the most universal to getting you started with your Desktop install. I also have a feeling that they might have the needed support for your Wifi card (though I can't promise that as the current trend isn't encouraging)13:28

oerheks"accidentally removed snap directory" .. interesting..14:34
pragmaticenigmaparak0vsky: you might be able to get it back by starting with "sudo apt-get --reinstall install snapd"14:34

oerheks~/Snap  i guess?14:50
parak0vskyno sir it was something in var folder i believe but i might be wrong it was long time ago14:51
kostkonparak0vsky, have you tried running or installing other snap apps? you could also try reinstalling that specific one14:52
parak0vskyyes any app the same ploblem14:52
pragmaticenigmaparak0vsky: i'm not having much luck and finding documentation on how to restore a snap installation. #snappy might be a resource you should check out15:10
clamiaxSorry guys, does it is meaningless that networkctl show wlp2s0? Is it a good news maybe?15:12
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: That would mean that a network device was found and is available15:12
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: under the SETUP column i get "unmanaged". Indeed the installation dialog don't show any network card. Can I do something that you are aware?15:13
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: which installer are you using?15:15
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: Ubuntu server installer15:15
clamiaxalso ip link show prints the wlp2s015:16
clamiaxI wonder if it's the bluetooth card :\15:16
pragmaticenigmaoh... I suppose that's possible15:16
clamiax:(15:16
pragmaticenigmai don't see my BT listed when I do ip link15:17
pragmaticenigmaat least i don't think that is the BT device15:17
ioriaclamiax, have you installed a DE over the server setup ?15:18
ash_worksiI am looking at a php docker container which will be using a mailhog container; for apt-get it uses the `--no-install-recommends` option... why would you do this?15:18
ash_worksi(the packages are ca-certificates, curl and git)15:19
clamiaxioria: I didn't installed anything, I'm stuck on the network configuration15:19
oerheksash_worksi, try without --no-install-recommends..? the diff would be your answer.15:21
ioriaclamiax, ok, but the server install  does not depend on the network (like mini.iso)15:21
ioriaclamiax, you can install it offline15:22
clamiaxioria: I won't clear the partition if I'm not sure it will works properly because I eventually return back the laptop to the store15:23
ioriai see15:23
ash_worksioerheks: I don't know that I am wise enough to understand the difference without explaination really; to me, you install something and voila. So installing something with a flag is just another `voila`. I would imagine that it would maybe install the latest dev release or something; in which case I know to interpret that as `voila w/ potential bugs`15:24
myphshi, adding a custom application to the dash adds a new icon when launched. how do i prevent this?15:24
ioriaclamiax, i think  you can open a shell, and run lspci -nnk15:24
oerheksash_worksi,  try the -d option, dry run15:25
ash_worksibut it just says ca-certificates git curl without specifying a specific version, so I would imagine the default would be the greatest release supported in the channel15:25
oerheksi think it might pull in a desktop or worse..15:25
ash_worksioerheks: "pull in a desktop"?15:26
oerheksash_worksi,  dunno, you tell us?15:26
ioriamyphs, you mean that the Icon directive in your .desktop file is not honored ?15:27
clamiaxioria: I did and the device is there15:27
oerheksdocker containers is not really supported here, you might want to reask the maintainer?15:27
ioriaclamiax,  can we see it ?15:27
myphsioria, no, if i launch it i'll get a second icon for the application in the dash15:27
clamiaxioria: not easy, I can maybe take a photo with the smartphone15:28
ash_worksifor curl, it's the same output during the dry-run15:29
ioriamyphs, but the icon is the same, right ?15:29
ash_worksigit is about 10 MB cheaper with the flag15:29
myphsioria, that depends on the application, but yes. i think it has something to do with the wm class attribute15:30
ash_worksiokay I see what it does15:30
ash_worksithanks oerheks15:30
oerhekshave fun!15:32
ioriamyphs, remove the icon from the launcher, open Activities , type the app name, right click on it and Add to Favorites; if it does not work, your .desktop has something wrong in it15:32
clamiaxioria: https://i.imgur.com/kmqJ3IF.jpg15:34
ioriaclamiax, looks like its detected and the module is loaded15:35
clamiaxioria: it doesn't works though15:36
myphsioria, yes, you we're right and i was, too; the StartupWMClass wasn't set and without it doesn't know what window the icon belongs to. thanks!15:37
ioriamyphs, no problem15:37
myphsioria: oh, but now i see something: the icon doesn't change dynamically. do you know a solution to that?15:41
ioriamyphs, what you mean 'dynamically' ?15:42
myphsioria: i run qtox. it changes the color e.g.: when my status is set to "available" it's green, when i'm afk it yellow. if i add it to the favorites it's static with the default icon15:43
ioriamyphs, i think that is a configuration setting15:46
ioriamyphs, i mean, the launcher does not know where to find the other icons15:49
ldshHi, when I load "sudo modprobe -v it87 force_id=0x8628" it works fine (I see the sensors of my motherboard), but nothing happens if I put "it87 force_id=0x8628" in "/etc/modules". Any idea? I checked in "/etc/modprobe.d/" and I only see it87_wd that is backlisted (and commenting it do not help).15:51
ldshI don't even see errors linked to it87 in dmesg (maybe I should filter with another keyword?)15:52
myphsioria: hm. when i remove the .desktop file and launch it from the terminal the status is visible in the dash15:52
=== mateen1 is now known as mateen
ioriamyphs, where is  located the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications ?15:56
clamiaxAlso I don't understand how connection is supposed to be established without wpa_supplicant (which don't looks installed)15:57
clamiaxIs it possible that my wifi card is working perfectly but Ubuntu Server does not support installation via wireles only?15:58
myphsioria: yes, exactly15:59
kostkonmyphs, those are the icons set internally by the app's ui toolkit. You could try locating them in the filesystem if they exist. As I see it you are essentially overriding them with your own icon through its .desktop file15:59
myphskostkon: that seems to be a bad idea, since the gnome dash always needs some time to refresh the icons. if not added via .desktop it's instantly16:09
ioriamyphs, how did you install it ? sudo apt install qtox ? or from flatpak, git, etc. etc .16:13
myphsioria: sudo apt install qtox16:14
ioriamyphs, try to copy the .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications16:17
myphsioria: it doesn't make a difference16:22
ioriamyphs,  use this https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/io.github.qtox.qTox.desktop    (in .local/share/applications)16:23

edf_anything wrong with this awk?16:29
edf_it doesnt run16:30
myphsioria: ah, yes, but now i have two icons in the dash again. one is the default icon and one with running application and the status, but the second one is not the one in the favorites16:30
myphsioria: that's why i added "StartupWMClass=qtox" in the first place16:30
ioriayes16:31
ioriamyphs, laste idea, you backup the version in /usr/shate/applications and maybe restart gnome-shell16:32
myphsioria: already tried that. i feel like the gnome devs forgot that such things exist. anyways. thanks for your help. i appreciate it16:35
ioriamyphs, no noblem; if can't live with that, make the Dock invisible and install another launcher (like plank)16:36

Sven_vBusing bionic and fdisk from util-linux 2.31.1, I tried to created a small partition at the end of the disk, but I can't get it to extend it beyond sector 781 422 591. It says the disk has 781 422 768 sectors, so I'd expect the last sector's ID should be n-1 = 781 422 767. am I right with that? how can I make my partition extend to the very last sector?17:33
Sven_vBthose last few bytes are the one that I'd like to easily backup and restore, so making them a partition would make that job way easier.17:34
vimartHi17:34
ioriapunkgeek, maybe ubuntu-vg is not correct17:35
pizzaburgerHi, I'm having issues with printing, Ubuntu 19.10. On Devices > Printers, I try to add my HP LazerJet but it finds some random "CUPS-BRF-Printer: one.17:36
Sven_vBpizzaburger, for HP LaserJets I ususally just use generic PostScript Level 6 and it works.17:39
oerheks 781 422 591. It says the disk has 781 422 768 sectors..17:40
punkgeekHow can I get th VG name in this command? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c3xbrKBsry/17:40
oerhekswhat you see, is not sectors, but cache memory, 4mb, 8mb, 16mb or something17:40
punkgeekonly vg name which in here called ubuntu-vg17:40
ioriapunkgeek, cd /dev/mapper ; ls -b17:41
punkgeekioria: How can I use sed or grep in vgs command?17:43
Sven_vBoerheks, well, I can dump and write it with lde (linux disk editor), so whatever storage technology it uses, I'd like to create a block device that refers to those bytes. I was thinking of a loop device as last resort, but I'm still optimistic there may be a way to use a logical partition. (it's MBR with EBR for Win8 compat)17:43
Sven_vBoerheks, oh did you mean I should change the display unit? I'll try that.17:44
oerheksSven_vB, good luck, i tried to explain that is seems to be cache. maybe you can write in cache, not sure17:45
Sven_vBoerheks, if it were cache, should it lose its data after a few seconds of switching off the disk's power?17:48
oerheksyes, it should clear.17:49
oerheksor be filled with other data..17:50
luna-Any Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Women Meetings tonight?17:50
Sven_vBin case it helps, smartmonctl says "User Capacity:    400,088,457,216 bytes [400 GB]¶ Sector Size:      512 bytes logical/physical", that divides to 781422768 sectors as well.17:50
Sven_vBoerheks, thanks, I'll try how persistent it behaves.17:50
clamiaxIn case you're interested it works with Ubuntu live17:52
clamiax(yes, I'm still playing around)17:53
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: Thought it might... did you do the lubuntu or xubuntu route then?17:55
clamiaxpragmaticenigma: I'm currently using the standard Ubuntu distribution (minimal installation). Once everything worked I see what will be next steps. I will likely go with lubuntu17:58
Sven_vBoerheks, my data survived 2 minutes w/o power. I think that's a good enough storage mechanism to expose it as a block device. :)18:00
clamiaxI'm glad I hI'm glad I didn't even accept the windows license18:03
clamiaxSorry for the typo18:03
pragmaticenigmaclamiax: while it's a personal preference of what someone chooses to use as an OS, it's better to stick to more neutral statements here. There is the #ubuntu-offtopic channel where many of us are also located, and is open to expressing your feelings about different operating systems and experiences. Come join us in #ubuntu-offtopic18:05

miguel11this might be a better place to ask, i need some help to force a certain daemon (or user if it makes it easier) through a vpn on tun0. any idea about this?18:35
lordcirthmiguel11, you want a separate routing table for a user?18:35
lordcirthMight be easiest to containerize the daemon?18:35
miguel11lordcirth, i'm trying to get it up and running through docker.18:36
miguel11but when the vpn link is down, the daemon routes "normally" through eth0 and i don't want that to happen.18:36
lordcirthDelete eth0? :P18:37
miguel11then there's no connectivity for openvpn to create the tunnel18:37
sarnoldmiguel11: one common approach is to configure the daemon to bind to the specific IP address you've got on the vpn18:37
lordcirth^18:37
miguel11sarnold, sure, but the ip you get from the vpn is dynamic and very likely to change.18:38
sarnoldmiguel11: oh, that's unfortunate18:38
lordcirthmiguel11, can you configure the daemon to bind to an interface? Some support that18:38
lordcirthThen you could specify tun018:38
miguel11yes, i thought it'd be oviously to bind to the tun0 itself, but the daemon doesn't support that. must be an ip.18:38
miguel11s/obviously/obvious18:39
lordcirthWhat's the daemon?18:39
sarnoldyou might be able to do soemthing like this https://stgraber.org/2014/09/26/vpn-in-containers/18:39
miguel11lordcirth, deluged, though any other decent bittorrent client with remote client (preferably not merely web gui) should work.18:40
Sven_vBwould anyone else have an idea how I can make the last few bytes of my harddisk a partition? the last sector I can use in fdisk (on bionic, from util-linux 2.31.1) is #781422591 with "Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes", so the next sector would start at byte offset (781422591 + 1) * 512 = 400088367104. dd can read 90112 more bytes, which would be (90112 / 512) = 176 more sectors. I'm using MBR with 2 primary18:41
Sven_vBpartitions and one EBR, so I'm thinking of making a tiny primary partition #4 as far as fdisk allows, then hex-edit its size.18:41
blackswan"Failed to update apt cache: E:The repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco Release' no longer has a Release file." - is this just me?18:41
lordcirthSven_vB, why do you want to do that?18:42
miguel11lordcirth, any ideas then?18:42
Sven_vBlordcirth, I want to backup the data in those last few bytes, replace them, and maybe restore it later.18:42
Sven_vBlordcirth, having them be a partition would make it a lot easier to write them18:42
lordcirthmiguel11, you could bind the docker eth0 to tun0 on another container? Or delete the default route on eth0 and only have a route to the VPN servers.18:43
Sven_vBmiguel11, if it's a network problem in docker and your guest system can reach the docker host, a proxy might help as well.18:44
Sven_vBon the other hand that error message sounds more like 40418:44
blackswanoh. they just moved disco to old-releases, apparently?18:45
lordcirth!disco18:46
ubottuUbuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html18:46
miguel11lordcirth, i don't think running two containers is a reasonable solution to the problem.18:47
Sven_vBI guess I'll just use a loop device instead of a partition then.18:47
blackswanyeah, i know it isn't supported, but my sources.list file was working yesterday and i wasn't sure what had happened.18:48
sarnoldbut nothing has changed -- you're not getting updates yesterday, you're not getting updates today :)18:48
