Xeteenadrian15: let me try that00:22
Xeteenadrian15: fstab doesnt have a line for this, here's the output from `mount` which I'm guessing is not of much help https://pastebin.com/0MwmpRe700:26
adrian15Xeteen: Which line from there you want to be converted into a mount command?00:28
Xeteenthe last one00:28
Xeteenadrian15: no worries, forget about it, it won't work00:36
XeteenI mean I put the path in Nautilus' "+ Other Locations" and it works00:37
XeteenI add the very same path in fstab and I get the same error: No such file or directory00:37
Xeteenso there's a problem with the path00:37
Xeteenfuck it00:37
=== Brasil is now known as Perfec7
adrian15Xeteen: If you add the path as a mount point it needs to be created and empty before using it.00:47

ZelozAnyone run into the issue where it says (can't create directory, permission denied) but are in the root group as well as others?  I was able to create directories without issue on the older Ubuntu 14.04 server but the issue arose after compressing/downloading the directory and then extracting it on the new server running Ubuntu 18.04.301:00
sarnoldapparmor can confine root processes; check dmesg for DENIED messages, or check audit logs if you have them enabled, /var/log/audit/audit.log01:01
ZelozI do not appear to have an audit directory under log01:02
CarlFK"root group"  - other than a group called root, not sure what that does for you01:04
Zelozyeah, the group called "root"01:05
ZelozI am able to change the ownership and attributes of the files/folders, just cannot create them01:05
CarlFKsudo touch x ... that work or touch: cannot touch 'x': Permission denied01:07
ZelozI did sudo touch [directory] and it just returned to prompt01:09
Zelozno error though01:09
Jordan_UZeloz: The output of "getfacl /path/to/directory" and the exact command you're using to make the directory, would be helpful to understanding.01:10
ZelozI'm using Webmin for the creation of the directories under normal use01:10
Jordan_UZeloz: Can you reproduce the problem with a normal linux command, and pastebin that command and its output?01:11
Zelozif I do mkdir test, it just says permission denied (using terminal)01:12
Zelozsudo of course works, but I can't do that in Webmin01:13
sarnoldZeloz: ah, so you've got a webmin running, and you're trying to do some tar unpacking or something similar through webmin, and you're getting errors?01:17
Zelozcorrect, I did a tar extract from the other servers folder01:18
sarnoldZeloz: are you getting errors that prevent unpacking at all? or are you getting errors that the unpacked tarball has different username or group and the unpacking process can't change the ownershipt o match?01:18
Zelozthere were no errors that I'm aware of01:18
sarnoldunprivileged users can't change file ownership01:18
sarnoldso if the tarball has files owned by multiple owners, and you want them to have multiple owners on the destination system, you'll need to unpack the tarball with root01:18
ZelozI can change the ownership and permissions, just not add any folder/files in01:18
sarnoldwho owns the directory that you're trying to write into? what are the permissions on that directory?01:19
Zeloz77501:19
ZelozI made it recursive, that and the owner is my user now as well01:19
sarnoldand what uid is webmin running as?01:20
Zelozmy user01:20
sarnoldare all directories above the directory in question also readable and executable by the uid webmin is runnign as?01:21
ZelozI was able to put a file/folder in one of the above directories without issue01:22
ZelozI think it was the base directory that was copied01:23
Zelozthat I can add files/folders01:23
Zelozbut nothing below that01:23

Jordan_UZeloz: And what is your username?01:36
Zelozit's all lowercase, single word, it's part of my name so yeah01:37
Jordan_UZeloz: And you're in the group "solder"?01:42
Zelozcorrect01:43
Jordan_UZeloz: Can you double check that by running "groups"?01:43
=== gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly
Zelozit shows as users root and sudo01:45
sarnold'groups' just reports what the current process has, which may be different than the process that's trying to do the unpacking01:45
pavlosZeloz: try the command "id" it should list all the groups the user belongs to01:46
Zelozuid=1002(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(root),27(sudo)01:46
pavlosZeloz: username does not belong to solder group so username cannot write to mods (which is 775)01:49
Zelozhmm, so is Webmin not showing correctly the group membership settings I have put in?01:50
Jordan_U!webmin | Zeloz01:51
ubottuZeloz: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.01:51
Zelozis there alternatives?  Besides CLI01:51
pavlosZeloz: maybe you needed to logout/login from webmin ?? ... you can add group solder to username with, sudo usermod -a -G solder username01:53
Zeloztried to add my username to that group and run id again to no avail01:56
pavlosZeloz: you'd need to pop a new term, then run id01:56
ZelozI'll give that a shot01:57
Zelozuid=1002(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(root),1(daemon),27(sudo)                   ,33(www-data),37(operator),1001(minecraft),1002(solder),1003(mc                   1),1004(mc2),1005(ftp1)01:58
pavlosZeloz: you have it, 100201:58
pavlosZeloz: now can you write something into mods/ ?01:59
Zelozlooks like?  Let me try non CLI01:59
Zeloznope, let me reboot the system02:00

Zelozhmm, not sure if it would be easy, I had an older system running webmin02:26
Zelozthat I compressed folders/files02:26

FrankyGovheya06:59
FrankyGovDear all07:00
FrankyGovYesterday I installed XFCE4 and I think that caused issues with the Ubuntu's profile07:00
FrankyGovToday once booted up the system, after the login, I saw a black screen and the system failed showing the login form again07:01
FrankyGovI went on the command line through CTRL + ALT + F4. I removed XFCE4 and rebooted07:01
FrankyGovSame problem. At that point I thought to create another user first. In fact, it's working07:02
tatertotsFrankyGov: all sorts of odd observations can be made when installing an additional DE...ideally you should fresh install a distro that uses your preferred DE by default07:02
tatertots...you live and learn07:03
FrankyGovtatertots, I am a noob, in reality I was looking for XFCE4 terminal only....07:03
FrankyGovI have a question since I am trying to recover all my files from the other profile07:03
FrankyGovI created this user account from command line using #bash adduser username etc07:04
FrankyGovI wonder if I can change the permits for the other user > /home/previous-user07:05

CQ2FrankyGov, there are two parts to the graphical system... the display manager, which is where you log in (lightdm for example) and the desktop itself (xfce4). Figure out what you have installed and the apt install --reinstall them, sometimest that helps07:17
CQ2...since you seem to have a problem sith the desktop itself, on the desktop manager at login, try to switch to a different desktop07:18
FrankyGovCQ2, I did not need XFCE4. I assume that the problem was caused by XFCE4. Since that's the closest thing related to the desktop manager07:18
FrankyGovI removed both components: XFCE4 and XFCE4-terminal. I got the same result. Right now I am in Ubuntu through another user07:19
CQ2no, xfce4 is the desktop itself, that manages your windows when working. The esktop manager manages your login and starts your desktop07:19

CQ2when you are at the login prompt, see what desktop options you have that you can log in to07:21

FrankyGovI cannot copy those files since I do not have permission08:18
FrankyGovIf I have a user with sudo privileges08:18
FrankyGovcan I change the ownership of those files?08:19
zuwukoyeah raid mirror. I started from scratch. started blank, and have been copying files over. but when files are done, drive doesnt idle . it finally idled, thanks.08:23
tomreynFrankyGov: you shouldn't change the ownership of the files you're backing up08:23
FrankyGovtomreyn, I am trying to copy the folders to an external drives, but I cannot copy certain folders and files08:24
tomreynFrankyGov: about reading the the files, the easiest approach is to backup as the root user.08:25
tomreynFrankyGov: the better but more complicated way is to add a restricted backup user which is part of the group of the user whose files you'll backup. and to ensure that all files and directories of the user whose files you want to backup are both owned by this users' group, and are group readable.08:27
tomreynFrankyGov: example: you have /home/franky and in there all files are owned by user franky and group franky. now you add a new system user frankybackup, use "adduser frankybackup franky" to add the new user to the "franky" group, so that it can read all files owned by the "franky" group, like those in /home/franky.08:29
tomreynnow frankybackup can read all the files that are group readable in /home/franky08:29
tomreynthe next difficult part is writing the files to the external drive, and doing so without loosing information on who owned them originally.08:31
tomreynFrankyGov: the easiest way to get this (writing the files to the external storage) right is using tar for the backup, it will save the user and group names those files belonged to originally, as well as the permissions set on them.08:33
FrankyGovtomreyn, I just added the user.08:33
FrankyGovHow can I try to copy recursively the folder?08:33
FrankyGovI wanted to check if the process skips any folder or file08:33
tomreyni'd   tar czf /where/to/backup/to/backup.tar.gz /home/franky/08:34
tomreynif you just want to test the tar operation (to see read errors) but not actually store the files then you could do     tar cf /dev/null /home/franky/     instead08:36

(but that's not an OS issue then obviously.) if you can bring those NICs up without a bonding configuration then it's unlikely to be a firmware issue, though.10:45

FreddyHI get this [ - ]  elasticsearch14:44

valentinis there anywhere I can download 20.04 RC? according to their calendar it should have been published 2 days ago15:46
BarnabasDKprobably delayed due to covid15:46
BarnabasDKlike anything else15:47
oerheksvalentin, sure, you can download it for weeks, i would suggest download daily build15:47
oerhekshttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/15:47
oerheksand join #ubuntu+1 for support15:47
oerheksBarnabasDK, this is not the fun channel15:48
BarnabasDKoerheks, wasnt trying to be funny15:49
i7chhei people. i now that my next question is not exactly strictly related to ubuntu, but here it goes: is anyone willing to walk me through configuring some shortcut key for zsh/ohmyzsh ?15:49
oerheksactually, there is no RC15:49
BarnabasDKif you are exactly on date with all of this - its just impressive15:50
oerheks"During the week leading up to the final release, the images produced are all considered release candidates"15:57
oerheksso, i am wrong and correct ..sort of15:58
valentin thanks oerheks, but can those images be considered of RC quality given no RC published? I'd like to install early and not have any leftovers when I update to release16:03
ioriavalentin, you 're looking for the beta release ?16:03
oerhekswhen released, you will have the final versions of all packages, no problem16:03
kk4ewtvalentin; you will still have zero day updates regardless16:04
BushmasterHi fox, I am seeking some clarification... its about Linux Server, lets say, Ubuntu server, first question, once you install Ubuntu Server OS in a server machine, do you then install Ubuntu in all your workstation computers?16:05
ioriavalentin, the beta is here : http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/16:05
BarnabasDKBushmaster, there should be no requirement immediately16:06
valentinthanks, I was actually trying to hold off from installing the beta. is the diff between beta and RC just fixes at this stage?16:06
BarnabasDKupdate your servers freely of your clients16:06
BarnabasDKBushmaster, but read the release notes16:06
monkwitdafunkhey is mozilla seamonkey in the respositories?16:06
Bushmasterwhat I am inquiring is once Ubuntu server OS is installed in server machine, and if I like to set up 50 workstation what OS I need to install in those workstation?16:08
BarnabasDKBushmaster, depends entirely on your software needs16:08
BarnabasDKcould be windows, could be linux something, or otherwise - more info is needed I suppose16:09
oerhekschoose some desktop flavor, or miniiso to choose from them all ( + services like ssh)16:12
BushmasterBarnabasDK,  lets say, 50 workstation, I have 100 students, they will use those 50 workstations for school work, mainly word processing, spreadsheet, photoshop, some programming in Python, some HTML, all basic works, I want to set up Linux based server with a server machine, so lets say I install Ubuntu Server OS in server machine and then all those 50 machines what I need to install? Ubuntu Desktop or Windows 10?16:13
oerheksnot an ubuntu issue, choose and have fun16:13
BarnabasDKBushmaster, I think it all depends on you choice of sw for the students16:21
BarnabasDKless on your choice os OS16:21
Bushmasterwhat is sw BarnabasDK16:23
BarnabasDKwhat office suite do you consider on linux?16:28
BarnabasDKLibreOffice16:28

xXBadDreamXxi would like 64 gigs of ddr4 ram...i have 3.5016:44
kenperkinsin theory, with 64gb of ram I should never swap16:45
kenperkinsbut should I force that with a setting? or trust the system with the default of 6016:45
xXBadDreamXxdont force it16:46
akemIf you plan to hibernate the machine you still need 64 GB swap :P16:46
BarnabasDKakem, different scenario but yes16:46
kenperkinshm I can't remember if it sleeps or hibernates, but I do one of them yes16:46

donpdonp|zhmm those appear to be only the install isos and such, not the deb repo20:27
TJ-donpdonp|z: on install the primary archives would be added to sources.list20:28
donpdonp|zwhile i cant seem to actually find the deb files on old-releases, 'apt update' is able to find them so im happy.20:31

Kristine68hi my new laptop can't detect external monitor with Ubuntu 18.01 lts. Can anybody help me?20:33
pmartTJ-: what is the problem exactly? i do see the debug symbols being loaded for /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd, that means they are somehow incomplete?20:34
pmart(like maybe contain only file offsets and not actual source lines)20:35
TJ-pmart: your error does seem to suggest that symbol, or entire source file reference, is missing20:35
tomreynKristine68: Ubuntu 18.01 lts does not exist, nor did it.    lsb_release -ds     will report what you're running20:37

tomreynwell, with the right driver you should be able to manage the extra screen using the nvidia software for this purpose, "nvidia settings". that's pretty much all i know, though.20:47

tomreynapart form some seconds drift the "date" command and "timedatectl" command provided you with the correct time, in the UTC timezone20:59
pavlosCyberiaAxis: timezonectl list-timezones ... find the nearest to kolkata, then timezonectl set-timezone Asia/somewhere20:59
tomreynthe drift is due to your system not reaching ntp servers, i would think20:59
CyberiaAxisokay21:00

CyberiaAxispavlos, its stuck on something21:13
tomreynnot having ntpd installed won't be why your RTC was off, more likely you have a firewall blocking traffic to udp port 12321:14

syntaxfreehi guys.21:41
syntaxfreeso "xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness $val" sets my screen brightness to $val.21:42
syntaxfreebut how do I *query* the current brightness value?21:42
syntaxfree(so I can make a couple of scripts to brighten up and down)21:42
pavlossyntaxfree: xrandr --verbose | grep Brightness21:48
syntaxfreeI was angry that Ubuntu was eating away battery life and as it appears the main driver of everything battery life is screen brightness.21:48
syntaxfreeI wonder what performs visually better (in backlit displays) with low brightness, dark on white or white on black.21:49
syntaxfree(perform visually better = on usability/eye strain metrics)21:49
TJ-syntaxfree:  "grep . /sys/class/backlight/*/* "21:49
