[00:00] I;m on 18.04 [00:16] is it possible to connect to `openvpn server` without being root ? [00:17] this feels like something networkmanager can probably do [00:28] i've been using unbound with dnscrypt-proxy - they don't do any name resolution after a reboot until i run resolvconf -u from the cli (ubuntu 20.04) [00:29] why isn't that done automajically? [00:50] How would I make anything added to my samba server on 20.04 have the permissions I am adding from MacOX Windows and ubuntu itself [01:00] bray90820, that should be setting acls on the files, it should just work if you have samba configured to use the connected user's user and group [01:01] the permisssions set from windows at least [01:01] It doesn't [01:02] I coped a file that was 777 from the share to MacOS deleted it on the share then copied it back its whatever number this is [01:02] drwxr-xr-x [01:03] And nobody is the owner [01:03] doug16k: [01:03] you probably have a mask setup [01:03] drwxr-xr-x is 755 iirc [01:04] if you want to allow people to make those you need to set the mask to 777 [01:04] by default it prevents people making excessively permissive mode bits [01:04] How would I change teh mask [01:04] world write is basically crazy [01:04] Because I think I already have to be honest [01:05] yeah why would you want that [01:05] in your samba.conf, under [your-share-name-here] [01:05] having everything 777 is a terrible idea [01:05] It's my own personal server so it's fine [01:05] I am not saying make anything 777 [01:05] basically lets anyone and anything edit or delete your files [01:05] he wants 777 mask so if a user commands it, it obeys [01:05] but why [01:06] bad idea I agree [01:06] I am the only one using it so I don't care [01:06] but why do you need it [01:06] what's the goal here [01:06] I need help with something. [01:06] My load average is only 1.5 or so across the board. [01:07] memory is showing 6/7.61GB [01:07] swap 1.8/8GB [01:07] I already have the line "create mask = 0777" is what I have in my samba conf so shouldn't it make everything 777? [01:07] but I get this constant stuttering and it's driving me insane [01:07] cluelessperson_: are you seriously 1.8 gigabytes into swap? [01:08] sarnold, apparently? [01:08] ouch [01:08] cluelessperson_: run vmstat 1 from a terminal and keep on eye on the si and so columns -- are those a steady series of zeroes, or are they non-zero? [01:08] is there some way to tell linux to terminate programs if you reach 6/7GB of mem used? [01:08] that might come in handy [01:08] doug16k: I already have the line "create mask = 0777" is what I have in my samba conf so shouldn't it make everything 777? [01:09] bray90820, that means, take the mode that the program gave to their call to open, and mask it with 777.. if the program commanded to create a file with 755 then 755 & 777 is still 755 [01:09] johnjay, yes [01:09] sarnold, currently 0s [01:09] sometimes spike a bit [01:09] bray90820, that is for forcing bits to *zero*, not for forcing anything to 1 [01:09] cluelessperson_: when it's non-zero, that shows swap being saved to disk (so, swap out) or swap being read back from disk (si, swap in) [01:09] So what should I do then? [01:09] cluelessperson_: you want those numbers to be zeros, always [01:10] sarnold, I'm confused becaues in htop, nothing seems to killing me, so I don't know what to fix [01:10] bray90820: why do you need 777 [01:10] sarnold, it's not always 0 [01:10] sarnold, it's usually 0 [01:10] cluelessperson_: eight gigs of memory is apparently not enough for everything you're trying to do [01:10] Ben64: Does it matter why I want 777? [01:10] yes [01:11] Why? [01:11] maybe there is a better solution for the actual issue you're trying to solve [01:11] sarnold, _ALL_ I have open are irc, webstorm, 15 chromium tabs, and a terminal [01:11] cluelessperson_: can you elaborate on 'stuttering' [01:12] I want everything to have the same permissions of 777 when I add it to my server I am the only one using it so having everything 777 doesn't mattter [01:12] bray90820, are you really trying to grant a certain user or group permissions that override the user/group/mode ? [01:12] not really an answer to my question [01:12] Ben64, especially while using chrome, every few seconds, especially while opening new tabs, my inteface keeps freezing up, and CPU is hitting 100% on every single thread. [01:12] cluelessperson_: neat!!! [01:12] i've been having a very similar thing [01:13] bray90820, it's called "user/permission squash" [01:13] What I want is to have everything be readable writeable and executable from everywhere [01:13] cluelessperson_: what cpu, gpu, and are you on chrome or chromium? [01:13] bray90820, you can make that happen with acls [01:14] How? [01:14] doug16k: [01:14] you could set a default acl on all the directories in that directory tree, that grant you rwx on everything [01:14] cluelessperson_: also what ubuntu version [01:14] What do you mean? [01:14] Ben64, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz [01:15] sarnold, so is ram really the problem here? :/ [01:15] and it's an NVME SSD, I'd think swap would not be an issue either. [01:15] doubt it, i think whatever you're experiencing is what i've been seeing [01:15] it just started for me recently [01:17] * cluelessperson_ tries firefox [01:17] cluelessperson_: D: [01:18] i was trying to figure this out with you [01:18] Ben64, I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. === zhanx_ is now known as zhanx [01:18] what ubuntu version, gpu, and chrome or chromium [01:19] Ben64, Version 81.0.4044.122 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest23312 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:19] snap... hrm... [01:20] that's like... 1/6th of what I asked [01:21] Ben64, I'm compiling [01:21] ok [01:21] cluelessperson_: it's a real possibility -- check smem output on your system to try to get a feeling for how much each process is consuming of your memory === Newfangled is now known as JazzGuru [01:22] sarnold: I have 32GB and been seeing the same behavior on my system [01:23] Ben64: heh, are you also running four times as much stuff? :) heh [01:23] what's that command to upload all your hardware/software versioning and such? [01:23] support folks use sosreport, but .. it's *huge*. way too much. [01:23] sarnold: not quite [01:24] inxi -Fxxxrzc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:24] then share link [01:24] cluelessperson_: ^^^ [01:24] I *think* I solved it today, but not sure yet [01:26] mesaboogie, thanks [01:26] Ben64, https://termbin.com/sqq3 [01:26] Ben64: during the focal dev cycle, I saw some really inexplicable swap use, and stalls that could last a minute or so.. but the kernel I'm running now (I think it's focal's release kernel) has been rock solid for me [01:28] I'd heard of similar issues in eoan, I wonder if the fixes have made it to eoan or not [01:28] cluelessperson_: ok so the only thing we have in common is chrome [01:28] i'd guess it's a chrome bug, so far everything seems ok since I turned off hardware acceleration, maybe give that a shot [01:29] also, are you running discord? that uses the chromium engine and also has hardware acceleration as an option, turned that off, and so far everything has been smooth today [01:31] How can i tell if ive installed the am using the correct nvidia drivers? Under a normal 20.04 install all works without issue, but i have to do a debootstrap install because im using ZFS encrypted on root, and when i installed 'apt install ubuntu-desktop' the boot freezes unless i add 'nosetmode' to my kernel boot options, i assume this is because [01:31] i am using the open source drivers even though i have installed the nvidia proprietary drivers [01:31] Ben64: I would much prefer to make everything 777 then to do something else if you can help me with that [01:31] s/installed the am/installed an am/ [01:32] Synx_hm: 'lshw -c video' check the driver= part to see currently running driver for the card [01:33] Ben64, thanks do you know what package lshw is part of? i dont seem to have it [01:34] Synx_hm: someone reported good success with this method last week https://linsomniac.gitlab.io/post/2020-04-09-ubuntu-2004-encrypted-zfs/ [01:34] Ben64, well it's chrome tabs that are taking up all the cpu [01:34] Synx_hm: it looks way less annoying that the debootstrap approach :) [01:35] Synx_hm: (though this user did have trouble when the password of choice had bash metachars in it :) [01:35] cluelessperson_: yes, i had the same experience [01:35] Synx_hm: sudo apt install lshw :) [01:36] Synx_hm: lspci -v also incldues eg "Kernel driver in use:" but that doesn't describe the xorg drivers.. [01:38] Ben64; forgive my stupidity tried 'apt install lshw' right away but without sudo DOH [01:39] driver=nouveau [01:39] any idea if thats the opensource driver? [01:40] perhaps i should google ha [01:40] yup appears to be the opensource driver version [01:41] Ben64, how di dyou solve it? [01:41] turned off hw acceleration on both chome and discord [01:41] I haven't been able to get the cpu usage to spike since then, but i'm not 100% sure it's fixed [01:41] it's at the very least better than it was [01:42] sarnold, ill check out that guide thanks for the heads up, i mostly used the zfs on linux github wiki for how to do it minus encryption, just had to fix an error in their initramfs update bit [01:42] Synx_hm: indeed [01:42] Synx_hm: the wiki guide is wonderful but it took me all night and I made three or four mistakes that took me hours to find and fix :) [01:43] sarnold; amen!!! i botched the efi partition and put it where i had intended to put my swap partition boy was that confusing to sort out [01:44] when i finally fixed it and rebooted to find my efi partition gone i realized what i had done [01:45] I screwed up , vs . in my crypttab. I think. HOURS. [01:45] ahh you using luks crypt i assume? [01:45] yeah [01:45] i decided to go with native zfs encryption since the SIMD fixes should be in the 20.04 kernel backports [01:45] oh nice [01:46] I did my install on disco, I think, so zfs encryption wasn't yet an option. I'm slightly thinking of redoing my install to get the zfs native encryption instead, but a reinstall is SO MUCH work.. [01:46] we'll see how nice it is when i dont f' some other part of this setup haha [01:46] hehe [01:47] Ben64, thanks for the help! [01:53] who can help my mind with scanning and repairing an external exfat drive for errors [01:53] so ive been duckduckgoing and just cant get this figured correctly. scanning a usb hard drive for errors and repairing them when the fs is exfat... [01:55] there's a good chance the only reasonable fsck for exfat is on a windows system [01:55] if you're doing file recovery, I've had good luck with autopsy / sleuthkit a decade ago; it might be able to work with exfat too [01:56] never done that on linux with exfat fuse and utils. and is not in the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [01:57] https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/fsck.exfat.8.html [01:57] Note that it cannot repair corrupted FS, [01:57] it just reports found errors. [01:59] exfat driver git says it can fix some things since v1.3.0 Sept 2018 [01:59] !info exfat-utils [01:59] yes, i read that as limited. [01:59] exfat-utils (source: exfat-utils): utilities to create, check, label and dump exFAT filesystem. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-1 (eoan), package size 39 kB, installed size 227 kB [02:00] oerheks: Maybe FreeDOS [02:00] o_O [02:01] that would surprise me greatly :) [02:06] thanks, i cant wait to just get that exfat out of my life [02:07] i was trying to fix it in a windows in virtualbox but that was just problematic with getting the drive mounted and last attempt at scanning was like 370 hours.. that cannot be correct [02:09] if the drive itself is bad, it might be spending forever trying to read and re-read sectors over and over again [02:10] Ben64, oh that's what I did [02:10] just now [02:10] and it seems fixed [02:11] Ben64,cluelessperson_, woo :) wonderful [02:12] yay [02:12] also, boo bug [02:13] man no verbose mode for exfatfsck [02:13] so it sits there and i dont know what its doing... [02:13] exfatfsck checks an exFAT file system for errors. It can repair some of them. [02:15] you could run vmstat 1 to see how much reads and writes are going on; or try biotop-bpfcc https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/biotop_example.txt to see which processes are doing io [02:16] thanks [02:18] am using Ubuntu server 20.04, I've installed ExpressVPN on it but the SSH session got disconnect once i connect to VPN, how can i allow SSH while server connected to VPN and persist it if i reboot the server? [02:19] ahmedamerican: that sounds like your vpn routes supercede the route you were using for ssh [02:19] it just finished scanning a 2TB drive with 650GB full and said no errors but a windows program said there was... [02:19] ahmedamerican: there's a few approaches: (a) if the ssh connection shouldn't be using the VPN, then reconfigure the VPN so it doesn't publish that wide a route, and use a narrower route [02:20] ahmedamerican: (b) replace ssh with mosh, which can probably cope, because it's using disconnected UDP packets and both endpoints try to contact the other endpoint often -- and will CHANGE endpoints, if necessary, to stay attached [02:21] Hello, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu and I am trying to run down a few log errors 1)Couldn't parse dbx signatures: -74 2) usb 3-3.4: 2:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x1 tried google search but did not find any recent reference due to release of 20.04 [02:21] sarnold alright, i will have a look into that now [02:22] Thank you [02:29] Ben64, any idea why x isn't taking my driver update, lshw still shows the old driver, the xorg.conf does not however and ive rebooted [02:29] if its better to just ask another question i can do that too [02:33] oh do i need to be running a hwe kernel [02:33] Synx_hm: maybe ask the channel, i'm gonna be in and out tonight [02:33] rgr thanks [02:33] but see if you can load the module yourself, "sudo modprobe nvidia" [03:02] Does anybody here have a Cisco account and would be willing to help me get some firmware files? [03:04] agris: That's not an Ubuntu support issue. Maybe try ##hardware channel [03:26] Hello, i have a package that requires qt4 gui... i tried installing libqtgui4, but i guess it is no longer in the package manager... how can i get this installed. [03:28] rdh: what release of Ubuntu? [03:29] 20.04 [03:32] rdh: looks like you might want qt4-x11 [03:32] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/qt4-x11 [03:32] yea i do not have that in my package list [03:33] I do not have any of the packages in that list actually... [03:34] Oh ya... at the bottom says there is no release for it [03:34] oh, my bad [03:34] Sorry, I'm not sure [03:35] maybe i can use another tree [03:35] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/4:4.8.7+dfsg-7ubuntu3 [03:36] maybe i can just manually install [03:42] ya, looks like ill build it from source [03:52] Hello. I'm hoping someone can assist. I was upgrading Ubuntu Studio 19.10 to 20.04 via bash. Toward the end, on a file compare I clumsily bumped a wrong key and lost the upgrade process from the screen. I have the PID (shows locked), how can I restore it to the screen or finish it? I don't have screen, retty or reptyr installed. Can anyone [03:52] help? Thanks. [03:56] Would someone with a cisco account mind providing some firmware files for me? [04:10] Having some issues with the nvidia-driver for X. I've installed the latest driver, and blacklisted the old opensource modules and updated initramfs but nothing i do seems to keep X from using the nouveau drivers [04:23] I'll be honest Ubuntu 20.04 has been the buggy release I have ever dealt with: Bugs noticed: deluge is broken to TLS 1.1 use and Python 3.8 incompatibility, sudo causes errors under LXC containers, ubuntu also has host binding issues under lxc containers. Strange to have so many bugs in an LTS [04:23] *buggiest [04:24] Haxxa, are those issues reported on a Bug tracker? Devs can only fix reported bugs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) [04:25] guiverc I fixed them myself they are reported upstream [04:25] Thank you for reporting them ! [04:25] Like newest Deluge app works using dev branch and disabling TLS 1.1 [04:26] TLS requirement is interesting as it breaks deluge and error message is less thean helpful [04:27] I don't know how Ubuntu dev works but are packages adding to repo early if issue is breaking application entirely === user217_ is now known as user217 [04:28] how to save that ip rule and routes https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xW733kBYCv/ to /etc/iptables/rules.v4 ? i tried to put the rules before commit word but it's not make any effect to the system [04:29] Haxxa: every Os has bugs worked on, also keep in mind its yourself that has chosen to install 20.04 early instead of waiting for the LTS way when 20.04.1 comes out [04:30] Haxxa, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule shows schedule and various freeze dates, bug reports (launchpad for ubuntu bugs) are used to make devs aware; but deluge for example is 'universe' so someone needs to be told to grab & implement patch via bug report; or request to upgrade package generally [04:40] If I have a separate /home partition, is it safe to run the ubuntu 18.04 installer to downgrade from 20.04? As in, reinstall the OS on / but leave /home alone. [04:40] Trying to assist someone that has Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed and they get ... The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/iaz/battery-status/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file. [04:41] What should the next steps be here?

[04:48] They said they didn't install it, so I'm not sure where they got it from [04:48] But yeah, that's some old software [04:51] r2b2nz, Appreciate the assistance! Thanks for your help [04:51] For ubuntu compatibility, Which cheapest graphics card have multi display heads and can have multiseat? [05:04] Ben64, no lag still. :D [05:34] I have ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when I run do-release-upgrade it says there are no LTS versions I can upgrade to?

I want it to be encrypted too with the same password. BUT, I want Ubuntu to ask me for the password only once - during computer launching. It is possible? === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [06:51] ttytwister: I'm pretty sure I've done that in the past but can't remember the details. You'll need to understand LUKS and the cryptsetup command (and probably LVM too) [07:05] is server 20.04 not available for upgrading 18.04 yet? [07:06] enkindle, the 18.04 -> 20.04 upgrade isn't offered for LTS users until after 20.04.1 is released, as LTS users usually want stability. (it's not ISO release either, but a few days usually after) [07:09] enkindle, you can force it if you want to be cutting edge and maybe break stuff [07:11] ooh, i thought i read something that it was released, my bad [07:11] dont manage your stuff stoned, it...it's bad [07:11] lol its all good [07:17] enkindle: a good aproach is a spare box to test the next LTS versions new features, and keep your other machines stable the LTS way [07:19] aye, i was gonna update a secondary, but ill wait for a full release [07:19] yeah upgrade in production is great how guiverc explained [07:20] lol if you knew how much we do in production that we shouldnt...ugh [07:25] ttytwister: Fairly easy: You can have up to 8 password slots in a LUKS header. Put the same password as for your first LUKS device in one slot. Then create a random key file, use it for a second slot, put it somewhere on your main file system and edit /etc/crypttab accordingly.

I can reproduce the behavior by manually suspending the laptop while "lock on suspend" and "automatically lock the screen" parameters are on, however when they're off, manual suspending and resuming works correctly, but automatic suspend still results in the computer freezing [08:08] I don't really know how to start troubleshooting the issue since when it freezes, the screen is off [08:09] feisar: ubuntu server? [08:10] lotuspsychje: yeah [08:10] feisar: try #ubuntu-server [08:13] solarliner: what you can do is leave a: journalctl -f open and see what happens, and share a pastebin of your dmesg here to the volunteers [08:13] I wouldn't be able to see that when the freeze happens though [08:14] solarliner: see also /var/crash logs there's always something to trace somewhere [08:16] Hm, I am seeing appimagelauncherd crashing a lot though [08:17] solarliner: installed manual from git? [08:17] No, using the bionic deb from AppImageLauncher [08:21] hm, so it's not an issue related to 20.04 https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/304 [08:21] Anyway I'll disable it and see if that solves the issue (unlikely I think, but worth a shot) [08:23] solarliner: could you share your dmesg please? suspend issues can also be acpi related [08:25] Not sure how readable it's going to be, but here goes: https://pastebin.com/F2BC4wED [08:27] Hi, is there an official Ubuntu documentation page that tells that upgrading from previous LTS should wait for the point release (3 months after "final" release)? It seems to be common belief but I don't see a page in the wiki about that. PointRelease is a dead link on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule [08:28] I believe that graphical update manager doesn't make the upgrade but I can't check myself [08:29] !acpi | solarliner [08:29] solarliner: to debug ACPI issues on ubuntu make sure your bios is up to date and follow the procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [08:30] solarliner: another idea is to test suspend on a new user just as a test [08:31] Not sure how I can update my BIOS, actually haven't searched for it, but I can definitely try a new user now [08:31] brb [08:37] lotuspsychje: I can definitely suspend/resume with another user, thanks for the idea! So it seems it's related to my user configuration then [08:37] That makes the AppImage daemon issue the most likely cause [08:56] what is the directory of trash? === NineKeys5 is now known as NineKeys [09:04] where is the dictionary.txt file on ununtu? [09:04] the checkpatch.pl is asking for it under /usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt [09:08] mra90, is codespell installed? [09:10] zhanx, not sure [09:10] probably not [09:10] well sudo apt install codespell and it should install all this https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/all/codespell/filelist [09:10] but how is that this works on windows but doesn't on ubuntu [09:11] two different systems [09:11] way way different [09:11] but the same screept [09:11] script sory [09:11] same front end to you yes [09:11] I mean checkpatch.pl is what it is no matter the OS [09:11] read the file in an editor and say thatt [09:11] that* [09:12] okay it probably distinguish between different systems [09:13] Hi, I'm trying to boot 20.04 USB but it's crashing laptop (turning it off) === William is now known as Guest22388 [09:14] It gets to screen where it says something about checking disk, then dies, is this a known bug? === Guest22388 is now known as Conna [09:14] ren0v0, efi boot? [09:15] my laptop has 18.04 on it, and its in legacy mode, secure boot is off [09:15] what make the bootable usb? [09:15] made/make/how [09:15] sandisk [09:15] ubuntu startup disk creator [09:16] try unetbootin [09:16] ok sure [09:16] used it planty of times before but also used this default ubuntu one [09:16] same here but never once got a startup disk creator to work here [09:17] :D [09:17] ok brb [09:17] waiting the 3d printer so will be here [09:27] zhanx, it says "missing operating system, selected boot device failed" ? [09:28] micro sd card? [09:28] nope [09:28] let me try once more formatting it first [09:28] gparted wipe it [09:29] yea i am [09:29] msdos ext4 [09:29] no [09:29] fat32 [09:29] whole thing [09:30] still think this is 20.04 issue [09:30] it was loading and crashed, and i've done this 100 times before [09:30] might ne [09:30] be [09:31] ren0v0, I'd trying booting the thumb-drive on another box (and only try ubuntu), if it fails on the other box too (validation) I'd assume it was a bad write, or flawed ISO (did you verify ISO checksum)? [09:31] s/I'd/I'd be/ ^ [09:31] guiverc, i've not even got to the "install or try" screen yet! [09:32] aka guiverc verify checksum? [09:33] guiverc, md5 checks out [09:34] md5sum xxx [09:34] ya [09:34] ea28c4fd933be55f9f01a5fa9e868490 *ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso [09:34] yes, if the second box does exactly the same thing - I'd bet the thumb-drive or ISO write to thumb-drive failed.. [09:34] guiverc, well this will be 4th write to USB drive, so lets see [09:34] if not i'll grab another [09:35] if you boot the thumb-drive on the other box and it's flawless; it's something specific to the box you want to install it on [09:35] yea i get that but i can't shutdown this box right now [09:35] i have another laptop actually so can try that, but will rule out the USB drive first [09:35] can not shutdown? [09:35] nope :) [09:36] What software is responsible for displaying upgrade details in Ubuntu terminal? [09:36] no need to go into the reason, i just can't right now [09:36] cut down the power [09:36] CrazySam, software-properties-common ? [09:37] Continue [yN] Details [d] [09:38] This is the prompt I get. [09:38] for what ? [09:38] Upgrade [09:38] i'm not sure what the question is [09:38] do-release-upgrade [09:38] correct, if you want to upgrade press y :) [09:38] d for details [09:38] Well I'm curious how it opens this new detail page. [09:39] it'll be in terminal the output [09:39] I press d and some new page opens up. [09:39] I have to press q to quit. [09:39] Is that Nano? [09:39] then? [09:39] part of software-properties i would assume [09:39] OK [09:39] no idea what you are on about tbh :D does it matter? [09:40] It does not. Just curious how it is able to do what it does. :) [09:40] Perhaps it was less, the pager? [09:40] could be ncurses, i've not seen the screen ebfore [09:40] Does the Terminal itself have a text editor? [09:40] there are lots of text editors [09:40] no,that just a press [09:40] use q to quit [09:40]
