[00:04] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/66JwZtfWFQ/ [00:05] from /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:05] it's just eh default [00:05] that is, the default smb.conf [00:06] oh [00:06] previously i has some folder int there, but `sudo testparm smb.conf` showed that error message so i restore the conf to the default [00:06] and i still get the same message [00:07] ? [00:08] when i use Celluloid sometimes the video doesnt start and i have to press PLAY, how do i make videos autoplay? i've look online for autoplay option for mpv but cannot find anything [00:10] trying to share from ubuntu to windows, via samba. i got it all set up, the only problem is.. when i connect from windows it says it doesnt have permission to access it. What would a root command be to give a specified user read and write access to a given folder? [00:13] you can do it from the file browser [00:20] Hello. I need some install assistance for Ubuntu 20.04. I added a 1TB nvme drive to my system. I want to install Ubuntu there and only use 400GB so I can move my Windows 10 install off a 500GB SSD onto the rest of the new drive. I do have 18.04 on another drive as well but I don't want to touch it. The automated install is not giving me an option [00:20] to only use part of the NVME any help would be appreciated === revosftw2 is now known as revosftw === SunWuKung5 is now known as SunWuKung [00:37] Is this the proper channel to request a little bit of help? [00:37] metaphz, yep [00:38] Fantastic! [00:38] Ok, so I have recently installed Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to know how to add my secondary "DATA" drive to the "File Browser". It was running the XFS filesystem. I figured out how to get the drive to be read in Gparted, but not sure how to go about "viewing" the contents of the drive. [00:40] Sounds like an entry is needed in fstab(1) ? [00:40] MarkB2, that is above my head if it is needed. [00:40] I can Google fstab and go look through documentation. [00:41] metaphz: That's a guess on my part.. it's the way older Unix-like systems worked. [00:41] I recall fstab, but I haven't been a really "Active" Linux user since Redhat 5.1. [00:42] When you installed 20.04, did the installer ask if any other drives should be mounted at boot? [00:42] No it did not. [00:42] metaphz: Also take a look at mount(1) . [00:42] Maybe because I needed to add XFS support to the system? [00:42] MarkB2, will do. Not sure what you have in parenthesis. [00:43] ./mnt shows nothing [00:43] Now you're above MY head. :-) I don't know how to add filesystem support other than perhaps as a loadable kernel module. [00:43] It should be /dev/sdb maybe...I don't know. [00:43] Try lsblk and see if it shows up. [00:43] MarkB2, great suggestion! [00:44] MarkB2, yes it sure does! /dev/sdb1 [00:44] If you were to do it manually then something like sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt (I think.. can't remember the order of args to mount(1) ). [00:45] does it show up in the "disks" program? [00:45] So mount the drive first, then maybe the file browser can read it. [00:45] And now I can't remember if that allows a "normal" user to RW to the drive. [00:45] qid|ydl, yes it does, it shows up in "GParted" and it shows up now as /dev/sdb1 [00:45] Yah, if it's "visible" to the system, I'd think nautilus would see it. [00:45] If it makes it easier, it does not have to be XFS filesystem. I was just messing around with it in Linux Mint. [00:45] the disks program is probably the gui way to manage this stuff and choose where you want it to be mounted [00:46] qid|ydl, ok launched the disk program. I will take a look at it. [00:46] qid|yd1: I was fumbling around. Great to have someone knowing what goes. Thanks. [00:46] Ok yes it sure does. [00:46] It says XFS -- Not Mounted. [00:47] I'm on 19.10 so I don't know if the UI has changed but there's a button with gears to access the options [00:47] qid|ydl, Yes sir, "Edit Mount Options" ? [00:47] yep [00:47] Ok, it say's Mount at System Startup and Show in User interface. However I am not seeing it...Hmmm... [00:48] what mount point is it set to? [00:48] It has a ridiculous Mount Point /mnt/993b12de-eeee [00:48] qid|yd1: Does he need to be sudo'ed to root to get options set correctly ? === SunWuKung8 is now known as SunWuKung [00:48] I would expect the disks application to prompt for a password to elevate if necessary [00:48] That sounds like some kind of disk ID it's getting from the drive itself. [00:48] Yeah that is what I am thinking [00:48] if you look in that folder do you see the data you expect? [00:48] It did have me SUDO when I launched the disk app [00:48] Let me take a peak qid|ydl [00:49] No [00:49] when I look at /mnt nothing is there [00:49] how about ls -la /mnt [00:50] MarkB2, yes I got some output but I am not sure what it means [00:50] total 10 [00:50] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 Apr 23 02:32 . [00:50] drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 25 May 3 18:20 .. [00:50] Oh wait. that weird name might mean when it IS mounted. [00:51] well, the mount point doesn't exist, I don't know if there's something magical that's supposed to create it but normally the folder has to already exist [00:51] Is there a button that says, "Mount this" ? Might be a right-click on the entry. [00:51] MarkB2, I am sorry, where should I look for that? In the file browser? [00:52] In the disk program? [00:52] lol [00:52] (sorry). [00:52] I think so...the "Play" button [00:52] I think I just did it let me look [00:52] lmfao [00:52] Yeah that did it [00:52] haha [00:52] Aw you've gotta be kidding. [00:52] I don't like the name and all that. Maybe I can edit it. [00:52] "Play" ??? [00:53] Yeah, like the play button on a VCR [00:53] Sorry showing my age. [00:53] Me, too. [00:53] Play Button to MOUNT. STOP button to unmount lol [00:53] lmfao [00:53] How in the world did someone transmogrify "Mount" into "Play". [00:53] Well I think this GUI was created to dumb down the enviroment [00:54] However I have tried several other DE and this is the only one I care for at the moment. [00:54] I did like XFCE back in the day. [00:54] Nominally I would attributing the "dumb down" to the author.. but I didn't write it and, well, there's always "poetic license". [00:54] !ot | metaphz MarkB2 [00:54] metaphz MarkB2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:55] MarkB2, surely, I suppose you are correct. I didn't correlate a play button with mounting a drive. Who am I to judge though. [00:55] Let's have real talk. Is swap space even needed with modern computers? [00:56] I .. didn't think my comment warranted being chastised. I stand corrected. [00:56] metaphz MarkB2 stop it both please, this channel is for ubuntu related questions only [00:56] MarkB2, I wasn't chastising you lol. I was agreeing with you. [01:00] metaphz: swap seems to be useful primarily as a backing store for memory pages that can't be unloaded (e.g. a file that was on disk but has been deleted) but aren't being used [01:02] one suggestion I've heard is that if the system you're dealing with can just be terminated and restarted (e.g. containers) then swap is probably bad, but if it's something you care about being able to recover (e.g. desktop) then swap might save you in a bad spot === zbenjamin is now known as Guest92291 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:16] how can i create a desktop notification with an action button? i know there is "zenity" and "notify-send" but neither of them have the option for a button from what i can find [02:16] i've almost managed to do it manually with gdbus send, there's even a clickable button, i just cannot figure out how to make gdbus wait and listen for the reply [02:31] 20.04 It froze while using Zoom. I tried all f2 but I didn't know of control alt f2. So I hard rebooted. -- following is not causation of course. I have no volume. I had the volume off. Then I turned it on. Nothing This is on YouTube. I tried Vimeo nothing.soudcloud nothing. The alert sounds in system settings,nothing. Hey what do I do? [03:19] i have a dell inspiron 3847 desktop, and recently installed an nvida P400 graphics card. When using the nouveau graphics, the bootup process freezes, that is, i see the twirly circle but no login screen. However, the system is booted, as I can ssh into it. if I use hte proprietary nvidia drivers, bootup is fine. with nouveau, /var/log shows two xorg log files, as if the login screen is on a secondary screen. any idea? [03:24] roler: /var/log/ - Xorg.0.log, Xorg.0.log.old, Xorg.1.log . where Xorg.0.log is the current boot log. [03:27] can someone help me with setting up a smaba share? if i create an entry such as [my_share] .. if i have valid users = unsername ... then i cannot connect to the share via my desktop client (nemo file browser) [03:27] Did you spell your username right? [03:28] but if i omit valid users ... then i can connect using any made up password [03:28] yes [03:28] Is it the name of a UNIX user account on the computer? [03:29] the connect dialog nem displays wants a workgroup and password ... the url i am using in the file browser is smb://username@ipaddress/my_share [03:29] yes [03:29] the name is a unix user name [03:30] i've also added sudo smbpasswd -a username [03:30] and provided a password [03:32] hrmmm [03:32] it's working suddenly [03:34] one thing i found to try with setting up samba shares is when i thought i had it working, unmount/log out of the samba share, log out/restart windows, and try again. [03:35] i thought i had it working, but then when i tried with a new computer to the local network, it didn't work. [03:51] How do I find out how long I have been connected to an access point for? [03:51] from the command line [03:51] hm [03:56] in Xubuntu focal, is there a way to have NetworkManager read the WiFi PSK from stdout of a script whenever it needs it, instead of storing it in a config file? [04:02] Hi! Anyone knows of a file recovery tool for BTRFS? [04:02] which 20.04 installation media should i use if i want ubuntu without any desktop environment? [04:03] bleb installation media? a 4gb usb clip drive will work just fine [04:03] i guess there's the server install image, but will i get wifi support with that? [04:04] bracham: sorry, i mean what image should i put on the medium [04:04] i think you may have to have a wired connection [04:04] for server [04:04] yeah [04:05] so should i just install regular ubuntu then manually uninstall gnome? [04:05] i'm no pro, but i would imagine so, even though that sounds like a pain in the butt [04:06] oi vey [04:07] !minimal | bleb But WIFI will have to be added. [04:07] bleb But WIFI will have to be added.: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:07] if you have time, i would try server first [04:09] Hi! Anyone knows of a file recovery tool for BTRFS? [04:09] there ya go. but yes, probably have to have a wired connection to start [04:11] I am running Lubuntu. I understand this is an ubuntu channel, but there is no reply on #lubuntu when I ask there. I have two monitors plugged into my lapyop, three displays. I extended the desktop. When I right click the desktop it tells me "Desktop manager is not active." Running 'sudo pcmanfm --desktop' Fixes it temporarily. Any idea what could have caused this, and how to fix it please? [04:15] Ascavasaion, the DM might have crashed because it was confused by the new screens. I'd try and search for errors in log files. [04:16] does the Ubuntu minimal CD have casper-rw ready, as in "just pass the persistence kernel option"? [04:17] Sven_vB: I have used it like this for months, it is a reasonably recent thing. [04:17] Ascavasaion, it's not unheard of software breaking due to updates, or in exotic cases even by date. [04:17] Sven_vB: Any suggestions? [04:18] Ascavasaion, just the default one: debug it. look for an error message and then try to fix it. [04:19] or of course hire someone to debug it for you. :) [04:20] if you need help debugging it yourself, tell us what part you're stuck on. [04:25] Sven_vB: It would seem this is beyond my expertise. [04:26] Ascavasaion, the part of looking for an error message? [04:26] Sven_vB: All of it [04:26] Would a sudo apt remove lxde and then an sudo apt install lxde word?? [04:27] Ascavasaion, in that case you could wait here and hope that someone who knows about Lubuntu and pcmanfm will wake up, see your question and guide you. maybe ask your question again every hour or so. [04:28] Sven_vB: Okay. Thank you :-( [04:29] I'd rather use "apt reinstall", and of course do that from a text shell. though my gut feeling is that it is not the cause of your problem. [04:33] Ascavasaion, I got disconnected, might have missed a message. anyway: you could also try asking your question in a forum, or maybe on AskUbuntu.com, in addition to here. [04:33] Sven_vB: Thank you. Like you say, I think it is something small. [04:33] Sven_vB: But alas, I have no clue. [04:34] Ascavasaion, a first step could be to study the user's manual of your display manager and desktop environment for what their log files are, then read the latest messages there. [04:36] Sven_vB: I hear you. Thank you. Might just have to reinstall absolutely everything from scratch. === anon is now known as Guest76518 === Guest76518 is now known as BigFatRetard [04:41] i was just going to say that's kinda pointless, but oh well === DalekSec is now known as WrathOfAchilles [04:48] well there's a slim chance of config error. [04:54] which of course could be fixed by starting from scratch again, but if it was an update that broke it, that won't help [05:05] seeing as i'm in here, i'll mention an issue i'm having. i have ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop, 18.04 on my headless server. i'm logged into the server via ftp from the laptop (nautilus), moving files around to sort them. occasionally i get an error "error while copying ***.

[10:25] oerheks: i am just doing some security researches [10:25] ok then [10:25] Thank You Very Much ubottu and oerheks . [10:26] kvm/virt-manager are good tools for that [10:27] does Ubuntu manpage get rid of all of the old versions ? [10:28] i can't find 16 [10:41] Howdy all [10:45] hey folks [10:46] when I run sudo apt update I run into 404s. what do I do best? this is a disco dingo docker image [10:48] disco ... time to create a new docker, disco is EOL, dead [10:48] !disco [10:48] Ubuntu 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.html [10:48] !eol | Yatekii [10:48] Yatekii: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [10:50] I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop which I'm using as a media player connected to my HDTV. I can disable the laptop screen via xrandr but anytime I turn off my TV it auto switches back to the laptop screen. I'd like to just always leave the laptop screen off. Anybody know how i can achieve this? [10:50] yeah I mean that's a reason to just kill repositories ... because ofc all the packages in it wont work anymore after the due date ... magically ... great ... [10:50] thanks for the quick answers =) [10:50] hi [10:51] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NGgg52p8vz/ [10:51] sudo apt-get -f install [10:52] line #35 and #36 are your concern, also #50 no space left on the device ?? [10:53] is it mounted read-only due to a dirty filesystem? [10:53] how can i delete unnecessary files? [10:54] that log gice the answer; autoremove [10:54] c/give [10:54] how ? [10:54] but you might have other issues, read obnly filesystem? [10:55] run a filecheck; fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdXY >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [10:55] I have no idea [10:55] fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdXY [10:55] you need to fill in XY, we don't know [10:56] 'mount' will tell more about partitions and how they are mounted [11:02] oerheks: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GMQ4v2CWQH/ [11:02] this my hdd [11:08] ubuntutr: so you either deleted some data just before you posted this, recovering ~3 GB space, or it's actually not lack of disk space but lack of inodes (run: df -hi) [11:09] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fcBdnx7WGx/ [11:09] you're out of inodes on the file system mounted at / [11:11] how can i empty ? [11:11] Can I see which file is using how much? ? [11:11] or app [11:11] not easily from what ii remember [11:12] i suggest you manually delete some old files you no longer need from /tmp/ or /var/tmp/ or /boot/ (such as old kernel images) [11:13] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NGgg52p8vz/ lists many old kernel images you can safely delete manually first, then later using apt [11:14] this tells you where inodes are being used: sudo find / -xdev -printf '%h\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 1 -nr [11:15] Is there anything funky with remote imap login to gmail that happened in the past couple of hours? I fetch my email from various gmail accounts to my local setup and now my Ruby script (that has been working flawlessly every minute for more than 10 years) return Net::IMAP::NoResponseError ( Invalid credentials (Failure)) on all accounts (and I can log in with those exact credentials via gmail in the browser) [11:15] Or is there something strange in Ubuntu that got triggered just now? [11:17] isene: google disabled 'less secure authentication' apparently. not an ubuntu issue. [11:23] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p8mTn3QxmF/ [11:24] what is this :/ [11:32] ubuntutr: after regaining some inodes, you can run sudo dpkg --configure -a [11:32] tomreyn: wtf? Any link on this and how to solve it for my script? [11:33] tomreyn: i use reboot [11:33] now not work vps [11:33] ubuntutr: "not work" how? [11:33] does not start [11:33] i use putty [11:34] ubuntutr: the error you shared doesn't match "does not start". [11:34] sorry start :) [11:34] because that's an apt error, not a "does not start" error [11:35] isene: maybe it's just a temporary outage on their end. gmail supports two different authentication methods, the proper imap / pop3 (in-protocol) authentication, which they call "less ecure apps", and their own web based authentication which they consider to be stronger and preferred. thunderbird supports both. your perl scripts probably don't. [11:36] Could not read "conf/opers.conf" [11:36] why doesn't he read this(er? [11:36] "less secure apps" [11:40] tomreyn: And now all of a sudden it works :-/ [11:40] How could changing world permissions to 0 for bin, etc and dev folders could crash the terminal? [11:41] isene: also still off topic [11:42] amts01: deleting everything on your disk might, too. why does this come as a surprise? [11:43] I changed only world permissions to dev, etc and bin to 0 and retained the rest [11:45] the files in /usr/bin are usually root:root owned. if you set the "other" bit to 0 then you prevent anyone but root from executing them [11:46] i assume (hope) you're not running your (graphical?) terminal as root, so it would be affected by this. [11:49] I thought it was sbin for root, yes I was running terminal in GUI as root and changed other perissions to 0 [11:50] I didn't change ownerships, I used chmod 750 and 770 for etc, dev and bin [11:51] for the most part, running graphical applications as root is not a good thing. [11:52] fixed [11:53] Is this a normal boot? My boot takes ~1 minute (on HDD) http://i.imgur.com/oGLN849.png [11:54] Hamilton: doesnt look to bad to me for a spinner [11:54] Hamilton: wich ubuntu release are you on? [11:54] 18.04 (Xubuntu + i3) [11:54] Was the terminal launched per ctrl+alt+T a graphical app and there is another nongraphical terminal somewhere? [11:55] !tty | amts01 [11:55] amts01: To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [11:55] lotuspsychje, dev-sda6 is for mounting the ubuntu partition right? === revosftw6 is now known as revosftw [11:56] Hamilton: what you can do is install preload, haveged, disable unwanted startup items and tweak unneeded systemd services [11:58] lotuspsychje, so its not normal... [11:58] Hamilton: thats not what i said no [11:58] tomreyn: Is there a way to get to root from a CD or USB installed app? [11:59] lotuspsychje, I'm not even using a DE...what unwanted process could be among them? apt-service and snapd is needed I think [11:59] I wouldn't ever think Ubuntu's design would be so defective [12:00] As for root there is a separate folder, so why not store anything related to root in it [12:02] amts01: that's not what i call defective. i think the problem here was introduced by a not sufficiently experienced user making changes. you can boot a different system, then become root there and mount the original installations' file system and apply changes as needed. [12:02] Hamilton: there are i3 lovers that install i3 with ubuntu server as base, maybe that will go smoother then xubuntu [12:03] lotuspsychje, well I use some xfce apps like thunar and I intend to use it as a backup DE if somehow something breaks or someone wants to use the machine [12:04] thats the users choice Hamilton [12:04] lotuspsychje, What does apt-service daily actually do? [12:05] *apt-daily-upgrade.service [12:05] This may apply, but if I as a regular user was using it from a user group why this registered in that PC user group is handled as "other" by bin? [12:06] amts01: because that's how the permissions system works: if you're not operating as a user owning or a member of the group owning the file, then you're "other" [12:08] Hamilton: pastebin: systemd-analyze critical-chain , please [12:09] amts01: getting back to your earlier statement / question: binaries in sbin directories are usually mean to be only run by the superuser (root), not by other users (but even there it's not likely that it's safe to withdraw the permissions of 'others'). however, those in 'bin' directories would usually need to be executable for others as well. [12:10] lotuspsychje, https://termbin.com/wh5o [12:11] I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop which I'm using as a media player connected to my HDTV. I can disable the laptop screen via xrandr but anytime I turn off my TV it auto switches back to the laptop screen. I'd like to just always leave the laptop screen off. Anybody know how i can achieve this? [12:12] Wescotte: a custom xorg.conf may work there [12:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [12:13] Hamilton: graphical target seems rather long load [12:13] Wescotte: this wiki page is very old, a lot has changed around X since, but way less in X itself.
