[01:12] sarnold: Yes, I have a wifi router between the two [01:13] Is that a setting or an undocumented feature [01:14] shinobi: it's usually marketed as a feature, one you can opt in to [01:14] hi, I was hoping someone might have a tip for ubuntu ignoring my lock-on-suspend prefs since upgrading to 20.04. I've set the 'Lock on suspend' preference in 'Settings > Privacy > Lock screen', and verified that `gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend` is true, but.. when I suspend my computer (closing the lid, or pressing the power button), the screen is not locked when I [01:14] resume. this is new since updating last month. any ideas?

PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied')" ... Any hints on how to diagnose? Or how to report this bug in the bug-reporting software? [08:10] I have two disks - one of them hdd the other ssd. On the hdd I used to have windows installed, so it has the old windows ntfs filesystem there. On the ssd I have Ubuntu installed. For some reason I had several partitions on this 256gb drive, the first was a small efi boot partition, the second and third were both 256gb partitions, but only the [08:10] third was the actual partition with the filesystem. When booting, I had to hit F12 and select the SSD drive - otherwise grub would load up (could not find a way to configure the bios to boot directly from the SSD - it would list several 'ubuntu' options, none of which worked, but not the SSD drive which is primary master). I was able to boot from [08:10] grub, by typing: 'linux (hd0,msdos5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb5' followed by: 'initrd (hd0,msdos5)/boot/initrd.img' and 'boot' [08:11] After booted into Ubuntu, I deleted what I though was a bad partition, the first 256gb partition of the SSD [08:11] now I can't boot to Ubuntu even by typing the above commands in grub rescue (normal grub does not load) [08:12] grub rescue complains: "error : no such device: ...UUID..." and "error : unknown filesystem."

"rehash: warning: skipping myca.pem,it does not contain exactly one certificate or CRL [08:33] " is that the problem? and what do I do to address it? [08:33] avri: yeah, do you have an old pastebin of your partition table or any fdisk/parted output? [08:33] nope :/ [08:34] avri: ok, you can install testdisk from the universe repo and it might be able to retrieve the lost partitions locations [08:34] sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install testdisk [08:39] ok - Analyze finds them [08:40] how can I view/edit a .pem file?

I know vi, but not nano [08:58] from like a decade ago when I used ubuntu === mateen1 is now known as mateen [08:59] but when I get the issue actually solved, i'll take your advice [08:59] already updated the "guide" [08:59] any suggestions as to how to proceed?

[12:25] you are using windows + ubuntu inside a virtualbox ? [12:26] and why the restore, did something went wrong, if so, what ? [12:27] what does : VBoxManage showhdinfo [12:27] does show ? [12:27] I boot to recovery at boot menu to run for a fix but all command I type is not found. (initramfs) /bin/sh: not found [12:28] Hello, is there some documentation specifying possible values for a preseed.cfg parameters? I need specifically "partman-auto/init_autimatically_partition" [12:30] well you can download gparted.iso and boot it in an additional VM and have the .iso as boot in CD + the hard-disk from your VM as disk so you can look inside [12:30] i would do that to make a backup to some USB key or something before doing anything else : start with a backup [12:30] GR1M0R4CL3 : I make it simple , I did a tar follow this instruction https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 and untar into a .vdi partition sda1.After that I run boot-repair on a live CD to fix the grub.But the result is UUID error Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init [12:32] the untar was done on the same vdi or in a new one in a separate virtualbox machine ? [12:33] do you have data inside that vdi you need to preserve ? [12:34] download the ubuntu .iso for livecd [12:34] select it as bootable iso for your virtualmachine and boot from the ISO === zenguy is now known as coffeeguy [12:35] once you are inside the LiveCD, a first step is (1) backup and (2) check he contents of the hard-disk (contents of the vdi) [12:35] especially, I'd start with a fsck on each partition to see if they have been unmounted properly or if any error is there [12:37] GR1M0R4CL3 : tar from old partition 12.04 , create a .vdi with partition table sda.Boot at live cd untar into sda1.Repair with boot-repair.Reboot and I get this problem [12:38] go have a look of what your vdi does contain using livecd [12:38] go check if you have a /sbin and if so, if it does contain the /sbin/init or not [12:38] just have a look inside without touching anything to see if the file is there, or not, and if the reported error message really tells us what's happening [12:38] i directly use ubuntu on machines so i am no expert on virtualbox :) [12:39] GR1M0R4CL3 : he .vdi sda1 partition contain /sbin/init [12:39] GR1M0R4CL3 : the .vdi sda1 partition contain /sbin/init [12:42] ok [12:42] / is mounted at boot [12:42] so i guess your / does not itself contain /sbin and /sbin is on a separate partition ? [12:43] we can reinstall it [12:43] we boot the livecd. mount in rw the partition in .vdi [12:44] drop a valid dns in /etc/resolv.conf [12:44] and then you use apt-get install init [12:44] followed by update-initramfs -u [12:46] i insist on doing a backup before trying anything.. [12:46] boot the livecd. mount your /dev/sda1 /mnt [12:46] chroot /mnt [12:46] GR1M0R4CL3 : I already tar it so it's already backup [12:47] you can drop the google dns in resolv in etch by doing : unlink /etc/resolv.conf && echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf [12:47] followed by re-installation of the init program : apt-get install init && update-initramfs -u [12:47] do not forget the chroot [12:48] GR1M0R4CL3: etch? [12:48] GR1M0R4CL3 : chroot ? not sudo ? [12:49] yup chroot [12:49] you will be already root or should be root once you booted the livecd [12:49] you remount as read-write the dev/sda1 by doing : mount -rw -o remount /dev/sda1 /mnt [12:50] if you properly attached the vdi as hard disk to a new virtualmachine booting the livecd this should give us write access to sda1 [12:50] before doing the mount in write mode, I would fsck the partition to check it [12:51] a fsck -N so it does nothing but report to us [12:51] GR1M0R4CL3 : chroot /mnt /dev/sda1 chroot: cannot change root directory to 'mnt' : operation not permitted [12:51] change to root [12:51] sudo su - [12:51] should do [12:52] sda1 is mounted as read only or write too ? [12:52] a mount | grep sda [12:52] should tell us /dev/sda1 is mounted, and you will have a rw after the first ( if write mode is enabled [12:53] on my system. dev/sda1 is /boot/efi and my / is mounted at /dev/sda5 [12:53] GR1M0R4CL3 : I already mention already untar the tar file into .vdi [12:54] ok [12:54] once root you do : chroot /mnt [12:54] GR1M0R4CL3 : Actually I am confuse , what should I do now ? [12:54] assuming the partition is mounted at /mnt [12:54] so /mnt becomes our new / and commands we will run will use /mnt as / [12:55] GR1M0R4CL3 : At live CD , I cam mount the partition other locations 46GB [12:55] yup mount the partition somewhere and chroot to it [12:55] by being root and using : chroot /where/you/mounted/the/partition [12:56] chroot will mask the livecd / and the mounted partition becomes our new / [12:56] so we can work inside of it without trying to touch the livecd part [12:57] GR1M0R4CL3 : done [12:57] how can i enable third party sources when doing a dist upgrade ? https://bpa.st/FYHQ [12:57] ok now we need internet access [12:58] unlink /etc/resolv.conf [12:58] GR1M0R4CL3 : root@ubuntu: /# [12:58] echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf [12:58] so we put google's dns as our dns to have apt-get work [12:59] GR1M0R4CL3: can you please address who you are speaking to by starting the line with the other persons nick?

I'd like to operate the right side normally with lightdm/xfce/xrandr, but have the left side be a virtual console that always runs my script. or run an X with xterm and my script. [13:00] nbusrone: once the 8.8.8.8 dns is installed, we will try to reinstall init using apt-get [13:00] ph88: see here: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-repositories/ [13:01] the idea is that the script shall not be interrupted by lightdm login/logout [13:06] GR1M0R4CL3 : It looks like things are different here , the resolv.conf is not in /etc/ but in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and /etc/init/resolvconf.conf .Most of the command you post not found.Is it due to different old distro file location ? [13:06] ph88: I might have misunderstood your question. During a release upgrade (which is not the same as a dist-upgrade) all 3rd party repos are disabled. Only after the release upgrade is finished you can re-enable 3rd party repos by editing the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [13:07] if you look at the mounted sda1, it does contain your machine etc ? [13:07] GR1M0R4CL3 : Will it be much easier if I just sudo nautilus and go to the partition and gedit the .conf ? [13:07] nbusrone: we need to know where the current /etc is [13:08] nbusrone: could you show us the output for : sudo fdisk -l | grep sda [13:08] so we see all partitions available on the /dev/sda device ? [13:12] GR1M0R4CL3 : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FrWkYdbZwH/ [13:13] nbusrone: your sda1 does contain everything. so it should contain an etc at its root [13:13] GR1M0R4CL3 : Sorry , it takes a lot of time , I can't copy text from live CD booted in Vbox guest and copy to host irc here. I need to manually trype the link out so it takes a bit of time [13:13] after doing the chroot /mnt/where/sda/is/mounted the new / should be where your sda1 etc is [13:13] nbusrone: you have done the chroot so a ls / | grep etc should show us your sda1 etc contents : does that work ? [13:14] does ls -l /etc/resolv* [13:14] nbusrone: show anything ? [13:15] nbusrone: the chroot launched a new shell. so doing an "exit" will drop you out of the chroot if you need [13:15] can someone tell me how to clear out all my ssh setups (think they are called keys) i want to connect to a pi and have reinstalled the os and pihole software now cant ssh in cuz of warning about remote host id changed(its the reinstall that has caused it [13:16] conjo: they are all stored inside your ~/.ssh [13:16] conjo: look for a known_hosts file [13:16] so if i delete the contents of that all will be good to start over (this is all i use ssh for) [13:16] the pi [13:17] it will redisplay the fingerprint of SSH servers you connect to and ask for a "yes" [13:17] makes it forget known SSH Servers by removing their fingerprint you previously recorded from them [13:18] nbusrone: do an exit to get out of the chroot. then check that ls /mnt/where/sda/is/mounted does show your sda1 etc folder contents [13:18] delete em all yeah (i have been trouble shooting) [13:19] conjo: rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts [13:19] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DsN4skjY47/ [13:19] nice thank you [13:19] conjo: you either remove the whole file, or edit it and remove the line for the server. [13:20] how would i check a fingerprint against a key [13:20] like the warning was talking about [13:20] conjo: you need to ask the server admin for the fingerprint, then connect and compare [13:21] conjo: if you do not you assume you are talking to the proper server securely, which is maybe not the case [13:21] i was supplied a finger print when i tried to connect to the pi [13:21] conjo: then, each following ssh connection will report if the fingerprint changes. if it changes, it means you are not talking to the previously known server [13:21] prolly very basic setup as i dont know what im doing i will tell you the commands i used now [13:21] on a pastebin [13:21] conjo: your first ssh should display a messages showing the fingerprint and ask for a "yes" confirmation [13:22] GR1M0R4CL3 : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BSWpsVtg9x/ [13:22] GR1M0R4CL3 : is this chroot [13:23] nbusrone: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /media/ubuntu/9da59c61-4857-4017-a29a-860d749f5a4c/etc/resolv.conf [13:23] nbusrone: this should put a resolv.conf with the dns for google's first dns [13:23] nbusrone: just cd to /media/ubuntu/9da59c61-4857-4017-a29a-860d749f5a4c/etc/ [13:23] nbusrone: then do the echo command to put a proper resolv.conf file [13:24] nbusrone: then we do the chroot and get-apt to reinstall init [13:25] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5G7jqMSCVp/ [13:26] i did get that in the past then i did a fresh install on the pi and my pc had old ssh keys/fingerprints and the hostname hadnt changed(pi) so i think the conflict is there (am i correct) [13:26] conjo: first off, do not use sudo when calling your ssh client [13:26] just learning ssh [13:27] conjo: yup. sudo should not be used when using ssh [13:27] i thought i was going to be told that and thanks for the warning good to know [13:27] conjo: ssh uses your current username to log to distant servers when used [13:27] conjo: if you put a sudo in front of it, it will try to ssh as root which is usually forbidden [13:27] k [13:27] Is there any major differences if I used Xfce over Gnome? [13:28] yes xfce looks like something else [13:28] I've used Ubuntu Studio, which uses Xfce, and am wondering if maybe I should just switch to Xubuntu while I am at it. [13:28] GR1M0R4CL3: yes, but he did specify a user, so the biggest difference with using sudo at that point is it not using any local ssh private keys for the user [13:28] conjo: if the user on the distant server is blabla then ssh command becomes : ssh blabla@ip [13:28] GR1M0R4CL3 : Done creating a resolv.conf with nameserver 8.8.8.8 google [13:28] cool thank you [13:28] nbusrone: ok now we have to chroot properly [13:28] very much [13:29] nbusrone: chroot /media/ubuntu/9da59c61-4857-4017-a29a-860d749f5a4c/ [13:29] so the mounted sda contents become our new / [13:29] conjo: In Gnome, can you for example hide the window bar completely? In Ubuntu Studio it's easy to do. [13:29] nbusrone: to check do : cat /etc/resolv.conf [13:29] nbusrone: should display our new resolv.conf file === mateen1 is now known as mateen [13:31] nbusrone: we do this so the apt-get command will install the init binary at the right place [13:32] GR1M0R4CL3 : already have the file. cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 [13:33] GR1M0R4CL3 : how to install the init binary [13:33] zmagii, in Xubuntu 14.04 I had bluetooth driver problems. I solved them by installing the regular Ubuntu, then installing xfce and uninstalling gnome. [13:33] nbusrone: after the chroot is done you do this : [13:33] nbusrone: apt-get install init [13:33] this will reinstall the package with the /sbin/init file and what it needs [13:34] once done, doing a ls -l /sbin/init should show us a newly installed file [13:34] nbusrone: if it doesnt want to install the file you can try : apt-get reinstall init [13:36] Sven_vB: Do you prefer Xfce in general, and why? [13:36] !discuss | zmagii [13:36] zmagii: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [13:37] lotus|NUC: Can you hide the bar on top of the menubar completely in Gnome? [13:37] GRIM0R4CL3-that all worked a treat thank you for teaching me about that it was driving me nuts [13:38] conjo: ssh is very strict about rights over .ssh [13:39] conjo: if you get some weird errors messages check the .ssh and evevything inside is chroot 700 (read-write only for your user) [13:40] GR1M0R4CL3 : not installing https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jSQ4RppNJZ/ === norkle is now known as Norkle [13:41] nbusrone: ok we need to find the proper package name [13:41] nbusrone: apt-get update [13:41] nbusrone: that works right ? [13:42] nbusrone: init is inside the package upstart i think [13:42] GR1M0R4CL3 : i did update before hand , maybe it is not at chrootenviroment [13:42] nbusrone: apt-get install upstart [13:42] nbusrone: if I trust packages.ubuntu.com the /sbin/init file is stored inside the "upstart" package [13:44] zmagii, I prefer xfce because it seems to have lower graphics requirements. [13:44] GR1M0R4CL3 : not installing https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wxKjnSgSwF/ [13:44] nbusrone: init is systemd. when systemd runs it is as PID 1 as /sbin/init [13:46] nbusrone: apt search init [13:46] cheers again [13:46] nbusrone: does that report something ? [13:46] GR1M0R4CL3 : the init is in /sbin/init [13:47] GR1M0R4CL3 : It's clearly show when i search using nautilus search not in command [13:47] nbusrone: init is a meta-package that ensures a init system is installed [13:47] nbusrone: apt install init [13:47] nbusrone: don't use apt-get. use apt [13:47] nbusrone: apt install init [13:47] nbusrone: apt install init [13:47] nbusrone: this should repair the /sbin/init missing thing [13:48] GR1M0R4CL3 : not installing https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XwPHXhCzMh/ [13:49] nbusrone: seems you have apt-get but not apt [13:50] nbusrone: apt-get install -y init [13:50] GR1M0R4CL3 : the last line is apt install init [13:51] nbusrone: it seems it says it cannot find the "init" meta package [13:51] nbusrone: what ubuntu version are you using ? [13:51] GR1M0R4CL3 : let me guess one thing , most of the pkg already outdate or prge from main because of old OS 12.04 [13:52] GR1M0R4CL3 : even I try to install synaptic is not successfully [13:52] GR1M0R4CL3 : most are being remove [13:52] nbusrone: the apt-get update should have fetched the list of available packages for our 12.04 version. assuming you are also using a 12.04 livecd [13:52] GR1M0R4CL3 : ??? nope, I am using 18.04 live cd [13:53] GR1M0R4CL3 : will it be the cause ? [13:53] nbusrone: maybe. you should use the livecd in the same version as the contents of the vdi [13:53] Sven_vB: Thanks---I think that is more of a priority for me as well, and hence a sensible use case. I'll try it out and see... [13:53] GR1M0R4CL3 : i will need to download it since I don't think i still keep the .iso 12.04 around . [13:55] nbusrone: we need to find which package did contain /sbin/init in 12.04 (precise pangolin) [13:55] GR1M0R4CL3 : If everything not working , will try and clone .I prefer to tar the OS itself because I can exclude some media directory and conserve space. [13:55] nbusrone: apt search systemd-sysv [13:55] nbusrone: apt search upstart-sysv [13:55] Good morning folks-- any reiserfs wizards in here? I've had --rebuild-tree fail twice, wondering what the next step is. (I've run a smartctl -tlong on both drives of my raid1, and done a raid1 --check) [13:55] nbusrone: does your apt find one of those packages ? [13:56] GR1M0R4CL3 : command crash [13:56] nbusrone: apt-cache search systemd-sysv [13:59] GR1M0R4CL3 : command crash https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VzkRnSNqJ3/ [14:00] nbusrone: seems it doesnt find anything but it does not look like a crash. unless it spits out an error message [14:00] nbusrone: does your /etc/apt/sources.list point to the old-releases.ubuntu.com servers ? [14:01] nbusrone: 12.04 is precise pangolin, so we should see in the sources.lst lines with : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise .... [14:01] GR1M0R4CL3 : If I use a a file browser nautilus I can find systemd in /etc and /lib [14:02] nbusrone: so you may be using upstart instead of systemd [14:02] nbusrone: apt-cache search upstart-sysv [14:03] i have chroot sftp setup and works great but there is a subdirectory that i don't want accessible by the user but i need readable by the users process. how can i do this? [14:03] nbusrone: old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/ [14:03] nbusrone: all the images and iso can be found there if you need [14:03] nbusrone: because it is an old LTS we need to be sure your /etc/apt/sources.list does point properly to the old-releases now [14:04] nbusrone: example of proper sources.list here : https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/precise [14:04] nbusrone: ignore the french parts and look at the gray box with the sources.list contents [14:04] 12.04 is eol.. [14:04] GR1M0R4CL3 : I goto the source.list at /etc/apt/sources.list and it 12.04 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pt3PgYcrMV/ [14:06] nbusrone: i dont know if contents are ok or not. since that LTS is now very old the contents should be found at old-releases.ubuntu.com now [14:07] nbusrone: it is possible all the packages have been moved to old-releases and your sources.list is not up to date with this change [14:07] lotuspsychje : I know , that is why I plan to remove and format the partition but there are some application which stop support in late 18.04 or 20.04 .I plan to tar the whole file and paste on the .vdi to access it [14:07] nbusrone: might explain why we cant find the package we need [14:08] GR1M0R4CL3 : I really thanks for the help , really appreciate the time you spend for the help , it's more than an hour for your precious time. [14:08] nbusrone: you can make a backup. then download the 12.04 iso and reinstall [14:08] GR1M0R4CL3 : I would try not to tar it but to clone it again using clone zilla and restore on a vdi [14:08] nbusrone: then put back your files :) [14:09] nbusrone: and once done, you should make a backup of the sources.list file, edit it to point to the old-releases.ubuntu.com and see [14:09] nbusrone: use the sources.list gray content @ https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/precise [14:10] nbusrone: latest 12.04.4 @ old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.4 [14:10] nbusrone: if you go up you will find 12.04.3, 12.04.2, 12.04.1 and 12.04 folders too [14:10] nbusrone: there, you can find all the .iso files you might need for 12.04 [14:11] nbusrone: that tar might have damaged more than sbin :/ [14:12] nbusrone: so i would first backup my home folder + /etc and re-install the 12.04 (ideally, 12.04.4) [14:12] GR1M0R4CL3 : Will try it out that way , now finding the archive of old 12.04 .Sometimes application like old open office only works on old release which had stop support. [14:12] nbusrone: then boot it, mv sources.list sources.list.old and install a new sources.list targetting old-releases.ubuntu.com [14:12] nbusrone: do a update + upgrade and put back my data [14:13] GR1M0R4CL3 : I had tar the whole OS and home mostly are in it . [14:13] nbusrone: by targeting old-releases.ubuntu.com you still have access to all the packages that 12.04 used [14:13] what's the difference between a dist upgrade and a release upgrade ? [14:14] upgrade never removes any packages [14:14] upgrade will add or update packages, never remove anything [14:14] dist-upgrade will remove anything it thinks needs to go for a new package installation [14:14] GR1M0R4CL3 : I will try do a proper way by cloning it but size would be large since I cannot exclude some directory. [14:15] dist-upgrade *may* remove some packages [14:15] GR1M0R4CL3 : Unlike tar which I can exclude some media folder [14:15] a dist upgrade just upgrades the current OS packages, release upgrade upgrades to the next release if there is one [14:16] GR1M0R4CL3 : really appreciate for an hour of help [14:18] GR1M0R4CL3 : just wonder , some application are install through deb which are not save at sources.list , how do I update those application install through deb ?
