tomreyni lack context there, but, just in case this hasn't been tried, yet, i'd definitely recommend running multiple passes of a full memory test in the same bios/uefi boot mode which a malfunction seems to have been triggered in. and to check disks' s.m.a.r.t. data, too.00:04

robertparkerxcan someone help teach me something. A little back story a site was hacked today. I've done everything in test environment but the bash (I think script?) I was given. It's just code what looks like. What do I do with it?00:20
robertparkerxI know how to create the crontab job00:20
robertparkerxthe bash just changes permissions00:21
quadrathoch2robertparkerx, i still don't get the link between getting hacked and a bash script oO (especially when it only changes ownership)00:22
robertparkerxI could not explain00:23
quadrathoch2so from whom did you get the script then?00:24
robertparkerxmy boss00:24
robertparkerxI just have the snippet in a paste00:26
quadrathoch2so to figure out the whole story: you were hacked, (hopefully fixed the issue) and now you should run a script that fixes permission isssues? or what should it do?00:28
quadrathoch2robertparkerx, if you are allowed to post that paste, that would be nice00:28
robertparkerxSure it only has paths00:29
Ether_ManIs there any way I can grant permission to use chown/chmod to a non root user?00:30
robertparkerxhttps://url.hashdev.org/1400:30
quadrathoch2just want to make sure, that there is no private information or the like00:30
sarnoldEther_Man: chmod yes, chown no00:31
Ether_Man:/00:31
sarnoldEther_Man: what are you trying to accomplish?00:32
quadrathoch2robertparkerx, hm imho those permissions are not restrictive enough, but not my soup ^^. so now you want to run that on a certain period?00:32
robertparkerxyes00:32
robertparkerxevery night00:33
quadrathoch2cron or systemd-timers?00:33
robertparkerxcron00:33
sarnoldcron is nice because it's a single line; cron is annoying because it emails you the output and quite often systems don't have working email any more00:34
Ether_Mansarnold, ah well I was going to update a bit of policies for some programs while it's down due to a bug. But basically, I need one app to set the owner and permission to a different group. There's 3 apps. One fetches a file. Another processes the file. Another reads the file. I'd like as little cross contamination in between them so to speak so was thinking of moving them to different users, but without chown, that's not really gonna00:34
Ether_Manwork00:34
robertparkerxI thought I could just ouput to a log00:35
sarnoldsystemd-timers is nice because you can get the output in journalctl, systemd-timers is annoying because it's a minimum of two files and several commands to do what cron can do in one line...00:35
robertparkerxoutput*00:35
robertparkerxWell print to a log00:35
quadrathoch20 23 * * * /path/to/script, editing with crontab -e00:36
quadrathoch2robertparkerx, ops, wanted to ping you00:36
robertparkerxokay for php I normally do php -q path/to/script00:36
quadrathoch2will run every day at 11pm00:37
quadrathoch2yeah00:37
robertparkerxbut what file extension do I use for bash00:37
robertparkerxdoes it matter00:37
quadrathoch2most people do .sh00:37
sarnoldEther_Man: there's probably a happy way to do what you need -- program A runs as user A, downloads file; program B runs as user B, reads the A files fine, writes new B files as user B; program C reads the B files fine, writes new files as C user...00:37
robertparkerxcould I run it from terminal too?00:37
sarnoldEther_Man: I run something similar, my ubuntu archive rsync job runs as a restricted user via a systemd service file -- and systemd timer, just as I was complaining a few lines above :)_00:37
quadrathoch2yes if it's executable (which it needs to be)00:38
robertparkerxa+x ?00:39
robertparkerxty for showing me this00:40
robertparkerxa lot00:40
Ether_Mansarnold, App B doesn't really have the capability to copy the contents of the file. Like that. The processing it does is more like making a library of the files and moving them to the right locations, renaming them in an orderly manner and such.00:40
quadrathoch2no problem, :) btw. yes but normally i just do +x00:40
quadrathoch2or rather I use the numbers00:41
sarnoldEther_Man: you could either put both A and B in the same group and give both groups write access to the directories containing the files, or you could bust out setfacl and give write permissions to the directories in question to both users00:43
devslashis trhere a way to make the grub menu show up at bootup if it doesnt normally00:45
Ether_Mansarnold, The apps have a shared group as it is right now so I guess I'll have to keep using that to decide all permissions. Just don't really like giving A permission to the files as served to C :/00:45
devslashi need to boot into recpovery mode but grub doesnt show up it boots right away00:45
sarnolddevslash: normally holding down left shift will do the job00:46
devslashdidnt do anything00:46
sarnoldEther_Man: depending upon what you're trying to accomplish, apparmor profiles or systemd namespace tricks may help00:46
robertparkerxIt worked out fantastically :D00:47
robertparkerxty again00:47
quadrathoch2devslash, try esc00:48
quadrathoch2robertparkerx, :)00:48
devslashesc worked00:48
devslashbut i cant boot into recovery mode'00:49
quadrathoch2devslash, what error do you get?00:49
devslasheven after adding single to the grub line00:49
devslashnone00:49
devslashit just boots normally00:49
devslashhow do you boot into recoverty mode ?00:50
=== m000gle__ is now known as m000gle
devslashI thought that you add single to the linux line in the grub menu but that doesnt work00:50
Bashing-omdevslash: At the grub boot menu is "advanced" in that selection is the option "recovery".00:51
devslashgetting to grub is tricky on my computer00:52
devslashit weorks maybe 10% of the time when I press esc00:52
Bashing-omdevslash: There is but a 3 second window of opportunity for grub to see escape - keep trying to find that sweet spot :P00:54
devslashits like 0.5 seconds00:55
quadrathoch2devslash, if you want you could increase that window (and I'm sure it's not 0.5 seconds) :)00:56
devslashnot without being able to sudo00:56
quadrathoch2welp, yeah that's an issue00:56
devslashi think im gonna have to reformat00:56
devslashi cant get in00:57
devslashnot even to grub00:57
devslashit goes straight to thre grub prompt not the grub menu00:57
devslashbut the grub command line00:57
quadrathoch2devslash, what specifically did you do?00:58
devslashlogged in via ssh which uses pub key auth00:58
devslashdid sudo -i to do some admin stuff00:58
devslashit said password is not correct00:59
devslashthats it00:59
devslashhavent changed it recently00:59
quadrathoch2can you change the password?00:59
devslashi changed it 6 days ago and have logged in many times since then00:59
devslashno00:59
devslashim trying to get into recovery mode00:59
devslashso i can do that00:59
devslashi just got to recovery00:59
devslashif i choose root it asks for root password01:00
devslashbut i dunno ehat that is01:00
quadrathoch2well if you never changed that, there is no root password01:00
devslashis there anything else i can do before i reformat and start over01:00
devslashwell it says that its incorrect if i dont enter one01:00
quadrathoch2devslash, yeah because empty means you can't login01:01
quadrathoch2but single should work01:01
devslashit doesnt01:01
devslashit does the same thing01:01
devslashasks for root password or ctrl d to continue01:01
devslashctrl d boots up normally01:01
devslashwhich i dont want to do01:01
Sven_vBis SSH configured to accept 1. interactive passwords 2. empty passwords?01:01
devslashno01:02
devslashonly pub key01:02
Sven_vBhave you tried "2" as a boot argument? instead of "single"01:03
devslashno01:03
Sven_vBif you can't even get into grub, the SuperGrub Disk might help01:03
devslashwhat does that do01:03
sarnolddevslash: boot with "init=/bin/bash" or "init=/usr/bin/bash"01:03
Sven_vB"2" is the old way of giving a runlevel as target. I'll see what the modern way is, too.01:04
devslashwith single ir without ?01:04
devslashsarnold, do i use single or not when using init ?01:04
Sven_vBmy custom revovery has "systemd.unit=multi-user.target", maybe there's single-user also01:04
devslashahh that did the trick01:05
Jordan_Udevslash: init=/bin/bash should do it, but if it doesn't then booting from a LiveUSB and chrooting in is another way to change passwords.01:05
sarnolddevslash: 'single' will probably go through systemd's rescue target, and that will prompt you for a root password if you set one. init=/bin/bash will just run bash, and not ask for any passwords at all01:05
devslashyea thats what i needed thanks01:05
devslashi still dont know why I couldnt log in with my existing password01:06
sarnolddevslash: once you're in, run passwd, set a new one, sync ; sync ; sync ; kill $$  --- it should reboot then01:06
devslashok. I forgot to run sync. need to do it again :p01:07
KamIs copying over the public/priv ssh key onto a new host fine?01:07
devslashyea you can as long as you set the right perms01:07
sarnoldKam: some folks prefer making new identities on every host, so if one host is compromised, you can just yank that one pubkey from all the other systems01:08
KamHow would I set the right perms? I just copied over the .ssh folder onto my hdd01:08
devslash644 on .ssh and 600 on the key01:08
KamIts just I have my public key stored on a school computer which I can't access anymore01:08
KamSo I really need that key xD01:08
devslashdoh01:08
Sven_vBsarnold, why many syncs? what determines how many are appropriate?01:09
sarnoldKam: 700 on ~/.ssh 600 on ~/.ssh/id_rsa   (or whichever type)01:10
devslashoh ok yea sorry my bad01:10
Sven_vBactually that w-bit seems useless01:10
sarnoldSven_vB: probably one sync would do; three syncs has been tradition for decades, though. the sync syscall just *queues* data to be written, and when disks were spinning metal and slow, it was common to have to wait several seconds for everything to be written01:11
sarnoldSven_vB: and, of course, any pages in memory that were dirtied after that first sync wouldn't be queued to be flushed -- so that's the second sync01:11
Sven_vBsarnold, I see. then I should probably put some sleeps between them, too.01:11
sarnoldSven_vB: and the third sync is the pick up whatever might have been dirtied while typing the second sync command :)01:11
sarnoldwell the idea was that humans would't type sync<enter> super-quick..01:12
devslashif i change the password for 2 different user accounts do i need to run sync afer each pw change or just once ?01:12
Sven_vBsarnold, yeah, the sleep would only be required when you use ; as above01:12
sarnoldyeah01:13
Sven_vBdevslash, you need the syncs after you're done with all your changes01:13
sarnolddevslash: just once, before rebootring01:13
devslashjust so you know kill $$ doesnt do anything01:13
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
Sven_vBor just reboot cleanly with the "reboot" command, then you don't need to sync.01:14
devslashctrl alt del does the trick too ;)01:14
Sven_vByes when you have a keyboard connected, that's one way to do it.01:15
Sven_vB(as opposed to, e.g. a nullmodem link)01:16

golden_ticketIs there any software which I can run as a transparent proxy that supports udp?02:21
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
Sven_vBgolden_ticket, maybe socat. depends on what you're trying to do02:32
golden_ticketSven_vB, I'm trying to forward all udp traffic to an external proxy I purchased and then return that traffic to the application which requested the data.02:33
Sven_vBgolden_ticket, how would the proxy know which packet is a reply to which earlier packet?02:33
golden_ticketwatermarking02:34
Sven_vBgolden_ticket, the first part, relaying outbound, is easy02:34
Sven_vBwhat kind of watermark?02:34
golden_ticketSven_vB, I've heard of some kind of iptables extension which watermarks packets being relayed for udp...I can't remember the name of it though02:34
Sven_vBgolden_ticket, if you get iptables (i.e. netfilter) to identify the replies, you could re-route them to another port that's reserved for forwarding "back" to you.02:36
golden_tickethm02:36
Sven_vBthen 2 socats should suffice to forward UDP packets in each direction respectively.02:36
Sven_vBmy gut suspects this would have a lot of overlap with STUN.02:37

adamcziHi everyone! I have a question about cloudimages. I noticed that Focal Fossa 20.04 server is distributed with a GUI by default. Why is that so? Is it a development-thing or it will remain like that?10:54
adamcziI'm using an official vagrant box, which is up to date (yesterday's build)10:54
EriC^^nikolam: no worries, according to the manpage it says environment variables, VLC_VERBOSE=3 should give debug info10:54
EriC^^nikolam: try setting that in the shell then run vlc10:54
nikolamI think it could be something with VDPAU , it defaults to it, when I select xvideo/x11 output it then exits fine, even spits out errors on CLI.10:56
EriC^^doesn't seem to do much for me though *shrug*10:56
nikolamok, let me do that EriC^^10:56
ne2kadamczi server has a GUI?! you mean the installer is GUI based, or it actually installs a GUI by default? that would a U-turn from many years of how things have been done, not to mention completely INSANE10:57
nikolamEriC^^, this is just starting and stopping vlc : https://pastebin.com/bZ5WVFGG10:57
adamczi@ne2k - the server after importing the cloudimage has GUI enabled, as if it was a desktop version10:58
nikolamEriC^^, And this is VLC with automatic output (7850 graphics) while playing Video and then fails to exit (until Ctrl+C) https://pastebin.com/2CraBFjD11:01
nikolamEriC^^, And this is when XCB/Xvideo output is forced, vlc exits after playing: https://pastebin.com/bEKsDFxS11:05

jurajb0b0Hi can somebody make me an recommendation how to install ubuntu20.04 on smallest disk. Currently there is no pressed/kickstart. Durring the install I want to skip all usb device as well. Is there any possibility to run an script during install phase to select disk candidate ?11:05
adamczi@ne2k sure, no problem11:06
nikolamMy conclusion is that 7850/amdgpu and when VDPAU is used, have a problem with exiting vlc , I dunno if I am right.11:06
EriC^^nikolam: wish i could help, i really have no clue on media stuff, maybe upload the debug info to the devs? ps if you run 'xkill' it might be easier to kill it when you need to11:27
zmagiiDoes gzip compression in Firefox on Ubuntu (I'm on Xubuntu) work differently than other OSs?11:28

MBoardhi all, I am attempting to install ubuntu 18.04 Desktop.  I have 3 SSD drives and an external HDD in a dock.  Is it possible to set these hard drives so that the 3 internal SSD drives are 1 partition and the remote HDD is a system drive as well so all users can access it?12:59
quadrathoch2MBoard, yes, but you have to be more specific about how you want to setup your 3 internal ones13:00
MBoardquadrathoch2, the 3 internal drives I just want a simple 1 storage device.  256GB + 256GB + 512GB as 1TB on the system13:01
MBoardnot sure what specifics are needed?13:01
=== mnabid_ is now known as mnabid
quadrathoch2MBoard, well with that setup you know when 1 drive 'explodes' that you don't have any data anymore?13:02
MBoardyes, this is why I have the other drive in the dock13:02
MBoardI want that drive to basically mirror the 3 internal drives13:02
quadrathoch2MBoard, okay, just wanted to make sure13:02
MBoardok13:03
quadrathoch2MBoard, well first you would need to create a raid0 spanning all 3 disks, after that you can create your normal partitions. ping me if you need help with that13:06
tortalwhy how does WSL handle inode and windows folders really? I successfully rm -rf a content of directory (which had files in use). But the folder remained.....13:06
zmagiiOK, so finally I can ask a better question. On macOS, if I use fswatch, then --exclude ".*" binds less strongly than --include. However, on Ubuntu (Xubuntu 20.04) it seems like --exclude ".*" stops everything. In other words, fswatch just excludes everything in the folder.13:23
zmagiiMy question is: How do I include just a few files in fswatch and exclude the rest? If I throw away --exclude, then it still picks up too many events.13:23
zmagiiThe idea is that it only picks up development files and then knows to refresh.13:24

MisterTHey Guys :) whats the best way to contact a repo maintainer ? Using one package causing segfaults on ubuntu 20.04 with current package version - the newer version fixed that on 12/2019 but its still not on ubuntu repos :(20:45
quadrathoch2MisterT, probably report a bug to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu for that package.20:48
reallymemorableI managed to run it with /snap/bin/mailspring20:48
ikoniahow do you know the segfault is down to the version20:48
reallymemorablebut is it really the case that you cannot access it from the GUI?20:48
MisterTquadrathoch2 ty :)20:49
MisterTikonia coz I found it on devs project page ;) segfaults caused by umount.davfs  - See line 4-6 and thats the reason: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/davfs2/davfs2/ChangeLog?revision=1.156&view=markup&pathrev=MAIN20:51

reallymemorableits surprising that it doesnt end up in the GUI20:56

Paul_65536Hi.  Are there any reports of boot problems after the kernel updates today?21:10
oerheks'any reports'?? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+bugs21:11
oerheksno idea, what is your issue?21:11
Paul_65536I have a laptop with secure boot and an encrypted hard drive.  I applied the updates as normal and rebooted.  Now it just sits at the "loading into ram" stage and never progresses.  Selecting the older kernel does the same.21:13
Paul_65536I've booked from a live USB and I can mount the partitions fine.  Check all show fine too.21:16

tomreynPaul_65536: disable the code which loads cpu microcode updates during early boot.21:18
oerhekswe did have a intel-microcode and kernel update recently, indeed21:19
tomreynPaul_65536: my working theory here is that the latest intel microcode update you installed does not work for your computer21:19
littlebithi people, I have installed ubuntu server os and along with it nextcloud. It is my first time that I'm using ubuntu server, and wanted to know where the logs for the webserver is located??21:20
Paul_65536With !kernelparm dis_ucode_ldr, it now boots.  A few errors flashed by, I'll see if I can retrieve them.21:20

tomreynPaul_65536: there are "critical" bios updates for this system: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x260/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS%2FUEFI21:26
Paul_65536Interesting, I have a micrcode update to install now.21:26
sarnoldhold off21:26
sarnoldthere were problems with intel's update, one of the cpu classes doesn't do well with the new microcode21:27
sarnoldwe're in the process of publishing something to revert the fix for that family21:27
tomreynPaul_65536: ^21:28
tomreynPaul_65536: doing the bios update should be safe (at least regarding this recent microcode update flaw) since it clearly predates it.21:30
tomreyn(and hasn't been pulled since)21:31
sarnoldmaaaaybe; intel gives hardware vendors microcode before they give it to us..21:31
sarnoldand we didn't notice this problem in our tests, it's possible the hardware vendors didn't notice it either21:32
joshhsarnold: what cpu class?21:32
Paul_65536So the new intel-microcode update I have now that I can boot, is that the reverted version?21:33
tomreynlatest bios update is from february21:33
=== cyp3d is now known as cypx64
tomreynPaul_65536: maybe what really happened is that you only installed the kernel update last time, or the kernel update and an old microcode update, and the latest microcode update you only installed now? hard to tell unless you can provide version numbers.21:34
tomreynsee /var/log/apt/history.log and term.log21:35
Paul_65536Hmm, fwupdmngr says I have the latest updates21:35
sarnoldjoshh: iucode-tool -S  0x000406e321:35
tomreynPaul_65536: you have the latest that is available via fwupd21:36
Paul_65536apt show intel-microcode gives 3.20200609.0ubuntu0.20.04.121:36
tomreynthe relevant thing to find out is what kernel package version and intel-microcode version you were running when you were unable to boot21:37
Paul_65536Linux padfoot 5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux21:38
sarnoldif you're having troubles booting due to the microcode loading, add kernel parameter dis_ucode_ldr to the grub kernel boot line21:40
Paul_65536I have not update anything since I was unable to boot.  I'm booted now with the  !kernelparm dis_ucode_ldr21:40
tomreyni understand that Paul_65536 IS asble to boot fine with all the latest package updates installed (and without dis_ucode_ldr)21:40
tomreyn<Paul_65536> So the new intel-microcode update I have now that I can boot, is that the reverted version?21:41
tomreynPaul_65536: can you confirm this?21:41
tomreyn[ ] with all the latest updates installed, i can boot fine without having to use the dis_ucode_ldr boot parameter21:43
tomreyn^ please tick if it applies21:43
sarnold3.20200609.0ubuntu0.20.04.1 reverted the bad microcode for processors in the 0x000406e3 family -- 3.20200609.0ubuntu0.20.04.2 has another fix to disable late-microcode-loading but no further microcode updates21:43
Paul_65536Currently, I have booted with " !kernelparm dis_ucode_ldr" added in grub.  Without that I cannot boot.  I have not installed anything since.  My kernel is 5.4.0-37-generic  and my microcode is 3.20200609.0ubuntu0.20.04.1.  I have a pending update for the microcode.21:43
tomreynso i misinterpreted you, thanks.21:44
sarnoldPaul_65536: install that .2 update, try again... keep that dis_ucode_ldr thing handy in case it still fails.. if it fails to boot again, please do report back21:44
Paul_65536OK, thanks.  Its a different machine so I'll still be here....21:45
sarnoldah good21:45
sarnoldI'm not sure intel realized just how important it is for these things to be *perfect* ... when they go wrong, it takes a lot of effort to bring a machine back online :(21:46
sarnoldthis keeps happening21:46
joshhdoes the lts/stable get all microcode updates or just security and bugs?21:46
sarnoldwe publish whatever blobs intel give us -- historically they've done a very poor job of saying what they changed in the microcodes, but now they're at least saying roughly what the updates do..21:47
tomreynit's be a lot less of an end user support effort if someone implemented bug 183178921:47
ubottubug 1831789 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Add "dis_ucode_ldr" to linux boot options for Recovery Mode" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/183178921:47
sarnoldthanks tomreyn21:48
Paul_65536OK, I installed the microcode update and rebooted as normal, without "kernelparm dis_ucode_ldr" added to grub.  The machine booted fine.21:50
tomreynThanks Jeroen, i think he came up with the idea.21:50
tomreynPaul_65536: good to hear that rolling it back solved it for you.21:51
Paul_65536Yes, thank you very much for the help.  As this is a known issues and a fix has been released already (amazingly), I guess there is no need to file a bug?21:52
tomreynjoshh: i don't think there are non-security non-bug microcode updates.21:53
joshhok21:53
sarnoldPaul_65536: yeah, if you're back up and running with a new package, then it's probably all good :)21:53
sarnoldPaul_65536: thanks for reporting back; I'm sorry for the trouble21:53
oerheks:-)21:54
Paul_65536Absolutely no need to be me sorry, I'm really grateful or the help!21:54
