[00:04] i 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. [00:05] Ad [00:20] can 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] I know how to create the crontab job [00:21] the bash just changes permissions [00:22] robertparkerx, i still don't get the link between getting hacked and a bash script oO (especially when it only changes ownership) [00:23] I could not explain [00:24] so from whom did you get the script then? [00:24] my boss [00:26] I just have the snippet in a paste [00:28] so 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] robertparkerx, if you are allowed to post that paste, that would be nice [00:29] Sure it only has paths [00:30] Is there any way I can grant permission to use chown/chmod to a non root user? [00:30] https://url.hashdev.org/14 [00:30] just want to make sure, that there is no private information or the like [00:31] Ether_Man: chmod yes, chown no [00:31] :/ [00:32] Ether_Man: what are you trying to accomplish? [00:32] robertparkerx, 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] yes [00:33] every night [00:33] cron or systemd-timers? [00:33] cron [00:34] cron 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 more [00:34] sarnold, 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 gonna [00:34] work [00:35] I thought I could just ouput to a log [00:35] systemd-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] output* [00:35] Well print to a log [00:36] 0 23 * * * /path/to/script, editing with crontab -e [00:36] robertparkerx, ops, wanted to ping you [00:36] okay for php I normally do php -q path/to/script [00:37] will run every day at 11pm [00:37] yeah [00:37] but what file extension do I use for bash [00:37] does it matter [00:37] most people do .sh [00:37] Ether_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] could I run it from terminal too? [00:37] Ether_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 :)_ [00:38] yes if it's executable (which it needs to be) [00:39] a+x ? [00:40] ty for showing me this [00:40] a lot [00:40] sarnold, 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] no problem, :) btw. yes but normally i just do +x [00:41] or rather I use the numbers [00:43] Ether_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 users [00:45] is trhere a way to make the grub menu show up at bootup if it doesnt normally [00:45] sarnold, 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] i need to boot into recpovery mode but grub doesnt show up it boots right away [00:46] devslash: normally holding down left shift will do the job [00:46] didnt do anything [00:46] Ether_Man: depending upon what you're trying to accomplish, apparmor profiles or systemd namespace tricks may help [00:47] It worked out fantastically :D [00:47] ty again [00:48] devslash, try esc [00:48] robertparkerx, :) [00:48] esc worked [00:49] but i cant boot into recovery mode' [00:49] devslash, what error do you get? [00:49] even after adding single to the grub line [00:49] none [00:49] it just boots normally [00:50] how do you boot into recoverty mode ? === m000gle__ is now known as m000gle [00:50] I thought that you add single to the linux line in the grub menu but that doesnt work [00:51] devslash: At the grub boot menu is "advanced" in that selection is the option "recovery". [00:52] getting to grub is tricky on my computer [00:52] it weorks maybe 10% of the time when I press esc [00:54] devslash: There is but a 3 second window of opportunity for grub to see escape - keep trying to find that sweet spot :P [00:55] its like 0.5 seconds [00:56] devslash, if you want you could increase that window (and I'm sure it's not 0.5 seconds) :) [00:56] not without being able to sudo [00:56] welp, yeah that's an issue [00:56] i think im gonna have to reformat [00:57] i cant get in [00:57] not even to grub [00:57] it goes straight to thre grub prompt not the grub menu [00:57] but the grub command line [00:58] devslash, what specifically did you do? [00:58] logged in via ssh which uses pub key auth [00:58] did sudo -i to do some admin stuff [00:59] it said password is not correct [00:59] thats it [00:59] havent changed it recently [00:59] can you change the password? [00:59] i changed it 6 days ago and have logged in many times since then [00:59] no [00:59] im trying to get into recovery mode [00:59] so i can do that [00:59] i just got to recovery [01:00] if i choose root it asks for root password [01:00] but i dunno ehat that is [01:00] well if you never changed that, there is no root password [01:00] is there anything else i can do before i reformat and start over [01:00] well it says that its incorrect if i dont enter one [01:01] devslash, yeah because empty means you can't login [01:01] but single should work [01:01] it doesnt [01:01] it does the same thing [01:01] asks for root password or ctrl d to continue [01:01] ctrl d boots up normally [01:01] which i dont want to do [01:01] is SSH configured to accept 1. interactive passwords 2. empty passwords? [01:02] no [01:02] only pub key [01:03] have you tried "2" as a boot argument? instead of "single" [01:03] no [01:03] if you can't even get into grub, the SuperGrub Disk might help [01:03] what does that do [01:03] devslash: boot with "init=/bin/bash" or "init=/usr/bin/bash" [01:04] "2" is the old way of giving a runlevel as target. I'll see what the modern way is, too. [01:04] with single ir without ? [01:04] sarnold, do i use single or not when using init ? [01:04] my custom revovery has "systemd.unit=multi-user.target", maybe there's single-user also [01:05] ahh that did the trick [01:05] devslash: 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] devslash: '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 all [01:05] yea thats what i needed thanks [01:06] i still dont know why I couldnt log in with my existing password [01:06] devslash: once you're in, run passwd, set a new one, sync ; sync ; sync ; kill $$ --- it should reboot then [01:07] ok. I forgot to run sync. need to do it again :p [01:07] Is copying over the public/priv ssh key onto a new host fine? [01:07] yea you can as long as you set the right perms [01:08] Kam: some folks prefer making new identities on every host, so if one host is compromised, you can just yank that one pubkey from all the other systems [01:08] How would I set the right perms? I just copied over the .ssh folder onto my hdd [01:08] 644 on .ssh and 600 on the key [01:08] Its just I have my public key stored on a school computer which I can't access anymore [01:08] So I really need that key xD [01:08] doh [01:09] sarnold, why many syncs? what determines how many are appropriate? [01:10] Kam: 700 on ~/.ssh 600 on ~/.ssh/id_rsa (or whichever type) [01:10] oh ok yea sorry my bad [01:10] actually that w-bit seems useless [01:11] Sven_vB: probably one sync would do; three syncs has been tradition for decades, though. the sync syscall just *queues* data to be written, and when disks were spinning metal and slow, it was common to have to wait several seconds for everything to be written [01:11] Sven_vB: and, of course, any pages in memory that were dirtied after that first sync wouldn't be queued to be flushed -- so that's the second sync [01:11] sarnold, I see. then I should probably put some sleeps between them, too. [01:11] Sven_vB: and the third sync is the pick up whatever might have been dirtied while typing the second sync command :) [01:12] well the idea was that humans would't type sync super-quick.. [01:12] if i change the password for 2 different user accounts do i need to run sync afer each pw change or just once ? [01:12] sarnold, yeah, the sleep would only be required when you use ; as above [01:13] yeah [01:13] devslash, you need the syncs after you're done with all your changes [01:13] devslash: just once, before rebootring [01:13] just so you know kill $$ doesnt do anything === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:14] or just reboot cleanly with the "reboot" command, then you don't need to sync. [01:14] ctrl alt del does the trick too ;) [01:15] yes when you have a keyboard connected, that's one way to do it. [01:16] (as opposed to, e.g. a nullmodem link) [01:17] the comunitheme-dark is missing for me [01:18] how do i reinstall it? [01:19] devslash: aw bugger, thanks === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:22] SpeedrunnerG55: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/07/yaru-ubuntu-theme [01:23] how do i install it? [01:23] SpeedrunnerG55: you read the article [01:25] it says comuniotheme is alreaddy installed [01:25] but i dont see comunithyeme-dark [01:26] SpeedrunnerG55: reboot [01:29] it is still not there [01:30] SpeedrunnerG55: what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:31] SpeedrunnerG55: use gnome tweak to change the theme [01:33] im on ubuntu 18.04 [01:33] im trying to use gnome tweaks, but comunitheme dark isnt there [01:36] SpeedrunnerG55: it's under cursor and icons [01:38] SpeedrunnerG55: to use it for he entire session please read https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-community-theme/ [01:38] don't use the ppa, you already have it installe.d Just sk..... nevermind === zbenjamin is now known as Guest83430 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:43] i tried switching the shellt he comunitheme on GTK and its still not there [01:44] SpeedrunnerG55: https://youtu.be/cwERjNBEbiw?t=108 [01:46] comunitheme dark is missing for him too [01:47] then there is no dark version [01:48] i had it earlyer today [01:48] then it just went missiong for no reason [01:50] i found it [01:50] i had to use comunitheme on snap [01:51] then it showed up, [01:51] thnx tho [01:52] :/ [01:52] isn't that what the article I sent him originally said to do? === th0r__ is now known as th0r === mnemonic is now known as Guest37107 [02:21] Is there any software which I can run as a transparent proxy that supports udp? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [02:32] golden_ticket, maybe socat. depends on what you're trying to do [02:33] Sven_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] golden_ticket, how would the proxy know which packet is a reply to which earlier packet? [02:34] watermarking [02:34] golden_ticket, the first part, relaying outbound, is easy [02:34] what kind of watermark? [02:34] Sven_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 though [02:36] golden_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] hm [02:36] then 2 socats should suffice to forward UDP packets in each direction respectively. [02:37] my gut suspects this would have a lot of overlap with STUN. [02:37] I don't know what STUN is [02:37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran [03:11] I had a broken apt upgrade: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Yk4Rz5H2YS/ .... any ideas?

[10:56] doesn't seem to do much for me though *shrug* [10:56] ok, let me do that EriC^^ [10:57] adamczi 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 INSANE [10:57] EriC^^, this is just starting and stopping vlc : https://pastebin.com/bZ5WVFGG [10:58] @ne2k - the server after importing the cloudimage has GUI enabled, as if it was a desktop version [11:01] EriC^^, And this is VLC with automatic output (7850 graphics) while playing Video and then fails to exit (until Ctrl+C) https://pastebin.com/2CraBFjD [11:05] EriC^^, And this is when XCB/Xvideo output is forced, vlc exits after playing: https://pastebin.com/bEKsDFxS [11:05] adamczi, sorry, I missed the bit about cloudimage. I've never used that [11:05] Hi 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 ? [11:06] @ne2k sure, no problem [11:06] My conclusion is that 7850/amdgpu and when VDPAU is used, have a problem with exiting vlc , I dunno if I am right. [11:27] 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 to [11:28] Does gzip compression in Firefox on Ubuntu (I'm on Xubuntu) work differently than other OSs? [11:29] I'm trying to open a web app, but it asks to download a gzip file, which the browser is supposed to unzip and display the page. [11:29] It works on Firefox on macOS... [11:30] EriC^^, it closes the window, but leaves the process, that can only be killed with -9 [11:30] ah [11:31] zmagii: what happens on ubuntu? maybe there's an option with what to open the file (archive manager) or something? [11:42] It shows a popup "You have chosen to open..." and then "...which is a gzip file" and then asks for you to choose the program [11:42] EriC^^ [11:46] zmagii: maybe related? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35406474/gzipped-javascript-wont-work-on-firefox-on-ubuntu-centos === Roey is now known as Lord_of_the_File === Lord_of_the_File is now known as Lrd_of_the_Files [11:47] zmagii: does the file/app have a .gz extension? [11:49] EriC^^: Let me check === EriC^^ is now known as liquidtension === liquidtension is now known as EriC^^ [11:50] hello again. there was some env vars to force ubuntu 20.04 to pick nvidia gpu instead of intel. I've found them in stackexchange answer but cannot find them anymore. They were like __NVblablabla [11:50] anyone remember those vars? [11:51] EriC^^: I can't see that there are any .gz extensions [11:51] ah found it; https://askubuntu.com/a/1240082/587720 [11:56] EriC^^: What seems to fix it is to use other middleware. I am still not sure why this happens. [11:57] aha, same here [12:10] anyone around whos good with networking issues? [12:12] 'Morning all [12:12] morning [12:13] Severs, just ask, somebody may answer [12:14] im having issues getting hexchat and thunderbird to connect properly, thunderbird is taking 3 to 5 minutes to pull new messages, and hexchat wont connect at all [12:14] im currently here via the kiwi browser chat [12:15] sadly networking is something i never got the hang of [12:16] Severs, do you have a firewall active? [12:17] not on my PC, and i disabled the xfi advanced security that comcrap put on me === mateen1 is now known as mateen [12:17] what is the xfi advanced security? sorry i am not from the US [12:17] i do think its something do to with the new router they made me install though [12:18] its some thing theyve added on to "protect" customers that tend to block file sharing applications [12:19] ahh kk. I mean it really sounds like there are issues with something port wise, which means normally firewall or router [12:19] yeah im not sure what's going on because i even set this thing into DMZ mode to open everything, and hexchat still wont open any networks [12:19] i have fresh install ubuntu 20.04 and i couldn't find .local/bin at my path [12:20] has it changed recently? [12:21] thiras, I think, it's not created before you mkdir it yourself ;) [12:21] oh that might be the reason [12:21] because i've found relevant .local/bin lines at my .profile [12:21] so that must the reason [12:22] thanks. i'll create it and give it a try [12:23] Severs, any other services that don't work? [12:23] not that i know of [12:23] eh I meant, trying it out if it works [12:25] i finally got ahold of one of comcast's agents, gonna see if they can fix it [12:34] well i got hexchat to connect finally [12:34] I have another question, how does one configure fswatch on Ubuntu? === severs_ is now known as severs === hallo is now known as deww === tomtiger11_ is now known as tomtiger11 === markus_e92_ is now known as markus_e92 === Lrd_of_the_Files is now known as Roey [12:59] hi 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? [13:00] MBoard, yes, but you have to be more specific about how you want to setup your 3 internal ones [13:01] quadrathoch2, the 3 internal drives I just want a simple 1 storage device. 256GB + 256GB + 512GB as 1TB on the system [13:01] not sure what specifics are needed? === mnabid_ is now known as mnabid [13:02] MBoard, well with that setup you know when 1 drive 'explodes' that you don't have any data anymore? [13:02] yes, this is why I have the other drive in the dock [13:02] I want that drive to basically mirror the 3 internal drives [13:02] MBoard, okay, just wanted to make sure [13:03] ok [13:06] MBoard, 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 that [13:06] why 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..... [13:23] OK, 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] My 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. [13:24] The idea is that it only picks up development files and then knows to refresh. === mooses is now known as mouses === severs__ is now known as severs [13:49] how do i stop the discord snap? [13:49] i've attempted snap stop discord and then i get back that discord has no service [13:49] i've also tried stopping snap altogether, with systemctl stop snapd, but to no avail [13:53]
