cyberspectreIs there a straightforward way to make Ubuntu boot (and work) despite daily unclean power loss?00:18
cyberspectreOr is there another distro designed for this?00:18
sarnoldcyberspectre: have you looked over ubuntu core yet? https://ubuntu.com/core00:19
sarnoldcyberspectre: the ubuntu core update mechanism is transactional and doesn't rely on maintainer scripts (to the same degree?) that they are used in typical deb packaging; it should be more resilient to random power losses than the usual 'classic' ubuntu00:20

poutinehmm not sure you can blame nvidia for that03:18
skyliner_369I don't really... it's just more complaining about the awfully made drivers.03:22
poutineSo I've been using linux since the 90s, and it used to be you had to install catalyst control center, and everyone hated ATI/AMD drivers/cards in linux, it's a little crazy to hear the opposite in 202003:24
poutineI guess they just need to compete against CUDA03:25
skyliner_369it's probably actually because AMD has been getting a TON more open about their stuff. it puts them constantly on the back foot because any innovation they make nvidia will instantly snap up but when nvidia makes an innovation AMD has to skirt the patents for their own version.03:28

MrElendigconsider running it over wireguard09:43
viktor_quadrathoch2: quadrathoch2: this is the first webserver i'm setting up. never configured https before.09:44

quadrathoch2OnceMe honestly, as most people moved on from unity to gnome (as you can configure gnome almost to a unity design) most people just probably forgot how to do that (if they even knew)10:02
OnceMehow do you set gnome to be same as unity?10:03
OnceMeits probably super hard, I want to hide top bar and have app maximized, I want to change apps on mouse scroll, I want to have a right dot when app is focused etc..10:03
OnceMeall that which comes from unity10:03
OnceMebtw someone mentioned I can change sound bar theme/style with some other, I'm fine with that, but can someone check above logs and tell me where to change it in dconf-editor?10:04
OnceMee10:05
viktor_MrElendig: I just copied the vhost in the conf file again and changed the port in the second part. but it still doesn't work10:05
quadrathoch2well there is an addon for hide top bar, if you want the left panel there is another one. but mostly look into https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1287/unite/10:05
OnceMeits not that10:05
viktor_OnceMe: you can do most of that with gnome-extensions10:05
OnceMeI can hide it completely sure, but I want semi-hidden, in right column to have clock apps etc and in left  column to have - x []10:05

OnceMe<lotuspsychje>OnceMe: org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash to dock/running-indicator-style10:20
OnceMethere it is10:20
quadrathoch2WereCatf not much better but probably in februrary10:20
quadrathoch2WereCatf did you already look into mainline kernels?10:20
quadrathoch2WereCatf it's not really supported, but it's a way to get a newer kernel10:21
WereCatfquadrathoch2: Yeah, I guess I don't have much choice10:21
MrElendigWereCatf: not that hard to make your own .deb with 5.710:21
quadrathoch2MrElendig why doing your own deb when canonical offers you builds?10:21
WereCatfMrElendig: Nothing to do with it being hard. I just wanted to know if/when an officially-supported kernel with the broken feature fixed would be released.10:22
WereCatfI have no interest in compiling my own kernels, after having done it for years10:22
quadrathoch2btw WereCatf was the fix maybe backported?10:22
WereCatfquadrathoch2: I wouldn't know10:23
quadrathoch2WereCatf btw, no need for compiling https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/10:23

h00kso, I was troubleshooting a wireless issue a while back, and decided to come back to it. I have a '13 mbp with CM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01). I am not able to join wpa2 protected networks, but can join open networks. I have tried using "mainline" to grab some other kernels and test them, no success. It's using the brcmfmac module, which is supposed to support my chipset.13:52

jnewsomeHi - I'm trying to compile libc from the package source (with my own patches). I found the glibc-source package, but it's not clear how to compile it with Ubuntu's config and patches14:37
jnewsomeClosest documentation I could find is for compiling "source packages", but this seems like a slightly different beast14:38
h00koerheks: my last message didnt' send, I found the correct format by checking out some kernel source.14:44

jnewsomewould my question (how to recompile libc from package source) be better for another channel? Maybe #ubuntu-devel?15:10
lotuspsychjejnewsome: we dont really reccomend compiling from source, use the packages for your specific ubuntu version instead15:12
lotuspsychjejnewsome: is there a specific reason why you compile your own?15:13
jnewsomelotuspsychje: understood. I'm trying to apply my own patches to the source though. Short answer is that this is for research use15:14
asdfghlotuspsychje, and pardon what about the problem i asked? i m ean... i can run the program with normalò user and not from root...sounds strange :D15:14
jnewsomelonger version is that I'm using LD_PRELOAD to inject my version, but of course I need to be careful that function decls, types, etc are exactly the same as the system's libc15:15
jnewsomeI've already done this with vanilla libc (https://www.jimnewsome.net/posts/patching-glibc-to-make-syscalls-interposable/) but run into errors with more complex problems, I suspect becasue of such incompatibilities15:16
jnewsomemore complex *programs15:16
quadrathoch2asdfgh well it tells you the error. there is no fast executable for root (as it is not configured right (missing PATH))15:19
lotuspsychjejnewsome: do you have a problem on ubuntu with the libc version by default?15:19
jnewsomelotuspsychje: not generally. I'm patching libc to use the syscall function instead of the syscall instruction, so that I can use LD_PRELOAD to interpose on all syscalls. This is for a research simulator15:20
asdfghi thought snap configured it automatiuclly15:20
asdfghi mean globally (or for root at least)15:20
jnewsomeI'm not planning to replace the system's libc, only use my libc with LD_PRELOAD and my simulator15:21
lotuspsychjejnewsome: maybe some advanced users at #ubuntu-discuss might discuss with you?15:22
jnewsomeok, i'll give that a try. thanks!15:22
ioriajnewsome, have you tried with 'apt source  glibc-source'  ?15:24
jnewsomeioria: sort of, it's a little weird. glibc-source is itself a "binary" package without a source package specified. it puts the glibc source in /usr/src15:25
ioriajnewsome,  probably it's the same source15:25
jnewsomeand that includes a tarball of the vanilla glibc source + a "debian" directory with some other stuff15:25
jnewsomeright, but it's not clear how to compile it15:26
jnewsome(more specifically, how to apply ubuntu's patches + configs and then compile it)15:26
octav1aHi all, I am having some issues connecting to a OSX machine from ubuntu via VNC. I believe it is some issue with the security / authentication, bcause it comes back each 5 minutes or so asking for the username and password again. I have tried krdc and remmina. Any suggestions?15:32
ioriajnewsome, well, that pkg is a bit peculiar, the mainlines are here : https://lumiera.org/documentation/user/tutorials/DebianBuilding.html15:33
ioriajnewsome, this section to answer your question : anatomy of a Debian source package15:34
jnewsomeioria: yeah, unfortunately this seems to be not quite laid out as a normal debian source package, and the normal tools for building source packages don't seem to work. (hang on)15:36
ioriawhy ?15:36
jnewsomehttps://share.riseup.net/#Xwbve8r3qJSlSjoURv59Ng15:38
jnewsomefirst error is because there's a 'debian' directory instead of 'DEBIAN'. renaming results in a second error15:39
jnewsomeI could keep trying to hack it up to make it work, but I feel like I'm probablymissing something15:39
jnewsomethere's a control.in directory, which makes me think maybe there's another tool I'm supposed to run to generate a real control file15:42
EriC^^jnewsome: are you trying to create a .deb?15:43
jnewsomeEriC^^: Ultimately I want the .so's of the compiled library. I don't need the .deb but if the build tools end up generating one that's fine15:44
jnewsometotally possible that "dpkg -b" isn't the right thing here, but it's the closest thing I could find that operates on a local directory15:46
jnewsomethe suggested tools for building source packages in https://lumiera.org/documentation/user/tutorials/DebianBuilding.html seem targeted at "proper" source packages in the repo, not a local directory that kind-of-sort-of looks like the contents of a source package :)15:46
ioriajnewsome, let's try this way:    mkdir ~/newdir15:47
jnewsomee.g. "apt-get source --compile PACKAGENAME" doesn't apply here15:47
ioriajnewsome, and cd ~/newdir15:47
jnewsomeioria: ok15:48
ioriajnewsome,  apt source  glibc-source15:48
jnewsomeReading package lists... Done15:48
jnewsomePicking 'glibc' as source package instead of 'glibc-source'15:48
jnewsomeE: Unable to find a source package for glibc15:48
ioriajnewsome,  you don't have src enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list15:49
jnewsomeioria: *facepalm* you're right; hang on15:50
jnewsomeok, this is looking more promising15:51
ioriajnewsome,  you should see a bunch of dpkg-source: info: applying ....15:51
jnewsomeyup: $ ls15:52
jnewsomeglibc-2.27                         glibc_2.27-3ubuntu1.dsc15:52
jnewsomeglibc_2.27-3ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz  glibc_2.27.orig.tar.xz15:52
jnewsomeso I guess now I want to apply my own patches and then... dpkg-buildpackage?15:53
ioriajnewsome,  cd glibc-2.2715:54
jnewsomeioria: ok15:55
ioriajnewsome,  mkdir build-glibc/15:55
jnewsomeok15:55
ioriajnewsome,  cd build-glibc/15:55
jnewsomeok15:55
ioriajnewsome,  ../configure --prefix=/usr15:55
jnewsomeok. can I be confident that the binary libc package didn't use other configuration options though?15:57
jnewsomeand does this glibc-2.27 source directory already have ubuntu's patches applied?15:57
ioriajnewsome,   that cmd was just to check if have all the requirements15:57
ioria*you15:57
jnewsomeah ok. yup, it succeeded15:57
ioriajnewsome,   ok, now depends on you ... just DONT run 'make install'15:58
jnewsomeunderstood :)15:58
jnewsomegotta run, but now that I have something that looks like a proper source package I can probably just go read the docs on compiling source packages16:00

Ketzerheya16:11
Velardehola16:11
Ketzerso i uninstalled snap from my Xubuntu 20.04 LTS16:11
Ketzeri tried getting chromium from the apt repository, but it somehow thinks i also want to reinstall snapd16:11
Ketzerit lists that as a package to be installed16:12
Ketzeri'm not sure why it's doing that16:12
Ketzeris this some sort of bug?16:12
VelardeI've noticed that when installing some stuff with apt it installs the snap version of them, is this a thing now?16:13
Ketzeroh, that's something usual now?? o.O16:13
Ketzerso i'm not the only one that's had that happen to them16:13
VelardeI thing Ubuntu merged their software store with snap16:14
Ketzerwhat??16:14
VelardeWhen I installed Ubuntu 20.04 as soon as it came out there where both Ubuntu Software and the Snap Store16:15
Monotokoit delivers most things through snap16:15
VelardeNow there is only Ubuntu Software but when I installed spotify it used Snap16:15
Ketzerwell, i did manage to remove the snap store (and all other snap-related thing) with an apt command, but what really confused me is when i tried to install chromium through apt, it also wants to install snap16:16
MonotokoYeah probably shouldn't remove it16:16
VelardeI don't like snap16:16
Monotokoit's almost a 'core' feature now16:17
Ketzeri'm not sure you understand16:17
Velardemainly because of the directory in ~16:17
Velardebut I learned to ignore it16:17
Ketzeri do not want snap, i want to install stuff through apt or manually by compiling from source or whatever16:17
Monotokoyou can always manually compile from source16:17
Ketzerright, but what i mean is, i'm noticing this unusual insistence in the OS to get snap on the system16:17
Ketzeri don't want it16:17
Velardethen don't install it16:18
Monotokobecause it's a core feature for most things now16:18
Velardeis there any downside to Snap?16:18
Ketzeri'm really perplexed now... a core feature why? snap has a ton of issues AppImage and FlatPak don't16:19
VelardeI notice a bunch of loop with /snap/ when doing lsblk16:19
quadrathoch2Ketzer sadly, because of google, canonical moved chromium to a snap, so it's easier for them to get the updates out of the door16:20
Monotokoit's Ubuntu, you'd expect it to integrate with canonical stuff16:20
Ketzerquadrathoch2, so there's no official apt release of Chromium now for Ubuntu?16:20
quadrathoch2Ketzer yes16:20
Ketzeri mean, that may be the reason for Chromium specifically, but what Monotoko said is even more disconcerting16:21
Ketzerlike, a core feature? what?16:21
quadrathoch2Ketzer i wouldn't really call it a core feature, as you can easily remove snap and move on16:22
quadrathoch2at least i only found chromium (which I never use) and canonical-livepatch the only snaps that i would even install. but i still don't use chromium, so probably livepatch? which till nowadays I have no idea how that should work16:23
Ketzeri see.16:25
amuroWhat is snap?16:29
quadrathoch2amuro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(package_manager)16:29
Velardeis just an easy way to install ugly packaged stuff apparently16:30

Guest77350 Is there a way to disable a led ( matebook d 14 2020 ) if it's not listed in places like ' /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3 ' ? The machine has an annoying charing led blinking that I can't get over.16:57
ioriaGuest77350, what you have in 'll /sys/class/leds' ?17:06
Guest77350ioria: input3::capslock  input3::numlock  input3::scrolllock17:08
kinghatwhy does setting up a systemd timer need a corresponding no-op service if all i want it to do is run the WakeSystem directive?17:10
kinghatshould systemd talk be here or #ubuntu-server?17:11

shibbolethso on one hand we have an entirely community-maintained distro which *does* keep vlc updates, on the other we have a distro which fancies itself as the premier desktop linux experience but can't be bothered to keep gnome or vlc updated17:34

threesibboleth literally all i said is you werent on topic when i joined the channel and were calling someone out for being off topic. All i did was make a comment about what you said, you dont need to be toxic to everyone who jabs at you17:46
Guest77350ioria: unless I missed something I don't think it's mentioned there https://pastebin.com/REq4w7i9 .17:47

threehow about you be civil? its not much to ask17:55
Uqbarhello. I'm running 20.04 and I've noticed that when I enter the wrong password at the greeter, the delay before the systems accept new input is more than that specified in /etc/pam.d/login (which is 3 seconds). What happens is that after 3 seconds where the dialog shows a spinner, the text area appears as ready to accept input, but it actually doesn't for another 1.5 seconds. Is this intentional? Whe …17:55
Uqbar… re is it configured?17:56
shibbolethi'm pointing out several "issues" and referencing public data to back my claims. your response is "off topic" and when that fails, "not civil"17:56
coconutsomeone can +q shibboleth ?17:56

popeyYes, i work for canonical on Ubuntu17:56
threeuqbar its possible thats intended i've never messed with it. does making the delay longer affect anything?17:56
shibboleththere are multiple vulns in gnome and vlc17:56
shibbolethanyone in authority care to comment?17:57
shibbolethhttps://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/gdm3.html17:57
shibbolethand the reason i'm being somewhat assertive is the *fact* that some of these vulns have been known for *years*17:58
popeyYou're being assertive in the wrong place17:59
popeyto the wrong people17:59
threeWhat do you expect to get out of this? Go email canonical is you're that concerned. this is just the ubuntu support irc17:59
shibbolethwell, as i've said multiple times: someone in authority commenting on the actual issues.17:59
shibbolethsince fanboys apparently fanboying hasn't worked as of yet18:00

shibbolethhey, judging from you cloak you seem to be ub-affiliated18:00
shibboleththank you for pointing that out18:00

threeand you expect to find someone of authority in here? Most of us are users ourselves18:01
shibbolethpsutils18:01
shibbolethpopey, now, to be best of your knowledge, how come these vulns have been on the back-burner for years?18:01
rapidwaveGreat. I'm using a docker container and it says that package doesn't exist18:01
shibbolethrapidwave, my bad18:02
popeyAs I said, the deb is community maintained. Find someone in the Ubuntu community (not here) who can update it. I can ping someone, and will, but again, this isn't the place for this18:02
shibbolethtotally the wrong package name18:02
shibbolethpsmisc18:02
rapidwaveThat doesn't exist either18:03
rapidwaveI might know why...all apt sources are set to debian buster18:03
rapidwaveSpeaking of which, how do I check Distro and distro version using CMD?18:04
threeneofetch will give you this aswell as other information18:05
popeyrapidwave cat /etc/os-release18:06
threei didnt even know that file existed18:06
rapidwaveOkay, so yes, the container is using Debian 10 Buster18:06
popeyi suspect neofetch reads it :)18:06
rapidwaveI guess I need debian support then18:06

tomreynmacak: run this to get your current mainboard firmware:  journalctl -b | grep DMI:19:45
tomreynthen look on the vendor website for an update19:45

Piratygnome runs all sorts of things for you automatically19:57
Piratytrying to install linux-image, apt asks me to pick one of the many linux-image-foo packages instead (or along?) What's the most reliable way to install the default linux kernel package and stay with it and get the recommended updates for it? (i'm on 20.04)19:58
Piratyi.e. which is the current default kernel package, and how do i make sure to transition to the next when migrate to 20.10?19:59
tomreyninstall linux-image-generic20:01
Piratyah that looks like it20:01
Piratythanks tomreyn20:01
tomreynusually it'll already be installe,d though20:01
Piratysure20:02
memphistohi. torrent magnetic links won't get open with qbittorrent any more, but with Popcornt time...can't change this20:02
tomreynupon release upgrades, this will just depend on the latest versioned kernel in that release, so nothing do to on your part20:02
Piratythat's good20:02
Piratyi had to use newer kernels due to lack of hardware support back when i installed20:02
Piratynot sure why i would uninstall that one though20:02
tomreynif you're on 20.04, then there aren't newer maintained kernels at this time.20:03
macakI was also stuck with kernel version 3, because when i was upgrading kernel i had issues with screen flickering.20:04
macakPiraty opensuse has newer kernels.20:06
Piratyit's fine now, was't fine with 18.1020:07
Piratyhence i needed to restore default kernel package situation.20:07
Piratythanks tomreyn20:07
oerheksmacak, your Radeon 4650 is below specs of the open radeon driver, 5xxx and up20:07
Piraty(it's not my own machine)20:07
oerheksnothing we can do about that, sorry20:08
macakoerheks so i must buy new graphic card ?20:08
Velardemacak: Or you could configure something like Arch to find a way to make it work20:10
macakThanks20:11
macakI will buy new card i think so, intel20:12
tomreynmacak, oerheks: actually, man radeon on 18.04 lists "       RV710/RV730 Radeon HD 4330/4350/4550/4650/4670/5145/5165/530v/545v/560v/565v" as supported20:12
tomreynso that's radeon(4)20:13
macakYes20:13
macakMy graphic card is still supported by Ubuntu Kernel.20:13
macakI was reading on ubuntu site about that20:14
macakIt's driver bug i think so20:14
tomreynit's definitely old, but i don't see why you can't use it, yet, unless oerheks has more details20:14
macakright20:15
oerheksall i know; AMD dropped support for the Radeon HD 2xxx, 3xxx and 4xxx cards.20:15
oerheksR600 and R70020:16
macakI am getting not much screen flickering, but it's still there.20:17
macakWhen i open the browser then is much more.20:17

aardvark__I have a server and netstat shows only the VERY few ports that I expect to be open (ssh, http, https).  When I scan externally I find EXACTLY what I expect, EXCEPT that for some reason trying to connect by telnet to port 1688 just hangs, does not connect, does not get refused.  WHat is happening here?22:07
=== bparker_ is now known as bparker
bparkeraardvark__: could be a number of things, need more info22:11
bparkerperhaps you have a firewall and that port isn't being allowed through.22:11
aardvark__bparker: what else can I tell you22:11
bparkermaybe the daemon listening on that port is ignoring the requests (try to connect locally to verify)22:12
aardvark__there is no firewall other than iptables on either the machine I am probing from nor to, and there are no entries in there at this point other than what fail2ban has placed there and port 1688 is not there22:12
aardvark__bparker: I agree, but what daemon and why does netstat not show it.  And, tcp does NOT even connect22:13
bparkerdid you verify with e.g. tcpdump that requests to that port are actually being received by the OS22:13
bparker> what daemon <- if you don't know then why are you even looking at a specific port ?22:13
bparkerif you don't know what it is22:13
aardvark__bparker: I am not familiar with tcpdump, stand by please22:13
bparkernormally there is no 'telnet on port 1688' so you must have some idea what you're trying to connect to ?22:14
aardvark__bparker: it is a general port scan that is testing EVERY port, the auditors ran it first, discovered the porta nd asked what is happening there22:14
bparkeryou didn't mention that before22:14
aardvark__bpsecret: no, I am NOT trying to connec to anything, I am just scanning22:14
bparkerso is your actual question, how do I find out why port 1688 is open ?22:15
aardvark__bparker: I guess my question is more "why do I get a timeout when I try and connect".  I am not convinced it is really open.  As I say, I NEVER manage to connect22:15
bparkerthis sounds like a classic XY problem22:16
aardvark__bparker: excuse the igmorance, what is an XY problem22:16
bparkerwhen you ask how to solve a different problem than what you have22:16
bparkerso far what I've gotten from you is that 1. someone told you port 1688 is open, and 2. you cannot connect to it or find anything listening on that port, but 3. you want to somehow find out why something (that isn't listening) isn't responding?22:17
bparkerthe last bit really confuses me.22:17
bparkermaybe their scan is in fact what's wrong22:18
bparkerand it's not there22:18
bparkeryou could try doing your own scan22:18
bparkerbut if netstat shows nothing listening anyway, I wouldn't worry about it.22:18
aardvark__bparker: no they did not say that port 1688 was open, what the auditors said was that there is an anamoly on port 1688.  I tested, and I found the same anamoly22:18
bparkerand what 'anomaly' is that?22:19
aardvark__bparker: 1) Absolultely my own scan shows it.  In fact, I can even see the issue by just: telnet ipaddress 1688 - for any other port other than the ones I expect to be open, I get the refused, for the http/https/sshd I get a connect - for 1688 it just says "trying ..." and hangs22:20
bparkeryour own scan shows _what_ ?22:20
bparkeryou said it's not open22:20
bparkerso what does this scan say exactly22:20
bparkerand how did you scan22:20
bparkerand from where22:20
aardvark__bparker: my own scan shows, what I say here, I do NOT connect, but I do not get refused either22:21
aardvark__simplest svan I did was using telnet, as I say here.  And I have tested from our servers in vatious sites, countries and on different backbones22:21
bparkerwhat exact command did you use to check that the port is or is not open?22:21
bparkerand what commands did you use to check your iptables rules22:22
bparkerare you sure ufw is not also enabled?22:22
bparkers/open/listening/22:23
aardvark__bparker: from the repmotes I am just doing the telnet now, and as I say, the vakid ports connect, all other,except this one, refuse22:23
quadrathoch2aardvark__ wouldn't it just be better if you posted some logs showing us what's happening (removing the private stuff)22:24
aardvark__bparker: no ufw - in fact the server I am testing against  I literally just spun up to do this testing after I discovered that I could repeat what the auditors found22:24
bparkersudo netstat -lnt | grep 168822:25
bparkerdoes that show anything?22:25
aardvark__quadrathoch2: the log would be: telnet ip.address 1688 - trying ipaddress ...22:25
bparkerlol22:25
aardvark__bparker: the netstat shows nothing, as I hope, am intended to mention, at the start of this whole conversation22:26
quadrathoch2and your iptables and ufw?22:26
bparkerdid you actually run the exact command I pasted ?22:26
aardvark__quadrathoch2: no ufw and as I mentioned previously the ONLY entries in iptables are the couple of addresses that fail2ban has placed there22:26
bparkerplease post proof of that22:27
bparkerwith the commands used22:27
bparkersame for netstat22:27
aardvark__bparker: I just did your version, I had done it without the grep - with the grep, NOTHIN, without, the ports I expected22:27
bparkerI know you're frustrated but I think unless you start actually pasting these things, nobody is going to help much more22:28
aardvark__I'm happy to pate if you don't nmind if I redact the ip address, stand by22:29
bparkersure22:30
bparkeralso did you try telnetting from the box itself, to localhost, on port 168822:30
bparkerwhat happens then?22:30
bparkeryou might have to start getting into the network topology here, maybe this box is in front of something else that's doing this22:31
aardvark__bparker: and others:  pasted at: https://pastebin.com/u9QUYrvx22:34
bparkerplease don't use pastebin.com22:34
aardvark__bparker: yes, from the machine itself I DO get rejected.  SO, I am now starting to thnk it is in the NOC that they are somehow intercepting it22:35
bparkerso there is potentially more hardware inbetween that you never mentioned22:35
bparkerI love wild goose chases22:35

aardvark__bparker: there is ALWAYS more hardware - by definition a server is attached to the net through routers22:36
bparkerI think you know what I meant by that though22:36
bparkermore hardware as in something besides a final router on your premise that belongs to you, before the traffic leaves your own network22:37
bparkeror it could be that router itself22:38
aardvark__bparker: as far as I am aware there is nothing else thee, but clearly it is beginning to look like there MAY be - what I don't like about this theory is that I see the SAME  issue on my own servers-co-located and KVM instances at a variety of locations22:38
aardvark__bparker: yep - if all those NOCs are using routers that are similar, I agree - I find that hard to believe nut not impossible.  I had been assuming that the issue was a setting in the template that we spin up22:39
aardvark__We run almost 1200 servers scattered arounf the world22:39
bparkeragain, all of this information would have been more helpful in the beginning22:39
aardvark__that's why I said "what else do you want to know"22:40
bparkerit's not our job to always know how to ask all the right questions to get the info you need22:40
bparkerbecause you don't give us anything22:40
aardvark__I just spoke with Level3 - where the original server that has this issue is located and they now confirm it too and say that it is NOT any of their equipment.22:41
bparkerhelp us help you22:41
aardvark__I am now spinning up a virgin Ubuntu20.4 - not from my template - to see what I see there22:41
bparkerwait you're using VMs or containers or something?22:41
bparkerthat wasn't mentioned either22:41
bparkerthose facilities can also mess with networking22:42
bparkerit could be that they 'open' (let through without explicitly refusing, even if nothing is listening) that port by default for KMS purposes since windows activation uses it22:43
aardvark__bparker: NO - generaly we install from an ISO, it is just that the ISO was made from OUR machine22:43
aardvark__bparker: and everyone else - thanks so much for the help.  By spinning up a clean ubuntu20.4 and sticking it on a KVM I see NO PROBLEM,  With MY ISO I have the problem, so even though we are not aware of anything we did, there is something there - tyour patience got me to this point - thank you all so much22:44

oerheksgrinn22:45
bparkerI'm a bit confused how an entire OS was installed so fast since you're not using VMs or anything22:46
bparkerespecially the phrase "spin up" made me think it was a VM22:47
aardvark__bparker: as I just said - for my quick spin up test, I absilutely did spin up on a KVM, or acyually pair of KVMs22:48
aardvark__since I could see the same symptom on the KVM and on the bare-metal I just spun up the KVM, since it is quicker and less disruptive22:49
aardvark__genera;lly we like KVMs but since we do credit card processing we do not run live sites on them22:50
bparkerwhy would that matter if you're not storing PFI anyway (at least I hope you aren't)22:55
bparkernot storing or handling in any way*22:56
aardvark__bparker: even when you store nothing, for a short period they keys and the CCARD number have to be in memory, otherwise I could not transmit the CCARD number fro m the venue to the processing house.  In THEORY, on a shared machine there is a small risk of things like RowHammer being able to sniff that22:57
aardvark__we are certainly MORE cautious than we need to be - but that's what gets us the clients.  Almost 1200 active cients, some with MANY venues22:58
aardvark__bparker: but you are correct, we do not store ccard or like information other for the short time that it is passing through.  Actually PCI compliance requires that22:59
bparkeryou should never even be seeing people's card numbers23:00
bparkerthat problem has long been solved23:00
bparkeryou don't need your own PCI compliance if you let your merchant handle the PFI23:00
=== abirkill- is now known as abirkill
aardvark__bparker: the one other time we need to store a little, is when someone comes in and wants to run a tab.  We do scan their card at that time and need to keep that info until they check out, UNLESS the venue is one where they actually physically hold onto the card, in the latter case we just keep a salted hash of the card23:01
aardvark__bparker: we get MNUCH better rates for our clients by handling our own PCI compliamnce.23:02
bparkerwtf?23:02
bparkerthat sounds completely backwards and asinine23:02
bparkerthe less eyes a card sees, the better23:02
aardvark__but that is the way the banks work - the more you work with payment cards the wierder it gets - we've been doing this for thirty years23:03
bparkerwhat kind of rates are we talking here?23:03
aardvark__bparker: I 100% agree with you.  And I also believe that we should become like Europe where almost noone ever sees the card.  They bring the machine to the table, I put my card in, I enter my pin, I give them the card back23:03
aardvark__bparker: most of our clients are on a 5c scan no percentage.  Some chose a scan fee free but small fraction of a percent.  And some are higher, if their banks don't like them.  We have one granchise with arounf 1000 coffee shops, I believe he is actually gree with Visa and a scan fee for M/c and AmEx23:05
aardvark__and we have a loit of clients that are fee free with Discover23:05
aardvark__I guess Discover makes their moeny on finance fees23:06
aardvark__I do know that the fee thinbg is a horrible mess.  We jave a module tht estimates what the client will be paying and it has to have like 10 values enetered for each client when we set him up23:07
aardvark__we are processing many millions of dollars per day with Visa alone for our clients23:08
