[05:44] there is a way to install all app in kali linux? [05:46] no [05:46] :( [05:46] there is smart guy who can do it? [05:46] there is no smart guy who can do it? [05:47] !kali | futureRich [05:47] futureRich: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [05:48] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [05:48] all app in kali can be installed to ubuntu [05:48] :( [05:48] it is only linux app [05:48] leftyfb: [05:48] one by one, no? why no via brew? [05:48] futureRich: we cannot support kali or it's apps [05:49] it is not kali’s app :( it is linux app [05:49] but is is preinstalled [05:49] only [05:49] futureRich: to install apps in ubuntu, run: sudo apt install [05:50] futureRich: we can only support installing "linux apps" that are available in the official Ubuntu repositories [05:50] many packages can be installed via apt, snap or, if you want a bleeding edge apps, brew. [05:51] perroud: brew install something? perroud ? [05:51] if you know the all packages, hellyeah. but, into ubuntu, the best way: sudo apt install , indeed. [05:52] ok thanks but i recommend to make something that can install all app in kali at once [05:53] only one command [05:53] with only one command like : sudo apt-get install all-kali [05:55] futureRich, git clone to get katoolin3 and have phun. [05:56] i can do it with katoolin3? [05:57] go to github and readme.md [05:58] anyway, my unique recommendation, enable the universe repository into ubuntu [05:58] thanks perroud i will try it [05:58] :) [05:58] futureRich: perroud: please take the kali/kali apps/linux apps discussion elsewhere. #kali-linux is probably a good place [05:59] leftyfb: using brain. it is app instead of kali os :( [05:59] leftyfb, I'm talking about apps into ubuntu environment. thanks. [06:00] futureRich, got to github and read the instructions to install into ubuntu environment. ubuntu 20.04 is the best distro, of course. [06:01] thansk perroud :) [06:01] ah, one thing [06:02] use snap to install python. if you can, enable the automatic kernel updates, using the ubuntu account. [06:02] ok perroud :) [06:27] So, lets say I want the binaries of a package, but I don't want them configured (ie, like I don't want setup scripts to run, or setup the service to run automatically)... Is there a way to apt install a package and have it skip configuration for a package? [06:34] When using a touch tablet [06:34] sometimes it does this thing where it selects text or drags instead of just clicking [06:34] hrm [06:37] croepha2: sure...since configuration is a part of the installation procedure...simply don't install it...BAM! ..no configuration [07:28] Hey.

Assuming that you have both ufw and Samba installed of course [08:30] loxie: photorec [08:31] @abdulhakeem you just need the default, such as from a fresh install? i don't have samba installed right now, but could install it, if that's what you need. [08:31] yes please, it's not posted anywhere as far as I can tell [08:31] much appreciated :) [08:31] @abdulhakeem okay one moment [08:32] im not sure if the ufw package includes the Samba profile, or the Samba package adds it [08:32] but either way it should be there if both packages are installed AFAIK [08:33] @abdulhakeem installing now. btw, pakistan? [08:34] nah USA [08:34] I am Muslim though [08:34] @abdulhakeem ah ok. noticed your name, it's the same as a pakistani city [08:34] oh yeah it's a common Muslim name [08:35] but I'm an Alabama white boy [08:35] @abdulhakeem lol, gotcha. no such thing as "white" or "black", though. we're all either pale, tan or brown.

[09:56] lotuspsychje: well sure but compared to amd and nvidia there is a specific control panel where you can enable/disable various things - there is no such for intel gfx? [09:56] bewees: are you familiar with man pages, yet? [09:57] !man | bewes [09:57] bewes: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [09:58] bewees: here's the man page for what you're probably referring to (or run "man interfaces" after installing the "man-db" package) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man5/interfaces.5.html#inet6%20address%20family [09:58] "The auto Method" vs "The dhcp Method" [09:59] Apachez: not that i'm aware of [09:59] there used to be driconf, but this got outdated soon [10:03] Apachez: maybe this - unlike driconf it's been recently updated https://github.com/jlHertel/adriconf [10:04] the proper location is now https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/adriconf/ [10:05] tnx [10:10] https://flathub.org/apps/details/br.com.jeanhertel.adriconf [10:10] i suspect the screenshots will be of v 1.x, and 2.0 *may* look better ;) [10:10] Apachez: ^ [10:11] tomreyn: its quiet complicated for me. im still reading up m( [10:14] bewees: hmm, it may be for me as well, let's see... === grumble is now known as rawr [10:15] bewees: which ubuntu version are you running anyways? [10:15] tomreyn: im on 20.04 [10:15] why are you still using /etc/network/interfaces? [10:15] I think it was easier to setup bridges with it than with NetworkManager [10:16] i see. so this is a desktop? [10:16] i have both desktop and ubuntu server in my LAN, but the one with interfaces is a server [10:17] 18.04+ server defaults to systemd-networkd, 18.04+ desktop defaults to network manager [10:17] and server uses netplan for network configuration by default [10:18] hm its a long time i installed it the first time, not sure why I switched to interfaces [10:18] but configuration via interfaces file is still supported [10:18] 'Morning all [10:18] i think i had trouble to configure vlans and bridges and with interfaces i had success [10:18] i don't know what's the state with netplan and bridghes, there used to be dragons [10:19] -h [10:22] bewees: so i've copied the relevant parts to this pastebin: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/46MZqjcwKN/ [10:23] i don't understand this part "This method may be used to obtain network interface configuration via stateful DHCPv6 with dhclient." === ChattyMan2 is now known as ChattyMan [10:25] bewees: the main difference between "auto" and "dhcp" seems to be that "auto" receives configuration via RDNSS and additional configuration via stateless DHCPv6, whereas "dhcp" receives configuration via stateful DHCPv6 with dhclient [10:26] dhclient is a software, as is rdnssd, you'll need one of those if you're going to use stateless or stateful dhcpv6, i thnk [10:26] so I need to figure out if the dhclient hook i want to use is stateful or stateless. my guess is stateless, because it uses if and up hooks? [10:26] this is the hook I mean for dhcpv6 prefix delegation https://wiki.debian.org/IPv6PrefixDelegation#Assigning_the_prefix_to_another_interface [10:26] whether you'll do stateless or stateful dhcpv6 probably depends on what your dhcp server does. [10:27] and on whether it does RDNSS [10:27] or RA rather [10:28] i think it's stateless dhcpv6, it just sends out the PD to my downstream router, i think its not doing stateful IP assignments. the downstream router's WAN interface uses auto [10:28] so I think i have to use inet6 manual, because the dhclient hook manually changes the settings with if and up [10:28] maybe the easiest option is to just try it [10:29] before I asked i tried all variants without success :-) [10:29] i see. i'm still quite a noob in terms of ipv6, i'm afraid. [10:29] maybe someone else aroudn here is better at helping out there [10:29] but its good to know that we figured out that I don't need inet6 dhcp [10:30] :) [10:30] lol [10:34] also im not sure if I have to extrapolate to /64 from /59, /62 or /64. radvddump shows /59 and /64, quiet confusing https://dpaste.org/KFWU [10:34] at least my fritzbox shows /59 on the WAN interface [10:53] Hi guys i had a problem yesterday with filesystem. The issue was resolved with the help of mad guy, i forgot his nick. However i noticed that the process i really slow, so i reinstalled the os, since i couldnt find a fix but after reinstalling. Im directed to this screen [10:54] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/QnyQDYjT/IMG20200725184818.jpg [10:56] juanonymous: the easiest fix for this is probably to reinstall again. some of configuration you made during installation must have failed, or you booted in a different boot mode than you installed in.

[11:05] FutureRich, which app ? [11:05] so i can install all app of kali in ubuntu manually? [11:06] or almost [11:06] or 80% [11:06] there might be an ubuntu equivalent [11:09] FutureRich, not recommended, dependencies will be different, so the app won't work IMO. [11:10] FutureRich: for the record, the ubuntu repos have a lot of pentesting tools on it aswell you can just install [11:10] not all, but a lot [11:11] anyone know where user crontabs are stored offhand? === Gnexally3 is now known as Gnexally [11:13] ok /var/spool/cron/crontabs [11:13] :) [11:16] hello, I got a new desktop and tried to install Ubuntu 20.04 but during installation, it cannot find my hard drive and complain my PC only has 8GB of storage. [11:16] https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201912-27625 [11:17] This is my PC and it says it was certified by Ubunu. [11:17] leeijaw: ubuntu wants 8GB+ space these days to be able to proceed [11:17] since 18.04 if i can recall [11:18] But I can boot into the live Ubuntu and it doesn't see my hard drive which is 512 GB of SSD [11:19] When I boot into the live Ubuntu "Try Ubuntu", it only shows my USB as the only block device out there. === Gnexally0 is now known as Gnexally [11:20] leeijaw: is it an nvme? [11:20] there is only one /dev/sda which is my USB drive. This is definitely not right. [11:21] I don't know. I am out in the cafe with laptop now. [11:21] https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201912-27625 [11:22] The spec is pretty much the same as listed in the above link. [11:22] leeijaw: nvme yeah, try to click 'advanced partitioning' [11:22] The CPU is a i7 though. [11:22] !partitioning | leeijaw [11:22] leeijaw: For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap [11:23] instead of booting into live mode, try booting into Install [11:24] or when partitioning, try to delete all existing partitions first, and then install on the entire drive [11:25] I tried "booting into install" first it doesn't work so then I boot into the live to see what happened there. [11:25] leeijaw, also contains a spinner drive ST500DM009-2F110A [11:26] My spec only has a SSD and there is no HDD [11:26] I did open GParted and it also shows only one USB drive. [11:26] did you try blowing in it? [11:26] leeijaw, take a look at the disk spec in your list [11:28] I guess that the SSD is in RAID mode and not AHCI :/ [11:29] leeijaw: ^ this would be the case if you bought it with windows pre-installed, not ubuntu [11:29] I will try your suggestions later when I am home since I am out. [11:30] Yes, it was pre-installed with Windows. I never heard of a PC preinstalled with linux here in my country. [11:30] I heard Free-DOS though. [11:30] I try to set up dual Windows and GNU/Linux setup. [11:31] My work requires me to have a Windows environment here and there. For example, SketchUp doesn't runs on GNU/Linux. [11:33] it probably would in a VM, but 3d performance would suffer [11:33] install windows first then, ubuntu second. [11:34] quadrathoch2: Do you suggest that I enter the BIOS setup and toggle some settings there? For example, the AHCI thing you just mentioned. [11:34] @leeijaw have you tried playonlinux? just found this, but haven't tested it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2wSXfnxMf0 [11:34] leeijaw the AHCI mode should suffice. but idk if windows will need to be reinstalled after that :/ [11:35] i also wanted to point out that there is an option for wine, but I didn't recommend it, as it's stuff for business, so it should rather work perfectly than some hacky way to install it on linux [11:36] it's been a while since i've used it, but wine used to piss me off [11:38] hi all [11:39] when i execute a binary with +x permissions, the error pops up " not found" [11:40] googleing gave me the hint of missing libs. [11:41] but right now i am unable to figure out which are missing. ldd lists all. [11:41] muh2000: which ubuntu version are you running? which architecture? does the software match the ubuntu architecture? how are you executing the software? [11:43] lsb_release -ds; uname -a [11:46] Ubuntu 20.04 LTS; Linux 4981c1293486 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 00:24:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux; amd64; in a docker container. on the same host without docker, executing works; docker works as well; for me it shows me that a lib is missing. i had this issue one year ago but forgot what i did. [11:50] muh2000: what'sthe software you'Re trying to run, where do you have it from? what's the full output when you try running it now? [11:51] and where'S this docker image from / which one is it? [11:51] i think lsb-core is just missing, testing. [11:58] tomreyn: https://github.com/finogeeks/Ligase/blob/develop/INSTALL.md this one [12:00] when you got answers to all the questions, ping me again [12:00] "Ligase" a matrix homeserver docker container [12:00] ./start.sh: 29: ./bin/engine-server: not found [12:01] when trying to run the docker image/container [12:01] pong tomreyn [12:04] okay, i don't know this software, nor this script, so can't help there. try getting support from the developers. [12:07] the software works (without docker). with docker there is the issue of the binaryfile that "cannot" be found. for me it sounds like missing libs in the container. but i am too dumb to figure out which. [12:13] @muh2000 join #docker, the people there would know better, although the channel is sleepy [12:14] yeah, maybe some came accross a similar issue :) [13:13] on focal, how can I get a list of all apt package names available in the currently configured apt repos? [13:14] could anyone get openvswitch meter support with openvswitch kernel module shipped by bionic's linux-module? [13:14] Sven_vB i guess it's just easier to browse packages.ubuntu.com (as it's also easier to depict info imho [13:15] it seems to have meter support (4.15 version should have support and i see symbols in modinfo) but doesn't work for me with userspaec v2.13 [13:18] quadrathoch2, thanks for pointing out the missing aspects in my question. :-) I should add: on CLI, to diff them with my wishlist of packages so I know which ones to postpone. [13:19] apt list? Sven_vB [13:20] I am back home now and currently at the BIOS setup screen. The SATA option was indeed in RAID mode. The text says "SATA is configured to support RAID mode (Intel Rapid Restore Technology)". Before I proceed to change it to AHCI, I wonder if there is any performance loss by switching to AHCI. [13:21] quadrathoch2, oh, nice! much easier than I expected. thanks! [13:22] leeijaw I never noticed any difference (as I tested that on windows [14:00] sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward : permission denied [14:00] what's wrong? [14:00] very strange it is sudo [14:00] what are you trying to do? [14:01] oerheks, it is not important [14:01] oke, have fun [14:02] i would quote the echo command, as sudo need to kick in [14:02] or the systemd way; sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [14:10] should this script work on ubuntu too? https://wiki.debian.org/IPv6PrefixDelegation#Assigning_the_prefix_to_another_interface [14:10] or do you spot something incompatible? [14:19] sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [14:19] bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied help me what's wrong? i need help of skilled person [14:20] try to quote it? sudo "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" [14:20] then it is not command? [14:20] anyway, as you refuse to share, no skilled person can help you firther [14:20] wild guessing is not my cup of tea [14:21] sudo "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" sudo: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: command not found [14:21] oerheks, [14:22] what's wrong? :( [14:22] FutureRich, she asks what you are trying to do [14:22] ah oerheks how can i get root? [14:25] how can i become superuser? [14:25] coconut, ? [14:25] sudo su - [14:25] how about sudo -i? jduggan ? [14:26] FutureRich: yesterday you were asking how to install all packages from kali linux into ubuntu and now today you don't even know how to gain root access or understand how root/sudo works? [14:27] oh leftyfb :) can i know another guy who help me? [14:27] i forget his name :( [14:27] FutureRich: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [14:27] i want to tell guy thanks [14:28] leftyfb, stop plz [14:28] you opposed me yesterday [14:28] x( [14:28] i m not dude === jess is now known as j [14:47] sudo apt-get install python-twisted-web <--- unable to locate package python-twisted-web. what's wrong? [14:48] FutureRich: what version of ubuntu are you running? [14:49] FutureRich: Looks like that is only available for 19.10 [14:49] DJones: that is not correct [14:50] part of twisted [14:50] https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/bionic-updates/twisted [14:50] 20.04 DJones [14:50] oh, gone indeed https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/twisted [14:50] oerheks, then i can't install it? [14:50] leftyfb: Thats all shows up searching for "twisted" on ubuntu packages [14:51] maybe because of the drop of python2 support ? [14:51] ah [14:52] DJones: if it were phrased as "looks like that is only available up to 19.10, but not beyond" then it would be correct :) [14:52] leftyfb: Now showing up for older release [14:53] Hi, I'm using a 5120 x 1440 screen on 20.04 and the taskbar is tiny, but all other titlebars are fine? [14:53] DJones: it's in 18.04 [14:53] I can't see anything in Gnome Tweaks to increase it [14:53] no, FutureRich, the reason is; All the code has been moved to python-twisted-core, this package contains only documentation and is going to be removed. [14:54] See https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7964. [14:54] thanks oerheks [14:54] have fun [15:02] ren0v0 it should be under settings, display [15:04] quadrathoch2, "Screen Display" has only 4 options, unrelated to taskbar. [15:07] I guess you are looking for fractional scaling ren0v0 [15:08] quadrathoch2, ?? [15:08] quadrathoch2, I don't think you have a clue what I'm referring to it seems [15:09] It's quite simple, Gnome is showing my titlebars font as say 14px but the taskbar as 12px [15:09] It means the system tray icons are also tiny, compared to say minimise and maximise on title bars. [15:10] Ahh, sorry I misunderstood you then [15:25] Hi, I am trying to format a usb stick with Gparted, but it gives me an error, what can I do? [15:27] @Mat63 what's the error? [15:27] Now i describe it [15:29] it says "filesystem: unassigned""Attention: / dev / sdb: disk label not recognized" [15:30] Mat63: are you using it from a CD? [15:31] no [15:32] is /dev/sdb using latin characters (like english and spanish use) or something else? [15:33] @Mat63 ^^ [15:34] si [15:34] @Mat63 try zeroing out the disk first with dd [15:34] yes [15:34] @Mat63 sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 [15:35] @Mat63 after you do that, try creating a new partition table and then installing [15:35] ok [15:35] memory size is 8Gb [15:35] @Mat63 just to double check, /dev/sdb is currently empty, right? [15:36] no [15:36] its content is not important [15:36] @Mat63 is there something installed there right now? something that you want to keep? [15:36] ah ok [15:36] @Mat63 then yes, from the command line, run that command and try again [15:37] ok [15:39] cannot be opened media not found [15:41] I will check that the port of entry is correct, and continue [15:41] brb [15:49] I'm going to use Boot Creator, (where it does recognize it) and I'm going to create a bootable usb with ubuntu and see what happens [15:49] cool [15:52] Mat63, you can use gnome disks too if boot creator has no success [15:53] I have a problem with libvirth-qemu-kvm. Setting up a new virtual machine it tries to set up a storeage under /var. On my machine var is a partion only 40 Gb in size and never been scaled to be large enought for a virtual disk. So I set up a storage area in /usr/local/lib/libvirt/images. Now i get an error under setup invonling apparmour. What do I do? Set this directory in some way so can see it. I know app armour fililes are in /etc/appar [15:53] mour.d [15:53] yes [15:54] Also i set the user to libvirth and the group to kvm for /vrithm/images [15:55] Yes, I am going to use it, it has given me optimal results in the past, I almost forgot [15:55] lol [15:57] there it is, it works like a good orchestra [16:00] thank you coco [16:01] thank you WyZeGuY [16:02] In addition to practicing informatics, practicing good manners [16:03] np [16:03] Sorry to barge in on your egotrip like that.. [16:04] I found a way to change to AHCI without reinstalling Windows. Simply set next boot into safemode under Windows by either GUI or bcdedit. Reboot into BIOS setup and change the setting and reboot again into windows safe mode. It will automatically detects the change. [16:04] younder: who are you talking to? [16:05] then reboot again into Windows to see if anything works. [16:05] leeijaw great :) [16:05] leeijaw, wrong channel [16:06] Definitely not. I was trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS [16:07] Ubuntu installer won't recognize my hard drive when SATA mode is set to RAID. [16:09] leeijaw, if it is a RAID it is not a drive. It creates a new device which involves all the devices in the RAID. Also are you using BIOS to set up the RAID or Linux? [16:11] I guess it was not a RAID since I only have one SSD. My new desktop pre-installed with Windows and the default BIOS setup is with SATA mode RAID on (Intel Rapid Restore Technology). [16:11] younder he is talking about SATA mode, which is a intel thing (afaik) so nothing to do with actual RAID [16:13] leeijaw, lol. OK. soory [16:17] When you install ubuntu, on the disk, it may be that you do not have default options, to use a logical partition that I create myself? [16:18] and that rather it is installed where "it feels like it"? [16:19] I am now in the installation wizard now. I tick the "install third-party software for graphics and wifi hardware and additional media formats". It asks me to set up Secure Boot. What is that? [16:19] I admit that I do not yet have the technical ability to know how to do certain things [16:20] secure boot/uefi, that is oke [16:20] !uefi [16:20] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [16:28] any idea why when i hit the right arrow it key it moves the screen im using over half screen at a time? [16:28] right arrow key* [16:31] Is btrfs worth setting up? [16:31] or zfs? [16:31] leeijaw: depends [16:33] can i install driftnet on ubuntu? [16:33] if you computer/notebook has more than 8gb of ram, you could give a try on ZFS [16:33] FutureRich https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/driftnet ? [16:33] !zfs [16:33] For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [16:34] quadrathoch2, what do you mean? [16:34] I have 16 GB. I tried BTRFS before and see practical gains on my own side. [16:34] quadrathoch2, interesting responce; what do you mean? [16:34] :-D [16:34] No practical grain [16:34] xD [16:34] gain [16:34] he was looking for installing driftnet xD [16:34] how can i install drift net? [16:34] help me plz [16:35] i m too tired now [16:35] I believe ex4 will be sufficient for most of my use case. [16:35] first, what is drifnet : ) [16:35] sorry for the question [16:35] FutureRich: you install it like any other package [16:35] FutureRich, you can check it with apt policy driftnet [16:35] oh [16:35] hint: it is in universe [16:35] thansk leftyfb and coconut [16:35] leeijaw: use ext4, i think will be the best for u [16:35] i used zfs on freebsd a long time ago [16:38] FutureRich: i'm going to take a wild guess with all the discussion around kali, ip_forward, driftnet an your refusal to read documentation or explain your goals that your goals are either legitimate pentesting or the more likely, malicious behavior. Please take the time to read the almost infinite amount of documentation online about what it is you are trying to work out before asking here. And also, don't do stupid things. It's not worth it. [16:39] How to interpret the test bench data? [16:40] leftyfb, you are wrong idea. i don't do it like you said [16:40] FutureRich: then you should have no problem explaining your goals when asking for help [16:40] it is privacy of min [16:40] e [16:41] you don't need to know it [16:41] volunteers need some info. without, you are on your own. [16:41] privacy is very import to live now [16:44] Average read rate: 20.2 Mb / sAverage write rate: 3.3 Mb / sAverage access time: 0.87 msec [16:45] Are these values bad, fair or good? [16:45] for a sata2 disk, not bad [16:46] (It is an 8Gb usb memory) [16:46] FutureRich: if privacy is important to you, you might be interested in the Description for the driftnet util you are asking about. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/driftnet.1.html#description [16:47] "Driftnet watches network traffic, and picks out and displays JPEG and GIF images for display. It is an horrific invasion of privacy and shouldn't be used by anyone anywhere." [16:47] perfect for kali-noobs [16:48] leftyfb, you are too worried but i don't do anything :( [16:48] leftyfb, don't worry i m not strange [17:00] CryptographyDeprecationWarning <--- it mean that i can use app or not?

[17:02] what it mean? i can use app ? [17:02] oerheks, ? [17:03] error says no [17:03] no? [17:03] i can't use app? === tds6 is now known as tds [17:04] interesting, keep on asking [17:04] oh, we do not support kali here. [17:17] can i know what it means? Failed to create secure directory (/root/.config/pulse): Permission denied [17:18] it means you're doing something wrong [17:18] we love to wild guess .. [17:18] I can call do-release-upgrade from a terminal to starte an upgrade. How do I do the same from X, to avoid doing it in a terminal? [17:18] FutureRich: FutureRich: and since you refuse to tell us what you are doing, we cannot help you [17:19] mr_lou, how about the regulare update tool? [17:19] !ltsupgrade [17:19] Regular upgrades from the last but one LTS release to the latest LTS release, 20.04 "Focal Fossa", are enabled days or weeks after 20.04.1 is released. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d [17:19] oerheks, Yea, sounds logical. But I'm not seing any "Upgrade available" anywhere when starting that. Weird. [17:19] mr_lou: the GUI upgrade tool will no allow you to upgrade to 20.04 till 20.04.1 is released [17:20] afaik, after august 6 20.04.1 release, the upgrade path will be released [17:20] This is old 14.04 going to 16.04 and then to 18.04 (old Intel Compute Stick) [17:20] mr_lou: then I would highly recommend using the CLI [17:20] leftyfb, lol you did help me from yesterday lo [17:20] oke, then you need the EOL upgrade method [17:20] !eolupgrade [17:20] End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:21] don't stop me only plz leftyfb [17:21] with the old-versions part.. [17:21] i don't need your help leftyfb [17:21] FutureRich: then stop asking [17:21] FutureRich, then don't ask kali questions in here [17:21] i asked someone except you [17:21] !kali | FutureRich [17:21] FutureRich: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [17:22] mkay thanks leftyfb [17:22] i never said about kali [17:22] :( [17:22] bye [17:53] hello [17:56] :-) [17:59] Usually official open-source projects publish their source code in git repositories (github, gitlab, their own servers) but many of them are distribution-agnostic, so don't provide .deb packages, but just instructions on how to build the program from source code. Who creates official .deb packages for these kind of projects? How can I repeat the process that Ubuntu maintainers do to create these .deb packages? [18:00] cfoch: we usually recommend getting the packages into Debian first, with a maintainer, then they'll automically be synced into Ubuntu === gnoob19 is now known as gnoob [18:01] cfoch: Debian has a Mentor programme to help new maintainers/packages get included and to find maintainers for packges that don't have one. Another route is to contribute the debianisation to the upstream project to make its acceptance into Debian easier [18:04] In specific, I want to build https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/ffmpeg to figure out why a program I have behaves different in Ubuntu Bionic... how can I start? [18:06] cfoch: but ffmpeg is already debianised! [18:07] I know it. But as I said I want to repeat the process that Debian package maintainers did to create the deb package. [18:08] cfoch: oh, well in such a complex package that'd take some doing ! [18:08] Not because I want to contribute to Debian/Ubuntu repositories, but because I want to debug something. [18:08] I want to put modify the code, package it, install it and see what happens. [18:10] found a solution to the audio output switch issue [18:10] https://github.com/adaxi/audio-output-switcher [18:10] thought i would share [18:11] cfoch: you can do that from the current package. Ensure the deb-src: stanzas are in APT's sources.list, 'apt update' then 'apt-get source ffmepg' then edit code. Best to make it a git repo locally to make handling it easier, then make Quilt-style debian/patches/ with the changes and bump the version with a ~$YOUR_VER in debian/changelog, or use "dch -i" [18:12] and !build [18:12] cfoch: see for Quilt https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt [18:14] catbeard: see also 3.2 of https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html [18:14] oops, sorry catbeard [18:14] cfoch: see also 3.2 of https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html [18:18] TJ-: how do I do this part "Ensure the deb-src: stanzas are in APT's sources.list" [18:19] (y) [18:19] mmm...ahhh... [18:19] ok, I see [18:19] cfoch: identical line to existing deb: but starts "deb-src:" instead [18:20] how are the steps to install google, from the terminal? [18:20] Mat63: Google isn't installable [18:21] install google? [18:21] sudo apt install google [18:21] do you mean chrome or something? [18:21] I guess he/she refers to chrome [18:21] he/she/x * [18:23] ok [18:23] =# [18:23] get the chrome deb on the google page, it installs the repo and key [18:23] Just download https://www.google.com/chrome/?brand=CHBD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1IX--ILp6gIVQ4CRCh1tRw0BEAAYASAAEgLSfPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds [18:23] dpkg -i package.deb [18:23] or [18:23] apt install ./package.deb [18:23] yes [18:24] the "./" is important [18:24] double click works too [18:24] mentioned terminal [18:25] (y) (y) [18:25] 2 click lol [18:25] or just "apt install chromium-browser" and avoid the Google tracking [18:25] !info chromimu-browser [18:25] Package chromimu-browser does not exist in focal [18:26] !info chromium-browser [18:26] chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Transitional package - chromium-browser -> chromium snap.

[18:28] This is how the cookie breaks [18:29] bleh, since when "apt install chromium-browser" forwards to snap from inside apt? [18:29] coconut since chromium is only snap (20.04) [18:30] Download the package, and double click, It seems that there is an administrator / program that installed everything correctly [18:31] This Ubuntu 20.04 looks great [18:31] quadrathoch2, bad bad bad if you ask me..., it even auto-installs it without confirmation if i really want to do that. [18:32] coconut: several packages do that in their postinst script. LXD is another [18:32] coconut yeah that's what I don't like about it. on the other hand what linuxmint does is also not correct (it blocks snap install chromium, and even snapd itself) [18:33] TJ-, i think it should at least ask me before doing snap things.(otherwise i would have just started snap by myself) [18:33] coconut: I agree 100% - I disable snap via DNS now [18:34] coconut: redirects to our own server that returns empty results [18:34] TJ-, what domain is that? for snap?

[18:41] yep [18:42] went to re-apt install it did not get new.. [18:43] please explain what you try to do, what guide do you follow? [18:44] How can I start to repair damaged discs? [18:45] Mat63, live iso and the filesystemtroubleshoot wiki [18:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [18:46] Thanks, you are fast cowboy [18:46] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1250289/is-it-possible-to-use-compiz-with-gnome-flashback-on-ubuntu-20-04 [18:46] unrelated to intramfs .. unable to decode (at boot) [18:48] so, you switched to "GNOME Flashback (Compiz)" session during login. [18:48] ? [18:49] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1245458/getting-the-message-0-283078-initramfs-unpacking-failed-decoding-failed-wh [18:49] TJ-: good, as expected now [18:49] yes was already -always in flashback/compiz [18:50] upgrade took place in that too [18:52] Hello world! I had a question regarding snap. I have removed it and after trying to install something from repos find nothing. Is 20.04 only installing apps from snaps? [18:53] Relevant bug report: Bug #1835660 hp15Silver laptop 15-ac143wm [18:53] usr1987, if you disabled snaps, lots of software will not be found, hahah [18:53] bug 1835660 in linux (Ubuntu) "initramfs unpacking failed" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 [18:53] tyvm [18:54] !snap [18:54] Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage. For more info, see https://snapcraft.io [18:54] but i dunno wha with compiz [18:54] IntelCore, me neither [18:54] i miss wobbly windows though [18:55] ubottu: I know... I just find them slow even on my i5, 16gb with nvme drive [18:55] usr1987: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:55] hmm, I only see 1 desktop bottom right side..not 4, and can't cude [18:55] snap use chrome? [18:56] some posted it does [18:56] no, chromium-browser [18:56] yea [18:57] cas of that, they complain [18:58] anywhoo..i chk ccsm settings [19:08] IntelCore: I updated the initramfs bug report with details of why the message appears [19:08] lz compression issue [19:09] compress=gzip in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf fixed it. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1245458/getting-the-message-0-283078-initramfs-unpacking-failed-decoding-failed-wh [19:09] but that would be an awkward fix.. [19:10] not necessarily; there seems to be a problem related to Ubuntu initramfs images having multiple parts, some uncompressed. Specifically, the early microcode part is not compressed so the kernel assumes the entire file is not compressed [19:10] that early microcode part is prefixed to the compressed rootfs [19:11] oerheks or rebuilding a new initramfs fixes it [19:11] 14.04 when I started.. 16.04 reduced and partial upgraded to 18.04..before this 20.04 [19:11] this 20.04 removed a load of things.. [19:18] bottom bar pushes icons to the right now. [19:19] Is there a question in that? [19:19] software&updates-cache refresh..long time? [19:20] spawning random observations, i am out. [19:20] oerheks, no.. just noticing. [19:20] ty tho === IntelCore is now known as MrSteve [19:23] hi ! [19:23] I'm trying to install Epson drivers for my printer [19:23] TJ-: I have the source code now from doing "apt source ffmpeg" ... how do I create a deb package from it? [19:23] but the distribute them as *.deb.tar.gz [19:23] and when I unpackit I get a directory [19:23] tried to make a .deb package from it with dpkg-deb but it doesn't work [19:23] how can I unpack it to 1 file? [19:28] ffmpeg.. [19:29] https://ffmpeg.org/ [19:29] !build [19:29] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [19:35] software updater hung [19:39] Repeating this question that I asked maybe a couple of days ago: I have a strange issue on my laptop (Ubuntu 20.04), which popped up some time over the last few weeks (never experienced it before that): I open a text file in gedit or some other program, and type some stuff and just leave the laptop idle. After some random amount of time, it will backspace all by itself until the whole file is erased, and [19:39] starts to beep continuously like gedit does when you hit backspace on an empty file, until I mash some keys to make it stop. After that, my backspace key sometimes stops registering, until I hit shift+backspace which seems to "fix" it for a while. Does anybody have some tips on how I could troubleshoot this? Somebody here suggested that I create another user account to see if the same thing happens with that, [19:39] and it does. But when I boot into Windows I don't have this issue (nor did I with Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.10 for the past 2 years). [19:41] cfoch: "sudo apt-get build-dep $PACKAGE" then in the base directory "fakeroot debian/rules binary" [19:41] furkan: any chance you just need some compressed air to blow it out? [19:42] some time passes.. [19:42] gnoob: in Ubuntu it usually just takes a few minutes to happen, but I left Windows running overnight and nothing happened... so I don't think it's a physical issue [19:44] furkan: could be an ACPI issue with newer kernels - a regression or possibly tighter implementation fo the ACPI interpreter. Possible workaround: https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [19:46] TJ-: thanks a lot i will try this [19:46] software updater won't close [19:46] spinning pointer [19:49] compiz install is vers. 0.9.14.1 [19:53] how to see what the distribution upgrade removed? [19:54] MrSteve: /var/log/apt/ and I think there will also be a /var/log/dist-upgrade/ or upgrade/ or some such [19:55] oh tyvm TJ [20:03] python3-compizconfig:amd64 (1:0.9.14.1+20.04.20200211-0ubuntu1, automatic) [20:04] that.. killed my compiz functionality. [20:04] py 2.7 onboard [20:05] you think if get python 3? [20:07] focal comes with python3 solely .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes [20:07] as python2.7 is EOL, dead jim [20:07] whoa [20:07] applications showing 2.7 [20:08] 2.7 18rc1 [20:10] compiz:amd64 (1:0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302-0ubuntu1, 1:0.9.14.1+20.04.20200211-0ubuntu1) [20:10] lets look for py 3 [20:11] let us know when you find it :-P [20:12] hmm.. [20:15] it seems there's no longer a package xubuntu-restricted-extras in focal, has it been renamed/merged or something? [20:17] software updater spinning still [20:20] Sven_vB: Might be part of ubuntu-restricted-extras now [20:20] Make xubuntu-restricted-extras a transitional package depending on [20:20] ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:20] thanks! [20:26] Python 3.8.2 found (edit menus) [20:26] compiz not py 3? [20:28] looks like everything is installed, but ctrl+alt+mouse, and other keys do not affect desktop [20:44] bbiab re [20:54] I cannot write to ntfs partitions as before since I upgraded from 18 to 20.x ubuntu version. What should I do? [20:56] whats the error message, which action fails exactly? [20:56] tomreyn: readonly filesystem [20:56] for mkdir [20:56] run chkdsk /F on it in windows [20:56] sounds like dirty bit set; faulty filesystem or files, run a fsck [20:57] oerheks: was working before dist upgrade [20:57] actually all partitions [20:57] I have 3 I think [20:57] sure, and now it is not. [20:57] ok, runing fsck [20:58] if any ask.. install distribution upgrade, compiz needs ALL settings rechecked. [20:59] oerheks: how to check ntfs with fsck again? [20:59] best do that from windows [21:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [21:01] about decode bug, do I just ignore and wait ? [21:02] MrSteve: if you 're hoping to get help with anything here, be sure to provide !details [21:03] MrSteve, wait for what? compiz is a gnome2 relic [21:03] there are probably not a lot of people using compiz on anything later than and including 18.04 === tds7 is now known as tds [21:06] oerheks: corrected, thanks [21:07] oerheks: I wonder why would an upgrade make partition dirty [21:07] Well..it works.

[22:22] When using Linux-Mint virtual-box Do I need to have the ISO of the OS That I want to Emulate? [22:24] system619: you want to run another OS inside linux mint? I am not an expert but I think you will need the .ISO. [22:27] system619: this channel supports ubuntu only [22:33] gnoob thx br0 [22:34] The only reason why I came in here is cuz linux-mint is ubuntu [22:34] system619: try #linuxmint-help on spotchat IRC or forums.linuxmint.com [22:34] jeremy31: thank you [22:34] people still using mint? [22:34] lol [22:34] system619: if you have Mint installed, see the welcome window, support, irc chat [22:35] there is no welcome screen anymore, but thank again. [22:35] * gnoob going to joint #mint [22:37] so you can't leave us hanging what's wrong with linux mint? [22:38] gnoob: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:38] they have their own issues. [22:39] jeremy31: will do. Will stay more on topic from now on. [22:52] Hello everyone! I have been trying to make Xdmx work with my two laptops, but I keep getting errors which go like this: "xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1". Can anybody help me fix this issue? [22:53] ondrejoda: looks like you didn't configure correctly, at least 1 is expected where you have ZERO [22:54] ondrejoda: you probably should find some documentation to follow [22:54] ondrejoda: or reference [22:55] tatertotz: i mean, i scouted through google and couldnt find anything [22:55] tatertotz: no man page as well [22:56] tatertotz: the command i am using is startx -- /usr/bin/Xdmx +xinerama -display licalhost:11.0 - display :0.0 -norender .ignorebadfontpaths [22:56] licalhost:11.0 [22:56] just noticed it [22:56] *localhost [22:56] - display [22:57] also, everything is going through an ssh tunnel [22:58] If I'm upgrading from Bionic to Focal, is it necessary to ppa-purge everything? What about locally compiled software? [22:58] I've heard conflicting opinions on this [22:58] I remember going from mint 18.1 to 19.1, i didnt do anything like that and everything worked just fine [22:59] Kon: i say, yes, i know others who do, too, and i have not seen anyone saying you don't need to. [22:59] ondrejoda as long as your ppas are supporting the newer version, that should be fine. but it's not always teh case [23:00] ondrejoda: which ubuntu version are you running where you are trying to use Xdmx? [23:00] ubuntu 19.10 and lubuntu 18.10 [23:01] ondrejoda: have you EVER successfully done xdmx before? yes / no [23:01] never [23:02] this is my first time [23:02] "note that GLX support and default display bit depth are common issues that will prevent Xdmx from running correctly." [23:02] i tried it with and without the -noglxproxy argument, both not working [23:03] note: both of my computers dont have graphics cards [23:03] ondrejoda: hmm seems like a complex task that only very advanced users should attempt, many things need to be configured and verified excluding the additional layer of complexity of your tunnel [23:03] damn [23:04] ondrejoda: good luck on that though [23:04] i mean, i would love to do it without ssh, but the thing is i dont know how [23:04] ondrejoda: also please note that both of the releases yoiu quoted are !eol [23:05] ondrejoda: if the PCs don't have graphics cards how are they able to drive a display!? [23:05] APU [23:06] AMD E2-7110 1.8ghz and Intel Celeron clocking at a whopping 1.6ghz! [23:06] ondrejoda: IMO ...you've bit off too much there...trial and error until success [23:07] oh [23:07] so there /is/ a GPU, just it's integrated Radeon R2 into the CPU package! [23:08] jup [23:08] pain to play with [23:09] ondrejoda: also bear in mind that xdmx has very few casual users; mostly its used in combination with tools like Chromium for specialist/large display walls [23:10] oh [23:11] I need a tool can do bulk rename of filenames [23:11] ondrejoda: there are six steps minimal for a xdmx configuration, only for advanced users especially if the terminology of the six steps reads like a foreign language to you [23:12] ondrejoda: To establish an Xdmx desktop involves the following steps automated so that the construction appears transparent: [23:12] analogical doesn't the tool help where you have multiple files selected and then click rename? [23:12] ondrejoda: 1. on each system configure and initiate a minimal X session; a minimal twm session is enough [23:12] don't know if ithas a name (but it's in nautilus - files) [23:12] yes [23:12] ondrejoda: 2. authorise the master system to access X resources on each remote system (use xhost +) [23:12] ok i will have to look that up [23:12] ondrejoda: 3. install xorg-server-xdmx[broken link: package not found] on the master system [23:13] ondrejoda: 4. initiate a minimal X session on the master system [23:13] ondrejoda: 5. configure the desired Xdmx session [23:13] hold up [23:13] quadrathoch2, I don't understand how that tool works [23:13] ondrejoda: 6. initiate the Xdmx session with an appropriate window manager as a working desktop [23:13] apt cant find the package on pint 3 [23:14] *point [23:14] !info xdmxconfig | ondrejoda have you tried using [23:14] ondrejoda: and if all that sounds like a foreign language.....you're in over your head....and you should probably find something else to do [23:14] ondrejoda have you tried using: Package xdmxconfig does not exist in focal [23:14] ubottu: i am using eoan [23:14] ondrejoda: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:14] !info xdmx-tools | ondrejoda and use 'xdmxconfog' [23:14] ondrejoda and use 'xdmxconfog': xdmx-tools (source: xorg-server): Distributed Multihead X tools. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.20.8-2ubuntu2.2 (focal), package size 54 kB, installed size 476 kB [23:15] ok apt found that, thanks! [23:15] I need a tool can do bulk rename of filenames [23:15] my typing is going to pot! "xdmxconfig" - see "man xddmxconfig" [23:15] analogical https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/how-to-batch-rename-multiple-files-on-ubuntu-using-file-manager-or-krename.html maybe this helps [23:15] grrr again! [23:16] TJ: the command is working and dont worry about the tying [23:16] ondrejoda: At present either Xdmx itself or the current state of window managers do not work well together for complex arrangements of multihead set-ups; the server tends to crash as soon as window drawing is required after the integrated desktop has been established. [23:17] analogical: you asked this question over an hour ago in ##linux and were given all the same suggestions then; in that time you've prevaricated and found excuses to not try them. [23:17] tatertotz: that is exactly what happens, all screens go black, and then the error. [23:18] ondrejoda: that is expected [23:18] ondrejoda: very ambitious effort though [23:18] ondrejoda: any logs in /var/log/ for it on any of the hosts? [23:18] quadrathoch2, thanks! [23:18] TJ-, will check [23:19] ondrejoda: it's well known [23:19] oh, a little detail, my ubuntu installation for the AMD APU is using budgie [23:19] not gnome [23:19] ondrejoda: no matter what you're using it doesn't exempt you from the following [23:20] ondrejoda: At present either Xdmx itself or the current state of window managers do not work well together for complex arrangements of multihead set-ups; the server tends to crash as soon as window drawing is required after the integrated desktop has been established. [23:22] yeah, but tatertotz, i am doing only 2 screens, nothing complex [23:24] ondrejoda: get it working on a single screen to begin with [23:25] I recall writing an xdmx config and I'm sure I published it somewhere [23:26] TJ-, ok, ill attempt to do that :D [23:30] TJ-, sorry i left, my computer crashed [23:31] because of xdmx [23:31] :( [23:32] !eoan | ondrejoda [23:32] ondrejoda: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) was the 31st release of Ubuntu, support ended July 2020. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-July/005494.html [23:32] what [23:32] oof [23:32] ok [23:32] i didnt know that [23:33] ondrejoda: also please note that both of the releases you quoted are !eol [23:33] welp, thats what you get when your internet speed is 256 kb/s [23:34] you miss lines on irc? [23:35] TJ-, ok, new error for xdmx: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject [23:35] ondrejoda: I count at least 6 internet cafe's in your area [23:36] nope [23:36] define area [23:36] Gaborone [23:36] what?
