Not the hard drive :( [00:36] :( [00:36] Bashing-om, so what should I do now? [00:38] brenster21: Show me ehat we are worjing with - from the liveUSB terminal; ' sudo fdisk -lu | nc termbin.com 9999 ' the result is a URL, pass that link back here. Then I provide you the fsck command to look at the drive. [00:38] working* [00:41] sudo fdisk -lu | nc termbin.com 9999 [00:42] brenster21: ^ that is the command - that results in a URL back in the terminal - pass that link back here.

[00:47] yes [00:48] scarletmarauder: Ack - now run from the liveusb ' sudo fsck /dev/sda8 '. See what gets related about the file system :) [00:50] I get clean [00:51] brenster21: Reboot and see where you get to :) [00:51] rebooting === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin [01:21] /usr/share/themes/Syscrash [01:21] from openbox [01:21] Bashing-om, things seem to be working again [01:21] i believe this shouldn't be in the public repository for openbox [01:22] brenster21: \o/ :D [01:22] I can't seem to get Firefox to do hardware decoding with vaapi. Could it be something specific to how the Ubuntu packages are built that disables it? [01:28] Anyone knows how to troubleshoot additional screen not being detected?

[02:15] tatertots, only once yet [02:16] Squarism: it is something reproducible ? [02:16] I dont think I did anything special. I guess Ill try to play again [02:16] Squarism: you should find out [02:17] Is it normal that port 53 is open to the outside with ubuntu 20.04.1?

I connect with tio, and I see: ATE1 E0TATE1 E0TATE1 E0Tr [02:46] good ol AT modem commands. um.. Where did they come from? [02:47] CarlFK: does that seem Ubuntu related to you? [02:48] tatertots: yes - I am guessing there is something installed that is resetting modems when they are plugged in [02:48] I skimmed the tio source, I don't see any AT things https://github.com/tio/tio/blob/master/src/tty.c [04:00] hey i know this unreal support but i cant connect to them because i dont have ssl on my home pc... im stuck with this Makefile:145: recipe for target 'build' failed [04:03] MrFreeze: who is "them"? [04:03] their support ircd [04:03] they changed it to ssl connections only :( [04:04] MrFreeze: unreal? like as in the company that makes video games?

[04:13] what is the most stable version of GUI on ubuntu currently? I've tried the default ubuntu 20.04LTS on my machine with gnome and it crashes randomly. I've an Nvidia 2080ti+4k monitor - which I think is the issue. [04:13] sad part is it was working till i removed ubuntu 16.04 [04:14] MrFreeze: 16.04 only good until 2021 [04:14] im now on 18.04 [04:24] memtest 86+ - I have it installed, but on grub screen it wont show up [04:24] any ideas on how to show that up from live usb drives? [04:29] pyraindrop: UEFI system ? Then see; http://www.memtest86.com/ . [04:33] Bashing-om, I tried both uefi and legacy modes [04:33] it does not show up [04:35] pyraindrop: If UEFI - will require the proprietary memtest. [04:36] Bashing-om, is there a stress tester iso available somewhere to test the machine?

[04:59] which version? [05:00] pyraindrop: presently booting 18.04 - have xfce as the DE. [05:01] I think I'll have to goto 18.04 too - the GUI in 20.04 is too unstable [05:02] pyraindrop: Have seen no issues with 20.04 (xubuntu). [05:03] Bashing-om, you've not used it with an nvidia card - have you? 4k monitor? [05:04] pyraindrop: I do have Nvida - but no on the 4K monitor - 20.04 is supposed to have the better support.

Kerberos seems to be working as expected as if i do an 'id user@domain' i am returned uid and gid. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bnKm2tY4d3/ Any pointers [07:46] appreciated as I have been googling and playing around with this for a few hours with no success. [07:48] ozcrn: good morning, you can try #ubuntu-server if you like [07:48] cheers lotuspsychje will do [07:49] ozcrn: have you already got a successful klist/kinit? [07:53] @tatertots: yep, klist returns a valid kerberos token [07:57] ozcrn: and you've already modified pam configuration to put DNS first before "files" and other entries? [07:58] hmmm no, haven't done anything in regards to pam config [07:58] I'm running ubuntu 20.04 and since the upgrade, when I type "killall firefox" into the command line, it'll tell me "firefox: no process found" even though firefox is clearly running. How do I kill firefox from the command line now? [07:59] ozcrn: what does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like? [08:00] kaddi: what does 'ps aux | grep firefox' give? [08:00] tatertots: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zmVnzNK96t/ [08:01] EriC^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/N3ZjgQpnjP/ [08:01] ozcrn: does your /etc/hosts contain your FQDN? [08:01] alternatively if there's an easy way to find the PID that'll kill all of firfeox instead of just a tab, that would be useful too [08:01] kaddi: try "kill 104213" [08:02] if that doesnt work try "kill -9 104213" [08:02] tatertots: as in the FQDN on the server itself? [08:02] *of [08:03] that worked, thanks.. but any idea why killall no longer works? Firefox freezes once every couple of days (which is annoying in itself but is an issue as old as time, I guess).. no longer being able to easily kill it is very inconvenient [08:03] kaddi: i think maybe it wanted the whole path, eg killall /usr/lib/firefox [08:04] kaddi: an easy way to kill it is via 'xkill' launch it from terminal then click on the frozen window [08:04] ozcrn: yes [08:04] tatertots: it didnt, I have added it, behaviour does not appear to have changed though [08:04] kaddi: also make sure firefox is latest version 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox' [08:05] EriC^: just realise that my firefox now seems to live in /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.. which seems odd [08:05] thanks for hte xkill tip [08:05] ozcrn: run "getent hosts " [08:05] ozcrn: it should return the true IP and hostname NOT 127.0.0.1 [08:05] kaddi: no worries, if the problem continues it might be useful to launch firefox from a terminal so it's more verbose there and might show why its freezing [08:05] ozcrn: it should return the true IP and hostname NOT 127.x.x.x [08:05] tatertots: yepp, confirmed correct IP and hostname [08:06] EriC^: it's a memory leak.. it'll eat up my 16GB of RAM and become unresponsive [08:06] ozcrn: restart sssd and try to ssh with a AD user [08:06] and they always seem to fix one memory leak with two others.. so it never really improves [08:07] ozcrn: have you already changed /etc/pam.d/common-session ? [08:08] ozcrn: if pam isn't expecting AD users login in it will fail [08:08] ozcrn: even if the system is joined [08:09] tatertots: login still fails. All i have added to /etc/pam.d/common-session is the pam_mkhomedir.so line so as it creates the homedir for new users [08:10] ozcrn: you don't have sssd listed in your pam conf? [08:10] ozcrn: post your pam conf [08:11] EriC^: any idea why it can't find the process by name anymore? Others seem to work, but firefox doesn't get recognized [08:11] ozcrn: i'll post mine from a AD joined 16.04 [08:11] ll [08:11] ozcrn: then you can compare [08:11] tatertots: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3VVPWFFtv9/ pam_sso.so was already present [08:12] ozcrn: https://termbin.com/8ybr [08:12] ozcrn: notice the pam_sss.so [08:12] ozcrn: you should have this [08:13] tatertots: yeah, that is present, only difference i can see is the umask and your config has pam_mkhomedir.so as required whereas mine is optional [08:13] ozcrn: it's NOT session "optional" [08:14] ozcrn: it's session "required" [08:14] ozcrn: also move your line [08:14] ozcrn: mimic mine [08:14] ozcrn: of your keep your custom /etc/skel [08:14] ozcrn: of course your keep your custom /etc/skel [08:15] ozcrn: i notice you're using umask 0022, i use 0077 in my environment, keep your custom 0022 [08:17] ozcrn: you'll need to restart sssd with any change you make [08:18] tatertots: have copied across the changes from your configuration but still no good [08:18] tatertots: im going to give the whole server a reboot and see if this changes anthing [08:18] ozcrn: ok [08:20] ozcrn: i just noticed my /etc/hosts not only has my FQDN but has my domain controller FQDN and IP [08:21] tatertots: reboot didnt change anything, will add that in as well and test [08:21] tatertots: appreciate the help [08:21] ozcrn: i've got two different 16.04's joined to different AD domains so i'm comparing both /etc/hosts [08:22] tatertots: i've got plenty of centos / aws linux 2 machine joined without issues. This is the first ubuntu machine have attempted to add. If this doesn't work I might try and spin up a test 16.04 box and see if that works [08:22] ozcrn: i didn't make any edits to /etc/hosts on 1of2 and both are joined successfully [08:23] ozcrn: i'll link you the guide i used [08:23] ozcrn: it worked to get both my 16.04's joined to two different domains [08:24] ozcrn: it's something with your pam config [08:24] tatertots: appreaciated. will spin up a 16.04 when i get a chance. [08:25] tatertots: yeah, i figured that was the case, because everything else seems to indicate the machine is joined fine [08:26] ozcrn: https://www.kiloroot.com/add-ubuntu-14-04-server-or-desktop-to-microsoft-active-directory-domain-login-to-unity-with-domain-credentials/ [08:26] ozcrn: it says 14.04 but it's actually for 16.04 too since he's not using PBIS anymore [08:27] ozcrn: there was a tool called PBIS used in 14.04 that made joining a breeze but it's no longer supported in anything higher than 14.04 [08:27] ozcrn: actually i think they did open source PBIS and make it for newer versions..but i migrated to using realmd+sssd [08:28] tatertots: i've pretty much done everything through the use of realmd which seemed simple enough [08:28] ozcrn: PBIS was proprietary at the time i was joining Linux to domains [08:28] ozcrn: i like the realmd+sssd route myself also [08:29] ozcrn: that reminds me of your sssd.conf [08:29] ozcrn: poking through that link..something might stand out that you didn't do [08:29] tatertots: will give that guide a go when I am back in the office tomorrow. Will report back if you are floating around. Thanks again [08:30] ozcrn: no prob [08:30] ozcrn: i'll be joining a new 20.04 box to AD in the next week so i can we can compare steps [08:34] ozcrn: i wonder if you did the "realm allow" thing [08:37] is there any reason to use apt-get update instead of apt update ? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [08:44] hi [08:44] should i reboot when i change graphic driver ? === Norkle is now known as KevinBacon === KevinBacon is now known as Norkle [09:06] this is very strange, why the driver setting show nvidia-driver-450 as open-source ? i thought it was nouveau the name of the open source driver ? [09:06] kaddi: no idea [09:07] kaddi: perhaps try with pkill firefox ? [09:08] usually kills firefox for me [09:21] tatertots: doing a 'realm permit' allowed me to login [09:22] ozcrn: lol...good..i was trying to think of what you might have missed, "realm permit" came to mind [09:22] tatertots: with all the rest of my servers i've controller access using the 'ad_access_filter' directive in sssd.conf, using realm permit seems to add a 'simple_allow_groups' entry [09:22] ozcrn: "realm permit" is pretty strict in my environments [09:23] ozcrn: only Enterprise Admins can log in to my Linux AD systems [09:24] tatertots: we are pretty limited as well, mostly because we are a windows shop and *nix scares people... [09:25] ozcrn: same here with my shop..I'm the only one in the Enterprise Admin group that can log in to Linux lol [09:27] ozcrn: i've never used the ad access filter technique, i may have to try that [09:27] tatertots: thanks again for the help, knew it would end up being something stupid [09:28] ozcrn: out of curiosity you on 16.04 also? [09:28] tatertots: nope, only Ubuntu we've got is 20.04 [09:28] ozcrn: they keep switching from LightDM and it makes me have to do additional stuff to get AD users to GUI login [09:29] tatertots: i did some disgusting things to make gui logins useable on centos7/mate [09:29] ozcrn: i had LightDM in 16.04, upgraded to 18.04 and was using GDM3 all the sudden, wasn't expecting the change [09:30] tatertots: honestly the less i see of a linux gui the happier i am [09:31] ozcrn: you've motivated me to join my 20.04 earlier than planned [09:31] tatertots: good luck! [09:32] k, lets see if I can ask this here... Atm I cannot get into my router, seems I need to reset it, but rather not now. And all I wanted to do is check which port is open for Transmission. Is there an other way to find out? === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [09:34] JeroenK: are you chatting from the computer right now? [09:34] yes, on my laptop [09:34] JeroenK: open terminal [09:35] JeroenK: in terminal> sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN|nc termbin.com 9999 [09:35] JeroenK: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [09:36] Got nothing [09:37] JeroenK: in terminal> sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [09:37] JeroenK: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [09:38] https://termbin.com/nnij [09:39] JeroenK: port # 51413 [09:40] Yeah, that' s the port which Transmission uses, default setting. Not the port I already had set in the routher. [09:40] tatertots: https://www.bu.edu/tech/services/security/iam/directory/ad/linux/ has a decent explanation of the two. [09:40] Unless Transmission automatically finds that port? [09:41] tatertots: access provider defaulted to 'simple' on ubuntu which explains why only 'simple_allow_groups' worked, centos defaulted to 'ad' [09:42] ozcrn: it defaults to 'simple' on ubuntu AND mint [09:43] tatertots: setting it to 'ad' doesn't seem to work either [09:43] Hence why I wanted to check in the router which port i had once set. Hm, if this is all that can be done then I need to reset my router afterall. Hoped I could do that much later... [09:44] ozcrn: it must be a ubuntu thing [09:45] is there a simple way to convert an install I did with BIOS mode to EFI? I forgot to change it before reinstalling the computer and had wanted to do it to get firmware updates working automatically [09:45] tatertots: Cons of Simple: Does not check if account is active and will still allow login even though the account may be in the “expired” state. [09:45] tatertots: doesn't seem ideal but if that's how it is just something to be aware of i guess [09:45] O wait, in settings there' s Test Port, tested it, port is closed indeed [09:45] pedrocr: can you pastebin 'sudo parted -ls' ? [09:45] k, thx ;) [09:46] JeroenK: good luck with your router [09:47] EriC^: https://gist.github.com/pedrocr/30f3e224bb18cb7d70755086a0a92208 [09:47] /boot as ext4 and then / and /home as encrypted partitions [09:47] ozcrn: i think they compensate for that issue in ubuntu [09:48] ozcrn: does your klist show a quick expiration? [09:49] ozcrn: here's how fast mine expires https://termbin.com/hxjk [09:49] pedrocr: what you can do is make the /boot an efi partition, and make /boot part of the encrypted root fs [09:49] i can guide you through the process if you want to do it [09:49] ozcrn: forcing it to validate the account no matter what the same day [09:50] tatertots: yeah, same 10 hours expiry [09:50] ozcrn: within several hours even [09:50] EriC^: is it complex enough that just reinstalling makes more sense? [09:50] ozcrn: so ubuntu is forcing validation every 10 hours...better than nothing i guess [09:50] I keep /home in a separate partition just so I can nuke /boot and / and be back up fairly quickly [09:51] ozcrn: i'm going to expire an account and test that out [09:52] tatertots: unsurprisingly ubuntu and centos are running different major version, ubuntu newer though so not like they've added the feature [09:52] ozcrn: gotta find a user to pick on to test with lol [09:52] tatertots: i'm going to have to do the same, our security guys enjoy nitpicking this kind of thing [09:52] pedrocr: i see, yeah reinstalling would be easier [09:52] tatertots: CEO usually works well hahah [09:52] lol [09:53] EriC^: and what do I need to do at install? Set the partition to /efi instead of /boot? [09:54] pedrocr: you need to boot the live usb in uefi mode, it should show a white/black grub menu instead of the menu in the middle, then in the installer you want to create an efi partition and /boot as usual [09:55] efi partition around 300mb would be good [09:55] if you know you wont be using windows with it, you might get away with like 50-100mb so you have more left over for /boot, but frankly it's easy to put boot inside the rootfs later and probably more secure [09:56] hello, question about the nextcloud snap. is it possible to mount a nfs share as the data directory easily with the snap? [09:56] pedrocr: (you'll need to add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to /etc/default/grub and update-grub though) [09:56] i've never used snaps [09:58] EriC^: If I'm reading the UEFI page correctly I need to mount the EFI partition in /boot/efi, which doesn't seem too bad [09:59] pedrocr: yeah [09:59] but apparently it should be automatically detected [09:59] pedrocr: yeah if there's already an efi partition it would use it [10:00] Ok, I'll probably do the reinstall when I have some time then [10:00] having automatic firmware upgrades would be nice [10:00] thanks [10:00] alright, no problem [10:01] hi everyone [10:03] Hi everyone! I've recently upgraded to 20.04, and just today my bluetooth on my laptop completely stopped working. As in, it's not showing up with `rfkill list` as a hci device anymore. [10:04] So I can't use it at all. I can't start the bluetooth service manually, I can't connect using bluetoothctl, or anything. [10:04] question: when i open my laptop.. that open GNU GRUB 2.04 .. how i can back to boot and login as usual [10:04] necrophcodr: maybe turning the laptop off, removing the battery and holding the power button might help [10:04] You think draining the power completely might work? [10:04] Mr_x: you get a grub> prompt? [10:05] Unfortunately it doesn't have a removable battery. [10:05] yes EriC^ what should command i need to type [10:05] necrophcodr: worth a try, ive had some problems with wifi where doing that got it working, though it didnt disappear from the os in my case [10:05] necrophcodr: anything in "dmesg" relating to the bluetooth? [10:06] Mr_x: try "insmod normal" then type "normal" [10:06] EriC^, nothing in dmesg related to bluetooth at all, no [10:06] necrophcodr: could it be somehow disabled in the bios? [10:06] EriC^, I checked the BIOS and there's no Bluetooth settings at all [10:07] EriC^: but nothing happen [10:07] maybe it's worth it to check using a live usb that used to work to see if it's a hardware issue [10:07] My situation was that I was using bluetooth with a headset earlier today, left for a while, and when I came back, the headset wasn't connected anymore, and the bluman had hung. I tried to use `rfkill unblock bluetooth` but it didnt do anything, and `rfkill list` showed the device to be unblocked. [10:07] I then rebooted, and `rfkill list` no longer even shows the device. [10:07] Mr_x: type "echo $prefix" [10:07] what's it return? [10:08] (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub [10:09] that is EriC^ [10:09] Mr_x: ok type "configfile $prefix/grub.cfg" [10:09] necrophcodr: can you boot LiveCD/LiveUSB and test? [10:10] tatertots, i dont have a USB available unfortunately, but i'll see if i can get my hands on one soon [10:10] EriC^: done .. but cant see anything output [10:11] necrophcodr: you can boot an ubuntu iso from grub [10:11] Mr_x: does "ls $prefix/" give any files called grub.cfg ? [10:11] Mr_x: is this a grub> or grub rescue> prompt? [10:12] ls $prefix/ [10:14] unicode.pf2 i386-pc/ locale/ fonts/ grubenv grub.cfg [10:14] that is EriC^ [10:14] this is grub> promt [10:15] Mr_x: ok, does "cat $prefix/grub.cfg" give a lot of text? [10:15] Hello all, how can I restrict users from running rm -rf * (or) rm -rf / in a system. At the same time, I would require all users to use rm command from shell script. [10:16] @nara [10:16] yes EriC^ [10:16] narakrish: don't give them root access [10:16] Is this guide current? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [10:16] Mr_x: ok, type "echo $root" [10:17] hello [10:18] output ---->> hd0,msdos1 [10:18] sleepymario, lol [10:19] that is output EriC^ [10:19] Has someone trashed their grub? [10:26] Mr_x: type "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1" [10:27] Mr_x: then type "initrd /initrd.img" [10:27] Mr_x: finally type "boot" [10:27] I have a grub I need to recover on another machine [10:27] gonna try that sometime soon [10:28] what is the difference between apt-get and just using apt [10:29] drogas: apt is more user friendly, colors, more progress stuff, but not to be used in scripts [10:30] EriC^: output /vmlinuz not found [10:33] EriC^ not to be used in scripts? what does that mean [10:33] Mr_x: ok, type "linux /boot/vmlinuz" [10:33] Mr_x: then continue root=/dev/sda1 [10:34] drogas: scripts such as bash scripts, it's not very compatible with those [10:34] so when searching or installing things would it suffice to just do sudo apt install or do we need sudo apt-get/cache [10:35] drogas: yeah sudo apt install works fine [10:35] Hi folks, i just performed a new install of ubuntu 16.04.6. I have no network cards configured or "confirmed". i was able to mount a usb flash drive with the driver inside to compile, but im getting a message that make is not installed. i cannot download make because i dont have internet [10:35] can someone please give me a hand? [10:35] the only network card found in the interface config file is the loopback [10:37] i can confirm that ubunlspci -nn | grep 0200 shows my card as intel corporation ethernet connection (7) I219-LM 8086:15bb [10:37] EriC^: its nothing happen when i hit tab [10:38] Mr_x: ok, does "ls /boot" show any vmlinuz files? [10:38] gavimobile: did you have network connectivity when booted to the LiveCD/LiveUSB? [10:39] gavimobile: the same LiveCD/LiveUSB you just used to install [10:39] tatertots: im not sure. the install ran from the usb stick [10:39] tatertots: i would assume that all the packages are on the flash drive [10:40] gavimobile: did you have a box checked during the install regarding updating while installing? [10:40] gavimobile: ubuntu installers used to check for connectivity and offer to install any updates during the installation process, did that NOT occur? [10:41] gavimobile: boot the LiveCD/LiveUSB again and test [10:41] on /boot has system.map-5.4.0-42-generic config-5.4-generic initrd.img-5.4.0-42-generic [10:41] that is EriC^ [10:42] Mr_x: ah, you're missing the kernel, you have to use a live usb to fix it [10:42] can you boot a live usb up? [10:43] vmlinuz files on /lost+found [10:44] Mr_x: ah try to copy them over perhaps [10:44] Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04.1 via downloading the .iso image and writing it to a USB stick. The problem is that the installation process is so slow that it couldn't complete overnight. The only error I've managed to see so far is about initramfs failing to decode, but the fixes I've found online for that don't appear to work in the "Live [10:44] CD" read-only installer environment. Help?! [10:44] Mr_x: try "cp /lost+found/vmlinuz.... /boot/" [10:46] taleinat: did you checksum the iso? [10:46] EriC^: i dont recall any option asking me this [10:47] EriC^: Yes, I checksummed the iso. [10:48] taleinat: did you let it checksum while the live usb was booting? [10:49] 'integrity check' or whatever it's called currently [10:49] I just let it boot usually, I didn't cancel or stop anything. [10:49] EriC^: cant find command cp [10:50] EriC^: After a reboot it did indeed run such a check, I let it complete and it passed successfully. [10:50] Mr_x: ah grub has no copy it seems, you'll have to find a live usb to boot it and restore the kernel [10:51] EriC^: (Reboot back into the USB installer.) [10:52] taleinat: i'd try a different usb and also perhaps run a smart test on the hdd from the live usb [10:52] taleinat: when exactly do you get this failed to decode msg, while it's installing the system? [10:53] EriC^: Pointer on how to run a smart test? [10:53] EriC^: I saw it when I Ctrl+Alt+F2 into a terminal session, it was happening once every few minutes or so, in parallel to the installer trying to run in the graphical session. [10:56] ok EriC^ may i know.. how to do that [10:57] Howdy all [11:05] EriC^: Even before the UI environment comes up, I get this: [11:07] Bah it scrolled away due to the fsck check. [11:10] Ugh. Had a Xavier NX change IP address. My fault of cource should have made it static in the router. Hade to nmap -A and guess the correct machine. Then connect keyboard and browser. Allow /etc/ssh/sshd_config password instead of public key. Log in. disallow password. Restart ssh. and disconnect keyboard and borwser. Last part of ip had changed from 135 to 134. [11:12] s/browser/display/ [11:15] Anyhow why doesnt nmap know the MAC address range of nvidea products so I don't have to scan all machines. On the PI's it correctly reports raspi addresses? [11:17] https://postimg.cc/YvfQqPFc/74d9bb19 [11:18] desktop is transporoted . Can I fix? [11:18] https://i.postimg.cc/qvWwQVM7/Screenshot-from-2020-08-10-20-03-45.png [11:21] yuta, so you are using alepard desktop. So what? [11:22] yuta, Perhaps I am blind, but they look the same to me. [11:23] younder:see right and left. [11:38] Can anyone tell me if that chroot guide is still current? [11:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [11:39] edited 2015 [11:40] Are aids and tools as mentioned in that article still necessary for chroot jails? [11:41] younder:deleted,I didn't do nothing. [11:41] thanks [11:42] Ubuntu 18.04 lts btw [12:03] EriC^: SMART check passed, the disk is fine. Trying to install an older version of Ubuntu... [12:03] I also tried with two different USB disks and the behavior is exactly the same. [12:04] taleinat: odd, ok [12:07] EriC^: Is it possible that the initramfs config is borked in the installer ISO? Is there a way I can change it from lz to gzip? [12:09] no idea, you shouldnt have to, very odd [12:14] Same USB disk, Ubuntu 19.10 Desktop install ISO, no initramfs error msg. So far so good. [12:16] hello, i am trying to get into ubuntu grub loader [12:16] ubuntu is showing up directly , i am not able to boot [12:16] how can i alter it ? ubuntu 20.04 [12:16] it goes directly into splash screen [12:17] pagios_: Are you pressing F12/F10 or whatever the correct key is on your system after turning the system on? [12:17] no [12:17] whats that [12:18] when it boots it goes into the splash screen directly [12:18] The PC appears to have the boot menu disabled, this is common. To reach the boot menu, reboot, and repeatedly press F12 or F10 until it appears. [12:19] The key may also be F2, or Escape, or even something else - it depends which BIOS you have. [12:20] Whats happening taleinat ? [12:22] EriC^: just swa your recommendation with pkill.. It doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't kill firefox either [12:24] pikapika: Hi! Do I know you? [12:24] kaddi: are you chatting from the computer right now? [12:24] No [12:24] tatertots: yes [12:24] Oh. I was replying to pagios_. [12:24] Whats happening = whats the problem [12:25] kaddi: in terminal> pgrep firefox|nc termbin.com 9999 [12:25] kaddi: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [12:25] I'm now trying the Ubuntu 19.10 installer on my machine. Also loading slowly. [12:25] no link [12:25] kaddi: in terminal> pgrep firefox|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [12:25] kaddi: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [12:25] tatertots: the issue is not that I can't kill firefox. I want to understand why killall and pkill can no longer find firefox and kill it [12:26] kill pid works and killall works with other apps [12:26] no url [12:26] works thanks [12:26] kaddi: oh ..sorry didn't know you didn't actually have a technical problem, but only seeking education or understanding. [12:27] tatertots: well.. in a way this is interesting. pgrep I guess is a shorterning of "ps aux | grep"? It returns no firefox processes, however ps aux | grep returns about a doxen [12:27] so.. this may help me understand [12:28] tatertots: I kind of have technical problem which is: firefox can't be found by killall or pkill :p [12:29] kaddi: or human error in the assumption that it even should be found [12:29] kaddi, same [12:29] Its happening recently [12:29] pkill used to work with firefox [12:29] Now I need to pkill -f it [12:29] it started with the upgrade to 20.04 for me [12:29] things change [12:29] Other firefoxen like Tor are killed by pkill firefox [12:29] But not normal ff [12:29] pkill -f firefox is needed for that [12:30] being able to adapt to change is a skillset [12:30] tatertots, firefox process is still called firefox [12:30] ps -aux | grep firefox [12:31] see: grep Name /proc/pid-of-firefox/status [12:31] tatertots: For me it's mostly to recover a functionality I used to have.. I've been trying to figure out why killall no longer sees firefox which I guess falls under education [12:31] ps -aux | grep -i firefox | wc [12:31] ps -aux | grep firefox | wc [12:31] Same count [12:32] the Name in /proc/pid-of-firefox/status might not match your query using pgrep, the -f sets 'full lenght cmd line' search [12:32] Yeah [12:32] tatertots: but from ubuntu 8.04 to 19.10 it was possible to do a killall firefox and have firefox die.. if this changed for a specific reason, I'd be happy to learn about it and find out how to do it now without having to go through identifying the PID of the main firefox process [12:32] And in all those firefox instances I see the name of the base process is still firefox [12:33] of course the full cmd line also contains the string [12:33] kaddi, not even in this 18.04 [12:33] probably after some FF update [12:33] ah, interesting [12:34] @ocean looks like you were spot on.. name is "MainThread" [12:34] so killall MainThread works for firefox [12:35] WSL? [12:35] WSL? what does that mean? [12:35] I read a bug report that ff is now called MainThread in WSL [12:35] Its still 'firefox' here though [12:35] yet somehow pkill fails [12:35] without the -f [12:35] (here as in normal, native Ubuntu) [12:36] I type pkill firefox [12:36] nothing happens [12:36] I type pkill -f firefox [12:36] its killed [12:36] and other types of firefox are killed by the pkill firefox [12:36] probably because those are still based off of older versions of firefox [12:37] Yaeh [12:37] But somehow [12:37] ps -aux | grep MainThread returns nothing other than the grep process itself [12:37] so my normal firefox is still called firefox [12:37] yet pkill fails [12:38] preg is returning blank too [12:38] pgrep [12:41] yay power outage [12:41] hmm [12:43] I am comparing ps axu | grep and pgrep and still no idea whats different [12:52] the nextcloud snap seems really convenient. even mounting an nfs share went smoothly, and using ssl certs as well. are snaps easy to update? does that really go automatically or do you have to use a command every now and then? [12:55] sleepymario: snaps will update on their own, but you can use "sudo snap refresh" to manually update [12:55] leftyfb: thanks [12:57] woah snaps are funny [12:57] lol [12:57] Didn't know they silently updated on their own [12:57] Sentient little things [12:58] kaddi, power came back? [12:59] well, we'll see for how long [12:59] lol [13:02] kaddi, be careful out there [13:04] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649010 looks like the firefox/MainThread thing is considered a bug (whcih I'm happy to hear.. because having to do killall MainThread when you mean to do killall firefox is not intuitive) [13:04] Mozilla bug 1649010 in XPCOM "Firefox parent process shows up as "MainThread" in top" [--,New] === Roeynicorn is now known as Roey [14:25] Hi, I'm getting this error can anyone help?

[15:54] how far are you getting? [15:54] can you one time boot menu and get into grub? [16:06] the ubuntu kernel surely has ntfs support out of the box no? [16:09] sleepymario.. not always.

[16:20] that i dont know.. honestly launching a script to listen at boot with chron might be enough [16:20] probably not the best answer.. but its a start [16:21] Interesting. I made a script run at boot with chron before. Not sure how to make a listener though. But it is the best answer so far :) Thank you. [16:21] not hard to be the best answer out of 1 lol [16:21] hehehe :D [16:22] maybe python [16:24] Python seems to have something "import sudo" that might make this possible.

Does anyone have guidance on how I can apply a patch (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.4.y&id=8d5037dca7c2089f27e5903c2aecfc5bb10d7806) to my clean 20.04 LTS install? I tried following the steps here: https://github.com/da-cali/linux-x1-tablet#fix-the-trackpoint-and-trackpad-buttons [16:30] using v5.4.57, but now my GRUB shows Ubuntu w/ 5.4.75+ which doesn't load and the ~old Ubuntu w/ 5.4.0-42-generic. [16:30] The 5.4..57+ appears to get stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk" [16:31] (5.4.57+ not 5.4.75+) [16:32] Ezro: do you want to help contribute to the ubuntu kernel? [16:34] I don't think I'm knowledgeable / skillful enough to. I (selfishly) mainly want to get my trackpad buttons to work. lol [16:36] Initially I was using Pop!_OS and then figured I'd try Ubuntu out in hopes that the trackpad buttons worked out-of-the-box. But I may stick with Ubuntu anyway because I found out that I can get the Pop!_OS tiling in Ubuntu (https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/05/how-to-install-pop-shell-tiling.html), which was my main appeal for Pop!_OS. [16:40] Ezro: i would reccomend if something doesnt work out of the box on ubuntu, you file a new !bug for it first, so the devs know about your issue, after that youc an update your own bug with patches or testings [16:43] I think it's a known bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it manually. I can see that the github I listed above has a solution, and I found another solution here: https://github.com/leakim/lenovo-x1-gen3-trackpoint-buttons (coming from https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/X1%20Tablet%20Gen%203). [16:44] Ezro: even better if the bug is known, we need to find the bug ID and get you affected [16:45] share the ID with the volunteers and see whats the status/progress of the bug [16:50] Can someone explain to me why on earth the vbox modules aren't already signed? [16:52] Nox what version, vbox from our repos or from vbox site? [16:53] Either apparently. [16:53] I especially don't understand why the modules from *their* repo isn't signed. [16:54] their repo? [16:54] From http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian [16:54] i think you just need to enable efi .. https://askubuntu.com/a/1105711 [16:54] anyway, i use kvm [16:59] Dang, it's because the modules have to be built during installation so they have to be signed on the host. [16:59] Licensing issues suck sometimes... [17:02] didi you reboot after install? [17:02] might help .. [17:11] lotuspsychje I created a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1891062. If I wanted to try to fix it manually, what steps should I take using the patch available in the 5.4.y branch? [17:11] Launchpad bug 1891062 in Ubuntu "Lenovo X1 Tablet Gen3 trackpoint and buttons not working" [Undecided,New] [17:12] Ezro: thank you for reporting your bug and help improve ubuntu! [17:12] Ezro: can you change the package from ubuntu to 'linux' please, that will be against the kernel [17:13] hahaha.. i figured it out.. well, I figured out probably the worst way to do it lol [17:14] lotuspsychje I think I updated it. Please let me know if I set it incorrectly. [17:14] sorry, thats vague.. been trying to figure out how to strip out a specific value from an output.. and while there is undoubtedly a better way, ended up setting a variable to the first and just running awk against the variable value [17:14] Ezro: tnx, now try from terminal: apport-collect 1891062 [17:16] Ezro: that worked, tnx, now let me read your dmesg, brb [17:21] Ezro: did you check lenovo site or ubuntu software if you got newer bios firmware updates? [17:23] In the Ubuntu Software it says that my software is up to date, but I haven't checked for any bios upgrades. [17:23] Ezro: might be worth a try to see if there's 2020 versions [17:24] From my bug report, is this my current BIOS version? dmi.bios.version: N1ZET79W(1.35 ) [17:24] Ezro: your dmesg shows a few acpi errors, but overall its pretty sane [17:25] Ezro: yes, DMI: LENOVO 20KJCTO1WW/20KJCTO1WW, BIOS N1ZET79W(1.35 ) 11/28/2019 [17:28] 1.35 only 9 months old.. thats not that old [17:29] Sorry for the newbie question, but from the Lenovo website it does look like an update is available but I'm only seeing downloads for Windows 10. If I burn the ISO to a USB, would I be able to update without having to install Windows? [17:29] https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-x1-tablet-3rd-gen-20kj-20kk/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS%2FUEFI [17:29] scythefwd2: i didnt say it was old, but sometimes things get fixed [17:30] I'm just saying that it's new enough there might not be a newer one.. I've not seen a bios update on my board in 18 months [17:30] !biosupdate | Ezro [17:30] Ezro: To see how to update your bios on Ubuntu visit the community collected methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [17:30] ezro.. see if there is a dos one or a bin file you can flash from within the bios itself [17:31] Ezro: i also found https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg60060.html seems like more users have this issue, perhaps the #ubuntu-kernel devs might know more of this patch [17:41] Is it always going to be required to use -d switch on upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04, or is there a reason it's not detecting the new version? [17:42] kxsl: upgrade path might not be open yet [17:43] kxsl: when available, your system should offer it, when enabled LTS releases in your sodftware&sources [17:44] I'm doing it from the command line. I'm curious why it's not detecting it, I thought it would when the point release was released last week [17:51] For reference, lotuspsychje, when I ran steps 7 and 8 in the github (https://github.com/da-cali/linux-x1-tablet#fix-the-trackpoint-and-trackpad-buttons), was that adding another kernel option to my bootloader (that I had built in step 6)? [17:53] Ezro: the steps from that git are for compiling your own kernel, wich we dont advice on ubuntu, let the devs sort that out on the kernels from ubuntu repos [17:54] Ezro: talk to the #ubuntu-kernel devs about this, see their advice [17:55] Okay, thanks for all of the help! I upgraded my bios to 1.40 and am performing a clean install to remove that extra kernel. [17:57] good luck Ezro [18:19] !ltsupgrade | kxsl it can take a few more hours/days/weeks, it is ready when it is ready [18:19] kxsl it can take a few more hours/days/weeks, it is ready when it is ready: 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 [18:40] !mainline | Ezro try this perhaps [18:40] Ezro try this perhaps: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [18:43] hello! suddenly nautilus is not opening any file browsing windows anymore, I just get loading spinning wheel mouse cursors for a couple of seconds [18:43] I've also tried nautilus -q && nautilus & [18:43] but nothing has changed [18:44] I'd like to recover gnome as I'm in the middle of a work and rebooting is not my favourite option [18:48] giaco, remove/rename ~/.config/nautilus and try again? [18:48] maybe also ~/.cache something.. [18:52] lotuspsychje Wouldn't that be similar to what I did in the github steps? [18:53] Ezro: no, that git is about compiling kernels, testing mainline kernels on ubuntu is installing the existing (higher) kernels [18:53] Say, if my bios clock doesnt work, does ubuntu automatically set the time to the last shutdown time? [18:57] Elw3, no [18:57] if your clock is way off, maybe it is windows10 that bugs it [18:57] How dare you insult me like that! [18:58] oh i dare. [18:58] Elw3: tone down please [18:58] Elw3: volunteers are trying to help you here [18:58] my sound system has this nasty annoying bug and I was hoping someone here could help me solve it. So - Microsoft Teams has an issue "connecting", as does Zoom, and Youtube hangs with a circular cursor, and Skyrim laaaaags before it shows the menu, and I think it's due to the Bluetooth speaker. ok, so I turned the bluetooth speaker off. I open pavucontrol and it says "waiting to establish connection"; doens't show me nothing.what [18:58] can I try next to diagnose this weird issue? [18:59] zoom .. good luck [18:59] Just kidding here, i mean naming windows here should count as baanable offense tho. [18:59] remove it, a nd linux woirks fine [18:59] Elw3, no, it is a known issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/800914/clock-shows-wrong-time-after-switching-from-ubuntu-to-windows-10 [19:00] I dont have that, and i mean my clock is litterally not existent. The bios resets to 2002, the building year, each boot. [19:00] Yet it showed the correct date. [19:01] Before even network was up. [19:01] they you might want to visit ##hardware [19:01] So i wonder how. [19:01] not an ubuntu issue [19:13] I finally got around to upgrading to 20.04. Now it seems that every time I try to install something I end up with unresolvable dependency conflicts. [19:13] Has anyone else experienced this? [19:13] "something" ?? [19:13] no [19:14] no, that's very rare [19:14] the ppa-purge tool from the ppa-purge repository may be useful to you if you've configured third-party repositories [19:14] when one installes "something", run apt update && apt full-upgrade first, might need a reboot [19:15] then .. you can install "something" [19:16] sarnold: Let me look into ppa-purge [19:16] I do have third-party repositories. [19:22] Wait... why does my sources.list still say bionic for everything? [19:22] an excellent question :) [19:22] This could be a large part of my problem. [19:23] it probably is [19:23] How does that even happen? [19:24] Can I just modify the file and do an apt-update? [19:24] I've only ever seen it when the upgrade failed for some reason, and the upgrader tries to put things back the way they were [19:25] it depends where the process failed; I'd start with another do-release-upgrade myself [19:25] You know what... I think the updated did fail. [19:25] updater* [19:25] @#$% [19:26] I'm going to try running the updater again... [19:27] Nope... that didn't do it. [19:27] Worst-case scenario, I can do a reinstall from scratch, I suppose. I have everything important backed up. [19:27] It's just a little annoying. [19:30] yeah :/ I've seen one or two 'normal' failures before that required a bit of fixing before trying again, and one gigantic set-everything-on-fire failure during an upgrade during the devel release.. thankfully that one was addressed before release [19:31] Side note: I use whole disk encryption. Is that still supported if I install from a flash drive? [19:32] yes, if you mean dm-crypt luks [19:32] yeah, FDE is still supported; it's ecryptfs that's no longer available in the installer [19:33] Okay... I might just reinstall from scratch. That seems the easiest solution. [19:33] Sometimes this is just a thing that happens with an upgrade on top of an upgrade on top of an upgrade... === lucas_ is now known as lucascastro [19:44] jlamothe: in my experience release upgrades are quite likely to fail when you have PPAs or third party packages installed which provide newer versions of packages also in the ubuntu source release, or introduce package dependencies which can't be resolved in the target release. [19:47] tomreyn: Yeah... I have several of those. [19:51] When making a reverse SSH tunnel in Ubuntu, is there a way to force the connection to fail if the port is already in use? Currently I see it just spits out a warning that the port is in use and it picks an arbitrary substitute instead. [19:57] supercom32: how do you set up the connection (which command line?), what's the warning message? [19:58] @tomreyn I just use SSH nothing fancy. [20:01] @tomreyn: "Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port " [20:02] @tomreyn: And something simple like "ssh -N -R 3391:localhost:22 my_user@192.168.1.15" [20:02] so you need to open 2 ports, 1 out, one in .. what guide did you follow for reverse dns? [20:02] rr, reverse ssh [20:03] @oerheks: I didn't follow any guide per-se. It was easy enough to get working. What I didn't know how to do was to get ssh to fail if the port is already taken. Rather, it seems to just pick another port arbitrarily and continue on it's marry way. [20:07] ssh -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes [20:08] supercom32: ^ i haven't tried this, yet, just looked it up on the web [20:08] https://superuser.com/questions/352268/can-i-make-ssh-fail-when-a-port-forwarding-fails [20:09] @tomreyn: Ah ha! That sounds exactly like the option I was looking for. thanks! [20:09] you're welcome [20:15] lotuspsychje If I wanted to try to update to the latest maineline kernel (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8/), would I need to run 'sudo dpkg -i' for the headers, image-unsigned, and modules? (i.e., amd64/linux-headers-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb, [20:15] amd64/linux-image-unsigned-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb, and amd64/linux-modules-5.8.0-050800-generic_5.8.0-050800.202008022230_amd64.deb) [20:15] Ezro, it is all explaind howto install, in the wiki [20:16] and it is for testing only, no support [20:16] !mainline [20:16] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [20:17] Ezro: https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh is nice if you need to run mainline kernels for a while. obviously also unsupported here. [20:20] Awesome. Thanks tomreyn! I'll give that a go. [20:25] Oof. Still didn't fix my trackpad buttons. :-/ [20:30] tomreyn if I want to switch to the latest supported kernel, would I search for 'ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh -r --rc' and use the highest rc version? [20:31] Reinstalling... wish me luck... [20:35] Ezro: you just need -i to install the latest, add --rc only if you also want release candidates. [20:36] I ran -i, but doesn't that install the latest non-supported? [20:36] Ezro: oh, you asked about the latest *supported* kernel - none of these are supported [20:37] Ezro: to switch to the latest supported kernel image, you can uninstall all unsupported ones and reboot, or just reboot and select a supported one from the grub menu [20:38] When I ran -u I only saw the v5.8.0-050800 kernel and not my original one. If I remove the v5.8.0-050800 will that revert back or brick? lol [20:39] this script only manages mainline builds, not those installed by default. [20:39] it also doesn't uninstall any supported kernel you already had installed [20:39] anywas, as i said, this is not supported, that includes myself. [20:40] That's fair, heh. Thanks for the help, though! === foxen__ is now known as foxen_ [21:59] Hi. Is it possible to shrink a lvm-on-luks disk online, meaning from within ubuntu and not from a live USB? [22:04] anyone know what causes there errors?: https://imgur.com/a/8lr4Fa1 [22:05] s/there/these/ [22:07] that clean action, looks like shutdown dirty, or failure of the drive [22:07] ouch :/ [22:09] unless you're trying to boot off it, try disconnecting the removable disk, and you should boot fine. [22:09] It boots I just get those strange errors. [22:10] which ubuntu release and kernel version do you have there? [22:11] Linux joe-pc 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 00:24:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:11] it's the latest 20.04 [22:12] the initramfs message is common, it's a known (but non-critical) bug that's being worked on,. the psmouse warning is about your mouse, if the mouse works fine, just ignore it. [22:13] the scsi errors are probably about detection of an external storage (usb connected)? but ocould be internal, too. [22:13] the drive is USB connected. [22:15] try disconnecting other usb devices you don't stictly need now. reonnect it to a different usb port which is physicall distant to the one you used so far (i.e. opposite dside of computer). [22:15] *side [22:16] this could be a connectivity issue (broken connector or wires), or a problematic usb host controller which doesn't switch between different usb versions well. [22:16] pther than those messages, there is no indication anything in wrong. The symstem runs fine. [22:17] if that external disk is active in use, it is shutdown dirty.. [22:17] so, close stuff and unmount it properly [22:18] I always do reboot or shutdown. I never just turn it off. [22:20] i think oerheks is suggesting that the drive may not have been 'safely removed' [22:20] i.e. maybe you did not unmount the file system on it that were mounted, just pulled the connector [22:28] Well... I ended up formatting and reinstalling. Fortunately, I'm good at keeping backups. [22:28] Thus begins the long process of restoring. [22:42] oerheks: thanks [22:42] have fun! [23:17] i have just started "apt upgrade" on ubuntu 18 and it is downloading from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main [23:17] is that good or bad ? [23:17] 749 packages ..
