=== zbenjamin is now known as Guest82134 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:18] Hey all. Has anyone managed to get postfix to work with dovecot+amavisd+clamav+spamassassin+mysql on 20.04? Someone decided to make it run chroot by default tired of trying to work my way around it. Has anyone got this working already? I'm at the point where I'm just going to recompile my own postfix. [02:20] nelgin: you may have better success in #ubuntu-server but it's a bit late for americas and a bit early for europe [02:21] for an issue with that many moving pieces, it might be easier to post about it on askubuntu.com, that way you can post all the config files and any log messages in one convenient place [02:21] I understand. It's only 9:30pm here in Texas but yes, might be a better place. Thanks. [02:21] True. Let me do that instead. [02:22] Oh, that's stack exchange site. I don't much care for posting there. [02:23] People would rather tell you that you didn't use "code" tags than help solve the problem :) [02:23] aww :( [02:23] I'll use the buntu forums [02:23] it's been years since I used to spend hours on SE sites, but I always liked fixing up new folks posts so they stood a chance of getting an answer [02:23] yikes, good luck :) [02:23] ? [02:24] That bad? [02:24] well, there's a handful of folks who seem to know what they're doing, but the amount of completely wrong stuff I've seen there makes me reluctant to let anyone head there, hehe [02:27] I wish they wouldn't do stuff like that. If I wanted something chroot, then I'd chroot it. [02:27] CentOS has named and named-chroot so you can pick. I'm moving from CentOS because I wanted to be more up to date - but this is really killing me. I might just go with Fedora instead. [02:29] No, I'm just going to compile my own postfix. I don't have time to deal with it. === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [04:12] Hi, never used apparmor before. I tried googling some things on how to view apparmor properties of a file (like selinux) but I'm coming up short. I'm trying to get a qemu-kvm VM to run through a custom script but even though the file permissions are correct and libvirt is running as root, it's getting an access denied error, which leads me to [04:12] believe it's apparmor related. [04:13] /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.vga (my script) has the same exact (regular) permissions as /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 [04:17] see 'groups' are you member of kvm and libvirtd ? [04:18] oerheks the groups are libvirt and libvirt-qemu [04:18] but yeah my user is a member, has been. [04:19] oke, it was a hint, add that script to this group??\ [04:19] so this script, all it does is this: exec /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 `echo "$@" | sed 's|05:00.0|05:00.0,x-vga=on|g' | sed 's|06:00.0|06:00.0,x-vga=on|g'` [04:19] and it has the same exact permissions as the file it calls [04:20] same owner and group [04:20] This has worked on plenty of other systems (debian, fedora, gentoo) but oddly enough ubuntu is really strange for me so IDK what it might be. [04:22] no idea there :-( [04:22] I just found this, am looking into it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/471345/changing-libvirt-emulator-permission-denied [04:24] the only thing i could think of was that bug qemu needs to be part of the kvm group as oerheks says [04:24] he is using qemu.. [04:25] i had that with gnome-boxes too [04:26] I see, "/usr/bin/kvm rmix," and "/usr/local/bin/* PUx," what is rmix and PUx? [04:34] man, this is strange. [04:37] I'm so stuck. can't get GPU passthrough to work, hoping this would help it but can't even get that to work [04:39] this tutor worked for me https://blog.zerosector.io/2018/07/28/kvm-qemu-windows-10-gpu-passthrough/ [04:40] What's crazy is I used to do GPU passthrough years ago [04:40] it shows up in my VM, but error 43. [04:41] I've tried so many things to get rid of that error, just doesn't go away :/ [04:41] the only thing different is that I'm using Q35 [04:45] if I go back to the "default" way of doing this, there's *never* any output on my 2nd GPU [05:00] hmm, might not be applying the vfio-pci early enough, gotta check this new mod. === mnabid is now known as mnabid_ === mnabid_ is now known as mnabid [06:24] hey doing a release upgrade via cli and it says "inhibiting until ctrl+c is pressed" [06:24] what is it inhibiting? is it actually doing the upgrade, there's no progress bar, no info, nothing [06:27] release upgrade to 20.04? [06:28] upgrade path is not released, AFAIK [06:30] oerheks: yes [06:30] 19.10 => 20.04 [06:30] sudo do-release-upgrade [06:30] it asked me if i wanted to staert the upgrade and i said yes, and it said to continue press enter and right under that it said inhibiting until ctrl+c is pressed [06:30] oh, oke. not for LTS > LTS [06:30] i just pressed enter and it started, this is a really bad message... :P [06:31] that continue to press enter shuld be the last item, not first [06:52] Hello. I have installed Ubuntu Focal and it's very slow... Also a black screen when starting. Any idea?

[06:54] Everything is very very slow [06:56] In Live USB it was fine. I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 by formatting / root partition with Fedora 25 and reusing /home and swap partitions [06:56] cfoch if you're running a nvidia graphics card it might help to make sure the proprietary drivers are installed [06:58] I almost cannot use fui, every click is a 1 minute wait === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 === Trace_8 is now known as Trace_ [07:09] Ohhh [07:09] This computer has 2GB of RAM [07:09] Not enough for Focal Fossa right? [07:11] I still wonder why it worked fine in LiveUSB [07:11] Without slownesses === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [07:32] Crashplan in their infinite wisdom on linux have put a desktop.sh shell script to start the gui app in /usr/local/crashplan/bin/desktop.sh [07:32] What would be a good option to be able to easily access this? [07:34] cfoch, I tested 20.04/focal using 2gb laptops along with prior & later (groovy) releases.. I'd not use gnome though myself but a lighter GUI with 2gb ram [07:36] I use Ubuntu Focal with gui. LiveUSB works fine; installed terrible. [07:38] !specs [07:38] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [07:39] use a lighter desktop? [07:39] mate, xubuntu,.. [07:39] !flavors [07:39] Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [07:52] cfoch, in my testing Lubuntu is lightest, however it's Qt5 based so if you're using GTK3 apps; Xubuntu may end up being lighter (Lubuntu is now Qt5 so does better with KDE/Qt apps) [08:05] cfoch, check for videodrivers in the update settings menu :-) [08:07] hi, so I successfuly set up a wifi AP using NetworkManager, but I'd like to change some things, like static DHCP leases. Is that possible? What is it using as a dhcp server under the hood? === beaver|blc is now known as beaver|bbl [08:24] Hi all, I like the mate desktop environment and was thinking of upgrading my ubuntu system to 20.4. However, I'm thinking of using the ubuntu-mate iso, is this safe to do so? [08:24] because it's not official ubuntu [08:25] rbotoml, Ubuntu-MATE is an official flavor of Ubuntu [08:25] rbotoml, official flavors can be seen at https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours (you'll note that's ubuntu.com) [08:26] guiverc: oh, so it'll be safe? I mean, the ISO will not be tampered with? As that's what I'm scared of in general with linux, what happens if someone tampers with the iso [08:26] guiverc: cheers! [08:27] rbotoml, I'd not ask google or a search engine for official flavor websites, but trust ubuntu.com (asking for lubuntu can have you send to other unofficial sites that offer to provide it... stick to official sites) [08:27] alright cheers! [08:28] one should check the iso after download.. [08:28] rbotoml, linux mint have suffered altered ISOs, but that's never occurred with Ubuntu (website managed by Canonical or company; likewise for official flavor sites) [08:28] !md5sum [08:28] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which a checksum is provided), see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu [08:29] I'd 100% agree with checksum validation ! [08:29] guiverc: Do you remember what was altered? [08:30] sorry I don't (not a Mint user so didn't take much notice) [08:30] So if I install ubuntu mate over ubuntu other than the gnome DE what else would I be 'missing'? [08:30] a hack with a malicious download url, https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994 [08:30] I'd like to know the consequences if any of going down this route [08:31] rbotoml, very little... Main `ubuntu` may not have 'universe' enabled by default.. that's the major difference I can think of [08:32] actually that won't be noticed; 'universe' is enabled on MATE & all flavors by default [08:32] ah ok [08:34] oerheks: wow.... does this sort of think happen all the time to ISOs across the linux universe? I mean, anyone can do this right? If they host they're own mirror [08:34] No. [08:35] this is one of the few attempts i know, in 10 years. [08:35] download by the source, or verified torrents https://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [08:36] Right I see [08:37] main difference I can think of between mate & gnome is the different programs, mate uses caja instead of nautilus, pluma instead of gedit, etc... programs are very similar but each is more efficient on the intended desktop... nautilus/caja = file manager, pluma/gedit text editors etc for each app [08:38] Do the fella at canonical check that the flavours of ubuntu are not adding in malicious stuff in their isos? Do the people maintaining the flavours have to get approval in anyway from canonical? [08:38] guiverc: I like the way mate 'looks' and I think it's better for older hardware it certainly feels that way, I could be wrong [08:39] mate gives the old gnome2 look .. [08:39] oerheks: Which looks good imo [08:39] rbotoml, another BIG difference, for LTS releases main Ubuntu desktop (GNOME) has 5 years of supported life, flavors only come with 3 years (for desktop)... not an issue for most people as they release-ugprade before the 3 years anyway [08:40] rbotoml, I agree re: MATE looks & feel, plus lighter than GNOME, in my experience anyway [08:40] guiverc: why can't ubuntu just do a rolling release? [08:41] err... if you find a huge group of people who test it, ... [08:41] rbotoml, I'm on groovy currently, been on it since day after 20.04/focal release.. I consider my being on *development* cycle ~equal to rolling.. but their is always RHINO [08:41] rolling release sounds simple, still there are many variants on that theme.. and is exhausting [08:41] rbotoml, https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/06/ubuntu-rolling-release-rhino-tool [08:42] cheers! [08:43] * oerheks waiting for the upgrade path release 18.04 > 20.04 [08:44] there are benefits to being on the stable release as oerheks is !! [08:46] well, experienced users can go wild on any release, i stick to LTS for the most common support issues. i do have a 2nd machine on 20.04 already, it is beautifull! [08:48] * guiverc has a dual boot on this box; the other OS is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS should this box give me trouble...

Do the people maintaining the flavours have to get approval in anyway from canonical? [09:25] rbotoml, not again please, yes all isos and packages on the server are checked and tested.

And please, use another forum than this global Ubuntu support IRC channel. Thank you! [09:32] I'll do some more reading, sorry fellas. Cheers for answering those questions [09:47] Good morning!

[13:53] I guess NTFS [13:53] sigv, oerheks, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wQGnYmshkp/ this is an example trying to install vim, when `apt update` or `apt install -f` runs it's the same [13:58] TeleGhost: first, that is a #windows questions. Second, just be aware, if you're going to install Windows on a machine with Ubuntu with intent of dual booting, you'll need to re-install/recover grub on said machine after Windows is installed. [13:58] no no dual boot [13:58] rustedrat: should check what the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.postintall is actually trying to configure. [13:59] .postinst * [14:00] I got error message telling me I should unmount device or something like usb device is busy [14:00] so I can't burn iso image on usb [14:00] rustedrat: also, wondering whether unpacking a newer version of mysql-server would have a fixed postinst script. Could try that. [14:01] oh windows question ok [14:01] I tried to make a dpkg -i *.deb with mysql, didn't work, is that what you mean? [14:03] how do I unmount usb [14:03] ? [14:03] in terminal? [14:03] yes [14:03] TeleGhost: do you intend to use it with uefi? [14:03] (only uefi) [14:03] uefi I don't know what that is? [14:03] TeleGhost: it's a booting method [14:03] rustedrat, i see : 1 pacotes atualizados, 2 pacotes novos instalados, 0 a serem removidos e 63 não atualizados. [14:04] TeleGhost: what is the output of "lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:04] ? [14:04] yeah, it gives that message, but then it fails with the postinstall triggers from mysql [14:04] TeleGhost: it's a command for the terminal [14:04] rustedrat, you need to fix this, 63 not updated... run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade # and reboot, then try again [14:04] I don't but I just want to unmount usb [14:05] I know* [14:05] yeah [14:05] without proper updating, installing software fails. [14:05] TeleGhost: that's what im trying to do [14:05] Let me try, one sec [14:06] oerheks: what I'm thinking is dpkg is trying to run a broken postinst before unpacking the new fixed postinst, if that's the underlying problem [14:06] https://termbin.com/gpjl [14:06] I am of that theory too sigv [14:06] sigv, that too.. not sure how to fix this [14:06] TeleGhost: type "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" "sudo umount /dev/sdb2" [14:07] because the person told me that could install everything fine before trying mysql-server [14:08] Also, as additional info, I already tried to purge, autoremove and dpkg remove it, but it wont go away [14:08] okay Eric^ thanks I think this worked [14:08] rustedrat: mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-8.0*.postinst ~/ [14:08] TeleGhost: ok, no problem [14:08] rustedrat: then, dpkg --configure -a [14:09] rustedrat: then, apt install mysql server again. This will then install the update and run the post-install script on that. [14:09] one sec, the person went to grab a cipotle...Love how people ask for help and leave me hanging [14:11] rustedrat: the idea i have behind this is that removing the pending postinstall script will "unlock" dpkg configuration failure and by extension apt. You can then install the newer patched version. Makes sense? [14:15] yes, it does [14:16] I just hope dpkg is as smart as I think that will keep locked [14:17] That will not* [14:22] sigv, trying to run the full-upgrade after removing the postinst give this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tk3wrVp4nb/ [14:23] the `apt install mysql-server`asked for a fix-broken, and gave the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qzdFjTd4mJ/ [14:23] Is there any way I can remove mysql-server completely? === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray === halvors1 is now known as halvors [14:24] I tried removing that .deb, but apt still thinks it is in cache, so I don't think it is a corrupted package [14:28] and one thing you guys are correct, the syste is in 20.04.1, not the latest [14:28] which may be breaking the things === halvors1 is now known as halvors [14:43] Any thoughts? I'm trying to find a way to make dpkg forget that mysql exists somehow, since I am having trouble removing it and can't reinstall a newer version because the previous is broken [14:43] rustedrat, .. so, you did not update properly, and reboot? [14:43] It is failing midway in the reboot [14:43] in the update sorry [14:44] if you look the first paste I posted, it has theerror that us happening [14:44] interesting.. you did not mention that, not helpfull. [14:45] i am off for diner, maybe someone else can help. [14:45] Sorry, I just got that confirmation [14:45] can you use synaptic to completely wipe out mysql and fix broken pkgs? [14:45] thanks for the insights tho [14:46] not sure, to isntall synaptic I would have to be able to install it using dpkg, right? and dpkg keeps failing because it says mysql isn't properly configured [14:46] that's a deadlock situation, and I'm not sure how to work with it [14:47] sudo apt install synaptic gives you errors? [14:47] Like, the full-upgrade gives this outuput: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wrZQ7K4QHY/ [14:48] and yes, the same erros with this paste. bascially, mysql-server is stuck in a pseudo installed state [14:48] and that prevents me to install or uninstall anything [14:50] If I try to dpkg configure it, it is nto giving any error message anymore [14:50] but it still broken [14:51] dpkg -l | grep mysql ... what are the 2 characters in the beginning? [14:57] pavlos, https://file.io/4bO1F24UeleP sorry, people sent me an image instead of the output [14:58] but as you can see, there seens to be a werd situation where core thinks it should install version .3, when all are .4 [14:58] I"m having trouble finding a way to fix that [15:00] rustedrat: 404 file not found ... I'd like to get a list of what mysql is installed, dpkg -l | grep mysql should show that. The first 2 chars indicate status of pkg [15:01] rustedrat: get mysql removed, then do a dist upgrade [15:01] https://file.io/oh7soO3zrb81 [15:01] does this link work? [15:02] no, 404 again [15:03] the heck [15:03] I'll use imgur [15:08] can you follow this guide ... https://www.fosstechnix.com/tutorial/mysql/uninstall-mysql-8-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts/ [15:09] https://imgur.com/a/j16587h [15:09] server is ri, client is iU [15:09] server is ri, client is rU [15:16] rustedrat: sudo dpkg --purge mysql-server-8.0 gives you error? [15:20] Asked the person to run it, one sec [15:21] but the purging from that post gives https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QB3bRY799f/ [15:22] dpkg purge give: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VpNdYmPKQr/ === hugh_marera_ is now known as hugh_marera [15:23] Why is freeipa-server available on 16.04, 18.04, 19.10, but not 20.04? [15:25] northstrider: https://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg5759403.html [15:26] leftyfb: Ah thanks, how did you find that? I was looking but couldn't see anything like that [15:27] google [15:27] northstrider: 4th result when searching for "ubuntu 20.04 freeipa-server" [15:28] leftyfb: Doesn't show at all for me [15:29] search in incognito - can't see it [15:29] ended up being the 3rd result on the 2nd page in incognito [15:30] hm [15:32] Hello, can somebody fetch me package named "linux-libc-dev_3.13.0-176.227_i386.deb"? I cannot find it anywhere on Internet. [15:32] rustedrat: you may have to edit (as root) /var/lib/dpkg/status and manually remove all deps of mysql* pkgs, namely just those two (mysql-server-8.0 , mysql-client-8.0 ) [15:34] hmm [15:34] maybe that's the only way [15:34] what are the risks of it? [15:35] like, would I be completely removing the lines for those two or changing to use the .4 version [15:35] rustedrat: make a copy of status first, modify, see if dpkg is happy. If not, restore the backup copy. [15:36] Ok, will do [15:36] rustedrat: I would just remove the whole section for those 2 pkgs as if they dont exist anymore [15:37] I see [15:37] Maybe doing that I can try to get synaptic or something === Grldfrdom_ is now known as Grldfrdom === Grldfrdom is now known as Grldfrdom_ [15:45] rustedrat: look how the status file is, starts with Package:, Status:, Priority: ... ends with blank line. So if you remove those two (mysql-server-8.0, mysql-client-8.0) then dpkg might be happy. [15:47] rustedrat: then you can sudo apt autoremove; sudo apt autoclean and purge the rest of the mysql pkgs [15:48] oh, that sounds correct [15:49] sh0ne: Looks like you're stiill running Trusty, maybe think about upgrading to a supported release. At any rate, the file is still found on Launchpad at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/i386/linux-libc-dev/3.13.0-24.46 [15:49] I think will work [15:49] Person that asked for my help went to lunch, I'm waiting for their return [16:03] I have a dev system for work that I was given to use, it's a VM instance managed by puppet and LDAP. I want to change my shell, but chsh doesn't work because my login info doesn't exist in /etc/passwd which makes sense. Given that though, how do I change this? I can install nslcd-utils but that sounds like it would require admin access to LDAP and I don't know where to look for the usage of LDAP. [16:04] sorressean: contact your works IT department [16:05] already did. my contact isn't sure, so I'm back to research. where is LDAP access usually configured? Like what directs logins to run through LDAP? I might be able to pull the URI from there--I have root access. [16:07] rustedrat: also, you may have a /var/lib/dpkg/status-old (one day before) which might be good (not having mysql references) [16:09] Anyone seen mdadm: set device faulty failed for /dev/sda1: No such device when you want to set a disk in a raidset on failure ? [16:10] dear NetworkManager, can you stop needlessly hanging up my VPN when underlying wifi is changed? Openconnect can deal with that, please do not break it. Sincerely, jelly [16:12] sorressean, does "getent passwd yourusername" pull the info from ldap? [16:13] jelly: it does! [16:13] this is the compatible (and somewhat portable) way of reading the passwd database, works for both local and remote [16:13] also it shows my shell. [16:14] is it the desired shell now? [16:14] no, I'm trying to figure out how to change that. [16:14]
