| ses1984 | not strictly an ubuntu question, but in the memtest that comes with the bootable iso, what diagnostic info can be learned if the memtest just freezes early, i'm 62% through test#2 and it's just been here for a good long while, the + in metext86+ is flashing that's it | 01:52 |

| ses1984 | oh boy. i went down to 1 out of 4 sticks. 1st stick made it slightly farther than all 4. 2nd stick froze about the same place but then the screen turned black shortly after freezing | 01:55 |
| sarnold | ses1984: heh :( those sound like bad results :( | 01:55 |
| ses1984 | i've had a system for a long time, it was slowly starting to show problems like it wouldn't start on the first try from a cold boot, just nothing would happen, no POST codes showing on the little included 2 digit display | 01:57 |
| ses1984 | i suspected maybe the motherboard was bad? got a brand new mobo and CPU, it's worse somehow | 01:58 |
| leftyfb | ses1984: try #hardware | 01:58 |
| ses1984 | thanks | 01:59 |
| sarnold | ses1984: that feels a bit like problems that might come about due to failing capacitors, but that's just my wild speculation | 02:01 |
| ses1984 | failing capacitors like on the PSU or GPU? the mobo (and cpu) were just replaced | 02:02 |

| forthewin | hi guys. I converted an rpm to deb and installed Oracle, but when I try to run "Get Started" or "Run SQL Command Line" i get permission denied, help please? | 02:28 |
| sarnold | forthewin: which rpm did you convert? with which tool? did you have any trouble installing it? what is "oracle"? (they make a few thousand products..) | 02:31 |
| forthewin | sarnold: oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm with alien | 02:32 |
| forthewin | sarnold: no trouble installing it worked fine | 02:32 |
| forthewin | sarnold: it's oracle 11g | 02:33 |
| sarnold | forthewin: check the /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle* scripts and make sure that what they're supposed to do make sense on an ubuntu system .. rhels are pretty different, and perhaps the postinst script needs some modification | 02:34 |
| forthewin | sarnold: ok thank you | 02:40 |
| sarnold | forthewin: if there's nothing obvious there, and there's no log files that report what the actual error is, then you'll probably have to strace it or similar | 02:41 |
| sarnold | good luck with that though :( I fully expect oracle to have disabled ptrace | 02:41 |

| ses1984 | i recently had some hardware problems, replaced the bad hardware (i am pretty sure anyway), but still having problems in ubuntu, it freezes shortly after booting into the OS, is there anything i can do to verify or repair the system? or reconfigure it for the new hardware? | 12:06 |
| tatertots | ses1984: it was freezing before and after replacing hardware? yes/no | 12:09 |
| ses1984 | yes | 12:09 |
| ses1984 | but if i boot into windows i was able to burn-in test with furmark and prime95, no problems | 12:10 |
| ses1984 | memtest ran for 8 hours no problems | 12:10 |
| tatertots | ses1984: what hardware was replaced? | 12:10 |
| ses1984 | my current theory is that the old bad hardware messed up the operating system, so even after replacing the bad hardware, still having problems in the os | 12:10 |
| ses1984 | cpu and motherboard were replaced, moved from intel to amd architecture | 12:10 |
| tatertots | ses1984: does it freeze when using LiveDVD/LiveUSB installation media? | 12:13 |
| ses1984 | at this point im not even certain the hardware was ever bad? | 12:13 |
| ses1984 | not sure, didn't use it for more than a few minutes at a time in liveusb | 12:13 |
| prappl93 | ses1984, were you experiencing issues in Windows as well before hand or just on Ubuntu? Also, what graphics card are you using in case that's the culprit as well | 12:14 |
| tatertots | ses1984: keep that LiveUSB/LiveDVD handly, you'll need it | 12:14 |
| ses1984 | i am pretty sure i was experiencing issues in windows prior to replacing the hardware but i didn't keep detailed notes. i use both operating systems pretty regularly and i didn't keep detailed notes, i'm not certain of my memories | 12:15 |

| CrackedCracker | Hi everyone, | 13:21 |
| CrackedCracker | I'm running ubuntu 20.04 and after updating firefox today it crashes with a message "Exiting due to channel error." on startup | 13:21 |
| CrackedCracker | I tried disabling all extensions, disabling hardware accleration, but the problem persists | 13:21 |
| CrackedCracker | The curios thing is that it doesn't happen in Safe Mode, but I'm not sure what else can cause the problem | 13:21 |
| CrackedCracker | Any help with debugging would be really appreciated | 13:21 |
| lotuspsychje | CrackedCracker: did you compare with a vanilla FF on another user? | 13:21 |
| CrackedCracker | lotuspsychje: not yet, will try it now | 13:22 |
| CrackedCracker | ok, did that, it starts fine with a fresh user | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | CrackedCracker: ok tnx for testing, you proved it might be user related | 13:28 |
| lotuspsychje | CrackedCracker: maybe try launching FF from a terminal, to catch some errors, and/or a journalctl -f | 13:29 |
| CrackedCracker1 | lotuspsychje: thanks for the help! | 13:38 |
| CrackedCracker1 | The error above ("Exiting due to channel error.") is exactly what appears in the terminal | 13:38 |
| CrackedCracker1 | I tried opening journalctl -f in parallel to see if anything turns up, but apart from rtkit-daemon reporting successful thread creation nothing shows up | 13:38 |
| CrackedCracker | well, now it output a bit more: | 13:39 |
| CrackedCracker | ###!!! [Child][MessageChannel::SendAndWait] Error: Channel error: cannot send/recv | 13:39 |
| CrackedCracker | Exiting due to channel error. | 13:39 |
| CrackedCracker | ###!!! [Child][MessageChannel] Error: (msgtype=0x62001E,name=PLayerTransaction::Msg_Shutdown) Channel error: cannot send/recv | 13:39 |
| lotuspsychje | CrackedCracker: your firefox up to date also? | 13:40 |
| CrackedCracker | apt says there are no updates available and --version says it's 80.0 | 13:40 |
| xtao | for what it's worth my apt also says there are no updates available and i'm running FF 80 and it's working fine | 13:41 |
| xtao | i think it stores config in ~/.config/mozilla ? could mv it out of the way and try again | 13:42 |
| CrackedCracker | yeah, had something to do with my preferences, apparently | 13:49 |
| CrackedCracker | deleted prefs.js and now it's working again | 13:49 |

| krumelmonster | Hi. I want to install a laptop in a "kiosk" mode where no user action is persistent across reboots. Is it a good idea to mount /home/kiosk as tmpfs (or zram?) and additionally create a big on-the-fly encrypted swap? Will the kernel be smart enough to not overflow RAM with what's in the home tmpfs but instead start swapping from tmpfs soon enough? | 14:56 |

| tatertots | bumblefuzz: the same as the working servers | 17:45 |
| oerheks | bumblefuzz, one needs to do a step more in the ssh config | 17:45 |

| prappl93 | You could also do 'ssh-copy-id' to make sure it goes to the correct place | 17:46 |
| bumblefuzz | whoa | 17:46 |
| oerheks | no, key is oke i guess , he needs to disable password, easy peasy | 17:47 |
| bumblefuzz | which terminal do I do that in? | 17:47 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm tryna disable pw but I can't get the key to work | 17:47 |
| bumblefuzz | how does ssh-copy-id work? | 17:47 |
| prappl93 | bumblefuzz, the one from the computer you're trying to copy the keys from | 17:47 |
| oerheks | and restart the ssh service.. | 17:47 |
| prappl93 | bumblefuzz, ssh-copy-id user@host | 17:47 |
| oerheks | it is all in the wiki | 17:47 |
| bumblefuzz | hmmm | 17:47 |
| prappl93 | Then it'll prompt for the password just to verify it's configured properly | 17:47 |
| bumblefuzz | ok, I copied it using that method and login is still requesting a pw | 17:48 |
| bumblefuzz | ?! | 17:48 |
| prappl93 | Is your key you generated password protected? | 17:49 |
| bumblefuzz | nope | 17:49 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm totally confused | 17:50 |
| prappl93 | Is UsePAM set to "yes" in your sshd_config? | 17:51 |
| prappl93 | I'm grasping at straws to figure out what's happening on this box honestly. | 17:51 |
| bumblefuzz | yes | 17:52 |
| bumblefuzz | but it also is in the working machine | 17:52 |
| bumblefuzz | I've never seen anything like this | 17:53 |
| prappl93 | Are you sure you don't have the wrong terminal session open when you're trying to ssh in after copying the key? Like, you're not copying it from Box A to Box C, then ssh'd in to Box B trying to get to C are you? | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: did you restart your sshd after editing /etc/sshd_config on the server? | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | */etc/ssh/sshd_config | 17:54 |
| bumblefuzz | so, technically, I haven't made any changes to the sshd config yet | 17:54 |
| bumblefuzz | if the key authentication is working, it shouldn't prompt me for a password | 17:54 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: ok, what are the permissions of /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys | 17:55 |
| bumblefuzz | same as on the working machine | 17:55 |
| bumblefuzz | -rw-rw-r-- | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: try on the server, chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: and chmod 700 ~/.ssh | 17:57 |
| bumblefuzz | I did a sha256sum of both files and they are identical | 17:58 |
| EriC^^ | ok, can you do it anyways? :D | 17:59 |
| EriC^^ | it's good though that you did so, just trying to make sure the permissions and whatnot is setup right, then we can move on to other stuff | 17:59 |
| bumblefuzz | done | 17:59 |
| bumblefuzz | ok, no password this time | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | ok, cool, type "grep -i authentication /etc/ssh/sshd_config" | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | make sure PubkeyAuthentication yes and RSAAuthentication yes shows up | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | (uncommented obviously) | 18:00 |
| elge | meow there. any idea why netplan wouldnt work? I have a clean configuration, I have netplan.io package installed, it points to renderer networkd, and I do netplan generate and apply w/o success. any idea? | 18:00 |
| lotuspsychje | elge: try asking in #ubuntu-server for likeminded volunteers | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: great, all good? | 18:02 |
| sarnold | elge: it's kind of hard to find out what went wrong when netplan doesn't go :( check journalctl ? | 18:03 |
| bumblefuzz | alls well | 18:04 |
| bumblefuzz | thank you so much | 18:04 |
| bumblefuzz | folder permissions must've been off somehow | 18:04 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: great, no problem | 18:04 |
| bumblefuzz | that scare the sh** outta me | 18:04 |
| bumblefuzz | lol | 18:04 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: yeah its likely the ~/.ssh dir, ssh can be iffy about it i guess | 18:08 |
| bumblefuzz | just to be clear, you used 700 on the folder and 600 on the file, yes? | 18:09 |
| sarnold | "iffy" ---> very helpfully points out when yo'uve made a mistake :) | 18:09 |
| bumblefuzz | what's the reasoning there? | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: yup, it's just the standards of ssh | 18:10 |
| elge | sarnold, thanks, I just had the wrong extension, .cfg instead of .yaml... | 18:11 |
| bumblefuzz | I assume 700 then on all higher folders, as well? | 18:12 |
| bumblefuzz | I don't have a lot of practice with permissions | 18:12 |
| sarnold | 755 for / /home and /home/bumblefuzz are all fine; you might want to make your homedir more restrictive if you never share anything with other users on hte system | 18:13 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: yeah that's a good practice, i think by default ubuntu creates a home dir with r-x as the "others", so everybody can read a person's home dir | 18:13 |
| EriC^^ | i dunno why it even is like that, but it is *shrug* | 18:14 |
| sarnold | EriC^^: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adduser/+bug/48734 | 18:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 48734 in adduser (Ubuntu) "Home permissions too open" [Medium,Opinion] | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | bumblefuzz: yes as mentioned above, leave "/" and "/home" as they are 755, but you can set 700 or 770 for /home/your_user if you dont want anyone to see the contents | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | sarnold: yikes, it's been open since 2006 or so | 18:18 |

| ComputerTech | Hello all | 19:16 |
| ComputerTech | um i am a linux noob | 19:16 |
| ComputerTech | does removing unused packages free memory/ram ? | 19:16 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: it might, if it runs a service at boot | 19:17 |
| ComputerTech | sarnold, how can i check? | 19:17 |
| jilocasin | will definate free hard drive space (though your milage may vary) | 19:17 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: there's no easy way to check | 19:18 |
| ComputerTech | hmm i see | 19:19 |
| PonyToast | Hey guys. I'm trying out Linux again, starting with Ubuntu. Installed it onto an external drive without errors, but now when I log in it goes black and returns to the login. | 19:21 |
| c59fdbdcfe7c | PonyToast: nvidia? | 19:21 |
| jilocasin | odd apt-get update question. Just installed ubuntu server 18.04.5 on seven VM's. Same settings. First auso apt-get update hits 18 repos, then on some machines subsequent ones hit 8 and the others 4. Why is that? | 19:21 |
| PonyToast | I think this is the gdm3 bug for nvidia but I'm not sure how to install the right driver from terminal. | 19:22 |
| sarnold | jilocasin: it might be worthwhile to compare the output of "apt policy" on all the systems to make sure they really are the same | 19:27 |
| aguitel | any graphic photo viewer to heic (iphone photos ) | 19:29 |
| ioria | aguitel, do you mean 'heif' ? | 19:30 |
| aguitel | ioria, appears .heic | 19:31 |
| PonyToast | I can't get it of this login loop | 19:31 |
| sarnold | aguitel: install heif-gdk-pixbuf then try gpicview or pcmanfm | 19:31 |
| jilocasin | sarnold: k, lots of 100 & 500 lines. | 19:31 |
| PonyToast | Reinstalling hasnt helped. Not sure what to do now. I set grub to "quiet" and removed splash. Also didn't work with "nomodset" | 19:32 |
| aguitel | sarnold, will try | 19:32 |
| jilocasin | sarnold: no maention in the man page or via google (lots of apt-cache policy hits though). | 19:34 |
| PonyToast | Ok so I followed the official answer here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop | 19:41 |
| PonyToast | But when I do chown username:username.Xauthority it gives me this error: | 19:42 |
| PonyToast | Chown: missing operand after 'myusername:myusername.Xauthority' | 19:42 |
| jilocasin | PonyToast: I think you might be missing a space. | 19:43 |
| jilocasin | It's chown owner:group file | 19:44 |
| aguitel | sarnold,thanks it works | 19:44 |
| jilocasin | PonyToast: if you are tryon to change the ownership on a file named .Xauthority it needs to be: chown username:username .Xauthority | 19:45 |
| PonyToast | Ok. Did that, no error this time. Main issue still there though, it keeps looping me to login | 19:46 |
| PonyToast | Going to try the second answer and see if it works | 19:47 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | PonyToast Nvidia ? | 19:47 |
| ubottu | PonyToast Nvidia ?: Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. | 19:47 |
| PonyToast | Nomodeset? Oof, I followed instructions that had me change it to "nomodset" | 19:49 |
| PonyToast | Let me check it | 19:49 |
| ComputerTech | hmm, just curious | 19:50 |
| ComputerTech | does anyone have any personal tips of freeing memory? | 19:50 |
| tatertots | ComputerTech: exit the browser or any other things you have open that aren't being used | 19:52 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: the smem tool is pretty handy for finding programs that are using a lot of memory | 19:52 |
| ComputerTech | not for pc | 19:52 |
| ComputerTech | for server i mean | 19:52 |
| ComputerTech | sarnold hmm ok, guessign i have to install smem? | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | reduce video ram allocation if you have internal graphics. | 19:52 |
| ComputerTech | as i said | 19:53 |
| === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr | ||
| ComputerTech | it's not a pc | 19:53 |
| ComputerTech | it's a server | 19:53 |
| jilocasin | ComputerTech: top |more | 19:53 |
| tomreyn | so proper server hardware? | 19:53 |
| ComputerTech | yes vps | 19:53 |
| tatertots | ComputerTech: desktop ubuntu or server edition same rules apply exit applications or processes that are consuming memory | 19:53 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: yes | 19:54 |
| ComputerTech | sarnold ok :) | 19:54 |
| jilocasin | ComputerTech: htop if you want something prettier and sortable | 19:58 |
| ComputerTech | ok :) | 19:58 |
| PonyToast | ubottu: nomodeset got me to the desktop. Now going to try and fix the nvidia drivers. Thank you! | 20:02 |
| ubottu | PonyToast: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:02 |
| PonyToast | Oh, wow. It was such an informed answer I thought it was a person | 20:03 |
| PonyToast | Now I feel dumb | 20:03 |
| Bashing-om | PonyToast: \o/ | 20:03 |
| jilocasin | the number of repos called by sudo apt-get update seems to fluctuate. I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much. Thanks anyway. | 20:06 |

| amazoniantoad | I'm trying to run xen hypervisor on ubuntu 20.04 but I can't seem to get it to boot. Has anyone else had this issue? | 20:09 |
| bougyman | So, when I use startx from tty1 to start my X session, gnome-terminal doesn't run. | 20:12 |
| bougyman | Ubuntu 20.04LTS brand new install. | 20:12 |
| bougyman | gnome-terminal ran fine under the default DE | 20:12 |
| oerheks | i think 20.04/gnome uses GDM ? | 20:12 |
| bougyman | no error, when I run it from a terminal, it just hangs and never returns anything until I ctrl-c | 20:12 |
| oerheks | startx is the old way | 20:12 |
| bougyman | oerheks: I disabled gdm. | 20:12 |
| oerheks | oh, not worth to mention? | 20:12 |
| * oerheks walks away | 20:13 | |
| bougyman | I don't need a display manager for this. It's a virtualbox instance. I run it on my mac cause I can't stand using macos (work machine) | 20:13 |
| amazoniantoad | Xen is in the Ubuntu 20.04 repository but for whatever reason it just doesn't work. It's so weird | 20:13 |
| bougyman | I suppose I could have gdm start stumpwm for me (my window manager), but I'm just trying to find out why it's necessary. | 20:14 |
| bougyman | can gnome-terminal only run in a gnome session or something? | 20:14 |
| bougyman | https://gist.github.com/bougyman/e7df19ad1f5bf23b4bae48bf5a05ea62 | 20:14 |
| bougyman | there's where it is when I ctrl-c | 20:15 |
| bougyman | maybe there's some debug flag... | 20:15 |
| bougyman | same thing with gnome-terminal -vvvvvvvvvvvvvv | 20:16 |
| bougyman | OOH NICE, I got a new message with that: # Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached | 20:16 |
| bougyman | That looks to me like it wants a path in dbus taht doesn't exist. | 20:17 |

| ChmEarl | amazoniantoad, I have working xen installs for xen-4.12 and xen-4.14. The distro xen-4.11 is dated Mar 2020, too old | 20:31 |
| ChmEarl | amazoniantoad, in focal | 20:32 |
| howell | How would I find which apt package an application came from? e.g. "ping" comes from "iputils-ping" | 20:32 |
| === quasineutral4 is now known as quasineutral | ||
| amazoniantoad | ChmEarl, What does this imply? That xen isn't up to date? | 20:45 |
| rypervenche | howell: Normally you could do: dpkg -S $(which ping) , but the ping you should be looking for is /bin/ping in this case. | 20:46 |
| rypervenche | So dpkg -S /bin/ping | 20:46 |
| ChmEarl | amazoniantoad, upstream xen released an important patch on June 7 which fixed a big issue in focal | 20:46 |

| hansh | how do i invoke nautilus from dbus? trying to use https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/file-manager-interface/ , but this does seemingly NOTHING: dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowFolders string:"file:///etc" string:"" | 21:05 |
| sarnold | hansh: try firing up dbus-monitor and see if that helps explain anything? | 21:06 |
| hansh | yikes, dbus-monitor prints ~1886 lines every time i try to execute it, https://paste.debian.net/1162196/ | 21:11 |
| sarnold | hansh: *wow* | 21:13 |
| sarnold | hansh: maybe try executing your command from xterm or urxvt or something that's unlikely to send dbus messages itself? | 21:14 |
| oerheks | what is 'invoke nautilus from dbus' ?? | 21:15 |
| emilien | how can I create a file from terminal that start with dash example -filename, I tried '' | 21:26 |
| sarnold | emilien: touch -- -hello ; ls -l -- -hello | 21:27 |
| sarnold | emilien: most programs respect -- to mean "end of arguments", but some don't. you can usually use ./-hello for those, eg touch ./-goodbye ; ls -l ./-goodbye | 21:28 |
| jenia | I'm going through a tutorial devstack and there have a section where they create authorized keys: https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/guides/multinode-lab.html#set-up-ssh | 21:29 |
| jenia | what's that part at the end that says jesse@spacey.local? | 21:30 |
| sarnold | jenia: that's a comment field, to help you keep track of which username / server has the private portion of the key | 21:33 |
| jenia | ok thanks | 21:36 |
| jenia | you know, running the devstack script (which downloads tones of packages and so on) has caused me to go overboard on my internet limit by like 75% | 21:37 |

| hugotty | Hi, my ubuntu server that functions as my inernet gateway suddenly became unreachable today. The system was still running, just not reachable over the network. After hard resetting I tried to find out what happened from /var/log/syslog but it seems like the system just stopped logging after it became unreachable. Is there any way to find out what | 21:48 |
| hugotty | happened? | 21:48 |
| sarnold | hugotty: was there anything on the monitor? quite often a message will be printed there when the kernel panics | 21:49 |
| tatertots | hugotty: store logs in some other separate location rsyslog | 21:49 |
| tatertots | hugotty: that way you have logs when something belly up | 21:50 |
| tatertots | hugotty: as it stands..you have no log of the events | 21:50 |
| hugotty | I wasn't able to hook up a monitor :( But I have moved the box to somewhere else now so I can do it next time | 21:51 |
| hugotty | Pretty sure it will happen again as it has already happened twice today | 21:52 |
| sarnold | ouch | 21:52 |
| hugotty | tatertots: what do you mean exactly? I still have the logs, they just have a hole in them after a certain time | 21:53 |
| hugotty | and then they continue from the moment after the hard reset | 21:54 |
| tatertots | hugotty: did you view your logs? | 21:55 |

| ckb | As a daemon... I mean | 22:56 |
| ckb | ... /etc/init/*.conf? | 22:57 |
| MI6 | ckb: What do you mean? Have you tried 'php <filename> & disown' ? | 22:57 |
| MI6 | Hello? | 22:58 |
| tacomaster | I have https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2449677&page=1 thread open but I have some questions. How do I apply the StartupWMClass= in the .desktop file | 23:04 |
| ckb | MI6, I'm sorry. Not through CLI. | 23:04 |
| ckb | Wait. Wrong channel. I want it to run as a daemon. | 23:05 |
| MI6 | ckb: Try 'nohup php <filename> &'. Or if you want the output logged to a file, use 'nohup php filename > output.log'. | 23:07 |
| MI6 | Oh you want /etc/init | 23:08 |
| MI6 | My bad | 23:08 |

| MI6 | ckb: This stackoverflow thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2036654/run-php-script-as-daemon-process | 23:10 |
| MI6 | It could be helpful | 23:10 |
| MI6 | I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do | 23:10 |

| MI6 | Oh sorry :) | 23:11 |
| * MI6 tired | 23:11 | |
| ckb | <3 thanks for the help | 23:12 |
| MI6 | ckb: I'd try the second answer. I usually just use nohup though. | 23:13 |
| MI6 | It's easier. | 23:13 |
| ckb | Well nohup will restart it? how do I start it on boot? | 23:13 |
| sarnold | ckb: if you want a thing to start on boot, restart when it dies, etc, then it's probably best to write a systemd service file for it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd#Writing_unit_files | 23:13 |
| MI6 | ckb: I don't think there is any way to do that with nohup. You need a systemd service for it. | 23:14 |
| ckb | sarnold, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. | 23:14 |
| sarnold | ckb: on problem with systemd is that the guides for doing things are either too simplistic or far too detailed; I don't yet know a simple guide to writing a good service file :( but hopefully you can find what you need .. | 23:16 |
| ckb | I literally need an extremely simplistic systemd that runs "php /path/file.php" on startup and as a service | 23:17 |
