[00:35] hello - i have 2 disks with ubuntu installed on each one... i want to eliminate one of them but it is the one with grub on it - how do i move/copy/install grub on the other partition and make it the active one? [00:37] roger_roger: Depends on the partioning scheme ; legacy of EFI ? [00:41] partitioning* [00:41] yes - efi === ktosiek2 is now known as ktosiek === darris_ is now known as darris [00:42] roger_roger: Is there a present /efi partition on the target drive ' sudo parted -l ' ? [00:43] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Nu59fyN1/ [00:43] grub is on the samsung and i want it on the intel [00:50] roger_roger: msdos/gpt are not compatible. A thought - now might be a good time for a clean fresh install . But with a lot of hassle installing grub to the Intel drive in theory can be done - But going to take a lot of time and effort to set up to move the present partition to make up a efi/ partition. Not something I have experience with. [00:51] trying to avoid fresh install - i have so much going on there... [00:53] the samsung disk is the one i want to remove... i think i could do this by booting to a live cd but i don't know how... seems like i need to create a partition on the intel [00:54] roger_roger: Can be done - but moving data ! always a chance of fault/failure - a backup of data is highly recommended. Others here with experience will have to advise if setting a efi/ partition at the end of the drive is possible, to reduce that failure threshhold. [00:56] no data to move - just want to create the parition in the 500mb free space on the intel drive, install grub and then tell the bios to go there [00:57] there's 538 of empty space at the beginning of the intel drive where the efi partition can go [00:57] 538m [00:58] roger_roger: Thing is that making room ( at the start of the disk) will involve moving all the data within that partition). GPT will require that /efi partition. [00:59] there's no data - it is currently free space [00:59] roger_roger: Sounds reasonable to me to use that unused space . makes things much easier. [00:59] yeah - i just don't know how :-) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest86718 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:16] roger_roger: Wait here - for one who does have this experience to guide. [01:17] i created the partition with parted [01:17] whe i run grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p1 it says grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory. [01:29] EriC^^: ^^ are you available ? [01:50] is there a guide available to use qemu to boot tails, kali, or raspbian from a USB or SD card? Whether on ubuntu or on ubuntu server ? [02:02] I'm trying to setup a PXE server on a Ubuntu 18.06 VM. DHCP and DNS is ne by my pfSense VM. I have it configured to give out 192.168.1.4 as the tftp server. I am following the instructions at vandewerken.com.au/blog/linux/linux-pxe-server-in-heterogeneous-network-with-existing-dhcp-server-stage-1-memtest/ but I can't get dnsmasq to start I keep getting the error failed to create listening socket for 192.168.1.4: Address [02:02] already in use please help me [02:11] MannyLNJ, 18.06? Check your release, there was no Ubuntu release in 2018-June (18.06) [02:12] guiverc, one moment [02:14] I had my version wrong it is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS [02:16] MannyLNJ: https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/ansible/usb_install/usb_quick_start.html [02:16] MannyLNJ there is a pxe server setup as one of the later steps [02:17] https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/ansible/usb_install/usb_quick_start.html [pxe] gw [02:19] It may be more work to sort out how it is built so you know what is going on, but it should build you a working server and I can answer questions about the process [02:22] CarlFK, I will look that over. Thank you [02:45] hola [02:46] hi [02:50] hello [03:09] I'm running ubuntu+fluxbox, many programs are dependent on gnome(xchat, audaciou etc). Is there a way to install them independently? [03:46] rongx1an, I suspect it's not that they're dependent on GNOME itself, but the GTK+ toolkit ; eg. I see no GNOME depends in https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/audacious [03:48] I followed a few of the depends links & only say libgtk etc [03:49] rongx1an, the obvious answer is using "--no-install-recommends" [03:59] quiverc, resolved, thanks a lot. === ktosiek2 is now known as ktosiek === Napsterbater is now known as Guest93273 === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [05:48] I'm having difficulty with printing in ubuntu [05:48] it never works for me [05:48] The printer is there, the job says pending [05:48] but never prints [06:21] anyone here know how to get ssh tunneling to work using an ssh config on the jump box? === akem_ is now known as akem === jeffguorg_ is now known as jeffguorg [08:20] hi! i got an ubuntu server 18.04.5 lts in an offline enviroment that needs a desktop. according to docs i can use ubuntu desktop 18.04.5 dvd, use apt-cdrom, apt update and apt install ubuntu-desktop. but it doesnt seem to find ubuntu-desktop package? [08:22] what am i missing here? [08:35] bump? [08:51] why does it need a desktop? ubuntu server usually is used without the desktop, ubuntu desktop is used with a desktop [08:57] it need to run tools which requires X during install [09:08] Is it correct that the GA kernels of LTS releases only receive CVE/Critical updates after the first two years of support? It is indicated at the bottom of this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2FSupport.LTS_Kernel_Support_Schedule [09:11] neic, I believe you're reading it incorrectly. GA kernels are supported the full life of the product, as are HWE kernels. The HWE kernel advances every 6 months for the first two years (ie. 18.04 advanced to use 18.10's kernel & stack, then 19.04's, then 19.10's before using 20.04's GA stack from then on). That's the significance of the two years [09:11] * guiverc adds in my words anyway [09:13] I believe I recall prior cases (12.04 maybe) where in the last few days of it's 5 year cycle, a CVE annoucement came out stating to get that patched you had to switch to HWE; but it was days before it's EOL anyway (significant if you were planning on using ESM though probably) -- but this is historical data as I remember it & it maybe missing details (wrong version etc) [09:13] What is then happening with the 16.04.0 (v4.4) line at Apr 2018? [09:14] The 4.4 kernel will be supported until 16.04 reaches EOL on 2021-April (5 years from release) unless you use ESM. The HWE kernel for 16.04 is 4.15 [09:16] wip_: are you possible to connect your machine to internet? === _kukacz is now known as kukacz [09:17] guiverc, And there is no change to the level of support of 4.4 at april 2018? [09:17] lotuspsychje: no, that's what makes it a problem [09:17] wip_: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-a-gui-on-ubuntu [09:18] neic, No. 4.4 is supported until 2021-April (5 years from it's release). The HWE kernel for 16.04 reached it's final *bump* to the 18.04 kernel (4.15) and didn't advance any further. [09:18] wip_: think if you add the desktop cdrom in your sources you can pull off packages offline [09:18] guiverc. Great. Thanks for clarifying. [09:19] you're most welcome neic [09:20] lotuspsychje: ye, manage to mount filesystem.squashfs on the desktop dvd, dont yet know how to pull the packages from there [09:21] wip_: you might wanna talk to the #ubuntu-server volunteers howto do it cli [09:21] lotuspsychje: just adding the desktop dvd with apt-cdrom was not eniugh tho [09:21] lotuspsychje: ah thx [09:22] wip_: did you sudo apt update, after adding the dvd as source? [09:22] lotuspsychje: yea [09:23] you can pull gcc and a few pkgs from the desktop dvd, but no ubuntu-desktop [09:24] wip_: well you can install packages from the dvd, but yeah its limited offline for sure [09:25] not sure exactly wich packages and depends are included or not [09:32] hey guys [09:32] hi, anyone can help me with this error? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wpKZyG9DmV/ [09:34] Hi. I have many snap packages installed, and the mounts are slowing the startup by around 30 seconds. Is there any way to fix this? Output of systemd-analyze: http://ix.io/2xCX [10:20] Hiyas all [10:28] hi === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [11:01] Hi all, I'm having an Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS system. It has the server image. USB audio headset volume control does not work in my system. How to fix this issue on server image? [11:31] In Ubuntu server image which program listens for media keys and changes the volume? [11:31] sub526: Ubuntu 16.04 is unsupported [11:31] the most recent one is 20.04 LTS [11:33] marcoagpinto: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is still supported [11:33] ohhhhhhhh [11:33] really? [11:34] marcoagpinto: yes [11:34] marcoagpinto: Sorry did not understood. USB headset won't work on Ubuntu 16.04? [11:34] sub526: What I am trying to say is that if you a more recent version, it will have better compatibility with hardware [11:36] sub526: what desktop are you running? Gnome, XFCE or what? [11:37] sub526: usb-headset is running as a separate sound card [11:37] ZPQ: I'm using the server image [11:37] sub526: no desktop? [11:37] ZPQ: yes, system detected it as sound card [11:38] ZPQ: We use server image, how to check what desktop my system is installed? [11:39] sub526: try "startx" in cli [11:39] sub526: then you see if you have it or not [11:39] ZPQ: The program 'startx' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing, shall I install it? [11:41] ZPQ: it looks like startx is part of xinit package.. My system don't have it.. Do I need to install it to use the USB headset? [11:41] sub526: if you are installing that you get x.org and things with it and that may not be a good idea (depends what you want to use on it) === xataya is now known as roger_roger [11:42] sub526: why do you want to use usb-headset on a server? [11:43] sub526: and what program do you want to use [11:43] ? [11:43] ZPQ: In our project we are using the server image.. And this test scenario is part of automation tests [11:43] ZPQ: I'm using Alsa utilities aplay\arecord === lk is now known as lennykitty [11:46] sub526: server image is just a ubuntu image witout bloat as x.org and gnome/xfce/lxde + lots of programs for desktop use [11:46] without [11:47] sub526: I have not tried that program and I have not runned audio stuff in cli [11:47] EriC^^: hey remember me? :D I got into a new problem, Ubuntu wont boot, shows this: https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg [11:48] so I created a user and keys and used ssh-id-copy to get it up to the server. I ended up having to move the key to the new users home directory and chmod'ing it to allow a connection without a password. I have in the authorized_keys command="internal-sftp",no-blah-blah-blah, and the same settings as well in sshd_config for Match User TheNewUser... yet I can ssh into as that user using the password [11:48] I've an Ubuntu 20.04 system that has been upgraded through many versions (since pre-systemd). I want to switch root from a SATA SSD to a newer NVME SSD so I also want to transition from legacy boot to UEFI.... so to do this I wanted to go into Single User Mdoe - but it seems that this fails(!) I think this might be due to the 'initscripts' package being installed (it appears /etc/init.d/single is being executed) - can anyone confirm whether this should be [11:48] safe to remove? [11:50] I would think I wouldn't be able to do that, *and* that it would only be able to download what's in the chrootdir [11:50] (which doesn't actually include it's home) [11:51] sub526: normally ubuntu use PulsAudio, Alsa is legacy stuff [11:53] ZPQ: How to verify whether PulseAudio is enabled or not? [11:53] ZPQ, alsa is not legacy pulseaudio runs on top of alsa [11:53] sub526: you can install pulseaudio-utils and that is Command line tools for the PulseAudio sound server [11:54] BluesKaj: maybe it does..? [11:54] who can help me here? https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg [11:54] try running pulse without alsa :-) [11:54] BluesKaj: never tried :-) [11:55] sub526: try "pulsaudio" in cli [11:56] ZPQ: resulted "pulsaudio: command not found" [11:57] sub526: install it, and the cli-tools for it too [11:58] sub526: did you use " ? [11:58] sub526: it should be without " [11:59] I cant boot into ubuntu, its sending me into emergency mode, anyone who can help? : https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg [11:59] ZPQ: I tried without " [12:01] sub526, install pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol [12:02] sub526: ok, then you may need to install as BluesKaj says, he was faster then me [12:04] ZPQ: BluesKaj: Installed pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol [12:05] sub526: you may have to reboot... I dont know if it's needed but doit to be sure [12:11] sub526: btw, pavucontrol is GTK+ based gui-thingy and he does not need it if he/she is running cli without desktop [12:12] BluesKaj: it was to you.. npt sub526 [12:14] yeah, I should have scrolled up to see his original question [12:16] BluesKaj: you can have x.org and desktop and gui-stuff on a server image, thats why I asked if he was running desktop stuff [12:16] yes, I've done that, but it was long time ago [12:17] before pulseaudio :-) [12:17] BluesKaj: sometimes it's best to start there if you not running netinstall [12:18] some server users like to have a desktop gui thi [12:18] though [12:19] BluesKaj: yes and it can be usefull but it depends on use [12:19] o/c [12:19] EriC^^: you here? [12:58] hmm? [13:00] ZPQ: whats up? [13:02] lotuspsychje: not much right now... I tried to help someone with usb-headset in cli but he/she leaved [13:02] ah, kk [13:03] lotuspsychje: or else, I'm fine :-) [13:07] usually when they don't return in a few mins one can assume the issue has been solved [13:13] BluesKaj: yepp [13:19] Hi. when I am trying to install opencv with "pip3 install pytz opencv-python" it is showing the following error Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-zus_w6e8/opencv-python/ so please help me in installing === mateen1 is now known as mateen === dtomato3 is now known as dtomato === carlesc_ is now known as carlesc === lchlan_ is now known as lchlan === Mr_x- is now known as Mr_x === themill_ is now known as themill === rosseaux_ is now known as rosseaux === egm1991_ is now known as egm1991 === bluesabre_ is now known as bluesabre === nicolasbock_ is now known as nicolasbock === neoXite_ is now known as neoXite === rafaeldtinoco_ is now known as rafaeldtinoco === Urbanecm[]_ is now known as Urbanecm[] === BlueShark_ is now known as BlueShark === coreycb_ is now known as coreycb === philroche_ is now known as philroche === jakesyl_ is now known as jakesyl === michagogo_ is now known as michagogo === SrPx_ is now known as SrPx [14:01] Is it still possible to install specific versions of software like nxinx with the first part of the versionnumbers ? === holgersson_ is now known as holgersson === Texas- is now known as Texas [15:01] When I use amixer with the set command to set the volume(amixer set Master 50%) it failed with "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory", What is amixer looking for that it does not find?

[15:06] yeah, it's normally installed by default [15:06] both are [15:07] I see that alsamixer binary is part of alsa-utils package.. [15:08] dpkg -l | grep alsa resulted 2 packages, alsa-base & alsa-utils [15:09] Any other package need to be installed to use command line to change volume? [15:32] I've upgraded my server to 18.04 to 20.04 and it changed my interface names completely and my netplan was not applying anymore. I had to plug a monitor. No issues ad there's nothing important running there, but is this what an upgrade via dist-upgrade supposed to do? [15:35] sub526, yes, but you can also use pavucontrol for master volume === zorael^ is now known as zorael [17:01] just a question is qnap actually an OEM partner of ubuntu?

I only have ssh access currently, but I can open ports [17:17] where do you put your quake pak files? i installed darkplaces hoping it would tell me where to put them. didn't though.

[18:44] yes [18:44] 1334816 Sep 15 22:03 bootmgfw.efi that's shimx64.efi [18:45] I was gonna ask about that can we not add that chainloader(hd0,gpt3)/path to bootmgfw.efi in grub menu entry? [18:46] yeah I did chainloader (hd0,gpt3)/ and got to that file and entered boot and it went straight to WIndows [18:46] gpt3 is labelled 'OS' in grub terminal, [18:46] as ntfs fs [18:47] rana_ans: ah interesting [18:48] yeah I dont see any of that in ubuntu commands here [18:48] rana_ans: type 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' [18:48] altho I can access all the drives in Ubuntu and my windows files [18:48] it returned nothing, anything further?

[18:50] no such file or directory [18:51] rana_ans: i guess it's in the efi partition on the ssd [18:51] yeah [18:51] where is it mounted right now? try to mount it then type 'df | nc termbin.com 9999' [18:51] for some reason the ssd isnt showing in parted's output [18:51] only 1tb sda [18:52] yea I restarted my PC, it isn't showing now, altho I was able to access directories like program files and (x86) programDAta folder as well [18:52] mybad, didnt check it this time [18:53] odd [18:53] maybe if it shows up, if os-prober can mount and see the efi partition it should automatically add windows [18:53] I dont know, its not showing HDD either in other locations now [18:54] if os-prober shows it and update-grub doesn't, it might be something wrong with the grub.d/*os-prober file [18:54] rana_ans: try to restart to get it back i guess [18:54] Idk, is there a problem with the .iso coz it happens everytime [18:54] yeah I'll restart right now [18:54] if not, you can always add the entry manually for windows, if the ssd/os-prober doesnt pan out [18:54] ok [18:54] altho I downloaded that .iso from Ubuntu [18:55] ok if it doesnt work after I restart, help me add it manually, coz I have been trying for several hours with no luck [18:55] brb [18:55] alright [18:59] EriC^^: its showing 1 thing now, HDD only. No signs of SSD partition in other locations [18:59] Idk I did access it before tho [19:02] rana_ans: ok, type 'sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy' [19:02] then sudo nano /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy [19:02] add the lines you usually use to load windows at the bottom, "chainloader (hd0,gpt3)/....." [19:02] then save & exit, and sudo update-grub [19:03] should I add it at the end? [19:04] yes [19:04] I'm restart again and note the path then :D [19:04] I'm gonna* [19:14] EriC^^: hey, I need to add just the chainloader command at the end right? [19:15] nothing else? [19:15] rana_ans: up, that's it, then sudo update-grub [19:15] *yup [19:15] alright [19:16] it will show in grub-customizer or should I restart and check? [19:16] i have no idea, i think it should though [19:17] actually one sec [19:17] its giving me an error 'sudo update-grub' [19:18] sudo nano the file again, yeah i forgot about something [19:18] alright [19:18] add this instead, and modify the path if you need to, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TtPZtWvwHZ/ [19:19] you can call it what you want, just "Windows" etc [19:19] ok [19:19] Im removing chainloader line as well [19:19] ok [19:20] shouldn't there be chainloader ($root)/path? [19:21] nope, the set root= takes care of it [19:21] alright [19:21] EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XsDpCkgT5x/ [19:23] rana_ans: type 'cat /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy | nc termbin.com 9999" [19:23] this is how my file looks like: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KWzc3JsSMr/ [19:23] gusy can't we install package like nginx 1.18.0 without -0ubuntu1 ? [19:24] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/40zq [19:25] insmod gpt and insmod ntfs? coz isnt windows ntfs based? [19:25] rana_ans: edit the file again, remove everything in it [19:25] ok [19:26] in everything like all the stuff even before the lines I added? [19:26] right [19:26] rana_ans: yes, everything [19:26] rana_ans: paste this instead in the file https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FhrthWBszs/ [19:28] I changed gpt3 to gpt2 coz that works to boot into windows [19:29] ok [19:29] successfully updated grub [19:29] Imma restart and check if it worked, BRB [19:30] alright [19:34] EriC^^: so that worked, can you give me that link again? Imma save everything this time which fixed it [19:34] sure, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FhrthWBszs/ [19:36] thank you tho! (again) :D [19:36] no problem :D [19:38] have a great night brother! good night [19:38] !cookie | EriC^^ [19:38] EriC^^: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [19:38] yea he has helped me several times now [19:39] have fun! [19:39] Bye [19:39] thanks, you too [19:43] EriC^^: btw I get this error sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: no reply expected, received 0x0 [19:43] it showed this time as well, Im afraid next time I restart it will send me into emergency mode where I'll get stuck again [19:43] is it a problem with kernels or something? [19:45] rana_ans: doesn't seem really important, just a warning kind of [19:46] so, I'm a bit puzzled. when I installed Xubuntu in my new laptop (a Lenovo notebook), seems that I have 2 boot entries? if I press F7 while turning the laptop, it goes to the boot manager and I have 4 entries: Ubuntu, Windows Boot Manager and 2 disabled entries [19:46] lemme show u SS of what it does when I get stuck in loop [19:46] can someone shed a light why this happens? it's the 1st time I see such thing [19:47] Exterminador: that sounds like the uefi menu entries [19:47] Exterminador, sounds like an UEFI thingy, there is still a Windows entry there? [19:47] !uefi [19:47] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:47] that's not in grub right Exterminador ? [19:47] nope, it's not in grub. it's the laptop boot manager, sort of speaking [19:48] EriC^^: https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg [19:48] Exterminador: that's normal, windows boot manager is standard i'd guess, and ubuntu added its own [19:48] it is in the 1st partiton on the drive [19:48] in my older laptops I've never seen such boot manager. is that something kinda new? my oldest laptop is like 11y old [19:49] yes, see the !uefi factoid [19:49] legacy mbr > uefi [19:49] will do it right away. I was thinking that I've borked something :x [19:50] rana_ans: very odd, i think that's related to something else happening and not the error, i'd guess [19:50] Exterminador, no, you did not wipe the disk fully. [19:50] but that is oke [19:50] rana_ans: right now while you're booted you can try 'grep -i error /var/log/boot.log' i guess it might also have happened during the current boot [19:50] it shows that error several times in the list journalctl -xb [19:51] yes it did, thats why I came to you right away [19:51] rana_ans: could it be the hdd is on it's way out? [19:51] oerheks: indeed, I'm dual booting xD [19:51] wdym? :c [19:51] try a smart test on the hdd using sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda (from smartmontools package) [19:52] rana_ans: that emergency error is usually when the fs is corrupted and stuff, and since its intermittent, seems might be hardware related [19:52] smatctl command not found [19:52] anyways a smart test should show the hdd health easily [19:52] ok [19:53] rana_ans: sudo apt install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:54] rana_ans: anything in /etc/fstab that is out of the ordinary? any network mounts or something [19:54] Im waiting on that smartmontools, then Ill check that [19:57] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/h1jsd [19:58] how do I check /etc/fstab? ls /etc/fstab? [19:58] rana_ans: smart test looks good, cat /etc/fstab [19:59] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/zh7s4 [20:02] rana_ans: looks ok [20:03] alright, I'll contact you if I get stuck in the loop then. Thanks a lot!!! [20:03] rana_ans: i think when the emergency mode happens, see the logs of that boot to see exactly what happened, maybe you have to turn on persistent log to see it [20:03] Can someone tell me where in the world a system I have is getting its DNS information? My wifi device is setting 192.168.1.1 as the DNS in /etc/resolv.conf instead of leaving it as 127.0.0.53. Nothing in /etc/system/resolved.conf [20:03] I checked journalctl -xb it showed only red lines which had sof-audio-pci only [20:03] nothing else [20:04] rana_ans: right now? [20:05] no no not right now, the last time I got stuck like in the morning today [20:06] if you type now journalctl -xb | grep -i "error.*audio" what happens [20:07] sorry "audio.*error" [20:07] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/loq1 [20:08] and they are all red in terminal [20:08] ok, so the current boot also has it [20:08] yeah, its prolly gonna get stuck if I restart === NeverLoads3 is now known as NeverLoads [20:09] next time the emergency mode happens, try journalctl -xb in the maintenance shell if that shows any info [20:09] yeah it shows these in red [20:09] nothing other than audio in red [20:09] I check it last time it happened [20:10] can this be fixed? [20:10] probably the emergency mode is due to something else though, these are just warnings that will keep on happening [20:10] it's saying that it didnt expect any reply, but it got one, that's all [20:10] alright [20:11] I cant pastebin the data from there, so I will try getting SS of all red lines then if it happens [20:11] I hope not [20:11] rana_ans: if you want enable the persistent storage of journal so that you can lookk back on the bad boot once it boots [20:12] 1sec [20:12] ok [20:12]
