[00:35] <roger_roger> 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] <Bashing-om> roger_roger: Depends on the partioning scheme ; legacy of EFI ?
[00:41] <Bashing-om> partitioning*
[00:41] <roger_roger> yes - efi
[00:42] <Bashing-om> roger_roger: Is there a present /efi partition on the target drive ' sudo parted -l ' ?
[00:43] <roger_roger> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Nu59fyN1/
[00:43] <roger_roger> grub is on the samsung and i want it on the intel
[00:50] <Bashing-om> 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] <roger_roger> trying to avoid fresh install - i have so much going on there...
[00:53] <roger_roger> 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] <Bashing-om> 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] <roger_roger> 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] <roger_roger> there's 538 of empty space at the beginning of the intel drive where the efi partition can go
[00:57] <roger_roger> 538m
[00:58] <Bashing-om> 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] <roger_roger> there's no data - it is currently free space
[00:59] <Bashing-om> roger_roger: Sounds reasonable to me to use that unused space . makes things much easier.
[00:59] <roger_roger> yeah - i just don't know how :-)
[01:16] <Bashing-om> roger_roger: Wait here - for one who does have this experience to guide.
[01:17] <roger_roger> i created the partition with parted
[01:17] <roger_roger> whe i run grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p1 it says grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
[01:29] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: ^^ are you available ?
[01:50] <jayjo-> 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] <MannyLNJ> 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] <MannyLNJ> already in use please help me
[02:11] <guiverc> MannyLNJ, 18.06?  Check your release, there was no Ubuntu release in 2018-June (18.06)
[02:12] <MannyLNJ> guiverc, one moment
[02:14] <MannyLNJ> I had my version wrong it is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
[02:16] <CarlFK> MannyLNJ: https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/ansible/usb_install/usb_quick_start.html
[02:16] <CarlFK> MannyLNJ there is a pxe server setup as one of the later steps
[02:17] <CarlFK> https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/ansible/usb_install/usb_quick_start.html  [pxe] gw
[02:19] <CarlFK> 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] <MannyLNJ__> CarlFK, I will look that over. Thank you
[02:45] <fernando_> hola
[02:46] <fernando_> hi
[02:50] <arcatech> hello
[03:09] <rongx1an> I'm running ubuntu+fluxbox, many programs are dependent on gnome(xchat, audaciou etc). Is there a way to install them independently?
[03:46] <guiverc> 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] <guiverc> I followed a few of the depends links & only say libgtk etc
[03:49] <guiverc> rongx1an, the obvious answer is using "--no-install-recommends"
[03:59] <rongx1an> quiverc, resolved, thanks a lot.
[05:48] <cluelessperson> I'm having difficulty with printing in ubuntu
[05:48] <cluelessperson> it never works for me
[05:48] <cluelessperson> The printer is there, the job says pending
[05:48] <cluelessperson> but never prints
[06:21] <nachtkriecher> anyone here know how to get ssh tunneling to work using an ssh config on the jump box?
[08:20] <wip_> 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] <wip_> what am i missing here?
[08:35] <wip_> bump?
[08:51] <mrbell1984> why does it need a desktop? ubuntu server usually is used without the desktop, ubuntu desktop is used with a desktop
[08:57] <wip_> it need to run tools which requires X during install
[09:08] <neic> 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] <guiverc> 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] <guiverc> 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] <neic> What is then happening with the 16.04.0 (v4.4) line at Apr 2018?
[09:14] <guiverc> 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] <lotuspsychje> wip_: are you possible to connect your machine to internet?
[09:17] <neic> guiverc, And there is no change to the level of support of 4.4 at april 2018?
[09:17] <wip_> lotuspsychje: no, that's what makes it a problem
[09:17] <lotuspsychje> wip_: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-a-gui-on-ubuntu
[09:18] <guiverc> 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] <lotuspsychje> wip_: think if you add the desktop cdrom in your sources you can pull off packages offline
[09:18] <neic> guiverc. Great. Thanks for clarifying.
[09:19] <guiverc> you're most welcome neic
[09:20] <wip_> lotuspsychje: ye, manage to mount filesystem.squashfs on the desktop dvd, dont yet know how to pull the packages from there
[09:21] <lotuspsychje> wip_: you might wanna talk to the #ubuntu-server volunteers howto do it cli
[09:21] <wip_> lotuspsychje: just adding the desktop dvd with apt-cdrom was not eniugh tho
[09:21] <wip_> lotuspsychje: ah thx
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> wip_: did you sudo apt update, after adding the dvd as source?
[09:22] <wip_> lotuspsychje: yea
[09:23] <wip_> you can pull gcc and a few pkgs from the desktop dvd, but no ubuntu-desktop
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> wip_: well you can install packages from the dvd, but yeah its limited offline for sure
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> not sure exactly wich packages and depends are included or not
[09:32] <iekfkk> hey guys
[09:32] <rana_ans> hi, anyone can help me with this error? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wpKZyG9DmV/
[09:34] <BlueShark> 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] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:28] <luna_> hi
[11:01] <sub526> 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] <sub526> In Ubuntu server image which program listens for media keys and changes the volume?
[11:31] <marcoagpinto> sub526: Ubuntu 16.04 is unsupported
[11:31] <marcoagpinto> the most recent one is 20.04 LTS
[11:33] <ZPQ> marcoagpinto: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is still supported
[11:33] <marcoagpinto> ohhhhhhhh
[11:33] <marcoagpinto> really?
[11:34] <ZPQ> marcoagpinto: yes
[11:34] <sub526> marcoagpinto: Sorry did not understood. USB headset won't work on Ubuntu 16.04?
[11:34] <marcoagpinto> sub526: What I am trying to say is that if you a more recent version, it will have better compatibility with hardware
[11:36] <ZPQ> sub526: what desktop are you running? Gnome, XFCE or what?
[11:37] <ZPQ> sub526: usb-headset is running as a separate sound card
[11:37] <sub526> ZPQ: I'm using the server image
[11:37] <ZPQ> sub526: no desktop?
[11:37] <sub526> ZPQ: yes, system detected it as sound card
[11:38] <sub526> ZPQ: We use server image, how to check what desktop my system is installed?
[11:39] <ZPQ> sub526: try "startx" in cli
[11:39] <ZPQ> sub526: then you see if you have it or not
[11:39] <sub526> ZPQ: The program 'startx' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing, shall I install it?
[11:41] <sub526> 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] <ZPQ> 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)
[11:42] <ZPQ> sub526: why do you want to use usb-headset on a server?
[11:43] <ZPQ> sub526: and what program do you want to use
[11:43] <ZPQ> ?
[11:43] <sub526> ZPQ: In our project we are using the server image.. And this test scenario is part of automation tests
[11:43] <sub526> ZPQ: I'm using Alsa utilities aplay\arecord
[11:46] <ZPQ> 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] <ZPQ> without
[11:47] <ZPQ> sub526: I have not tried that program and I have not runned audio stuff in cli
[11:47] <rana_ans> EriC^^: hey remember me? :D  I got into a new problem, Ubuntu wont boot, shows this: https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg
[11:48] <ash_worksi> 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] <Jakdaw> 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] <Jakdaw> safe to remove?
[11:50] <ash_worksi> 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] <ash_worksi> (which doesn't actually include it's home)
[11:51] <ZPQ> sub526: normally ubuntu use PulsAudio, Alsa is legacy stuff
[11:53] <sub526> ZPQ: How to verify whether PulseAudio is enabled or not?
[11:53] <BluesKaj> ZPQ, alsa is not legacy pulseaudio runs on top of alsa
[11:53] <ZPQ> sub526: you can install pulseaudio-utils and that is Command line tools for the PulseAudio sound server
[11:54] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: maybe it does..?
[11:54] <rana_ans> who can help me here? https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg
[11:54] <BluesKaj> try running pulse without alsa :-)
[11:54] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: never tried :-)
[11:55] <ZPQ> sub526: try "pulsaudio" in cli
[11:56] <sub526> ZPQ: resulted "pulsaudio: command not found"
[11:57] <ZPQ> sub526: install it, and the cli-tools for it too
[11:58] <ZPQ> sub526: did you use " ?
[11:58] <ZPQ> sub526: it should be without "
[11:59] <rana_ans> I cant boot into ubuntu, its sending me into emergency mode, anyone who can help? : https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg
[11:59] <sub526> ZPQ: I tried without "
[12:01] <BluesKaj> sub526, install pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol
[12:02] <ZPQ> sub526: ok, then you may need to install as BluesKaj says, he was faster then me
[12:04] <sub526> ZPQ: BluesKaj: Installed pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol
[12:05] <ZPQ> sub526: you may have to reboot... I dont know if it's needed but doit to be sure
[12:11] <ZPQ> sub526: btw, pavucontrol is GTK+ based gui-thingy and he does not need it if he/she is running cli without desktop
[12:12] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: it was to you.. npt sub526
[12:14] <BluesKaj> yeah, I should have scrolled up to see his original question
[12:16] <ZPQ> 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] <BluesKaj> yes, I've done that, but it was long time ago
[12:17] <BluesKaj> before pulseaudio :-)
[12:17] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: sometimes it's best to start there if you not running netinstall
[12:18] <BluesKaj> some server users like to have a desktop gui thi
[12:18] <BluesKaj> though
[12:19] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: yes and it can be usefull but it depends on use
[12:19] <BluesKaj> o/c
[12:19] <rana_ans> EriC^^: you here?
[12:58] <ZPQ> hmm?
[13:00] <lotuspsychje> ZPQ: whats up?
[13:02] <ZPQ> lotuspsychje: not much right now... I tried to help someone with usb-headset in cli but he/she leaved
[13:02] <lotuspsychje> ah, kk
[13:03] <ZPQ> lotuspsychje: or else, I'm fine :-)
[13:07] <BluesKaj> usually when they don't return in a few mins one can assume the issue has been solved
[13:13] <ZPQ> BluesKaj: yepp
[13:19] <chaitanya122> 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
[14:01] <Lutin> Is it still possible to install specific versions of software like nxinx with the first part of the versionnumbers ?
[15:01] <sub526> 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?
[15:02] <BluesKaj> try alsamixer
[15:02] <BluesKaj> in the terminal
[15:03] <sub526> BluesKaj: alsamixer resulted "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"
[15:04] <BluesKaj> install alsamixer and alsa-utils
[15:05] <sub526> My system had the /usr/bin/alsamixer and alsa-utils package too.
[15:06] <BluesKaj> yeah, it's normally installed by default
[15:06] <BluesKaj> both are
[15:07] <sub526> I see that alsamixer binary is part of alsa-utils package..
[15:08] <sub526> dpkg -l | grep alsa resulted 2 packages, alsa-base & alsa-utils
[15:09] <sub526> Any other package need to be installed to use command line to change volume?
[15:32] <giaco> 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] <BluesKaj> sub526, yes, but you can also use pavucontrol for master volume
[17:01] <sem2peie> just a question is qnap actually an OEM partner of ubuntu?
[17:02] <ses1984> i just had a system totally lock up, not saved by alt-sysreq REISUB
[17:03] <ses1984> i wanted to see if alt-sysreq REISUB actually worked, so the first thing i did after rebooting was to ctrl-alt-f1 and try to do it, and it says REI are not supported but it did happily reboot on SUB
[17:03] <ses1984> anyway, is there anything specific i should check for evidence on why it locked up in the first place?
[17:10] <oerheks> ses1984, journalctrl can sho what has happened, except if it was severe there might not be a line wrtten https://askubuntu.com/questions/1068720/what-can-i-do-to-find-the-crash-reason
[17:10] <sine0> hi folks. can someone help me, I have a headless ubuntu server, and I want to run a gui program, which can be invoked via cli, how can i check if or what I have for desktop installed
[17:10] <oerheks> or 'logs' in dash https://vitux.com/view-system-log-files-ubuntu/
[17:10] <sine0> im sure i had a go a while ago and might have installed something
[17:10] <oerheks> sem2peie, no idea, is it shown on qnap homepage?
[17:13] <sem2peie> https://www.qnap.com/en-us/news/2016/qnap-partners-with-canonical-to-enhance-nas-with-ubuntu-for-advanced-internet-of-things-development
[17:13] <sem2peie> e g
[17:16] <EriC^^> sine0: you can install any of the desktop meta packages and it will install everything needed
[17:17] <EriC^^> e.g kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu-desktop etc
[17:17] <sine0> EriC^^: ok is there a way to see if i have already done that, how do I check. I only have ssh access currently, but I can open ports
[17:17] <egrain> where do you put your quake pak files? i installed darkplaces hoping it would tell me where to put them. didn't though.
[17:18] <EriC^^> sine0: "dpkg -l | grep desktop" should list any installed ones
[17:18] <ioria> sine0, it's weird that you don't know that; but check ls /usr/share/xsessions/
[17:19] <sine0> ioria: sorry ive been stuck on windows for a few years now lost touch with linux stuff, just using cli
[17:19] <ioria> sine0, ls /usr/share/xsessions/
[17:19] <sine0> ls: cannot access '/usr/share/xsessions/': No such file or directory
[17:20] <sine0> EriC^^: looks like no: https://bpa.st/R2LQ
[17:21] <EriC^^> sine0: yeah nothing seems installed from the meta packages
[17:21] <sem2peie> https://www.qnap.com/de-de/partner/
[17:22] <EriC^^> sine0: you could still have packages such as 'xfce' or so, you could always see /var/log/apt/history.log to see what you installed before, if anything
[17:23] <sine0> right, i would go for light as the box is old from ex corp
[17:23] <sine0> https://bpa.st/5PHQ
[17:23] <sine0> grep xfce /var/log/apt/history.log << nothing
[17:24] <sine0> so can i install a desktop from remote command line ?
[17:29] <sine0> what do you say, should i do a bit of : sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[17:37] <EriC^^> sine0: it's up to you, that works
[17:37] <EriC^^> btw i didnt mean just xfce, there are other ones lxde blabla
[17:52] <sine0> yea i know of them
[17:52] <sine0> its all good im connected rdp to xfce cool etc
[17:52] <sine0> this was a lot easier than I remember it
[18:14] <rana_ans> EriC^^ : hey you here?
[18:14] <isomari> greetings, can anyone tell me how to completely kill tracker? I've tried every method I googled and damn thing still persists.
[18:16] <EriC^^> hey rana_ans
[18:16] <EriC^^> what's up?
[18:16] <rana_ans> stuck at adding windows 10 entry in boot menu
[18:17] <rana_ans> altho I can access windows 10 from grub>chainloader
[18:17] <rana_ans> no solution from google is working for me
[18:18] <EriC^^> rana_ans: why are you adding it manually?
[18:19] <rana_ans> because boot-repair isnt recognising it either
[18:19] <rana_ans> its in hd0, gpt3
[18:19] <rana_ans> its not showing in grub-customizer either
[18:22] <rana_ans> EriC^^: it was showing error sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: no reply expected , received 0x0
[18:22] <rana_ans> so I tried finding the solution for it
[18:23] <rana_ans> that was while booting into ubuntu
[18:23] <rana_ans> and it send me to emergency mode
[18:23] <rana_ans> normal start didnt work, I was stuck in a loop, so after not finding any solution on the web, I decided to reinstall ubuntu, now Im stuck at getting windows 10 boot entry ):
[18:24] <rana_ans> sent*
[18:26] <rana_ans> EriC^^: since you helped me with the same before, I thought to contact you, I kinda forgot how we fixed it last time :|
[18:31] <EriC^^> rana_ans: alright, type '(sudo parted -ls; cat /etc/default/grub /boot/grub/grub.cfg; ls -l /etc/grub.d) | nc termbin.com 9999"
[18:32] <rana_ans> is that closing bracket important?
[18:32] <summonner> they should match
[18:33] <rana_ans> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
[18:34] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/pg7j
[18:35] <rana_ans> Windows partition is in SSD which is 128GB, rest windows partitions are in HDD which is 1TB, also Ubuntu partition is in HDD as well
[18:37] <EriC^^> rana_ans: do sudo chmod -x for all the ones after 45_os-prober
[18:38] <EriC^^> also please pastebin 'cat /boot/grub/custom.cfg'
[18:38] <EriC^^> boot-repair makes such a mess of stuff sometimes with so many grub.d entries, eek
[18:38] <rana_ans> EriC^^: cat: /boot/grub/custom.cfg: No such file or directory
[18:38] <EriC^^> ok good
[18:39] <EriC^^> rana_ans: try 'sudo os-prober' in the terminal, any windows?
[18:39] <rana_ans> no that doesnt output anything
[18:39] <rana_ans> nothing
[18:39] <EriC^^> rana_ans: type 'ls -lR /boot/efi | nc termbin.com 9999'
[18:40] <rana_ans> https://termbin.com/vun6
[18:44] <EriC^^> rana_ans: windows isnt there, all the files are grubx64.efi and shimx64.efi and renamed
[18:44] <EriC^^> see the sizes
[18:44] <rana_ans> bootmgfw.efi?
[18:44] <EriC^^> rana_ans: right now you say you're able to boot windows manually using chainloader?
[18:44] <rana_ans> yes
[18:44] <EriC^^> 1334816 Sep 15 22:03 bootmgfw.efi that's shimx64.efi
[18:45] <rana_ans> I was gonna ask about that can we not add that chainloader(hd0,gpt3)/path to bootmgfw.efi in grub menu entry?
[18:46] <rana_ans> yeah I did chainloader (hd0,gpt3)/ and got to that file and entered boot and it went straight to WIndows
[18:46] <rana_ans> gpt3 is labelled 'OS' in grub terminal,
[18:46] <rana_ans> as ntfs fs
[18:47] <EriC^^> rana_ans: ah interesting
[18:48] <rana_ans> yeah I dont see any of that in ubuntu commands here
[18:48] <EriC^^> rana_ans: type 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt'
[18:48] <rana_ans> altho I can access all the drives in Ubuntu and my windows files
[18:48] <rana_ans> it returned nothing, anything further?
[18:49] <EriC^^> oh i see, i reread above, so windows is in an ssd
[18:49] <rana_ans> yeap
[18:49] <EriC^^> you're able to mount this ssd in ubuntu and access it?
[18:49] <rana_ans> yes
[18:50] <EriC^^> rana_ans: btw try a quick 'ls /mnt/bootmgfw.efi' is it there by any chance?
[18:50] <rana_ans> no such file or directory
[18:51] <EriC^^> rana_ans: i guess it's in the efi partition on the ssd
[18:51] <rana_ans> yeah
[18:51] <EriC^^> where is it mounted right now? try to mount it then type 'df | nc termbin.com 9999'
[18:51] <EriC^^> for some reason the ssd isnt showing in parted's output
[18:51] <EriC^^> only 1tb sda
[18:52] <rana_ans> 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] <rana_ans> mybad, didnt check it this time
[18:53] <EriC^^> odd
[18:53] <EriC^^> maybe if it shows up, if os-prober can mount and see the efi partition it should automatically add windows
[18:53] <rana_ans> I dont know, its not showing HDD either in other locations now
[18:54] <EriC^^> if os-prober shows it and update-grub doesn't, it might be something wrong with the grub.d/*os-prober file
[18:54] <EriC^^> rana_ans: try to restart to get it back i guess
[18:54] <rana_ans> Idk, is there a problem with the .iso coz it happens everytime
[18:54] <rana_ans> yeah I'll restart right now
[18:54] <EriC^^> if not, you can always add the entry manually for windows, if the ssd/os-prober doesnt pan out
[18:54] <EriC^^> ok
[18:54] <rana_ans> altho I downloaded that .iso from Ubuntu
[18:55] <rana_ans> 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] <rana_ans> brb
[18:55] <EriC^^> alright
[18:59] <rana_ans> EriC^^: its showing 1 thing now, HDD only. No signs of SSD partition in other locations
[18:59] <rana_ans> Idk I did access it before tho
[19:02] <EriC^^> rana_ans: ok, type 'sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy'
[19:02] <EriC^^> then sudo nano /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy
[19:02] <EriC^^> add the lines you usually use to load windows at the bottom, "chainloader (hd0,gpt3)/....."
[19:02] <EriC^^> then save & exit, and sudo update-grub
[19:03] <rana_ans> should I add it at the end?
[19:04] <EriC^^> yes
[19:04] <rana_ans> I'm restart again and note the path then :D
[19:04] <rana_ans> I'm gonna*
[19:14] <rana_ans> EriC^^: hey, I need to add just the chainloader command at the end right?
[19:15] <rana_ans> nothing else?
[19:15] <EriC^^> rana_ans: up, that's it, then sudo update-grub
[19:15] <EriC^^> *yup
[19:15] <rana_ans> alright
[19:16] <rana_ans> it will show in grub-customizer or should I restart and check?
[19:16] <EriC^^> i have no idea, i think it should though
[19:17] <EriC^^> actually one sec
[19:17] <rana_ans> its giving me an error 'sudo update-grub'
[19:18] <EriC^^> sudo nano the file again, yeah i forgot about something
[19:18] <rana_ans> alright
[19:18] <EriC^^> add this instead, and modify the path if you need to, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TtPZtWvwHZ/
[19:19] <EriC^^> you can call it what you want, just "Windows" etc
[19:19] <rana_ans> ok
[19:19] <rana_ans> Im removing chainloader line as well
[19:19] <EriC^^> ok
[19:20] <rana_ans> shouldn't there be chainloader ($root)/path?
[19:21] <EriC^^> nope, the set root= takes care of it
[19:21] <rana_ans> alright
[19:21] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XsDpCkgT5x/
[19:23] <EriC^^> rana_ans: type 'cat /etc/grub.d/47_custom_proxy | nc termbin.com 9999"
[19:23] <rana_ans> this is how my file looks like: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KWzc3JsSMr/
[19:23] <Lutin> gusy can't we install package like nginx 1.18.0 without -0ubuntu1 ?
[19:24] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/40zq
[19:25] <rana_ans> insmod gpt and insmod ntfs? coz isnt windows ntfs based?
[19:25] <EriC^^> rana_ans: edit the file again, remove everything in it
[19:25] <rana_ans> ok
[19:26] <rana_ans> in everything like all the stuff even before the lines I added?
[19:26] <rana_ans> right
[19:26] <EriC^^> rana_ans: yes, everything
[19:26] <EriC^^> rana_ans: paste this instead in the file https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FhrthWBszs/
[19:28] <rana_ans> I changed gpt3 to gpt2 coz that works to boot into windows
[19:29] <EriC^^> ok
[19:29] <rana_ans> successfully updated grub
[19:29] <rana_ans> Imma restart and check if it worked, BRB
[19:30] <EriC^^> alright
[19:34] <rana_ans> EriC^^: so that worked, can you give me that link again? Imma save everything this time which fixed it
[19:34] <EriC^^> sure, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FhrthWBszs/
[19:36] <rana_ans> thank you tho! (again) :D
[19:36] <EriC^^> no problem :D
[19:38] <rana_ans> have a great night brother! good night
[19:38] <oerheks> !cookie | EriC^^
[19:38] <rana_ans> yea he has helped me several times now
[19:39] <oerheks> have fun!
[19:39] <rana_ans> Bye
[19:39] <EriC^^> thanks, you too
[19:43] <rana_ans> EriC^^: btw I get this error sof-audio-pci 0000:00:1f.3: error: no reply expected, received 0x0
[19:43] <rana_ans> 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] <rana_ans> is it a problem with kernels or something?
[19:45] <EriC^^> rana_ans: doesn't seem really important, just a warning kind of
[19:46] <Exterminador> 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] <rana_ans> lemme show u SS of what it does when I get stuck in loop
[19:46] <Exterminador> can someone shed a light why this happens? it's the 1st time I see such thing
[19:47] <EriC^^> Exterminador: that sounds like the uefi menu entries
[19:47] <oerheks> Exterminador,  sounds like an UEFI thingy, there is still a Windows entry there?
[19:47] <oerheks> !uefi
[19:47] <EriC^^> that's not in grub right Exterminador ?
[19:47] <Exterminador> nope, it's not in grub. it's the laptop boot manager, sort of speaking
[19:48] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://ibb.co/0cpVXmg
[19:48] <EriC^^> Exterminador: that's normal, windows boot manager is standard i'd guess, and ubuntu added its own
[19:48] <oerheks> it is in the 1st partiton on the drive
[19:48] <Exterminador> 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] <oerheks> yes, see the !uefi factoid
[19:49] <oerheks> legacy mbr > uefi
[19:49] <Exterminador> will do it right away. I was thinking that I've borked something :x
[19:50] <EriC^^> rana_ans: very odd, i think that's related to something else happening and not the error, i'd guess
[19:50] <oerheks> Exterminador, no, you did not wipe the disk fully.
[19:50] <oerheks> but that is oke
[19:50] <EriC^^> 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] <rana_ans> it shows that error several times in the list journalctl -xb
[19:51] <rana_ans> yes it did, thats why I came to you right away
[19:51] <EriC^^> rana_ans: could it be the hdd is on it's way out?
[19:51] <Exterminador> oerheks: indeed, I'm dual booting xD
[19:51] <rana_ans> wdym? :c
[19:51] <EriC^^> try a smart test on the hdd using sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda    (from smartmontools package)
[19:52] <EriC^^> 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] <rana_ans> smatctl command not found
[19:52] <EriC^^> anyways a smart test should show the hdd health easily
[19:52] <rana_ans> ok
[19:53] <EriC^^> rana_ans: sudo apt install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:54] <EriC^^> rana_ans: anything in /etc/fstab that is out of the ordinary? any network mounts or something
[19:54] <rana_ans> Im waiting on that smartmontools, then Ill check that
[19:57] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/h1jsd
[19:58] <rana_ans> how do I check /etc/fstab? ls /etc/fstab?
[19:58] <EriC^^> rana_ans: smart test looks good, cat /etc/fstab
[19:59] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/zh7s4
[20:02] <EriC^^> rana_ans: looks ok
[20:03] <rana_ans> alright, I'll contact you if I get stuck in the loop then. Thanks a lot!!!
[20:03] <EriC^^> 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] <kur1j> 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] <rana_ans> I checked journalctl -xb it showed only red lines which had sof-audio-pci only
[20:03] <rana_ans> nothing else
[20:04] <EriC^^> rana_ans: right now?
[20:05] <rana_ans> no no not right now, the last time I got stuck like in the morning today
[20:06] <EriC^^> if you type now journalctl -xb | grep -i "error.*audio"    what happens
[20:07] <EriC^^> sorry "audio.*error"
[20:07] <rana_ans> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/loq1
[20:08] <rana_ans> and they are all red in terminal
[20:08] <EriC^^> ok, so the current boot also has it
[20:08] <rana_ans> yeah, its prolly gonna get stuck if I restart
[20:09] <EriC^^> next time the emergency mode happens, try journalctl -xb   in the maintenance shell if that shows any info
[20:09] <rana_ans> yeah it shows these in red
[20:09] <rana_ans> nothing other than audio in red
[20:09] <rana_ans> I check it last time it happened
[20:10] <rana_ans> can this be fixed?
[20:10] <EriC^^> probably the emergency mode is due to something else though, these are just warnings that will keep on happening
[20:10] <EriC^^> it's saying that it didnt expect any reply, but it got one, that's all
[20:10] <rana_ans> alright
[20:11] <rana_ans> I cant pastebin the data from there, so I will try getting SS of all red lines then if it happens
[20:11] <rana_ans> I hope not
[20:11] <EriC^^> 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] <EriC^^> 1sec
[20:12] <rana_ans> ok
[20:12] <EriC^^> sudo mkdir -p /var/log/journal && sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal
[20:13] <rana_ans> done
[20:13] <EriC^^> alright, that should do it
[20:13] <rana_ans> thanks again!
[20:13] <EriC^^> no problem
[20:13] <rana_ans> good night!
[20:13] <EriC^^> thanks, you too

[21:26] <bipul> Hello,
[21:26] <bipul> I  have .vdi file and i would like to mount it on /mnt does anyone have any idea? how to do this?
[21:29] <rfm> bipul, virtualbox has vboximg-mount now for this.  https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#vboximg-mount   #vbox is probably a better place to talk about it than #ubuntu
[21:31] <bipul> okay thanks rfm
[22:07] <icarnor> hi i have a question
[22:07] <icarnor> hopefully someone can answer it
[22:08] <arcatech> why not just ask?
[22:08] <icarnor> i was in ssh editing a file on nano. then my wifi glitched and i lost all my changed. can i get those back?
[22:08] <Texas> icarnor: You can, actually
[22:08] <Texas> Is the nano process still running?
[22:09] <icarnor> idk
[22:10] <Texas> icarnor: What is the output of 'ps -aux | grep nano'?
[22:10] <icarnor> idk
[22:10] <Texas> icarnor: Run it, please. And then send the output to a pastebin.
[22:10] <icarnor> wtf is a pastebin
[22:11] <Texas> icarnor: https://pastebin.com

[22:12] <Texas> icarnor: Now type 'kill 1392727'
[22:13] <Texas> And there should be a file called '<filename>.save' in the directory where the file was located
[22:13] <icarnor> wtf is a directory?
[22:14] <Texas> icarnor: It's like a folder in your filesystem.
[22:14] <icarnor> ooh
[22:14] <icarnor> so like cd
[22:14] <oerheks> icarnor, please watch your language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks
[22:14] <Texas> icarnor: cd is short for change directory
[22:14] <icarnor> ohhh
