[00:17] ubuntu [00:24] ubuntu? [00:27] Hello. Is it possible to install both win 10 and ENCRYPTED ubuntu on different ssd? I should first install win 10 and then ubuntu? [00:28] I'm not sure which order is better but I think either direction will probably work [00:30] If you install ubuntu and then win 10, won't win 10 "forget" about ubuntu? [00:31] it's entirely possible, I don't know what window's installer is like these days [00:31] certainly that's what would have happened ~twenty years ago [00:31] it's still a monotheistic religion. [00:32] so do windows firsts?

[00:36] yes, this way you don't have windows overwrite when it feels like. [00:37] tomreyn, you mean windows could do some bad things to ubuntu? [00:38] whatever runs as the main OS can do bad things to whatever is in its reach. theoretically. practically, windows 10 feature upgrades have previously overwritten grub. [00:40] tomreyn, if it happens, is there an easy instruction how to recover? [00:40] !grub [00:40] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[00:42] oops [00:43] So I am currently using mergerfs to merge two drives together. now lately for somereason one of my drives keeps getting unmounted and I can't figure out why. I recently formatted the drive to ext4. I tried running smart tools but there weren't any errors that I could see on it [00:45] no smart support on the drives not sure what test I should run next [00:46] i have 0 experience with mergerfs, but i assume it would log to the systemd journal if something bad happens? [00:46] if they are usb drives, you can probably yank them out of their enclosure and hook them up to a real sata controller and check the smart logs [00:46] if they are sas drives, I haven't got a clue what you do to check their health.. [00:47] note to sell buy a sata controller and check logs [00:47] ugg [00:48] tomreyn, can't I forbid win 10 to make any changes to ssd with ubuntu? [00:48] it is for my plex server that runs on a laptop, building something to check the smart errors is a bit overkill :( [00:48] *making [00:48] ttytwister: hmm, maybe, i'm not good at windows, people in ##windows are. don't tell them you're dual booting if you don't have to. ;-) [00:49] :) [00:51] i have plex on ubuntu server works great [00:53] yeah this one 10tb drive seems to hate me [00:55] yeah my setup either works nicely or i want to shoot it [01:00] you have the 10tb drive connected on a usb port to the laptop? [01:00] which runs plex? [01:01] the laptop [01:02] Rubato, I got 3 8tbs, and a 10tb connected to the laptop [01:08] wtf [01:08] over usb ? [01:08] how is that even possible to work at all [01:09] the usb mass storage spec is probably one of the best-tested and most common usb thingy [01:10] the downside is I think (most? all?) usb things can't do SMART passthrough [01:12] i think it works most of the time for usb mass storage if you run it with -d sat [01:13] Rubato, with some hickups [01:13] https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/USB https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices [01:13] tomreyn: ugh. that sounds familiar. why is that not probed? :) sigh [01:13] I connect every drive spin up rtorrent, use mergerfs to merge two drives into Movie and two into TV and then it is all working [01:14] sarnold: i don't really know. maybe they tried and it caused problems? [01:15] "auto" is actually the default, but i gues sonly when you specify -d [01:16] the man page section on this option is the longest i've ever seen [01:18] 'sup boys [01:18] anyone awake [01:19] hi nax_, do you have an ubuntu support question? [01:19] ye, well dualboot ubuntu / windows [01:19] Ive googled for hours [01:19] cant access windows anymore [01:20] what happened before this happened? [01:20] well I needed to restart my pc for something being done in ubuntu [01:21] at first I couldnt aacces ubuntu either [01:21] after a few tries I managed, and when I wanted to boot win, I didnt find it [01:21] tried every disc possible in the bootmenu in bios [01:22] are you booting in bios mode or uefi? did you make persistent changes to the bios configuration? is windows still listed on the grub menu?

[01:28] I do [01:29] but it wants be to reboot, and rebooting is hell :p [01:30] I just wanna be able to boot win10 again [01:30] so you haven't rebooted since april? are you using kernel live patching then? [01:30] no, installed ubuntu yesterday [01:31] are you booting in bios mode or uefi? did you make persistent changes to the bios configuration? is windows still listed on the grub menu?

[02:04] ait, thanks a bunch tomreyn === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [03:10] oh hai [03:10] I'm on a ubuntu derivative, a live system from USB. I'm not able to ssh to the machine. I've set up a new user and installed openssh. I normally do this, on other hardware, so it usually works without any problems. What are some obvious things to troubleshoot? [03:11] hostname -I says its a 192 adress, and netstat -plan shows an sshd thing on 22 [03:16] sybariten, please provide your system details (what do you mean by deivative, release details too please) [03:22] guiverc: ubuntu 18.04 according to lsbrelease, modern laptop, wLAN [03:23] what do you mean by derivative, what is it? [03:24] sybariten: what say 'systemctl status sshd.service' [03:24] guiverc: lubuntu something something [03:24] sybariten: Sounds like a firewall if you see sshd on port 22. [03:24] ledeni: i think its up, i checked it with netstat ... but let me go over there and check [03:25] ledeni: active, running [03:26] uh i wish my router would give some info about this machien but apparently its so cheap that it only shows the devices that are attached with a TP cable? Uh... weird [03:26] sybariten, fyi: Lubuntu is a flavor & on-topic here, I'm using it myself (not a Ubuntu derivative) [03:27] guiverc: gotcha [03:27] sybariten:check other system sshd.service is active [03:28] sybariten: if you're on the local terminal, ssh localhost and see if it connects that way, that may suggest a firewall issue [03:29] You can type 'ufw status' iirc, to see what is allowed and blocked, as well [03:29] Geo: good point [03:29] i cant ping it though [03:29] ledeni: hmm how do you mean [03:30] interesting, I've never used hostname -I before. neat. [03:30] it's not been around for ages i think [03:31] Geo: ssh localhost seems to work like a charm, ufw status just says "inactive" more or less [03:32] weird [03:32] netstat -ano|grep "LISTEN " [03:33] i was under the impression that all of these live distros were always quite "open" upon bootup, ive done this many times and the HW shouldnt really matter as long as the machine has a net connection.... [03:33] I can't imagine why it owuld be, but check which IP port 22 is bound to? [03:34] Geo: with that netstat thing? Or what am i looking for trhere, got 30 lines of text [03:34] Yeah, look for the line that has an x.x.x.x:22 [03:34] *should* be 0.0.0.0 , but if its not, maybe thats the issue [03:35] geo yep it is [03:35] and, just to confirm, is the machine you're trying to ssh from on the same local network? [03:36] if i grep for listen and then 22 i get two lines .... one of them is 0.0.0.0:22 [03:36] ok [03:36] and both machines you're using have 192.168.1.x IPs? [03:36] Geo: yep . I will confirm now that it can ssh to another machine in the lan, using an 192 adress [03:36] just double check that third octet [03:36] beyond that, I'm out of ideas [03:37] try ssh'ing the other way, from the live cd machine to your other one, just to test connectivity (or just ping it) [03:38] and what is the exact error you get on the other machine when trying to connect to the live cd machine [03:39] yep, so, the problematic machine is .13 and i tried sshing from that now to .5 which is also ubuntu (albeit not a live system, should be said) ... worked fine [03:39] so they can talk [03:39] when sshing again from a win machine to this .5 , i see : last succesful login was from .13 [03:39] whats the error you get [03:40] so its presenting itself as .13 , as expected ... [03:40] Geo: well i just cant reach it i guess .... lemme tryu going from windows to .5 to .13 once [03:40] i mean i can ping .5 from win but i cant ping .13 from win [03:40] it'll tell you something when it doesn't connect [03:41] when you ssh from the other machine to the live cd machine, some error will be displayed [03:41] uh wait a minute [03:41] i cant reach it from .5 it seems [03:43] Hm, OK. So this is quite interesting. It's almost as if this .13 machine doesn't like my Win machine as a sender. [03:44] I can: ssh from Win to .5 (ubuntu) . I can not ssh from Win to .13 (ubuntu) . I can however ssh from win to .5 and then from .5 to .13 , no problem [03:44] any logic to that? [03:45] doesn't make sense, and I would posit something in there isn't accurate [03:46] well, take that back [03:46] i think its like this guy! https://askubuntu.com/questions/977781/cant-ssh-from-windows-10-16-04 [03:46] still looking for the error message [03:49] sybariten: just for record you try to ssh from live cd usb that is laptop with win10 to another laptop with lubuntu [03:50] Yeah very confusing for me [03:50] ledeni: hm, how do you mean [03:50] sybariten: seriously, what's the error message :P [03:50] Geo: the error message when doing win to .13 ? Just somehting about not reachable i think... lemme see [03:51] that would imply it is a networking/routing issue from that machine [03:51] Geo: yeah i mean it does... nothing, for the longest of time. THen connection time out [03:52] times out is different from not reachable [03:52] its very very odd that it (win) can reach another machine though. With the (only) difference being that that other machine is a real HD install, different ubuntu, and cable connected [03:52] so I'm going to step away now, unless you can give the actual error message [03:54] Geo: sorry geo i dont know what else to tell you or what you're asking for. The win ssh client doesnt see the machine. It times out or if i try to ping it just loses the packets [03:59] sybariten: sorry if you could not explain properly situation you have it is difficult to help you what i know live doesn't have sshd.service by default you need to install and activate [04:07] ledeni: ah. i think you may have missed what was writing then. sshd is active and running. [04:09] sybariten:i didn't miss i assumed that is active on your lubuntu system [04:11] sybariten:what about your livedvd usb stick [04:15] ledeni: thats the one i mean [04:16] sybariten: ok did you check firewall [04:19] ledeni: i mean, good to know, first of all: i can't do A -> C . I can however do A -> B. And i can do B -> C. So i can do A -> B -> C . C is the new problematic live OS machine, A is Win, B is Ubuntu [04:24] sybariten:you complicated for youself focus on your live os mashine ssh to lubuntu and only help you can got from us in that case rest ask ##windows [04:25] ledeni: sorry but your sentences are a bit hard to comprehend, because of lack of punctuation and such. [04:26] ledeni: i dont know in what sense you think i complicated for myself. I had a machine that i couldnt reach. So i tried reaching it from another machine in the same LAN. And that worked. So that's odd. [04:32] aiiight off to the bed for me for now. Thanks for all the suggestions here!! [04:33] does anyone have a guide for mac on how to boot ubuntu from another hard drive?

[11:29] so AFAIU ubuntu doesn't install rsyslogd by default, but if you apt install it, it'll start fetching log entries from journald and writing them to /var/log/auth.log and other files as per usual [11:29] I have rsyslog installed [11:29] mgedmin rsyslog is installed by default [11:29] and it doesn't log anything in this file [11:30] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 Oct 21 13:37 auth.log [11:30] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 39K Oct 10 00:15 auth.log.1 [11:31] since when it doesn't do nothing.

[12:07] mgedmin: i believe you're right [12:07] oh hey I have that weird version too [12:07] mgedmin: the problem is thunderbird [12:07] it's consuming a whole lot of ram [12:07] I never had focal-proposed installed [12:07] s/installed/enabled/ [12:08] is there a way to get the current terminal tab profile name (using command line) [12:08] /var/log/dpkg.log says my system upgraded secureboot-db 1.5 1.6~20.04.1 on 2020-10-08 [12:09] so there was an update released to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/secureboot-db/+bug/1890835 [12:09] Launchpad bug 1890835 in secureboot-db (Ubuntu Trusty) "secureboot-db 2020 update" [Undecided,New] [12:09] and it was pulled later? [12:11] yes, see comment #15 [12:11] gst568923: does this answer your question? [12:13] mgedmin in synaptic package property there is versions: 1.6 20.04.1 (now) and 1.5 (focal) Actualy I have 1.6, should I downgrade to 1.5? [12:13] no point in it [12:16] I would appreciate if you could help me: https://pastebin.com/63yZsXiR [12:17] why did it happen to my hard disk? [12:18] hardware fails [12:19] laws of physics or something [12:19] nothing lasts forever [12:19] second law of thermodynamics [12:19] mgedmin, but when I restart my server , it works correctly [12:20] until you try to access some data stored in a bad sector [12:21] mgedmin, you mean I will fall in trouble again? [12:21] should I change my disk? [12:21] yes! [12:23] mgedmin, is there any way to fix the broken sector? [12:23] no [12:24] mgedmin, OK thanks [12:24] mgedmin, try smart tools [12:24] hamidreza_^ [12:25] BluesKaj, it can fix it or just show the health of disk? [12:25] smartmontools (or the GUI for them in gnome-disks) are good for testing if a SSD/HDD is going bad, but here we have a kernel message reporting the badness, so it's a bit pointless [12:25] !smart [12:25] smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [12:25] in theory that message could be caused by a bad cable? but these days of laptops with M.2 connections and SSD disks don't even _have_ cables [12:26] smartmontools could maybe explain _why_ the SSD went bad (e.g. very large number of write cycles) [12:26] mgedmin, it's not laptop , its my server disk [12:27] I will check this tools [12:27] thanks to all === bugle is now known as bugLe [12:51] https://bpa.st/DDQQ nothing.. [12:51] give me some tips guys.. [12:52] if works for some one do not mean it works for all [12:53] https://sysadminjournal.com/how-to-install-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-20-04/ all this just not working [12:58] hi , I can create a new document on Desktop ( touch ~/Templetes/New\ Document ) [12:59] I can only create a document on window manager [13:01] well, thank you for your terrible support [13:05] I want to start urxvt from a terminal and execute the function "r" straight away. Doing ' urxvt ' and then, in the terminal window that pops up, issuing ' r ' works fine, but not ' urxvt -e r '. How can I make this work? [13:14] anyone ? ( touch ~/Templetes/New\ Document ) does not work on desktop. [13:14] "Templetes" looks like a misspelling of "Templates" [13:14] does that directory exist? [13:15] is it spelled right? [13:17] anyone ? ( touch ~/Templates/New\ Document ) does not work on desktop. [13:18] mgedmin : my typo , drectory correct , I can right click and create a document on window manager like nautilus but not on desktop [13:19] mgedmin : you can try 20.04 touch ~/Templetes/New\ Document [13:19] ah! maybe the gnome-shell extension that handles the desktop doesn't implement templates [13:19] you'll have to file a (wishlist) bug for the extension then [13:19] mgedmin : but it works on 18.04 [13:20] nautilus was responsible for drawing the desktop in 18.04, iirc [13:20] the code was moved into a gnome-shell extension in 20.04 [13:20] apparently the reimplementation dropped some features along the way [13:21] mgedmin : is it possbile to manually edit the gnome-shell to add the extension ? [13:22] I don't understand the question [13:24] mgedmin : Manually edit the features [13:25] depends on if you're skilled enough, I'd say [13:25] (and if you were skilled enough, you wouldn't need to ask this question) === Payhn is now known as savoiringfaire [13:27] @nbusrone, there is a webpage with gnome extensions === savoiringfaire is now known as Payhn_ === Payhn_ is now known as Payhn [13:28] nbusrone: what does touching a file in ~/Templates have to do with the ~/Desktop directory? [13:29] nbusrone: ah, I see. Yeah, you need to install the desktop extension. Not sure why you want to edit it at all. [13:29] Wait a minutes , compare with 18.04 with 20.04 , at Desktop it's totally useless beside launching icon [13:30] nbusrone: why is that? [13:31] @nbusrone, you need a gnome extension, can't remember the webpage [13:31] leftyfb : wait a minutes , let me screenshot [13:33] Anyone available to help troubleshoot a postfix problem on ubuntu 20.04 Server? [13:34] !ask | hungrygeneration [13:34] hungrygeneration: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:34] Ok! First time on here :) [13:34] Mainly just wanted to make sure I was in the right place!! ;-) [13:36] So I can send emails with the mail command from command line but when I try to send emails externally with SMTP I am getting the message, "The Server refused to allow a connection on port 587." It says the same on Port 25. Do you know what could be going wrong? I am just trying to set up a server to send mail not receive it. I have set it up as [13:36] loopback and even set up opendkim. Thanks so much!! [13:38] @hungrygeneration, i don't know anyting about mail server, but i know that some ISP close the ports for e-mail [13:39] I'm on Google Fiber and they say they keep all ports open? [13:39] ok [13:40] hungrygeneration: on the server run: "sudo lsof -i :587" and "sudo lsof -i :25" to see if anything is listening on those ports. Then try using nmap from external to see if you can access those ports externally as well. [13:41] hungrygeneration: I'm pretty sure loopback isn't going to allow you to send email out to the internet. Why do you need this anyway? [13:42] in 18.04 I used systemctl add-wants to make rescue.target want ssh.service so I could still access the machine remotely after isolating to rescue.target to back up the system. After upgrading to 20.04, sshd is killed when isolating to rescue.target. Any idea why or how to figure it out? [13:43] It looks like just localhost is listening. Is that normal or does that mean I have a configuration problem? [13:43] master 30159 root 18u IPv4 205474 0t0 TCP localhost:submission (LISTEN) [13:44] I'll turn try turning off loopback too [13:47] Oh I was wrong loopback is not on. inet-interfaces is set to "all" [13:48]
