| bbblowjob | Hi, does anyone know what was the unofficial deb making tool that allowed you to create debian packages while compiling from source ? I think it contained the words deb build and check | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| Examknow | bbblowjob: Was it for any language specifically? | 00:12 |
| sarnold | bbblowjob: that sounds a bit like checkinstall | 00:13 |
| Examknow | I was thinking https://github.com/nylas/make-deb | 00:13 |
| bbblowjob | Examknow, no it was a one size fit all type of software | 00:13 |
| Examknow | Oh | 00:13 |
| bbblowjob | sarnold : this actually rings a bell man, lemme check it out | 00:13 |
| bbblowjob | sarnold, It is , actually !!! thanks a lot ! | 00:14 |
| sarnold | yay! :) | 00:14 |
| sarnold | bbblowjob: the next choice is something a little different, give it a look too https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html | 00:15 |
| bbblowjob | thanks sarnold I'll give it a try | 00:17 |
| systemE | Hi, after a while, logs stop showing e.g. journalctl -u mysql shows nothing, until i reboot the server. and systemctl status mysql, or systemctl status systemd-journald, both show the message "Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable." --- What do I do | 00:17 |
| bbblowjob | sarnold, how is this any better than checkinstall ? | 00:32 |
| sarnold | bbblowjob: iirc checkinstall does some ptrace / debugging kinds of things to try to spot what's been written, where, and that kinda worries me for reliability reasons; iirc the fpm tool is more like traditional declarative packaging, just much less frustrating | 00:33 |
| bbblowjob | thanks sarnold, I tried both on a folder rn and I prefer checkinstall tbh, more accurate descriptions and the package actually contains everything I need | 00:34 |
| sarnold | bbblowjob: cool cool, that's good enough :) I just wanted to make sure you knew there were options | 00:34 |
| bbblowjob | sarnold, yes thanks man :) | 00:35 |
| DarkTrick | Is there a persistent way of disabling services ( specifically tracker* services )? | 01:11 |
| DarkTrick | When I set the services to "tracker*.service.disabled" they get replaced when I release-upgrade | 01:12 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: you could mask them, that's like disabling them, but a bit more stern :) | 01:16 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, what does "mask" mean, specifically? | 01:16 |
| DarkTrick | overwrite the service file with an empty file? | 01:17 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: these days there's a systemctl mask subcommand | 01:17 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: once upon a time you had to make the symlinks to /dev/null yourself | 01:17 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, man says "option to only mask temporarily until the next reboot" | 01:19 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: yes, if you use the --runtime option | 01:21 |
| DarkTrick | If I get it right, it would just create a link with the name of the service file, that's redirected to /dev/null | 01:21 |
| sarnold | yes | 01:21 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, thank you! | 01:22 |
| === johuck2 is now known as johuck | ||
| pi0 | is wacom supported right out of the box for ubuntu 20.04 | 01:25 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, essentially systemctl creates a link in /run/systemd/system. Is my assumption correct, that files in /run/systemd/system "overwrite"/"mask" files in /usr/lib/systemd/user ? | 01:26 |
| pi0 | i notice it is not smooth | 01:26 |
| DarkTrick | pi0 I have a tablet here, it works fine so far | 01:26 |
| DarkTrick | pi0, Though, I don't use the buttons | 01:26 |
| pi0 | i do not use the buttons and its is fully charged | 01:26 |
| pi0 | and its lagging when i draw | 01:26 |
| pi0 | ubuntu with gnonme | 01:27 |
| DarkTrick | pi0, Hm, never experienced that. How about if you're using the cord? | 01:27 |
| pi0 | bluetooth | 01:27 |
| DarkTrick | pi0 With wacom you should also have the option to connect is via USB | 01:29 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: here's a table of where the unit files can be located and the default order in which they override each other: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html#Unit%20File%20Load%20Path | 01:30 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: I expect the order on ubuntu is the same, but I haven't checked myself | 01:31 |
| pi0 | wow what a major difference with usb | 01:32 |
| pi0 | i did not consider that | 01:32 |
| pi0 | is there a tweak tool for it | 01:32 |
| pi0 | to configure buttons and such | 01:32 |
| DarkTrick | pi0, I'm glad that it works with USB. However, it SHOULD work properly with bluetooth. Maybe it's worth filing a report? As reference: In case you use Xorg, I also experience regular problems with non-std I/O devices. | 01:37 |
| DarkTrick | pi0, I don't know of any tool, but maybe some else does | 01:37 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, thank you for the list! Very helpful! | 01:39 |
| DarkTrick | An interesting lot of paths, though... especially the run/etc/usr-differences are... too much imo... but well... | 01:39 |
| systemE | Question: in unattended-upgrades, does "${distro_id}ESMApps:${distro_codename}-apps-security"; or "${distro_id}ESM:${distro_codename}-infra-security"; auto install kernel updates as part of security updates? | 01:44 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: yeah, I can understand -- however, eg the apparmor system defined paths back around 2000 or so, and just used /etc same as everything else did at the time | 01:44 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: and imho it's been a PITA ever since -- it'd be so much nicer to have a well-defined override mechanism, or an add-in mechanism, like systemd's designed. systemd's design feels super-complicated at first but it solves a *lot* of problems and does so with a simple consistency | 01:45 |
| DarkTrick | sarnold, I'm relieved I'm not the only one. Btw, what is a "PITA"? | 01:47 |
| DarkTrick | I guess it's no "is a family of yeast-leavened round flatbreads baked from wheat flour" :D | 01:48 |
| systemE | from "apt list --installed" some say "installed,automatic" what does this mean? | 01:48 |
| sarnold | systemE: esm-infra-security has some kernel updates in it, yes | 01:48 |
| sarnold | DarkTrick: PITA == Pain In The Ass :) | 01:48 |
| DarkTrick | :D thank you | 01:49 |
| DarkTrick | I imagined something like "a change request" :D | 01:49 |
| sarnold | systemE: apt keeps track of which packages were explicitly installed by the user and which ones were dragged in as dependencies, so when you remove packages later, it can say "these packages were auto-installed, should we remove them?" | 01:49 |
| systemE | sarnold: so installed,automatic does not mean it was automatically installed by unattended-upgradees-- totally different? | 01:51 |
| sarnold | systemE: yeah I think the 'automatic' means it was installed as a dependency of something else | 01:51 |
| systemE | sarnold: Ok, thank you. So I have this issue at work, our journald logs for our services stops working, e.g. journalctl -u mysql shows and systemctl status mysql, or systemctl status systemd-journald, both show the message "Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable." | 01:53 |
| systemE | Logs return when the server is rebooted | 01:53 |
| systemE | (until it happens again) | 01:53 |
| systemE | after reading https://community.centminmod.com/threads/error-journal-has-been-rotated-since-unit-was-started.16664/ it appears that maybe the kernel is auto updating and breaking the logger? | 01:54 |
| systemE | uname -a shows Linux db1 4.15.0-112-generic #113-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 9 23:41:39 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 01:54 |
| systemE | ls -al /vmlinuz shows lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Oct 14 14:45 /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-121-generic | 01:55 |
| sarnold | systemE: I think that question about kernel updates in that thread is misguided | 01:55 |
| systemE | Could I be onto something? | 01:55 |
| sarnold | systemE: it is important to reboot into kernel updates periodically, yes, but it shouldn't be related to the usual journald log rotations | 01:55 |
| systemE | any ideas? | 01:55 |
| sarnold | systemE: honestly it's probably juts a matter of making sure there's loads of storage space avalable for the /var/log/journal filesystm, to reduce the frequency / time / etc of journal rotations | 01:59 |
| pi0 | 01:49 < DarkTrick> I imagined something like "a change request" :D | 01:59 |
| DarkTrick | pi0, sorry that sentence was about "PITA", not addressed to your issue | 02:00 |
| systemE | sarnold: 8.2G free space, there's only one file in /var/log/journal | 02:05 |
| systemE | the file in in journal is 1.4 G | 02:05 |
| systemE | journalctl -u systemd-journald shows, -- Logs begin at Thu 2020-10-01 10:49:50 CDT, end at Tue 2020-10-27 21:06:46 CDT. -- Oct 01 10:49:50 db1 systemd-journald[510]: System journal (/var/log/journal/612892249edc4cf7b40cdfd1534feded) is 1.4G, max 1.4G, 18.0M free. | 02:08 |
| systemE | sarnold: Could this be the problem ^ ? | 02:08 |
| sarnold | systemE: hmm, I would have expected that to be closer to 4g if it's rotating already .. check journald.conf(5) for the full set of things you can tweak | 02:08 |
| sarnold | systemE: yeah that's itexactly! :) | 02:09 |
| systemE | WOOT | 02:09 |
| systemE | my boss is gonna be happy | 02:09 |
| systemE | thanx sarnold . Any ideas how to resolve this? | 02:09 |
| === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin | ||
| sarnold | systemE: the journald.conf settings SystemMaxUse= and SystemKeepFree= are my first guesses | 02:11 |
| sarnold | systemE: I don't know how to dump the current settings :( | 02:12 |
| systemE | sarnold: so according to arch wiki, "If the journal is persistent (non-volatile), its size limit is set to a default value of 10% of the size of the underlying file system but capped at 4 GiB." Now our /var/log/journal is on a 15G disk, so 1.4G is the max the journal can be, confirming the wiki. | 02:29 |
| systemE | sarnold: I'm surprised the journal just "stops working" when it maxes out its size? Why doesn't it rotate and archive or something, do you know? | 02:30 |
| sarnold | systemE: it does | 02:33 |
| sarnold | systemE: because it throws away old contents it shows you the warning about incomplete output | 02:33 |
| systemE | but it "stops working" e.g. currently typing systemctl status mysql shows NOTHING | 02:36 |
| systemE | "SystemMaxUse= and RuntimeMaxUse= control how much disk space the journal may use up at most." "...defaults to 10%...of the respective file system, but each value is capped to 4G." | 02:43 |
| sarnold | systemE: perhaps mysql just hasn't emitted anything recently? | 02:50 |
| sarnold | systemE: can you cause mysql to emit messages on demand to test? | 02:50 |
| systemE | seems unlikely considering we have tons of stuff like mattermost,redmine and dozens of drupal/civicrm websites utilizing this service | 02:55 |
| sarnold | I don't actually know mysql, what kinds of things would it print to the journal once it's started and running? | 02:57 |
| sarnold | I'd sort of expect it to emit a bunch of tihngs like limits, configs, listenings ports, etc at startup, and then I'd expect it to be silent until something goes wrong | 02:58 |

| Industrial | ducasse: no it's not. It's https://minion.mmoui.com/?download | 07:22 |
| Industrial | So a jar file | 07:22 |
| Industrial | I tried the latest openjdk but it's giving me errors, quite possibly a too new version of java | 07:22 |

| Industrial | That's what I get | 07:23 |
| ducasse | in that case we don't support it, so you should ask whoever provides the software which java version(s) it works with | 07:23 |
| Industrial | it says so .. Java 1.8_92+ .. | 07:25 |
| ducasse | if it says 1.8.92+ i would guess it works with any version higher than that, which is obviously not the case | 07:26 |

| renn0xtk9 | I make an nfs share from 1 ubuntu to another | 07:54 |

I found that reinstall a snap app can make it work work again. I wonder that if there any easier way to repair all snap apps? | 08:18 |

| StyXman | one question about fan networking https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FanNetworking where do these names come from? fan-250-0-127 | 09:29 |
| StyXman | and how to they relate to examples | 09:29 |

| tatertots | renn0xtk9: in terminal> sudo cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports|nc termbin.com 9999 | 09:29 |
| StyXman | renn0xtk9: that link is broken, but easily fixable | 09:30 |
| TJ- | StyXman: they're in-addr.arpa (reverse order) so 250-0-127 would be 127.0.250.0/24 | 09:30 |
| StyXman | TJ-: so they are not related to the previous examples at all, right? | 09:30 |
| space1 | ? i have a ubuntu 20.04 lts running in virtualbox | 09:32 |
| space1 | i changed the networking from NAT to a Bridged connector | 09:32 |
| space1 | now i cannot update with `apt update' i get a lot of hash sum mismatches | 09:32 |
| StyXman | that sounds more a vbox bug than *buntu's | 09:33 |
| space1 | OK but i got archlinux working the same way | 09:33 |
| StyXman | space1: can you restart the networking service? sudp systemctl restart networking | 09:33 |
| StyXman | sudo*, or use NM if you have a desktop | 09:33 |
| renn0xtk9 | tatertots: https://termbin.com/6ltam | 09:34 |
| space1 | StyXman: i get failed to restart networking.service not found | 09:34 |

| TJ- | space1: is the VM using Ubuntu desktop with GUI, or ubuntu server? | 09:35 |
| StyXman | TJ-: yeah, that's what confusing me | 09:35 |
| TJ- | StyXman: me too! | 09:35 |
| space1 | TJ-: it is using the default GUI | 09:35 |
| space1 | i haven't changed anything | 09:35 |
| TJ- | space1: ok, so you'd do "systemctl restart NetworkManager" | 09:36 |
| TJ- | space1: desktop uses NetworkManager not ifupdown (networking.service) | 09:36 |
| space1 | TJ-: OK good to know | 09:36 |
| space1 | i am not used to debian based distros yet | 09:36 |
| TJ- | StyXman: may be some clues here; there's mention of fan and defaults https://lxd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networks/ | 09:37 |
| StyXman | TJ-: I didn't know the service was not installed, I use ubuntu at work and debian at home and never noticed the fdifference | 09:37 |

| space1 | StyXman: TJ-: your advice didn't help i think there might be a MAC address clash somewhere | 09:40 |
| TJ- | space1: check the log: "journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager -n 100" to review that last 100 messages - NM is very verbose and helpful in logs | 09:41 |

| ThinkT510 | dexterfoo: find out what it is for | 10:14 |
| tatertots | renn0xtk9: since you don't have a centralized directory like LDAP or Active Directory, it'll be a by hand manual process which aren't forgiving to typographical errors and or syntax | 10:14 |

| hansh | lotuspsychje, actually no, i'm using Xubuntu (20.04), i'll check if it's Xubuntu specific, have a Ubuntu 20.04 nearby as well | 10:32 |
| Maik | hansh: doesn't matter, it's still ubuntu only with the Xfce desktop. Hence the X | 10:33 |
| Maik | so it works the same | 10:34 |
| hansh | Maik, (actually with Xubuntu it's slightly more than that, at least if you install from the official Xubuntu cd, rather than the Ubuntu netinst cd) | 10:34 |
| ThinkT510 | hansh: apt is the same in both | 10:34 |
| hansh | fuuuu | 10:34 |

| Maik | what i was trying to say is that the base is still ubuntu and work the same | 10:36 |

| hansh | so how do you use wildcards in the 20.04 style? | 10:49 |
| EriC^^ | how is it a bug to remove a feature and add a different style glob? it's pretty intentional | 10:50 |

| hansh | or, is wildcards even supported in the 20.04 style? maybe it isn't? | 10:50 |

| dionysus69 | so the full disk encryption installer doesnt encrypt the /boot partition, what are some security implications? | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:41 |
| Maik | o/ | 12:41 |
| ogra | dionysus69, the implication is that you use secureboot which will make sure only properly signed kernels are used... | 12:41 |
| dionysus69 | so not encrypting /boot partition is more secure because it uses UEFI secureboot? | 12:42 |
| dionysus69 | If I understood you correctly | 12:42 |
| ogra | it isnt "more secure", secureboot will simply verify the kernel and initrd when loading them, disk encryption would just add a useless extra layer here | 12:43 |
| ogra | (if you'd add a modified kernel or initrd, the system would simply not boot ... while an encrypted /boot would prevent you from changing the files, the result would be the same in both cases) | 12:44 |
| dionysus69 | but without secureboot AND without encrypted /boot partition, you encrypted main partition is still safe, whether you boot it with or without modified kernel ogra, isnt that right? | 12:50 |
| ogra | well, if you use full disk encryption without securing also the kernel bits there is indeed always a risk | 12:53 |
| ogra | it really only makes sense if you use both together | 12:53 |
| ogra | i.e. not using scureboot you could easily craft an initrd that does a dd backup of the encrypted partitions to usb stick ... then carry that usb stick away and use some encryption cracker tool on a powerful machine to unencrypt the data | 12:55 |
| ogra | so the only actual secure way is to combine both ... | 12:55 |

| Bill73 | having problems getting traffic to transmission 3.0 i allowed ufw 51413/tcp and udp. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1020695/transmission-cant-download-due-to-ufw refers to a superuser post about rc.local and adding a couple lines but rc.local is not there ubuntu 20.04 | 14:49 |
| === vulpine is now known as foxtober | ||
| Maik | Bill73: after allowing, did you reload the firewall? | 14:51 |
| Maik | i've been struggling myself to set it up | 14:52 |
| Bill73 | Maik: no lemmee look up how to do it | 14:52 |
| tatertots | Bill73: what port do you have configured in transmission? | 14:54 |
| Maik | Bill73: sudo ufw reload | 14:54 |
| Bill73 | Maik: yeah says it was not enabled? | 14:55 |
| Bill73 | but I had to allow ssh from a local terminal before i could remote access | 14:56 |
| Maik | sudo ufw enable | 14:56 |
| Maik | if ufw wasn't enabled then transmisson should work iirc | 14:56 |
| Maik | unless a firewall in your modem is blocking it? | 14:57 |
| Bill73 | thats what I would believe I have the port open on router and transmission 3.0 is working from a headless Pi with rasp pi os on it | 14:58 |
| Bill73 | i did a status and it shows the ports open | 14:59 |
| Bill73 | i should mention that up until a couple days ago I was running ubuntu 18.04, and the previous default transmission through same router/modem as well with no issues so I'm pretty sure its not the modem/router and since the headless Pi is able to dl torrents I'm certain its something with my setup on ubuntu 20.04 PC Iam going to remove it and start over | 15:18 |
| Guess59061 | Why is copying a file from my disk to a tmpfs twice as fast as copying the same file from one tmpfs to another? | 15:28 |

| liviuba | Hi, I have a lenovo ThinkBook laptop, running Ubuntu with kernel 5.9.0-050900rc1-generic. Immediately after booting the bluetooth works (the icon is present in the sidebar and I can connect my headphones) but after I close the laptop lid and re-open it, the bluetooth icon dissapears and if I run `blueman-manager` I get `blueman-manager 17.39.08 ERROR Manager:122 on_dbus_name_appeared: No adapter(s) found, exiting` any help | 15:39 |
| liviuba | please? | 15:39 |
| leftyfb | liviuba: try booting to the supported 5.8 | 15:43 |
| hydrian | Ello all | 15:50 |
| hydrian | I'm have an issue with clamd. After I start it, clamd starts to load the the virus databases and then clamd crashes. | 15:51 |
| liviuba | leftyfb, I had to update the kernel to get the trackpad to work, back when I was initially setting up the system | 15:51 |
| hydrian | I'm running 18.04 (fully updated) | 15:51 |
| hydrian | google isn't showing anything useful at the moement | 15:54 |
| Bill73 | so I completely removed and purged transmission ppa. reinstalled transmission-gtk. | 15:57 |
| Bill73 | open transmission and first thenig I check is port, testing it says closed now. from terminal sud ufw status shows 51413 ALLOW on both udp/tcp | 15:58 |
| Bill73 | I KNOW its not the router/modem blocking it for the simple fact that I have a Pi running Rasp Pi OS and transmission 3.0 and it can download and seed | 16:00 |
| Bill73 | ok si set the networking to used a random port everytime its opened added a know good torrent that I used on the Pi and its actually getting peers now and 2 trackers are listing peers | 16:10 |
| Bill73 | its acutally working now | 16:11 |
| rfm | Bill73, I just checked my transmission and it says 51413 is "closed" yet I have many, many connections to 51413. Not sure if transmission's port open/closed detection is real reliable... | 16:13 |
| Bill73 | rfm: understand random port seems to be working. | 16:17 |
| Bill73 | so transmission-gtk is a standalone client? what exactly is transmission-daemon because thats what I've always used. is it a "daemon" that will be started on boot? this has me confused too | 16:18 |
| rfm | Bill73, I believe transmission-gtk is just a gui app that controls transmission-daemon. (There's a CLI too.) I don't know much about either, I use the web interface since transmission-daemon is running on the server out in the garage not on the machine in front of me | 16:21 |
| Bill73 | rfm: have you used the android app Transmission Remote because thats what I am using on my Pi and what I WAS using on my ubuntu 18.04 and transmission-daemon setup. its extremely odd that I am having so much trouble on 20.04 with 3.0 | 16:23 |
| rfm | Bill73, hmm looking at it transmission-gtk may not run a separate daemon. | 16:23 |
| rfm | Bill73, no android anything here. I'm running fine with 20.04 and transmission 2.94 (which is what is in the repos.) | 16:26 |
| Bill73 | rfm: the android is just an interface ona tablet. I added the 3.0 ppa from transmissionbt. | 16:27 |
| systemE | systemd-journald question. At work our database server seems to stop logging mysql every time the journals are rotated. systemctl status myslq and journalctl -u systemd-journald both contain, "Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable." the latter command additionally "Oct 01 10:49:50 db1 systemd-journald[510]: System journal (/var/log/journal/612892249edc4cf7b40cdfd1534 | 16:28 |
| systemE | 1.4G, max 1.4G, 18.0M free." Why could this be happening, is there a way to resolve it? | 16:28 |
| systemE | It can't be out of space and just unable to log, shouldn't it be auto vacuuming itself and rotating and keep on logging? | 16:29 |
| rfm | Bill73, can't help with transmission 3.0, but I did just verify (via netcat from a VPS system) that I can connect in to port 51413 even though transmission says the port is closed. | 16:36 |
| Bill73 | rfm: weird it would not let me dl/seed the exact same torrent I did on the Pi last night. So annoying. oh well the random port everytime it starts is working | 16:37 |

| systemE | question is this normal? journalctl -t mysqld shows frequent messages from the mysqld process, e.g. "Oct 28 12:08:30 kv1 mysqld[23163]: 2020-10-28T17:08:30.104954Z 121885 [Note] Got an error reading communication packets" ### MEANWHILE meanwhile journalctl -u mysql shows "-- No entries --" | 18:01 |
| systemE | Why doesn't journalctl -u show any entries but journalctl -t does ? | 18:01 |
| Seveas | mysql*d* | 18:01 |
| TJ- | systemE: because -t is the syslog identifier, whereas -u is the unit file name | 18:02 |

| mgedmin | systemE: are you sure you spelled the unit name right? | 18:05 |
| michele | does unattended-upgrades also takes care of restarting daemons affected by the unattended upgrade? e.g. nginx | 18:06 |
| systemE | mgedmin: yes. | 18:06 |
| jpds | michele: Yep, or rather the packaging postinst script does | 18:07 |
| TJ- | systemE: what package is installed that provides mysql? | 18:07 |
| mgedmin | michele: usually yes, but it depends on what the package's own postinst script does | 18:07 |
| mgedmin | michele: I once had elasticsearch installed from uptream's own repo and _their_ packages didn't restart services after an apt upgrade | 18:08 |
| mgedmin | (which is how a CVE I thought I'd fixed remained unfixed and somebody broke in) | 18:08 |
| mgedmin | michele: check out the 'needrestart' package for discovering daemons that should've been restarted but haven't been | 18:09 |
| mgedmin | (there's also 'checkrestart' in the debian-goodies package that does the same thing) | 18:09 |
| michele | thanks | 18:10 |
| mgedmin | tbh I'd be extremely surprised to find a package from the official repos not restart its daemons during an upgrade | 18:13 |
| mgedmin | it's probably even mandated by the debian policy | 18:13 |

| c-nister | does anybody know how to fix my problem which is: boot from encrypted drive (inside is a lvm) drops me into initramfs-shell saying "volume group XYZ could not be found"... | 20:06 |
| Guess59061 | I have an initramfs image in /boot with busybox; why doesn't modifying /etc/grub.d/40_custom with menuentry "bbpls" {set root=(hd0,1) linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splashinitrd /initramfs.img} give me an additional menu entry? I think I'm missing something basic, but I'm very new to this. | 20:07 |
| TJ- | c-nister: I wrote the book on it :) | 20:09 |
| c-nister | TJ-, you again :-) | 20:09 |
| c-nister | nice | 20:09 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: I take it /boot/ is a separate file-system | 20:09 |
| Guess59061 | TJ- No it's the /boot directory. | 20:10 |
| Guess59061 | I see some other images are there, so I figured I should put mine there as well? | 20:11 |
| c-nister | TJ-, i did all You said, i still cannot boot without interfering in initramfs shell | 20:11 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: /boot/ is a directory in the root file-system, not the mountpoint for a separate file-system containing the kernel and initrd? in which case your paths should be /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initramfs.img | 20:12 |
| TJ- | c-nister: just to ensure I'm clear; you DO NOT have encrypted GRUB, this is just for the root file-system that is inside an LVM which is inside the LUKS container? | 20:12 |
| Guess59061 | OK lemme try. | 20:12 |
| c-nister | TJ-, yes, boot is not encrypted. | 20:13 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: those paths should be relative to GRUB's 'root' variable | 20:13 |
| c-nister | TJ-, i can dpaste some outputs if you are interested | 20:14 |
| TJ- | c-nister: OK, so first I need you to capture and pastebin the output of update-initramfs, specifically: "sudo update-initramfs -vu -k $(uname -r) |& tee /tmp/initrd.log" then "pastebinit /tmp/initrd.log" | 20:14 |
| c-nister | TJ-, slowly | 20:15 |
| c-nister | one step after the first | 20:15 |
| TJ- | c-nister: just copy/paste the commands contained inside the "..." I put into your shell | 20:15 |
| c-nister | TJ-, almost there | 20:16 |
| TJ- | c-nister: tip: in these cases install "dropbear-initramfs" which is a small ssh server so you can access the initramfs over the network :) | 20:17 |
| c-nister | TJ-, wgetpase makes nonsense, damn | 20:21 |
| Guess59061 | TJ- OK so, I realized /dev/sda5 is mounted on /, so then I should use (hd0,5) and root=/dev/sda5, and /boot/img... /boot/vmlin..., right? I did that, but that doesn't work either. | 20:30 |

| TJ- | Guess59061: OK, so /boot/ is part of the root file-system | 20:35 |
| Guess59061 | Yes, correct. | 20:35 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: when you're editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom you *ARE* doing "sudo update-grub" afterwards, before rebooting? | 20:36 |

| Guess59061 | TJ- Yeah, it's in there. menuentry "bbpls" { set root=(hd0,5) linux /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initramfs.img } | 20:43 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: is it in a sub-menu or on the first level? | 20:46 |
| Guess59061 | TJ- first level | 20:47 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: my guess is you've got another instance of GRUB on that PC and the one you're now editing isn't it, so you change this one, but the GRUB that starts is reading another grub.cfg. show me what "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" reports | 20:48 |
| Guess59061 | That command returns just "EFI variables are not supported on this system.". | 20:49 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: so it booted in BIOS mode; you mentioned an EFI-SP in sda1 earlier so I assumed it is doing an UEFI boot | 20:50 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: I suspect you've a syntax error in your 40_custom | 20:51 |
| Guess59061 | There are no spaces at the end of lines, and I used 4 spaces to indent, not sure if that matters. | 20:52 |

| Guess59061 | Yes. | 20:56 |

| petester | hello, im having trouble with a fresh ubuntu installation. after an update/upgrade the computer wouldnt boot. so I booted the older kernel, purged the new one, updated grub, but now i cant get into the old kernel either | 21:02 |
| petester | i am booted on a thumb drive, can someone point me down the path to fixing this | 21:02 |
| Guess59061 | EriC^^ https://termbin.com/xj2h | 21:03 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: what's on /dev/sdb? another os? | 21:04 |
| Guess59061 | No, there's nothing there I think. | 21:04 |
| EriC^^ | petester: what happens when you try to boot the old kernel? | 21:05 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: ok, type "sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda" | 21:06 |
| petester | the same thing it did with the new kernel, the screen just goes black and it hangs | 21:06 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: " set root=(hd0,5) " should be " set root='hd0,5' " | 21:06 |
| petester | i'm not sure if this matters, but i am attempting to use disk encryption and I don't get to the point that i can enter a decrypt password. | 21:06 |
| TJ- | Guess59061: in fact, it realy ought to be " set root='hd0,msdo5' " | 21:06 |
| Sven_vB | on Ubuntu focal, unattended apt install for chromium got stuck until I manually stopped it. turns out it tried stubbornly to reach the snap store. is this a chromium problem or could it happen for other packages as well? | 21:07 |
| Guess59061 | TJ- Okay that... seems to be working... | 21:07 |
| EriC^^ | Guest47767: when you reboot, make sure to select /dev/sda as the boot device first in the boot order | 21:08 |
| TJ- | petester: is that a UEFI system/install ? | 21:09 |
| petester | i think it probably i | 21:10 |
| petester | probably is | 21:10 |
| petester | there are two partitions, one fat32 and another linux, each about a half a gig | 21:10 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, you're running a 'try ubuntu' session right now? | 21:10 |
| petester | yes | 21:10 |
| TJ- | petester: and does it have Internet connectivity ? | 21:10 |
| Guess59061 | TJ- Nope, still doesn't work. | 21:10 |
| petester | yup. im talking to you on it now. | 21:11 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: you booted /dev/sda and still no custom menu? | 21:11 |
| Guess59061 | Sorry, it's frustrating, the restart did something weird, but no new screens appeared. | 21:11 |
| Guess59061 | EriC^^ One sec. | 21:11 |
| TJ- | petester: great. so we can collect some useful info. start with "pastebinit <( uname -a; sudo lsblk -f; sudo blkid; cat /etc/fstab /etc/crypttab; ) " | 21:12 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HxJxxS4Ppj/ | 21:13 |
| petester | not sure if this matters either, but its configured for raid | 21:14 |
| Guess59061 | EriC^^ There are no custom menus whatsoever. I can press f12 and I can choose one of the 3 hdds but that's it. | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: odd | 21:17 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: oh, were you booted earlier in the actual os, or a live try ubuntu session? | 21:19 |
| TJ- | petester: ok, we need to mount the broken root file-system: "sudo -i" to be 'root' then "mkdir /target; cryptsetup open /dev/mapper/isw_baghcicjjh_Volume3p3 crypto_root; mount /dev/mapper/crypto_root /target; ls /target/" and you should see the expected directories of a root file-system (bin, etc, usr, home, and so on) | 21:19 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind, you gave df output so i guess actual os | 21:19 |
| Guess59061 | EriC^^ It's a VM, but an actual OS, ya. | 21:19 |
| TJ- | petester: you'll be prompted for the LUKS pass-phrase | 21:20 |
| EriC^^ | Guess59061: try to boot into again, we could install grub also to sdb if you're certain there's no OS there that is using its mbr, just in case it's booting using that mbr | 21:20 |
| petester | TJ- that second command returned errors, i will post it | 21:21 |
| Guess59061 | I'll come here tomorrow, sorry. Thank you a lot for trying, TJ as well. | 21:21 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/y7GSRmqRr2/ | 21:22 |
| petester | im guessing i have to do the mkdir after the encryption | 21:22 |
| TJ- | petester: oh my fault; forgot there's an LVM in there | 21:22 |
| TJ- | petester: no, you're fine | 21:22 |
| TJ- | petester: show me "pastebinit <( ls /dev/mapper/ )" | 21:23 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GFWn8hgFZC/ | 21:23 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, let's do it correctly this time :) "mount /dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root /target" then you can do "ls /target/" to check you see the root file-system directories | 21:24 |
| petester | it looks like they are all existing | 21:26 |
| TJ- | petester: then do "for n in proc sys dev etc/resolv.conf; do mount --rbind /$n /target/$n; done" -- this puts the kernel file-systems into the target so we can attempt to fix it. Then ensure all file-systems are mounted by doing "chroot /target mount -a" | 21:26 |
| petester | i didnt see any output for those commands, so i am assuming it worked | 21:27 |
| TJ- | petester: good. I suspect the problem here is the RAID devices; and grub-install possibly unable to write to the RAID device itself | 21:29 |
| TJ- | petester: we can see there's an EFI system partition at /dev/mapper/isw_baghcicjjh_Volume3p1 but I don't recall if GRUB knows how to assemble that kind of RAID device (isw) | 21:29 |
| petester | ok, I can reconfigure to not use raid if that will make everything play nicely | 21:30 |
| petester | thank you so much for the help, i need to just hang out in here and learn a couple of things at some point | 21:31 |
| TJ- | petester: let's try this: "chroot /target grub-install -v /dev/mapper/isw_baghcicjjh_Volume3 |& tee /tmp/grub-install.log" then show me the log with "pastebinit /tmp/grub-install.log" | 21:32 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JKBWF4fy5f/ | 21:33 |
| TJ- | petester: if I disappear --- battery died! | 21:33 |
| petester | I'll keep my fingers crossed | 21:34 |
| TJ- | petester: that failed because it seems that GRUB is installed to use BIOS mode but there's an EFI system partition. show me "pastebinit /target/etc/fstab" | 21:36 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Cg72SbCsxT/ | 21:36 |
| TJ- | petester: this may be due to the PC's boot mode not being correct | 21:36 |
| petester | So I should reboot and verify that I am in UEFI mode? | 21:36 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, fstab confirms it is/was an EFI install but for some reason now, it has the BIOS version of GRUB installed (grub-pc package, not grub-efi-amd64) | 21:37 |
| TJ- | petester: what does "pastebinit <( chroot /target apt list --installed 'grub*' )" report ? | 21:38 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bh9nZDQQGM/ | 21:38 |
| TJ- | battery = 12% | 21:38 |
| petester | I hope we make it before you run out TJ- :) | 21:39 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, that looks good , the EFI packages are installed. You need to reboot the 'try ubuntu' as an UEFI session rather than BIOS so grub in the chroot can operate in EFI mode | 21:39 |
| TJ- | petester: but it is possible it might boot correctly without us touching it ... | 21:40 |
| petester | ok i will try to be fast | 21:40 |
| TJ- | petester: ... it may just be the system was booting in BIOS/legacy mode not UEFI | 21:40 |
| petester | im back | 21:45 |
| TJ- | petester: on AC charging now :) | 21:45 |
| petester | great! | 21:45 |
| petester | i noticed that my bios was set to legacy only, so i think my problem might be that simple | 21:45 |
| TJ- | petester: YES! | 21:45 |
| petester | it is on uefi only now | 21:45 |
| petester | ok I will reboot one more time and try to get into the actual installation instead of the usb | 21:46 |
| TJ- | petester: great; let's check with "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" | 21:46 |
| petester | ah ok i will do that | 21:46 |
| TJ- | petester: we may as well check it looks sane before another reboot | 21:46 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7Z85WrghXd/ | 21:47 |
| TJ- | petester: looks like Ubuntu is the default boot OS, and is installed to work in SecureBoot mode (shimx64.efi) | 21:47 |
| TJ- | petester: so I think it's worth just doing a reboot without the USB in :) | 21:48 |
| petester | ok i hope i am back soon | 21:48 |
| petester | back | 21:53 |
| petester | it did not work | 21:53 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, let's try to fix it then! | 21:53 |
| petester | i was able to get into a recovery session | 21:53 |
| petester | so i am no longer on USB | 21:53 |
| TJ- | petester: oh, so it did boot Linux/Ubuntu then! | 21:53 |
| petester | Yes, sorry :) | 21:53 |
| TJ- | petester: so the problem is it doesn't appear to start the default boot entry, to a desktop? | 21:54 |
| petester | but i am very low resolution and I was unable to get into the non-safe-mode side | 21:54 |
| petester | My computer will boot to GRUB, but the default boot mode fails. I had to select advanced, and then select the recovery mode | 21:54 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, let's try to collect some more info: "pastebinit <( journalctl --list-boots )" | 21:55 |
| petester | ok one sec | 21:55 |
| TJ- | petester: it could be this is a video driver issue. What are the symptoms when it tries to boot to the default entry? black screen? spinner that never goes away? something else? | 21:56 |
| petester | pastebinit <( journalctl --list-boots ) | 21:56 |
| * TJ- pushes the command to the terminal | 21:56 | |
| xBfrog | i tired installing woeusb but it wont open and terminal doesnt see it, is there another way to creat a win boot usb? | 21:56 |
| petester | i see an error pop up for a split second, i have to video it to see what it says | 21:56 |
| petester | and then it all goes blank and just hangs | 21:57 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, lets hope the log helps us figure it out | 21:57 |
| Bashing-om | !rufus | xBfrog | 21:57 |
| xBfrog | Bashing-om: ok i'll check again | 21:58 |
| Bashing-om | xBfrog: From Windows I often see: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows <- rufus recommended. | 21:59 |

| petester | a lot of output just got spat out, am i supposed to be doing something? | 22:01 |
| petester | i dont know how to scroll irssi and my resolution is bad | 22:01 |
| xBfrog | rufus seems only to support windows, i dont have a windows system | 22:01 |
| TJ- | petester: we should be getting it in a pastebin; let me check it is going to stdout so it can be captured | 22:01 |
| petester | ok | 22:02 |
| TJ- | petester: this command should give you a pastebin URL with the captured output in: "pastebinit <( journalctl --list-boots )" | 22:02 |
| petester | pastebinit <( journalctl --list-boots ) | 22:03 |
| petester | ahh | 22:03 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SpR7fvpqMM/ | 22:03 |
| TJ- | petester: looks like it's pasting the command into IRSSI rather than a shell | 22:03 |
| petester | i was clicking the middle wheel expecting it to paste the link | 22:03 |
| petester | i have to remember to right click -> paste | 22:03 |
| Bashing-om | xBfrog: Sorry I misread . show me again the error of my ways and i try to correct my giudance. | 22:04 |
| petester | are you able to see the paste for the correct command? | 22:04 |
| TJ- | petester: :) ... that list seems to suggest the failed regular boot just before this recovery mode boot wasn't captured in logs | 22:04 |
| TJ- | petester: so let's work on the assumption this could be a video issue and check what hardware is installed. "pastebinit <( lspci -nnk )" | 22:05 |
| xBfrog | Bashing-om: i'm looking for a way to create a boot flash drive for windows 10 using Ubuntu | 22:05 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wd7RJNMBG8/ | 22:06 |
| Bashing-om | xBfrog: Thanks for the update - but that one is not in my range of experience - thankfully . | 22:07 |
| xBfrog | Bashing-om: ok thanks, i'll keep trying | 22:07 |
| TJ- | petester: that confirms what I suspected; that system has 2 GPUs, integrated Intel + Nvidia discrete. both look to be set to use open-source drivers. right now neither have drivers loaded which is why you've got a low-res VGA fallback display | 22:09 |
| ash_mobile | To the vim amd/or tmux users in here, do you use xterm or default gnome terminal? | 22:09 |
| TJ- | petester: actually, you have THREE GPUs - there's an AMD Radeon R9 too | 22:09 |
| Bashing-om | xBfrog: Patience - others will see that " I do not know" and perhaps have some options for you. | 22:09 |
| TJ- | petester: I suspect this is your problem - those are all different and the system doesn't know how to handle them. They might be fighting for priority. Let's look at the kernel log from this boot: "pastebinit <( journalctl -k )" | 22:10 |
| xBfrog | Bashing-om: just in case you run across it again UNetbootin installs fine from this page: https://unetbootin.github.io/linux_download.html | 22:13 |
| petester | TJ- i am getting pulled away to figure out what is wrong with the water heater | 22:14 |
| petester | And yes there is an AMD with two GPUs on the same PCB/PCI slot and an NVIDIA | 22:14 |
| petester | I'll unplug the AMD and maybe see if I can trade it for a water heater | 22:14 |
| petester | hang on here is your command | 22:14 |
| petester | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J5pF5BVf5W/ | 22:14 |
| TJ- | petester: OK, I'll read that and leave comments here, but I need to drive to the office shortly so will be AWOL. There are others that focus more on these GPU/driver related issues than I do | 22:15 |
| Bashing-om | xBfrog: \o/ | 22:15 |
| jeremy31 | petester: please join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss the water heater | 22:15 |
| petester | Thank you TJ- | 22:18 |
| TJ- | petester: the kernel log just confirms 'nomodeset' is active in recovery mode and therefore no GPU drivers are loaded; you'll need to boot without 'nomodeset' - but my guess is the 3 GPUs is the stumbling block so do try removing one of the discrete GPUs and see how it goes (I'd remove the nvidia 1st :) | 22:19 |
| petester | TJ- is there a reason to remove nvidia first? Or is that just personal preference? | 22:20 |
| TJ- | petester: some bias based on experience :) | 22:29 |
| TJ- | petester: but I'd do a systematic test of removing both, 1 at a time, and seeing the difference | 22:30 |
| petester | haha roger that. where did you learn all the boot stuff? I would like to learn some assembly and write programs that dont use an os but uefi looked like the most confusing thing on the planet | 22:30 |

| javi404 | removed again | 22:51 |
| javi404 | lets see on reinstall if it works | 22:51 |
