CorvusCoraxdmesg: "task systemd-sleep blocked for more than 900 seconds"  ... is that normal during ubuntu installation?00:40
CorvusCoraxim trying to install a ubuntu 20 minimal installation from live USB stick unto another USB stick - it's already taken 5 hours00:43
tomreyn!YY.MM | CorvusCorax00:44
ubottuCorvusCorax: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle00:44
ljkimzHello, I'm configuring LDAP on 18.04 and noticed that /etc/ldap.conf requires world-read permissions. This is a problem when the ldap server requires auth (bindpw). Is there any way around this?00:44
CorvusCorax20.04.1 LTS00:44
tomreynCorvusCorax: 5 hours would make me very suspect, too. did you check dmesg?00:44
CorvusCoraxyes i did, i got these warnings about hung tasks00:45
tomreyndid you skip the media test during boot?00:45
CorvusCoraxi did, but i previously booted from the same medium and it ran through succesfully00:46
CorvusCoraxskipped on later reboot, because it took so long the first time00:46
tomreyni wouldn't recommend skipping it, since a couple situations can occur whihc would make it work fine one time but not another time.00:47
tomreynhow much ram does this system have?00:47
CorvusCoraxin dmesg the only errors are "info: task install.py:***** blocked for more than 240 seconds" twice , and later several times systemd-sleep with the same and much longer dead times00:48
CorvusCorax8 GB00:48
tomreynmaybe you acidentially triggered a suspend event and it got stuck trying to switch to suspend.00:49
CorvusCorax /proc/meminfo says 6 Gig are "available" of which 1.8 Gig are used for buffers and 4 are used for cache00:49
tomreyni'd just re-do the installation00:49
CorvusCoraxon the pro side , the progress bar "copying data" finally finished after 5 hours and it now says "installing base system"00:50
CorvusCoraxits still doing something, its just awfully slow00:51
tomreynhmm, so either one of your usb sticks is remarkably slow, or the bus is, or you're dealing with broken hardware and this fact isn't being detected.00:52
ljkimzHello, I'm configuring LDAP on 18.04 and noticed that /etc/ldap.conf requires world-read permissions. This is a problem when the ldap server requires auth (bindpw). Is there any way around this?00:54
CorvusCoraxmy suspicion is that somehow those 2 USB sticks share the same bus or some other resource and the kernel isn't aware of it and thinks it can access them simultaneously causing them to block each other. i wonder if increasing write cache buffers on the fly would help00:55
CorvusCoraxjust for s.a.g. i hit "sync" - for the time being that froze everything, let's see if its faster afterwards00:56
CorvusCorax"<tomreyn> maybe you acidentially triggered a suspend event and it got stuck trying to switch to suspend." <-- good call, there's a "Dead" process called /lib/systemd/systemd-sleep suspend" in "ps -A"00:58
CorvusCoraxlooks like after waiting for so long the system decided to go to sleep on its own00:58
CorvusCoraxnot nice, ubuntu shouldn't auto-suspend for inactivity while in the middle of installation00:59
CorvusCoraxI aborted it now, let's see if this is reproducible01:01
tomreynljkimz: which ldap server are you using?01:02
ljkimzMy server is my Synology NAS. Queries work with ldapsearch and when the ldap.conf perms are 64401:03
ljkimzIt seems that nss requires the world read to access ldap.conf01:03
ljkimzI an actually authenticate but any actions that need NSS don't work (id, getent, etc)01:04
tomreynljkimz: you can place secrets in /etc/ldap.secret instead01:06
ljkimzand then have 600 on that file?01:08
tomreynpossibly. i'm just reading this up on documentation for you, but haven't set up ldap lately.01:08
ljkimzaha...ok, I appreciate that01:09
ljkimzI usually work on Red Hat so this is new. I've seen other Ubuntu servers that just connect to an anonymous bind enabled server. The account I use for queries is read only with a long random password. I guess the security impact is low but would be best to give some protection to the server and that password.01:10
ljkimzI think I could probably install/configure SSSD but this is mainly for a small POC setup so I didn't want to put forth too much effort.01:12
tomreynnote there is also #ubuntu-server for more server oriented questions. it's usually more vivid during the week.01:14
ljkimzOh, ok. Thanks for that tip. I'll hop over there.01:14

ignapkhey, I know 19.04 is EOL but I'm testing some older instructions and want to confirm they work before I try them with 20.04, so when I apt update I get paste.rs/82K and here's /etc/apt/sources.list paste.rs/dMh02:07
quadrathoch2ignapk i guess you would need to update your repos to the new location (since they are eol)02:08
ignapkI already replaced {archive,security}.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com, but I don't know what to replace ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports with02:09
cassignapk: what's the output of dpkg --print-architecture02:09
ignapkarm6402:09
quadrathoch2ignapk http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/02:09
cassignapk: try just replacing with old-releases too02:09
cassignapk: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/disco/ seems to have arm64 stuff in it, so it might Just Work02:10
ignapkok will try that02:10
ignapkugh this would be much easier if I had ANY kind of editor in there02:12
minallHello Ubuntu Community!... Is there something like a keyboard I can 'write' on with my graphics tablet? like a windows 10 feature but in Ubuntu?02:13
quadrathoch2minall do you mean a onscreen keyboard?02:14
quadrathoch2ignapk oO shouldn't there be any editor installed?02:14
cassignapk: for what it's worth, they don't all need to be separated. you can literally just make it four lines: https://dpaste.com/G942VPEEH02:15
cassthe default sources.list splits everything up and adds a bunch of comments and it's all unnecessary, the above is functionally equivalent02:15
ignapkoh I can easily > that paste then, thanks!02:16
minallquadrathoch2: Yes, that's what I mean, thanks you for looking into my question!02:16
ignapkquadrathoch2: ik right, unless there's something other than vim, emacs, nano, vi, ed that could be set as default *shrug*02:17
quadrathoch2minall gnome? if yes, you can activate the onscreen keyboard in accesibility02:18
quadrathoch2ignapk weird, as the default ubuntu install does have vim and nano installed as default. but as you have an arm board, idk what they maybe edited the install into ;)02:19
minallquadrathoch2: there is a onscreen keyboard but, I mean more specific like writing a letter with my graphics tablet and that is the 'input'02:20
quadrathoch2minall so you mean something like paint?02:20
ignapkthank god it worked, I've never apt installed vim that far in my life ;)02:20
cass:D02:21
quadrathoch2vi for life :)02:21
ignapkalso the script that does its thing uses this http://bridgman.canonical.com/releases/ubuntu-base/releases/19.04/release/ubuntu-base-19.04-base-arm64.tar.gz, maybe some ultra minimal version or sth02:22
ignapkwell it used to get it from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/19.04/release/ubuntu-base-19.04-base-arm64.tar.gz but that's 404 now as expected02:23

robertparkerxdo you all know why ubuntu 18.04 chooses only to support 7.2? that I have to use a ppa03:40
Maikrobertparkerx: support what?03:43
robertparkerxSorry php 7.203:44
quadrathoch2robertparkerx because back in the day, that was the latest php version03:44
robertparkerxIt reaches EOL03:45
Maikrobertparkerx: just like debian they stick to one version of software and keep it up to date with security patches and fixes.03:45
Maikrobertparkerx: then upgrade to 20.04 LTS which has 7.403:47
quadrathoch2robertparkerx just because upstream doesn't support 7.2 anymore, doesn't mean that canonical can't/won't support it03:47
robertparkerxMaik I had no idea03:47
robertparkerxLet me see if it prompts me03:47
robertparkerxmy greeting doesn't say 20.04 or anything about it when I login03:48
robertparkerxdodistupgrade or something like that03:48
Maikit should have since august03:49

robertparkerxthat's it03:51
robertparkerxis there anything I should read before?03:51
quadrathoch2robertparkerx disable and remove any ppas you might have03:52
quadrathoch2or third party repos03:52
Maikrobertparkerx: before upgrading, as always, backup your important date, make sure your system is fully up to date and that what quadrathoch2 said03:53
Maikby the way, there arenough tutorials or guides out there about upgrading.03:54

robertparkerxI've done this once but it prompted me03:58
robertparkerxTotally different provider though03:58
quadrathoch2robertparkerx just remember that maybe some of them you want again after the upgrade, some maybe you don't03:58
=== mambang is now known as rnm
robertparkerxso can I just move them away?03:59
quadrathoch2move out of the folder, yes, but you would still have the packages installed, that could give you issues04:00
robertparkerxI only want to keep two -- node and yarn04:00
robertparkerxoh04:00
quadrathoch2and I am not 100% sure how hetzner setup their repos (as in what does /etc/apt/sources.list say)04:00
robertparkerxhttps://i.hashdev.org/20201127_215706_ROBERTPARKERX.jpg04:00
quadrathoch2as that hetzner.list sounds like you would need to keep that04:00
robertparkerxI'm going to find more information before doing this04:05
robertparkerxI thought it was easier04:05
quadrathoch2robertparkerx you should, and always backup your data you want to keep04:06
quadrathoch2it is easy, but the first time is always a little bit trickier04:06
robertparkerxI don't know what list to keep and what not. Three of them I know I need to move because their ppa.04:06
robertparkerxI don't know about hetzner mirror and what certbot-ubuntu-certbot-bionic is04:07
robertparkerxI think I need to move them all and bring back hetzner mirror for sure04:08
Maikis it your server? who set it up?04:08
robertparkerxI did04:08
robertparkerxI read a lot though04:08
Maikthen you should know what to do and what is what imho04:08
robertparkerxI didn't add hetzner list04:09
robertparkerxI don't know what the other is. I added the three ppa04:09
robertparkerxI guess move them all and bring back hetzner list04:10
robertparkerxno guide mentions ppa or sources list04:18
robertparkerxit just says run the command04:18
robertparkerxhttps://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-18-04-lts-to-20-04-lts-today04:18

k3tanim looking for a way to open up the terminal and execute a few commands on startup of machine. the first command is `workon blocksat-api` which puts the terminal into a virtualenv, then second is to `cd /home/user/path/to/files` and third is to `./api_data_reader.py`. is there a way i can possibly automate all this and start up on boot?12:22

eia1xcan i change the qmmp icon (qt-based app)? I've already tried to change the icon tag in /usr/share/applications/ (with sudo updatedb)...16:24
nunya_<eia1x>I just changed the qmmp icon by opening /usr/share/applications, right clicked on location, open in terminal sudo chown nunya /usr/share/applications/qmmp.desktop. Now you can edit the qmmp.desktop with text editor. Go to icon portion of file, enter full path to new icon. Save qmmp.desktop16:44
geosmileWhen one administers a lot of machines - what is the preferred way to do sudo from a remote machine?17:04
Psi-JackHuh?17:05
Psi-JackYou don't "sudo from a remote machine"17:05
geosmilePsi-Jack, how do you administer 50 machines? Run apt-get update by ssh-ing 50 times?17:06
Psi-JackWell... Yes.17:07
Psi-JackOr use system orchestration tools, but updates, you tend to want to be careful about in many situations that might potentially be breaking business computers. Depending on many potential situations, of course.17:08
geosmilePsi-Jack, which tool? I'm trying to use ansible - but I'm not sure what is the correct way to setup things17:09
lnxslckPsi-Jack: which tool?17:09
lnxslckgeosmile: you should try saltstack17:09
Psi-Jackansible, salt (I'm not referring recommendations to salt anymore due to continuous breaking of core functionality), rudder, rudder+ansible, and, specifically, for update management, paid update management services designed for exactly this.17:11
Psi-Jackclusterssh, even has potential, for something like that.17:11
Psi-JackIt really depends /on what/ you want to be doing.17:12
geosmilePsi-Jack, just update/upgrade and install/remove packages17:12
tomreynyet another option would be to not carry out upgrades, but to deploy software and configuration often.17:12
tomreyn*release upgrades17:12
geosmiletomreyn, isnt it true that if one does not do update/upgrades - it can lead to security vulnerabilities?17:13
Psi-JackSoftware installation should generally be done with config management or policy management like Rudder.17:13
Psi-JackUpdates of said software could either be automatically updated, per the policy, or otherwise monitored by various means.17:13
lnxslckPsi-Jack: what continuous breaking? I havent had an issue since I can remember17:13
tomreyngeosmile: you should still install updates within the release. i was just considering an entirely different concept, which may not be for you, i.e. the containerized software deployment (docker/kubernetes) approach17:14
Psi-Jacklnxslck, It can vary, a lot. I've managed thousands of servers, over various countries, different clients, different distributions, different requirements, even freaking FDA requirements for locked versions of software associated with specific documentation and change control requirements.17:14
geosmiletomreyn, i just need to be able to see "update/upgrade" - required, and be able to fire literally "apt upgrade -y"17:15
Psi-JackUgh. docker.. NO!17:15
geosmiletomreyn, this is pre-docker talk i think17:15
lnxslckPsi-Jack: I only manage Ubuntu servers, 1 Fedora and 2 Debians, but never had an issue17:15
geosmilePsi-Jack, what are some good update management softwares? I see landscape - but they want to charge 1c/hour/machine - which is too expensive for me.17:16
Psi-JackHeh. Huge difference in doing small time, versus huge.17:16
lnxslckis Rudder this one? https://www.rudder.io/17:16
geosmilelnxslck, slatstack vs ansible - I'm just more familiar with ansible - so would go ansible route. But in that case, I've to setup a user with sudo (without password) on all my machines17:16
lnxslckgeosmile: does Ansible maitains states like Salt? I remember when I used it, it didnt17:17
Psi-JackRudder doesn't specifically manage system updates, HOWEVER it can, if you design it to run a system update technique of your choice, every so often.17:17

ubottuWant to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks!17:17
lotuspsychjefocus on ubuntu support issues please17:17
Psi-Jackgeosmile, So, last thing I can say, some of these support Ubuntu. Automox for example is one. https://www.comparitech.com/net-admin/best-linux-patch-management-tools/  -- Further talk would be better in -offtopic as suggested.17:19

TheMadDrizzleHoping someone can help me.  I'm on a laptop that's running 18.10, and I am unable to get the upgrade to work.  I have been following the guide here "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades" with no joy.  It still fails stating upgrade not possible from 'cosmic' to 'focal'17:41
lnxslckTheMadDrizzle: have you upgraded everything before? is apt-get update and apt-get upgrade clean?17:41
TheMadDrizzlelnxslck, update / upgrade / dist-upgrade all state that there is nothing to install / update17:42
TheMadDrizzlelnxslck, I just removed update-manager and update-manager core, cleared apt cache and reinstalled - apt is working for updates, but they're locked to a certain version due to EOL.17:43
tomreynTheMadDrizzle: can you share some output (and commands that created this output)?17:44
tomreynit's not yet clear whichis the very point where you're getting stuck17:44

Maikdude17:46
Maik18.10 is EOL and that's why it isn't working. You need to do a clean install17:46
Maik18.04 to 20.04 isn't a problem17:47
MaikTheMadDrizzle: also if it's a 32bit version it won't work17:47
TheMadDrizzleThere's no way for me to get to 19.04?17:48
Maik32bit isn't supported anymore17:48
MaikTheMadDrizzle: 19.04 is also EOL17:48
tomreyn18.10 to 20.04 should be possible by editing sources.list (but not for 32-bit x86, true)17:48
TheMadDrizzleI hadn't thought of it being 32 bit.17:48
tomreynis it, though?17:49
Maikcheck it to make sure17:49
TheMadDrizzleshould be through uname -a, right?17:49
tomreyndpkg --print-architecture17:49
TheMadDrizzlereturns amd6417:50
tomreynso you can try to upgrade as discussed on the EOLUpgrades page, using the method which involves editing apt sources. the explanation is not great, though, and the upgrade, like your current release, is unsupported.17:51
tomreynif a fresh installation is an option, i'd also prefer that17:51
tomreynhas this system been running during the past two years when it lacked security patches?17:51
TheMadDrizzletomreyn, I've tried following that guide three times editing sources.list to no avail.17:52
TheMadDrizzleNo, it's been put up.  Trying to get just a few games for my little one to play.  It's just lacking ALL updates for probably the past year.17:53
tomreynat least the last two years, since there were none made available for this end-of-life release then.17:54
TheMadDrizzleYeah, a fresh install is what I'm going to do then.17:54
tomreyni think the best approach for you will be backing up and a fresh install of a supported release.17:54
tomreynright17:54
TheMadDrizzleAt this point I've spent longer trying to fix this laptop than it woulda taken for the fresh install.17:56
robertparkerxI want to use a ppa to upgrade php to 7.4 instead of upgrading to 20.04 because I don't know what to do with the sources list. How do I find out what modules/extensions I'm using with 7.2 so I can remember to install them after installing 7.4 with the ppa? Is there anything else I should remember to do as well?18:06

coconutWhen creating an iso with dd from a partition, will the size of it then be chosen by the data on it, or by the size of the partition?19:13
compdoccoconut, hopefully, there's an option to write only the data, otherwise it might not fit19:15
coconutAnd when putting the iso back to the partition, does the partition then has to have the same size as before creating the iso?19:16
compdocI use clonezilla. you might ask in ##linux if no one is here atm19:17
coconutcompdoc, thnx... i am talking about a default if and of with dd.19:18
pokidhas anyone else experienced firefox getting sort of progressively slower and more buggy over the last 2-3 versions? I don't know what it is, basically only using uMatrix, otherwise no other plugins installed.19:24
pavloscoconut: dd will copy partitions, not the size of data. You can have a 100GB partition with just 10GB data, dd will copy 100GB19:31
quadrathoch2pokid for me it got faster (with 15+ addons)19:35
coconutthanks pavlos! :)19:37
Jayx276Hello. How does Ubuntu automatically partition disk. My disk was partitioned by one efi partition(512mb) and rest ext4. I managed to overwrite the first 50mb and lost both partitions - test disk cannot recover partitions. The disk is 120034123776 bytes and 234441648 sectors19:37
compdocthat sounds like how ubuntu partitions disks if you done slect LVM19:40
compdoc*if you dont19:41
Jayx276Yes. No lvm19:41
pavlosJayx276: boot from a live iso, and use gparted to rescue partitions.19:41
Jayx276Ok I will try that19:42
dusthow to increase the swap space in 20.1020:01
Maikdust: if it's a swap file https://linuxhandbook.com/increase-swap-ubuntu/20:06
dustMaik, its the standard 20.10 install... so i think its a file... thx20:07
Maikyes it is  then and you're welcome20:08
GumaTJ-: Hello20:08
dustMaik, its a partition... who does come to the idea to make a swap partition with 980mb? there was no setting about it at installing...20:10
GumaTJ-: I did try your other day suggestion for udev rule to add ACTIOn for my modem. It is not working for me. I can pastebin my rule and you can spot something?20:12
dust /dev/dm-1 partition 980M   0B   -220:15
GumaTJ-: https://pastebin.com/suhn54Yu20:15
Maikdust: eh? If 20.10 was a standard install it should at least be a 2GB swap file on a 4GB RAM system20:18
GumaActually here is updated link https://pastebin.com/Jv91m9Nh20:18
GumaOr maybe anyone else can spot what I am missing in my udev rule?20:19
dustMaik, 8gb ram... i would like to have at least 8gb swap... better 16gb... dunno why i only got only that small swap20:19
dustquestion is how can i change that20:19
TJ-Guma: I'm busy with other things, but your rule looks fragile in that it is matching on something that may not remain constant: KERNELS=="1-2.2*"   --- the usb host/bus/device can and does change20:20
Maikdust: ubuntu automatically sets up a swap file of 2GB even on a system with 8GB20:20
TJ-Guma: For USB best to match on vendor:device IDs20:20
dustMaik, it dosnt... otherwise it would be bigger...20:21
Maikdust: best to google for it on how to increase the partition, there should be guides out there20:21
TJ-Guma: also, in your last pastebin "save it in /dev/udev/rules.d" <--- should be /etc/udev/rules.d20:22
Maikdust: on my system it's 2GB and i have 8GB RAM20:22
GumaTJ-: Ok thank you for pointing KERNELS. Opps aout /dev/ it is /etc :)20:22
TJ-Guma: I thought that last was just a typo :)20:23
TJ-Guma: but... I've seen people do that kind of thing so best to check20:23
jeremy31Guma: like  ATTR{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTR{idProduct}=="1a2b"20:24
GumaTJ-: :) long night and too much or not enough coffee. Not sure at this point20:24
TJ-Guma: I know the feeling - been at it (research + coding in a 'new' field) for 36 hours here20:24
dustMaik, does using lvm make a difference?20:25
dustcan it be that /dev/dm-1 partition 980M   0B   -2 is a file and no partition?20:26
GumaOk so I should not relay on KERNEL and simply use ATTR like jeremy31 pointed out. That is safer? Also what is best documentation about udev I can fully read?20:27
TJ-Guma: "man udev" and http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html20:31
jeremy31Guma: That was actually copied from a udev rule for usb-modeswitch, it would be reliable, just change the ID info to match your device20:31
TJ-Guma: bear in mind web-pages tend to age; that one is 12 years old!20:32
GumaOk tx guys :) Let me read and try few things.20:33

filz0rHello there, I'm not sure if I should be bringing this here but I have no way to report this on the Ubuntu website...21:46
jeremy31filz0r: What is it?21:47
filz0rI was trying to update a fresh install on a ubuntu VM, and I was unable to do so, I thought there was something wrong with my network settings, however after digging arround for a while I found out that the actual repo from where my systems update is actually down21:47
filz0rI was able to update from the american repo, however the pt.archive.ubuntu.com is down21:48
filz0rIf you try to ping it the request will timeout21:49
jeremy31filz0r: Not sure what is going on but I can access it and view it in web browser http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/21:51
coconutfilz0r, you should report this type of problem to #ubuntu-mirror21:51
filz0rOh it seems like the issue is fixed now, I am able to update my package lists21:56
filz0rStrange just 30 min ago I was unable, but seems like someone fixed this issue in the meantime21:56
filz0rThanks for giving me pointers in case this happens again21:56
aleph-So question, will 18LTS have openssh-server 8+ available at all? Getting pinged on some security issues and don't have the time to upgrade yet?22:17
aleph-Seeing that only 7.6 is available when I query all repositories.22:18
jeremy31aleph-: check the changelog to see if the security fixes got backported to 7.622:25
DreamPCSHey, I have a quick question that hopefully you guys can help me with. If I increase the specs on my linux CLOUD machine, will the OS automatically use it? I want to increase the size of the hard drive on my cloud server, I'm wondering if ubuntu will use this extra space or if I need to somehow format the extra space.22:27
TJ-DreamPCS: you'll have to do something, but exactly what depends on the provider and how the virtual machine is set up22:32
aleph-jeremy31: Yeah should have done that first, doy.22:33
geosmileDreamPCS, no errors - apart from that one22:36
geosmileperhaps landscape is broken already?22:37
DreamPCSThanks TJ22:38
DreamPCSqeosmile: It sounds like either the repository wasn't added or the package isn't available in that respository, which would be odd. To be sure, you have to run sudo apt update after you add a new respository, did you do that?22:39
