| Projectui | Anyone active? Have question about FakeRaid and getting the volume to become available to the OS. | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | Projectui: irc works best with specific questions | 00:13 |
| sarnold | Projectui: that said, it's probably worth skipping 'fake raid' things and just using mdadm / lvm / zfs / btrfs (skip btrfs raid5/6 things) instead | 00:13 |
| Projectui | sarnold: I get that, but lately I've asked in other channels and have yet to get replies. Thought I would see if anyone was awake before a 2 week wait. | 00:13 |
| sarnold | Projectui: yeah, I can understand that | 00:14 |
| sarnold | Projectui: but fakeraid isn't used much in the linux world, so it could ujust be no one knew :) | 00:14 |
| Projectui | I'll just leave this here: I set up EZRaid. dual 8tb platters in a Raid 1. I used dmraid to activate it. It shows as 2 drives on with one volume label. I can't figure out how to prepare the partition using parted to get the drive in a "windows" friendly format so I can also use those drives as a media host for my home network. | 00:15 |
| Projectui | I saw fakeraid as a term in my google searches. not sure if it's truly applicable in my instance. | 00:16 |
| matsaman | sounds like a good way to lose data | 00:17 |
| Projectui | matsaman: how is that? | 00:17 |
| sarnold | ah, if this is for use in windows instead of linux, you should probably ask in a windows forum :) | 00:17 |
| Projectui | um.. .this is Ubuntu 20.04 | 00:19 |
| Projectui | the drives will be shared to a network so windows machines can access it | 00:20 |
| Projectui | maybe I'm thinking about the format wrong | 00:20 |
| Projectui | the OS is going to be hosting the drive, and translating where the data goes | 00:20 |
| Projectui | but I still need to get the drive partitioned and formatted. | 00:20 |
| matsaman | seems like you're trying to use RAID as a solution to having a second copy of your data | 00:21 |
| elias_a | Projectui: What is your use case? File server? | 00:21 |
| matsaman | but the purpose of RAID is to have data be more accessible by however many copies you have of it, and not to actually keep all those copies around | 00:21 |
| Projectui | well.. this box is a multi-tasking rig. Large array for file storage, smaller nvme drive for game hosting and websites. | 00:22 |
| matsaman | you can mirror data with RAID, but that's not its purpose | 00:22 |
| elias_a | Projectui: So RAID to be on the safer side? | 00:23 |
| Projectui | yeah. | 00:23 |
| Projectui | I'll probably end up sticking another 8tb drive back home so I can have an off-site copy | 00:24 |
| elias_a | Projectui: If the data and/or services are of value, I'd go for a real RAID setup. | 00:24 |
| elias_a | Projectui: But as matsaman said RAID is meant for mirroring inside a disk array. | 00:26 |
| Projectui | I understand raid. I am mirroring my 2 drives. Is the ezraid functionality of my motherobard not considered actual raid? | 00:27 |
| elias_a | Projectui: To be honest I do not know about ezraid. Probably someone else knows the answer. | 00:28 |
| === BalooRJ is now known as Baloo | ||
| === Baloo is now known as BalooRJ | ||
| Projectui | ok. lets try this. if someone has a Raid 1 setup. how do they parition the drives to be accessable by ubuntu? imagine the drives are detected, and activated? What would the next step be? | 00:30 |
| elias_a | Projectui: This guide might be of interest: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 00:34 |
| elias_a | That is quite old though... | 00:35 |
| Projectui | I found something similar, and I'm going to work through it for a moment | 00:37 |
| elias_a | Projectui: Good luck! I'll hit the bed now. :) | 00:38 |
| derpadmin | Projectui, ezraid will probaby create an hardware and present 1 disk to ubuntu | 00:38 |
| derpadmin | *an hardware raid | 00:39 |
| derpadmin | not sure how easy the recovery will be if the mobo dies | 00:39 |
| sarnold | if you use zfs it's piece of cake, pop drives into another computer and run zpool import and you're online again | 00:40 |
| sarnold | I've not used the others myself so I can't give as easy advice :) | 00:40 |
| Projectui | derpadmin: this is stuff like family photos and such. having an offsite backup should be ok versus going full enterprise hardware raid. | 00:42 |
| sarnold | raid gives you time to replace a harddrive; backups save you from fire or accidental deletes or ransomware | 00:43 |
| derpadmin | raid != backup | 00:43 |
| derpadmin | like sarnold said... | 00:44 |
| Projectui | then what is raid 10 used for? | 00:44 |
| Projectui | sorry | 00:44 |
| derpadmin | mirroring + speed | 00:44 |
| Projectui | didn't have my thought complete | 00:44 |
| Projectui | I want the raid 1 here at the house so I can host files with a little safety. If anything does happen to one of the drives, I can bring it back up. if anything happens to the server, say blows up, or house implodes, I have the backup. | 00:46 |
| derpadmin | then you are all set | 00:46 |
| TxJorge | Hi, i'm trying to set up my /home directory on a separate drive from my main os install. In the partition editor of the installer, I see 3 existing partitions on my drive, sda1 which is type fat32 and size 536MB, sda2 which is type efi and size 537MB, and sda5 which is type ext4 and size 67GB. Anyone know what the fat32 partition is used for? This drive previously had ubuntu installed. | 00:46 |
| derpadmin | I usually preach the 3-2-1 method for backup | 00:46 |
| derpadmin | it is hard to go wrong with that one | 00:47 |
| derpadmin | 3 copies, 2 different medias, 1 offsite location | 00:47 |
| sarnold | TxJorge: hmm, normally I'd have guessed the fat32 partition *is* the EFI partition.. | 00:50 |
| Guest_63 | hi all, hoping to get some help with an issue I'm having | 01:09 |
| Guest_63 | I have an Ubuntu 20.10 install with full disk encryption turned on... got a new machine and tried to put the drive in there, seems like that hosed something | 01:09 |
| Guest_63 | in my boot messages I now get things like "timed out waiting for the device /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid>..." | 01:10 |
| === ijohnson|lunch is now known as ijohnson | ||
| Guest_63 | and and things like "dependency failed for..." and a reference to some partition | 01:11 |
| Guest_63 | this happens in the new box and also in the old box | 01:12 |
| Guest_63 | I suspect it's some bootloader / uefi / bios thing, but not sure... would appreciate any suggestions | 01:12 |
| sarnold | Guest_63: if you boot to a live instance (usb stick), does the drive show up at all? | 01:16 |
| Guest_63 | @sarnold yes it does | 01:16 |
| sarnold | Guest_63: can you unlock it there? | 01:16 |
| Guest_63 | I'm not sure, I've done it before but forgot how to do the luks stuff in the live cd, also unsure what to do to fix | 01:17 |
| Guest_63 | it's strange actually, it seems like I can view folders on the drive without entering in decryption pw, which shouldn't be possible? perhaps I only encrypted /home (thinking face) | 01:18 |
| Guest_63 | but yes, any suggestions on how to fix would be great, even pointing me to some docs | 01:19 |
| sarnold | Guest_63: it's been a year or so since I've done any luks stuff by hand.. here's the cryptsetup page https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/groovy/man8/cryptsetup.8.html | 01:21 |
| sarnold | sheesh, there's no way to just ask for 'status' without a name. :/ | 01:23 |
| Guest_63 | thanks for the doc, will see how far that gets me | 01:27 |
| Guest_63 | do you know what I should do with cryptsetup to fix my install? | 01:28 |
| sarnold | I don't :/ I'm just curious if the drive unlocks as expected, to rule out eg drive data changes | 01:28 |
| Guest_63 | oh gotcha | 01:29 |

| EnchanterTim | I need to patch this function in KDE. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 | 03:53 |
| EnchanterTim | I have tried apt-file search 'plasmaquick/dialog.cpp' but I can't find it | 03:54 |
| EnchanterTim | Which ubunt package contains this file, so that I may patch it and rebuild it | 03:54 |
| sarnold | apt-file only searches binary packages, not sources | 03:54 |
| EnchanterTim | Oh | 03:54 |
| sarnold | hold on a second | 03:54 |
| EnchanterTim | Take your time | 03:54 |
| sarnold | EnchanterTim: it's in the plasma-framework source package | 03:55 |
| EnchanterTim | how did you find out? | 03:55 |
| sarnold | EnchanterTim: I've got the entire archive unpacked locally | 03:56 |
| sarnold | EnchanterTim: combined with https://plocate.sesse.net/ it's pretty quick to answer these kinds of questions | 03:56 |
| EnchanterTim | Ok | 03:57 |
| EnchanterTim | Nice | 03:57 |
| sarnold | EnchanterTim: you could also search for the contents on the debian code search tool, it's kinda close: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=__plasma_frameSvg | 03:57 |
| sarnold | EnchanterTim: if you search for Dialog::Dialog, you'll drown in results, so sometimes you've got to try for something less common | 03:58 |

| Guest20 | Hi there, when i create a user and switch to the newly created user and then type passwd | 04:55 |
| Guest20 | it says enter the current password | 04:55 |
| Guest20 | what would be the current password, when a user gets created - no password is set | 04:55 |
| imbezol | Guest20: if you didn't set a password then the user account will be locked | 05:05 |
| imbezol | you need to set a password using the root account or sudo | 05:05 |
| imbezol | echo "username:password" | chpasswd | 05:06 |
| imbezol | or | 05:07 |
| imbezol | echo "username:password" | sudo chpasswd | 05:07 |
| EnchanterTim | YES! | 05:37 |
| EnchanterTim | IT WORKS! | 05:37 |
| EnchanterTim | OMG Xmonad plus Plasma now works again! Ahh boy. That was the reason I was stuck on KDE of 18.04 | 05:38 |
| EnchanterTim | Nothing to patch, I just reverted the two mentioned functions from the kde commit that broke Xmonad functionality. | 05:39 |
| EnchanterTim | That is a KDE bugfix for their own panel stuff/dialog in new Qt 5.10 api so I can't expect them to revert it to fix solely for xmonad | 05:39 |
| EnchanterTim | anyway, thanks for your help. | 05:39 |
| Guest20 | lets say usera created a file inside a dir with stick bit set, now if userb tries to delete the file created by usera with sudo . the file gets deleted | 05:43 |

| hackers | samuelrajan747: why do you need wayland to rn swayVM? | 07:46 |
| hackers | ah there is this xwayland - Xwayland X server | 07:47 |
| hackers | so ubuntu doesn't use Xorg or X11? | 07:47 |
| hackers | it uses wayland instead | 07:47 |
| hackers | ? | 07:47 |
| samuelrajan747 | sway can't run in X | 07:48 |
| samuelrajan747 | it doesn't need xOrg | 07:48 |
| hackers | so it's the x windows system | 07:49 |
| samuelrajan747 | you don't need xinit to run sway | 07:49 |
| hackers | and I can install wayland on ubuntu-server | 07:50 |
| samuelrajan747 | if you want to run apps that only run in X under sway, you need xwayland (which includes xserver) | 07:50 |
| samuelrajan747 | you must be able to install/uninstall anything in anything | 07:51 |

| locsmif_work | k_sze: I wrote a script.. http://paste.debian.net/hidden/3a3170cb/ .. does this mean I shouldn't have because I wrote it for a non-existing system? | 08:55 |

| micmac | Hi, what would you advise for on the fly compression of file/folders in ubuntu ? | 09:06 |
| micmac | idealy i would like something that I can mount on an existing ext4 drive like /mydrive/some_compressed_path | 09:07 |
| micmac | also I need it to be readable and writable of course | 09:07 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: seems like quite the ask | 09:08 |
| micmac | is it ? | 09:08 |
| k_sze | locsmif_work, there are a few different ways, depending on what you want to run and what desktop environment you are using. I'm not an expert in the matter though. | 09:08 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: you don't want a filesystem with transparent compression? | 09:08 |
| k_sze | e.g. there's this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8290652/432483 | 09:08 |
| micmac | I've seen things like FUSE or btrfs while googling but I thought someone knew better here | 09:08 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: if the size can be fized, you use a loop mount | 09:09 |
| locsmif_work | fixed* | 09:09 |
| micmac | locsmif_work: well I have a drive that's almost full already, so I wouldn't want to move all the file then reformat it with a new fs | 09:09 |
| micmac | locsmif_work: ok so creating like a virtual partition with a compressed fs | 09:10 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: it's a fixed size file which you partition like any other, assign a filesystem to (one that supports compression) and then mount. | 09:11 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368182/create-a-file-thats-treated-like-a-btrfs-file-system | 09:12 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: but the only surefire way to get rid of your problem is to copy to a new disk with btrfs, even if you could just borrow one temporarily | 09:12 |
| micmac | ok thanks | 09:12 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: with btrfs, you even have deduplication | 09:13 |
| locsmif_work | https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Deduplication | 09:13 |
| locsmif_work | micmac: in a sense, you could conceivably free up space by moving stuff you don't use much to the loop mount, provided you aim for the perfect static loop file size, but it seems like whatever you do, you keep moving stuff about | 09:14 |

| crst | Hi, where can I see on 20.04 why my port is blocked to the outside? ufw and firewalld are not running. | 11:35 |
| BlueEagle | crst: maybe `sudo iptables --list` can shed some light on it? | 11:41 |
| BlueEagle | crst: Also, are all ports blocked? | 11:41 |
| crst | BlueEagle: Not 100% sure if all ports are blocked but this is one node of a kubernetes cluster and something's messing with the access. Getting really complicated here. Atm I wanted to check if the issue arises from the server itself. | 11:55 |

| DarkTrick | Where can I get libgnomeui-2 for ubuntu? | 13:00 |
| jaydemir | new install based on Ubuntu 20.04, trying to ssh via hostname, doesn't work, only works by IP. "Could not resolve hostname..." Is there a command I can run to refresh whatever DNS settings? I'm able to connect to this host on other machines. | 13:03 |
| jaydemir | looking for a command that grabs all the hostnames off my local network so I dont have to keep using IP addresses when I ssh into other machines. Does anything like this exist? | 13:14 |
| jpds | jaydemir: mDNS is what you want | 13:17 |
| jaydemir | thank you trying that now | 13:19 |
| jpds | It's actually something done at a router-level, rather than at the host though | 13:20 |
| jaydemir | I get that, but I have a windows partition that has no problem running ssh to the hostname in the powershell | 13:20 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: is there a DNS in your local network or do you just connect to a router -> cable modem -> Internet? | 13:21 |
| jaydemir | If I'm not mistaken I even have an Ubuntu based distro on another machine that works just fine too | 13:21 |
| jaydemir | I have a 2-in-1 modem/router that connects to the internet | 13:22 |
| jpds | jaydemir: So your new box is probably using the wrong DNS server? | 13:22 |
| jpds | We have no way of knowing how your network is set up | 13:22 |
| jaydemir | I can't imagine why it's set to autmoatic | 13:22 |
| jaydemir | like it's a fresh install of FerenOS | 13:22 |
| jaydemir | everything is dead simple | 13:23 |
| jaydemir | I guess the only difference is I swapped routers, the old one's default gateway was 192.168.1.1 and this one is 192.168.0.1. Could that affect anything? | 13:23 |
| jpds | Yes | 13:24 |
| jpds | Your router is the one doing the DNS | 13:24 |
| jaydemir | but if the PC's network settings are set to "automatic" it should in theory just be using the correct DNS server regardless shouldn't it? | 13:24 |
| jaydemir | so I'm diving into my router and it is set to "get (DNS Address) automatically from ISP" | 13:26 |
| jpds | That's not what you're looking for, that's for DNS outside of your network | 13:27 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: systemd-resolve --status | grep DNS will list the DNS a host is using | 13:27 |
| jaydemir | best I can figure out is the host is using the same DNS IP as the router. I'm at a loss | 13:40 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: say your router is 192.168.0.1, it provides dhchp to the local netowkr. hostA gets 192.168.0.10, hostB gets 192.168.0.11. You can ping by ip but not by name. Is this correct? | 13:42 |
| jaydemir | yep exactly | 13:44 |
| jaydemir | but thats only the case on my phone and this PC I'm using. I have a laptop with a win/elementary dual boot that works just fine via hostname | 13:44 |
| jaydemir | my phone used to connect via hostname but when I swapped my router (going from 192.168.1.1 to ...0.1) I lost that ability and had to use the IP instead | 13:45 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: which router do you have, before/after swap? | 13:47 |
| jaydemir | before I had an ISP provided router, can't remember what it was. Now I'm using a Netgear nighthawk ac1900 | 13:49 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: the netgear has a DNS section under Internet. What DNS (primary,secondary) have you provided? | 13:55 |
| jaydemir | its set to auto, I'm assuming it's getting them from the ISP | 13:57 |
| jaydemir | yeah I just looked up the address, it's my ISP | 13:58 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: these are so that when you type google.com, it finds the ip and resolves to the google site. We are talking about your internal local resolution between hostA and hostB | 13:58 |
| jaydemir | so you're saying there should be a second DNS option somewhere | 13:59 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: your router may not be able to locally resolve. jpds mentioned mDNS. on hostA, sudo systemd-resolve --set-mdns=yes --interface=the interface you have, enp0s2, wlan0, ... | 14:02 |
| pavlos | jaydemir: read this, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/459991/how-to-configure-systemd-resolved-for-mdns-multicast-dns-on-local-network | 14:04 |

| jhave | So 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 is fine | 14:37 |
| leftyfb | jhave: that means your pihole isn't working | 14:37 |

| lotuspsychje | Legousk: can we see a dmesg of your system in a pastebin please? | 18:42 |
| mefistofeles | conr: commonly, those protocols that are proprietary and exclusive to some OS are optimized for them, so they use their local libraries and hardware for rendering, instead of transmitting bitmap with all the information, that can result in better latency | 18:42 |
| conr | mefistofeles: so you're point is x2go is better optimized? | 18:44 |

| octav1a | The reason i'm doing this is because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gridengine/+bug/1774302 , of which there is only a hacky 'copy over these library files' solution. | 19:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1774302 in gridengine (Ubuntu) "package gridengine-master 8.1.9+dfsg-7build1 failed to install/upgrade: installed gridengine-master package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 139" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 19:16 |
| sarnold | octav1a: would it be easier to upgrade to focal and get the newer gridengine that way, rather than maintain a frankensystem? | 19:19 |
| jwhitmore | Thunderbird - Sorry I'm trying to remotely get a family member sorted with editing the existing email account configuration on their Thunderbird application. There's no longer a menu bar across the top of an application so there's no apparent way to edit the configuration. The very top "thunderbird" label just offers the "quit" option, and the "burger" menu option on the top right of the interface offers options on how to view emails, but no config | 19:20 |
| jwhitmore | options. I got them to send me a picture and I'm none the wiser. Is the best way to edit the configuration to just edit the config files? | 19:20 |
| octav1a | sarnold: I tried focal first, and the same segfault bug is STILL in the main ubuntu repos (since 16.04) | 19:21 |
| octav1a | so it's either debs or manual compile, I think | 19:21 |
| sarnold | jwhitmore: I've never used thunderbird, but at least firefox lets you bring up the menu with alt+f (to bring up File) and then you can see the menu to interact with it | 19:21 |
| sarnold | octav1a: oh. bummer. | 19:21 |
| orogor | how do i setup dual boot if i have an efi partition ? would ubuntu natively support it or would it break with each update ? | 19:22 |
| sarnold | octav1a: usually pinning problems are made visible by running "apt policy" or "apt policy <packagename>" until you spot something | 19:22 |
| orogor | and i mean dual two ubuntu | 19:22 |
| EriC^^ | orogor: yes ubuntu supports efi, itll use your efi partition in the installation | 19:23 |
| jwhitmore | sarnold, alf+f thanks I'll try that. Just looking at this picture and the email accounts are in a pain on the LHS so perhpas it's a right click. I'll try those | 19:23 |
| orogor | EriC^^, /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg makes reference to a single partition | 19:23 |
| orogor | EriC^^, i am looking for dual booting two ubuntu , i guess i was not clear | 19:24 |
| EriC^^ | orogor: you can use 1 grub for both, they'll both show up in the grub menu | 19:26 |
| octav1a | sarnold: Thank you for the suggestion. It seems that the priority from /etc/apt/preferences.d/debian is not being applied properly? I see something like this: https://bpa.st/YEAQ | 19:26 |
| octav1a | What is the significance of the two numbers 500/1000 and 500/10 ? | 19:27 |
| sarnold | octav1a: hmm, it says Candidate: <debian version> | 19:28 |
| sarnold | octav1a: would this be fixed by running sudo apt install -f ? | 19:28 |
| octav1a | I can install the debian one by running apt with "-t stretch" , but if I leave that out it uses the bionic one | 19:29 |
| octav1a | in between these I am purging, so nothing need be fixed. | 19:29 |
| octav1a | ok actually now it's working without -t | 19:30 |
| octav1a | ??? | 19:30 |
| octav1a | I will start from scratch and see why | 19:31 |

| Franciman | Hi, I have an ubuntu oem | 22:39 |
| Franciman | is there a way to retrieve a diff file showing all the patches applied to the pure kernel to get the ubuntu oem? | 22:39 |
| jpds | Not unless you have the source package for that kernel | 22:40 |
| Franciman | if not, I should call my vendor, right? | 22:40 |
| Franciman | and if I do? | 22:40 |
| jpds | Yeah, you'd have to ask them for it | 22:41 |
| entourage | after I've installed fish how do I set fish as the default shell? | 22:43 |
| Franciman | you can use the chsh command | 22:43 |
| sarnold | Franciman: does apt policy report where you get the kernel from? perhaps they've packaged sources alongside the binaries to satisfy gpl obligations, in which case an apt-get source on the package name may do the job | 22:47 |
| Franciman | let me try, I don't know, I'm new to this | 22:48 |
| Franciman | I just want to get back to debian, with all the ubuntu patches :P | 22:48 |
| Franciman | there is something in the ath10k drivers that makes it work | 22:48 |
