| DreamPCS | Hey guys, quick question (hopefully). I have an Ubuntu 18.04 server in google cloud, I connect via ssh via a public key that Google knows. I need to make some changes to systemctl but I don't know the password for my account (I'm not sure I ever set one) | 00:10 |
| DreamPCS | So I need to know how to go about setting a password. I tried the passwd command but I need my old password to authenticate | 00:10 |
| DreamPCS | I do not need to authenticate to use sudo however. | 00:10 |
| oerheks | google cloud instances.. not our job, really, but what docs are you using? | 00:11 |
| DreamPCS | I'm not sure what you mean as far as what docs I'm using. It was a vanilla ubuntu server 18.04 install and then I installed docker and docker-compose to run some containers. | 00:12 |
| DreamPCS | I'm thinking maybe I can use sudo to create another admin account, login to that account and use that to change the password for my account. | 00:12 |

| tinloaf | /usr/share/fonts/truetype/hack/Hack-Regular.ttf: Hack:style=Regular` | 10:30 |

| Orcs53 | I see this is the kern.log file "INFO: task Xorg:1989 blocked for more than 604 seconds." | 12:57 |
| Orcs53 | This is the error I can see immediately before the reboot, Additionally, the crash on causes the desktop enviroment to hault. The display is still on, it just does not accept any input, and does not update the display. | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | rpi3 isn't designed to handle full fledged ubuntu OS, also you should ask about your issues in #raspberrypi chat | 13:03 |

| glowdemon1 | Hi; can you add multiple admins to a group with gpasswd? | 16:05 |
| glowdemon1 | if I do gpasswd -A with 2 different users, it will just set it to the user of the last command | 16:05 |
| glowdemon1 | I cant find the answer anywhere | 16:05 |
| GhostOfSamurai | I think gpasswd only lets you do one user at a time | 16:05 |
| glowdemon1 | alright, thanks :) | 16:06 |
| GhostOfSamurai | i think there's a bash trick you can use though if you want a one-liner | 16:06 |
| GhostOfSamurai | one sec | 16:06 |
| GhostOfSamurai | @glowdemon been a while since i used bash religiously, but using curly braces i think runs the command each time for each item separated by a comma. does this work? gpasswd -a {user1,user2} GROUP | 16:10 |
| GhostOfSamurai | sorry, bad mention above. glowdemon1 see my last message | 16:11 |
| leftyfb | GhostOfSamurai: that will not work | 16:11 |
| GhostOfSamurai | leftyfb darn, well thanks for weighing in | 16:12 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: for i in user1 user2 ; do gpasswd -a $i GROUP | 16:12 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: for i in user1 user2 ; do gpasswd -a $i GROUP ; done | 16:12 |
| glowdemon1 | Yeah that will append the users to the group | 16:12 |
| glowdemon1 | But it wont make them admin | 16:12 |
| GhostOfSamurai | glowdemon1 i guess i don't understand the ask here. to give a user elevated privileges you add them to a group with the target perms you want | 16:13 |
| GhostOfSamurai | unless i'm missing something | 16:13 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: ok, so now you're mentioning a separate issue | 16:13 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: what do you mean by adding an "admin" to a group? | 16:14 |
| glowdemon1 | gpasswd -A | 16:14 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: you're either in a group or not. There is no admin in a group(linux group) | 16:14 |
| glowdemon1 | -A, --administrators user,... | 16:14 |
| glowdemon1 | Set the list of administrative users. | 16:14 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: ok, that add users to administrator groups | 16:15 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: so what is the question exactly? | 16:15 |
| glowdemon1 | if it's possible to set multiple admins to a group | 16:15 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: you can add multiple users to a group, yes | 16:15 |
| glowdemon1 | yes but I'm asking about admins | 16:16 |
| glowdemon1 | if I add a user with gpasswd -a, they wont be group admins | 16:16 |
| glowdemon1 | sorry if I'm being vague here, I'm still learning this | 16:16 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: there is no "admins" in a group. You are either in a group or not. You can add multiple users to a group that is considered an admin group (adm, root, etc) | 16:16 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: what exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? Why do you need to add users to an admin group? What isn't working? | 16:17 |
| GhostOfSamurai | i think glowdemon1 is asking how to allow other users without root to manage a membership of a specific group | 16:17 |
| glowdemon1 | It's for my course | 16:17 |
| glowdemon1 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gpasswd.1.html | 16:17 |
| glowdemon1 | yes | 16:17 |
| glowdemon1 | @ghostofsamurai | 16:17 |
| glowdemon1 | kind of | 16:18 |
| glowdemon1 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gpasswd.1.html see the -A flag | 16:18 |
| glowdemon1 | it says the -A flag sets the admin of a group | 16:18 |
| leftyfb | negative | 16:18 |
| GhostOfSamurai | pretty sure it's going to be something in the sudoers file, but i've been in windows land professionally for too long to recall :) | 16:18 |
| Guess59061 | Why when I run `sudo id -ur` as a non-root user (UID 1000), I get a 0? The sudo program has the s flag, so shouldn't RUID remain 1000? | 16:18 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: -A: Set the list of administrative users. | 16:18 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: not admin of a group | 16:18 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: you are either in a group or not. There is no "admin of a group" | 16:19 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: just use -A to add a user to an admin group | 16:19 |
| GhostOfSamurai | i think i have your answer glowdemon1 | 16:23 |
| GhostOfSamurai | gpasswd -A user1,user2,userX GROUPNAME | 16:24 |
| leftyfb | GhostOfSamurai: negative. That is not what -A is for | 16:24 |
| leftyfb | GhostOfSamurai: -A does not take a group as a parameter | 16:24 |
| GhostOfSamurai | This is from the manpage: "System administrators can use the -A option to define group | 16:24 |
| GhostOfSamurai | administrator(s) and the -M option to define members. They have all | 16:24 |
| GhostOfSamurai | rights of group administrators and members." | 16:24 |
| GhostOfSamurai | what does this mean then? | 16:24 |
| glowdemon1 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/gshadow.5.html | 16:24 |
| GhostOfSamurai | what is a "group administrator" then, if not a user who can manage group membership? | 16:25 |
| GhostOfSamurai | my command above does not give a group as a parameter to -A, it gives a list of users for that option | 16:25 |
| glowdemon1 | yes my lecturer said a group admin is a person who can manage a group as well | 16:25 |
| glowdemon1 | eg: add members | 16:25 |
| GhostOfSamurai | leftyfb are you confusing -A with -a? they are different options | 16:26 |
| glowdemon1 | i'm being really confused now because gshadow says the same | 16:26 |
| glowdemon1 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/gshadow.5.html > search for "administrators" | 16:26 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: a "group admin" is a user who is added to a group that has rights to modify group settings | 16:26 |
| glowdemon1 | yes but the group admin doesnt have to be a member | 16:26 |
| leftyfb | glowdemon1: sort of. The group created to admin another group will need to be added to the original group | 16:27 |
| glowdemon1 | I see | 16:27 |
| glowdemon1 | so I assume you can make another group then and add that group with gpasswd -A | 16:28 |
| glowdemon1 | or the comma seperate list like @GhostOfSamurai said (I didnt manage to test this yet but I will :)) | 16:28 |
| glowdemon1 | actually it has to be a user | 16:29 |
| glowdemon1 | Sorry I have to go for 30mins. I'll be back. I think my question is answered here but if anyone wants to throw in something else, feel free to :) | 16:30 |
| glowdemon1 | Thanks again | 16:30 |
| GhostOfSamurai | not sure how correct that is. you can add groups as members to another group, though the manpage only mentions users. not sure if that extends to group admins though | 16:30 |
| glowdemon1 | I just tried to add a group with -A and that doesnt work fyi | 16:30 |
| glowdemon1 | but brb now | 16:31 |

| GhostOfSamurai | ThinkT510 i think i stumbled onto the reason, and a possible solution. seems the screensaver doesn't work with lightdm, but I thought 20.04 was using gnome3 (i'm using lightdm now). seems i need to install or reconfigure gdm3 and log in with that instead | 16:51 |

| tomreyn | coconut: so it must be something else. | 18:00 |
| ThinkT510 | GhostOfSamurai: glad you solved it | 18:01 |
| coconut | yeah i guess, but i deleted the whole .config directory, so that can not be it i assume. | 18:01 |
| ashwin2882 | Thanks tomreyn for the insight | 18:02 |

| octav1a | Hello, using ubuntu 20.04 on the cloud, I am using the cloud-provider's networking panel to configure firewall rules to my liking, but I've noticed with the default installation, there seem to be some IPtables rules configured which block traffic on my subnet. I wish to just completely open the software firewall and only use the cloud provider's rules. What is the most elegant way to do this and make sure it is still allowing all traffic on reboot, too? | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | you could just uninstall iptables + ufw | 18:40 |
| tomreyn | i'm assuming that what you're configuring on the cloud providers' web panel is a network firewall, not rulesets which are applied to the ubuntu VM's iptables based firewall. | 18:42 |
| sookablyat | people anybody here on Ubuntu Muslim Edition? | 18:45 |

| ubottu | sookablyat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:45 |

| OnkelBlade | Hi folks. How can I prepare installation flash usb drive on ubuntu 20.04? You see, I've just tried UNetBootin, and it copied all the files, but the drive is not deteced on the target PC as bootable. | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | usb-creator-gtk | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | alternatively, on any OS, balena etcher | 18:48 |
| OnkelBlade | trying... | 18:49 |
| OnkelBlade | tomreyn: yeah, it worked! huh. Weird that Unetbootin, which has been helping all these years doesn't work anymore | 18:51 |
| octav1a | tomreyn: thank you for the suggestion. Just to verify, you mean that if the iptables and ufw packages are uninstalled, the services will automatically end and all traffic will be allowed? | 18:52 |
| sookablyat | can somebody help me develop a ubuntu flavored new distro? | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | octav1a: no host firewall should be active then. whatever policies and rules you apply on the network firewall will still apply, of course. | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | sookablyat: that's not really an ubuntu support question either. try -offtopic maybe | 18:54 |
| octav1a | Thank you for the recommendation, that is how I intended it to work. | 18:54 |
| sookablyat | octav1a, are you talking to me? | 18:56 |
| octav1a | sookablyat: uhh, no, hehe, I was just acknowledging tomreyn :3 | 18:56 |
| sookablyat | oh ok | 18:57 |
| Raythonic | Wanted to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10, but the do-release-upgrade breaks because of what looks like a python compatibility issue. Anyone else run into this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1901812? | 19:20 |

| baskak | Hi! I dug out my old Ubuntu installation, and cloned it onto a machine I use (Dell Precision T3600) and it seemed to run OK. I attempted the LTS-to-LTS upgrade route, which for a moment worked OK, but now I'm stuck in emergency mode. I'm at 16.04 LTS. I'd like to rectify the problem and upgrade further | 19:47 |
| tomreyn | i think we're fine with this | 19:49 |
| Crashbit | Hi! I know wireguard is not a vpn, but on Arch, the AUR repository I found network-manager-wireguard. A GUI to configure wireguard and activate and deactivate. I want to know if exist a GUI to do the same with Ubuntu | 19:51 |
| Crashbit | I know networkmanager versión >1.6 support wireguard, but I can't know if exist a GUI | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | Crashbit: the author of the wireguard gnome configuration GUI provides packages for ubuntu 20.04 LTS at this (unsupported, here) PPA https://launchpad.net/~meiser79/+archive/ubuntu/focal | 19:57 |

| Raythonic | Thanks. N.B. this upgrade error is not unique to PopOS, thus why I was asking if anyone else here experienced it. I was looking for what others may have tried or learned. | 20:00 |
| rndd | hi everyone! newbe question. i installed ubuntu server with docker option. and docker works. but "systemctl status docker" returns error. am i doing it wrong? | 20:14 |
| tomreyn | is it a snap? | 20:15 |
| rndd | tomreyn, as i see, yes | 20:16 |
| tomreyn | then, i assume, there is no systemd service management. but i din't really know. | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | there's also #ubuntu-server | 20:17 |
| rndd | tomreyn: ohhhh, i found | 20:19 |
| rndd | snap services docker.dockerd | 20:19 |
| rndd | damn, next time will install this using apt-get | 20:19 |

| giaco | I've an old system with dual gpu each with 2 dvi outputs, for a total of 4. I've attached it to a 4 mount display wall, and I've launched xorg on nouveau on it to get a single desktop made of 4 displays and I've launched the 4 web pages I need to monitor fullscreen on each one. Everything seemed ok at first, but after a few days the system hangs | 20:41 |
| leftyfb | baskak: if this was an old system you just "dug out", why not just reinstall from scratch? It's cleaner, easier, quicker and you'll have less issues. | 20:57 |
| OnkelBlade | Hi folks. What file can I use to run xrandr on 20.04? | 21:01 |
| OnkelBlade | Actually let me start for the very beginning: my nvidia 450 driver (and 455 as well) along with Xorg decided to fake DPPI | 21:02 |
| OnkelBlade | dpi | 21:02 |
| OnkelBlade | So I need somehow to tell them: no way guys, gimme back my 96 | 21:02 |
| OnkelBlade | So what is the way to do that really? It seems to be difficult nowadays | 21:03 |
| oerheks | an ordinairy xorg.conf most likely | 21:05 |
| oerheks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 21:05 |
| OnkelBlade | oerheks: wow, how so? We should even think about that file. We shouldn't call it by its name | 21:06 |
| OnkelBlade | Everything now is done _automatically_ | 21:06 |
| OnkelBlade | shouldn't* | 21:06 |
| donavan01 | anyone gotten a surface pro to work with ubuntu specifically the pen and touch pad | 21:32 |
| oerheks | surface pro needs a tweaked kernel, AFAIK.. and there are many surface versions | 21:34 |
| oerheks | https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup | 21:35 |
| donavan01 | yeah I have a 7 so its going to be a tough on since its newer im sure... so its a kernel issue and not just a driver | 21:35 |
| oerheks | Touch screen. | 21:37 |
| oerheks | IPTS firmware pending | 21:37 |
| oerheks | https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/592 | 21:38 |
| oerheks | yes, probably too new | 21:38 |
| donavan01 | well the first how to has dead links for debian so thats great | 21:39 |
| donavan01 | yeah just read what you sent seems like I can never get a device that just plays nice with linux right out of the box I figured these would be prime linux machine guess I have to wait a while | 21:45 |

| pillager86 | I tried reinstalling | 21:59 |
| JayDoubleu | So, I got the new AMD RX6800 card, Windows 10 after installing the drivers works fine with proper resolution but I cannot get it to work on Ubuntu. Tried 20.04 and 20.10. At boot the driver seems to go into nomodeset and displays low resolution. When I run lshw -c video it shows that device is unclaimed. When I manually modprobe the amdgpu and reconnect the displayport it doesnt bring up display. Any idea ? I tried | 22:00 |
| JayDoubleu | the newest mesa drivers from PPA, I also tried the native AMD driver ( this one fails on amdgpu-dkms but when I install it with --no-dkms flag it lets it install but it still doesnt fix the resolution) | 22:00 |
| oerheks | pillager86, tried the snap version? | 22:01 |
| pillager86 | hmm | 22:01 |
| oerheks | 1.19 https://snapcraft.io/dub | 22:01 |
| pillager86 | I fixed it by uninstalling dmd and dub and installing the deb file from DMD's website | 22:06 |
| pillager86 | I wanted the latest version anyway | 22:06 |

| other_rick | The module paramameter 'macaddr' its one way for avoid that | 22:33 |
