| pi0 | anyone here use gsconnect with ubuntu 20.04 | 02:12 |

| pi0 | also what is the name of the file explorer for gnome | 02:12 |
| pi0 | i installed the minimal version of ubuntu 20.04 | 02:12 |
| pi0 | and i do not get the folder icon | 02:12 |
| sarnold | is that nautilus? | 02:14 |
| oerheks | seriously, no nautilus with minimal install? | 02:22 |
| pi0 | does nautilus mean full install? | 02:23 |
| pi0 | i mean if i were to install nautilus | 02:24 |
| sarnold | ubuntu-minimal doesn't look like it includes any graphical anything https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/br4TzP4hQN/ | 02:25 |
| oerheks | that would be the mini iso without selection? | 02:27 |
| oerheks | not the regular desktop, with minimal option, as i presume | 02:28 |
| oerheks | why would anyone take a bare install, and try gsconnect :-D | 02:29 |
| sarnold | ah, is there a 'minimal' thing in the installer that's unrelated to the ubuntu-minimal package? that's not at all confusing :) | 02:29 |
| oerheks | or: yes, nautilus pulls in gnome-desktop | 02:32 |
| pi0 | the bare install is on a vm | 02:37 |
| pi0 | with limited resources | 02:38 |
| pi0 | my actual desktop is ubuntu full | 02:38 |
| pi0 | oerheks: but not sure what the issue is with my ubuntu 20.04 and gsconnect | 02:41 |
| pi0 | have you used gsconnect before? | 02:41 |
| sarnold | hmmm, someone was asking about gsconnect the other day, and this url came up https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230155/ubuntu-20-04-gsconnect | 02:45 |
| sarnold | the last answer looks potentially most useful | 02:45 |

| pi0 | sarnold: are you on discord? | 02:58 |
| sarnold | pi0: is that the chat thing or the forum thing? | 03:00 |
| pi0 | the chat app with screenshare in all | 03:06 |
| pi0 | just trying to trouble shoot this gsconnect issue :/ | 03:06 |
| sarnold | ah, no, no chat thing | 03:09 |
| pi0 | sarnold: i ran a few commands from the link you provided however i got these new programms installed and now sure how to remove them | 03:19 |
| pi0 | https://awwapp.com/b/ujokztoiisud6/ | 03:19 |
| pi0 | what is the best method to search for installed apps and complete purge them out | 03:19 |
| sarnold | dpkg -l | grep '^ii' will show you what you have installed | 03:19 |
| sarnold | apt purge packagename will remove it | 03:19 |
| pi0 | thank you kindly | 03:22 |
| pi0 | in regards to minicom | 03:25 |
| pi0 | from that link, if the .desktop icon is not located in ./local/share/applications | 03:25 |
| pi0 | where else can it be? | 03:25 |
| sarnold | /usr/share/applications/minicom.desktop | 03:25 |
| sarnold | I found that with apt-file search minicom.desktop -- I got lucky that the name was logical :) | 03:26 |
| pi0 | oh that is how you find files | 03:27 |
| pi0 | apt-file | 03:27 |
| pi0 | it will searh the whole fs | 03:27 |
| sarnold | no | 03:27 |
| sarnold | it searches a database of packages and the files that the packages say they own | 03:27 |
| sarnold | the ubuntu repositories publish a file saying which packages own which files, and apt-file can download that database and search it easily | 03:28 |
| sarnold | if you want to search the whole filesystem, there's a few choices for that -- the mlocate package builds an index every day that you can search with 'locate', and the findutils package provides a 'find' command that will search whichever directories and children you specify for whatever criteria you specify | 03:29 |
| sarnold | (there's also a newer plocate command that's a milliion times better than locate, but it probably isn't in any ubuntu yet; and there's an fd command that should be faster than the find command, but it may also not be in ubuntu yet) | 03:30 |
| pi0 | nice! | 03:36 |
| pi0 | i have an application called imagemagick how do i know what other programs rely on this app to run successfully | 03:36 |
| sarnold | apt purge -s imagemagick -- the -s asks to simulate removing it | 03:39 |
| sarnold | that'll only show packages known to apt to Depend: on imagemagick though -- any applications you may have installed outside of apt won't show up there | 03:39 |
| jpmh | I have read reports of issues with libgcrypyt that a user can gain root privs using gpg - how is this possible given that gpg does not have the setuid bit set | 03:55 |
| sarnold | jpmh: my *guess* is that whoever said this was thinking of supplying malicious apt repository contents and then exploiting the gpgv process that is run as part of apt update or apt upgrade commands | 03:59 |
| jpmh | sarnold: that does not fit with what I'm reading. They say that with libgcrypt 1,9.1 a carefully crafted gpg message can exploit this | 04:01 |
| sarnold | jpmh: note that this is a GPG "message": http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/InRelease | 04:02 |
| jpmh | sarnold: OK - and how does such a message cause priv escalation if gpg does not have setuid | 04:03 |
| sarnold | jpmh: because unattended-upgrades runs as root; or sudo apt update runs as root | 04:08 |
| jpmh | sarnold: but all reports say that it is dectypting a specially crafted message | 04:09 |
| sarnold | jpmh: sure; an evil person could construct such a message, set up a web server on a cloud instance somewhere cheap, then perform DNS hijacking at a coffee shop or something to cause an ubuntu laptop to talk to *their* web server | 04:10 |
| jpmh | sarnold: I'm missing what you are siggesting here - how can gpg grant privs if it does not have setuid | 04:11 |
| sarnold | jpmh: ubuntu installs the unattended-upgrades package by default -- this run apt get update basically every night. as root. apt runs gpgv to verify the package lists. apt *may* use the _apt user account for this task, I'm not sure. If apt uses _apt, then the exploit would need to get gpgv to emit "OK". If apt doesn't use the _apt account for verifying the lists, then it'll use the root account | 04:15 |
| sarnold | jpmh: I've got to run -- if there's still a disconnect somewhere, try asking in #ubuntu-hardened, there's a chance someone else may be around | 04:17 |
| sarnold | jpmh: have fun :) | 04:17 |
| jpmh | sarnold: TY | 04:18 |
| vysty | I've built a new computer and installed Ubuntu 20.04. My previous machine is running Ubuntu 18.04. What is the best way to transfer my files and settings from the old to new computer? | 04:21 |
| deltab | vysty: if your user id is the same on both systems, then transferring the files on disk should be straightforward, assuming they're stored under /home or dedicated directories | 04:27 |
| deltab | vysty: or you can connect the machines using a network and rsync the files across | 04:28 |
| octav1a | having an issue where i can ping and resolve all website dns fine, but i get 'connection refused' for all sites trying to open them | 04:36 |
| octav1a | any idea what might cause it? | 04:36 |
| pi0 | sarnold: arg! | 05:03 |
| deltab | octav1a: resolving to the right IP addresses? | 05:03 |
| pi0 | my school comp pooped | 05:03 |
| pi0 | Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout | 05:03 |
| pi0 | wont boot up into the os | 05:03 |
| deltab | octav1a: try tcptraceroute | 05:04 |
| pi0 | is there any way to boot it up again | 05:07 |
| pi0 | all of a suden | 05:14 |
| pi0 | just did not boot up | 05:14 |
| pi0 | does linux offer recovery boot | 05:14 |
| deltab | yes | 05:16 |
| deltab | what happens? | 05:16 |
| pi0 | when i boot up my laptop macbook pro | 05:16 |
| pi0 | Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110) | 05:17 |
| pi0 | it hangs on that | 05:17 |
| deltab | that seems to be a problem with some Bluetooth HCI (human/computer interface) device | 05:18 |
| deltab | at what stage in booting does that happen? | 05:19 |
| pi0 | from the start | 05:20 |
| pi0 | as soon as i hit power | 05:20 |
| pi0 | it goes through the process and stops there | 05:21 |
| deltab | so the boot loader has started the kernel at least | 05:22 |
| pi0 | i think so | 05:23 |
| deltab | you should be able to interrupt the boot process before the kernel starts and try the rescue mode | 05:23 |
| pi0 | what is the hotkey to load that menu | 05:24 |
| deltab | I think any key will do | 05:24 |
| pi0 | i will try space bar | 05:25 |
| pi0 | "/dev/sda2: recovering journal" | 05:26 |
| pi0 | "/dev/sda2: clean ...... "stuff" | 05:26 |
| deltab | good | 05:27 |
| pi0 | those are the only 2 lines | 05:28 |
| pi0 | then it goes back were we talk about | 05:28 |
| pi0 | i cannot seem to find the recovery menu | 05:28 |
| pi0 | if i boot it from a different usb | 05:28 |
| pi0 | is that an option | 05:28 |
| deltab | yes | 05:28 |
| pi0 | but what would i do then | 05:28 |
| deltab | depends on what the problem is | 05:28 |
| deltab | if it's software (a bad update, maybe) you could use the working OS to repair the broken one | 05:29 |
| pi0 | well did just remove a lot of stuff | 05:29 |
| deltab | if it's hardware, you might be able to find out which device | 05:29 |
| deltab | what kind of stuff? | 05:30 |
| pi0 | gnome | 05:30 |
| deltab | ah okay; that shouldn't affect the kernel | 05:30 |
| pi0 | but not sure how to get to the recovery screen menu | 05:33 |
| pi0 | were i can select a different kernel | 05:33 |
| deltab | that's the boot loader | 05:37 |
| deltab | do you know which boot loader your system is using? | 05:37 |
| deltab | or can you boot from another USB device? | 05:37 |
| pi0 | not exactly sure | 05:40 |
| pi0 | but once i boot with another usb | 05:40 |
| pi0 | how do i select recovery from the hd itself | 05:40 |
| deltab | if your other OS works then use that | 05:44 |
| Hash | Hello my friend | 05:46 |
| Hash | I made a guitar video and some parts suck which would like to clip out, is the gui for the ffmpeg thingy who can do this or is there a good program in ubuntu 20 | 05:46 |
| pi0 | but its just off the usb | 05:46 |
| Hash | I don't know this. | 05:46 |
| Hash | Something like Windows Movie Maker (easy peasy, drop video, clip out parts, etc.) | 05:47 |
| Hash | It's probably easier to clip out using ffmpeg I guess. Then stitch em together. I wonder what happens if you cat a few video files into a new bigger video file. Does it mess up the encodings? | 05:49 |
| deltab | depends on the format | 05:49 |
| deltab | it might work perfectly, or with a stutter or glitch, or it might only play one part, or it might not play at all | 05:52 |
| deltab | and you might lose the ability to skip through the window smoothly or at all, or the sound might be desynchronised, etc. | 05:53 |
| deltab | try it, I guess; or look for video editing software; it's abailable | 05:54 |
| deltab | pi0: it should be able to access the hard drive | 05:55 |
| deltab | pi0: ah, holding shift should show the GRUB menu, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 06:03 |
| deltab | or press escape a few times | 06:04 |
| deltab | recovery mode gives you a root shell and not much else | 06:05 |
| deltab | so a live CD/USB is generally nicer | 06:06 |
| Hash | Ok I just used this program called mpv and noted times and use ffmpeg to slice out a thing | 06:06 |
| Hash | Now I have to figure out latency on the ubuntu 20.04 kernel and my reordings. I bought a mic | 06:06 |
| Hash | Oh ok I see, thanks for all the great info man | 06:06 |
| Hash | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7eTUtdAyaI I did this. Sound is a bit muddy | 06:06 |
| Hash | Is there an official RT kernel for ubuntu 20.04? | 06:07 |
| deltab | there's a lowlatency version | 06:07 |
| Hash | Hmm | 06:09 |
| Hash | I need like a multi channel, multi track thingy to record in. | 06:09 |
| Hash | Software I mean. | 06:09 |
| Hash | Say I play a drum track in it, and while it's playing, record guitar on another track | 06:10 |
| deltab | https://www.debugpoint.com/2018/08/3-best-daw-digital-audio-workstation-apps-ubuntu-linux/ | 06:14 |
| Hash | Wicked. | 06:16 |
| pi0 | how do i mount my hardrive | 06:17 |
| pi0 | with boot usb | 06:17 |
| Hash | pi0: open console. as sudo/root type `fdisk -l` or 'lsblk' and find out the drive you want to mount | 06:19 |
| Hash | pi0: then depending on file system, you'd mount it with `mount /dev/sd(whatever) /your/mount/point' | 06:20 |
| Hash | Specifying whatever options you would need to pass. | 06:20 |
| deltab | pi0: if you boot using a live image it can start the GUI and you can use tools such as the Disks utility | 06:29 |
| pi0 | well i was not able to recover from grub menu | 06:32 |
| pi0 | but managed to mount the drive and cp to usb drive | 06:32 |

| nanthencodeneeth | i installed windows in uefi | 08:54 |
| nanthencodeneeth | and tried to install ubuntu in legacy | 08:54 |
| nanthencodeneeth | now that made me switch between uefi and legacy each time when i needed to boot windows or ubuntu | 08:55 |
| nanthencodeneeth | and i read that u should install ubuntu in uefi | 08:55 |
| EriC^^ | nanthencodeneeth: is ubuntu installed in legacy mode right now alongside windows? you can convert it from within the install to uefi | 08:55 |
| EriC^^ | nanthencodeneeth: try pressing filename, also make sure you try different usb ports in case it's having problems | 08:56 |
| nanthencodeneeth | ok EriC^^ let me try and will say in few minutes | 08:57 |
| nanthencodeneeth | i cant even select legacy now it is seems disabled | 08:58 |

| nanthencodeneeth | its is not getting listed | 09:02 |
| EriC^^ | nanthencodeneeth: does filename show any usb device you can browse for files? | 09:04 |
| nanthencodeneeth | no | 09:04 |
| EriC^^ | ok, try to get it to boot in legacy mode as you did before | 09:05 |
| nanthencodeneeth | ok i shall boot in legacy mode | 09:05 |

| Marquel | cpu*/ folder in the sysfs - how can i set them online? | 11:05 |
| TJ- | Marquel: are they hyperthreads (SMT) ? | 11:16 |
| Marquel | TJ-: virtual cpus from the hypervisor. they are listed in "offline". | 11:17 |
| TJ- | Marquel: if they are 'pretend' SMT they can be potentially disabled by boot-time kernel options to counter vulnerabilities - check the kernel log for clues | 11:19 |
| Marquel | pcpu-alloc reports CPUs 0 through 7, smp brings up 1 node, 4 cpus. | 11:21 |
| Marquel | basically works as intended, the four additional vcpus are intended to be available in case of load peaks. as is now. | 11:21 |
| TJ- | Marquel: maybe you have to mark them as online via the hypervisor? | 11:24 |

| c03 | I accidentally deleted all files on my boot partition. I am running a luks encrypted system partition, and an efi boot partition additionally. I have reinstalled the efi partition, but am unsure on how to recover the boot partition | 12:00 |
| c03 | I am chrooted into the system partition with the boot partition mounted as /boot and the efi mounted as /boot/efi | 12:01 |
| c03 | the efi partition has the esp and boot flags set. | 12:01 |
| TJ- | c03: you'll need to reinstall the installed kernels in order to put them back and cause building of the initialramfs initrd.img files and rerun grub-install and finally update-grub | 12:20 |
| TJ- | c03: "sudo apt install --reinstall $( apt list --installed 'linux-image-*' 2>/dev/null | cut -f 1 -d / | grep -v Listing ) " should do the first part | 12:22 |
| c03 | TJ-: Thanks | 12:34 |
| c03 | TJ-: Getting an E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-5.4.0-62-generic:amd64 | 12:39 |
| c03 | Trying to just install linux-image-generic results in an error; Failed to create symlink to vmlinuz-5.4.0-62-generic: Operation not permitted at /usr/bin/linux-update-symlinks line 64 | 12:41 |
| TJ- | c03: ahhh, looks like you've got a foreign-arch in there too to cause the ":amd64" arch label to be appended | 12:50 |
| c03 | Yes, I got desperate and copied /boot from my laptop earlier. Horrible idea. | 12:51 |
| TJ- | c03: probably need to manually fix-up the 'apt install' command to avoid that | 12:52 |
| TJ- | if you haven't already, use this to get the list then edit it manually before feeding it to 'apt install --reinstall' " echo $( apt list --installed 'linux-image-*' 2>/dev/null | cut -f 1 -d / | grep -v Listing ) " | 12:52 |
| c03 | TJ-: How do you mean? Currently I'm just attempting apt install linux-image-generic, and that fails on the symlink creation. | 12:52 |
| TJ- | hang on, maybe we need to refine the list to just the versioned images | 12:53 |
| reactormonk1 | I've got an 18.04 machine here which doesn't always boot correctly - the BIOS does post every time, but afterwards I only get a black screen about 60% of the time - booting via recovery works 100% though, but the resolution is crap. | 12:55 |
| TJ- | c03: "sudo apt install --reinstall $( apt list --installed 'linux-image-5*' 2>/dev/null | cut -f 1 -d / | grep -v Listing | sed 's/:amd64//' ) " | 12:55 |
| c03 | TJ-: The listing doesn't contain any :amd64 images | 12:57 |
| c03 | (before the sed) | 12:57 |
| c03 | So I'm not really sure where it gets the :amd64 from. | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 13:01 |
| TJ- | c03: then :amd64 will be showing up as a Depends: of one of the parent packages, most likely linux-image-generic | 13:28 |

| urmogo | hello, how to produce a core dump of 3rd party application | 13:37 |
| urmogo | apport seems to skip them | 13:37 |
| === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer | ||
| oerheks | if apport skips that coredump, nothing gets written in /var/crash/ .. But it is disabled by default in stable releases. | 13:39 |
| oerheks | sudo systemctl enable apport.service or sudo service apport start. to make it work again? | 13:40 |
| urmogo | it works but reports the app is not from apt source | 13:41 |
| urmogo | it's a custom program which crash sometimes and i would like to investigate why, but it's hard without core file | 13:42 |
| === vlm_ is now known as vlm | ||
| oerheks | ask themaintainer of that special app? | 13:49 |
| lotuspsychje | or if its on launchpad ubuntu-bug package? | 13:50 |
| urmogo | ERROR: apport (pid 38996) Fri Dec 11 15:09:01 2020: executable does not belong to a package, ignoring | 13:52 |
| lotuspsychje | not an official ubuntu package? | 13:53 |
| urmogo | yea it's a compiled application | 13:53 |
| urmogo | I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on rasberypi | 13:53 |
| lotuspsychje | urmogo: start it from terminal and leave a journalctl -f open to debug it yourself perhaps | 13:58 |

| Intelo | reactormonk1: https://termbin.com/lm3z | 14:29 |

| reactormonk1 | There's a few like pulseaudio[26996]: Error opening PCM device hw:4: No such file or directory | 14:33 |
| Intelo | reactormonk1: its a laptop having builtin speakers but I have connected external ones. both don't work | 14:34 |
| reactormonk1 | Maybe there's something in dmesg that indicates a hardware failure? | 14:34 |
| Intelo | https://termbin.com/4ii0 | 14:35 |
| reactormonk1 | Intelo, what does the configuration tab of pavucontrol show? | 14:37 |
| Intelo | reactormonk1: https://imgur.com/7UYPq0k.png | 14:40 |
| reactormonk1 | Intelo, does the first one offer you any configuration options if you click on it? | 14:41 |
| reactormonk1 | ... also, is that the builtin audio? | 14:41 |
| Intelo | reactormonk1: the last 3 are all externals | 14:42 |
| Intelo | last two points to same mic I have | 14:42 |
| Intelo | don't know about the top one | 14:43 |
| reactormonk1 | Intelo, if you click on the "off" on the top one, what do you get? | 14:45 |

| reactormonk1 | Intelo, scroll up, look for "audio output" or "audio duplex" | 14:50 |

| Marquel | TJ-: it was true, i had to do it from the hypervisor - the cpus started to appear in the VM and were startable (except no. 4 which refused to become online). | 14:52 |
| Intelo | reactormonk1: https://imgur.com/G5P09WB.png | 14:52 |
| reactormonk1 | Intelo, ahh duh. I was hoping for an easy resolution. | 14:52 |
| Intelo | reactormonk1: in a nutshell what seems to be the problem? | 14:53 |
| reactormonk1 | Intelo, I was _hoping_ it was just a bad pulseaudio config and it didn't show up in pulseaudio because of that. | 14:53 |
| reactormonk1 | ... which isn't the case :-( | 14:53 |
| Intelo | hm | 14:53 |
| Intelo | ok | 14:53 |
| reactormonk1 | Sorry, I was looking for anything that would point to something obvious, but I couldn't see anything. | 14:54 |

| genkgo | Hello, I have a question on network connections. I have a primary VPN that controls the full network (unchecked the local network only box). But I also have another VPNs with the local network box checked. When I first connect to the primary VPN, then I cannot connect to any IP of the second VPN. While if I first connect to the secondary VPN, I can reach both networks. | 15:38 |
| genkgo | How can I make sure the order of connecting to the VPNs does not matter? | 15:40 |
| summonner | sounds like a netmask or ip restriction in place for one of the VPNs. You might want to check in #networking genkgo - they're more on topic for that stuff | 15:40 |
| genkgo | summonner: thanks, will check there! | 15:40 |
| coconut | javi404, seeing no one answers: do you have the same problems on a recent 5.4 kernel? | 15:53 |
| javi404 | coconut: im gonna have to check | 15:54 |
| javi404 | let me save all my tabs and such and revert, what is the proper way to do that? | 15:54 |
| javi404 | in fedora i just pick in grub | 15:54 |
| javi404 | not sure ubuntu | 15:54 |
| javi404 | also posted here just to document: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2457547&p=14018855#post14018855 | 15:55 |
| coconut | javi404, you can do that too in grub with ubuntu iirc, and if not you can customize kernels in grub with "grub customizer". | 15:56 |
| javi404 | ok, i guess let me test grub customezer in a vm before i do something crazy | 15:57 |
| javi404 | i can't blow up this workstation at the moment. | 15:57 |
| javi404 | i did recently enable grub so i can pick memtest86 on boot which doesn't work btw. | 15:58 |
| javi404 | i had a mem problem / freezing, but reseated the dimms and all is solid now except the performance issue. | 15:58 |
| coconut | javi404, grub customizer is easy to use, i have it installed by default to change booting kernel versions when something is wrong. | 16:02 |
| javi404 | coconut: so just install it, run it, that's it? | 16:03 |
| javi404 | when i boot it will ask me? | 16:03 |
| coconut | javi404, no you change the grub config to boot a kernel version by default that you want, that's all. You just have to push the right kernel to the top of gui of grub customizer. | 16:05 |
| javi404 | got it | 16:05 |
| coconut | The save it and let it run. After that, reboot and fingers crossed. | 16:05 |
| javi404 | ok | 16:05 |
| oerheks | javi404, Radeon HD 4250 is below the minimum specs, that Radeon HD 5670/5690/5730 should be oke | 16:06 |
| coconut | *then | 16:06 |
| javi404 | yeah, but there is a noticable change after the update | 16:06 |
| javi404 | huge | 16:06 |
| oerheks | openradeon is for ATI 5xxx and up | 16:06 |
| zen_coder | how can I make sure that my files created on a samba share are all marked with read/write access of a certain group? | 16:13 |
| oerheks | answered yesterday; zen_coder, with ACL ? https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-manage-acls-on-linux | 16:15 |
| oerheks | anyway, writing as a member of that group should be sufficient, no? | 16:15 |
| zen_coder | oerheks: what I have atm is the new files create have read access by that specific group | 16:16 |
| zen_coder | but not write access | 16:17 |
| zen_coder | I used in the samba config the "force group" entry | 16:17 |
| ghost2911 | Hi. What is the simplest way to set permissions 774 for user www-data, for a file or folder created inside /var/www ? | 16:55 |
| ghost2911 | permissions should be set automatically when file or folder created inside /var/www I mean | 16:56 |
| coconut | The software updater keeps asking for removing old kernels in a popup a lot. Can i change that somewhere to not do that anymore? I want the kernels to stay. | 17:01 |
| pavlos | ghost2911: probably you need 775 for /var/www and owner www-data | 17:02 |
| ghost2911 | pavlos probably, but I want that everytime something new created inside /var/www gets 775 and owner www-data | 17:03 |
| ghost2911 | no matter what ) | 17:03 |
| sanderx | Hi all! I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 and had a problem during that upgrade with initramfs. It is probably this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1897747 | 17:04 |

| sanderx | Although everything seems to be working as expected I want to be sure. How can I check that everything is working as expected? | 17:05 |
| pavlos | ghost2911: chmod 775 -R /var/www and chown www-data:www-data /var/www | 17:05 |
| ghost2911 | pavlos, yes this sets once permissions what happens if you create a new file | 17:07 |
| ghost2911 | If I'm root then the file gets root user and group also but I want www-data | 17:08 |
| ghost2911 | I saw sgid could do the thing at least for owners | 17:08 |
| pavlos | ghost2911: if owner of /var/www is www-data, any file/dir created under, will inherit that dir's owner/perms | 17:10 |
| ghost2911 | no it takes default the user you are using | 17:11 |

| sla3k | Hey all, so I wanted my user to do 'sudo su' without a password and added 'myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' to '/etc/sudoers' file; followed by logging out and login back, when I do sudo su it is still asking for a password? following one of the posts here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/426644/allowing-sudo-su-without-password-over-ubuntu | 17:25 |
| sla3k | what is it that I am doing wrong? thanks | 17:26 |
| sla3k | OS: Ubuntu 18.04 | 17:26 |
| leftyfb | sla3k: log out and back in | 17:30 |
| leftyfb | sla3k: also make sure your line in the sudoers file is above any include lines | 17:30 |
| sla3k | leftyfb: did that | 17:31 |
| sla3k | a couple of times actually | 17:31 |
| compdoc | sla3k, create a file like: /etc/sudoers.d/010_sla3k-nopasswd | 17:31 |
| compdoc | in the file write: sla3k ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL | 17:32 |
| sla3k | LOL, looks like I locked myself out, FML..getting error on sudo su now, syntax error in /etc/sudoers | 17:34 |
| sla3k | Since this is a fresh VM off of Proxmox, I'll just go ahead and re-install and start afresh | 17:35 |
| micros | Does anyone know of a service that can check a processes main thread liveliness (verify its not long term blocked)? I checked some suggestions from earlier but they arent quite the right thing. Like a heartbeat request/response, or a way to do this through the proc file system; or other method. Possibly, make a case why its not needed? | 17:37 |
| leftyfb | sla3k: when you make these changes, you should always use visudo | 17:37 |
| micros | leftyfb - oh yes, learned that the hard way! | 17:38 |
| leftyfb | I also make sure to login on another terminal and su to root and leave it logged in in case I need to fix anything | 17:38 |
| leftyfb | as root* | 17:38 |
| sla3k | I generally do all the above if this would be critical VM but I am just playing around, my ub16-docker VM is very well intact and I would think twice messing with that one | 17:39 |

| hispeed | ohh but I know someone from the ubuntu community so i have connections | 19:26 |
| compdoc | alrighty then | 19:27 |
| UnexpectedEOF | what is nice? | 19:29 |
| UnexpectedEOF | I read a bit about it | 19:29 |
| oerheks | not much to read: man nice; nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority | 19:30 |
| hispeed | compdoc I already run one ubuntu server so at least I know how to install it, hehe. | 19:31 |
| UnexpectedEOF | I mean, how will it affect the program? | 19:32 |
| oerheks | with more/less priority? | 19:32 |
| UnexpectedEOF | less | 19:32 |
| UnexpectedEOF | like -20 | 19:32 |
| oerheks | What the effect for your situation means, you will find out? | 19:33 |
| UnexpectedEOF | there is a program that I don't want to use up too much cpu | 19:33 |

| sanderx | @pavlos thanks. | 19:36 |
| sanderx | javi404, I don't think that is the case for me. | 19:37 |
| pavlos | UnexpectedEOF: you can, "man nice" to read all about nice | 20:09 |

| RadSurfer | SOMEONE please explain why putting "Dock" on right-hand side obscures those 3 buttons needed to access OTHER ITEMS of your applications? How do we then switch to the other pages of applications?!? | 20:53 |
| leftyfb | RadSurfer: can you explain what you are referring to? What version of Ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| RadSurfer | 20.04 | 20:54 |
| RadSurfer | You know that panel of "favorites" that appears usually on left-hand side? slide-out panel? | 20:54 |
| leftyfb | RadSurfer: the "dock" is on the left side by default | 20:54 |
| RadSurfer | Yes, but when moved... how do we switch between pages of applications | 20:54 |
| RadSurfer | Try placing it on Right hand side... it covers up 3 BUTTONS | 20:55 |
| leftyfb | RadSurfer: does this happen to new windows you open or just existing windows? | 20:55 |
| RadSurfer | what windows? | 20:55 |
| leftyfb | RadSurfer: the windows with the buttons you're referring to | 20:55 |
| RadSurfer | this is about accessing the collection of applications (icons) | 20:55 |
| matsaman | did Ubuntu actually officially make the dock moveable? I thought that was always third party hacks | 20:56 |
| RadSurfer | Yes, you have been able to move it for a long time now | 20:56 |
| matsaman | cool | 20:56 |
| RadSurfer | except its weird how its implemented | 20:56 |
| matsaman | it's probably really hacked in =P | 20:56 |
| RadSurfer | Grrr.... | 20:56 |
| RadSurfer | and he doesn't know what I mean by switching between pages of apps | 20:56 |
| leftyfb | matsaman: nah, it's right in the default settings | 20:56 |
| matsaman | leftyfb: cool | 20:57 |
| matsaman | RadSurfer: screenshot would make it apparent to anybody | 20:57 |
| RadSurfer | At BOTTOM of the panel, theres these little DOT-pattern, by clicking on that Dot pattern, brings up a NEW screen of Applications to select (launch) | 20:57 |
| RadSurfer | there are usually 3 pages of those applications I can launch, understand now? | 20:58 |
| RadSurfer | I want to know how to manually switch between them... a keyboard short cut | 20:58 |
| leftyfb | RadSurfer: I hit the <super> key and type the application I want to open. I mainly don't use the icons in the dock | 20:58 |
| leftyfb | application *name | 20:59 |
| * RadSurfer sighs | 20:59 | |
| RadSurfer | anyone have a clue what I'm describing here? | 20:59 |
| JoeLlama | Hi there! I have older (2007) Intel Core 2 computers with SATA 1 and 4G memory running at 2.4 GHz. I want a version of Ubuntu that will run fast with out a bunch of fancy graphic features that will slow the systems down. What version of Ubuntu do you guys think I should get and where do I get it please? :) | 20:59 |
| RadSurfer | 3x3 dot pattern takes you to where I am describing... | 20:59 |
| RadSurfer | I like that question JoeLlama :) | 21:00 |
| JoeLlama | thanks RadSurfer | 21:00 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: have you tried lubuntu or ubuntu mate? | 21:00 |
| JoeLlama | I have used xubuntu | 21:01 |
| RadSurfer | Oh! I figured out my problem! doh! | 21:01 |
| RadSurfer | xubuntu was very cool in its day; haven't tried it recently! | 21:01 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: try lubuntu and mate | 21:01 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: not dedicated GPUs? | 21:02 |
| JoeLlama | hrm I had issues with lubuntu leftyfb | 21:02 |
| matsaman | no* dedicated GPUs? that is | 21:02 |
| JoeLlama | the GPU is GeForce 8600 | 21:02 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: feel free to try ubuntu mate or ask for help with lubuntu when you're running it | 21:02 |
| matsaman | well any dedicated GPU is going to make any "fancy graphic features" work perfectly fine | 21:02 |
| matsaman | any dedicated GPU whatsoever | 21:02 |
| JoeLlama | hrm ok | 21:02 |
| RadSurfer | for what it's worth, after clicking on that 3x3 dot pattern from slide-out "panel", goto ALL applications, then just type Down-array, or page-down! it advances! | 21:02 |
| JoeLlama | how does lubuntu compare to xubuntu? | 21:03 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: it's meant to be lighter | 21:03 |
| matsaman | I couldn't tell you if it is | 21:03 |
| JoeLlama | and should I use 16.04 | 21:03 |
| RadSurfer | less elaborate desktop | 21:03 |
| matsaman | the nature of Debian/Ubuntu binary packages is such that a lot of optional support is built-in | 21:03 |
| matsaman | so Xfce comes with GNOME support you don't need | 21:03 |
| matsaman | and LXDE probably comes with similar things you don't need | 21:03 |
| JoeLlama | unno what those are matsaman | 21:04 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: you should use the latest LTS version of Ubuntu at the very least | 21:04 |
| matsaman | Xfce is the desktop environment Xubuntu uses; LXDE is the one Lubuntu uses | 21:04 |
| JoeLlama | oh ok | 21:04 |
| JoeLlama | xubuntu worked pretty well | 21:04 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso that will give you 32bit 18.04. But you'll have to install your own desktop packages including your D | 21:04 |
| matsaman | GNOME is essentially the default Ubuntu desktop, it is comparatively enormous | 21:04 |
| leftyfb | DE* | 21:04 |
| matsaman | as is KDE | 21:04 |
| JoeLlama | what version of xubuntu should I use> | 21:05 |
| matsaman | Xfce is a lovely desktop | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | this true? - keybase app acquired by ZOOM. | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | :/ | 21:05 |
| matsaman | whichever is the newest that isn't a beta | 21:05 |
| matsaman | f4ulty0ne: that's what I heard yes | 21:05 |
| matsaman | f4ulty0ne: what is it you even want keybase for? | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | omfg. | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | :X | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | I thought keybase was a neat chat app. | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | over it now :D | 21:05 |
| matsaman | I mean you have IRC, so... | 21:05 |
| f4ulty0ne | and dang glad :D | 21:06 |
| JoeLlama | I dunno what archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso is | 21:06 |
| matsaman | all chat system protocols can be encrypted at this point | 21:06 |
| f4ulty0ne | !!! | 21:06 |
| JoeLlama | what is mini.iso? | 21:06 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: probably just a smaller image that is uglier during installation | 21:06 |
| matsaman | and the same after installation | 21:06 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: it's a stripped down installer | 21:07 |
| javi404 | anyone running radeon kernel driver on 20.04.2 | 21:07 |
| javi404 | ? | 21:07 |
| JoeLlama | hrm leftyfb said I will have to install a desktop package with it... where do I get that> | 21:07 |
| leftyfb | JoeLlama: during the install it should ask you which desktop to install | 21:07 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/20.04.2/release/ | 21:07 |
| JoeLlama | okay leftyfb so what is that iso? xubuntu? | 21:07 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: chances are you have an amd64 architecture | 21:07 |
| JoeLlama | matsaman it's core 2 intel | 21:08 |
| JoeLlama | hrm... | 21:08 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: that's amd64 | 21:08 |
| JoeLlama | oh ok :) heh | 21:08 |
| JoeLlama | so then I am looking at Xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa) | 21:09 |
| JoeLlama | how does that compare with your link leftyfb? | 21:09 |
| matsaman | 'bionic' is for version 18; there's really no reason to not use 20.04 at this point | 21:09 |
| f4ulty0ne | hey fam, anyone recommend a good BNC/ZNC? | 21:09 |
| f4ulty0ne | I was checking out xshellz | 21:09 |
| leftyfb | oh, ok, if it's 64bit, then go with 20.04 | 21:09 |
| leftyfb | f4ulty0ne: please keep on topic here. This is Ubuntu support | 21:09 |
| JoeLlama | hrm ok ok | 21:09 |

| JoeLlama | so th3n I am going with http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/20.04.2/release/ | 21:10 |
| f4ulty0ne | sorry lefty, forgive me :( | 21:10 |
| f4ulty0ne | won't happen again | 21:10 |
| f4ulty0ne | <3 | 21:10 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: desktop-amd64, yes | 21:10 |
| JoeLlama | o k ! | 21:10 |
| JoeLlama | thanks guys (: | 21:10 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: if it turns out you don't like it | 21:10 |
| matsaman | JoeLlama: you can always change your desktop environment without reinstalling | 21:10 |
| matsaman | if you want | 21:10 |
| JoeLlama | what's not to like :) | 21:10 |
| * matsaman shrugs | 21:11 | |
| JoeLlama | okay thanks bye for now | 21:11 |

| goodTimesImmort | Ideally I'm trying to copy the contents of a folder from local to remote where duplicates are replaced and other files already ther are left intact. | 21:26 |
| goodTimesImmort | Would this be the result of scp -r directory/ me@server: /home/destination_with_different_name/ | 21:26 |
| goodTimesImmort | Or is that just going to copy the directory into the destination? | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | goodTimesImmort: look into rsync | 21:30 |
| matsaman | goodTimesImmort: does sound like plain rsync -a or -av would do what you want | 21:32 |
| goodTimesImmort | Thank you for your guidance random citizens. I shall do some research. | 21:33 |
| matsaman | rsync -av ./dir/ user@host:some/other/place/ | 21:35 |
| matsaman | just be careful with the trailing slash with rsync | 21:36 |
| matsaman | rsync -a ./dir else/where/ will create else/where/dir/, but rsync -a ./dir/ else/where/ will fill else/where/ with /dir/'s contents | 21:36 |
| matsaman | when in doubt I would say always use a trailing slash for directories, and always explicitly include the name you want at the end of the destination path | 21:37 |
| matsaman | and if you use sshfs to mount the destination ahead of time, instead of using user@host:path, you can just specify the path, and you'll get tab completion | 21:39 |

| PaulDot | Hey, I'm having an Issue while trying to dual-boot Ubuntu 18.04. It throws the error "failed to load ldlinux.c32 ". Could anyone help me?? | 22:49 |
| oerheks | did you check the iso after download? | 22:52 |
| oerheks | !md5sum | 22:52 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which a checksum is provided), see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu | 22:52 |
| PaulDot | No, let me try that | 22:53 |
| oerheks | and how did you write the iso? | 22:53 |
| PaulDot | Using Rufus | 22:53 |
| sarnold | ah, try again with dd | 22:54 |
| PaulDot | dd? | 22:54 |
| oerheks | depends on the host | 22:54 |
| PaulDot | what are u on about? | 22:54 |
| oerheks | if linux, yes, dd the iso | 22:54 |
| PaulDot | nah, my main thing is windows | 22:55 |
| PaulDot | so i'm running the Rufus flash on windows | 22:55 |
| PaulDot | and then I'm trying to boot ubuntu from the USB | 22:55 |
| PaulDot | I'm on windows, so that brew thingy won't' work :P | 22:56 |
| oerheks | sarnold, rufus is officially mentioned, i am not fond of it either https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview | 22:57 |
| oerheks | but thing is, is this an UEFI machine or legacy bios? | 22:57 |
| PaulDot | I tried both | 22:57 |
| PaulDot | first normal UEFI | 22:57 |
| PaulDot | then the legacy bios | 22:57 |
| PaulDot | both didn't work | 22:58 |
| sarnold | oerheks: zounds that's a lot more complicated than I expected | 22:58 |
| oerheks | you should choose whatever windows is installed in. | 22:59 |
| oerheks | UEFI should go fine | 22:59 |
| PaulDot | k, lemme try again with just UEFI | 22:59 |
| oerheks | ldlinux.c32 error suggests the iso is damaged | 22:59 |
| PaulDot | I just re-flashed it, still the same | 22:59 |
| PaulDot | so, how do I check the integrity of the iso file? | 23:00 |
| genii | !shasums | 23:00 |
| genii | Hm | 23:00 |
| PaulDot | well, that works like a charm xD | 23:01 |
| oerheks | read back? | 23:01 |
| oerheks | !md5sum | 23:01 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which a checksum is provided), see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu | 23:01 |
| genii | oerheks: I knew it was something like that.... | 23:01 |
| PaulDot | But, hohw do I run this on windows... | 23:01 |
| PaulDot | I don't have brew installed | 23:02 |
| PaulDot | Should I just install that? | 23:02 |
| oerheks | winMD5Sum. https://askubuntu.com/a/607829 | 23:03 |
| genii | Windows has a sum checker built in already called certutil | 23:03 |
| PaulDot | k, hold on, lemme try that | 23:04 |
| genii | So something like: CertUtil -hashfile C:\wherevertheisofileis\isofile.img MD5 | 23:05 |
| PaulDot | oh sweet | 23:05 |
| PaulDot | one sec | 23:07 |
| PaulDot | output: 44343bc1373c6dc826ebb58839155c39 | 23:09 |
| PaulDot | now what? Compare that to another one | 23:11 |
| PaulDot | now what? Compare that to another one? | 23:11 |
