[01:39] <designbybeck> Anyone use Boot Repair? It has been a long time since I've used it. I'm trying to help someone remotely with it, and it is asking for a password. I don't remember it ever asking for a username and password.
[01:40] <mrjohnson> i did a couple days ago. i don't remember needing a password to do stuff with it :-/
[01:40] <deltab> secure boot?
[01:42] <deltab> or the sudo password to install it?
[01:44] <designbybeck> it is just a login screen with Other
[01:44] <designbybeck> and then Login
[01:45] <sarnold> "Boot Repair - Teners Western Outfitters" heh
[01:47] <mrjohnson> are you/they running it from live media? live a usb flash disk or something?
[02:17] <pavlos> harovali1: can you pastebin the vbox-connector.service file?
[02:38] <pavlos> harovali1: you should create the service like, "sudo systemctl edit --force --full blink.service" ... the first line of the link you gave creates a dir and override
[03:16] <StupidDanbo> Well my next crash happened a lot sooner than I thought. only 3 days later. Alt-PrtScr S U B did not have any effect, nor did Alt-PrtScr R E I S U B. My audio was repeating a fraction of a second loop over and over again. Once again I had to hit the reset button on my case.
[03:17] <StupidDanbo> so once again, there was nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time of the crash.
[03:25] <StupidDanbo> .... oh. I was supposed to hit alt-PrtScr-[and the letter] all at the same time? I thought it was Alt-PrtScr, release, then the letters.
[03:26] <guiverc> StupidDanbo, the SysRq key varies on box/firmware/keyboard, eg. it's not always the printscreen; current dell keyboards for example use the Insert Key.   Are you using the correct key for your keyboard/box
[03:27] <StupidDanbo> I don't know.
[03:29] <StupidDanbo> Sorry to bring it up. I should try figuring this out another day. I've been awake way too long.
[03:29] <guiverc> yes on my keyboards it uses PrintScreen (but it says SysRq on the key itself on 6 keyboards within reach)
[03:30] <sarnold> StupidDanbo: btw check the kernel.sysrq sysctl setting; /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf on ubuntu is the usual place to configure it, but perhaps it's been set to something else via a different tool
[03:30] <StupidDanbo> "prt sc" above "sys rq"
[03:31] <StupidDanbo> kernel.sysrq = 176
[03:32] <StupidDanbo> I think that means.... reboot/poweroff, remount read-only, and sync command.
[03:34] <StupidDanbo> I'll write that down for later. but at least I'll know what keys to press properly this time.
[03:35] <sarnold> cool cool, I did the math on mine, 176, and came to the same conclusion: reboot, remount, sync
[04:44] <EtherMan> Anyone know if grml-rescueboot would boot the iso by loading into ram and booting from there or will the iso have to remain mounted in the same place? I'm looking for a way to resize the root partition on a VPS so don't have a way to boot off of external stuff :/
[05:15] <ckb> hey guys, I'm having a hard time making mongo a service.
[06:16] <ckb> How do I see why a service is failing to start?
[06:19] <rfm> ckb, "systemctl status whatever.service" will show any log messages, plus I think if any conditions failed
[06:20] <ckb> rfm: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
[06:21] <ckb> Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
[06:21] <rfm> ckb, is this WSL2?
[06:21] <ckb> yes :(
[06:22] <ckb> It's definitely 20.x
[06:22] <rfm> ckb, oh, then I can't help.  WSL2 although it says it's Ubuntu really isn't (you've hit one of the main differences, no systemd, it uses some Microsoft custom init)
[06:24] <ckb> rfm, mongod runs flawlessly
[06:26] <rfm> ckb, I'm sure it does, it's all in the init scripts (instead of systemd units); I'm sure it could be made to work (probably by writing sysv-init style scripts) but I'm afraid I haven't done that in decades now, so can't help
[06:26] <ckb> rfm, I appreciate the insight
[06:28] <rfm> ckb, there's another channel #ubuntu-on-windows which specializes in WSL, perhaps ppl there could help (if anybody's awake this late!)
[06:29] <ckb> rfm, perfect. thank you so much\
[06:30] <ckb> rfm, part of me just says to go with EC2 right now
[06:31] <ckb> rfm, is there anyway I can see the logs of this start up?
[06:31] <ckb> always [fail]
[06:32] <rfm> ckb, how is it starting?  If it's a sysv style init script (in /etc/init/?  been too long) you could just run it in a root shell.
[06:33] <rfm> ckb, an alternative to EC2 (which isn't a bad idea, actually) you could install virtualbox and run a real Ubuntu distribution.  Mind, it's about a full day job figuring out how to turn off HyperV so VBox can run...)
[06:33] <EriC^^> ckb: 'cat /var/log/boot.log' might show something
[06:35] <rfm> ckb, anyway we are dangerously offtopic for #ubuntu, and I'm quitting for the night.  Good luck.
[06:41] <ckb> Vbox costs?
[06:41] <EriC^^> vbox is free
[06:41] <ckb> Oh
[06:45] <ckb> VBox is a free VMware?
[06:46] <ckb> this makes this much easier then
[06:59] <ckb> Thank you, fellas
[06:59] <ckb> <3
[07:38] <ckb> WSL is the worst :X
[07:40] <ogra> ckb, for ESL questions you could try https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/wsl2/27
[07:40] <ogra> s/ESL/WSL/
[07:47] <ckb> ogra, I'm giving up on MS
[07:48] <ogra> up to you 🙂
[07:48] <ogra> note that there is a team insde canonical actually working on WSL with MS ... i'm sure they would be interested in any issues you hit with it
[08:03] <fub> Hi. How do I find all symlinks where the destination contains a specific word?
[08:07] <geirha> fub: matching the target filename, or the target's content?
[08:08] <fub> target filename
[08:10] <geirha> find . -type l -exec sh -c 'case $(readlink "$1") in *word*) exit 0 ;; esac; exit 1' _ {} \; -print
[08:14] <fub> thanks
[11:13] <raffaem2> what is a good software with GUI to manage compressed archives?
[11:13] <raffaem2> File roller is too simple for my use case
[11:13] <raffaem2> doesn't allow me to specify level of compression nor encryption nor option to encrypt headers
[11:41] <raffaem2> What is a good software with GUI for file compression?

[11:43] <stemid> I just realized I have two ubuntu 18.04 virtual machines on the same hypervisor, same network driver, different NIC device names. one was upgraded from ubuntu 14 and the other was a fresh 18 install. how can I fix this? the older VM uses eth0 and the newer uses ens160
[11:43] <JaredCE> i have multiple id_rsa keys... i want to do a git clone with a specific one, but can't work out the syntax.... like: ssh -i /home/jared/.ssh/abc_id_rsa git clone git@bitbucket.org:
[11:43] <stemid> this must be a known issue
[11:46] <JaredCE> ahh got it
[12:25] <ahri> hi, I'm trying to configure a docker image to use an apt proxy (so I've replaced /etc/apt/sources.list), but the proxy forces https. because of this I can't even "apt update" as I'm told to install ca-certificates, which I can't, because apt won't work :) how can I bootstrap my ubuntu image? I do not have direct internet access
[12:31] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[12:37] <jpds> ahri: scp the required stuff onto the box and install it with dpkg
[13:39] <stemid> what sort of weirdness is happening here? I'm doing mysql -h 10.40.1.58 from 10.40.1.51 and I get this error "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'netadmin'@'::ffff:10.40.1.51' (using password: YES)"
[13:44] <CarlFK> stemid: some sort of ipv6... not sure if that helps, bout all I got.
[13:45] <stemid> yes, but it's ipv6 and ipv4
[13:45] <stemid> it doesn't make sense
[13:52] <cbreak> ipv6 addresses can contain ipv4 addresses
[13:53] <cbreak> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Transition_from_IPv4
[13:59] <stemid> had to re-create all the old mysql grants with ::ffff: prefixing the old IP
[13:59] <stemid> weird. maybe there is some setting that can solve that.
[13:59] <stemid> but short term I'll just re-create the grants.
[14:00] <stemid> since these ubuntu servers have ipv6 addresses that are not used I thought this was something with ubuntu ipv6 disrupting mysql.
[14:00] <stemid> but I have no idea
[14:00] <stemid> I tried disabling ipv6 completely, the ipv6 addresses disappeared, same issue though.
[14:00] <stemid> so it's probably something about mysql.
[14:12] <cbreak> you disabled ipv6 on the server?
[14:12] <cbreak> because it seems that the server is the one doing the rejecting
[14:39] <ahri> jpds: I ended up doing `echo 'Acquire::https::Verify-Peer "false";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80disable-tls` while installing ca-certificates and removing it thereafter
[14:55] <DJ-ArcAngel> why can tcpdump only write in /tmp as root? https://pastebin.com/ffSbWN3V (ubuntu 18)
[14:57] <DJ-ArcAngel> aah.. apparmor
[15:42] <stemid> cbreak: yes but the workaround for now is just to create new grants with ::ffff: prefixing every old IP.
[15:42] <stemid> so I will ignore the ipv6 in the OS
[15:54] <RoseBus> hello, i'm trying to run gunicorn with systemd, it seems to be loaded & active but I dont see the .sock file in my project dir
[16:11] <thyriaen> I have created my own icon for an application and configured the desktop file to load it. However i get a default icon, which gets loaded when it has problems displaying mine - for example when i give a wrong filename - is there a way to debug what the actual problem is ? I might have saved it in a wrong format ( although i tried png and svg ) - any pointers would be appriciated
[16:28] <impermanence> I have an ubuntu box that has possibly been compromised.  My secops guy is saying that his IDS is seeing strange calls coming from the box.  syslog seems normal...
[16:29] <leftyfb> impermanence: turn it off, replace the storage device, or take an image of it. Then wipe it and re-install. That should be your 1 and only option.
[16:30] <cbreak> why do you think it's compromised?
[16:31] <leftyfb> impermanence: getting more information from your secops guy might help you. "strange calls" is very unhelpful
[16:33] <impermanence> leftyfb: it is indeed.
[16:34] <pavlos> impermanence: take the box off the network, then do forensics on it.
[16:36] <impermanence> pavlos: good idea.
[16:37] <thyriaen>  I have created my own icon for an application and configured the desktop file to load it.

[16:40] <impermanence> here's another question; I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box; and the openssh version on it is like 7.2 and I'm being asked to install 8.3 or greater.  Is this going to be possible?
[16:40] <impermanence> one of the other devops engineers on my team is saying he couldn't find a package for such a version on xenial...?
[16:40] <leftyfb> impermanence: 16.04 will be EOL next month
[16:41] <impermanence> leftyfb: indeed.
[16:41] <leftyfb> impermanence: and no, 8.3 is not supported on xenial
[16:41] <impermanence> leftyfb: okay.  so would we have to build this from source or?
[16:42] <leftyfb> impermanence: you should upgrade your OS
[16:43] <impermanence> leftyfb: we should.
[16:43] <leftyfb> impermanence: or just leave the OS that will become EOL in a month with a patched together remote access. It's not like it'll get compromised or anything.....
[16:46] <cbreak> you could upgrade, or just migrate :)
[16:47] <leftyfb> I'm building a couple new servers that will be running all my main stuff in LXD containers. That way I can move them between the 2 servers if need be and easily set snapshots and migrate accounts and services to other containers if I need to upgrade the underlying OS of the container

[17:04] <ptah> is it better to install ubuntu linux on a pc with windows system already installed for dual boot, or to install ubuntu first
[17:04] <ptah> or does it not matter
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> ptah: its easy when you create a new partition on windows first, then let ubuntu setup fill it for you
[17:06] <ptah> lotuspsychje i have windows 8 on a laptop, and im thinking of getting ubuntu
[17:06] <ptah> for dual boot
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> ptah: did you already test ubuntu, and like it?
[17:07] <ptah> i never had it on this laptop, but i have an old version on another mini dell laptop
[17:07] <ptah> :)
[17:09] <van777> it's pretty enough for me to have Ubuntu in VMware. I even ssh to it with cygwin. This way terminal is available after ALT+TAB, no need to click on VMware window.
[17:10] <ptah> lotuspsychje so i should make partion for linux in windows 8?
[17:10] <johnfg> Hi folks!
[17:10] <ptah> cause i dont want to delete my files in windows 8
[17:11] <johnfg> I received an email from ubuntu bugs, that the problem/bug with firefox has been fixed.  What I didn't see is what plan and when to bring it into updates.
[17:11] <johnfg> I guess I could go the root of adding the ppa for it, but would rather not.  At present, I've been using Chrome.
[17:40] <ham5urg> When I attach a laptop to a hifi-receiver via hdmi, audio is played via the receiver as expected. But everytime the laptop shuts off the monitor (e.g. 5 min. without mouse/keyboard-input) the audio via hdmi is stopped and the laptop starts to continue the audio-output.
[17:41] <ham5urg> I guess the screen-off-process expects hdmi to be a video-only-with-optional-audio-connection and not a audio-only-connection.
[17:41] <ham5urg> Is this fixable?
[18:46] <GM_Hao> yo o/
[18:46] <lotuspsychje> welcome GM_Hao
[18:53] <GM_Hao> Thanks a lot
[18:53] <GM_Hao> I am newbie and I am starting by 0 so please be patient with me xD
[18:53] <GM_Hao> someone know a good code engine to write codes like html for ubuntu
[18:58] <white_magic> hi, can someone tell me how i can force Ubuntu to automatically connect to wifi after a reboot, but before login? I'm running Ubuntu 20.10 and the wifi is through a USB adapter. It connects automatically after login, but I'd like it to be connecting before login
[19:00] <leaftype2> white_magic: the internet brought me here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/16376/connect-to-network-before-user-login
[19:01] <leaftype2> looks like you may have to edit a file in your /etc/network directory
[19:01] <leaftype2> out of curiosity... why do you want to connect to the internet before logging in?
[19:03] <white_magic> because I .. am going to use it as a server of sorts
[19:03] <white_magic> it's not a very serious type of server
[19:03] <white_magic> if it was, I would never rely on wifi
[19:04] <petrus> what is the command to show the installed glibc with version numbers, preferably in one line only.
[19:05] <leaftype2> petrus: ldd --version
[19:05] <leaftype2> it is on the first line after that
[19:05] <sarnold> GM_Hao: I've used vim for years
[19:06] <petrus> leaftype2: thanks!
[19:06] <sarnold> GM_Hao: but vim is a lot to handle.. newer folks seem to prefer something like https://snapcraft.io/code
[19:07] <leaftype2> Visual studio got the name "code"? wow, that nice for them
[19:08] <sarnold> yeah
[19:09] <petrus> leaftype2: it is the same as in archlinux :-), explanation: I am distributing python binary wheels
[19:26] <jaffachief> is there a vim colorscheme that matches the ubuntu gnome-terminal colours?
[19:26] <jaffachief> or is the default scheme supposed to be that?
[19:35] <GM_Hao> thanks a lot
[19:35] <GM_Hao> I installed sublime  text
[19:38] <GM_Hao> is there way to create text document with right click of mouse?
[19:50] <WeeDow> use /netsplit
[19:57] <petrus> Could somebody post the first line of the output of command `ldd --version`?
[19:59] <sarnold> $ ldd --version
[19:59] <sarnold> ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) 2.31
[19:59] <petrus> sarnold: thank you!
[20:45] <Ubuntivity> Hi. How can I display a white window fullscreen using bash?
[20:46] <oerheks> Ubuntivity, create a white photo, the size of your screen, open it , hit f11 full screen
[20:46] <oerheks> .. why bash?
[20:47] <Ubuntivity> oerheks: I need it to happen automatically
[20:47] <leftyfb> oerheks: you're better off drawing with python
[20:47] <Ubuntivity> oerheks: I'm making a light-alarm clock with bash
[20:47] <Ubuntivity> I made the script of waking up using rtc, and prepared the script to gradually raise the brightness over 15 minutes
[20:47] <oerheks> leftyfb, python?
[20:48] <Ubuntivity> All I need now is to display white window fullscreen during the gradual brightness-up
[20:48] <oerheks> oh, you already got answers in -offtopic
[20:49] <leftyfb> Ubuntivity: you can do eog --fullscreen picture-of-white.png
[20:50] <Ubuntivity> leftyfb: This is interesting. I'll go give it a try. and maybe I'll put a bright photo of the sun instead
[20:51] <plujon> avdmanager # ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.
[20:52] <plujon> What should my JAVA_HOME be ?
[20:53] <Ubuntivity> leftyfb: Thanks! Your idea just did it.. I appreciate it...
[21:04] <pavlos> V|A: your window manager is probably ... xfce
[23:08] <AutoMatrix> hi
[23:13] <AutoMatrix> where do I go to get help for a VP380 camera ?
[23:15] <oerheks> hi AutoMatrix, a quick search gives me no clue
[23:16] <oerheks> oh wait, i see a ugly dotnet solution
[23:16] <oerheks> https://www.ispyconnect.com/download.aspx
[23:16] <oerheks> https://www.ispyconnect.com/download.aspx#os-linux
[23:16] <oerheks> let us know if it works
[23:17] <AutoMatrix> thanks oerheks ;)
[23:18] <AutoMatrix> seems like a Dutch name to me ;)
[23:18] <oerheks> indeed, i am a dutch ubuntu member
[23:19] <AutoMatrix> niemand is perfect :p (I'm flemish)
[23:19] <AutoMatrix> thanks for the info, I'm going to have a look
[23:20] <oerheks> do some search, maybe the version numbers mentioned are higher now..
[23:20] <oerheks> but it seems pretty recent.
[23:20] <oerheks> > focal
[23:21] <meandrain> hi, my ubuntu 20.04 freezes with AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core Processor. Any tips how can I see what the problem is?
[23:22] <meandrain> I had no video card driver, it is a headless server
[23:22] <meandrain> sometimes it freezes once per day, other times after 4-5 days
[23:23] <meandrain> motherboard is:  ASRock B450D4U-V1L
[23:24] <meandrain> the machine also uses nvme samsung drives
[23:24] <sarnold> meandrain: does it have a bmc with serial or emulated serial port?
[23:24] <meandrain> I don't think so
[23:25] <meandrain> I've disabled S6 from bios, but it still freezes
[23:25] <oerheks> any heat problems?
[23:25] <meandrain> no
[23:25] <oerheks> that is what comes in mind first
[23:25] <meandrain> also ram is ok
[23:26] <meandrain> what commands should I run to look for errors ? I am new to linux :)
[23:26] <oerheks> s6 = cstates?
[23:27] <meandrain> yes
[23:27] <meandrain> I have docker running, with this errors, but I don't think that is the problem:   https://dpaste.org/9YqC
[23:28] <meandrain> also this:  https://dpaste.org/bzA0
[23:29] <meandrain> I've found this thread: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683      so I tried disabling that
[23:29] <oerheks> eth0 is the old naming scheme
[23:30] <meandrain> also my network card is not eth0
[23:30] <oerheks> the new naming is a breeze, certainly for cloud and vm works
[23:30] <meandrain> enp35s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
[23:30] <meandrain> that is my network card
[23:31] <meandrain> is there a way to enable some kind of kernel dump ?
[23:31] <meandrain> so when it crashes to save some debug info
[23:34] <sarnold> meandrain: oh good idea, try installing linux-crashdump
[23:35] <oerheks> what kernel is the host running?
[23:36] <meandrain> after I tried many times with the one from 20.04.02, I've upgraded an hour ago to 20.10
[23:37] <meandrain> Linux 5.8.0-44-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP
[23:37] <meandrain> it did not crashed yet, but it is too soon
[23:37] <sarnold> that 5.8 kernel is kinda default on 20.04 for many users, depending upon how they installed it
[23:40] <oerheks> yes, that is oke
[23:43] <meandrain> I just checked, with 20.04.2 I had 5.4.0.66 kernel
[23:44] <oerheks> i would stay on 20.04 LTS, with !hwe enabled
[23:44] <oerheks> !hwe
[23:44] <oerheks> that , or a fresh install of 20.04 would give 5.8
[23:45] <oerheks> but i like to see what you find, not that many ryzen 9 users
[23:45] <meandrain> I would prefer 20.04 but I don't know how to solve the freeze problem
[23:46] <oerheks> https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/kernel-crash-dump as sarnold suggested
[23:47] <sarnold> oh sweet
[23:47] <meandrain> thank you guys for directions, I'll try that
