=== joako_ is now known as joako === invisiblek_ is now known as invisiblek [01:39] 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] i did a couple days ago. i don't remember needing a password to do stuff with it :-/ [01:40] secure boot? [01:42] or the sudo password to install it? [01:44] it is just a login screen with Other [01:44] and then Login [01:45] "Boot Repair - Teners Western Outfitters" heh [01:47] are you/they running it from live media? live a usb flash disk or something? [02:17] harovali1: can you pastebin the vbox-connector.service file? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:38] 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 === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus === blackest_mamba_ is now known as blackest_mamba [03:16] 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] so once again, there was nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time of the crash. [03:25] .... 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] 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] I don't know. [03:29] Sorry to bring it up. I should try figuring this out another day. I've been awake way too long. [03:29] yes on my keyboards it uses PrintScreen (but it says SysRq on the key itself on 6 keyboards within reach) [03:30] 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] "prt sc" above "sys rq" [03:31] kernel.sysrq = 176 [03:32] I think that means.... reboot/poweroff, remount read-only, and sync command. [03:34] I'll write that down for later. but at least I'll know what keys to press properly this time. [03:35] cool cool, I did the math on mine, 176, and came to the same conclusion: reboot, remount, sync [04:44] 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 :/ === V1A is now known as V|A [05:15] hey guys, I'm having a hard time making mongo a service. [06:16] How do I see why a service is failing to start? [06:19] ckb, "systemctl status whatever.service" will show any log messages, plus I think if any conditions failed [06:20] rfm: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. [06:21] Failed to connect to bus: Host is down [06:21] ckb, is this WSL2? [06:21] yes :( [06:22] It's definitely 20.x [06:22] 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] rfm, mongod runs flawlessly [06:26] 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] rfm, I appreciate the insight [06:28] 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] rfm, perfect. thank you so much\ [06:30] rfm, part of me just says to go with EC2 right now [06:31] rfm, is there anyway I can see the logs of this start up? [06:31] always [fail] [06:32] 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] 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] ckb: 'cat /var/log/boot.log' might show something [06:35] ckb, anyway we are dangerously offtopic for #ubuntu, and I'm quitting for the night. Good luck. [06:41] Vbox costs? [06:41] vbox is free [06:41] Oh [06:45] VBox is a free VMware? [06:46] this makes this much easier then [06:59] Thank you, fellas [06:59] <3 [07:38] WSL is the worst :X [07:40] ckb, for ESL questions you could try https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/wsl2/27 [07:40] s/ESL/WSL/ [07:47] ogra, I'm giving up on MS [07:48] up to you 🙂 [07:48] 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] Hi. How do I find all symlinks where the destination contains a specific word? === sauvin is now known as Lemniscate [08:07] fub: matching the target filename, or the target's content?

[11:13] File roller is too simple for my use case [11:13] doesn't allow me to specify level of compression nor encryption nor option to encrypt headers [11:41] What is a good software with GUI for file compression? [11:41] File Roller is too simple for my usecase [11:41] doesn't allow me to specify compression options, or encrypt [11:43] 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] 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] this must be a known issue [11:46] ahh got it === Guest59215 is now known as LouWestin [12:25] 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] 'Morning folks [12:37] ahri: scp the required stuff onto the box and install it with dpkg === pasiz_ is now known as pasiz [13:39] 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] stemid: some sort of ipv6... not sure if that helps, bout all I got. [13:45] yes, but it's ipv6 and ipv4 [13:45] it doesn't make sense [13:52] ipv6 addresses can contain ipv4 addresses [13:53] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Transition_from_IPv4 [13:59] had to re-create all the old mysql grants with ::ffff: prefixing the old IP [13:59] weird. maybe there is some setting that can solve that. [13:59] but short term I'll just re-create the grants. [14:00] since these ubuntu servers have ipv6 addresses that are not used I thought this was something with ubuntu ipv6 disrupting mysql. [14:00] but I have no idea [14:00] I tried disabling ipv6 completely, the ipv6 addresses disappeared, same issue though. [14:00] so it's probably something about mysql. [14:12] you disabled ipv6 on the server? [14:12] because it seems that the server is the one doing the rejecting === semitones_tea is now known as semitones [14:39] 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] why can tcpdump only write in /tmp as root? https://pastebin.com/ffSbWN3V (ubuntu 18) [14:57] aah.. apparmor [15:42] cbreak: yes but the workaround for now is just to create new grants with ::ffff: prefixing every old IP. [15:42] so I will ignore the ipv6 in the OS [15:54] 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] 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 === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [16:28] 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] 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] why do you think it's compromised? [16:31] impermanence: getting more information from your secops guy might help you. "strange calls" is very unhelpful === Patrick_ is now known as ptah [16:33] leftyfb: it is indeed. [16:34] impermanence: take the box off the network, then do forensics on it. [16:36] pavlos: good idea. [16:37] 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 [16:40] 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] 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] impermanence: 16.04 will be EOL next month [16:41] leftyfb: indeed. [16:41] impermanence: and no, 8.3 is not supported on xenial [16:41] leftyfb: okay. so would we have to build this from source or? [16:42] impermanence: you should upgrade your OS [16:43] leftyfb: we should. [16:43] 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] you could upgrade, or just migrate :) [16:47] 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 [16:50] shalom [16:50] i got a question for ubuntu 2004 i think, this variant is called studio [16:50] Error: Ubuntu bug 2004 could not be found [16:50] desktop manager is kfc something :} [16:50] how do i change the taskbar size?

[17:07] i never had it on this laptop, but i have an old version on another mini dell laptop [17:07] :) [17:09] 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] lotuspsychje so i should make partion for linux in windows 8? [17:10] Hi folks! [17:10] cause i dont want to delete my files in windows 8 [17:11] 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] 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] 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] 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] Is this fixable? === Savicq is now known as Saviq === ijohnson is now known as ijohnson|lunch === ijohnson|lunch is now known as ijohnson [18:46] yo o/ [18:46] welcome GM_Hao === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [18:53] Thanks a lot [18:53] I am newbie and I am starting by 0 so please be patient with me xD [18:53] someone know a good code engine to write codes like html for ubuntu [18:58] 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] white_magic: the internet brought me here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/16376/connect-to-network-before-user-login [19:01] looks like you may have to edit a file in your /etc/network directory [19:01] out of curiosity... why do you want to connect to the internet before logging in? [19:03] because I .. am going to use it as a server of sorts [19:03] it's not a very serious type of server [19:03] if it was, I would never rely on wifi [19:04] what is the command to show the installed glibc with version numbers, preferably in one line only. [19:05] petrus: ldd --version [19:05] it is on the first line after that [19:05] GM_Hao: I've used vim for years [19:06] leaftype2: thanks!

[20:48] All I need now is to display white window fullscreen during the gradual brightness-up [20:48] oh, you already got answers in -offtopic [20:49] Ubuntivity: you can do eog --fullscreen picture-of-white.png [20:50] leftyfb: This is interesting.

[23:22] I had no video card driver, it is a headless server [23:22] sometimes it freezes once per day, other times after 4-5 days [23:23] motherboard is: ASRock B450D4U-V1L [23:24] the machine also uses nvme samsung drives [23:24] meandrain: does it have a bmc with serial or emulated serial port? [23:24] I don't think so [23:25] I've disabled S6 from bios, but it still freezes [23:25] any heat problems? [23:25] no [23:25] that is what comes in mind first [23:25] also ram is ok [23:26] what commands should I run to look for errors ? I am new to linux :) [23:26] s6 = cstates? [23:27] yes [23:27] I have docker running, with this errors, but I don't think that is the problem: https://dpaste.org/9YqC [23:28] also this: https://dpaste.org/bzA0 [23:29] I've found this thread: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 so I tried disabling that [23:29] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 196683 in Spam "Random Soft Lockup on new Ryzen build" [Normal,Closed: obsolete] [23:29] eth0 is the old naming scheme [23:30] also my network card is not eth0 [23:30] the new naming is a breeze, certainly for cloud and vm works [23:30] enp35s0: flags=4163 mtu 1500 [23:30] that is my network card [23:31] is there a way to enable some kind of kernel dump ?
