| jsw971 | Installing ansible on focal using apt stopped working about 30 minutes ago because python-paramiko can't be installed. Is there a channel where this might be being discussed? | 01:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | jsw971: Seems "python-paramiko" is not an ubuntu package - where did it originate ? ' apt policy python-paramiko '. | 01:40 |
| Bashing-om | !info python-paramiko fical | jsw971 | 01:41 |
| ubottu | jsw971: 'fical' is not a valid distribution: bionic, bionic-backports, bionic-proposed, cosmic, cosmic-backports, cosmic-proposed, disco, disco-backports, disco-proposed, eoan, eoan-backports, eoan-proposed, focal, focal-backports, focal-proposed, groovy, groovy-backports, groovy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-propo | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | !info python-paramiko focal | jsw971 | 01:41 |
| ubottu | jsw971: Package python-paramiko does not exist in focal | 01:41 |
| jsw971 | This was working fine until 30 minutes ago. | 01:42 |
| jsw971 | I guess more like 40 minutes ago now. | 01:42 |
| jsw971 | All I had to do to install ansible before was "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt install ansible". | 01:43 |
| jsw971 | My guess is that "python-paramiko" was removed for some reason. I do see that there's a "python3-paramiko", but ansible doesn't use it. | 01:46 |

| === vlm_ is now known as vlm | ||
| kryten | Maybe you want to re-read your own message.. | 02:11 |
| jsw971 | The message said that there's no python-paramiko package, but there is a python3-paramiko package. | 02:11 |
| gry|2 | i think jsw971 and ubottu agree on that the pytohn-paramiko package is not found | 02:12 |
| gry|2 | jsw971: what ubuntu version are you running? the linked page says python3-paramiko is just fine | 02:14 |

| Voxel | Hey all :) | 07:21 |
| Voxel | Why would Ubuntu based distro tell `Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.` after running `sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade` | 07:22 |
| Voxel | I've asked on KDE Neon IRC channel, but after a day - no messages there at all. | 07:23 |
| Voxel | Is it possible to check what interferes with a release upgrade? | 07:24 |
| dirtwash | can someone confirm that iptables is broken on lts 20.04 5.4.0-64-generic? | 07:25 |
| dirtwash | because after kernel upgrade and reboot I get: ERROR: problem running iptables: modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:191 kmod_module_parse_depline() ctx=0x55cd0571b2a0 path=/lib/modules/5.4.0-64-generic/kernel/net/netfilter/x_tables.ko error=No such file or directory | 07:25 |
| Voxel | #define broken | 07:25 |
| dirtwash | they forgot to include that in the build? | 07:26 |
| Voxel | I've checked different resources, but nothing.. | 07:26 |
| dirtwash | im on latest packages: All packages are up to date. | 07:27 |
| Voxel | dirtwash, have you reinstalled iptables? | 07:27 |
| Voxel | tried, I meant | 07:27 |
| dirtwash | Voxel:no? did a standard apt upgrade like always and needed to do a reboot today anyway | 07:27 |
| dirtwash | it says iptables is installed | 07:28 |
| Voxel | I see | 07:28 |
| Voxel | What if reinstalled? | 07:28 |
| dirtwash | besides that error says the kernel module file is missing | 07:28 |
| Voxel | Like backed up and purged | 07:28 |
| dirtwash | that path doesnt even exist | 07:29 |
| dirtwash | im surprised note verything else crashed | 07:29 |
| Voxel | Although, Oh | 07:29 |
| Voxel | Is there any logs of upgrading? | 07:30 |
| dirtwash | apt logs sure | 07:30 |
| Voxel | Perhaps, there may be a line describing the issue. Consider greping the `iptables` string | 07:31 |
| dirtwash | no this is a kernel issue | 07:31 |
| dirtwash | i ask in kernel chan | 07:31 |
| dirtwash | nvm | 07:31 |
| dirtwash | well technically its a ubuntu package isue | 07:32 |
| dirtwash | just surprised nobody seen this yet | 07:32 |
| ThinkT510 | Voxel: KDE Neon is not an official Ubuntu release so cannot be supported here | 07:35 |
| Voxel | obviously... | 07:35 |
| Voxel | Have a great day then | 07:35 |
| dirtwash | ThinkT510:got some input on my kernel issue? wonder if someone can confirm this | 07:36 |
| dirtwash | hm fixed by reinstalling modules package and reinserting kernel modules, WEIRD | 07:41 |

| tuxinator | Veidit: well on apache i think suexec would be a good option | 11:12 |
| Veidit | tuxinator: That is a valid way, thanks. Will look | 11:13 |

| Veidit | tuxinator: This looks right for me: https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/cgroup2/docs/overview | 11:19 |
| tuxinator | nginx is ok, however you should always know there are reasons why many times nginx is in front of apache, Apache -> Monster, features/modules Nginx will probably never have, but if you don't need a lot Nginx makes sense | 11:25 |

| faceface | I just tried `sudo systemctl set-default multi-user` | 11:59 |
| faceface | after reboot, the same issue | 11:59 |
| romo | vimart: like nuala stated - I'm unaware of .bashrc not working. if it isn't present have you tried creating one? | 12:00 |
| faceface | > you are runnning ubuntu which uses systemd, which allows you to display a splash screen during boot, this is why it has the splash argument | 12:01 |
| faceface | I don't want that splash... | 12:01 |
| faceface | what the heck does this have to do with plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text | 12:04 |

| peterj | the Python codec of the filesystem encoding" | 16:41 |

| === Scotty_Trees is now known as ScottyDoesntKnow | ||
| leftyfb | peterj: what script did you run? | 17:10 |
| peterj | leftyfb, i was experimenting with grub-mkrescue and found a script from the internet, which in the end did this: "sudo dd if=grub.iso of=/dev/sdd".. i didn't realized until i pressed ENTER -.- | 17:27 |
| leftyfb | peterj: that writes that iso to your entire drive | 17:27 |
| peterj | just 6 MB is overwritten actually | 17:28 |
| leftyfb | peterj: you are better off re-installing and restoring from backup | 17:28 |
| peterj | so the system is still somewhat working (i can `cd` into directories, but `ls` doesn't show anything) | 17:28 |
| peterj | i need to recover the data or repair the disk | 17:29 |
| peterj | whichever is possible | 17:29 |
| peterj | but i need data. | 17:29 |
| peterj | in WSL2, it is a VHDX image on windows, that contains ext4 filesystem / drive for ubuntu. | 17:29 |
| leftyfb | peterj: you didn't have a backup of your important data? | 17:30 |
| peterj | so i was hoping to find a tool which can recover filesystem in virtual drive | 17:30 |
| leftyfb | peterj: if you can mount the drive in linux, you can use something like photrec to try to recover some things | 17:31 |
| leftyfb | peterj: future reference, important data should be backed up. If it's not, it wasn't important | 17:32 |
| peterj | leftyfb: you really believe that huh? | 17:35 |
| leftyfb | peterj: it's not a belief. | 17:35 |
| peterj | yes, it's an unrealistic so-call "best practice" is what it is.. | 17:36 |
| leftyfb | peterj: unrealistic? I can't just run an rsync script on a cron every night? | 17:36 |
| leftyfb | peterj: I backup 10 different machines to 2 locations on a bi-nighly basis. Once a year I take a backup of one of those backup locations and store in a secure location. All photos and video are backed up to 5 different online services | 17:38 |
| leftyfb | it's less time to create a backup then it is to recover without a backup | 17:39 |
| leftyfb | it's also more realistic to restore from a backup than to restore without a backup | 17:39 |
| cws | peterj: It's neither a belief nor a best practice. If you didn't back it up, then it wasn't important enough for you to worry about its loss. Period. | 17:55 |

| dub66 | Making a bug report on KDE's platform could be helpful as well but they will probably redirect you to nVidia or tell you there is nothing you can do because it is a driver issue. (https://bugs.kde.org/) | 19:34 |
| Grievre | Hi all. I'm faced with the annoying task of finding out which installed packages on a system are licensed under GPL or LGPL that is not relicensable to a newer version. Is there an easy way to do this? /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright is not always machine-readable, and for packages with multiple licenses it only tells you which source files those licenses apply to, not which binary packages. | 19:59 |

| sarnold | Grievre: afaik that doesn't exist, you'll probably have to do the source file -> binary packages mapping yourself if you want that | 20:03 |
| Grievre | sarnold: bleh :( thanks | 20:13 |

| bored_user | hey, asuming I've got a question regarding ubuntu server, is this the right place? | 20:25 |
| Onceuponaban | Hello. I am running Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a machine which I'm pretty sure is having some kind of hardware issues (random freezes, leading to no display output and being unable to remote in using SSH, only fix being a hard reboot). Due to this, I tried to compress a specific folder for it to be sent to another machine, however in the middle of | 20:26 |
| Onceuponaban | compressing said folder to somewhere on the system drive, it printed an error claiming said drive was read only and exited. Most commands (including even ls if used on the system drive) now error out with the message "Input/output error". What's happening here and how can I fix this? | 20:26 |
| sarnold | bored_user: there's also an #ubuntu-server channel | 20:27 |
| sarnold | Onceuponaban: does dmesg work? or is that busted too? | 20:27 |
| Onceuponaban | dmesg is busted as well. | 20:28 |
| Onceuponaban | Same error. | 20:28 |
| sarnold | dang | 20:28 |
| sarnold | how about journalctl -k ? | 20:28 |
| Onceuponaban | That one did work, revealing a lot of errors | 20:30 |
| Onceuponaban | ...and I was about to use termbin.com to paste the output but nc errors out as well | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | Onceuponaban: your hard disk is dying | 20:31 |
| ioria | Onceuponaban, ournalctl -b 0 | grep -i ata[0-9] | 20:31 |
| ioria | Onceuponaban, journalctl -b 0 | grep -i ata[0-9] | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | Onceuponaban: now is the time to activate your Disaster Recovery Plan, as they say in Strasbourg | 20:32 |
| sarnold | heh :( | 20:32 |
| sarnold | Onceuponaban: any chance you copy-paste the text through your terminal / tmux / screen etc to paste it via another machine? | 20:33 |
| sarnold | Onceuponaban: chances are very good it's just as gordonjcp says, your hardware is likely failing, but it'd be nice to get those errors all the same | 20:33 |
| gordonjcp | sarnold: and specifically hard disk | 20:34 |
| Onceuponaban | Output of the command ioria provided (more than could fit on the screen so only the last lines): https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WQbpykMCDH/ | 20:34 |
| sarnold | it could also be power supply, sata controller, something else.. it's hard to be certain without swapping out hardware in testing | 20:35 |
| sarnold | definitely try a new hard drive first | 20:35 |
| sarnold | those are usually easy to replace | 20:36 |
| ioria | Onceuponaban, ata3 seems the problem | 20:36 |
| Onceuponaban | could this be happening if the drive became full while compressing the folder? | 20:36 |
| Onceuponaban | (and is otherwise working fine) | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | unlikely | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | it would report that the disk was full | 20:37 |
| Onceuponaban | I see, so I guess my system drive is failing then | 20:37 |
| sarnold | more likely, has already failed | 20:37 |
| Onceuponaban | To be fair it was a fairly old SSD | 20:37 |
| Onceuponaban | so that would make sense | 20:37 |
| ioria | Onceuponaban, try to change the port , then the cable, then the disk is done | 20:38 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | Hello | 20:40 |
| Onceuponaban | I'm now glad I made sure that the system drive didn't host any actual data | 20:40 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | I was wondering about the modern private streaming server practices that are good now? | 20:40 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | I need a server on LAN that I can feed OBS recorder into. | 20:40 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | So that others can watch the stream with VLC, for example. | 20:41 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | Other clients in LAN too. | 20:41 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | I was told I need this NGINX thing or something, or RTMP ? | 20:41 |
| Onceuponaban | ...slight issue: how do I stop the computer given that sudo is also erroring out so I can't elevate myself to root to use shutdown? | 20:42 |
| sarnold | Onceuponaban: hit sysrq + s, sysrq + u, sysrq + b keys | 20:43 |
| sarnold | that'll sync, then unmount, then reboot | 20:43 |
| ioria | Onceuponaban or ctrl+alt+canc (or del) | 20:44 |
| Onceuponaban | Would that work through ssh? | 20:44 |
| sarnold | no; you can poke sysrq vis /proc/sysrq-trigger but that requires ... a root shell. | 20:45 |
| sarnold | if you don't have one of those already open, then you're out of options for semi-clean shutdown | 20:46 |
| Onceuponaban | grabbing my wireless keyboard it is then | 20:46 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | Hi | 21:17 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | Does ubuntu have some kind of tool to quickly snoop every modification done by the user ? | 21:18 |
| Zuroger-KUB20 | Like all the changes I did on the system/root etc, config files modifed manually, etc, so I could see what I did and redo this on a fresh install? | 21:19 |
| sarnold | Zuroger-KUB20: debsums -ec may be able to help, but not all configuratoin files are marked as configuration files because debian is weird around configuration files | 21:22 |
| sarnold | Zuroger-KUB20: check the debconf(7) manpage for 'ssh' for another potential source of site-local configuration changes | 21:22 |
| tomreyn | that's not an easy task. there are auditd, sudo logging, general log file monitoring, file alteration monitoring / tracking (etc, host intrusion detection / prevention), which cover different aspects of this. | 21:22 |
| tomreyn | etckeeper is a way to track configuration changes in /etc/ | 21:23 |
| sarnold | Zuroger-KUB20: it's probably better to monitor these kinds of changes from the start, using something like juju charms or ansible playbooks or use etckeeper religiously etc | 21:23 |
| sarnold | hah, looks like tomreyn didn't have to go looking for the name of etckeeper :) | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | i did, in memory, took me a while :) | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | confguration deployment is a keyword you may want to look up | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | as sarnold said, it's better to take a planned approach to this, you won't have a nice time trying to gather this information after the fact. | 21:25 |
| franks2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/1918935 When a bug goes to "fix commited" how long time does it take before its updated in the package manager? | 21:37 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1918935 in imagemagick (Ubuntu) "convert(1) segfault" [High,Fix committed] | 21:37 |
| sarnold | franks2: as it stands, probably it'll be fixed in 21.04 if debian's version has it fixed, and if debian's version has migrated to ubuntu before the freeze | 21:46 |
| sarnold | franks2: if you want it fixed in 20.04 you'll probably need to prepare an update, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for some advice | 21:46 |

| dub66 | I would as well. I'm trying to verify right now. | 23:19 |
