[01:37] <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?
[01:40] <Bashing-om> jsw971: Seems "python-paramiko" is not an ubuntu package - where did it originate ? ' apt policy python-paramiko '.
[01:41] <Bashing-om> !info python-paramiko fical | jsw971
[01:41] <Bashing-om> !info python-paramiko focal | jsw971
[01:42] <jsw971> This was working fine until 30 minutes ago.
[01:42] <jsw971> I guess more like 40 minutes ago now.
[01:43] <jsw971> All I had to do to install ansible before was "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt install ansible".
[01:46] <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.
[02:05] <kryten> jsw971: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ansible - what you state doesn't seem to match what I'm seeing here though.
[02:07] <jsw971> kryten: how so?
[02:09] <kryten> Just try to validate your last message by using the page I linked.
[02:10] <jsw971> Do you see a "python-paramiko" package on that page?
[02:11] <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.
[02:12] <gry|2> i think jsw971 and ubottu agree on that the pytohn-paramiko package is not found
[02:14] <gry|2> jsw971: what ubuntu version are you running? the linked page says python3-paramiko is just fine
[02:14] <gry|2> and ansible can use it
[02:14] <jsw971> Right.  I'm was using ppa:ansible/ansible which references the old python-paramiko page.
[02:14] <jsw971> I'm running focal.
[02:16] <jsw971> page -> package
[02:27] <kryten> jsw971: Looking through that PPA a little, it'd seem you've been falling back to using the version in the official repos before.
[02:51] <dub66> Hey, I'm having some issues with nVidia drivers on a new install of Xubuntu. I'm currently using the open source driver because the proprietary driver fails to load. Also, I've noticed that when reinstalling the nvidia-driver-460 package DKMS returns `Good news! Module version 460.39 for nvidia-drm.ko exactly matches what is already found in kernel 5.4.0-67-generic. DKMS will not replace this module. You may override by specifying
[02:51] <dub66> --force.`
[03:02] <jrm> I'm trying to install 20.0.4 desktop.  The installer runs fine, but stalls at 'Running "update-grub"'.  My search-foo is failing me.  Is this a known problem?  Is there a solution?
[03:21] <runelind_q> not ubuntu specific, but I'm trying to delete all lines from  file with the word secret in them, but sed '/secret/d' doesn't seem to match anything
[03:21] <runelind_q> (I specified the file name after the sed command)
[03:23] <runelind_q> grep -i does match on the relevant lines
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> runelind_q: try ##linux if its not ubuntu specific
[03:29] <runelind_q> thanks I'll try there.
[03:50] <gry|2> runelind_q: what about 'grep -v' ?
[03:51] <runelind_q> it was user error, needed to specify sed -i to actually delete the lines
[03:51] <semitones_tea> how does tab know how to complete ` sudo apt install foo- ` into something useful? Does it intelligently apt search?
[03:54] <gry|2> semitones_tea: hi
[03:55] <gry|2> semitones_tea: do you have a " /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt  " file on your system?
[03:55] <gry|2> semitones_tea: if yes, then what does it have inside of it?
[03:55] <semitones_tea> hmm good question let me look
[03:57] <semitones_tea> whoa there's tons of cool stuff here. THanks gry|2 !
[03:58] <semitones_tea> it has all kinds of logic for what to try completing
[04:20] <gry|2> semitones_tea: nice :-)
[05:59] <radue> anybody knows how to access #ubuntu-beginners? It says you need an invite, but i cannot find anything online on it, does the channel still exist?
[06:00] <ISOLIFE> I need help
[06:02] <ISOLIFE> already install vsftpd and apache2
[06:05] <ISOLIFE> what must be settings in /etc/vsftpd.conf to access all to hard drive
[06:11] <guiverc> radue, I'm not aware of the channel, and don't see it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList so it maybe a temporary group setup for a specific purpose/class etc
[06:16] <radue> guiverc: i know it's very old, years old channel, i used it in the past - maybe it's not used anymore
[06:28] <Kilos> oh my, a full irc channel. morning from south africa guys
[06:36] <TaZeR> irc is da place to be wattup cuz
[07:16] <meandrain> hi, any idea in which config file do I modify this values?   "crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M"    for kernel crash dumps ?
[07:21] <Voxel> Hey all :)
[07:22] <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`
[07:23] <Voxel> I've asked on KDE Neon IRC channel, but after a day - no messages there at all.
[07:24] <Voxel> Is it possible to check what interferes with a release upgrade?
[07:25] <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
[07:26] <dirtwash> they forgot to include that in the build?
[07:26] <Voxel> I've checked different resources, but nothing..
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <dirtwash> that path doesnt even exist
[07:29] <dirtwash> im surprised note verything else crashed
[07:29] <Voxel> Although, Oh
[07:30] <Voxel> Is there any logs of upgrading?
[07:30] <dirtwash> apt logs sure
[07:31] <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
[07:32] <dirtwash> well technically its a ubuntu package isue
[07:32] <dirtwash> just surprised nobody seen this yet
[07:35] <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
[07:36] <dirtwash> ThinkT510:got some input on my kernel issue? wonder if someone can confirm this
[07:41] <dirtwash> hm fixed by reinstalling modules package and reinserting kernel modules, WEIRD
[08:14] <ruenoak> Hi all is there another way to report a bug on 21.04 running ubuntu-bug  application-name  just closes the bug report with know message.
[08:43] <tuxinator> Good morning, just to let people know, if using Ubuntu 18.04 and Apache remoteip Module, it seems that it is broken, correct config, in my case upgrade to 20.04 was the only option.
[08:45] <tuxinator> found a Bugreport on Launchpad but not the exact same type, i think people hitting that issue should be told to update
[08:45] <tuxinator> "upgrade"
[09:34] <cvl> Hey guys, any ideas how to get mixed DPI working on 20.10?
[09:34] <cvl> No matter how I tries, it keeps breaking vmware integration and displaying extra cursors
[10:04] <ragouel> Hello guys
[10:04] <ragouel> and gals
[10:04] <ragouel> does anyone know the equivalent local7 centos command for ubuntu ?
[10:05] <geirha> what does the local7 command do?
[10:06] <ragouel> it's part of rsyslog local0-7 it's used for logging purposes
[10:38] <derpadmin> ragouel, try logger
[10:39] <derpadmin> but I cannot find a manpage for local7
[10:40] <derpadmin> but local7 is a syslog facility, not a command
[11:00] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:00] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[11:01] <silv3r_m00n> i shall get a new windows 10 laptop and need to install ubuntu alongside windows, with encryption, what are my options and which one is the easiest ?
[11:01] <silv3r_m00n> i tried reading some online tutorials, but it seems that encrypting ubuntu alongside windows a messy business
[11:07] <madflash> hi guys
[11:09] <Veidit> Good day. I am an old person using chroot but I am now looking now at cgroups/cgroups2? My need is to limit a uid/user to run a few specific binaries (nginx/php-fpm) but have their local storage over nfs so I don't see Docker/LXE as a solution in this case.
[11:12] <tuxinator> Veidit: well on apache i think suexec would be a good option
[11:13] <Veidit> tuxinator: That is a valid way, thanks. Will look
[11:16] <Veidit> tuxinator: I would prefer Nginx though.
[11:19] <Veidit> tuxinator: This looks right for me: https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/cgroup2/docs/overview
[11:25] <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
[11:27] <tuxinator> actually they are a good team
[11:27] <madflash19> is there a way to get highlighted text in a variable (vimscript)
[11:28] <tuxinator> Veidit: a very good comparison: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/apache-vs-nginx-practical-considerations
[11:48] <vimart> What the file is equivalent for .bashrc in buntu20.04, need set NNTPSERVER Path.
[11:55] <romo> hey guys I'm trying to put Xubuntu 20.04 on a Notebook. Already did so a couple of times but I can't get the fn keys to work and if the screen blanks due to user inactivity while installing it will not come back and install fails. brightness is becoming a real problem. is this a known issue?
[11:57] <faceface> hello
[11:57] <faceface> what is /sbin/init splash?
[11:57] <faceface> I thought it was the 'login' screen, so I enabled a different runlevel
[11:57] <faceface> however, I still see it
[11:58] <faceface> I'm running ubuntu under a vm, and I dist-upgraded to 20 and now it doesn't boot right
[11:58] <faceface> I'm using virt-manager
[11:58] <faceface> it used to boot to login prompt
[11:58] <faceface> now it just shows an error... I have to send Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login there
[11:59] <faceface> its' not a big deal, I just want to understand what I broke during dist upgrade
[11:59] <nuala> vimart: should still be the same? are you lookign for something like this? https://askubuntu.com/questions/178968/how-to-configure-ntp-time-synchronization-on-a-server
[11:59] <faceface> I just tried `sudo systemctl set-default multi-user`
[11:59] <faceface> after reboot, the same issue
[12:00] <romo> vimart: like nuala stated - I'm unaware of .bashrc not working. if it isn't present have you tried creating one?
[12:01] <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...
[12:04] <faceface> what the heck does this have to do with plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
[12:09] <faceface> OK, seems I fixed it by doing this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/33416/how-do-i-disable-the-boot-splash-screen-and-only-show-kernel-and-boot-text-inst
[12:11] <faceface> so, the fact that I had graphical boot on this server box at all is a bit weird... I didn't add any desktop at all (installed from mini.iso)
[12:14] <faceface> Where can I find what desktop I have installed?
[12:14] <faceface> (As I said, I'm not expecting any)
[12:50] <Nothing4You> is there a way to permit a user to do dynamic tcp forwarding but not remote forwarding? i'm trying to make it possible for users to use ssh as proxy without them being able to do anything else on the machine, so i don't want them to be able to set up arbitrary listening ports
[12:51] <Nothing4You> nevermind, just realized AllowTcpForwarding takes non-bool values
[14:01] <floown> Hello

[14:04] <leftyfb> floown: maybe try ##mysql ?
[14:07] <floown> leftyfb: it doesn't work
[14:07] <leftyfb> floown: /join ##mysql
[14:07] <floown> Ah ok
[14:17] <agvantibo> Hello. I am trying to configure GRUB with the Ubuntu Mono font, and I've managed to create a font with `grub-mkfont`, and configure GRUB to use it, but it apparently has great trouble with the Unicode characters that make up the frame of the menu. Please suggest a solution that either combines a full-Unicode font with Ubuntu mono to create an Unicode-capable font, or makes GRUB use a fallback font in that case.
[14:38] <agvantibo> H-hey?
[15:03] <franks2> How can i disable "autoremove" of packages
[15:03] <kobold> hi! what's the default mount point of thunar? I can't find any mounted folder in either /mnt or /media, but I can still access the phone in thunar.
[15:03] <kobold> (sitting on xfce4 system, probably xubuntu)
[15:18] <remline> franks2: You can mark the packages as "manually" installed. I believe simply doing "apt install package-name" will mark it as manually installed, even if it is already installed.
[15:19] <franks2> remline: aha, thank you. apt-mark manual packgae-name did the trick
[15:23] <remline> kobold: Is it in /run/media?
[15:37] <leftyfb> remline: it's probably mounted with MTP
[15:47] <LiftLeft> https://paste.ee/p/PYzDi Ethernet is disabled for some reason
[15:47] <LiftLeft> how do I re enable it?
[15:48] <LiftLeft> could docker be messing with it?
[15:48] <LiftLeft> I had ip range problems with docker
[15:50] <LiftLeft> I tried that and ran sudo systemctl restart network-manager
[15:50] <LiftLeft> I disabled docker and stopped it
[15:56] <Marco-123> hi all. on Linux Mint here. i just ran `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` with the intention of installing a better nvidia driver. result: seems to have lost me many drivers. network, video, and more. how can i repair these drivers or ask Mint to reinstall its default ones?
[15:57] <oer> change to the real ubuntu, or seek help in the mint channels?
[15:57] <oer> !mint
[15:58] <oer> mint has its own issues

[16:18] <node1> Hi

[16:23] <oer>  speech recognition application for ubuntu that act as keyboard, never heard of that one
[16:25] <oer> there are snaps; saya-speech, glate, in snapcraft.io
[16:31] <node1> okay thanks
[16:41] <peterj> guys i have fup my system by running some crazy script from the internet.. i think the files are there but `ls` etc. don't show anything in any directory, i can `cd` into the directories i remember. when i enter the system, it says `Structure needs cleaning`. fsck, e2fsck etc. commands give me "Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get
[16:41] <peterj> the Python codec of the filesystem encoding"
[16:42] <peterj> is there anyway to fix the system? it is running ubuntu 20.04 in wsl2
[16:42] <peterj> can i mount his drive in another wsl2 instance and repair it..?
[17:10] <leftyfb> peterj: what script did you run?
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <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)
[17:29] <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.
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <leftyfb> peterj: if you can mount the drive in linux, you can use something like photrec to try to recover some things
[17:32] <leftyfb> peterj: future reference, important data should be backed up. If it's not, it wasn't important
[17:35] <peterj> leftyfb: you really believe that huh?
[17:35] <leftyfb> peterj: it's not a belief.
[17:36] <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?
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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
[17:55] <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] <cws> It's simply a fact.
[17:57] <lordcirth_> If only life were so simple
[17:59] <cws> Life is that simple if you back your stuff up. :)
[18:10] <phao> Hi... Why is color settings associated to brightness and contrast in ubuntu is in the zoom panel in accessibility?
[18:10] <phao> I mean... What does it have to do with zooming? hehe
[18:12] <phao> The actual color section in settings has nothing about that. This seems weird.
[18:30] <jpmh> in days gone by I believe I remember there was  "guest" user that had no password - is it possible to set up such a user today
[18:33] <ioria> jpmh, with lightdm maybe (not with gdm)
[18:35] <rakyah> Hey hey people, Ive been trying to mess around with my laptop, running Arch on Wayland. Ive got a server setup, which runs Ubuntu Server, but whenever I connect with my laptop over ssh, it times out- My desktop on the other hand has a very similar Arch setup to my laptop, though that one can connect just fine. I also cant mount my NAS anymore on the laptop, whch does also works fine on my desktop
[18:36] <jpmh> ioria: I should have specified I/we do NOT use any form of GUI
[18:40] <ioria> jpmh, why not a Ephemeral Container ?
[18:41] <jpmh> ioria: that's an interesting idea - however I do not want it to be ephemeral
[18:43] <ioria> jpmh, then it's not a Guest Account
[18:43] <ioria> jpmh, it's just passwordless
[18:48] <jpmh> ioria: as I said - vague memory - YES - tat's what I want - how do I do that, if I can
[18:49] <ioria> jpmh, i'd say with console autologin, probably
[18:49] <jpmh> ioria: meaning?
[18:51] <ioria> jpmh, https://selivan.github.io/2017/12/27/console-autologin-systemd-ubuntu.html
[18:51] <jpmh> ioria: TY - heading there now
[18:53] <jpmh> ioria: That was EXACTLY what I needed thatnk you so much
[18:54] <ioria> ok
[19:29] <cart_man> So I have found a bug that is unbelievabley anoying! Its just I dont know where to post it. It happens only if I have the Nvidia drivers installed that is not the Nouvea drivers. When I switch between Virtual desktops it will break and render everything without windows and I cant close anything. I basically have to restart. So where do I report this? Nvidia ? Plasma? Ubuntu?
[19:31] <dub66> You can make a bug report here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs). You can try to make a bug report on the nVidia forums but they aren't very helpful. (https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-unix-graphics/linux/148)
[19:34] <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/)
[19:59] <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.
[20:03] <sarnold> Grievre: afaik that doesn't exist, you'll probably have to do the source file -> binary packages mapping yourself if you want that
[20:13] <Grievre> sarnold: bleh :( thanks
[20:25] <bored_user> hey, asuming I've got a question regarding ubuntu server, is this the right place?
[20:26] <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?
[20:27] <sarnold> bored_user: there's also an #ubuntu-server channel
[20:27] <sarnold> Onceuponaban: does dmesg work? or is that busted too?
[20:28] <Onceuponaban> dmesg is busted as well.
[20:28] <Onceuponaban> Same error.
[20:28] <sarnold> dang
[20:28] <sarnold> how about journalctl -k ?
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <gordonjcp> Onceuponaban: your hard disk is dying
[20:31] <ioria> Onceuponaban, ournalctl -b 0 | grep -i ata[0-9]
[20:32] <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 :(
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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/
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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
[20:38] <ioria> Onceuponaban, try to change the port , then the cable, then the disk is done
[20:40] <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.
[20:41] <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 ?
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <sarnold> Onceuponaban: hit sysrq + s, sysrq + u, sysrq + b  keys
[20:43] <sarnold> that'll sync, then unmount, then reboot
[20:44] <ioria>  Onceuponaban or ctrl+alt+canc (or del)
[20:44] <Onceuponaban> Would that work through ssh?
[20:45] <sarnold> no; you can poke sysrq vis /proc/sysrq-trigger but that requires ... a root shell.
[20:46] <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
[21:17] <Zuroger-KUB20> Hi
[21:18] <Zuroger-KUB20> Does ubuntu have some kind of tool to quickly snoop every modification done by the user ?
[21:19] <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?
[21:22] <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.
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <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.
[21:37] <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?
[21:46] <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
[22:37] <robertparkerx> when you start a console what path are you in? it looks like ~/
[22:40] <oerheks> pwd
[22:40] <sarnold> robertparkerx: check DEFAULT_HOME in login(1)
[22:41] <oerheks> pwd gives the path you are on
[22:41] <oerheks> present working dorectory
[22:57] <robertparkerx> ty
[22:57] <robertparkerx> I will tell you the truth because I don't know much... I thought it was a joke and would display my password
[22:57] <robertparkerx> maybe you will laugh
[22:57] <oerheks> no, i questioned it myself too
[23:17] <robertparkerx> aren't ssl cert instant if you issue them from lets encrypt?
[23:17] <robertparkerx> I'm new to this bash script and its automating some process
[23:19] <sarnold> I've not set up LE msyelf but I'd certainly expect them to be valid immediately
[23:19] <dub66> I would as well. I'm trying to verify right now.
