| truexfan81 | ok one of my game server things has a binary called "gs" my question is why is it that on ubuntu 20.04.2 when i do "pkill -9 gs" xorg crashes? | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | truexfan81: what happens if you use a kinder signal? | 01:15 |
| truexfan81 | i'll try it and see but i'm guessing more of a delay before it crashes | 01:16 |
| truexfan81 | ok killall works nicely | 01:18 |
| truexfan81 | next question which package will give me libstdc++.so.5? | 01:19 |
| sarnold | libstdc++5: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.5 | 01:19 |
| truexfan81 | thank you | 01:25 |
| truexfan81 | and i have found packages.ubuntu.com, and just found a package my game needs that the site can't find: libpcre.so.0 | 01:25 |
| sarnold | truexfan81: wow, uh, that might be harder to track down. | 01:33 |
| sarnold | truexfan81: so.. this is fishing .. but https://abi-laboratory.pro/index.php?view=timeline&l=pcre suggests soname of 0 is 2011 timeframe | 01:34 |
| sarnold | 8.21 | 01:34 |
| sarnold | truexfan81: and I don't see 8.21 on http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/ -- 8.12 is close. maybe try one of those? | 01:35 |

| shachaf | If you select "Erase entire disk" in Ubuntu, and you have multiple disks, how does it decide which one to erase? | 06:50 |
| shachaf | It doesn't look like it asks about it before getting to the "Install now" button. | 06:51 |
| shachaf | I mean in the installer. | 06:51 |
| EriC^^ | shachaf: i'd use the "something else" option in the bottom and manually partition | 07:12 |
| guiverc | shachaf, I usually use 'something else' so I have full control, but some selections then provide picture where you select (via click) but I can't recall as most installs I do have only a single disk | 07:12 |
| foxbox | Hey all | 07:19 |
| shachaf | EriC^^, guiverc: But "something else" doesn't let you do disk encryption, right? | 07:30 |
| shachaf | We resolved the situation by disabling one of the drivers in the BIOS. | 07:31 |
| shachaf | But the fact that disk encryption is all-or-nothing is very frustrating. | 07:31 |
| guiverc | shachaf, older releases did have partition encryption (options), but it was dropped as full-disk-encryption is more secure | 07:32 |
| shachaf | In what sense is it more secure? Doesn't it just set up LVM inside LUKS anyway, like you'd do for a partition? | 07:33 |
| guiverc | my current install was a partition installation with encryption (artful/17.10; ecryptfs) | 07:37 |

| Kexoni | hi, I have dualboot. Windows is on SSD, Ubuntu is on hard drive. Is it possible to remove SSD drive with Windows without need to reinstal Ubuntu? | 12:08 |
| RonaldsMazitis | Kexoni: probably | 12:09 |
| RonaldsMazitis | Kexoni: google first page could give answer faster | 12:10 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I just suspect You are using grub loader on regular hdd, so having no windows ssd would just error just if You would load windows obviously | 12:11 |
| Kexoni | I think that grub is on SSD | 12:14 |
| Kexoni | SSD is first boot device | 12:14 |
| RonaldsMazitis | but dude, grub is ubuntu thing | 12:15 |
| RonaldsMazitis | You can arrange boot devices in menu | 12:16 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: are you booted into ubuntu right now? | 12:17 |
| Kexoni | yes I am EriC^^ | 12:17 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: type what does 'ls /sys/firmware/efi' give you? | 12:18 |
| cbreak | efi? legacy boot? | 12:18 |
| EriC^^ | does it say no dir found, or gives a bunch of dirs back? | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 12:19 |
| Kexoni | no such file or directory, EriC^^ | 12:19 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: ok, it means you're using legacy, so probably grub is in the ubuntu mbr, unless you're unlucky and it's in the windows ssd, you could enter the bios and see which disk is set to boot first | 12:21 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: actually type 'sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999' | 12:22 |

| Kexoni | thanks guys | 12:26 |
| Kexoni | I will try to backup current Ubuntu files | 12:26 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I don't think You can loose files by taking out ssd | 12:27 |
| Kexoni | after this I will remove Windows/SSD, try repair or completely reinstall Ubuntu | 12:27 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: you could install ubuntu preemptively to the hdd, run the command i gave to know its disk name to install grub to it | 12:27 |
| EriC^^ | that way even if it turns out to be on the ssd when you remove it you'd still be able to boot into ubuntu easily | 12:27 |
| Kexoni | ok, just a sec | 12:28 |
| Kexoni | EriC^^, https://termbin.com/qob9 | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | Kexoni: type 'sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdb' | 12:35 |

| EriC^^ | Kexoni: ok, run 'sudo update-grub' for good measure and you should be good | 12:40 |

| RonaldsMazitis | that is speaking to anyone that knows how to use vpn on ubuntu | 13:02 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: so what's your question now that you found the openconnect documentation on how to run it without root? | 13:04 |
| RonaldsMazitis | the tips they gave to run it without root does not work | 13:06 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I have tun device made, config made arguments for the terminal command | 13:06 |
| tomreyn | "does not work" how? | 13:06 |
| RonaldsMazitis | Failed to bind local tun device (TUNSETIFF): Device or resource busy | 13:08 |
| tomreyn | what's the commands you were running, on a pastebin if more than 2 lines, and what's the complete output you got? | 13:09 |
| tomreyn | and did you replace "dwmw2" from the example by the name of your user? | 13:10 |
| RonaldsMazitis | yeah | 13:12 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I'm restarting virtualmachine | 13:12 |
| RonaldsMazitis | openconnect -i vpn0 -s /bin/true vpn.server. | 13:15 |
| tomreyn | and which software and version is running on your remote vpn endpoint? | 13:17 |
| tomreyn | and is "Failed to bind local tun device (TUNSETIFF): Device or resource busy" the only output you get when you run the above command? | 13:18 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I don''t know about endpoint | 13:20 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: then how are you hoping to connect to it using a specific protocol? | 13:24 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I have bigger problem | 13:26 |
| RonaldsMazitis | there was no vboxsf group | 13:26 |
| RonaldsMazitis | so I can't access shared folder | 13:27 |
| RonaldsMazitis | even thought I created vboxsf group | 13:27 |
| RonaldsMazitis | and added user to it | 13:27 |
| cbreak | I've been using wireguard recently. That doesn't even run as root, it runs in the kernel itself :D | 13:29 |
| tomreyn | i think RonaldsMazitis needs to first understand that you don't normally just install any vpn software and will thus be able to tunnel your traffic through somewhere. | 13:31 |

| RonaldsMazitis | I could log in by pressing on other users | 13:33 |
| tomreyn | that's way too imprecise to enable anyone to comment. | 13:34 |
| RonaldsMazitis | and writing down the name | 13:34 |
| RonaldsMazitis | but when I logged in, I could not use sudo with same password I logged in | 13:34 |
| tomreyn | also, you're reporting being hacked on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, this is hardly related to realitiy, unless you keep repeating the same mistakes, using weak passwords on internet connected services or known insecure protocols and configurations. | 13:35 |
| RonaldsMazitis | that was virtulbox so it was not so bad | 13:36 |
| RonaldsMazitis | but now I'm having problems with it too | 13:36 |
| RonaldsMazitis | vboxsf group is not apperently used by virtualbox | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | virtualbox's channel is #vbox | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | but oly use it if you're using their distribution | 13:37 |
| tomreyn | but there, too, you won't get far unless you'll share more details. | 13:38 |

| cbreak | they might not be, in which case you'll not find a mountpoint | 13:43 |
| strk | cbreak: I don't think they are mounted | 13:43 |
| strk | probably the filemanager does it in some other way | 13:44 |

| shangul | Hello. After a full upgrade of all packages including kernel(apt upgrade), I have a huge RAM usage(2.8G out of ~4.0G) and `top` shows no high RAM usage of any process(all do fine). I also have installed some older kernels(5.4.0-39 and 5.4.0-62) and tried booting the system with them but makes no difference. I also tried disabling a few kernel modules(btrfs, xfs and jfs) which were eating more RAM | 16:04 |
| shangul | comparing to the other modules and still no luck. xUbuntu 20.04 is used on my laptop. Note that the RAM is not used for buffering and caching but for something else according to what "free" reports. | 16:04 |

| Habbie | sybariten, i've done that for CDs (and also for floppies) - it's really just a few lines of shell | 18:52 |
| Habbie | especially convenient if your CD drive supports ejection from software | 18:52 |

| oerheks | and username can be shortened with $USER | 22:20 |
| Febass | oerheks: It is returning a seg fault | 22:39 |
| Febass | it says that the directory that I have pointing to it as path is not valid, but, it is | 22:39 |
| VMGuy23 | try halfing the backslashes | 22:39 |
| Febass | The tutorial calls for forward slashes for this specific line, actually | 22:40 |
| VMGuy23 | This is escaping spaces or other backslashes because Windows uses backslashes for paths. | 22:41 |
| VMGuy23 | but it doesnt need to escape the escaper | 22:41 |
| Febass | hmmm? | 22:41 |
| Febass | Yeah | 22:42 |
| VMGuy23 | so try halfing the backslashes and see if it works. | 22:42 |
| Febass | oh I see | 22:42 |
| VMGuy23 | so instead of \\, you have \, and instead of \\\\, you have \\ | 22:43 |
