[00:46] is multipass basically ubuntu's version of docker? [00:56] is there a way to view my local machine's /var/mail/ in thunderbirD? I tried adding "other account" and it says the spool file can't be found. [01:01] Guest7: there's docker(.io) in ubuntu, too [01:02] I only have a few messages at /var/mail/root. I use thunderbird for regular internet email, but I was hoping to just have a local account side by side those accounts, too [01:03] i see but it seems like they are pretty much the same? [01:03] noarb: make an alias for root pointing email to your user [01:03] Guest7: what are you trying to accomplish? [01:09] leftyfb: do you mean at the MTA or MUA level? [01:09] is it just permissions with thunderbird and root? [01:10] noarb: https://askubuntu.com/a/199453/1151311 [01:12] thanks for the link, I was using that answer in my earlier attempts. I'll try adjusting some fields to see if I can get it to work. Now I'm getting spool file can't be found from my regular user, and the only local mail on the system is roots [01:12] I'm not even interested in sending from this account right now, I would just like to see messages in my regular workflow when they appear [01:18] i am just trying to understand what it is [01:19] another question i have is where is the DNS configuration located on ubuntu? I don [01:19] 't see /etc/bind [01:20] Guest7: multipass is used to spin up vm's, typically kvm vm's, but it does support other hypervisors, and utilize cloud-init to customize their network and such [01:21] so it is an actual virtual machine but happens to work with k8s? [01:21] Guest7: as for DNS, ubuntu does not need a DNS server by default. If you're referring to the client resolver, it uses systemd-resolved for a client resolver [01:22] what directory is that in? [01:22] https://github.com/canonical/multipass [01:22] Guest7: multipass is not a VM, it's a tool used to orchestrate spinning up VM's across many hypervisors [01:22] is there a way to record the terminal output in an animation of the bootup process of ubuntu? [01:22] preferably including the bios screen? [01:23] Guest7: back to DNS, what are you looking to configure exactly? Which nameserver is configured? You typically set that either via your DHCP server (router) or if you want to hard code it, use your network settings [01:23] pycurious: run it in a vm, use your preferred video capture software === M4he is now known as mahe [01:24] i just want to know where dns config is stored, the file and the directory where it is [01:24] pycurious: including the BIOS screen, no, not on bare metal. Not unless you use something out of band like pikvm [01:26] Guest7: systemd-resolve --status , you can add |grep "DNS Servers" to get a list of configured nameservers from you network setting [01:26] yes but in which file and directory can i configure all of that stuff? [01:27] Guest7: you configure your nameserver in /etc/netplan/*.cfg [01:27] ok let me check it out [01:27] Guest7: unless you are on a desktop, then you use the built in GUI network manager [01:28] the only file i have in there is 01-network-manager-all.yml [01:28] Guest7: use the built in network manager [01:28] and unfortunately i am not on an ubuntu OS with a GUI [01:29] Guest7: please past the out of this here: cat /etc/os-release | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:30] https://termbin.com/2xbo [01:30] !20.10 | Guest7 [01:30] Guest7: Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) was the 33rd release of Ubuntu, support ended July 22nd, 2021. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2021-June/000269.html [01:31] Guest7: why do you have a 01-network-manager-all.yml if you're not running a GUI? [01:31] nothing it is blank [01:32] Guest7: that file is only created when you have ubuntu desktop installed [01:32] interetsing [01:32] Guest7: either way, you'll need to upgrade, your release is unsupported [01:33] Guest7: and your network settings should then be in /etc/netplan. [01:35] yes you seem to be rightr [01:44] tomreyn: thanks [01:46] thank you for the answers but i have another question [01:46] is it possible to trigger a kernel panic on purpose? [01:46] if so, why would you do it? [01:46] Guest7: why would you want to do such a thing? [01:47] Guest7: this is more a google question. I see no reason anyone here would help to accomplish such a thing [01:47] just wondering for educational purposes [01:48] Guest7: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66197/how-to-cause-kernel-panic-with-a-single-command [01:49] wow that is wild [01:50] Now you can check if all 3 lights on your keyboard blink on and off repeatedly [01:52] the reason why you would want to do it is to capture a core dump? [01:53] Guest7: the core dump is only used to troubleshoot the issue that caused the kernel panic, which you never want to happen [01:53] I think it's perhaps being too general to say this kind of troubleshooting is the only use of having a core dump in-hand. [01:54] but I can't really think of what others there might be other than "I need to look at a core dump from this kernel right now" ? [01:54] SnoopJ: there's other, less crashy ways to get all the same information from your system for other purposes [01:54] leftyfb, "the same information" being a core dump? [01:54] I guess you could use it as some sort of state capture mechanism [01:55] all of that information should be in lsof and /proc/ [01:55] what if the information you want is the literal layout [01:55] layout? [01:56] of kernel memory [01:57] I mean, I get what you're saying, if you want [some particular information] then there is probably a better way to get it than crashing your system... [01:57] Guest7: there's no reason for you to purposely generate a kernel panic. If, some day you become a kernel developer, then you'll already know how to do such a thing if you have to [01:57] gotcha makes sense [04:26] like never say 'allegiance' again. [04:27] Heron Stiff.

How can I set Chrome to use the middle click? On Windows I was closing tabs when clicking on them and scrolling up/down when keeping it pressed. [11:24] Razva: with a mouse? [11:24] G502 [11:24] I already installed Piper [11:24] so yes a mouse [11:24] the button is mapped as "middle click" [11:25] Yes, with a Mouse. [11:25] middle mouse button click? [11:25] yup [11:25] it didn't just work without piper?

Any way to do the same on Ubuntu? [11:30] Guest11: alkisg already pointed you to a solution [11:31] Razva: so it's doing middle click scrolling, but not as fast?

[13:28] use htop to find the program with the most CPU usage [13:29] goddard, thanks, but the program is gnome-shell itself (according to Gnome System Monitor) [13:29] zteam: try to reinstall gnome shell [13:32] i don't know how to do that with my partition program i dont' see options [13:32] its in the hamburger menu [13:32] when you click on the drive [13:32] it should be in the window toolbar [13:32] at the top [13:33] on the right hand side [13:33] KDE partition manager [13:33] nah gnome disks [13:33] dont know about kde partition manager [13:44] goddard, I tried to reconfigure it with dpkg now, hopefully that settles things down a bit [13:46] Guest97, are you sure you have the necesseary permsissions to modify the files ? [13:47] zteam i'm note sure, but each file owner details show my username [13:49] Guest97, right click the file or folder you are trying to modify and check whetever you have permssion to read and write to it [13:50] zteam: owner can view and modify [13:51] I created a simple .deb package as per https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910717 .. I need to print some text as a banner while installing the newly created .deb package, does DEBIAN/control supports this? [13:52] Guest97, Does it show that? (even if it's rare you can actually own files without having write permissions for it) [13:52] Guest11: try #ubuntu-devel [13:54] zteam: yes i right clicked properties: (user- group- other) under permession > Can View & Modify [13:54] all files withing that partition says so [13:58] Guest97, then you need to to alter the mount settings for that partition go to Disks Utitlty -> Select your Disk -> and partition and click on wheel meny-> and select "edit mount settings" [13:59] there's faded (grayed out) menu option (Edit mount point) when i right click on the partition on KDE Manager - [13:59] should i unmount it first? [14:00] or it's not the option we want [14:01] Guest97, it sounds like the right option... Did KDE Parition Manager ask you for any password then you started it? [14:01] yes [14:01] it asked for my username password [14:02] Guest97, okey, I have never used that tool myself, but it sounds like you need to unmount the partition first [14:03] unmounted [14:03] btw it's ntfs if that'sof any importance [14:04] i clicked edit mount point === genii-core is now known as genii [14:04] in the options there's " read only" which is unchecked by default [14:04] run ntfs fix [14:05] ntfsfix is the command [14:05] will it harm my files? [14:05] no [14:05] just fixes ntfs drives that weren't shut down cleanly by windows [14:06] should i do this with the partitions mounted or unmounted? [14:06] it will tell you [14:06] ok [14:06] HELO [14:07] Guest97, No it wont't it it will only do a basic check to make sure the NTFS-filesystem is correct :-) [14:08] https://pastebin.com/Q3z5EV6b [14:08] you gotta tell it which drive [14:08] lsblk [14:08] shows your drives [14:08] it will be /dev/sda or something like that [14:09] unless it is nvme [14:11] https://pastebin.com/Kpd4HXEy [14:11] i tried chkdsk as it says [14:11] Guest97, as goddard says you need to tell it the device name (you can probably view this very easyily from Kde Partion Manager [14:11] command not found. [14:12] Guest97, There is no Linux version of CheckDisk available, so if it wants you to run CheckDisk it means the Windows version from inside Windows [14:13] i have no windows :x [14:15] Guest97, try sudo ntsfix -d /dev/sda3 [14:18] https://pastebin.com/fENiMqWQ [14:18] it looks like it worked [14:18] see if you can use it [14:18] i tried to edit and delete a file.. nothing happened [14:20] something always happens [14:21] T-T [14:21] Guest97, ntfsfix can only do basic checking of a NTFS-volume the only way to work around that is either to 1. get an installation media with windows and run chkdsk /p C: (assuming that is the right letter) or 2. Copy all your files to anotther partition and to recreate the parition that you can't modify the files on [14:22] there's no easy ways to do fixes on linux [14:23] ntfsfix has always worked for me [14:23] the gnome disks to set mount options [14:23] my system also crashed about 5 times in 2 days.. usually when i try to logout from my user or customizing my UI [14:23] Guest97, however I'm confused, ntfsfix is clearly telling you to the filesystem is dirty becuase windows didn't shutdown properly, so the question is what happened to your Windows partition? [14:23] i'm starting to think that something went wrong when i installed kubuntu [14:23] and if you dont have windows installed you should just make the disk an ext4 drive any way [14:23] ntfs always causes problems in my experience [14:24] goddard, this is a good point if he doesn't intend to use that files on Windows in the future [14:24] i couldn't change the partition extension because it'll make me lose the files [14:25] Guest97: ya you gotta move them some place else temporarily [14:25] usb 3 drive maybe [14:25] so they'll remain only readable until i do move them somewhere else? [14:25] even with the free space on the partitions? [14:26] if you can read them now then yeah [14:26] i can red them but i can't modify them [14:26] its your computer and nothing will happen unless you do it [14:26] goddard, "always" is too absolute, i use NTFS on my outboard media drive without any issues [14:27] BluesKaj: ok [14:27] in my experience it is best to do things the Linux way when you move out of Windows land [14:28] is my sudo permssions different from root permssions? [14:28] i want to try something [14:29] kind of but not really it depends [14:29] look at the man page for -i [14:29] it details some differences [14:29] Guest97 sudo just means "perform this command only as root" [14:30] ok i've (rootfs) folder which is owned by root ok? [14:30] inside rootfs foler there's media folder [14:30] (or some other user, if you specify -u) [14:30] media folder has my username inside [14:30] inside my username there's my 2 partitions [14:30] mounted [14:30] and their owner is me [14:31] Guest97, yes, (make sure these has read and write permissions as well [14:31] media? [14:32] Guest97, the folders inside media [14:32] my username folder is owned by root not my username [14:32] media folder is owned by root too [14:33] group root [14:33] Guest97, does other has read and write permissions there ? [14:34] all options in permissions are grayed out [14:34] for my username folder [14:36] sudo chmoud o+rwx /media/directory [14:36] Guest97, sudo chmod o+rwx /media/directory [14:37] Guest97, (replace directory with name of the folder inside media) [14:37] apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7EA0A9C3F273FCD8 results to gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure [14:38] ivaat, try "sudo apt clean" && apt update [14:38] still can't modify [14:39] zteam: yea the apt update is part of script already [14:40] and how this should help... did not help [14:41] Guest97, nope, Linux is not very happy to touch any NTFS-volume if it finds any defect [14:41] can i run the chkdsk utility from inside linux? [14:42] it it will help? [14:43] ivaat, cleanings apts cache can actually help,since the key can be retrived from a possible corrupt cache (and no I can't now what's inside your scripts) [14:43] i am trying to retrive key from keyserver.. not cache [14:44] "Server indicated a failure" [14:46] ivaat, missed that part sorry [14:46] np [14:48] Guest97, get a usb-drive with Windows-instalation-ISO you can grab that directly from Microsoft, CheckDisk can only be run from Windows there is no way around that [14:49] that or an external hard drive... ? [14:49] those only 2 methods [14:51] Guest97, storing the files tempoarirly on another drive and formating the faulty NTFS-filesystem obviosly works as well yes. [14:51] ok i will try with my usb drive first with windows 10 [14:51] i mean windows 7 [14:52] Guest97, either should be fine, from there just go to the recovery command prompt and run chkdsk /p C: [14:53] do you know to burn a windows 7 iso file in linux? [14:59] Guest97, Try this, the instructions are for Windows 10, but it possibly works for Windows 7 as well https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/06/create-bootable-windows-10-usb-ubuntu [14:59] ok thank you [14:59] i will try now [15:02] whats the default gnome shell font used? [15:02] Guest97, No problem :-) [15:04] goddard: cantarell? [15:04] Cantarell [15:04] it appears the AMD open driver has font rendering issues in gnome shell at high refresh rates [15:05] makes it look all blurry and "rainbowy".. yes that is a technical term [15:05] the AMD open driver doesn't know a thing about fonts [15:05] knowing a thing about a thing doesn't mean it can't effect a thing [15:05] so it must be whatever software gui toolkit or font toolkit renders them [15:06] easy to find out, so if it's gtk font rendering cause you trouble. try with qt applications if it's the same effect. and can you provide screenshots of the font renderings? [15:07] Guest97: you know Windows 7 isn't supported anymore.... [15:08] burning CDs? :O [15:09] Mekaneck, yes but i'm not installing it.. i will burn it to usb for the sole pupose of running chkdsk command [15:10] anyone can hit how i can get fsck.mode=skip into this solution: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [15:10] not getting it on how you would do that since windows doesn't do live sessions Guest97... anyway, we're offtopic here [15:12] i can't do live sessions like linux?? [15:12] with windows? No [15:12] do i have to install it alongside ubuntu for this to work?? [15:12] Guest97: everything I have told you should of already be a solution [15:13] hint* [15:13] Guest97: this is not a windows support channel so [15:13] goddard: i will try this from recovery windows 7 to run cmd [15:13] if your drive is failing then you might need custom software to salvage your data [15:13] you shouldn't need windows but if thats what you wanna do [15:14] zteam so far told me i have 2 options, this or buy a new DIsk and move data to it.. === Guest24 is now known as kulukuy [15:17] your problem is how your drive is mounted [15:17] ntfsfix should solve the issue [15:18] goddard, he can't fix an NTFS-drive with serious corruption from Windows, there is no Linux equivalent to CheckDisk ntfsfix is not a full-blown replacement for CheckDisk that' [15:18] i ran ntfsfix command and that's what returned [15:18] Mounting volume... OK [15:18] Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. [15:18] Checking the alternate boot sector... OK [15:18] NTFS volume version is 3.1. [15:18] NTFS partition /dev/sda3 was processed successfully. [15:18] yeah [15:18] how is the drive mounted? [15:19] fstab [15:19] goddard, that's why I told him to grab a Windows iso [15:22] Guest97, just for curiousity you can try to run sudo dmesg -wH [15:23] I am getting started with containers using systemd-nspawn. I'm working on getting private networking setup. Most guides use sytemd.networkd for this. Ubuntu Server comes with Netplan. What is ubuntu community's recommended configuration (arrangement)? [15:23] no specifc partition? [15:25] Guest97, from terminal, and then to mount the ntfs volume again, this should show any complains Ubuntu has about the NTFS-volume (it can't fix anything, but it let us see, if Ubuntu has any complains about the fileystem [15:26] where i can see if there's a problem in the output? [15:26] My main goal is to have a clone of the running system started up in a container, but with a new static IP address. [15:26] Guest97, it will print all errors in the same window as you enter the command :-) [15:27] there's hella a looot of lines [15:27] colored [15:27] so much lines to check [15:28] Guest97, right.... we could make that easier.... [15:29] guest press ctrl+c instead run sudo dmesg -wH | grep /dev/sda3 === thegodsquirrel is now known as THEGODSQUIRREL [15:29] with sda3 mounted? [15:30] Guest97, unmount and run the command again then remount [15:31] konsole freezes? [15:32] type Xrtil +C? [15:33] Guest97, opens a new console then, and run sudo dmesg -wH | grep /dev/sda3 from there instead [15:34] how long should the command take? [15:35] cursor just sticks to the left of the console [15:35] with no output [15:35] Guest97, even after you mount the faulty drive? :-O [15:36] i haven't mounted the drive yet... [15:36] it's still unounted [15:36]
