[00:00] sarnold: and since i have no idea what I'm doing I don't believe it will work consistently either :D [00:00] shepherd_: the general shape of this script feels like it should work [00:00] it's just not super-friendly.. [00:17] Hi all. Want to automatically send an email containing the text of a file when that file is uploaded to a specified directory. Currently am using incron to monitor this directory, but having trouble getting the text to be included in the email. [00:17] dir/being/watched IN_CLOSE_WRITE cat $# | msmtp email@email.com [00:17] The following sends an email when a file is created, but said file is blank. [00:17] Running the command outside of incrontab sends an email that is populated with the desired text. [00:23] chazzo: it's kind of gross, but maybe adding a sleep 1 ; before the cat would help [00:28] sarnold no dice with varying lengths [00:28] :( [00:29] on the one hand, that's probably best, it was a gross idea :) but it's harder to think what else would work then [00:29] Do you have a standalone script? : 'avoiding the use of pipes inside incrontab file:' ..... Could or could not be related. https://askubuntu.com/a/368182 [00:29] I'm so lost with this.. getting ready to go at it with a reallllyyy gross cron work-around [00:29] Tried with a script as well without much luck, gonna read through that and revisit nuala2 [00:30] wait a second... [00:30] is the email ALWAYS blank? or occasionally blank? [00:32] Always blank when it sends via automation. Never blank when I run the same exact command outside of incron (whether or not via script) [00:32] cool! [00:33] chazzo: try: dir/being/watched IN_CLOSE_WRITE sh -c 'cat $# | msmtp email@email.com' and see if this does anything.. [00:35] Still blank :/ [00:36] well bugger [00:36] Got it!!!! [00:36] Holy moly [00:36] One sec [00:38] dir/being/watched IN_CLOSE_WRITE /path/to/script $@/$# [00:38] Script: [00:38] cat $1 | msmtp email@email [00:38] *why* [00:38] still, that's not horrible [00:38] nuala2: nice find :D [00:38] I think I was omitting $@/$# at the end of the incron, was originally just using $# which omits the path before it [00:39] nuala2 sarnold Thank you both for the assistance [00:39] ohhhhh so it's possible the pipes aren't actually the issue? it might 'just' be three missing chars? :)( [00:40] And by including $@/$# at the end of incron, calling $1 in the script actually pulls up the appropriate filepath to copy contents from [00:40] I'm gonna try without the script now to see [00:41] 🙈 honestly I just skimmed the question but pipe looked suspicious. But hmmmm. Shouldn't a script or `sh -c` be kinda equivalent (well maybe not equal)? Also you assume same: at IN_CLOSE_WRITE file is just not fully written yet and it needs this small 'delay'? [00:42] I'd *really* hope the linux kernel would show all of the write to other processes by the time the close is sent to inotify clients [00:44] piping cat from incron also confirmed works. Super embarrassing misunderstanding of syntax. [00:44] Needs to be [00:45] cat $@/$# | msmtp [00:45] Instead of [00:45] cat $# | msmtp [00:45] was just supplying a filename with no path [00:46] chazzo: thanks! :) I don't think I *ever* would have spotted that :( [00:49] Spent so long overthinking that lol.. gonna sleep good tn === genii is now known as genii-core === pamela22 is now known as homura === hays is now known as h_ [03:37] hello to All [03:38] I mean if Somebody can tell me about the changes of sudo from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 [03:41] because I found THAT sudo -H is not necessary and -H come as default for Ubuntu 20.04, [03:41] as with Ubuntu 18.04, you shound/must use sudo -H, am I right?

Now I want to check the log of that operation as I'm having problems in compilation of a project, but /var/log/apt stuff seems not containing that [07:17] also /var/log/dpkg.log stops way before a couple of hours ago [07:20] something really fishy is going on here. Ubuntu installed some software that is NOT present in logs [07:22] so /var/log/apt/* logs stops ~16 hours ago, but "stat /var/lib/apt/periodic/upgrade-stamp" correctly shows that an upgrade happened 2 hours ago [07:25] my trust in ubuntu just went zero [07:50] That should technically be your trust in GNOME, as it's likely GNOME software which used packagekit. I'd guess at least, I don't use GNOME so can't really say. [07:52] JackFrost: well, gnome is the default desktop for ubuntu, moreover is the piece of software where canonical pushes their own products, so it's even more fishy [07:53] OK™ [08:12] arkanoid: `stat --format="%n: %y" /var/log/apt/*` === manwhowouldbekin is now known as YourNick === YourNick is now known as manwhowouldbekin [08:34] KBar: it's off.

[14:32] you can drag and drop folders in the terminal [14:32] then it puts the path in [14:35] i want *just* the path. for example. $cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf *here i would press a key combo to "paste"* /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf [14:35] so i could then just append a .bak to the filename for a backup [14:36] im looking for a quick way to "paste" the *last* typed *path* [14:36] i dont think there is such a function [14:36] stupid question, I'm trying to uninstall linux-image-5.4.0-91-generic, but it's saying it'll install linux-image-unsigned-5.4.0-91-generic instead :/ [14:36] which... kinda defeats the purpose of uninstalling [14:38] Manouchehri: make sure you also remove the meta package. linux-image-generic [14:39] and of course that you have another meta package installed so you will get updates in the future [14:39] ravage: linux-image-generic is not installed [14:40] I already have linux-image-5.4.0-94-generic installed, so I just want to get rid of linux-image-5.4.0-91-generic [14:41] Manouchehri, just let it do that install ... *then* remove the unsigned package (and as ravage said, make sure all meta packages like linux-generic, linux-image-generic etc are gone) [14:42] Manouchehri, and indeed make sure to have some other kernel installed (i.e. the hwe stack) so yu dont end up with an unbootable system [14:42] ogra: cool, thanks, trying1 [14:42] ogra: ya, the issue is my /boot keeps filling up [14:42] it shouldnt [14:42] the system is set to keep exactly three kernels around [14:42] unless you changed something around that [14:43] I have three of my own kernels as well [14:43] ah, you changed something around that then 🙂 [14:43] (own kernels) [14:43] mhm, I have to run mainline kernels for some of my hardware sometimes [14:44] speaking of which, time to test out thunderbolt hotplugging again lol [14:44] well, as long as you build them with the ubuntu sauce patchest on top and the ubuntu config, this is surely fine [14:45] (i.e. *not* any stuff from the mainline PPA) === genii-core is now known as genii [15:04] I recently updated a machine and now when trying to boot it is stuck on "Mounting Kernel Configuration File System..."

[15:33] yeah linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge [15:34] what's frustrating is that only around 5.12.x works [15:34] iirc up to 5.12.19 [15:35] did you consider simply moving to 20.04 ? there is clearly a 5.13 available [15:36] or reinstall the system in april with 22.04 and possibly get 5.17 :) [15:37] well, that means 4 months with an insecure/inclomplete kernel ... === genii is now known as genii-core [15:38] i'd move to 20.04 first [15:42] aakashi2001, wiggle the cable !

I just want to add inotify to systemd but have a script that executes if 'foo.mlt' is copied into said directory [16:30] Needed a fresh image [16:31] On a side note, Do the newer releases upgrade well? [16:31] do* [16:31] did they ever not ? [16:32] http://paste.debian.net/1226870/ [16:32] is there any fix for that?

[16:34] zfs is the main reason to use ubuntu :) [16:34] (as are 640kb) [16:34] Perhaps the older releases sometimes had a problem (like before 18)? (not sure about this) [16:35] Guest5033: I'm sure there are always problems [16:35] and reading the release notes should show a few of those [16:35] yeah [16:35] As in the boot sequence would get messed up but perhaps due to EFI/ the other method doing strang things. [16:35] ok whatever, the config was inproper [16:35] there are definitely always known issues freshly after release ... [16:35] which is why you should use LTS if you care ... [16:36] It seems like the different vendors have different implementations of EFI. [16:36] Yeah to LTS [16:36] (LTS upgrades are only happening at the .1 releases so there are chances some of the worst known issues are fixed when you upgrade) [16:37] yes. [16:45] for the dns proxy, I was going to suggest looking at the configuration or if you had something else installed but it looks like you already replied === Ricardus_ is now known as Ricardus [16:52] does snap automatically update installed snap apps?

It's not a configurable item, you would have to edit the source code and recompile. [17:42] use the source, Luke [17:43] * genii skedaddles away [17:43] so that's mean I have to do it over and over after every update [17:45] is it possible to patch the package? [17:46] Hello. Is it possible to completely disable snap, and use only apt and .debs [17:46] ? [17:47] sudo apt purge snapd [17:47] what does this hourly cron do? /bin/sh -c [ -x /etc/init.d/anacron ] && if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null; fi [17:48] ogra: But some deb packages like chromium just reinstall snap again anyways [17:48] MarvinTheMartian, the above will remove all snaps and snap support ... though note that you have to find replacemnts for the removed bits [17:48] ogra: does it also remove all snap installed apps, and it will survive updates? [17:48] yes, with the limitation that genii mentioned above [17:49] the chromium deb installs the snap (and snap support) [17:49] and there is no way to block/blacklist snapd? [17:49] you could probably do something in apt .. [17:49] is there any particular reason wh you want that ? [17:50] (i mean running ubuntu without snap support) [17:51] I find multiple package managers to a be less then elegant solution, plus a few snaps ate 20 gigabytes. It's as if I'm using windows and battling winsxs all over again. [17:52] wow, what snaps were that ? [17:53] not even sure anymore, but mostly dev related [17:53] (having 103 snaps installed here (some pretty big ones) and they all tgether only occupy 20G in /var/lib/snapd/snaps (which is the only place snaps actually take space on disk) [17:54] in general snaps usually occipy a lot less space than their deb equivalent [17:54] *occupy [17:55] and I dislike the way it installs 3rd party software [17:55] due to being compressed binary images that are never unpacked but only loop mounted [17:55] what 3rd party software ?? [17:56] debs all come from ubuntu's repo (unless you add other repos) [17:56] i know [17:56] Snaps are packaged by 3rd parties [17:56] i still dont understand where "snaps istall 3rd party software" [17:57] yes, but they dont install themselves 🙂 [17:57] dependencies do [17:57] you must conciously have picked to install it [17:57] dependencies ? [17:57] snaps are self contained [17:57] There are certain things that get directed to snapd by apt, such as chromium, and for VERY good reason. [17:58] there is exacly one package ... not "certain things" [17:58] slippery slope [17:58] that that was even announced long in advance (just that nobody read the announcement) [17:58] MarvinTheMartian: Doing something for a very good reason isn't really what that phrase means. [17:59] if one deb can do it, why not others? [17:59] is there a safeguard for that? [17:59] oh, others will [17:59] ogra: I phrased it the way I did very much on purpose. I'm aware of the one, but I didn't know if there were any additions. [17:59] it is the only way to keep your software selection functional on release to release upgrades [17:59] MarvinTheMartian: It wasn't something that some random person did. This was a very intentional thing, and you can't just "do it." [18:00] if some SW switches to snap, the only proper way to trasitio people is to use the deb to install the snap [18:00] jkc, well, firefox will go the same path with 22.04 [18:00] but to date there is exactly one package ... [18:00] MarvinTheMartian: I suggest you actually understand what snaps provide instead of trying to blanket disable the whole thing because NEW THING BAD. [18:01] ogra: I'm just going to refer you to the last thing I tagged you in, and move on. [18:01] 🙂 [18:02] I'm sensitive to supply chain attacks, and having worked with teams that were burned by npm and pypi, I'm biased [18:02] MarvinTheMartian: Good to know. This is not npm or pypi. [18:02] heh, you cant really compare these [18:02] hi! anyone have the Night Light feature not working on ubuntu 21.10? [18:03] * ogra has the night light feature not working on 21.10 ... (i didnt even know there os one 😛 ) [18:03] *is [18:04] it's well hidden on some title bar [18:04] (well, i wouldnt use it anyway ... i just found the phrasing of the question really funny 🙂 ) [18:05] yeah i configured it in display settings but somehow when it turns on my screen stays the same [18:08] anzer: whats your graphics driver? is this in a VM? [18:09] uh im a noob in all this, it is a tkinkpad 5 from lenovo with amd rayzen. It works well as a preview when I configure it, but doesn't work when i enable it/when it auto enables at night [18:09] no vm [18:10] hmm, not sure then, maybe file a bug [18:10] !bug [18:10] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw === qa6_ is now known as qa6 === Duck- is now known as Duck === lord4163- is now known as lord4163 === aaguhagegaooeg is now known as westor === Razva_ is now known as Razva === LarsErik1 is now known as LarsErikP === mongole_ is now known as mongole === dabbill_ is now known as dabbill === kantlive- is now known as kantlivelong === mmx_in_orbit_ is now known as mmx_in_orbit === ASap_ is now known as ASap === gandalf1 is now known as gandalf === patviafore_ is now known as patviafore === StoneMonarch_ is now known as StoneMonarch === h00k_ is now known as h00k === rpittau_ is now known as rpittau === holbrode_ is now known as holbrode === PotatoGim_ is now known as PotatoGim === tomreyn- is now known as tomreyn === AsenMx_ is now known as AsenMx === madhens_ is now known as madhens === mort8 is now known as mort === cryocaustik76 is now known as cryocaustik7 === KnownSyntax_ is now known as KnownSyntax === westor is now known as Guest6475 === frickler_ is now known as frickler === oerheks_ is now known as oerheks === tisiphone is now known as onepict === ogra` is now known as ogra [18:40] hello chan, got a bit of a headscratcher with kernel patch 5.11.0-44 on hirsute apparently breaking usb, any ideas? [18:41] seems rolling back to a snapshot of 5.11.0-41 fixes the issue but upgrading to impish/5.13 does not [18:42] balticsun: almost end of life, perhaps move to another ubuntu release?

[18:46] balticsun: feel free to share a dmesg booting 5.13, and maybe volunteers can trace useful errors [18:46] and your device is? and whats the difference in logging for this device on the working vs non working kernel? [18:46] have you tried different devices, usb ports, usb hubs? [18:48] thanks for the tips, i will go pull the logs [18:48] all the usb ports on my intel laptop stopped working after an update [18:49] add yourself to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1956849 ? [18:49] Launchpad bug 1956849 in linux (Ubuntu) "Almost all USB ports suddenly stopped working; unbootable" [Undecided, New] [18:50] nice find oerheks [18:50] oops, i wasn't aware [18:51] yeah nice find, thanks. it has killed usb2 as well as 3.0 in my case as well [18:51] balticsun: do you know howto affect a bug? === l0de_ is now known as l0de [18:52] lotuspsychje: affect it? in what sense, sorry [18:53] balticsun: on the bug ID oerheks found, press, yes this bug affects me in the left upper corner [18:53] how to "me too" a bug 🙂 [18:53] ah! yes i will do that then [18:54] tnx balticsun that will also auto confirm it === BlessJah_ is now known as BlessJah [18:59] got a question i got a dual cpu mainboard and i play games on it each cpu has 4 cores and 8 threads so times two that would be 8 cores and 16 threads now if i wrote this into steam would it use 8 cores and 16 threads. [19:00] in short how do i get steam to use all the cores [19:03] marc_, what have you tried so far? [19:03] if they are enabled, no need to do something special? dmidecode -t4 | egrep 'Designation|Status' [19:04] https://pastebin.com/71EMizBE [19:04] which ubuntu + kernel version are you on? [19:04] and i wrote this in steam options -cpucount=8 -exthreads=16 [19:05] 5.13.0-25-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP [19:06] that's the kernel version. and lsb_release -ds says? [19:06] how do i get that up [19:06] just run the command and post its output [19:07] should be just one line [19:07] i have the dmesg logs now if anyone is interested in taking a look! many thanks https://pastebin.com/Wp0s8ry6 [19:08] i can already see the xHCI host controller is reported as not responding [19:08] https://pastebin.com/Ke8n4Gmj [19:12] anyone having problems with the latest firefox closing on it's own? come to think of it, gedit closed when i clcked on minimize icon the other day [19:15] marc_: so you're on Ubuntu 21.10 with kernel 5.13.0-25-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP. and you know that all cores ar enot being used because what? [19:17] they are all working, but one canot assign *all* cores to steam, what does ubuntu have to use? [19:17] i could understand a dedicated cpu to steam.. [19:19] I will be upgrading to E5-2687W v2 soon so it will have more cores to use [19:20] ok i seem to have lost the old kernel, what's the best way to reinstall 5.11.0-41-generic, as its unavailable in apt? [19:21] i could set it to this for now -cpucount=6 -exthreads=12 [19:22] I just had a crash while running a system upgrade (lubuntu 20.04.3). In syslog, the line that starts it looks like this: kernel: [ 7266.781137] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [19:22] What would cause that kind of thing? Full messages here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KRthXzmrxF/ [19:23] trying to find that specific kernel release on kernel.ubuntu.com so i can just dpkg the debs but im kinda lost tbh, i can find 5.11 but not ...-0-41-generic [19:23] old kernel images are removed off mirrors after a while [19:25] what does that mean 'invalid opcode' [19:25] is there anywhere else i can source it then? i need that version again for my old snapshot to boot [19:26] balticsun: the sources should still be on launchpad.net, if you're happy to build it [19:29] i dont really know how to build it but i guess ill look into it, thanks [19:29]
