oerheksThe report states you're using KDE which was supported by the Kubuntu team but is now EOL00:00
Kangaroooi want to test if apport notifications are comming up in usual ubuntu. how to make something crash? maybe apport will come? i want that apport not coming but a side baloon apport pop up notiftiocation comes. i noticed that some bug 1958046 in kubuntu that when chromium cant start because of bug 195804700:00
ubottuBug 1958046 in apport (Ubuntu) "Cant get bug report again, if i didnt send it in 1st 2 times that i came up. Could come back all the time so latest bug reports can be easy sent." [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195804600:00

oerheksso 1958046 is invalid and answered.00:01
oerheksand if you cannot click the button alt + tab /space works?00:02
Kangarooooerheks what are you talking about? Whats difference what i installed kubuntu or xubuntu or lubuntu? I use them all since theres that bug in ubuntu having unity. ubuntu has 5 years and more years paid support. can report and fix them. package is used in ubuntu. i got it from kubuntu not related to kubuntu. also package isnt kubuntu but ubuntu. who00:03
Kangaroooinvented this weird comment about kubuntu beeing eol? package will be forverver and needs fix in any version and current 18.04 ubuntu isnt eol. offtopic00:03
oerheksubuntu has 5 years, yes, but KDE not00:03
oerheks3 years00:03
Kangarooowell bug isnt about kd00:03
oerheksi understand you need i386.00:05
sarnoldKangarooo: to force apport to do something, try starting a new shell and running kill -SIGBUS $$00:05
oerheksanyway, for that chromium snap, you would get those updates, the rest not, right?00:05
oerheksalt + tab /space works?00:05
Kangarooobug is reported now needs a fix. even in million years. but in 2222.04.5 still this wont be triaged because its reported from machine with kde installed witch has nothing to do with bug in ubuntu?00:06
oerheks..00:06
=== genii is now known as genii-meeting
sarnoldor you could reproduce the problem on a newer machine00:08
oerheksi386 is dying, sorry to bring this shocking news..00:09
Kangarooosarnold thnx i had simple question- how to make apport crash to test in latest versions? but out of nowhere apport aperantly now is kde package of 18.04 and not 20.04 or 22.04 or 2222.04.666. oerheks this is main package list not some kdelist. package is ubuntu package so its unusable for new people.00:09
sarnoldKangarooo: try the kill command I gav eyou00:09
Kangarooooerheks have a lot of problems with chromium . not opening. cant install. 32 bit kubuntu 18.04.5 updated to 18.04.6 is last option00:10
Kangarooooerheks well im installing every frend comp wid it hos computer is old too if no else option00:11
sarnoldoh wow, i missed that this was 32 bit. there's no great news there.00:11
oerheksone gets no updates, so that machine should not be connected to the internet.00:12
Kangarooothis is terrible that some still say this eol thing after 10 years hearing this to not fix this or that for 10 years and now here we are- covid and other thigs are EOL system not fixing therefore even if using vaccine system. all others EOL? Actually Well its not vaccine related bug. Its firewall related in every year every body system using00:18
Kangarooosapiens dna system any gender distro. men just get more bugs from covid. ive heard it million times and no one knows why they say EOL. now i learned that thouse were never EOL when mentioned, since in main ubuntu list. bug is for ubuntu package not EOL package. all management makes viruses them let viruses ang bugs happen and not stop EOL00:18
Kangarooonotification false news spread.00:18
Kangaroooi just want to report and get fix bug, not debate about should it be discarded as bug since turns out false EOL notice00:18
sarnoldKangarooo: I haven't got a clue what you're talking about at this point00:19
sarnoldKangarooo: but if you want to join the kubuntu team and help them provide a five year support for their flavour, go right ahead00:19
Kangarooosarnold bug is not in kde package00:20
Kangarooovirus ir another virus (bad presidents thinking, oh we wont die like china) letting in virus to get a bug- letting in doesnt make it go away. then saying fake vaccine will help is wrong. its not vaccine bug. its firewall bug- it was destroyed by virus presidents letting covid botnet in.00:26
tomreynKangarooo: please stay on topic, ubuntu support for the releases listed in topic.00:26
Kangaroootomreyn topic is that my bug isnt kde related so its not EOL. its missinformation fake news. Distros packages are EOL but what is really package about is about dna of human.. i mean.. working together- ubuntu. so that is not eol. apport is not eol. its in main in ubuntu list.00:28
nicoz-lool00:32
Kangaroookill -SIGBUS $$ did no any forcing apport crash notification. how to make apport to force to come to make fake crash (not like fake news that apport is kde eol package, while its acctually ubuntu main sources list package so 1,5 more years toatl 5 years) bug 1958046 . currently i have in old saving lifes machine 32-bit kubuntu chromium-browser01:08
Kangaroooinstalling then opening crasing and on 3rd time not comming notifications of report made. cant find package that could crash on 21.10 64 bit to see this notification not comming up after 3rd time. in 18.04.5 32 bit apport notification comes up. whats the use of crash file if user doesnt know about it? what is missing to enable is something later is01:08
Kangarooochanged and disabled to let people know about bad virus bugs?01:08

SpiceManI'm trying to configure the Japanese keyboard, but switching layouts is not working properly in 20.04.04:34
SpiceManI had the same problem like a month before in another install and somehow I fixed it, but never understood HOW04:34
SpiceManswitching between english and japanese with super-space seems to work, but the keyboard layout is not changed. (it's like setxkbmap was not executed)04:35
SpiceManalso, checking the keyboard layout when the language is set to Japanese it shows "?" as the keyboard layout name: https://imgur.com/a/UTwQynH04:36
SpiceManwhen it got somehow fixed last time, it properly showed "Japanese"04:36
SpiceManideas?04:36
SpiceManit's a fresh install, by the way. it's broken.04:39
Bashing-omSpiceMan:04:48
Bashing-omSpiceMan:04:48
SpiceManBashing-om: yes?04:49
Bashing-omSpiceMan: Might try ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ' ?04:49
Bashing-omSpiceMan: Sorry - elbow Bumping the wall - messing with my typing ^ :D04:50
SpiceManlet me check04:52
SpiceManBashing-om:  there's no japanese keyboard listed in the options in the first screen04:53
SpiceManI specifically picked Japanese (109 keys) in the install process04:54
SpiceMan*installation04:54
SpiceManwhere do I get it from? XD04:54
SpiceManit runs update-initramfs o.O. why? what for? lol04:57

Bashing-omSpiceMan: consider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ .05:11
SpiceManyes, locales are correct05:13
SpiceManI think it's a gnome/ibus issue05:13
Bashing-omSpiceMan: My notes show " Ctrl + Space turns ibus on ; Alt+Shift switches input languages ' -- any joy ?05:15
SpiceManthose do nothing05:19
SpiceManit's super+space to swtich languages in 20.0405:19
SpiceMansetting it to alt-shift, like in Windows, breaks other gnome shortcuts (eg: alt-shift-tab to switch apps back)05:20
SpiceManuhm. dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration changes the "kernel keymap" whatever that is, that's why it ran update-initramfs05:23
SpiceMannow I wonder what I had before I ran the reconfigure05:23
SpiceManneed to logout, brb05:28
SpiceManfixed it.05:32
SpiceManfwiw, it's a 109-key japanese keyboard, and the ibus-mozc system configuration uses "default" as keyboard layout05:33
SpiceManso I edited /usr/share/ibus/component/mozc.xml and changed <layout>default</layout>  to <layout>jp</layout> and it works now05:33
SpiceManI can't believe no one EVER spotted this05:34
SpiceManwell, someone did:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput05:34
Bashing-omSpiceMan: Outstanding - you do good work :D05:34
SpiceManthis is broken, if you ask me.05:36
SpiceManwhy let me choose Japanese (109-key) keyboard in the installation, just to have it set as an english one05:36
Bashing-omSpiceMan: Worth making a bug report to get it resolved ?05:36
SpiceManthat page stating "how to setup Japanese input on an English Ubuntu installation." makes me think that they do consider that, so if you also choose Japanese as the system language, it maybe sets it properly05:38
SpiceManhence, no japanese user has issues and couldn't find any info in japanese either05:38
SpiceManthe system language shouldn't matter, the selected keyboard does05:38

coprographiaweedmic: what's wrong with just ctrl + c ?10:00
coprographiathat is how you are meant to stop it I think10:01
coprographiaJust use `fg` to make it a foreground process again, and then you can stop it in interactive mode I think10:04
tomreynthat should work. also the pid should have been printed on screen / to the log when it was backgrounded10:12
tomreynor use killall10:12
weedmiccoprographia:  that would be fine if it were not in a terminal and had a user to do it.  i am in an ssh terminal and want to write a script to stop a process, send the log in an e-mail, erase the log, restart the process in crontab.  for now i am capturing the PID when I start the process and using kill PID to stop it.10:29

SaladTimeAlright, just did a system update and it's completely killed my laptops built-in display - just random flickering digital noise11:29
SaladTime1.) wtf, why is this even a thing that can happen11:29
SaladTime2.) This isn't the screen - windows boots fine11:29
SaladTime3.) Not sure how it's the GPU drivers as an externally driven screen works fine11:30
Jeremy31amdgpu with 5.13 kernel?11:30
SaladTimeNope11:30

SaladTimeJust reinstalled the driver but didn't help11:30
SaladTime5.13 kernel though11:30
SaladTimeOh hang on a second, it'd be an AMD integrated GPU11:31
SaladTimeSo, yes11:31
SaladTimeIs this a known issue?11:31
Jeremy31Using 5.11 before?11:31
SaladTimeNot entirely sure but I suspect so11:31
ograyou should be able to go back to the former kernel to verify it is the kernel update11:32
ograjust intercept the boot at the bootloader so you can select the kernel from its menu11:32
SaladTimeI can likely do this, have done before - but once I do that, what's my next step?11:33
SaladTimeJust sit at 5.11?11:33
SaladTimeIsn't this a fairly major issue for Ubuntu?11:33
ogranah, just verify that it is really a 5.13 issue before moving forward with anything11:33
Scrappycan someone help this newbee with getting an usb lcd to work? (lcdproc/lcd4linux)11:34
SaladTimeAlright, should be back shortly11:34
Scrappyubuntu Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS/5.13.0-27-generic11:35
SaladTimeOkay so: trying to boot 5.11 just takes me to two black screens, no idea what happened there. 5.11 recovery boot worked and my laptop screen functions fine, but the second monitor is now black and non functional11:39
SaladTimeSo, a slight improvement11:39
SaladTimeCall me old fashioned but in 2022 I don't think pressing update should carry the risk of destroying your OS lmao11:39
ogradefinitely some driver issue then ...11:40
ograis that 20.04 with the HWE kernel ?11:40
SaladTimeDescription:    Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS11:41
SaladTimeNot sure how to check HWE11:41
ograwell, if you run 5.13 and 5.11, they are both hwe kernels ...11:41
SaladTimeAye so what does that mean practically11:42
ograi think there is some linux-modules-nvidia-* package that comes along, is that installed ?11:42
ogradpkg -l | grep linux-modules-nvidia11:42
SaladTimeNothing11:43
ograand just "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" ?11:44
ogra(what driver version is installed)11:44
ogra(i.e. my nvidia box has "nvidia-driver-470" ...)11:44
SaladTimegrep nvidia returns a bunch of stuff11:45
SaladTimeWhat are you looking to check specifically>11:45
SaladTimeThere seems to be a bunch of leftover nvidia stuff but the current driver is 46011:46
ograthe version (see what i wrote in brackets above)11:46
ograah11:46
SaladTimeas far as I know11:46
SaladTimeThere's a bunch of -470, -490 stuff there too11:46

SaladTimeii  nvidia-kernel-source-46011:46
SaladTimee.g11:46
SaladTimePossibly updates never got cleaned up after themselves11:47
ograah, rc means it was removed (and left some config files behind)11:47
SaladTimeah right11:47
SaladTimeIs there a way to clean out nvidia driver stuff and install 470 clean?11:47
SaladTimeI'd prefer to do this without also nuking cuda11:47
ogracuda ? wheer did you get it from ?11:48
SaladTimeCan't remember honestly, but it's not something that'd cause this11:49
ogra(i dont think there are recent CUDA libs in the archive)11:49
SaladTimeProbably the official nvidia cuda site11:49
ograyeah, not sure, but if your driver gets updated and you have libs that wont work with that particular driver version it might cause issues11:49
SaladTimeIt could definitely break cuda yeah11:49
ograif the packaging system does not know about this ...11:49
SaladTimeBut shouldn't break general display stuff11:49
ograhow do you knwo ?11:50
SaladTimeBecause you can run your GPU without cuda just fine11:50
SaladTimeSo - clean install of nvidia drivers11:50
ograanyway ... i'd start with going back to 5.13, use the "additional drivers" panel in "software sources" and let it do its automated thing first ... see if it perhaps can fix itself11:51
SaladTimeI think 5.13 on ryzen is screwed11:51
ograyeah, that might be11:51

portonzamba: ZFS deduplication on?12:34
portonif yes, turn off12:34
zambaporton: no zfs here.. just ext412:34
portonzamba: BTW, you use ext4 why? Is it faster than ZFS>12:35
porton?12:35
zambaporton: well.. i don't know.. just the default, i guess12:37
portonIs ZFS stable now?12:37
porton(in 20.04 installer it was labeled EXPERIMENTAL)12:38
tomreynit works fine for many, but i think th einstaller still refers to it as experimental in later releases, too.12:39
zambabut is there a way to debug this? how much resources should this really take?12:44
zambai'm using SSDs.. and the server has 128GB RAM and 32 vCPUs @ 2.3 GHz12:45
tomreyndebug what exactly?12:45
zambatomreyn: why it's consuming that much resources12:46
tomreynoh your sftp-server?12:46
zambayes12:46
tomreynhmm, i guess you can run sshd in the foreground12:47
zambathe problem is that i have a nfs server running on top of the same storage and that is heavily loaded.. so i'm getting terrible performance across the nfs share whenever i'm writing to the same data store over sftp12:47
tomreyn"-D      When this option is specified, sshd will not detach and does not become a daemon.  This allows easy monitoring of sshd."12:47
tomreynfrom the sshd man page12:47
portonzamba: You can try strace, but it gives MUCH output12:47

cdriscollnot sure if someone is able to sanity check a preseed file for automating partition config with the 20.04.3 desktop installer: https://pastebin.com/MNFeuP0H .  i end up getting an error that says no efi system partition is found, and the disk indeed ends up not being able to boot after install.15:09

Maik20.04 recently got 5.1316:50
cdriscoll@tomreyn - i noticed that with the server installer, but the desktop installer seems to still use preseed files?16:55
tomreyncdriscoll: yes. might change for 22.04, not sure. but you could probably also use the server installer for a desktop installation.16:57
tomreynthe new flutter based installer will be using curtin for partitioning, just like subiquity (server installer) does. that's more a topic for #ubuntu-next though16:59

anddamhowdy, I am trying to get a core dump from an application that is segfaulting. I set ulimit -c to unlimited and made sure apport service is running19:21
anddamI can `sleep 10 & killall -SIGSEGV sleep` and get a crash in /var/crash, yet if run my (custom made) application I get none19:21
anddamin /var/log/apport.log for this non-captured program I see19:21
anddamERROR: apport (pid 3316) Thu Jan 20 20:19:01 2022: called for pid 3301, signal 11, core limit 0, dump mode 119:21
anddamERROR: apport (pid 3316) Thu Jan 20 20:19:01 2022: executable was modified after program start, ignoring19:22
anddamany hint about how should I go in order to capture the core?19:25
Guest7I often setup single purpose servers... like a $10 Pi to run my VPN, and I'll have a separate $10 Pi to run a print server. Is there any reason not to just login as root? It's saves a minute during setup. And similarly, is there any reason to not have all files in the home directory? Like, why bother with any more of a file structure when there is19:30
Guest7such a simple setup? Everything I read seems to suggest against these practices, but the literature seems written with more traditional setups in mind, where you want to isolate users and different processes on the machine.19:30
leftyfbGuest7: this is a #security question. But I can tell you, logging in as root, especially on something publicly accessible is a TERRIBLE idea. You shouldn't even have a password set/disable login for root19:32
Guest7But if I need to be root sometimes, the difference is just that I have to use two passwords to get in?19:36
Guest7And what do you think about the filesystem organization part of my question?19:37
jhutchinsGuest9014: The safety of root logins depends on which superstition you subscribe to.19:45
jhutchinsDamn.19:45
CodeMouse92Guest8100: You do know you can 'sudo su' to access a root shell, yes>19:45
CodeMouse92*?19:45
leftyfbthey left19:46
CodeMouse92Oops, sorry to the other guests, LOL19:46
jhutchinsCodeMouse92: sudo su is generally not recommended, sudo -i or similar is preferred.19:47
CodeMouse92jhutchins: Interesting. Reason?19:47
jhutchinsCodeMouse92: I'm not entirely clear on it myself, but it has to do with the layers of shells that are ivoked and the resources consumed.19:48
* CodeMouse92 never did like trying to remember how to 'su' into another user other than root anyway19:48
CodeMouse92I mean, I'll switch, but as a rule I don't subscribe to rules that don't have explanations attached. That's how we got "change your password every month"19:48
jhutchinsCodeMouse92: Occasionally sudo gets lost in the identities, paths, and permissions (especially if used in scripts).19:48
CodeMouse92jhutchins: Ah, valid19:49
jhutchinsCodeMouse92: When I have to administer a multi-user system, I do find su - <user> very useful.  I've never used the system in a way that makes su without - useful.19:49
CodeMouse92jhutchins: But, to be fair, sudo -i <user> works too, so...19:50
CodeMouse92Hah, did we just switch positions?19:50
jhutchinsI got the su -i recommendation from a guy who writes most of the documentation for bash.  I got the feeling he's explained it too many times to be willing to do so again.19:51
CodeMouse92I'm happy to switch purely on the basis that 'sudo -i' invokes one less executable than 'sudo su' ;)19:52
octav1a$ cat | more19:53
jhutchinsOn the other hand, when I'm doing remote administration, I almost always use a root shell rather than individual sudo-authorised commands.19:53
leftyfboctav1a: that isn't going to work19:54
octav1a$ cat | less ?19:54
leftyfboctav1a: do you need help with something?19:55
jhutchinsoctav1a: While both will display the contents of a file in a pager, [less|more] is the cool way to do it.19:56
jhutchins[less|more] file19:56
octav1aleftyfb: no ; jhutchins: Thanks ^.^19:56
leftyfbjhutchins: CodeMouse92: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/9853419:56
CodeMouse92Thanks leftyfb, that explains it for me.19:58
ograCodeMouse92, su has a build-time hardcoded environment, sudo su can/will give you a differenz env compared o sudo -i or sudo -s ...20:09
ogra(there are other issues with su, but that one is really significant)20:15
aknotis it possible to change the Window colors from the Appearance section of the settings for just one window?  so to be more specific i have an application which does not handle the Dark theme very well so I'd like to run just that application with the Standard color theme rather than change the theme for the entire system20:30
sarnoldaknot: "maybe" -- some applications will read their colours from X resources, and you can usually specify different colours for different applications that way. but some newer applications don't get their colour information via X resources, and I dunno what you do there20:33
oerhekswhat application exactly?20:39
aknotoerheks, netlogo20:40
aknotsarnold, is there a doc i can read up on this a bit?20:40
oerheksnot an ubuntu program, is it?20:41
oerhekssee if there is any setting that overrides color scheme and such?20:42
aknotoerheks, it is not an ubuntu application.  https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/download.shtml is the download link20:43
oerheksyes, spotted that.20:43
aknotoerheks, i really don't see a way to change the application colors from within netlogo20:44
sarnoldaknot: the xrdb, appres, listres manpages; maybe the application manpage will mention X11 resources that it uses..20:45
ioriaaknot, you can set another theme in the cmdline: e.g. :  'GTK_THEME=Adwaita netlogo'20:45
aknotioria, i'll give that a try20:46
aknotsarnold, thanks, i look over those20:47

benjiiiiihi all, i found a bug in the ubuntu 20.04 INSTALLER. where can i find the sourcecode to have a look at?21:55
sarnoldit's scattered around a few places; if you've got the deb-src lines configured in your apt sources, you can apt source ubiquity   to grab the main thing21:56
benjiiiiiok thx, so ubiquity is the correct package. thx21:58
sarnoldprobably; I'm not sure if it's using curtin to do tasks yet or not, I know the server installer subiquity uses curtin extensively, and I know they planned on merging things together..22:01
webchat96maybe a stupid question, im on 21.10 and to "foot" package is avaiable on Jammy22:05
webchat96is there any way i can use it? https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/foot22:05
webchat96like "unstable/testing" ?22:06
sarnoldwebchat96: it's also available on impish https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foot22:10
webchat96sarnold yeah but only  1.6.4-122:15
webchat96and there are some functions etc i want to use in the latest version22:16
sarnoldahh22:17
sarnoldwebchat96: you could look to see if anyone has a PPA with it rebuilt for the older release; you could look for a snap package; you could also use the backportpackage tool from the ubuntu-dev-tools package to try a simple rebuild of the package in a launchpad ppa22:18
webchat96i've tested snap22:19
webchat96kinda confused always sticked to debian usually22:19
webchat96sarnold maybe i could just build it from src ?22:23
webchat96but how to maintain then?22:23
ravageall 3 solutions sarnold offered should be maintainable22:24
sarnoldwebchat96: it depends on what it looks like to maintain it .. if new versions are released into jammy, you could use backportpackage to rebuild those as they are made available22:25
sarnoldwebchat96: if no new versions are released into jammy, you could maintain the version in your ppa by either adding patches to it or updating to new versions as they are released, as you wish22:25
webchat96doesnt seem to be any backports damn22:33

rzwitserlootI've got an ooooold ubuntu, v14.04.6 LTS. My plan is to replace it with something new around august. I'd like to know if the old stuff that runs on it is still within reason 'safe'. The only 3 open ports are 80/443 (going to ubuntu's apache2 install) and 22 for ubuntu's standard SSH. The versions of those are respectively Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu), and22:59
rzwitserlootOpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2.13, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014.22:59
oerheksrzwitserloot, so? best is reinstall with 20.04 lts.23:00
sarnoldrzwitserloot: if you've enrolled it in ESM, then you'll be getting updates for a selection of packages..23:00
sarnoldrzwitserloot: probably whatever applications you're running on that apache are going to be the bigger issue23:01
rzwitserlootNo doubt. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to do that right this second or if the currently scheduled replacement (which is august, or earlier, 2022) is acceptable. I'm not enrolled in ESM. I know u14 is well out of date at this point. I'm really asking: How do I find a list of known compromised versions of a2 and ossh.23:01
rzwitserlootThe apache is hosting static files, which are well maintained.23:01
oerheksfirst read about systemd. big change since that ancient ubuntu23:02
sarnoldaugust is a looong way away; it'd be worth enrolling it in ESM if you've got no choice23:02
oerheks'well maintained'.. that is a joke, right?23:02
rzwitserlootI'm handing over all ops responsibilities. I'm just wondering if I can 'hold out' until then.23:02
oerheksgood luck!23:03
rzwitserlootoerheks: It's just static files; these files are provided by engaged parties who are aware of all the relevant aspects of web security. I have no particular reason to doubt that part of the setup. It's just the part where it runs on these versions of apache and openssh.23:03
sarnoldrzwitserloot: hopefully helpful https://ubuntu.com/security/cve?q=&package=apache2&priority=&version=trusty&status=23:04
rzwitserlootSurely there's a list of 'these versions are known-compromised' out there, for apache2 and openssh, right?23:04
leftyfbrzwitserloot: that's 8 years of CVE's. Good luck with that23:04
rzwitserlootooh, that's useful. thanks, sarnold!23:04
leftyfb3 years since it was EOL23:04
oerhekswell .. maintained :-D23:04
rzwitserlootoerheks: I'm not sure why you think this is funny.23:07
rzwitserlootI'm just trying to indicate that unlike the server, a whole team is actively developing that part of the setup.23:07
rzwitserlootIf there's some jargon that would be more appropriate, I'm all ears, do enlighten me.23:07
ravageif the only provided services are SSH and http(s), i would think replacing it with 20.04 is not really that complicated?23:09
ravagesound like a job for an afternoon23:09
ravagenot even SSH i see23:10
sarnoldapache changed the authz and authn stuff since then23:11
sarnolddepending upon what's involved that might be annoying23:11
leftyfb"static file" to me sounds like nothing involving php23:12
leftyfbso setup a vhost and copy files back o documentroot23:12
ravagethats what i think too. but of course i dont know the exact setup a whole team has to maintain to run apache :)23:12
rzwitserlootleftyfb PHP is not installed. Nobody (potentially) malicious has login access to this server, let alone write access to anything it hosts, and no dynamic content is available at all. Somebody with access rights `scp`'s a tarbz2 in there and then sshs in to run a script that just unpacks it in a dir served by apache2. That's all that ever happens.23:13
rzwitserlootI've gone through every 'medium' or higher CVE listed for trusty tahr for specifically a2 and openssh and none of them warrant worrying about this before august. I'll take responsibility for letting it go until then. Thanks, sarnold - exactly what I needed.23:14
leftyfbgood luck23:14
Guest13Hello Guys. In one scenario I need to install/reinstall a fresh windows image on my client workstation remotely. Consequently what would be an engineering solution for me? If I do not have PXE hardware on my workstation clients. Please bare in mind that I need to reinstall this image every 2 hour because of restriction.23:22
Guest13Is there any free tools in ubuntu that can help me?23:23
ravagei dont think there is a windows installer for Ubuntu. No.23:23
oerheksNo.23:23
ravageif you just need to apply a .wim file there are tools for that23:24

ravagehe said no PXE23:27
leftyfbGuest13: this isn't an ubuntu support question23:31
Guest13One solution is to make my systems dual boot. everytime, my ubuntu uses dd command to resintall a fresh image on the secondry partition. then force hardware to boot.23:32
Guest13But in this way, maintenance and upgrading the images would not be easy.23:32
leftyfbalso, reinstall a fresh Windows image every 2 hours ... what is the point? Windows takes half that time just to finish booting up and loading malware ;)23:32
Guest13I mean how a ubunutu can controll some workstation operating systems23:33
Guest13Something like reinstalling fresh image.23:34
leftyfbGuest13: no. This is not an ubuntu support question. Good luck23:34

Guest13ask your question here23:44
jhutchinsDeepspeed: Since there doesn't seem to be a package guru handy, why not spend your time studying the packaging docs.23:44
Deepspeedbecause the packaging docs suck23:45
DeepspeedI've worked through them before years ago and it was great.  Now the first example fails to build because the docs are broken.23:45
DeepspeedI haven't been able to make it through to something which actually works in the docs.23:45
Deepspeedand I followed the guide from a fresh install, so it wasn't my system.  The docs just don't work.23:46
leftyfbDeepspeed: have you thought about maybe snap instead?23:54
DeepspeedThis is not a personal project.  It's for a challenge in package maintenance I was given.23:55
