[01:07] Please do file a bug if this happens on Ubuntu.

I am having strange (?) issues of it exiting spontaneously, if i do cursor down. Is this normal perhaps?

[03:29] sarahzrf: Did you back it up before the upgrade? [03:31] n-no [03:31] i maybe stupid [03:32] sarahzrf: Not as long as you learn. [03:32] sarahzrf: Honestly, NOBODY does a backup before they upgrade. The best I've done is upgrade half of a cluster at a time, make sure it worked before I did the other half. [03:33] sarahzrf: Do you have packages from PPAs installed? [03:36] i think i might [03:41] sarahzrf: can you ssh to it now? [03:48] sarahzrf: If you do, I would highly suggest using scp or rsync to backup all of your files and configs. If there's databases, dump them and rsync those as well. Then rebuild from scratch and restore from backup. That will be the quickest, easiest and cleanest solution. That isn't to say your situation is unrecoverable, it might be. But in my opinion, isn't worth the time and effort. [04:08] >_< [04:08] i was considering just setting up a new vps, but then i realized how much configuration i'd need to do and decided i didnt want to... [04:09] i do have ssh access, but i have no idea whether it'll boot again if i shut it off [04:09] so i can only consider it a bit of a time bom [04:09] *bomb [04:09] how much config is there? === apgs is now known as apg === apg is now known as apgs [04:24] sarahzrf: maybe spend some time creating an ansible playbook to rebuild it for when you need to do this again === _filename is now known as filename [06:33] is there a way to merge 2 logical partitions [06:34] one is root and another is home [06:34] root has run out of space and I cant login right now [06:36] dirtcastle_: ummmm, just allocate more space to root [06:36] lvextend [06:38] i have made partitions for entire sda [06:38] wez: will this cause problems [06:38] for them [06:41] dirtcastle_: lvreduce to make a lv smaller, then lvextend? [06:41] dirtcastle_: In the recovery menu is the "clean" option that trys to make free space. Worth a shot before having to mount and manually see what you can remove from '/' . [06:41] dirtcastle_: There's probably something in /var/log you can remove too [06:45] I've run sudo rm -rf /var/log/ [06:45] ok fixed the issue [06:45] :S [06:45] i need increase the space before this happens again [06:46] there are some files in there you probably want to keep, I meant truncate the files, not delete them entirely.l [06:46] dirtcastle_: Do it! lvextend or find out where the space was being eaten up and mount that into it's own filesystem [06:46] lol will this cause problems. My system is new. haven't done much with it [06:47] Generally you want to mount /tmp, /var and /home somewhere else. [06:47] yeah, you need a /var/log directory :) [06:47] also depending on what services you gave installed you may need sub-directories with correct permissiojns set [06:47] gave = have [06:47] will that delete the contents or the Directories themselves? [06:48] rm -fr will [06:49] mounting over the top won't delete what is already there, you will need to move it over to a new FS, then mount over the top [06:49] will doing mkdir the Directories be enough? [06:50] depends what services you have installed [06:51] nginx and apache will probably complain when you start htem up next if you don't recreate the directories and set the appropriate permissions [06:51] I've installed a window Manager, browser and urxvt. other than that it's new [06:51] i don't run servers . it's my laptop . [06:52] OK [06:54] for now I've created the /var/log/ directory. i didn't create partition for /tmp or /var (manually) during installation. only root and home. and now I need to increase root size [06:55] dirtcastle_: Either that or mount the directories to a new FS if they are likely to grow [06:59] can I mount the root to home? [06:59] home has 80gb. It will take a while to fill up [07:00] i think [07:02] dirtcastle_: ummm, why do you want to do that? [07:02] dirtcastle_: just extend root :) [07:02] or create a new LV for the stuff that takes up room [07:06] idk how to extend. can u help wez . I'll send fdisk and parted output. tell me wat command to run. I tried running some everything failed [07:06] dirtcastle_: How much space did you allocate to the volume group? [07:07] 100gb [07:07] it's an extended partition [07:08] fdisk -l : https://paste.rs/uvh [07:09] parted print : https://paste.rs/52R [07:09] Which one is your volume group? [07:10] Or are you using partitions only? [07:10] oh wait. i forgot. there is no extended partition. [07:10] everything is primary only [07:11] I messed up the partition table and when I restored ,I made it into primary partition [07:12] If you mess up the partition table, yhou should still be able to recover data. The partition simply sets the boundaries for where the files are stored - it doesn't delete them. [07:14] yes I recovered the table. but sda2 and sda3 were logical partitions in an extended partition before I messed up. when I restored I made them primary partition [07:16] dirtcastle_ It sounds like you'll have to reinstall [07:17] hi [07:25] dirtcastle_: what's the problem? [07:26] BASHitup: :( [07:26] EriC^^: i need to increase root partition size [07:27] dirtcastle_: making them primary instead of logical has no consequence at all to it booting/mounting [07:27] Hey - it happens. I ran a command that was just super idiodic to run. Then I tried to recover with my clone. My clone was done wrong. So I had to reinstall then copy from the clone. In my case, I use luks FDE ... So everything is naturally more difficult over the encryption [07:27] dirtcastle_: ok, pastebin 'sudo parted -ls' output [07:28] EriC^^: so is it ok to resize? what cmd/software Will I need [07:28] yeah, no issues, share the pastebin, gparted can do it from a live usb [07:29] EriC^^: this is parted print output. if this is not enuf I'll get u that also https://paste.rs/52R [07:31] dirtcastle_: you intend to make root-ubuntu bigger? [07:32] yes exactly [07:34] dirtcastle_: you'll need the space from somewhere else, so boot up a live usb, run gparted, then resize another fs and 'move' it to the right/end side of the disk and other partitions too, til you have unallocated space after root-ubuntu, then resize/expand it [07:36] nice. how can i send partitions to other end of the disk EriC^^ [07:37] dirtcastle_: right click -> move [07:37] or something like dragging them maybe, never really used gparted alot [07:38] it's pretty intuitive though [07:38] my ubuntu works fine. i can use gparted without live usb and all [07:39] you cant resize mounted fs though [07:39] ohh. do i need to make a bootable usb with gparted in it or ubuntu? [07:40] also for sure you'll want to backup any important info, as you never know if it might go wrong with resizing [07:40] ubuntu iso* [07:40] just ubuntu iso should do be fine [07:40] ok [07:41] this will actually solve lots of my problems === keypushe- is now known as keypusher === polymorp- is now known as polymorphic [08:06] hello [08:17] Hi [08:18] I had everything working, all these years, and tonight I try to start a vm in vbox and it says version mismatch [08:18] suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT. [08:20] Hash: reinstall vbox, the kernel dkms and/or the extentions [08:21] the modules likely didnt compile/install correctly. space issue? [08:22] Checking [08:22] DKMS: uninstall completed. [08:22] Deleting module version: 6.1.32 [08:22] ok, all gone. I went to their page, had the repo added latest made srue it's good [08:22] they say to grab the .deb, did that too [08:23] and what does apt install show? all goes well? [08:23] did it compile the modules for your current kernel or one you recently installed but havent booted into? [08:24] DKMS: install completed. [08:24] No dice. [08:24] UWF question. I'm trying to limit youtube with ufw. I found that youtube uses range of IP adresses such as 199.223.232.0 to 199.223.239.255. If I'm correct this is equivalent to 199.223.232.0/11 but applying, $sudo ufw deny from 199.223.232.0/11 will result in a adress "normalisation" to 199.192.0.0/11. Why is that ? [08:25] yeah, apt install modules and builds them and everyuthig [08:25] han gon [08:25] did you modprobe them [08:25] https://bpa.st/GETA log [08:25] never had to do anything manually ever. [08:25] So no, I did not modprobe them. [08:26] why are the modules 5.4 [08:26] neverm ind my brain is fried tonight [08:27] yes modprobe them in and it should fix it [08:28] im going to stop looking at my 5.16.0 kernel, that fixed my bluetooth issue that 5.4 caused [08:28] Installed the latest from their .deb package instad of repo [08:28] dpkg -i [08:28] That worked. Now windos10 booted [08:28] ikky [08:28] =-) [08:29] https://bpa.st/W5HA [08:29] virtualbox-6.1_6.1.32-149290_Ubuntu_eoan_amd64.deb they gave me this as it's one package for 20/21 versions [08:29] mmm [08:30] Anyway [08:30] The main problem I wanted to boot windows was to fix some mising mesh nonsnese with morrowind [08:30] I start openmw in ubuntu and Iget lots of missing mesh errors in game [08:30] Anyway, on to that now [08:51] hey guys, i just installed Lubuntu 22.04 daily image fresh. Installation went fine. On first boot i see this https://imgur.com/a/B8NrJdW what to do ? [09:09] ph88, does it say anything else afterwards? [09:09] no it hangs there [09:12] ph88, i am not an expert in this, but i suspect you may wish to ask in #ubuntu-next , as this is not a normal release yet [09:17] ok [09:30] I was confused about the meaning of / at the end of a network adress, it is clear now. thanks to wasamasa from #emacs. === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [10:10] Hello Everyone [10:15] Hello ! [10:15] Anyone here ? [10:15] Hi moa [10:15] Hi ! [10:16] I have a problem, maybe someone in here will have an idea on what to do. [10:16] In short I'm trying to execute 3 commands at startup, the problem is that these 3 commands need to be executed as sudo, so the "official" startup utility doesn't work [10:17] So I created a routine on systemctl [10:18] Something like : [10:18] #!/bin/bash [10:18] # [10:18] # /usr/bin/autostart.sh: Local multi-user startup script. [10:18] sudo command1 [10:18] sudo command2 [10:22] I thing you can refer to this answer at stackoverflow https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/646116 [10:46] omg [10:46] why is linux/ubuntu so complicated [10:46] I just want to execute 3 commands at startup [10:47] On windows I just go on the startup menu, add those 3 commands, they execute at startup and everyone is happy [10:48] On linux I tried to add them to the autostart menu on the LXQt session settings, but they need to be executed as sudo so they don't work [10:48] So I create a service on systemctl, but only one over 3 work correctly [10:48] Why is everything so complicated on linux ???? [10:49] Each single setting takes litteraly hours to apply because everything is so intricated [10:49] Why make everything so complicated ? [10:50] Is it like an entry barrier ? Like Linux want to filter non tech savy users ? [10:50] I really don't understand it [10:50] it's not really complicated [10:50] Sorry but it really is [10:50] the problem is just that you don't understand it, because it's different from what you're used to [10:50] No it's not that [10:51] starting something at startup is trivial. There are GUI entries for that in both Gnome and KDE [10:51] On windows I use ctrl+alt+del, I have the autostart menu and I can add/remove commands. The end. [10:51] that's similar to what windows has [10:51] just less weird [10:51] no need to remember strange keyboard shortcuts [10:51] On linux I tried the official tool but it doesn't work, I tried systemctl but it doesn't work [10:52] systemctl is for starting things via systemd [10:52] that's a good option if you want to start services, or something else that's independent from a login session [10:52] I don't have a choice, session settings autostart doesn't execute things as root [10:52] but that's not something a normal user will need a lot [10:52] of course it doesn't [10:52] why would it run things as root? [10:52] windows isn't dumb enough to do that either [10:52] Because I need to use an executable as root [10:53] I don't care about the reasons [10:53] what for? Is it a service that should run permanently? [10:53] I cannot do it [10:53] or something that should run on login? [10:53] Remove middle-click from my touchpad, limit CPU TDP, apply undervolt [10:53] the two last need root access [10:54] And why wouldn't it run things as root ??? [10:54] 1. make a script for that. 2. Make a systemd unit for the script. 3. use systemctl to start it as root. [10:54] moa5505: because it'd be dumb [10:54] Already did those [10:54] login sessions are for users [10:54] still doesn't work [10:54] users can control their startup applications [10:55] Well my startup applications don't work [10:55] letting users start stuff as root would be a major security issue [10:55] So it's broken, as simple as that [10:55] you shouldn't break things then :P [10:55] No it just doesn't work [10:55] it's plain obvious that starting software via systemd works [10:56] otherwise you couldn't boot [10:56] systemctl services doesn't work as well [10:56] systemd is what starts everything on your system [10:56] who cares [10:56] It doesn't do what I want [10:56] it doesn't work [10:56] of course not. It only does what you tell it to do. [10:56] and that is probably not what you want. [10:57] software is like that. It doesn't matter what you want. all that matters is what it is told. [10:57] Hello, will the next LTS version of Ubuntu (i.e. Ubuntu 22.04) support root on ZFS? [10:57] #!/bin/bash [10:57] # [10:57] # /usr/bin/autostart.sh: Local multi-user startup script. [10:57] xinput set-button-map "ELAN1301:00 04F3:3115 Touchpad" 1 1 3 4 5 6 7 [10:57] ns12: it already does [10:57] It just doesn't work [10:57] cbreak: It appears to be "experimental" in Ubuntu 20.04. [10:57] Why is everything so broken on linnux [10:58] Why everything is a pain in the ass to do ? [10:58] ns12: yeah. Can't say if it will be less experimental, but it works already :) at least with 21.10 quite well actually [10:58] moa5505: Lay your eyes on the cute Linux penguin, and every fault will be forgotten. [10:59] cbreak: Is it still "experimental" in 22.04? [10:59] don't know. [11:00] Yeah, but looking at the cute pinguin won't give me my time back [11:00] Isn't 22.04 more or less frozen by now? It will be released in April. [11:00] "Linux is free, if your time is worthless" [11:01] moa5505: You could always defect from Tux-land to Beastie-land, Apple-land, or Windows-land. [11:02] Windows-land sucks more and more [11:02] cbreak: I guess I will wait until April 21 to find out. [11:02] But macOS did everything right (except the user/consumer restrictive policies) [11:02] If Linux stopped making everything so user unfriendly, they could have a chance [11:03] That's why even ChromeOS won more market share in 2 years than linux in 25 [11:03] your leaving a ton out [11:04] moa5505: I tried hackintoshing for a few years [11:04] it worked quite well, but I think the time for that is over. [11:04] mac users are users of their hardware. so thats the biggest appeal. and if you are familiar it could treat a person nice (app developers) [11:04] with the shift to ARM, apple pretty much made all hackintoshes stuck in the past [11:04] If my autostart menu actually worked and executed the commands I told him to execute I wouldn't have any problem [11:04] But no [11:05] keep practicing. mac intentionally will break an install process after upgrades. ive experience [11:05] On linux world, this would be too easy. So I have to create new services using command lines and manage 1000 other problems [11:06] you only need to do that if you want to run code with elevated privileges, and / or independent from a login session [11:06] And even doing that, it doesn't work at the end [11:06] as I said above: starting software at login is trivial [11:06] I don't care [11:06] I want to run something at start up [11:06] why do I have to use the command line for that ? [11:06] because it's unusual. [11:06] obviously you need to learn how to and its simple actually simpler than any other os [11:06] Why the "official" way doesn't work ? [11:06] it does work. [11:07] services are the way for startup daemons [11:07] it's the same on Mac OS [11:07] there you'd create a launchd script of course, instead of a systemd script [11:07] it's unusual to disable the middle click on the touchpad ? [11:07] and on windows it's also the same. There you'd create a system service entry in the registry, somehow. [11:07] It's unusual to run a simple executable on startup ? [11:07] Is there a comprehensive Ubuntu manual similar to the Debian reference, Debian handbook, and FreeBSD handbooks? [11:07] No [11:07] their prerequisites and you are right linux does take time but its not pessimistic time spent ill put my money on it [11:08] On windows I tell it to run something at startup, and it runs something at startup [11:08] no. [11:08] No matter the shit I throw him [11:08] Yes. [11:08] it starts it at login. As your user. [11:08] I did it hundreds of times [11:08] I don't care [11:08] it won't affect other users, obviously. [11:08] It starts and works [11:08] I don't care about anything else [11:08] I want something that works [11:09] just like on linux. [11:09] Nope [11:09] if you make it start something automatically, it will start it. [11:09] as your user. [11:09] when you log in. [11:09] easy. [11:09] Well it doesn't [11:09] I've done that dozens of times. [11:09] Well i've been trying for the last 5 hours [11:09] doesn't seem like it. [11:09] all you do seem to do is spout complaints and nonsense here [11:09] This should not take more than 2 minutes [11:10] you've not tried to solve the problem a single time. [11:10] Open startup menu, paste script, click okay [11:10] "Just werks" [11:10] lol [11:10] So you know better than I what I did ? [11:10] yes. [11:10] I've seen what you did here after all. [11:10] complain. [11:10] lol [11:10] Just press the any key [11:10] not asking questions. not giving evidence. not describing symptoms. [11:10] Then order a tab [11:10] So you ignore the hours I tried to solve this problem before [11:11] the rant looks bad cause there is so much engineering involve that you are trying to pass as doesnt exist [11:11] Okay give me a minute, I'll explain clearly what I want to do [11:11] it's plain obvious that what you claim is nonsense. [11:11] lol [11:11] because automatically starting things via systemd is at the foundation of the ubuntu startup process [11:11] if it wouldn't work, you would get stuck after grub. [11:13] systemd is what starts the login manager. and it later also starts X, when users log in. [11:17] I want to run 3 scripts at startup. One to disable the middleclick on my touchpad, one to apply a TDP limit to my CPU and another to apply an undervolt. [11:17] I tried to use the default autostart menu on lubuntu and add those commands, but they don’t work because the last two need to be executed as root. [11:17] So I created a new service with User = root, but this new service only launches 1 of the 3 commands. I checked the logs and apparently the middleclick disable cannot be applied because the service is executed before “xinput” can be executed, which is fine it makes sense, I guess this one can be added on the startup menu since it doesn't require [11:17] root. But the two last commands seem to be executed correctly and return proper return values in the logs, but when I check if the TDP limit was applied, it wasn’t for some reason... [11:17] Moa5505, look at passwordless sudo [11:17] Continue to use lubuntu startup [11:18] when you start a script via systemd, you can extend the script with logging, to verify if it has run. systemctl status should tell you that then. [11:18] You can set up sudo to not require sudo password for a particular user for a particular command, and I think it would resolve the issue. [11:18] this will of course not ensure that what you run will actually work, just that it is executed. [11:19] depending on where in the startup process you put your code, it might be too early [11:19] for example, if you want to interact with X, you'd probably want to do it after the graphical.target, after the display-manager.service [11:19] I checked the systemctl status, it tells me the TDP limit was applied, I get the correct executable returns, but If I check my current TDP parameters, they remain the same as default [11:20] so ... it ran the code, but your code didn't do what you wanted, or it did what you wanted and was changed back later by something else. [11:20] No the logs tell me the code ran successfully, but they didn't [11:20] My parameters remain the same [11:21] did you add code to check the parameters to the script? [11:21] man [11:21] that would let you verify if they have been applied right afterwards [11:21] If I execute manually the instructions I give to the service it runs fine [11:21] and it would allow you to detect whether they've been changed back by something else later [11:21] I'm not stupid [11:21] if systemd starts your script, then systemd did its job [11:21] It's just that the service executes it and it doesn't work [11:22] if your script then doesn't work, you'll have to debug your script. [11:22] omg [11:22] MY SCRIPT WORKS [11:22] that's not the issue [11:22] obviously not [11:22] are you even reading [11:22] Okay lets check [11:22] you said yourself it doesn't work [11:22] but it is started [11:22] It is executed [11:22] but it doesn't have any effect [11:22] yes. You said that before. [11:23] so it's not a problem with the starting itself. [11:23] it's a problem with either what the script does, or when it does it, or what happens afterwards. [11:23] Where can I past logs ? [11:23] paste* [11:23] the /topic mentions paste.ubuntu.com, but apparently that's bad. Do you have access to github gists? [11:25] This is such a waste of time [11:25] https://pastebin.com/UYNYyw3Z [11:25] The first lines are the logs from the service [11:26] The last lines are the logs if I check the current parameters [11:27] Notice how stapm_limit, fast_limit and slow_limit didn't change ? [11:27] so, run the command to check the values _inside_the_script_ [11:28] And if I use the command " sudo /home/tiago/Programs/RyzenAdj/build/ryzenadj --stapm-limit=15000 --fast-limit=15000 --slow-limit=15000" (like I have it on the service file), it runs fine [11:28] cbreak, why would I run that ? [11:28] ... didn't you pay attention? [11:29] as I said above: to verify that the values have been applied right after your script tried to apply them. [11:29] Why would I care if it returns the good values in the logs if the final result doesn't work ? [11:29] because you've shown that it's not a problem with starting your script [11:29] so systemd is doing what it is told [11:29] The important thing is that my CPU is TDP limited at startup [11:29] I don't care about anything else [11:30] Systemd is running it in a way that doesn't work [11:30] now, the problem to solve is to find out whether your script actually does what you want. And that's done by querying the result [11:30] because my CPU will have the default TDP at startup, not the one I defined [11:30] SUCH [11:30] A [11:30] WASTE [11:30]
