gneeriiloeepdeerwill that convert tak to flac?00:15
tomreynit will "decode" it, supposedly to wav? most likely not to competing compressed lossless audio format flac.00:16

deegoSo, I launch a terminal using M-T, and start typing. Sometimes, that happens before the terminal launches. And, certain keys, such as "a" or "v" launch this nice feature "find files on desktop."  How do I disable this nice feature?01:31
deegoThat is, if you type "a" or "v" on an empty desktop, this feature launches itself.01:32
arraybolt3deego: Sadly, it looks like this feature is part of a GNOME Shell extension that is included by default in Ubuntu, and it offers no way to disable the "find files on desktop" feature.01:35
deegoarraybolt3: thanks01:36
arraybolt3Sure, sorry that the answer was kinda crummy.01:36
deegonot your fault. thanks for answering01:37
arraybolt3(My info came from https://forum.manjaro.org/t/pressing-spacebar-on-the-desktop-brings-up-annoying-prompt-i-want-to-disable-this/86044 for what it's worth.)01:37
arraybolt3(And I have a GNOME Shell extensions manager on my system, thus how I know that the extension exists by default on Ubuntu.)01:37
arraybolt3(Turning off the feature makes stuff vanish from your desktop though :/ )01:38
arraybolt3(stuff = my "Home" icon)01:38
deegoah. thanks! On debian, I use xfce, because i don't want 1000 bells and whistles stealing my shortcuts with every apt install. On ubuntu, still getting used to things.. I'm not sure I should switch yet.01:38
arraybolt3deego: If you wanted Ubuntu + XFCE, you might check out Xubuntu.01:39
deegoah, will do01:39
arraybolt3It's the exact same OS as Ubuntu, but with XFCE rather than GNOME. It's an official Ubuntu flavor and is supported here.)01:39
arraybolt3(And it has different apps preinstalled, but whatever, you know what I'm trying to say :P)01:40
deegohaha, yes. i'm just .. scared of switching. So much effort put in to make things work with this one.  And, some weird matplotlib/wayland stuff that finally got to a working condition..01:41
arraybolt3deego: Makes sense. You might try running Xubuntu in a virtual machine just to see what you think first. It runs nicely for me like that.01:42

LionLinux1Hi10:25
LionLinux1I'm trying to randomize my hostname upon every device startup, I can create a systemd service to apply the hostname randomization using a system service, but I need the code to select a random line/word from a wordlist, can someone here help me with the code that says "Pick 1 random line/word from this wordlist.txt"?10:25
LionLinux1I think the code I got a few days ago was similar to "sudo hostnamectl set-hostname (someprogram 1 wordlist.txt)"10:25
LionLinux1And basically it would set the hostname to the output of the randomly chosen word from the word-list.10:25
ravageLionLinux1: shuf -n1  /usr/share/dict/american-english | sed "s/'//g" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'10:31
LionLinux1thats way more complex10:32
LionLinux1than the code I saw a week ago10:32
LionLinux1What do you think of this10:32
LionLinux1'sudo hostnamectl set-hostname (shuf -n 1 wordlist.txt)'10:32
ravageit will generate invalid hostnames10:33
ravagethe list includes '10:33
ograshuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/american-english10:33
ravagealso i prever lower case hostnames10:33
LionLinux1What if my list doesnt include '10:33
ravageif the list includes only valid hostnames you can use just shuf10:34
ograyeah10:34
LionLinux1yeah just words10:34
LionLinux1andrew, james, etc10:34
ograand you dont want sudo in there if it is a service handled script10:34
LionLinux1ok10:34
LionLinux1How can I make this .sh script run at startup, before the WIFI interface is brought up10:35
LionLinux1It has to fully work before WIFI interface is even starting10:35
LionLinux1So the hostname is set10:35
LionLinux1I suppose I could set this as a shutdown task too, to run as the PC shuts off10:36
LionLinux1Then when I boot up, the new hostname is already set from the last shutdown10:36
LionLinux1And is it shuf -n1 or -n 1 ?10:37
ravageboth works10:37
ogratry "Before=network-online.target" in your unit file10:37
ravagehttps://p.haxxors.com/ksto6q8r.txt10:38
LionLinux1perfect, thanks10:38
ravagesomething like this. but i have not tried it yet10:38
LionLinux1And would this code function? "sudo hostnamectl set-hostname (shuf -n 1 wordlist.txt)"10:38
ograor even before "network.target"10:38
tomreynand make sure you're not using / reconfigure services which expect a static hostname to work. such as mdadm raids.10:38
ograsee https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/10:39
LionLinux1The goal is to randomize my hostname so the WIFI router I connect to sees a new hostname every time I start my PC and connect10:39
ravagenot sure how that helps but if thats your goal so be it10:40
LionLinux1the goal is network anonymity10:40
LionLinux1I randomize my MAC addresses for the WIFI chip10:41
LionLinux1so I also need to randomize my hostnames10:41
ravageyou could just send an alternative dhcp name or none ar all10:41
ravage*at all10:41
LionLinux1woah thanks10:42
LionLinux1can i u help me pls10:42
LionLinux1'network-pre.target' looks perfect for setting the random host before boot10:43
LionLinux1before wifi comes on i mean10:43
ravagecheck /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf10:43
LionLinux1and then what10:44
ravagelook for "send host-name = gethostname();"10:44
ravageyou could replace that with your random string on boot10:44
ravagelike " send host-name = random123 ;"10:45
ravagei guess some script with as sed replace would be enough10:45
ravageLionLinux1, sed "/send host-name =/c\send host-name = `uuidgen | md5sum | cut -c1-12`" /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf10:52
=== om is now known as Guest2025

haohi, I'm having printer issue and google didn't give me much results. My printer is epson 3255 series, I'm on ubuntu 22.04, and already installed the driver which downloaded from the official epson site (although it seems to me this driver didn't do much, and the printer's description still saying "driverless")11:13
lotuspsychjehao: did you add the printer in gnomes systemsettings?11:14
haothe problem is about the print quality, on Mac, this printer have 5 level of printing quality to choose, and the output is very sharp even if I choose level 3. But on ubunut, there is only two option: Normal or High. but even the High option is kinda blurred.11:14
haolotuspsychje: how?11:15
haoI just installed the *.deb driver, and the printer showed up, I thought the driver setup is done11:15
lotuspsychjehao: systemsettings icon/printers/add printer11:15
haotrying to run systemsettings, gave me "command not found"11:16
haoI'll install it then try again11:17
lotuspsychjehao: systemsettings are default on gnome/ubuntu-desktop11:17
lotuspsychjethe grey gear icon11:18
haoyou mean the "Settings" gui app?11:18
lotuspsychjeyep11:18
haoit appeared in the printer list, I remember it was detected automactilly (It's a wifi connected printer), and also I remembered I have manually added it, too11:20
haois there additional step requried?11:20
haoI also treid tweak the options in localhost:63111:21
haobut in localhost:631, it has only two level of print quality,too11:21
lotuspsychjehao: you see the printer in the list in settings?11:21
haoyes11:22
haoIt's kinda weird though, cause I actually see two... only one of them is trully usable11:22
lotuspsychjehao: if it doesnt work properly, you can also click on the printers details to look for ppd file or drivers11:23
lotuspsychjesome cases it ads multiple printers indeed, use the one working11:23
haoI tried "searching for drivers", it showed something "cpus-filter1.**" at end, but the printer still tagged "driverless". as for ppd file, I don't know what it is, will do some google searching11:29
CptHaddockIs there any way to boot into a legacy bios from a live USB?11:42
tomreynCptHaddock: by "boot into a legacy bios" do you mean "booting an operating system installed in legacy bios mode" or "accessing the bios setup screen"?12:06
tomreyngenerally, what you boot from doesn't change the boot mode. the boot mode is defined by the (uefi?) 'bios' firmware and its configuration.12:07
CptHaddocktomreyn: Accessing the bios screen. I'm currently unable to get into bios setup using F2 or Del on an Acer laptop.12:07
tomreyndo you have a multi-boot setup with windows there?12:07
beansncheeseesc on asus12:08
beansncheeseoh acer you said nvm12:08
CptHaddocktomreyn: No. There was an issue with Windows and I wanted to demonstrate something with the LiveUSB and now can no longer get back into Windows :(12:09
tomreynCptHaddock: so that's an ubuntu live usb?12:10
CptHaddockYep12:10
tomreynyou can boot to the bios using:  sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup12:11
CptHaddocktomreyn: aye, I saw that, but I could only get the live usb working by switching to legacy bios from uefi in setup. So the firmware-setup command doesn't seem to work because there's no EFI12:11
tomreynCptHaddock: grep -e "^menuentry " /boot/grub/grub.cfg     # Does it list "System setup"?12:14
tomreynuh wait you need to do that for the grub.cfg that's on your persistent ubuntu installation, if any12:14
tomreyni guess if you can't boot anything in uefi mode then you have quite the catch22 there.12:16
tomreynah here's another approach, that can work (or could break your windows installation, hopefully you have backups):12:19
CptHaddocktomreyn: Yep, opening the case now to see if I clear the CMOS12:19
tomreynsudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb1 /mnt12:19
tomreynsudo umount /mnt12:19
tomreynthis assumes sdb1 is your main windows partition ("Drive C")12:20
tomreynCptHaddock: clearing cmos would be my last option - or setting a jumper, which can be less inconvenient. see hardware manual.12:21
tomreyngood luck.12:21
CptHaddockThanks tomreyn. Yes, I don't want to mess with the Windows installation atm. That said, the live USB will allow a dual boot system right? One that doesn't touch the Windows install?12:23
tomreynCptHaddock: If you can clean up the windows file system / remove the hibernation file, then the uefi booted ubuntu installer should offer to install next to an existing windows installation.12:25
tomreyni would not recommend installing ubuntu ins a different boot mode (legacy bios) than the windows installation.12:26
tomreyni do recommend disabling "fast boot / startup" in windows and the bios when you multi-boot. you shuold also fix windows (registry patch) so it will no longer expect the hardware clock to be in local time (but UTC)12:27
CptHaddocktomreyn: Thanks man. I'm going the CMOS route atm. I'll look into the dual boot option if this doesn't work. Cheers :)12:30
tomreynCptHaddock: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows discusses many of the dualboot problems and how they can be solved.12:30

seanhI can't access https://github.blog/ from my PC, with any app. For example `ping github.blog` gives "Destination Host Unreachable". Browsers can't reach it either. Only that domain is affected--other sites work fine. Other devices on the same network can access github.blog just fine. There's nothing in my /etc/hosts file. For DNS I'm using 1.1.1.1. I'm stumped. Any ideas?14:01
seanhIt's not temporary either. It has been broken for weeks14:07

cbreakseanh: do you have some weird routing table setup for 192.0.0.0/8?14:08
seanhcbreak: I haven't changed anything to do with IP routing deliberately. Where could I look for that?14:09
cbreakwhat's the output of `ip route`?14:12
cbreak(but really, github.blog sounds like some scam URL... I wouldn't trust it)14:16
OerHeksurl is valid.14:16
cbreakyes... but it's a URL a scammer would use14:17
OerHeksfor unclear connection issues; restart your router?14:17
cbreakseanh said other devices on the same network work fine... so I suspect something in the routing table to act up14:17
cbreakip route should show that... if it's caused by local routing...14:17
cbreakwell, have to make dinner...14:18
seanhcbreak: Here's `ip route`: https://gist.github.com/seanh/5b93532e6d38a68a080b0fb04417fb6f14:19
seanhI'll leave IRC connected and check back for any replies later14:19
OerHeksnot worthy to mention docker..?14:21
seanhOerHeks: could docker somehow be responsible for this?14:22
cbreakOerHeks: 192.0.0.0/8 dev br-29546c23ecb2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.43.1 linkdown  // this is the problem14:24
cbreaksorry, seanh14:24
seanhI was wondering about that in ip route's output as well14:25
cbreakcheck what created that bridge14:25
seanhI've no idea how I'd check that14:25
cbreakI have no idea how to do it, but if you remove that routing table entry / that bridge, it should work14:25
cbreakthe other 172 entries are also suspect14:26
cbreakwho ever set that thing up had no regard for the functionality of your network14:26
seanhThe br-* names are making me wonder if my Brother printer driver created these14:27
cbreakI'd think it's a bridge.14:27
cbreakbridge link show14:28
seanhcbreak: `bridge link show` outputs nothing14:31
tomreynseanh: try this:   sudo grep -Fra br-29546c23ecb2 /etc14:32
cbreakmaybe they're stale entries from something :/14:33
cbreakdid you ever use something like docker, lxc, or some vpn that might set up a bridge for some reason?14:34
cbreak(although docker's / lcx's bridges look different here)14:34
seanhtomreyn: nothing14:34
seanhcbreak: I do use Docker for development, yes14:35
cbreakbridge fdb show shows a lot more... not sure what those mean though14:35
seanhYeah `bridge fdb` gives more detail but none of it means anything to me14:36
tomreynwhat does    docker network ls    print?14:37
seanhI have some `docker0` bridges and a lots of these `br-*` ones14:37
seanhHere's `docker network ls`: https://gist.github.com/seanh/aabeec0099aff472912f0d69ef51d94c14:38
seanhI guess I could just try deleting these routes with `ip route del`14:40
tomreynseanh: note how those IDs match the IDs of your bridge interfaces14:40
tomreynso apparently those bridges are managed by docker14:41
tomreynyou'll want to get rid of or redefine the "sparky_spark_net" network allocation in whatever you use to manage docker14:41
seanhOk, so the 192.0.0.0/8 bridge (which I think is the one that's blocking github.blog) is 29546c23ecb2 which corresponds to a Docker container from a project called Sparky, which is one of my work projects14:43
seanhIt's Docker Compose I think14:43
tomreyn192.0.0.0/8 spans both public and private ip address ranges. configuring this for internal use is wrong in the first place.14:44
tomreynit also overlaps with your LAN's address range, making it even worse14:45
seanhtomreyn cbreak: Thanks, I took down the Sparky project's Docker Compose containers and now I can load github.blog again. I'll report the issue to the project's developers14:45
seanhThis was the docker-compose.yml file responsible: https://gist.github.com/seanh/fc8cfb4a016765bcb1496b6457331ce614:46
seanhI don't know Docker Compose networking but lots of 191.168 stuff in there14:46
tomreynline 9 should have said 192.168.43.0/2414:47
seanhtomreyn: Thanks, I have no idea what that means but I'll add it to the issue report that I'm writing14:48
seanhIt's a private GitHub project so I can't share the issue unfortunately14:49
tomreynyou could read up on network segmentation and RFC1918 sometime.14:51
seanhtomreyn: Thanks for the pointer14:52
seanhtomreyn cbreak: Here's a copy of the internal issue report that I wrote up: https://gist.github.com/seanh/d2f1417c407ece0a8e7cd3b0d5915e7514:56
seanhHuge thanks for this, it has been bothering me for weeks!14:56
seanhAnd now I can warn others off installing this project until we get that fixed14:56
tomreynseanh: your issue report should be fine to explain to someone who is into basic networking segmentation and understands private / public IPv4 address ranges what the problem is. And hopefully someone in your org understands those basic principles. there is also #networking and probably #docker if you folks have more questions on these topics.15:01
seanhtomreyn: Thanks!15:04
cbreakseanh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses15:06
tomreyni don't know much about docker networking, but would hope that it has a way to automatically choose a suitable (unused) RFC1918 subnet for a given project (during docker-compose). the fixed subnet allocation as it's done in this docker-compose.yaml file will certainly cause problems for one or the other user.15:06
seanhtomreyn: Not an expert myself either but at a glance that looks to me like we're doing something totally dodgy/wrong in order to try to connect the Docker containers together when I believe Docker Compose already sets them up to be able to access each other by default15:07
tomreynhttps://github.com/docker/compose/issues/4336 seems to suggest that specifying a fixed address range for a project should not be done, and instead docker should pick a suitable range by whatever means it has for this purpose.15:09

MonoLIs this an appropriate place to express my joy and appreciation of snaps?19:23
jhutchinshao: If you turn on verbose text for booting you'll see a lot of un-necessary stuff being loaded or tried to load and failed because there's no hardware there.19:23
jhutchinsMonoL: Probably not.19:23

enigma9o7[m]Do packages in universe get security updates?  Or only main?20:29
Habbiethe short summary is "don't count on anything in universe"20:30
mrecin snap packages are IPC, shared memory and eg. unix domain sockets shared with the host?20:45
ravagemrec, sounds like a question for #snappy20:46
mrecravage: thanks!20:48
hayscan i use ufw to forward port 8443 to 44321:42
haysi find scant info on the internet that this is possible without using iptables21:43
EriC^^hays: you should be able to, ufw is just a front for iptables21:46
haysit seems like i can forward a port without changing the port number21:47
EriC^^hays: https://serverfault.com/questions/238563/can-i-use-ufw-to-setup-a-port-forward21:47
haysheh, yeah... so iptables21:48
EriC^^below it mentions something about having it after ufw 0.34 or something21:49
BlackOpsUFW is da shit!21:49
BlackOpsSorry - had to say that. It's a light footprint, it installs real fast, and it's so much simpler than Windows firewalls21:50
BlackOpsCarry on - I won't make more noise21:50
eelstrebori'm going to have to find a new browser for linux - firefox keeps crashing21:55
jhutchinshays: iptables is what does the forwarding.  That's like saying you want to run linux without loading the kernel.21:59
haysisn't ufw a front end to iptables21:59
jhutchinshays: Yes.22:00
haysso it seems like to do this i need to edit a file rather than issue a command22:01
hayse.g.  /etc/ufw/before.rules22:02
=== main_ is now known as legopowa
jhutchins!ufw22:05
ubottuUbuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo22:05
jhutchinshays: I dunno, I always just wrote iptables rules and used one of the methods of saving and applying them.   UFW does the same thing, but with a wrapper.22:06
haysyeah. my bind is that if i want to use ufw, it appears im put in the position of interactively editing a file22:07
haysso maybe i can't use it for this use case, since this is easy to do non-interactively22:07
hayswith iptables22:07
Guest75Hi fellows. Is this chat the adequate local to ask for help from "sudo do-release-upgrade"?22:19
Bashing-omGuest75: Yes - state the issue.22:21
Guest75Thanks Bashing-om!22:22
Guest75I have a dell inspiron with system in a ssd and home in hdd. I searched about how update 20.04 to 22.04, but this was fruitless.22:23
enigma9o7[m]If sudo do-release-upgrade is failing, it's probably good idea to share the full output in a pastebin (i.e. paste.debian.net) for us to look at.22:24
Guest75after sudo do-release-upgrade in terminal, opened from nautilus, I receive these error messages.22:24
Guest75oh. great! I will post the outputs...22:25
Guest75http://paste.debian.net/1254304/22:27
Guest7512http://paste.debian.net/1254304/22:39
Bashing-omGuest7512: I can not make much of the trace - what shows ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' ?22:43
enigma9o7[m]first `export LC_ALL=C`22:44
Guest7512All fine. I have did these before and all is updated. 'do-release-upgrade"22:44
enigma9o7[m]that'll set your terminal english til you exit22:44
enigma9o7[m]make it easire for us to understand22:44
enigma9o7[m]Hmmm.22:45
Bashing-omGuest7512: Then does ' sudo dpkg --configure -a ' say that the package manager is happy happy ?22:49
Guest7512thanks enigma9o7[m]! but "export LC_ALL=C" didn't put results in english22:49
enigma9o7[m]weird22:50
enigma9o7[m]I thought it did.22:50
enigma9o7[m]Just ignore me then.22:50
Guest7512"sudo dpkg --configure -a" fine22:51
ZepelerNow I enter via a client. My problem, I suppose, is related to ubuntu instaled in a SSD and Home in a HDD23:01
Guest7512Zepeler is the same gues...23:02
ZepelerThis is my output of "user@user:/$ sudo do-release-upgrade. I trying upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.23:11
Zepelerhttp://paste.debian.net/1254304/23:11
arraybolt3Zepeler: I wonder if setting the system to display only in English would fix it? I see that the error seems to be related to a Unicode something-or-other.23:14
ZepelerSounds good @arraybolt3. I will change language system.23:16
arraybolt3Zepeler: Just FYI, you may want to back up all of your data real quick. You should usually do this before trying to upgrade your system.23:27
arraybolt3(Make sure to get any passwords saved in your browser or password manager, if you use features like that)23:27
arraybolt3(FYI = for your information)23:28
OerHeksand test your backups.23:28
ZepelerNow, in english...23:28
Zepelerhttp://paste.debian.net/1254305/23:28
OerHeksdid you run a proper apt update before? new lists23:30
=== blackest_mamba_ is now known as blackest_mamba
Zepelerthanks @arraybolt3. I made backup today.23:31
arraybolt3Zepeler: Can you run "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999" in a terminal, then send the link that command outputs?23:31
Zepelerhttps://termbin.com/89za23:34
arraybolt3(It's getting hung up on some file not being found I can see, but the file that isn't found looks like it ought to be being created, so it might be related to the non-standard partition layout like Zepeler thought initially. Not sure.)23:35
Zepeler@OerHeks. Thanks. sudo apt-get update is fine.23:35
BlackOpsWho has any advice on how to check for memory corruption or suspicious memory share other than using memstat?23:35
BlackOps*rkhunter has given me a warning23:36
OerHeksmemtest8623:36
BlackOpsOh, I should have typed that as well23:37
BlackOpsBut that's for memory corruption. I need to find out which process is secretly eating memory or detect a rootkit23:37
BlackOpsOf course, if it's at the firmware level, that gets real hard and scary23:37
arraybolt3BlackOps: Did you do anything in particular that would give you cause to think that a rootkit may have been installed (i.e., installed software from an untrustworthy source, or left your system alone where a malicious user had physical access to it)?23:38
OerHeksbut you run debian23:38
BlackOpsYes ... strange input/output behavior, some of which I have fixed but it's anomolous23:39
BlackOps*anomalous23:39
BlackOpsI think I fixed some of it with imwheel ... You can do a man of that program after installing it with sudo apt install imwheel -y and it is a cool program. But I'm still seeing things that don't add up. A user made an offhand comment as a joke but when I thought about it ... him insinuating playfully that I've been hacked, I started getting23:40
BlackOpsparanoid. Could just be in my head23:40
BlackOpsI ran a who and there's not a suspious userĀ  on my host23:40
BlackOps<who> command23:40
arraybolt3BlackOps: Oh dear. I highly suspect that a BIOS-level rootkit isn't the problem, due to the high effort and low payoff such a rootkit would take to run, but if malware is installed on your system, the best course of action is a full wipe and reinstall. That's the only near-guaranteed way to remove malware.23:41
arraybolt3If you already have backups, that's best, if not, you can make a backup and then try to recover the data from it later (hopefully without bringing back the malware).23:41
BlackOpsYes, I have Clonezilla backups23:42
BlackOpsBut if I do that, I can't study the behavior as it will be eradicated23:42
BlackOpsI apologize if I am not helping by mitigating advice. JustĀ  trying to think it through23:42
arraybolt3BlackOps: I see what you're saying. However, studying the behavior is likely not in your best interest. Malware analysis is an advanced job, malware eradication is all you should be worried about unless you work as a malware analyst (in my opinion, anyway).23:43
BlackOpsI'm in /var/log from rkhunter23:43
BlackOpsI have a master's degree in cybersecurity23:44
BlackOpsI know how to study it ... I just thought, well, I'm using Ubuntu. There might be a security expert in here too23:44
arraybolt3BlackOps: Oh. Well if that's the case, then malware analysis is exactly what you want to do. I don't know enough to have good advice there, sadly. I think there's some file that gives you full access to the entire RAM of the system somewhere though (kcore?).23:45
arraybolt3(I believe it only exists if Secure Boot is disabled. And obviously it requires root privileges to access.)23:45
arraybolt3Lemme see if I can find it...23:45
BlackOpsYes ... it's also scrary. I created a trojan the other day and it escaped the VM files and into the host from the guest23:45
BlackOpsBut I won't go off topic23:45
BlackOpsCarry on23:45
arraybolt3BlackOps: I think /proc/kcore is the file that gives you full RAM access.23:47
BlackOpsPerfect - that's exactly what I was looking for, to the 'T'23:48
arraybolt3As for how to *parse* that mess, no clue, but there it is.23:48
BlackOpsLooking for size discrepancies23:48
BlackOpshttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/243239/why-is-the-size-of-proc-kcore-file-so-bigger-than-the-physical-memory-size23:48
