[00:33] I seem to be in the wrong chat room? [00:34] jim_hitek: how did you install strongvpn? [00:35] Lemme think...not sure there's any install to do actually, I'll have to go look, I've had it for years. [00:37] Oh, it's an interface thing in the Networking setup in the VPN section. I set it up there using the strings that I find on my acct pages at the URL strongvpn.com [00:38] So it is a setting. What is the workaround? [00:38] I've had a Strong VPN tech working on this for nearly a week and he walked me thru some stuff which didn't work. He eventually turned it over to there engineering deptment. I'm just checking if there's another router to a fix. [00:39] The work around is a wget called up in TERM. Do you need a copy of the whole URL that follows wget? Would that be a security thing for me or strong? (I have no idea). [00:40] I would suggest to ask them about whether it is ok to share the wget workaround with an online chat forum, and then come back here [00:40] did anyone here get compiz and emerald working, im using the LTS version [00:40] and it just makes the borders disappear === mkv is now known as m4v [00:41] Okay. Thx gry. [01:13] StrongVPN says this about the workaround: It would be sharing your configuration with a public forum. [01:13] As long as you don't share your username and password, I think it is fine. [01:13] So I'll post it here, sans usr & pswd: wget https://wg.strongvpn.com/assets/files/strong-wg.sh && chmod +x strong-wg.sh; sudo ./strong-wg.sh [01:19] @gry...see above. [01:21] I'm connected to the StrongVPN server now using that cumbersome wget method/workaround now. [01:32] got compiz working in mate [01:32] woot [01:36] i guess mate is just the best lol [01:36] how to make ubuntu faster [01:37] it depends upon what is slow [01:37] LinuxakiasGR: On what hardware ? On my ole hardware I found that xubuntu ran well :) [01:38] this may help you figure out what your system bottlenecks are https://www.brendangregg.com/USEmethod/use-linux.html [01:38] i mean general linux settings [01:38] and kernel [01:38] thanks sarnold checking [01:44] now it works on kde but everything is so big === esv_ is now known as esv [02:16] anyone know why my plasma desktop only works when mate previously enabled compiz and everything is 5x as big [02:17] if i dont launch compiz from mate, it doesn't work [02:17] so... im in a delima ;d [02:24] hmmm [02:40] is there tools to find duplicated files according to similarity of file names instead of by hashing/sum? [02:44] hao: interesting question; the first thing that comes to mind: find . -printf "%f %P\n" | sort [02:47] what does %P print? the manual is a bit vague, what's "found removed"? [02:47] also reading this: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_dedupe/ [02:47] I'll do some experiments [02:48] hao: hah, %p vs %P doesn't make much difference with a starting point . ... [02:56] sarnold, thanks, this trick works, but I kinda hoping can find a tool that filter out the duplicates so I can decide what to do (interactively or not), not a shell wizard, so... still digging [02:57] hao: ah, yeah.. turning this into a tool might be a fair amount of work [02:57] if you wanted *exact* matches, that might not be hard [02:57] but similar is difficult :) [03:00] in the end, I might just use a tools that do hash comparison... [03:04] hah, this isn't quite what I was expecting, but it seems to work okay for identical filenames [03:04] find . -printf "%f %p\n" | awk '{names[$1] = names[$1] " " $2;} END {for (name in names) { print name, names[name]; } }' | sort [03:11] * hao need a refreshment for gawk, opening the book ...

[05:21] http://paste.debian.net/1267644/ [05:38] chonkin: Let's try this - re-install that last kernel, as it should still be in the repo. [05:39] just to be clear, which exact number should I re-install? [05:40] chonkin: sudo apt install linux-headers-5.15.0-57-generic linux-hwe-5.15-headers-5.15.0-57 // the rest fillows if these install/ [05:41] my uname -a gives [05:42] 5.15.0-58-generic #64~20.04.1-Ubuntu [05:43] chonkin: But the nvidia driver is looking for the -57 kernel version. And you do want to keep that next to current kernel (-57) on the system, yes ? [05:44] no, I can destroy any of those at will [05:45] chonkin: And you now see the consewunces of such an action - no longer able to boot :D [05:45] after I install that kernel, I should still boot to the .0-58 , ? [05:45] consequences* I am so tired I have troule typing ! [05:46] chonkin: yeah -- will still boot that latest - we still have the images for -57 to install after the headers are installed. [05:50] should I "get" this kernel while in recovery mode, or just do it in a terminal in gnome? [05:52] chonkin: does not matter - as soon as we are all done with install --reinstall of the image files you will reboot and we see what remains to be done. [05:54] chonkin: Once all installed and rebooted - we will then Rebuild all modules for the currently running kernel. [06:02] okay im back to the terminal [06:03] chonkin: the header files installed ? [06:03] yes [06:04] chonkin: then do ' sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-5.15.0-57-generic linux-modules-5.15.0-57-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-57-generic // reboot to see what we now have. [06:13] alright back to terminal [06:15] chonkin: Booted normally - and all seems good ? [06:18] frozen at boot [06:18] the blinking cursor is frozen [06:19] chonkin: Yukkie - OK - verify the booted kernel - ' uname -r - and if the 58 kernel then run ' dkms autoinstall ' . [06:25] hmmm.. it appears to me that you want to go down the rabbithole of rebuilding something from source here [06:27] dkms autoinstall [06:27] it comes back with no output [06:27] chonkin: I expext that in the rebuild the Nvidia driver will switch from the old -57 kernel to the -58 version that you are booting. [06:30] chonkin: Generally "no output" is success -- what shows now ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' for the kernel version that the driver sees ? [06:32] uhhh let me just pastebin that. I see two duplicates that are worrying [06:34] http://paste.debian.net/1267651/ [06:36] I see "rc linux-objects-nvidia-515-5.15.0-57-generic" and no -58 - now that is a bother ! what issue do you see ? [06:37] there is a duplicate linux-objects---- one for 0-46 and another for 0-57 [06:40] chonkin: There should be a objects line for each installed kernel version - // we do not see the -58 version ! /// want to try and re-install the nvidia driver // see what haps ? [06:43] This would be a reinstall of -515? or -525? [06:44] chonkin: I fully expect that the kernel will choose to install the 525 verion, autoinstall :D [06:51] -525 depends xserver-xorg-video-etc-etc-525 which is never released on 20.04 focal [06:53] -525 depends nvidia-compute-utils-525 which is never released on 20.04 focal [06:54] chonkin: Try as ' sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-* ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall '. [07:05] Interested in trying to help if possible, context? Looks like NVIDIA nonsense. [07:05] Bashing-om: ^ [07:07] Bashing-om: now there are 5 of these linux-objects http://paste.debian.net/1267654/ [07:07] arrayboltXE: Yeah - OP looks to have pulled the kernel that the Ncidia driver depended on - reinsta;;ed that -57 bersion kernel and still not able to get the driver to see the cirrent booted 58 kernel // try a driver re-install, see if that pickes up the booting kernel. [07:09] Hmm. Dunno any nifty tricks for that, looks like you've got this. I'll stand by and watch and have input if I notice something I can try to help with. [07:10] chonkin: "rc" --- lets get rid of the cruft -- dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P [07:11] O_O [07:11] Sometimes Bash (and awk) can be ugly. :P [07:12] okay i'm getting this after a normal boot http://paste.debian.net/1267655/ [07:12] While there is no built in way to remove all of your configuration information from your removed packages you can remove all configuration data from every removed package :D [07:12] chonkin: Well that looks good. [07:13] I am wondering why there are two different versions of the NVIDIA drivers installed at the same time (or at least so it seemed - maybe parts of one driver?). Though if it's working, I personally wouldn't mess with perfection.

As for distro obfuscation... why? This sounds like something that you could break your system doing. [09:06] Guest78: If you need your computer to look like Fedora, you could run Fedora in a virtual machine and then make the VM fullscreen. [09:06] Oh.

That being said you need to add /home/"$USER"/bin to your $PATH [13:09] It's basically a system where I don't have root access. [13:09] Thanks, though! [13:10] johnkelbos, what actually you are trying ? run a java program than you need to set environment variable else install java as non-root user than you can execute [13:11] Anybody who fancies slick VTs, please help me test my output-rotation patch to kmscon (see https://blog.macslow.org/?p=365 for documenation and links to code and .debs).

I'll have both versions of grub on there so it may get dicey. [16:13] Whoops, I tried to lvreduce my partition to 400GB but i typed 400MB. I managed to re-extend it but is there any way to get the data back? fsck seems to want to put every single thing in lost+found === xubuntu is now known as eater_500 [16:16] eater_500: photorec can recover lost data if you like [16:17] !info testdisk | eater_500 [16:17] eater_500: testdisk (7.1-5build1, kinetic): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Built by testdisk. Size 401 kB / 1,483 kB [16:20] lotuspsychje: intriguing, thanks [17:48] hello guys. just updated a VPS to Ubuntu 22.0 and I'm facing this issue: https://0bin.xyz/view/7c0886b9 [17:51] PeGaSuS: can you try again? maybe the failure in name resolution was an intermittent issue? [17:52] PeGaSuS: what is the output of 'host download.webmin.com' in a command line terminal? [17:56] gry: the issue remains. all "host " fails with: Host download.webmin.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) [17:56] those are temporary dns failures PeGaSuS - just try again later [17:56] can't be.. worked just before the upgrade [17:57] lemme check something.. [17:57] PeGaSuS: To be clear, does it always return the webmin name, or is that just the name of the host you were looking up? [17:58] ! webmin [17:58] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [17:58] jhutchins: that's host I was looking up. fails with nl.archive.ubuntu.com too [17:58] PeGaSuS: How about just archive.ubuntu.com? [17:59] same error: Host archive.ubuntu.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) [17:59] my resolv.conf doesn't seem okay: nameserver 127.0.0.53 [17:59] probably the issue comes from there? [18:00] PeGaSuS: Are you actually running webmin? [18:01] webmin is a disabled systemd unit (or should be) [18:01] PeGaSuS: I haven't seen .53 used for a local host. :53 is the port for DNS. [18:01] I just use webmin to manage mysql/postgresql databases.. not the system [18:02] PeGaSuS: phpmyadmin would be a much better choice. There's every likelyhood that webmin is messing with your DNS. [18:02] I have webmin on a 22.04 VPS and never hadd issues. and it was active during upgrade [18:03] never used phpmyadmin. I can try it later on [18:04] changing to `nameserver 8.8.8.8` seems to solve the issue [18:10] Hello [18:19] hello [18:19] need help with 22.04 [18:20] upgraded from 20.04 [18:20] now [18:20] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [18:20] libspa-0.2-bluetooth : Depends: libspa-0.2-modules (= 0.3.48-1ubuntu3) but 0.3.51-1~ubuntu20.04 is to be installed [18:20] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

[18:53] ! [18:56] ? [19:03] Hi, I used dd to copy a half-full 1TB drive to a 500G drive. But how can I fix the partition table for the 500G drive, which thinks it is too small? [19:04] eater_0: I don't think you can do that. ext4 doesn't necessarily always save your files at the beginning of the drive's empty space. [19:04] Meaning you could have a lot of missing data doing this. [19:05] eater_0: Probably the best way to do what you're trying to do would be to format the 500G drive so that it matches the 1 TB drive in partition layout, then use rsync to clone each filesystem to the new drive. [19:05] arrayboltXE: the active partition on the 1TB drive was 510G, so hopefully not too much lost? anyway this is a rescue attempt, because the 1TB drive is gone, so any surviving data is welcome [19:06] You don't have the 1 TB drive on you at all anymroe? [19:06] i have the physical drive but it's kind of unreadable [19:06] But if the active partition was small enough to fit, then you may be able t orecover it. [19:06] The first thing I would do would be, if at all possible, get a second drive and clone to it also. That way if you mess something up, you can try again. [19:06] yes, that's what i'd like to do [19:07] Once you have a second backup copy (if possible), then I'd try using TestDisk to recover the whole partition. [19:08] You might also end up needing to repair it, depending on how much data was lost off the end of the drive. [19:08] This is *very dangerous*, so it's really recommended that you make that backup copy. [19:08] yeah, I have backed it up [19:08] I did run testdisk to write a new partition table but I am still left with that error message [19:09] "WARNING: Device /dev/sdb2 has size of 975720448 sectors which is smaller than corresponding PV size of 1071560704 sectors. Was device resized?" [19:10] Hmm. What happens if you open the drive with parted? [19:11] It *might* be able to shrink the size of the GPT... whatever-you-call-it (it's not a partition, but it holds the whole drive, I believe) [19:11] Lemme try some tests with an image file. [19:12] thanks! parted sees a 500GB partition with lvm2 flag [19:12] This might take me a bit. [19:13] Take your time! i appreciate it [19:13] can you see the partitions? [19:14] @ducasse: yes [19:14] did you try mounting it? [19:15] mount says "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" [19:16] Oh tar, so you have LVM involved in this too. [19:16] OK, I'll take that into account. [19:16] yeah, I haven't dealt with LVM before and it seems to be annoying [19:17] So, to be clear, you originally had an LVM volume spanning the entire 1 TB drive, and inside it, a ~500GB ext4 filesystem? [19:19] Yes I believe that is the case. it was 500GB ext4, 500gb unallocated === beaver is now known as i`see`u`baby [19:19] OK. Dunno how much that will interfere or not, lemme find out. [19:30] eater_0: Alright, I finally have a somewhat similar setup in an image file (LVM is a pain). Now I'm going to truncate it and see if the partition is recoverable. [19:31] thank you... [19:38] Hey looks like I got it! [19:39] eater_0: So because of the truncated LVM, you probably can't get it back, however you can probably recover the ext4 partition inside (or at least try to get data out.) [19:39] ok, how do I recover the ext4 partition? [19:40] One moment while I get good directions. I don't think the partition can be recovered, but you can probably copy the files out of it and onto a good disk. [19:40] eater_0: Alright, so what disk is the damaged one? [19:40] /dev/sdb? [19:41] If that's right, do "sudo testdisk /dev/sdb". [19:42] OK [19:42] Alright, make sure /dev/sdb is selected, then select Proceed. [19:42] Partition table type is *probably* EFI GPT, but it might be Intel. [19:42] I'd use whatever kind it autodetects. [19:42] yes, EFI GPT [19:43] Alright, now Analyse, then Quick Search. [19:43] (This won't find it right off the bat, but it will get us closer.) [19:43] and testdisk detects two partitions, EFI System and Linux LVM [19:43] OK, select the Linux LVM. [19:43] (Yes, it may be listed as "can't be recovered", that's normal.) [19:44] it's selected, it doesn't say it can't be recovered [19:44] eater_0: Nice, select it, then select the "Linux filesys. data" entry. [19:44] Next, "Deeper Search". [19:44] This may take a while depending on the speed of the disk. [19:45] I do not see a Linux filesys data entry but I do see Deeper Search [19:45] eater_0: Once the deeper search completes, you will have probably a few "Linux filesys. data" entries. [19:45] OK, then do the deeper search. [19:45] lots of results and errors here [19:46] MS Data, Linux filesys data, BeFS! [19:46] eater_0: It might take a while, eventually you want to get to a screen where it has "P: list files". [19:46] Once you get to that point, select each individual detected partition, and press P. One of them should open up and show you your files. [19:47] all right, will do. it is 1% through the deeper search [19:47] (BeFS? Wow. lol, wonder if it's finding pieces of VM images or something? Did you ever have a Haiku VM?) [19:48] nope! i think it is just trying to make sense of what it finds [19:48] "Warning: number of heads/cylinder mismatches 16 (NTFS) != 255 (HD)" [19:48]
