Assidhi.. so i have unbound which was installed with default ubuntu server..  and its set to 127.0.0.53 as per default.. however, I cant find the config where it looks for an upstream nameserver to query04:39

rfmAssid, I never heard of unbound before but it appears to be a pure cache, depending on  the system you're running it one haveing a working DNS config (which would be in netplan on a vanilla ubuntu_server.)05:38
rfmAssid, looking further, maybe I'm wrong. Looks like unbound goes straight to the root servers, configd in /var/lib/unbound/root.hints  (and no reason to ever change them...)05:48

vershani want to upgrade ubuntu from 22.04 to 23.10. when i do a dist-upgrade. I dont see anything available. I've ensure that I have the option ticketed for any newer versions saved07:11
vershan23.0407:11
lotuspsychj3!upgrade | vershan07:11
ubottuvershan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade07:11
guivercvershan, currently 22.04 only provides a support path to the next release, which is 22.10.07:12
vershan@guiverc, can i get there please07:12
guivercthe only supported upgrade path to 23.10 is from the prior release (ie. 23.04 to 23.10)07:12
vershanhow do i upgrade tom 22.04 to 22.1007:13
guivercvershan, I'll suggest reading the release notes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KineticUpgrades07:13
guivercalso be aware that 22.10 is nearing its EOL (later this month)... so you'll need to move to 23.04 very soon07:14
lotuspsychj3vershan: also be aware your plan, is moving from an LTS to a non-LTS ubuntu release07:14
lotuspsychj3ogra: ^ (war)07:14
guiverchttps://fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/06/14/ubuntu-22-10-kinetic-kudu-reaches-end-of-life-on-july-20-2023/07:14
guiverc(after 22.10 is EOL, you will be able to upgrade from 22.04 to 23.04 as it'll be the next release, but currently that is 22.10...)07:15
vershan@guiverc, ive done that its not finding 22.1007:15
guivercRelease notes for Ubuntu 22.10 are here - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/kinetic-kudu-release-notes/2797607:16
guivercvershan, its there; the upgrade will download https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release to see what's available where you'll note Supported: 1 against 22.10.. so you've other issues (network? sources issue? not fully upgraded? etc)07:17
lotuspsychj3vershan: check your software&sources icon, to see if you got LTS releases only ticked?07:18
guivercfyi:  to go to 23.10 the `-d` flag is used & this metafile is used; which shows releases expected if you look - https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development07:18
guiverc:) lotuspsychj307:18
vershan@guiverc, still doesnt find 22.10 as a new version. it just says everything up to date07:21
guivercthus I'd not consider what lotuspsychj3 as being a valid reason (ie. if your system being a LTS has been told to only offer upgrades to another LTS, it will ignore 22.10/23.04/23.10 anyway)07:22
guivercsorry ; I'd CONSIDER -- the not was a booboo !07:22
guivercI concur with what lotuspsychj3 said - what I'm trying to say!07:22
vershanmy system is ser for any newer versions and not LTS07:23
vershanDoes ESM repos have anything to do with this?07:23
guivercI'd check your sources (all lines are present,), they're updated (sudo apt update, with no errors/warnings etc), all upgrades applied (sudo apt full-upgrade) then try again..07:24
guivercI can't answer that sorry vershan (ESM repos)... I don't know enough about their use sorry07:24
vershan@guiverc, yeah ALL sources updated - no errors and upgraded no errors07:25
vershanis there a command from the terminal to force an upgrade maybe?07:26
guivercdo-release-upgrade comes to mind, which would be in the kineticupgrades link I provided I'd bet (server bit; but it works for desktop installs too)07:28
guivercalso please don't use the `-d` as per the doc I provided.. it's NO LONGER NEEDED07:28
vershan@guiverc, that works thanks07:28
* guiverc it was required when that doc was first published 07:29
vershannot sure why update-manager -d doesnt find anything07:29
guivercthe `-d` shouldn't be used; that doc I provided was outdated (-d was needed in early days after 22.10's release; hasn't been needed for awhile!)... the `-d` would have been a problem as that's now 23.1007:31
guiverc-d would have used the second metafile I provided (ie. 23.04 to 23.10 only! doc)07:31
* guiverc wonders if I should remove the `-d` from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KineticUpgrades (given it now creates issues)07:32
weedmicjust a suggestion, why not have an option in muon or synaptic - "new version available" "click to upgrade"?07:33
* guiverc removed the `-d` from kineticupgrades page07:50

weedmicwhich desktop environment are you using Beladona12:15
weedmicyou may wish to try #awesomewm Beladona - I don't know anyone who uses that12:19
ograBeladona, you could instead try to export things like XCURSOR_THEME= and XCURSOR_SIZE= somewhere in your session start scripts (not sure that works in such a bare setup though, depends how well your session is set up, it surely works on gnome and KDE)12:27
Beladonaweedmic awesomwm. noone in that channel replies.12:37
Beladonaogra trying12:37
Beladona71ogra ` export XCURSOR_SIZE=64` didn't do anuything12:38
ograBeladona71, ah, sad ... (as i said, i know it works in gnome and KDE, but tey set up their sessions in a more complex way i guess)12:42
nteodosioBeladona71, did you put that in your ~/.profile? It works here on dwm.12:43
konradosHey, there's a Linux server with multiple users, including "mike". There's a directory at /var/www/html/servers/primary/sysrq.net.pl/lab/xl/ and here's the situation: the group needs to be "www-data" because the nginx process runs under that user.12:50
konradosAt the same time, I can't grant access to every user on the server.12:50
konradosI am the owner of the directory, "konrad", with the group "www-data" (that needs to remain the same).12:50
konradosHow can I grant access to the user "mike" only for that specific directory, while still maintaining access for myself ("konrad")?12:50
konradosDo I really have to create another user, let's say "developer", and then assign permissions for that directory? Or is there a simpler option?12:50
konradosWithout ACL?12:50
konradosOh, sorry for the many messages, it was copy and paste :)12:51
Beladona71nteodosio I used .xinitrc and put the xetroot in it12:52
Beladona71then exec aswesome on second line12:52
nteodosioBeladona71, but where did you export XCURSOR_SIZE?12:53
Beladona71if I run xsetroot -xcf /usr/local/share/icons/redglass/cursors/top_left_arrow 64    on terminal. It does changes the cursor. but later when i launch an app, it reverts12:53
Beladona7164 is the cursor size12:54
Beladona71export XCURSOR_SIZE=64   in terminal does nothing12:54
nteodosioI'd think xsetroot only applies to the root window (i.e. the "wallpaper").12:55
nteodosioTry `XCURSOR_SIZE=64 xlogo`, does it work on that window?12:55
Beladona71try this where?12:57
nteodosioOpen a terminal, enter that command, and put the cursor in the new window that opens.12:57
tomreynkonrados: create a developer *group*, add anyone who should have write (or read) access (incl. www-data, if needed), and chown the directory / files to that group and mayke it sticky.12:58

proceEdHello friends. I have a VirtualBox instances of Ubuntu that I use on my Macbook. Its about 6 months old and not a lot of customizarions. today just out of the blue it said "Failed to download repository information" when running the software update. Nothing else. I dont think i have any crazy repos running. what is the best way to fix?13:00
ravageproceEd: and what version of Ubuntu?13:03
konradostomreyn - thanks, but I don't get it :( Can a group belong to another group? Like "devloper" group belonging to "www-data" group:13:03
tomreynkonrados: no, but users can be in multiple groups13:04
tomreynif www-data is in the developer group, than anything the developer group has permissions to, www-data has permissions to as well13:05
konradosYes, but tomreyn - I have read many times, that I should not add a user to the www-data group13:05
tomreynand i'm not saying you should do that13:05
konradosSo, what should I do?13:05
Beladona71nteodosio a logo icon appears as a new window. but cursor remains same on ubuntu. nothing happened on freebsd13:06
tomreyni'm suggesting you could add the www-data *user* to a developer *group*13:06
Beladona71brb13:06
nteodosioBeladona71, if you put the cursor on the logo, does it change size or stay the sAME?13:06
nteodosio^Accidental caps lock (:13:07
tomreynkonrados: be aware though that this means that anything the developer group has access to can effectively be exposed to the web13:07
konradostomreyn, thanks, I'll be back :)13:07
konradosyes, that is my problem!13:07

tomreynkonrados: i understand that your use case is this: you have two human managed (login) users on a server, both need to be able to edit some files. these files also need to be exposed to the web, so www-data should also have the same level of access to them. the easiest way to achieve this is a joint group for the three users. pick a good name to indicate its purpose.13:10
tomreynif you need different access levels of these users on these files, though, you'll need to do it differently.13:11
proceEdthanks ravage. its https://dpaste.com/2CXMUE54P13:11
tomreynkonrados: i.e. if the web server user should only be able to read, not write, you'll need to use a different approach. but your explanation didn'T cover such details.13:11
ravageproceEd: you added third party package sources that are no longer available13:12
konradosNo, only one dir, tomreyn - I want to give access to all the devs, write and read. Trying to understand what you said :)13:12

gordonjcpkonrados: two identical brand new SSDs, one with 22.04 on, one which is supposed to have 23.04 on13:19
konradosI still believe it's hardware, gordonjcp :) Try another pendrive. And a different cable.13:19
gordonjcpkonrados: okay great, it's not hardware13:20
gordonjcpif it was hardware neither would work13:20

OutOfServiceI know dnsmasq is using the correct dhcp options, and dns server is one of the options it provides15:02
OutOfServiceso... as people say on #ipxe, the kernel semms not to have support to resolve dns names, right?15:02
ogranot the kernel but the initrd should15:03
ograthe nfs mounting usually happens from the initrd in ubuntu, not directly from the kernel15:03
leftyfbOutOfService: the linux kernel doesn't do DNS. That is for userland programs. As ogra mentioned, as part of initrd15:03
OutOfServiceso, then what it seems to happen is that initrd is already not loaded at that moment, right?15:04
