Terminal-VHi. I want to use the same UFW rules for IPv4 for IPv6. Can I copy and paste the rules from my 'user.rules' file to my 'user6.rules' file and just changed the IPv4 IP addresses to IPv6 IP addresses?05:12
obiwan_how come my ethernet connection is limited to 100/mbps?05:15
Terminal-Vobiwan_ maybe because your network adapter or the device you are connected to can only do 100mbps.05:18
obiwan_Terminal-V: i don't think so because i connected the cable to my mac and i got 800+05:19
Terminal-Vobiwan_ are you getting 100mbps over a wired or wireless connection?05:20
obiwan_Terminal-V: I've only tried wired so far. But I only want to use wired because I will be using it as a NAS i think05:21
Terminal-Vobiwan_ what is the maximum network speed of the device you are connecting to when you only get 100mbps?05:22
obiwan_Terminal-V: well it used to be a windows machine and I got 800+ mbps as well.  Just when I turned it to ubuntu it slowed down.  Is it an issue with the OS or something else?05:23
Terminal-Vobiwan_ how were you connecting to it when it was a Windows machine... wired or wireless?05:24
obiwan_Terminal-V: wired05:24
Terminal-Vobiwan_ are you using the same devices to connect to each other, in the same way?05:25
obiwan_Terminal-V: yes everything the same, just the OS is diff05:25
Terminal-Vobiwan_ ok. Even the same cable(s)?05:25
obiwan_Terminal-V: yes05:26
Terminal-Vobiwan_ then I can't help you. Wait around.. someone who knows more about it will be here and will know.05:26
obiwan_Terminal-V: Ok thank you.05:26
Terminal-Vobiwan_ all good.05:27
Terminal-Vobiwan_ is your network port on your computer on the motherboard or on a card?05:28
obiwan_Terminal-V: I have no idea, it's just a laptop05:28
Terminal-Vobiwan_ did you change anything in the BIOS before installing Ubuntu or reset it to factory default?05:29
obiwan_Terminal-V: I am not sure, I just selected the erase disk and install option05:30
Terminal-Vobiwan_ do you require free and open source software right now? Or do you just want shit working?05:31
obiwan_Terminal-V: probably just shit working05:32
Terminal-Vobiwan_ sounds reasonable. There is an additional driver app in Ubuntu. Check it out. You may need drivers to use the full speed of your network interface and they may be available.05:33
obiwan_Terminal-V: what's the name?05:33
Terminal-Vobiwan_ of what?05:34
obiwan_Terminal-V: the driver app?05:35
Terminal-VTerminal its called Additional Drivers I think. It has a computer chip as an icon.05:35
Terminal-VI gotta go for lunch. Brb05:36

YoGauMhello !08:05
Terminal-VHello. I am using Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. I would like to remove a repository in 'apt'. I have commented out most of the repositories in '/etc/apt/sources.list', but I don't know how to remove all of them. One one line, the ending is "main restricted". If I want to remove the restricted repository, do I just remove "restricted" from the line?08:29
oerheks sudo add-apt-repository --remove restricted08:31
oerheksmaybe some installed packages stay behind08:32
oerheks-- purge might be a help08:32
Terminal-Voerheks thanks. :) That command did the trick! :)08:36
oerhekshave fun!08:36
Terminal-Voerheks would 'apt autopurge' help?08:36
oerheksautoremove* ..08:37
oerheksmaybe?08:37
Terminal-Voerheks I have one thing installed, from 'main'. :)08:37
oerheksthe use of --purge with that command would have removed packages too.08:37
Terminal-Voerheks sweet. I will reissue the command with the '--purge' parameter?08:38
Terminal-Voerheks I am worried it won't purge and exit once it see's the repository is already disabled.08:39
Terminal-Voerheks safe to try?08:39
oerhekstry apt autoremove first08:40
Terminal-Voerheks okay. '--purge' is invalid.08:40
Terminal-Voerheks apt is not fully documented, so not your fault. :)08:41
Terminal-Voerheks everything is good now. Thanks for your help! :)08:42
Terminal-Voerheks I'll be back later. Bye for now!08:42

Terminal-VHi everyone. I am using OpenVPN is static key mode and having trouble connecting using AES-256-CBC. When I try, the server log says something about an authenticate/decrypt packet error cipher final failed. Does anyone know what's going on?12:53
Terminal-VAnd, when I connect to default authentication in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, it works fine.12:53
Terminal-VI mean, when I connect with default cipher.12:54
Terminal-VThe server is running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I checked the available ciphers and AES-256-CBC is there.12:56
Terminal-VUbuntu Server 20.04 LTS12:56
oerheksaes-256-cbc is deprecated13:02
Terminal-Voerheks hi. No its not, its no under the depreciated list of available ciphers.13:04
Terminal-Voerheks its also the default negotiated cipher.13:05
oerheksyes it is.13:06
Terminal-Voerheks it is what?13:06
Terminal-Voerheks https://i.ibb.co/XFV99mz/Untitled.png13:08
weedmicandrei - no13:08
oerheks CBC is potentially vulnerable to padding attacks, such as POODLE. GCM is not.13:11
Terminal-Voerheks maybe, but that doesn't explain my problem. :)13:11
Terminal-Voerheks also, CBC can only be used is static key mode.13:12
tomreynTerminal-V: can you share the precise "something" the server log says when you connect? you're saying the remote (?) server runs ubuntu 20.04. what does the client / local server run?13:15

[Luca]hi there . i want to know how can i add iptables -I INPUT -s 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT on the server so that i don`t need to put this command every time after reboot to access http19:59
rboxjust disable ufw20:00
[Luca]it`s the only way ?20:00
rboxwhat do you mean "only way"20:01
rboxit sounds like you dont want a firewall...20:01
[Luca]so this command is that is all about ?20:01
rboxwhat?20:02
[Luca]iptables ...20:02
[Luca]it`s just like disabling ufw20:02
[Luca]?20:02
rboxno20:03
[Luca]i want to understand20:03
rboxunderstand what20:03
[Luca]if i reboot the server i need to put this command20:03
rboxyeas20:04
rboxbecause ufw enables firewall rules20:04
[Luca]to access http or znc or something else20:04
[Luca]got it20:04
[Luca]can i add this command somewhere to run after reboot20:04
rbox[01:00:01 PM] <rbox> just disable ufw20:05
[Luca]or is the same thing if i disabled ufw20:05
rboxits not the same thing20:05
[Luca]ok20:05
rboxbut disabling a firewall or allowing all connectison from anywhere is a very bad idea20:05
[Luca]got it20:06
[Luca]tnx rbox for help20:07
gordonjcpmeh, firewalls are such a Windows-y thign20:13
gordonjcp*thing20:13
rboxhas nothingt o do with windows...20:14
gordonjcpat work IT security policy requires firewalls on everything20:14
gordonjcpnot sure what advantage they're supposed to convey on Linux though20:14
rboxas thety shoulkd be20:14
gordonjcptotal waste of time20:14
rboxriofl20:14
gordonjcpidiotic20:14
rboxsomethign in this conversation is idiotic... thats for sure20:15
gordonjcprbox: okay, then20:15
gordonjcprbox: what's the advantage?20:15
gordonjcpwhat would having a firewall on a Linux server do?20:16
rboxthe same thing it does on any computer20:17
gordonjcpwhich is?20:17
rboxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_(computing)20:18
gordonjcpI know what it is, and the wikipedia definition isn't really that good20:18
causativeit closes ports so an adversary can't exploit vulnerabilities in applications on the computer20:18
gordonjcprbox: can you clearly and lucidly explain what advantage it would have?20:18
gordonjcpcausative: okay, but you don't need to do that20:18
rboxdont need to? rofl20:19
gordonjcpcausative: you can just not run things on those ports20:19
rboxand if you ARE running somethign...20:19
rboxor you want to restrict WHO can use it20:19
gordonjcpthen you configure your application correctly20:19
rboxROFL20:19
gordonjcprbox: here, have a crack at this20:19
* rbox ignores the morons20:19
gordonjcprbox: gjcp.net is a real physical server, one of several that I run20:19
gordonjcprbox: it runs Ubuntu 20.0420:20
causativeit's easier and more foolproof to set up a firewall to block all but ports X Y Z, than it is to ensure that every single application running on the computer is not using any other ports20:20
gordonjcprbox: it has no firewall20:20
gordonjcprbox: deface *any* website running on it20:20
gordonjcprbox: here, the root password is Prich]swyong520:20
gordonjcprbox: have at it20:20
gordonjcpcome back when you've defaced at least one site it serves20:21
gordonjcpliterally gave you the keys to the kingdom there20:21
gordonjcpawww, is it not working?20:22
gordonjcpI'm guessing the APNIC one is just normal Chinese government poking20:23
akikgordonjcp: try learning about firewalls first before saying things like that20:23
causativethe firewall can be configured to do that in *one* place, and to make sure every single application isn't doing it means you have to look in *many* places and read the documentation of many different programs and make sure none of them have undocumented behavior20:23
oerheksplease, stay ontopic, thanks20:24
gordonjcpakik: I know a lot about firewalls20:24
akikgordonjcp: doesn't sound like it20:24
gordonjcpakik: I just don't see the advantage in systems that can be locked down by default, and configured sensibly20:24
gordonjcpakik: okay, well, you can have a shot at getting into a non-firewalled machine too20:25
gordonjcpakik: it's hard to pick out who's just recently started with all the login attempts from Russia and China, I will say20:25
akikgordonjcp: here's an example; your users can start up daemons on high ports and they're accessible if you haven't blocked them with iptables20:25
akikgordonjcp: another example; you can keep sshd safely open on port 22 and then just filter it with the ip addresses that need access to it20:27
akiki did that for my landline isp's networks, blocked everything else20:28
gordonjcpakik: okay, but letting randoms start services is a problem generally20:28
akikthat's my $0.02. good luck20:28
gordonjcpakik: I'll grant you that is a viable use case, but I'd rather just drop traffic at the border router20:28
gordonjcpakik: re ssh, you can just configure sshd to do that, as the various "enthusiastic amateurs" in Russia are slowly figuring out20:29
jhutchinsThe problem with filtering ssh by ip address is that the system still has to deal with every packet of the attacks.  If you move ssh to a random port (not 222) you don't get the traffic in the first place.20:37

ubottugordonjcp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!20:37
gordonjcpjhutchins: security by obscurity, but it sure does help20:37
leftyfbgordonjcp: also, don't encourage unauthorized access in any manner.20:37
gordonjcpleftyfb: this is entirely authorised20:38
leftyfbgordonjcp: this conversation belongs in #security20:38
gordonjcpyeah, probably20:38
gordonjcpI'll just eat my popcorn and watch auth.log20:38
leftyfbgordonjcp: I guarantee if you present that same challenge there, you won't be happy20:38
tomreyngordonjcp: please chat about it elsewhere, though. this channel is for support, not for prove-me-wrong type discussions.20:40
loswedsededwhat could explain that thunar needs a second to react to my mouse prompts20:40
loswedseded?20:40
oerheksand, why is that slow?20:41
loswedsededit usually reacts instantly20:43
loswedsededlike click and the files gets marked20:43
tomreynloswedseded: would oyu know when this started to be slow? what else may have happened when this started?20:44
loswedsededactually 10 minutes ago, I believe after I mkvtoolnixed a file20:44
oerheksi sell my bed20:45
loswedsededI also installed android studio and that needed 13 GiB of space, but I don't see any correlation20:45
tomreynloswedseded: maybe this process is still running and you have a high system load?20:45
loswedsededill check htop I guess20:47
tomreynwhat's the current cpu load, how much free and total RAM do you have? how much free disk space on your ubuntu related file systems ?20:47
loswedsededbut I believe my system is a bit unsttable since I tried flash roms into 2 phones...20:47
tomreynunless this means you installed software from unreliable sources this would not cause ubuntu to become unstable20:48
tomreyn(or changed critical system configurations)20:48
loswedsedednope20:51
loswedsededeither my machine is too old to play x265 and it reacts like this or I should unmount disk images after Im done with them, but this never happened before: I used to leave iso images mounted for hours. This was never a problem20:52
jhutchinslouisa: How would transferring data to a ROM affect your system, unless it was the system cmos rom?22:41
hay207Hi guys22:50
hay207I want development of UFO alien invasion to continue22:51
hay207I wonder if ubuntu team can help22:51
hay207it is an open-source game22:51
hay207Very good turn-based game like Xcom22:54
jeremy31hay207: I doubt many people that could help are here22:55
hay207I hope ubuntu picks it up?22:55
tomreynthere are "ufoai" packages in most supported ubuntu versions. i can understand and share the desire to see continued development on this game. but this channel is not really a good place to bring this up. we mostly do self-support for using (not even developing) ubuntu here.22:58
hay207i don't know any other good channel to ask for help23:03
NickHhttps://ufoai.org/wiki/Contact23:03
tomreynhttps://forum.freegamedev.net/ may be a good place to bring it up23:04
tomreyn(that's if you're hoping to contribute)23:05
hay207Nice forum23:07
hay207I can try asking there23:08
hay207Thanks, bye23:13
jack269new 22.04.3 install, getting "report-error" on every boot , some one said to change hwe kernels ?23:47
