| Anonamy | hello I need help. I am using a Ubuntu Live CD to access a hard drive on a computer. | 02:32 |
| Anonamy | the hard drive is also Ubuntu. | 02:33 |
| Anonamy | I am trying to backup the home directory, however I am getting permission denied error. I check the permissions and it says the user is '1000' | 02:33 |
| Anonamy | I tried also using 'sudo thunar' but still get same error. | 02:34 |
| rbox | just open a console, sudo -i, cd to the directory, and copy whatevery ou want | 02:34 |
| Anonamy | rbox, thanks ! | 02:41 |
| zcot | Anonamy: you can check a right click in thunar, "open as root". sudo thunar is not the best move, although not as much of a big deal on a live session but winging sudo as any resort is not great. 'pkexec thunar' would be a more designed solution. | 02:43 |
| Eickmeyer | If it's an Ubuntu live CD, zcot, it doesn't have thunar. | 02:45 |
| Akshay | Hello, I am currently dual booting an older version of Ubuntu (20.04) on my PC build! I, however, keep running into an issue after installation where I get stuck at the recovering journal with a message that says something like iwlwifi ... no suitable firmware found. I also can't enter Ubuntu recovery mode because I don't have a grub menu and have | 02:49 |
| Akshay | to change my boot order manually through the BIOS to switch from Ubuntu and Windows. Can anyone help? :) | 02:49 |
| zcot | Eickmeyer: ah! right, didn't pick up the flavor variation there. | 02:51 |
| rbox | Akshay: step 1, back up your files, step 2 intall a modern version, step 3 profit | 02:52 |
| Akshay | What if I need an older version though? I'm using ROS and need 20.04 lol | 02:52 |
| rbox | use docker | 02:52 |
| Eickmeyer | rbox: That's not helpful. | 02:53 |
| Eickmeyer | Akshay: I had to do that with my son's laptop by using refind as a bootloader instead of grub. | 02:53 |
| Eickmeyer | !info refind focal | 02:53 |
| ubottu | refind (0.11.4-1, focal): boot manager for EFI-based computers. In component universe, is optional. Built by refind. Size 2,706 kB / 4,489 kB. (Only available for amd64, arm64, i386.) | 02:53 |
| Eickmeyer | More info at rodsbooks.com | 02:54 |
| Akshay | Do I install refind on my windows OS? | 02:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Well, considering it's installable from Ubuntu (and I just pointed out the Ubuntu package), I wouldn't. | 02:55 |
| Eickmeyer | It installs to the EFI partition on your machine. | 02:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Same as grub would do. | 02:56 |
| Akshay | I see... How would I install on Ubuntu without Ubuntu tho :/ | 02:56 |
| Akshay | I currently only have windows | 02:57 |
| Eickmeyer | Change your boot manually (temporarily) until refind is installed, then change to refind. | 02:57 |
| Akshay | Okay thank you | 02:57 |
| Eickmeyer | That's what I had to do with my son's Gateway. | 02:57 |

| ev0n44 | Does ubuntu use a separate password for superuser like debian does? | 13:46 |
| lotuspsychje | !sudo | ev0n44 | 13:47 |
| ubottu | ev0n44: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:47 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: Debian doesn't do that either | 13:47 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: please read up on what sudo us | 13:47 |
| leftyfb | is* | 13:47 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: root has a password and your user has a password. When your user attempt to run something using "sudo", the password it is asking for is your users password | 13:48 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: by default, the root account is disabled and unless you know what you're doing, you shouldn't set one or use root at all | 13:49 |
| ev0n44 | leftyfb thanks. That's all I needed to know. Trying to set up a system where the user has no ability to install any software without a root password. I will stick with debian then | 13:51 |
| leftyfb | Both Debian and Ubuntu will react that situation the same way | 13:52 |
| leftyfb | Both of them allow you to add a user without admin privileges | 13:53 |
| lotuspsychje | ev0n44: could play with chmod on the user you want to restrict too | 13:53 |
| ev0n44 | this is true | 13:53 |
| lotuspsychje | !chmod | 13:53 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 13:53 |
| ev0n44 | Ok if what I'm trying to do doesn't work with my debian install, I will try ubuntu next | 13:54 |
| leftyfb | And both of them disable root by default | 13:54 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: both of them will be the same in this regard | 13:54 |
| leftyfb | Just create a user without admin privileges and set a root password | 13:54 |
| ev0n44 | leftyfb, really? root isn't disabled in my debian install. It actually asked me to set a root password | 13:55 |
| leftyfb | Mind you, this is all a terrible idea | 13:55 |
| lotuspsychje | ev0n44: there are some kiosk packages/methods on ubuntu as well, if thats your end goal | 13:55 |
| leftyfb | I’m order to install software, you are requiring them to login as root. Now they have full admin privileges | 13:56 |
| leftyfb | I’m/in | 13:56 |
| leftyfb | I don’t see the purpose of setting and giving out a root password just to limit what users can do. That’s what the sudo group and sudoers is for | 13:57 |
| leftyfb | Setting and giving out a root password is giving complete and unrestricted access to the entire system, the same thing as just adding a user to certain groups including the sudo group | 13:58 |
| ev0n44 | I have no intention of giving out the root password. The root password is just for me to administration. I just don't want my kids to be able to add any software to the computer at all | 14:11 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: then add users for your kids that don't have admin privs | 14:14 |
| leftyfb | it's pretty simple | 14:14 |
| lotuspsychje | +1 | 14:14 |
| ev0n44 | Ok I will try it that way | 14:14 |
| leftyfb | ev0n44: you have yet to give a valid reason to enable the root account | 14:14 |
| ev0n44 | I hear what you're saying. I will try it that way. | 14:15 |
| ev0n44 | Is the only way to get ubuntu with just the terminal to use the server edition? | 14:17 |
| leftyfb | that's the preferred method, yes | 14:17 |
| ev0n44 | Ok just making sure. Debian's not working out for me so i'm going to try ubuntu now | 14:18 |

| peacefulman | it's been awhile since I used ms teams on linux, is the web client decent now? Can you share your desktop with no problems? Last time I used the browser client it was limited. | 15:03 |
| peacefulman | I noticed Microsoft discontinued the binary / deb pkg for teams. | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | peacefulman: teams for the web has nothing to do with ubuntu/linux. It should work just as well as it does on any other OS | 15:04 |
| oerheks | unofficial https://snapcraft.io/teams-for-linux | 15:04 |
| peacefulman | leftyfb: is that a joke? Because previously the browser client was really limited on linux and buggy. | 15:05 |
| peacefulman | oerheks: thanks, much appreciated | 15:05 |
| oerheks | it is unofficial, but recently updated | 15:06 |
| oerheks | also, teams work best from edge. ymmv | 15:06 |
| leftyfb | edge = skinned chromium | 15:06 |
| leftyfb | there should be no difference | 15:07 |
| oerheks | better than in chrome, AFAIK | 15:07 |
| peacefulman | leftyfb: it's obvious you have never actually used the teams browser client. I've tried both chromium and the official chrome version, do a search and you'll find other people have similiar issues. Maybe they finally fixed them now, but it was limited for quite some time | 15:15 |
| oerheks | maybe .. time to test now? | 15:16 |
| leftyfb | peacefulman: I've used it for video calls and it's worked fine. Regardless, we're offtopic here as it's not an ubuntu support issue. If there are bugs with it, then you'll need to report those bugs with Microsoft | 15:17 |
| peacefulman | leftyfb: I asked because I am curious what the support is in ubuntu. Is asking if an app works ok on ubuntu offtopic? | 15:24 |

| leftleg_ | hello all | 16:54 |
| leftleg_ | I setup Ubuntu server 22.04. I want the home folder for users to be created on on raid volume, and not the OS ssd. I've been searching the Google, but I'm not finding anything. Is there some config file I can edit to set this automatically when I create a new user? | 16:54 |
| ikonia | leftleg_: either useradd/usermod -d to set it the mount point of your ssd, or mount your ssd on /home | 16:55 |
| leftyfb | leftleg_: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man8/useradd.8.html#:~:text=%2Dd%2C%20%2D%2Dhome%2Ddir%20HOME_DIR | 16:56 |
| leftleg_ | leftyfb: Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to define BASE_DIR permanently? | 17:02 |
| leftleg_ | ikonia: Thanks. | 17:02 |
| leftyfb | leftleg_: bind mount your RAID home over /home | 17:02 |
| leftleg_ | Ahh. I've read some about bind mount. Bind mount is an alias? | 17:03 |
| leftyfb | no, it's a bind mount :) | 17:03 |
| leftyfb | it's basically mounting an existing mount or even directory over another directory | 17:04 |
| leftleg_ | So basically I'm setting up an ftp user for a phone system for backups. I know there a bunch of ways to go about it, but would install vsftpd, configure vsftpd, add users, change the home directory if needed. Is there a better way to achive this, or is there something you could recoomend to a new Ubunutu user here? | 17:11 |
| oerheks | setup a SSH user ; | 17:12 |
| leftyfb | leftleg_: I recommend using scp/sftp over ftp and using something like ansible to automate building this server and another ansible playbook just for adding new users which will do everything you need. Or just make a script on the server to do it | 17:12 |
| matsaman | leftyfb: would also suggest using an ssh server and sftp/&c | 17:15 |
| matsaman | or even rsync | 17:15 |
| matsaman | ftp is insecure by default, ssh is more frequently already provisioned and easier to setup and secure by default | 17:15 |
| oerheks | rsync and grsync as gui | 17:17 |
| oerheks | tons of solutions | 17:17 |

Is there any concept with Ubuntu distros of a "patch tuesday" of sorts or a day a bunch of patches are released at once for ubuntu machines or is more "rolling" style? | 20:00 |
| rbox | things are patched when they are patched | 20:00 |
