[00:03] hello all - my desktop OS crashed last night and now it won't boot to a graphical environment. machine still boots and i can ssh in, and i can also boot into a liveUSB environment. what are my best options to 'repair' the install, can i save the install disk or do i need to back it up and format? [00:06] i'm not sure of the exact version, but it's one of the LTS variety - can i use the startup disk creator or some variant to install just OS related files and leave the rest of the disk unharmed? [00:08] Guest97: In such a situation - my 1st is to run a file system check/repair (fsck) from the live environment. What is the file system ? [00:09] i believe ext3, what are some of the live tools i can use to verify? [00:10] do i need the disk uuid to run the check? i guess the boot drive is not online when you power from USB? [00:11] actually i just found some /dev/sd* files, i can probably check it out this way - i'm unfamiliar with the use of fsck, any flags to consider? [00:14] Guest97: From the liveUSB - identify the fsck target - sudo fdisk -lu - /// say the 1st identified target is the 1st hard drive "sda" and 2nd partition --- then the check/repair command will be ' sudo fsck /dev/sda2 '. [00:16] when i try fsck, i get that /dev/sda is in use - e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting. do i need to target down to the partition, or can i unmount given that the live OS is running independently? [00:17] Guest97: The target must be unmounted - hense to run the test from the liveUSB. [00:19] umount: /dev/sda: not mounted. :( lol - however, i did get a clean check from /dev/sda1 (which contains the boot flag) [00:20] with that said, the machine boots with some kernel spam, and control+alt+f2 give me a working terminal with access to the filesystem - the login graphic just crashes to a flashing _ prompt [00:26] Guest97: Graphic's driver issue then ? Any hints from the gpu manager log file ' less /var/log/gpu-manager.log '. === luc14n0_ is now known as luc14n0 [00:27] Guest97: % in addition I would expect that "root' to be sda2 given the info so far seen. [00:29] will this function from the liveOS, or do i need to view the log local to the failed login? which 'root' are you referring to? fsck suspects that sda2 is a zero-length partition, and sda5 is the next shown which strangely only returns the version of fsck [00:31] Guest97: to look at the log file I would do so from the install; as you can boot to a terminal. [00:32] Guest97: "root" >> with out that you pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' we can not say more. [00:32] i tried to view the log from usb and i see hundreds of sequential "can't access /run/u-d-c-nvidia-drm-was-loaded file" as well as "I couldn't open /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/last_gfx_boot for reading." [00:33] you want my fdisk dump? [00:34] Guest97: Would ensure we are on the same page if we see what we are working with, yes. [00:38] https://pastebin.com/raw/p5MpYhm4 [00:39] Guest97: looking ^ . [00:44] Guest97: so far looks asaif sda1 is our target - does ' sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub ' confirm ? [00:45] as if * [00:46] grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow', looks like maybe an issue with live? [00:46] i do know from context that sda1 is the correct boot device [00:46] Guest97: Yeah - we are now working from the install :D [00:47] oh! i will have to change irc accounts, as i'm on the machine! [00:48] you'll never guess who i am. (testing) [00:49] Guest28: 97 perhaps ? [00:50] grub-probe confirms the target [00:52] Guest28: Away for a few - back soonest. [00:58] that's a good chance to restate my issue more clearly, really appreciate the help - i'm not sure that grub or graphics are involved, as i do briefly see a desktop and the ubuntu logo. i'm just never presented with any users, login, or any way forward, and this quickly devolves to the blackout with a flashing _ (which is not a prompt, i cannot [00:58] interact without going to the f2 terminal). at this time, i can still ssh to the machine, but only the gnome/X(?) parts are failing to give me your 'traditional desktop environment' [01:06] Guest28: Well, by now we know the file system is intact - just an issue with the GUI layer. Likely still is the graphic's driver. Did the driver load - ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? [01:09] i cannot tell, but i think not - i show UNCLAIMED and i don't see anything that i recognize as a driver [01:10] Guest28: is that output from a SSH login ? [01:10] from the control-alt-f2 interface, it might be a separate session - how do i boot into terminal instead? [01:13] do i use the 'c' command at the GRUB screen and use the grub> prompt? === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [01:15] Guest28: control-alt-f2 interface is good for what we do now - one can boot to a terminal, however, from grub if needed. Pastebin that ' sudo lshw -C display ' and we consider to re-install a driver (nvidfia ?). [01:16] does "/etc/network/interfaces" not fully work on 22.04? Upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 and my IP config gets set right but the `dns-*` options don't seem to apply. [01:17] kantlivelong: desktop or server? [01:17] leftyfb: server [01:17] kantlivelong: you should be using /etc/netplan now, not ifupdown(/etc/network/interfaces) [01:17] !netplan | kantlivelong [01:17] kantlivelong: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/ [01:17] Yeah... [01:18] Guest28: FYI: Boot to terminal from grub: At the grub menu press 'e' to edit - Append: systemd.unit=multi-user.target to the linux line. [01:20] tricky to get the output! :D https://pastebin.com/raw/gNJAcsfm [01:21] do i remove that flag to disable the cli boot, or is it a one-time? [01:23] Guest28: "unclamed" at this point I am happy to purge and re-install the nvidia driver. can not hurt to try :D want to give that a try ? [01:24] i have no optimistic alternatives, sure thing! [01:26] Guest28: from that terminal run ' sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Reboot to see the effect. [01:28] oh, this is intriguing. the purge failed, and after 'sugo dpkg --configure -a' as suggested, i see some nvidia items already working on their own [01:29] going to try a reboot at this point before continuing the purge, things looked positive [01:29] Guest28: Well - could then be that the system healed its self - :D reboot and see :D [01:30] yes indeed, i'm right where i want to be - a full heal. thank you kindly!!! [01:31] Guest28: You did all the work :D [01:31] i'm just the moth following the light! [01:32] Guest28: /var/log/gpu-manager.log say all is hunky dory ? [01:33] it's far shorter than before, didn't need to use less this time. i don't have much experience interpreting, but i have active programs and all seems well [01:34] Guest28: If unhappy you would notice in the log file :D [01:36] that's such a strange resolution - the machine crashed during active operation and ended up in this failure state. i probably should have recorded the dpkg log, but what do you suppose could have corrupted or unloaded the driver this way? [01:38] Guest28: OH My - will take one more versed in drivers than I to even begin to ponder an answer :P [01:38] :) no problemo - thank you again [01:39] Guest28: Pleased to hold your hand --- it's ubuntu >> Always fixable ! [01:40] yes, now i have a few new commands to look into [01:41] Guest28: Practice to become a command-line commando :D === five61843 is now known as five6184 [02:30] random question, but can I setup unattended upgrades email notifications without installing an smtp client, like, could I use a curl request instead? [02:31] email notifications are done with sendmail [02:31] you could replace the sendmail binary with whatever you want to do whatever curl or whatever [02:31] but that sounds like an awful idea [02:31] yea I dont wanna do that, alright fair enough === five61847 is now known as five6184 === five61849 is now known as five6184 === five61840 is now known as five6184 [05:30] hi [06:02] Hello, I'm trying to setup chroot on ubuntu 22.04 LTS desktop, but error: https://dpaste.org/rxrqM [06:03] Here's the schroot.conf file I made, which may be wrong https://dpaste.org/Ac85W as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot [06:08] kotgc, you follow old instructions [06:08] Do you require i386?! Just leave out the arch and the mirror parts [06:10] alkisg, that's the best ubuntu guide I could find? [06:10] kotgc: do you require i386? [06:10] alkisg, what's i386? [06:10] 32bit architecture [06:10] While the normal one is 64bit [06:10] alkisg, I'm on 64-bit [06:11] Right, but you're trying to create an i386 chroot [06:11] alkisg, my mistake, I don't understand the guide 100% [06:11] Just run this: sudo debootstrap jammy jammy [06:12] It will create a jammy chroot in a jammy folder [06:12] What's your end goal, why do you want the chroot? [06:15] alkisg, I need virt-manager on a USB for an offline install. [06:20] kotgc: not sure why a chroot would help on that [06:21] If you need the packages, put the packages in the USB stick [06:21] If you need a full installation or a VM image, put these to the USB stick [06:21] How would a chroot help you? [06:22] alkisg, apparently a chroot will download a clean virt-manager without requiring any dependencies when installing on an offline Ubuntu? [06:22] kotgc: the dependencies will be wrong [06:22] alkisg, I have downloaded virt-manager-4.1.0. [06:22] E.g. the offline Ubuntu will have some dependencies in its database [06:23] Then when you try to install the most recent dependencies, the installation will fail [06:23] The solution is to go to the offline ubuntu, run sudo apt install --print-uris virt-manager [06:23] alkisg, ok, thx the jammy debootstrap thingy downloaed. [06:23] It will print a bunch of packages. IF you can find these, as some may already be removed from the repositories, then just copy them to a usb stick [06:23] The chroot won't help you at all [06:24] alkisg, ok. I don't have the offline Ubuntu yet. This computer when I reinstall it from ubuntu.iso will then have no Internet, due to a bridged modem. [06:25] Then you can run that command inside the live session, and get the package list [06:25] I.e. boot ubuntu.iso locally, run the command, get the packages in .deb form and put them in a usb stick [06:27] Or just do the installation IN the usb stick; then clone the stick to the target PC [06:28] alkisg, boot ubuntu.iso loaclly -> run sudo debootstrap jammy jammy -> get virt-manager packages -> convert somehow to .deb form -> copy to USB? [06:28] No [06:28] Forget about chroots and debootstrap [06:28] They don't help you at all [06:28] alkisg, ok [06:28] Best option: install ubuntu.iso to a usb stick. Then clone the usb stick to the target pc [06:29] Second best option: boot ubuntu.iso. Run sudo apt-get install virt-manager. Then copy /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to the usb stick. [06:29] alkisg, this online Ubuntu 22.04 desktop is the target, after a fresh install the ubuntu.iso will be offline, until I install virt-manager. [06:30] If you install ubuntu to a usb stick, then install virt-manager to the stick, then clone the stick to the target pc, you'll then have virt-manager there even if it's offline [06:30] It's the simplest option. Install everything where you have internet; clone to the target. [06:31] Imagine that your stick is actually a hard disk. You can install ubuntu and virt-manager there [06:31] Then you can copy that "hard disk" to the target hard disk, and have everything there, even virt-manager [06:31] alkisg, ok, this desktop has Internet. Clone ubuntu.iso and virt-manager directory to USB. [06:31] Try to read the "best option" that I mentioned [06:32] Install ubuntu TO the stick. Like if it's an external hard disk. [06:33] alkisg, I know how to copy ubuntu.iso to a bootable usb stick. Is cloning how to install to a usb? [06:33] No [06:33] Do you have 2 usb sticks? [06:34] You boot from stick1. In the installer, you select stick2 as the installation target. [06:34] alkisg, yes, one for ubuntu.iso and 1 for the virtualRouter.iso [06:34] Then you boot from stick2 like if it's a local installation. You install virt-manager there. [06:34] ...and a 3rd usb for virt-manager directory. [06:34] Then stick2 is ready, it contains virt-manager and you can run it offline everywhere [06:34] When you go to the target pc, you clone stick2 to the target disk. Either with gparted or with the dd command [06:35] That's all, you don't need anything fancy. Just to install ubuntu TO the stick. [06:36] alkisg, is installing ubuntu to a usb different to creating a bootable ubuntu.iso on the usb? https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview [06:36] Yes [06:36] A bootable ubuntu.iso is a live session. Changes don't stick [06:36] May I ask how? A search brought up https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview [06:37] Installing ubuntu TO a stick is like installing ubuntu to a hard disk. It's a normal installation. If you install virt-manager there, it will be available after reboot [06:37] Read my steps. Tell me which step you don't understand. [06:37] 1) Write ubuntu.iso to stick1 [06:37] 2) Boot from stick1. In the installer, select stick2 as the installation target [06:37] 3) Boot from stick2. Install virt-manager. Done. [06:38] alkisg, ok. I'm concerned about the virt-manager-4.1.0.tar.gz which I unzipped to a directory virt-manager-4.1.0, that it won't be bootable? [06:39] In ubuntu you don't need virt-manager-4.1.0.tar.gz. You just apt install virt-manager [06:39] You don't install packages from source [06:40] It's an easy task, you somehow got it very complicated while it's not === dennis_ is now known as dennis81 [06:41] alkisg, so 1) write ubuntu.iso to stick, don't create a bootable usb? [06:41] Yes that's a bootable usb [06:41] ok [06:42] Hi all, I've run into an issue while testing ubuntu 23.10 with an issue that removing an old kernel won't succeed. I have looked to find bug reports, but on this kernel there can't be much found. I have tried the usual stuff. Can I ask for help here? [06:42] alkisg, 3) how do I install virt-manager? There will be no Internet? [06:42] kotgc: in step (3) you're still in YOUR place where you HAVE internet. So you just `apt install virt-manager` [06:43] or should I ask in #ubuntu-next? [06:43] Then in step (4) you go to the target, and clone the stick2 to the target hard disk. [06:43] Hi hermano! [06:46] alkisg, (4) the target is ubuntu running on stick2? I haven't cloned before, is this a good guide https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-copy-clone-usb-stick-including-partitions/ [06:46] dennis81, officially #ubuntu-next as per channel's topic, but probably people would have helped you here anyway if you hadn't asked? (; [06:48] kotgc: no. The target PC has a hard disk, let's name it HD. You boot from stick1. Then you use gparted to graphically clone stick2 to HD. You don't need any commands. [06:48] test [06:48] kotgc: if you really want to use a command, it is: sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress. But replace sdc with the stick2 device, and sda with the HD device. [06:50] alkisg, ok, I've used that command before. [06:52] alkisg, thx, I'll try it. [06:52] You're welcome [06:54] year of the linux d......................

[10:25] Slartibart: you're welcome [10:25] Does anyone know how to set DNS servers on an Ubuntu Openvpn client? From what I see when connecting the server doesn't seem to push DNS servers, might be looking in the wrong place though. I do have the IP addresses of the DNS servers though, is there a way to add them manually, in the client config or something? [10:27] is the openvpn client an ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server installation? which version? [10:29] It's Ubuntu desktop 22.04(virtualbox on windows 11), command line there. Openvpn 2.5.5. Recently ran apt update. [10:30] so you prefer to configure it from a shell than using the GUI? [10:31] s/than/over/ [10:32] Actually I tried setting it up in the GUI, there's a field there for DNS server addresses and all. But currently I'm missing something in the GUI setup, it doesn't work while openvpn+client.conf does. [10:32] because the easiest way to configure an openvpn client on a graphical desktop is to import the configuration into a network manager profile [10:33] i see [10:34] classically, the configuration file usually refers to a "script" which is run after the connection is established, to set up static routes and dns. [10:34] It's possible to import an openvpn config into network manager? [10:35] Yes, update-resolv-conf [10:35] yes, it's possible to import an openvpn configuration file into the openvpn plugin for network manager [10:36] I'll try it right away. [10:36] openvpn knows of a so-called script-security which is a measure to reduce what said script may do. this can get in the way of running scripts. [10:39] in systemd land, however, if you want to configure it as you would on an ubuntu server, you'd probably manage openvpn 'client' connections as systemd services instead. [10:41] note that i have not tested whether this mechanism actually exists on ubuntu, too: https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN#VPN_connection_started_as_a_Systemd_service [10:43] network-manager-openvpn-gnome is the package you need to have installed to manage openvpn configurations graphically on gnome. [11:03] Hi folks! I'm configuring a VPS on Ubuntu 22.04 and among requirements there is Xorg presence. What desktop/window manager you would recommend to use? Xfce/Mate/Lxde/Gnome/Cinnamon or KDE? :) Something different? [11:03] s/what/which/ [11:06] Ubuntu comes with Gnome (gnome-shell, mutter). others are available and (community) supported as part of ubuntu !flavors. [11:07] on a server type computer, you usually do not have a graphical user interface, and usually no X server [11:14] Yeees. Finally. Thanks, tomreyn! I still had to add the dns server ip manually, but that's a one-time job so it's nothing. Thanks! [11:14] Slartibart: glad you worked it out.

[13:17] (it surely does on all my machines) [13:17] ogra: lxd doesn't startup automatically on boot [13:17] it does here [13:17] $ systemctl is-enabled snap.lxd.daemon [13:17] enabled [13:18] $ snap info lxd|grep -A3 ^services|grep lxd.daemon [13:18] lxd.daemon: simple, enabled, active [13:19] (and i never tinkerd with it) [13:19] lxd.daemon: simple, enabled, inactive [13:19] do you have any containers yet ? [13:19] what's the difference between snap.lxd.daemon and lxd.daemon? [13:19] ogra: yes, one [13:20] hey are the same process but one is lower levl stuff you should not touch (systemd level) [13:20] *they [13:20] i don't want to use socket activation, but just start up lxd and the container automatically on boot [13:20] sudo snap start --enable lxd.daemon [13:20] oh it's done like that. thanks [13:20] then check again [13:21] # snap start --enable lxd.daemon [13:21] Started. [13:21] i was starting it with systemd [13:21] the socket activation is orthogonal ... it is used to trigger lxd.daemon to start if you have no container yet but use the lxc command [13:26] ogra: hm, so I'm learning something new here, but not having the same results as you [13:26] ogra: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/VDP8tV8wMD/ [13:27] ogra: lxd is still not starting automatically [13:27] interesting ... [13:28] ogra: mind you, this is wsl 2 vm where i have this setup [13:28] oh, there might indeed be differences in wsl2 ... [13:28] I've run into this issue kinda often Sometimes on boot the containers don't start up automatically [13:28] I'm not on wsl [13:28] ogra: it is ubuntu 22.04 [13:28] there is a soecific irc channel for wsl stuff IIRC [13:28] *specific [13:28] ogra: yes i'm in there [13:29] leftyfb, worth a bug i guess ... they are definitely supposed to (and work here on 5 machines OOTB as expected) [13:29] ogra: i ran this and it seemed to work(?) but lxd is not running after the vm reboot: snap start --enable lxd.daemon [13:30] ogra: I'm not so sure it's a bug. I get this across all of the 22.04 servers I manage [13:30] lxd.daemon enabled inactive socket-activated [13:30] akik, does it show as enabled in "snap info lxd" before you run this command ? [13:30] hmm [13:30] simple, enabled, active [13:30] I get that for lxd.daemon [13:31] ogra: lxd starts up fine when i run lxc list [13:31] i dont run server anywhere, desktop and UbuntuCore all over the place ... i wonder if thats specific to server installs [13:31] ogra: so does the lxc container [13:32] try asking in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/lxd/support/149 [13:33] they should definitely know whats going on there 🙂 [13:33] ok thanks [13:35] ogra: "However, this site is NOT for technical support" [13:36] akik, it is 🙂 [13:36] ogra: okay :) [13:36] ah, there is also (on the old support forum) https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-snap-switching-to-socket-activation/2793 [13:37] The LXD daemon will now startup when: [13:37] You first talk to it [13:37] You have auto-started containers [13:37] ... [13:37] so i guess i somehow have "auto-started containers" everywhere ... not sure how i got them though 🙂 [13:37] there's a command for that [13:38] but i used it [13:38] lxc config set ubuntu-jammy boot.autostart true [13:38] i don't know how to create a new thread in that forum [13:39] hello [13:39] archive.ubuntu does not have virtualbox ? [13:39] is there a archive source list for kinetic 22.10 ? [13:39] pi_: it's part of the multiverse repo [13:39] pi_: Ubuntu 22.10 is End of Life and unsupported [13:40] i look for virtalbox-qt 6.1 38 dfsg 3 amd64 deb [13:40] akik, you need to browse a few posts, the discourse has an "anti spam bot" setup that rquires that [13:40] is there any archive somewhere on the web? [13:40] pi_: that version was available in Ubuntu 20.04 [13:40] pi_, you need to upgrade to 23.04 we can not support EOL releases here [13:41] virtualbox/virtualbox-qt_6.1.38-dfsg-3_amd64.deb is on some website maybe? [13:41] perhaps ... [13:41] pi_: you need to upgrade. Also, installing straight .deb packages downloaded from the archive on releases it wasn't meant for is also not supported [13:42] yeah, hat will likely break ... why would you install such an old version anyway [13:42] does 22.10 have a archive sourceslist on the official ubuntu EOL? (alike archive for debian) [13:42] i think i'll make one blog post and wait for the anti spam bot to learn my presence [13:42] akik, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/limiting-brand-new-user-accounts/10687 [13:43] pi_: You need to upgrade. Good luck [13:43] (its a bit tricky, since discourse.ubuntu.com is not actually a support site ... but the lxd category is using it for support since they moved there ) [13:46] leftyfb: how to upgrade ? [13:46] !eolupgrade | pi_ [13:46] pi_: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [13:47] is there a sources list for current lunar ? [13:48] yeah, you get it with the upgrade [13:48] pi_: are you trying to just switch sources to make the upgrade? [13:48] 22.10 to a new one with virtualbox ... [13:49] pi_: please follow the instructions you were given to upgrade [13:51] lunar is the current supported ubuntu ? [13:51] yes, until January [13:51] is it right? ===> debootstrap lunar . http://ftp.us.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/ [13:51] pi_: personally, I would recommend fresh installing 22.04 which is supported till 2027 [13:52] pi_: please follow the instructions you were given to upgrade [13:57] I did: apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrade ; sync ; reboot [13:59] ok, now I have ubuntu 23.04... what is the sources.list to get virtualbox to be installed ??? [14:00] can you give me a lunar 23.04 working sources.list for getting virtualbox after? [14:01] pi_: lets look at your system to find out, please run this including the parens and post the resulting URL here: ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ; grep -R multiverse /etc/apt/sources.list* ) | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:02] ogra: i have no idea what i have to do to create a new thread there [14:02] pi_, the upgrader too (do-release-upgrade) updates your sources.list automatically (and a lot of other things that are required for a clean update) ... nothing you need to do [14:03] you should be able to just apt install virtualbox [14:03] akik, there is a plus sign ... [14:03] ogra: they might need to enable multiverse [14:03] wget https://termbin.com/adqf [14:04] hmm, it should be on by default, like universe ... only deb-src lines are off by default normally [14:05] ogra: i don't see any + sign [14:05] do-release-upgrade seems to not modify it somehow [14:05]
