[00:48] <jadeia> Hello. Installing Ubuntu from USBdrive, and after selecting "try or install" option from the boot screen, I get a series of messages "Problem blacklisting hash -13"and then the process seems to stall at this point. I've disabled secure boot but looking for some potential solutions, thanks.
[00:48] <jadeia> Previously I was running Linux Mint.
[00:49] <kawal> Is it a laptop?
[00:50] <jadeia> No desktop
[00:50] <kawal> try another USB port or another USB stick, and if it does not work you may need a boot parameter because of particular hardware thing.
[00:50] <jadeia> Ah simple, I'll try a different USB thanks
[00:50] <kawal> It should work fine if mint does.
[00:53] <oerheks> check the iso ..
[00:53] <oerheks> !md5sum
[00:54] <EriC^> jadeia: seems to be a widespread thing but shouldnt let it not boot, just a warning message, try oerheks
[00:54] <jadeia> Ok, Yeh i read that too. But it does seem to stall the process. Its on that message screen for 10+ mins so far
[00:56] <EriC^> i wonder if 'nomodeset' might help somehow?
[00:57] <Marxism-Leninism> Does anyone know how to install Tableau BI on Ubuntu 23.04?
[00:57] <oerheks> 23.04 is EOL ..
[00:59] <oerheks> and that TAbleau is commercial stuff .. unlikely we know https://www.tableau.com/products/linux
[01:01] <EriC^> jadeia: maybe try to use a different usb port once the iso checks out as suggested, and also try using "loglevel=7 systemd.log_level=debug" in the kernel line in case it shows more info
[01:01] <EriC^> jadeia: which laptop model is it? maybe it's a known issue
[01:04] <jadeia> This is a desktop - a fairly recent MSI system
[01:04] <jadeia> I get the GNU GRUB screen on boot
[01:05] <jadeia> How do I change a loglevel? I am on the GRUB
[01:09] <jadeia> Trying *safe graphics* and that seems to be progressing
[01:10] <jadeia> Ok yep that worked - looks odd but safe graphics option loaded up and on the install screen. Is this an issue installing from this mode?
[01:11] <oerheks> the !nomodeset factoid is commonly known to fix boot/screen issues, sure
[01:12] <oerheks> !nomodeset
[01:12] <jadeia> Ok thank you good to know. I am running Mint so I assumed I would be ok. I'll check that out before proceeding further
[01:13] <leftyfb> !mint | jadeia
[01:13] <oerheks> "Previously I was running Linux Mint." .. and now ..
[01:14] <jadeia> I mean, I am installing ubuntu
[01:14] <leftyfb> ah, sorry
[01:14] <jadeia> B)
[01:14] <WaV> jadeia: What graphics card out of curiousity?
[01:14] <oerheks> jadeia, as it is a new system, check for a bios update?
[01:15] <jadeia> Newish - 18 months. 3060
[01:15] <jadeia> Originally Win10/11, then Mint for about 4 months. No looking to go Ubuntu
[01:16] <WaV> Is that Gefore RTX 3060?
[01:16] <jadeia> Yes sorry
[01:17] <jadeia> Pretty low end card but has served me well and I am not a heavy gamer
[01:18] <jadeia> Mint was great as a landing from Windows experience. It convinced me that Linux is totally suitable for my use case.
[01:20] <WaV> When the installer asks you to look for proprietary drivers say yes.
[01:20] <jadeia> Thank you will do.
[01:20] <WaV> You will want to download the nvidia-driver for your card.
[01:20] <mguy> How do I tell sendmail to use port 587 to send email instead of port 25? That port is closed the message ends up being deferred with a 4.3.2 service not available
[01:22] <leftyfb> mguy: you read the sendmail documentation
[01:22] <oerheks> mguy, edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
[01:22] <jadeia> Appreciate the help folks. IRC has been helping me with computers for 30 years :)  So underrated! Big love from me.
[01:23] <oerheks> tons of guides like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76903390/how-to-setup-or-configure-sendmail-in-ubuntu-22-04-with-custom-smtp-relay
[01:23] <leftyfb> mguy: I would highly recommend using postfix and reading the documentation of your MTA. An email server should not be taking lightly
[01:24] <WaV> jadeia: np. Good luck on the install.
[01:24] <mguy> It's just an internal thing...it's already sending out mail correctly but one program isn't sending it out correctly
[01:25] <mguy> oerheks: I read that earlier but I'm not using a smarthost
[01:25] <oerheks> it's already sending out mail correctly .. on port 25?
[01:25] <mguy> oerheks: no, on 587
[01:25] <leftyfb> that's the default
[01:25] <esv> it should only listen on port 25, but sending to?
[01:26] <oerheks> if the port is correct, the one program is not.
[01:26] <esv> shouldn't it use port-mapper?
[01:26] <mguy> It listens on localhost and applications are sending email to users internally, it finds the mx for our domain and hits one of our 4 internal mail servers
[01:27] <leftyfb> mguy: sounds like ssmtp would work fine then
[01:27] <leftyfb> or postfix as a satellite server
[01:27] <mguy> and if I use the mail command it does the same thing, tries to hit 25 and fails
[01:27] <leftyfb> mguy: so read the documentation and set the port to submission instead
[01:27] <esv> on the remote host...
[01:28] <mguy> esv on itself
[01:28] <mguy> n/m yes the remote host
[01:28] <mguy> security finally turned off port 25
[01:32] <Random6> Anyone know if Linux Mint can be installed in termux?
[01:33] <leftyfb> !mint | Random6
[01:34] <leftyfb> Random6: you really should be asking for support with Termux in #termux. I don't think any distro's are going to support being installed in that environment.
[01:35] <Work-BWMerlin> Is there an equivelant to Windows Sandbox in the Ubuntu/Linux world?
[01:35] <esv> LOL
[01:35] <leftyfb> Work-BWMerlin: that depends, what is Windows Sandbox?
[01:35] <esv> Work-BWMerlin, would you rather rephrase your question?
[01:35] <leftyfb> Work-BWMerlin: what are you looking to do exactly?
[01:35] <Work-BWMerlin> Windows Sandbox is an instant VM that resets itself back when closed down
[01:36] <esv> aahhh
[01:36] <leftyfb> Work-BWMerlin: ubuntu core
[01:36] <Work-BWMerlin> It is great for testing things like suspicious files or if you want to test a script in a turley clean environment each and everytime
[01:36] <leftyfb> you're looking for an immutable OS
[01:36] <leftyfb> Work-BWMerlin: I would just suggest running a container in LXD and use snapshops
[01:36] <leftyfb> snapshots*
[01:37] <Work-BWMerlin> Will look into it
[01:43] <kremator> good night folks, i have updated my ubuntu 22.04 to the latest and now in a plugin that i have for selecting the power scheduler and now only have "performance" and "powersave"

[02:55] <sysadm1nH> Good morning or good evening. You are welcome on https://twitter.com/PLocataire : #exploits #coding #OSINT #Tools #Papers ;>
[05:28] <jamiahx2> hello
[05:28] <jamiahx2> I'm trying to mount an ecryptfs directory cloned from a failing hdd
[05:28] <jamiahx2> https://pastebin.com/CYxE9ark
[06:05] <berocoder> I use Ubuntu 23.10 and have a problem with kvm aspect ratio. Black borders left and right.
[06:06] <berocoder> My second big monitor is much wider than my laptop screen. Could that be the reason ?
[06:15] <kawal> yes change the resolution in the serttings of course.
[06:15] <kawal> it may not adjust properly to the aspect ratio/resolution
[06:16] <kawal> and you may also have a menu on your screen
[06:16] <kawal> to adapt the screen ratio / the other way aroiund
[06:26] <berocoder> Physically my laptop screen has different aspect ratio than my big monitor. That is wider 34".
[06:26] <berocoder> So of course I want to take advantage of that.
[06:26] <berocoder> I use mirror in display settings so same screen on both.
[06:26] <berocoder> I suspect that my small laptop screen dictate settings on my big screen.
[06:26] <berocoder> The KVM guest is Windows 10.
[06:28] <kawal> yeah, try to extend the display maybe instead, cause in mirror mode maybe it cannot scale the resolution properly for your external screen
[06:30] <berocoder> I tried that but doesn't matter. I think it would be most logical in mirror mode that the largest screen take over. And the smaller screen have black borders in case aspect ration is different
[06:31] <berocoder> Or ideally a setting. There is primary display. But set my large screen as primary display doesn't matter
[08:18] <Rexodus> Good morning mortals! I wanna surface check /dev/md0. 4 devices. They are also there as /dev/sd*. But I can't find anything to start with. I have little experience with raid except for the last 2 days. The thing is umounted. The data on it is important. What is the best approch?
[08:22] <mcxninja> Hello
[08:24] <praktikant> hello
[08:26] <ravage> Rexodus: surface checks are really 90s. on modern devices you have smartctl to check if the device is healthy. it also shows you relocated sectors and so on (on spinning rust)
[08:34] <mcxninja> This is the first time I'm using IRC. Is there any way I can see the old messages?
[08:36] <Disconsented> mcxninja: No
[08:37] <mcxninja> Disconsented: Okay
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> !logs | mcxninja
[08:39] <mcxninja> ubottu: interesting. How often it's getting backed up?
[08:40] <lotuspsychje> mcxninja: visit the page, you will be able to see the dates
[08:40] <lotuspsychje> i think there's a renewal of latest pretty quick
[08:41] <mcxninja> Okay
[08:51] <Rexodus> ravage: I didn't realize. TnX!
[10:36] <esv> hey folks, have a very weird situation here, I have this silly bash script to automate some tasks and I use getops to review the command line options, here is the relevant part: https://dpaste.com/E9EPUB6XT
[10:38] <esv> and here are different logs: https://dpaste.com/8FGT4MZZZ
[10:40] <esv> it seems when I use -ts somehow getopts gets confused on when to end the option review , everything seems fine if I use -- after the options section
[10:41] <esv> I have retyped the command a couple of times to discard possible special characters hidden in the command line with the same result.
[10:41] <esv> just looks odd.
[11:28] <ph88> i put a script in /etc/cron.daily/ i didn't see it running yet. How can i check if it ran? Do i need to do anything special to make it run?
[11:46] <CosmicDJ> ph88: check /etc/crontab; keep in mind that the cron.daily scripts will not run unless you have anacron installed (see "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )")
[11:48] <CosmicDJ> ph88: systemd supports timers, maybe you want to use them instead
[12:23] <ph88> CosmicDJ, useful advice thanks i will take a look
[12:25] <ph88> CosmicDJ, the command   test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )   does not return anything
[12:25] <ph88>  /usr/sbin/anacron is present on the system
[12:30] <bleusman> hello
[12:30] <bleusman> can´t i juse format the mediatek device
[12:30] <bleusman> and install android 11 on it ?
[12:31] <bleusman> i mean ubuntu-touch**
[12:33] <kawal> probably not, what device is it exactly?
[12:34] <kawal> if it's an android device it has boot locking, and you may only install LineageOS if it is in the list of supported devices (and it's probably not the case)
[12:34] <bleusman> hammer 2
[12:34] <bleusman> ah yes need to unlock the bootloader ??
[12:34] <bleusman> ok..
[12:35] <bleusman> i asked sony-ericson to made ubuntu available
[12:35] <bleusman> been looking at this one: https://volla.online/en/volla-phone-x23/
[12:44] <bleusman> last time somehow i managed to get into some kind of diagnose screen from the mediatek
[12:44] <bleusman> but it wall all in chinese -_-

[14:39] <Guest87> trying to get x11vnc working, and keep getting XOpenDisplay(":0") failed where can I start looking for the issue?
[14:39] <leftyfb> Guest87: what release of ubuntu?
[14:39] <oerheks> and what session, wayland or Xorg?
[14:39] <Guest87> 22.04.03 LTS
[14:39] <Guest87> Xorg should be
[14:40] <leftyfb> Guest87: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
[14:40] <Guest87> tty right now as I am ssh'd in
[14:40] <leftyfb> there's your problem
[14:40] <leftyfb> export DISPLAY=:0 ; echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
[14:41] <Guest87> still tty
[14:42] <leftyfb> Guest87: is there a desktop running?
[14:42] <Guest87> service gdm3 is up and running
[14:43] <Guest87> is that enough?
[14:43] <leftyfb> Guest87: what type of machine is this?
[14:43] <Guest87> Ubuntu server
[14:43] <leftyfb> running on......
[14:43] <leftyfb> why do you need x11vnc on a server?
[14:43] <Guest87> x86_64
[14:44] <leftyfb> :/
[14:44] <Guest87> want to connect directly to the desktop
[14:44] <leftyfb> ubuntu server doesn't have a desktop by default
[14:45] <Guest87> this was working, but something is borked, ubuntu-desktop is installed, and like I said this was directly connecting fine
[14:47] <Guest87> is the $XDG_SESSION_TYPE supposed to point to xorg?
[14:49] <oerheks> yes, as you claim you run xorg
[14:54] <Guest87> So does xorg need to be running in order for this to work?
[14:54] <Guest87> sorry I dont understand the GUI very well
[14:54] <raffo> Guest87: where you exporting a running :0 desktop session before or the login manager screen?
[14:55] <CosmicDJ> Guest87: what do you try to do exactly? run X11 programs on your server? viah ssh X11 forwarding or VNC?
[14:55] <CosmicDJ> -h
[14:57] <Guest87> I just want to connect to the Ubuntu desktop
[14:58] <Guest87> this is what I was told to run and it worked up until a few days ago
[14:58] <Guest87> sudo -u gdm x11vnc -auth /run/user/128/gdm/Xauthority -display :0 -xkb -forever -rfbport 20000
[14:58] <Guest87> then I would VNC in to port 20000 and got connected to my desktop
[14:59] <Guest87> which now results in "XOpenDisplay(":0") failed."
[15:00] <raffo> is the server's local firewall set up to allow connections to that port?
[15:01] <CosmicDJ> Guest87: you want to connect to your Ubuntu Desktop from your server?
[15:03] <Guest87> From a Windows 10 machine, using VNCviewer
[15:21] <spookyusers> anyone have a good resource for running ubuntu (or linux in general) on mac? I wrecked my mac os and just decided to run ubuntu instead. It's going ok but few hiccups like when i close the macbook it just freezes and sound doesn't work.

[15:47] <varaindemian> I keep getting this:
[15:48] <varaindemian> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/LEncJ5vA/
[15:49] <lotuspsychje> try the snap varaindemian ?
[15:49] <varaindemian> I woul like to use this
[15:50] <leftyfb> varaindemian: curl -sSL "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x963FA27710458545" | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/grafana --yes
[15:50] <leftyfb> though it looks like step2 of their instructions should have worked for you

[15:50] <varaindemian> leftyfb: issued your command and I get the same error at `apt update`
[15:51] <leftyfb> ok, just use the snap then
[15:51] <varaindemian> :(

[15:58] <ApostleInTriumph> Hi All. I'm a root of a server and somehow it got restarted abruptly. I want to understand who/what triggered the restart. How do I find it out?
[16:03] <oerheks> Check last reboot and /var/log/syslog ?
[16:08] <ApostleInTriumph> Inside that, how do I check who restarted or was it an automatic one?
[16:32] <tuxick> normally only root can do that
[16:32] <ApostleInTriumph> yes, I'm a root
[16:33] <raffo> check the log and see if another user became root or logged in as root right before the reboot.
[16:34] <ApostleInTriumph> how do I check which user became root?
[16:37] <raffo> journalctl -n100
[16:37] <raffo> no, you need to dump the log around the time the reboot occurred.
[16:38] <raffo> man journactl
[16:38] <raffo> e.g. journalctl -n5000 | grep "Feb 19", or something like that.
[16:39] <raffo> there are other ways to dump particular intervals.
[16:40] <raffo> This is assuming your system logs are persistent. In some configurations the system logs are discarded after a reboot.
[16:43] <raffo> Check /var/log/messages too, if you have it.
[17:48] <Guest8919> where is the openvpn client config file created by Gnome/Network Manager stored?

[21:31] <mrcoffee> Hello
[21:32] <mrcoffee> My computer is not shutting down with ubuntu
[21:32] <mrcoffee> I have tried editing grub
[21:32] <mrcoffee> BUt still not shutting down.
[21:32] <mrcoffee> It will shut down once if i do a dpkg on boot..
[21:32] <mrcoffee> But the second time wont shut down anymore..
[21:33] <mrcoffee> On shut down it says something about filesystem being remounted read only -ro and then it says powering off but never fully does.
[21:41] <preach> wat
[21:41] <preach> none of that made any sense..
[21:42] <oerheks> run a fsck on that partition(s)
[21:43] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/disk-repair.html.en //https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting
[22:06] <plastikman> i guess i was too late for mrcoffee but what a strange thing to ask.  that is not a grub issue but an acpi issue
[22:11] <mrcoffee> Hi there
[22:11] <mrcoffee> Still having shutdown issues, any ideas?
[22:13] <leftyfb> mrcoffee: if your filesystem is being mounted read-only it's typically due to a corrupt filesystem and/or bad storage device
[22:15] <mrcoffee> Ok.. Thats what i see on shutdown: https://0x0.st/H5-f.jpg
[22:15] <mrcoffee> leftyfb but shouldnt that be fixed with fsck ?
[22:15] <mrcoffee> Meaning i have run dpkg and fsck and the issue persists.
[22:16] <leftyfb> ok, first off, I don't know why you keep mentioning dpkg. It has nothing to do with shutting down, fsck or any of the symptoms you are experiencing
[22:17] <mrcoffee> Well, for instance running dpkg fixes the issue but just for one loop.
[22:17] <mrcoffee> Dont know why or how, but it does.
[22:17] <leftyfb> negative
[22:17] <leftyfb> mrcoffee: what is the exact command you are running?
[22:18] <mrcoffee> On boot, i do the boot ubuntu on safe mode or something like that and then you get the options dpkg, fsck and so on.. resume normal boot
[22:19] <leftyfb> please get specifics and share them here
[22:19] <mrcoffee> Ubuntu recovery mode dpkg option, that fixes the issue for one loop..
[22:19] <mrcoffee> THen the issue shows up again..
[22:19] <leftyfb> please take a screenshot
[22:19] <mrcoffee> And i posted an image with what i get on shutdown
[22:19] <mrcoffee> THats all there is.
[22:20] <leftyfb> please take a screenshot of this "dpkg" message you are seeing
[22:22] <mrcoffee> https://i.stack.imgur.com/fdmNg.png
[22:23] <leftyfb> ok, that menu item isn't allowing you to boot
[22:23] <leftyfb> why are you going into recovery mode to begin with?
[22:27] <mrcoffee> Let me start again leftyfb
[22:27] <mrcoffee> I have a lenovo legion 5 with dual boot, when i power off the maching it never does totally, it says powering off and hangs in there forever.
[22:27] <mrcoffee> https://0x0.st/H5-f.jpg
[22:28] <mrcoffee> Some suggestions have been to edit the grub file:
[22:31] <plastikman> you have ACPI issues
[22:31] <plastikman> I would recomend that you fix your ACPI tables then inject them into the kernel and try again
[23:01] <oerheks> check for a bios update for that lenovo 5
[23:21] <Cryptick_> Hello there
