meustationon the desktop computer next to the laptop I'm writing from, I have a Live LTS.iso running through Ventoy from a usb drive. it is currently displaying the wrong time in the clock; what command would I have to launch from a cli to correct the mistake? would it require sudo?01:25
leftyfbmeustation: settings the clock requires sudo01:30
meustationleftyfb, ok. can you point me to either the manpage of the required command, or give me the syntax I should use?01:36
leftyfbmeustation: timedatectl01:36
buckymeustation: if you went in settings and set the time zone it would probably be ok01:36
buckymeustation: no DE? is this server?01:37
meustationbucky, from the desktop environment, right clicking got me to the format settings, but there's no way to change the hour. I suspect this is because the DE obviously does not have super user privileges01:39
meustationalso, the more I use bash, the better I'll get at it01:39
buckymeustation: sudo timedatectl set-time 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'01:40
meustationsaid desktop is destined to run the third server of my career, as soon as I'm done studying the docs and feel confident enough to go ahead and install it without supervision01:47
meustationthank you all; it didn't work, but because it says it's getting the time from the net. I just had to adjust the timezone, which was indeed possible from the DE without sudo01:48
* meustation wishes a happy near and distant future to ev'body01:48

CrtxReavrIf I type 'man man' it displays the page as it should, but when I quite out of the pager, this gets printed to my terminal: man: can't resolve man7/groff_man.716:00
rfm  CrtxReavr interesting, does it for me too (26.04)16:04
CrtxReavrhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1521258/what-means-cant-resolve-man7-groff-man-716:04
CrtxReavrNot a new issue I guess.16:04
CrtxReavrThis is Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS16:04
CrtxReavrGlitch in the matrix.16:05
jStefanthere is a section 7 that would require the groff package to be installed16:07
jStefanyou could do: man 1 man, if you only need to read section 116:07
CrtxReavrIt's pretty squarely in the "weird but harmless" catagory. . . I just noticed it by testing my manpage colorizaton settings.16:10
rfmproblem goes all the way back to Debian, it's filed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=110182716:19

dexter19hello17:41
dexter19is there anyone out there ?17:42
gordonjcpdexter19: probably quite a lot of people but given the time most of them are likely to be eating their dinner17:45
dexter19yea probably, although for me its 19:47. I just installed icr client app and checking out this whole icr thing17:48
dexter19typical, as soon as I join in, people are leaving xd17:52
gordonjcpheh17:52
tomreynit's a support channel, there's also #ubuntu-offtopic for colloquial chat17:52
gordonjcpdexter19: there's #ubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat17:52
gordonjcptomreyn: jinx17:52
=== leftyfb_ is now known as leftyfb
dexter19thanks, i will look into it17:52
gordonjcpdexter19: there used to be general discussion in here but now it's just where people play IdleRPG17:53
dexter19this channel was the first to be recommended17:53
leftyfbgordonjcp: it's always been a support channel.17:55
gordonjcpleftyfb: it did also have more "social" discussion about what people were *doing* with Ubuntu17:55

gordonjcpyes, that's what I meant17:57
leftyfbalso complete spam17:58
gordonjcpkrascovict: also "military grade encryption" is, uh, not good17:58

Manouchehricbreak: it depends on what hardware you're using. WireGuard does work pretty dang well on most things, but it's hard to beat AES-NI + ESP offloading.18:09
leftyfbManouchehri: you're responding to a conversation that happened 25 hours ago18:13
Manouchehrileftyfb: because I just saw the message now, and my response is still applicable and might be useful?18:13
no_internetleftyfb: I don't think many people actually use IRC nowadays, at least not activiely19:52
no_internetbot btw, beep boop! <319:52
enycWe are here but you close out so quiclk!20:14
enycand in lots of other channels!20:14
JanCManouchehri: and then get hacked by a local user  ;)20:36
ManouchehriJanC: how would IPsec get you hacked by a local user..?20:36
JanCManouchehri: there have been several local privilege escalation exploits recently, at least 2 of them based on bugs in esp20:45
JanCin esp kernel modules20:45
ManouchehriJanC: mhm, been aware of that for awhile. People shouldn't be running different users on the same system without at *least* a VM barrier between. i.e. a local user shouldn't be on the same Linux install as your networking stuff.20:47
Manouchehripassword sudo is stupid imo20:49
Manouchehrishould be passwordless so people never had a false sense of security to begin with20:49
JanCsudo isn't particularly relevant20:50
ManouchehriJanC: these recent bugs are barely any different than just running `sudo`.20:50
JanCand of course in theory the esp bugs could have been in wireguard and then that would have been the problem, which is why I used ";)"20:52
JanC(although maybe wireguard has better code, dunno)20:52
JanCbut yeah, a VMs are safer than containers for this sort of thing20:53
ManouchehriJanC: I can't think of a qemu breakout that worked with default settings when using KVM + virtio net + no GPU :)20:55

=== IL_code is now known as Babaj
JanCManouchehri: but you can never be 100% certain, I guess21:13
ManouchehriJanC: that goes for anything in life. There's real mitigations that are easy to add imo.21:13
JanCand of course VMs have performance penalties compared to containers21:13
JanCso it's always a matter of risk calculation21:15
ManouchehriJanC: we're talking like <10%, often less than what the Linux kernel has added for other mitigations for CPU bugs21:16
JanCbut still relevant for some21:20
JanCanyway; just pointing out that decisions like the choice of VPN might have unintended consequences21:21
JanChigher performance is not always better21:22
gordonjcpleftyfb: the neat thing about IRC is that it's very asynchronous21:24
=== IL_code is now known as Babaj
JanCI can't really judge the quality of code between IPsec & WG, but at least in this case choosing IPsec over WG based on performance might not have turned out well21:26
JanCin some cases21:26
Thalpiushello23:01

tomreyngood, thanks. and i hope the same applies to you. do you have an ubuntu support question for this support channel today?23:02
