[00:02] <tomreyn> apawl: 18.04.2 is not released (but yes, systems may already report this). is this fully patched then, rebooted into latest kernel? VM or bare metal? how many systems use this NIC?
[00:03] <tomreyn> do you actually see dropped packages listed?
[00:04] <apawl> tomreyn: sorry, here's more info on version: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-43-generic x86_64). fully patched bare metal. just the NIC on the motherboard hooked up to local network
[00:04] <swift110> sup
[00:04] <apawl> This is a home server, nothing crazy running or consuming it
[00:04] <swift110> apawl: what are the specs of it?
[00:05] <tomreyn> 4.15.0-45.48 is current
[00:05] <apawl> tomreyn: Where should I look to see dropped packets? I'm assuming when my ssh session or webapps are completely unresponsive => packet drop
[00:08] <apawl> swift110: 2 Xeon E5-2670s, 32GB ram, running on a Gigabyte GA-7PESH2 motherboard
[00:08] <apawl> NIC is Intel X540 (10GbE)
[00:11] <tomreyn> apwl "netstat -s" for statistics
[00:12] <tomreyn> completely unresponsive is bad, obviously. did you check whether there is link congestion when this happens?
[00:12] <tomreyn> anything logged in dmesg?
[00:14] <tomreyn> "ip -s link" is a maybe better alternative to netstat -s
[00:14] <apawl> tomreyn: Actually netstat -s reports "0 incoming packets discarded".. Is that counter since last restart? Wondering if I'm misidentifying the symptom
[00:15] <apawl> nothing logged in dmesg but UFW blocks (not the issue because I can normally have ssh sessions, for example)
[00:15] <tomreyn> since interface was last brought up, IIRC.
[00:16] <apawl> Weird. I've definitely had the issue since last time this interface was brought up. Hm..
[00:16] <tomreyn> hmm, could also be reboot / network initialization, i'm unsure.
[00:16] <apawl> So the netdata alarm is for "number of times, during the last 10min, ksoftirq ran out of sysctl net.core.netdev_budget or time slice"
[00:17] <apawl> That number of times shoots way up when I experience this
[00:17] <apawl> Does that correlate to something else besides dropped packets that could explain this?
[00:18] <tomreyn> with a 10 GB link you may want to rise net.core.netdev_budget to 600
[00:19] <apawl> That's one of the things I was wondering. I know there's so much variance between systems, but wasn't sure the proper way to tune that value
[00:19] <tomreyn> this can also be a result of overloaded context switching / busy CPU.
[00:21] <apawl> So it usually happens when I'm downloading a lot of data from somewhere like S3, but my internet connection is way less than 10Gb/s, so I assume it's not like saturated. And it has plenty of cores, so I wasn't expecting context switching to be a bottleneck, but maybe?
[00:21] <tomreyn> documentation to the rescue https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysctl/net.txt
[00:22] <tomreyn> if none of your cpu cores are fully loaded then context switching wont be casing this, i dont think.
[00:25] <apawl> Ok, from those docs, netdev_budget is "Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI poll)."
[00:27] <apawl> Does that mean the polling cycle is too long? That it's hitting the max and dropping everything until the next cycle?
[00:27] <tomreyn> i lack better understanding of this, too. you may want to also try in #ubuntu-server, ##linux, ##networking if no one with a better clue responds here
[00:28] <apawl> Ok. Thanks for your help. I already feel a little bettter about my understanding here (even though I don't know the problem or the solution yet..)
[00:30] <tomreyn> also make sure you'r enot just getting packeted by the internet
[00:31] <apawl> What does "packeted by the interent" mean in this case? Like traversing outside local network?
[00:31] <tomreyn> it could be that you have loads of small packets incoming, rather udp or icmp than tcp
[00:32] <apawl> Oh yeah, UFW _should_ be handling that I think
[00:33] <tomreyn> it would drop them, but the kernel would still need to handle each packet
[00:35] <apawl> Oh, true. Do I disable at the kernel level? Or expect my router/nat to block?
[00:39] <tomreyn> apawl: if you have a proper hardware firewall in front, let it do that.
[00:39] <tomreyn> but it's not good to work on suspicion, only, try to get a better idea of what is really going on.
[00:40] <tomreyn> netdata specific discussion of this sysctl setting (and there are not a lot of other hits) https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/7usqp7/netdata_alarm_netdev_budget_running_out/
[00:41] <apawl> Thanks for your help tomreyn. Looks like I've got more digging to do.
[00:42] <tomreyn> not sure i helped a lot, good luck! ;)

[02:38] <swift110> hey dynaflash
[02:40] <nightshift> On 18.04.2 I need to run a setterm and a setpci on every boot. I'm seeing conflicting advice (on old versions) on where I should set these, either in root's crontab or in /etc/rc.local. Does it really matter where I set these to be run (they need to run even without a user actually logging in)
[02:49] <nightshift> Oooops, appears not to matter, rc.local doesn't exist on my machine
[02:57] <davidv7> any ubunters in chat
[03:04] <adm_mint> hello folks
[03:04] <leftyfb> davidv7: this is a support channel. Feel free to go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat
[03:04] <adm_mint> i have a question
[03:04] <leftyfb> !ask | adm_mint
[03:05] <adm_mint> ok ubottu: how can i inactivate the nvidia graphic card using systemctl?
[03:06] <leftyfb> adm_mint: for what purpose?
[03:06] <adm_mint> i wanna use just the intel
[03:06] <leftyfb> adm_mint: you don't do it through systemctl
[03:06] <leftyfb> adm_mint: You should first try your BIOS
[03:07] <adm_mint> i see. is there an alternative?
[03:07] <leftyfb> adm_mint: check your bios, if not, look into prime for nvidia I think
[03:07] <adm_mint> i think to disable the nvidia drivers
[03:08] <leftyfb> adm_mint: or you do it the right way with either of the 2 options I gave you
[03:10] <adm_mint> would to put the nvidia drivers in blacklist work?
[03:12] <leftyfb> adm_mint: no
[03:12] <leftyfb> adm_mint: you need the nvidia drivers to properly select intel over nvidia
[03:13] <leftyfb> https://www.linuxbabe.com/desktop-linux/switch-intel-nvidia-graphics-card-ubuntu
[03:14] <adm_mint> ok, thank you.

[07:16] <siloxid> I have a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04. when I log in the login prompt goes away, all UI goes away and then it does nothing. I can move the mouse but nothing will come up. any ideas?
[07:17] <madeinusa> tell the truth
[07:18] <madeinusa> you guys ever try that?
[07:18] <madeinusa> works 4 me
[07:29] <siloxid> well, the truth is.. this is really cruddy and annoying. it won't even drop into a virtual console like a good little unix
[07:29] <siloxid> s/unix/linux
[07:30] <siloxid> so I can uninstall gdm and friends and install a desktop that's not DOA
[07:37] <ikanobori> siloxid: You can't get to one with ctrl-alt-f1 or whatever?
[07:38] <siloxid> ikanobori: that's correct
[07:38] <ikanobori> Weird.
[07:38] <ikanobori> What happens if you do that before you login?
[07:39] <siloxid> ikanobori: it freezes up the machine if I do it before login
[07:39] <SlidingHorn> siloxid: I'm about to go to bed, but what GPU?
[07:40] <siloxid> SlidingHorn: geforce gtx 1080
[07:40] <SlidingHorn> what driver are you using siloxid
[07:41] <siloxid> SlidingHorn: I didn't choose it, so it would be the default
[07:41] <SlidingHorn> siloxid: can you get to a TTY *before* logging in?
[07:42] <ikanobori> siloxid: What happens if you reboot in single user and/or text mode.
[07:42] <ikanobori> That should not start your graphical environment at all.
[07:42] <siloxid> I would love to try that. how do I get into text mode? I don't have any prompt at startup time
[07:43] <ikanobori> No grub prompt for a very short amount of time?
[07:43] <siloxid> no
[07:45] <ikanobori> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[07:45] <ikanobori> Should help out then.
[07:45] <SlidingHorn> siloxid: when you hit the power button, start spamming shift immediately - might help to force GRUB
[07:46] <ikanobori> It's hard to tell but it does slightly sound like something is wrong with the graphical device. Why it does show you your login prompt and freezes later on. Dunno, maybe it tries to enable some 3d capabilities at that point.
[07:47] <stemn> export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock; clear
[07:47] <stemn> yarn tmux:weechat:attach
[07:53] <SlidingHorn> !nomodeset | siloxid also check this for some possible assistance
[07:54] <siloxid> omg, I found some old notes from the last time I installed this OS and then forgot: "the insane gdm3 problem: keep trying to log in until it succeeds, then install xdm"
[07:55] <siloxid> this is a little different than the above, it boots up ok but hangs after login
[07:58] <siloxid> but it doesn't display any grub startup screen  O_o
[07:59] <siloxid> I can't find any way in other than my notes, which isn't working either. putting in the boot USB stick and booting into text mode doesn't work either. this system is impenetrable!
[08:04] <EriC^^> siloxid: hi what's the problem?
[08:08] <siloxid> I have a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04. when I log in the login prompt goes away, all UI goes away and then it does nothing. I can move the mouse but nothing will come up. I can't drop into virtual console or boot grub into safe mode
[08:12] <EriC^^> siloxid: did it ever login?
[08:13] <siloxid> Eric^^: it's hard to tell, but it seems to get into at least the first step in login
[08:14] <EriC^^> did it ever work fully?
[08:14] <EriC^^> siloxid: ^
[08:14] <siloxid> Eric^^: no
[08:17] <siloxid> I'm reinstalling now
[08:17] <EriC^^> siloxid: have you tried pressing esc to get grub to show?
[08:17] <EriC^^> siloxid: ok, try this time not to check the 'update while installing'
[08:17] <EriC^^> that might be the issue
[08:31] <apn> is there a way to install WoT? :)
[08:31] <apn> on Linux?
[08:33] <spn> hello
[08:41] <talx> does making pxe installion of 18.04 is the same as 16.04 ?
[08:41] <ducasse> talx: you should probably ask in #ubuntu-server
[08:52] <siloxid> some problem after reinstall. esc worked to get me into grub, and I removed lightdm. yay!
[08:53] <siloxid> s/some/same
[08:57] <EriC^^> siloxid: ok
[08:57] <EriC^^> siloxid: so you dont get a tty you say?
[08:57] <EriC^^> ctrl+alt+f1
[08:57] <siloxid> Eric^^ that wouldn't work with lightDM but I installed xdm and everything's great now
[08:57] <siloxid> ty Eric^^ SlidingHorn ikanobori
[08:58] <EriC^^> aha, great
[09:35] <naquad> hi
[09:35] <EriC^^> hi
[09:36] <naquad> it looks like cron is issuing invalid (non-standard) rfc822 from address: From: root@server (Cron Daemon) - which can't be parsed by smarthost i use. is there any way to fix it?
[09:54] <ducasse> naquad: you can set MAILTO, see 'man 5 crontab'
[09:54] <ducasse> oh, from - sorry
[09:55] <naquad> yeah, it is hardcoded :( i've made a rewrite with exim4
[09:56] <geirha> appears to be hard-coded   do_command.c:561:       fprintf(mail, "From: root (Cron Daemon)\n");

[10:47] <elichai2> Hey, I want to replace horizontal scrolling with vertical scrolling
[10:47] <elichai2> How can I do that?
[10:48] <lucavinci> hi
[10:56] <Schabo> Hi guys! I'm running ubuntu 18.04 and have 3 monitors connected to a GTX1060 with nvidia 390 driver.
[10:57] <Schabo> It has problems keeping the monitors where they should be and rotation of them.
[10:57] <Schabo> If monitors go to sleep the rotation is lost and same with position, it goes back to some autodetect or something.
[10:58] <Schabo> Any ideas on that?
[10:58] <Schabo> Looking in xorg.conf it looks to be the way i want with rotations and positions of the monitors
[11:31] <Schabo> Also i can't seem to install nvidia-410 as apt-get install nvidia-410 gives errors trying to overwrite a file that belongs to another package, libglx-mesa0.
[11:32] <Schabo> so now i don't have an nvidia driver installed at all... the nvidia-390 wont install again. Gives same error
[11:32] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: try the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu ppa
[11:32] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | Schabo
[11:33] <Schabo> So the one in the repo are broken? Why are they even there if it's like that
[11:34] <Schabo> The 410 drivers aren't mentioned on that link you sent...
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: wich card do you have mate?
[11:35] <Schabo> I said it a few lines back... but it's a nvidia GTX1060
[11:35] <LaRose_Bleu> jacquelyn24 is spamming
[11:35] <LaRose_Bleu> quick heads up
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: gtx cards, surely need the nvidia ppa, try a latest version like 415
[11:36] <Schabo> In the additional drivers the latest are 410 and fail to install
[11:37] <Schabo> I'll try downloading directly from nvidia
[11:37] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: thats not what i'd reccomend
[11:38] <Schabo> ok, well nothing else seems to install or work as they should
[11:38] <Schabo> Where do you mean I'd install them from?
[11:38] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[11:48] <spn> hello
[11:49] <Schabo> Damn, this is gonna f up my cuda... but i need a working computer so...
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:57] <Schabo> ok, so the install of nvidia-415 actually succeeded... now for a reboot to see if it really works
[12:00] <Schabo> Well, the screens are still not right after a reboot and now i get a "System program problem detected" too
[12:00] <Schabo> But the driver is 415 now
[12:04] <Schabo> lotuspsychje: Any more ideas? or do i have to reinstall and hope it works the 5'th time around?
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: no, dont reinstall
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: is your system up to date please?
[12:05] <Schabo> yes
[12:05] <Schabo> it is
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: 18.04?
[12:05] <BluesKaj> Schabo, are you sure the 415 is the recommended driver?
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: i reccomended as its a gtx
[12:06] <Schabo> BluesKaj: I got it recommended by lotuspsychje
[12:06] <Schabo> lotuspsychje: yes, 18.04
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: apt doesnt complain about things?
[12:07] <Schabo> nope, i have 6 packages to upgrade even though i did it earlier today
[12:07] <BluesKaj> I would check on nvidia's site, just to be sure ...don't use their diver, but the number will be the same
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: sudo lshw -C video to see if the driver= is picked up?
[12:08] <Schabo> There is no row saying "driver"
[12:09] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: unclaimed?
[12:09] <Schabo> oh sorry, wait
[12:09] <Schabo> configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
[12:09] <Schabo> I missed it, it's nvidia
[12:09] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: yep, that should work
[12:09] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: so your 'problem detected', what is it about?
[12:10] <Schabo> I have no idea as the gui doesn't say anything about it
[12:10] <Schabo> Taking a look in syslog now
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: normally you can unfold details to see whats it about
[12:12] <Schabo> I must have closed it already, but i have several exceptions in syslog. from gnome-shell
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> maybe its unrelated to your new driver
[12:13] <Schabo> could be but appeared at the same time
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: make sure apt doesnt spit out errors anymore with this:
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> !uptodate | Schabo
[12:13] <BluesKaj> yeah, try the updates
[12:14] <Schabo> Will do, give me a sec
[12:14] <Schabo> apt upgrade done, updated 6 packages
[12:15] <Schabo> Should i do full-upgrade also?
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: what gives you uname -a plz?
[12:15] <Schabo> Linux beliskner 4.15.0-45-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> looks good Schabo
[12:16] <Schabo> It should, i installed it about a week ago
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: was this un upgrade or clean install?
[12:16] <Schabo> clean install
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> allrighty
[12:17] <Schabo> The monitor issue has been there since start. didn't actually try the nouveu drivers at all, installed the nvidia ones the first thing i did
[12:17] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: we have a lot of users having good experience with the ubuntu graphics ppa
[12:18] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: tell us more about your monitor problem?
[12:19] <Schabo> Alright so... three monitors, one rotated left. Two monitors are 1600x1200 and one is 2K resolution. I arranged the order and rotatio in nvidia-config and it works...
[12:20] <Schabo> ...until monitors goes to sleep or i reboot. They seem to loose the setting and i have t oredo them
[12:20] <Schabo> I have saved the xorg.conf file and it looks they way i want things to be
[12:21] <Schabo> It also changes the primary monitor
[12:21] <lotuspsychje> normally editing the xorg way isnt needed anymore, and systemsettings/screen should do the trick
[12:21] <Schabo> hmm, let me take a look there
[12:22] <BluesKaj> Schabo, the nvidia driver site recommends the 410.93 driver, not the 415
[12:23] <Schabo> BluesKaj: I had 390 installed and had this issue. Hade trouble installing any other driver from the repos. So i got suggested to install the PPA and install 415 from there which i did. Still same problem. Not sure the 410 will solve this
[12:23] <Schabo> lotuspsychje: All looks correct in system settings right now
[12:23] <BluesKaj> I've used nvidia for yrs and I would go by their recommendation, but use the ubuntu version of the 410
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> you can try Schabo
[12:24] <Schabo> So 410 from the PPA?
[12:26] <Schabo> ok, I'll uninstall the 415 i installed from the PPA and install 410 from there instead.
[12:27] <Schabo> Should i reboot in between?
[12:27] <lotuspsychje> yeah always reboot after installing a new driver
[12:27] <BluesKaj> no use the 410 in the repo
[12:27] <BluesKaj> not the ppa
[12:27] <Schabo> BluesKaj: all but 390 fails from the repo... I could try again ofc...
[12:28] <Schabo> So the 410 from repo failed
[12:29] <BluesKaj> xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-410
[12:29] <Schabo> dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-410_410.79-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/framebuffer-nvidia', which is also in package nvidia-kernel-common-415 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1
[12:29] <Schabo> oh.. ok... let me try that one
[12:29] <BluesKaj> remove the 415 first
[12:29] <Schabo> Not confusing at all with all the different nvidia drivers
[12:29] <Schabo> yeah, it's removed already
[12:30] <BluesKaj> ok
[12:30] <Schabo> Well, that install went through ok.  There is no details
[12:33] <BluesKaj> in the nvidia configure gui?
[12:33] <Schabo> Will check there
[12:33] <Schabo> Yeaha... umm... blank window with a quit button is all i get
[12:33] <Schabo> oh, and a help button... but that's it
[12:34] <Schabo> The lshw command says driver nvidia
[12:35] <BluesKaj> is this a laptop or pc?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> you may want o check the uefi/bios for pci graphics instead of onboard if it's a pc
[12:36] <Schabo> It's a pc
[12:36] <Schabo> onboard graphics are disabled
[12:37] <BluesKaj> still check the pci setting is enabled for graphics
[12:37] <Schabo> And if they are disabled, what would that do?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> it would revert to onboard
[12:39] <Schabo> In what cases would it revert? That has never happened before.
[12:39] <BluesKaj> but stillmight show invidia wth the lshw
[12:39] <BluesKaj> dkms ?
[12:40] <Schabo> Well if it reverts it's because the driver or card fails somehow right?
[12:40] <Schabo> The card is fine so it's a driver issue
[12:41] <Schabo> unless this driver installation actually broke it right now
[12:42] <Schabo> I can't do anything right now.. I'm installing another driver that gives me more resolution and monitors
[12:42] <Schabo> brb
[12:43] <BluesKaj> hmm, that's really odd
[12:43] <Schabo> yeah, i agree
[12:44] <BluesKaj> dkms installed?
[12:44] <Schabo> I think it's interesting how i can linux 10 times and have 10 different experiences
[12:44] <Schabo> how i can install linux..*
[12:45] <BluesKaj> dkms builds the pci driver properly
[12:46] <Schabo> Well dkms is installed now with the other driver
[12:46] <Schabo> rebooting
[12:46] <zenirc369> command| grep -w heat
[12:46] <zenirc369> includes output with both heat and heat-cfn
[12:46] <zenirc369> how can i exclude heat-cfn from output to get the output with only the word 'heat'
[12:49] <Schabo> ok, back with 415 from PPA and monitors messed up again.
[12:49] <blackflow> !crosspost | zenirc369
[12:52] <BluesKaj> Schabo, so we still don't know if the 410 driver works properly since you didn't build it with dkms
[12:52] <Schabo> ok, so am i stupid or where is the apply/save button in the system settings/displays?
[12:53] <Schabo> I installed the 410 and it should install dkms automatically if it is needed. That packages is broken
[12:55] <Schabo> ok, found the save button...
[12:55] <Schabo> BluesKaj: So you think i should install it again?
[12:55] <Schabo> I can do that
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Schabo, it's worth a try
[12:56] <Schabo> Which one is actually the "right" or "prefered" or "working" driver here? I've found at least 4 different 410's now.
[12:58] <BluesKaj> use the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-410
[12:59] <BluesKaj> Schabo,^
[12:59] <elichai2> Out of nowhere my bluetooth stopped working
[12:59] <elichai2> Here's the logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WFWwX6jWWv/
[12:59] <elichai2> any ideas what to do?
[13:00] <Schabo> So believe it or not but now after a reboot with the 415 driver i kept the configuration. The difference this time is that i didn't use nvidia-config to change the settings
[13:01] <Schabo> BluesKaj and lotuspsychje ^^
[13:01] <BluesKaj> Schabo, and ?
[13:02] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: im a fan of the ubuntu graphics ppa way
[13:02] <Schabo> ..and if it stays like that i guess the problem is solved?
[13:02] <Schabo> The 415 is from that PPA
[13:03] <ioria> elichai2, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1790454    check #51
[13:03] <BluesKaj> ok  if it works then stay with  ppa 415
[13:03] <Schabo> I'm gonna run with this as it's the first and only configuration i've found. I just hope it works after the monitors has been to sleep too
[13:04] <Schabo> So next up is "How to trouble shoot 'System problem detected'" that doesn't have more information
[13:04] <Schabo> troubleshoot*
[13:09] <Alina-malina> wrong fs type bad option bad superblock    is there any chance to save an external USB drive?
[13:09] <Alina-malina> or its completely devastated?
[13:09] <Alina-malina> its making some noise like crunch.....crunch.....crunch...crunch.........on every cycle
[13:11] <Alina-malina> https://pastebin.com/raw/LrPhwLa6
[13:11] <Alina-malina> dmesg
[13:13] <Schabo> lotuspsychje and BluesKaj Thank you for your help! =)
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> welcome Schabo
[13:13] <Schabo> :)
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> Schabo: syslog, dmesg or crash logs
[13:15] <Alina-malina> ok i am running ddrescue its rsquing into recovery.img file, i have no idea if this will help but its doing something
[13:15] <Alina-malina> rescuing*
[13:15] <Schabo> lotuspsychje: is there a defult place where crashlogs go?
[13:18] <BluesKaj> Alina-malina, that's worth a try
[13:19] <hyperknot> hi, what is the difference between sysctl -p and sysctl --system?
[13:19] <hyperknot> in 18.04
[13:19] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: take a look at "man sysctl"
[13:19] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje, looks like that was agood call on the 415 ppa, but I'm still puzzled why the 410 recommended doesn't do the job
[13:20] <hyperknot> pragmaticenigma: thanks, I just read it. so if -p doesn't show any lines it means that it's not applying anything at all?
[13:21] <Schabo> BluesKaj: I think the problem was that i used nvidia-config instead of the system settings to change the setup. I'm sure that would have worked on 390 too that i started with
[13:21] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: I'm not that familiar with sysctl ... I was only directing you to a resource that would have the information you sought
[13:21] <Schabo> But yeah, strange that the 410 xorg driver didn't work at all
[13:21] <hyperknot> pragmaticenigma: thanks
[13:21] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: I would assume that if no output is seen, that the command/application didn't do anything
[13:21] <hyperknot> pragmaticenigma: that's what's happening.
[13:21] <BluesKaj> Schabo, you didn't buld it with dkms
[13:22] <hyperknot> anyone familiar with a solution to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/50093 ?
[13:22] <hyperknot> it's a 11 year old bug
[13:22] <Schabo> BluesKaj: Nope, i just did apt install on it. imo that should build dkms if needed
[13:22] <hyperknot> so far the best solution seems to be to add this line to crontab: @reboot root sleep 5 && sysctl --system
[13:22] <Alina-malina> BluesKaj, how to check if its legit doing thinsg?
[13:23] <BluesKaj> Alina-malina, not sure, I've heard that ddrescue can effective tho
[13:23] <BluesKaj> be
[13:24] <BluesKaj> i just use dd
[13:24] <Schabo> Would this cause an "System problem detected" "gnome-shell[1082]: Failed to create backend: No resources" and then it exits with code 1. The whole X server restarted at that point
[13:25] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: the -p option requires a supplied config file to run. So if the issued command is "sysctl -p" it's not going to do anything (why it doesn't display an error is strange)
[13:25] <BluesKaj> Alina-malina, but if the drive is making odd noises then it could be deteriorating mechanically
[13:26] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: --system tells sysctl to run the config files in the /etc folder as documented. As far as the bug is concerned, a workaround is all that seems to be available
[13:27] <hyperknot> pragmaticenigma: yes, this is what I understand as well. So the last comment  on  2018-05-30 is basically wrong.
[13:28] <pragmaticenigma> hyperknot: more than likely
[13:38] <hyperknot> I made a comment there with the correct line

[14:19] <ans> cisco
[14:25] <happycoder> I am trying to learn grub. When grub shows ubuntu and windows entries, I press c to go to command line mode. Then I typed `ls`. It is showing nothing.. isn't it supposed to list all drives?
[14:25] <tomreyn> laptop: 1GB RMA is really not much in general, and this must be an older and slow AMD CPU, too. Can you say which CPU exactly?
[14:25] <tomreyn> s/RMA/RAM/
[14:26] <laptop> yes
[14:26] <laptop> cpu is 1.7 ghz amd anthlon x2
[14:26] <laptop> so two cpu 1.7 ghz
[14:26] <laptop> 1 gb ram
[14:26] <pragmaticenigma> happycoder: I suggest you read the documentation for grub. In the mean time, no "ls" is a bash command, grub does not implement bash
[14:27] <happycoder> I had read this: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/ls.html
[14:27] <EriC^^> happycoder: yes it is supposed to show all drives
[14:27] <happycoder> it is not showing :( what could be the reason?
[14:27] <EriC^^> happycoder: ls -l , works as well (shows the uuid and whatnot for filesystems
[14:28] <pragmaticenigma> sorry... wasn't aware that was present
[14:28] <EriC^^> happycoder: maybe the drive isnt connected properly? does it show up in the bios?
[14:28] <happycoder> ls -l is not working either
[14:28] <happycoder> it boots fine
[14:28] <happycoder> both windows and ubuntu
[14:28] <happycoder> I was just trying to know it better
[14:30] <happycoder> I also tried to edit the existing Ubuntu entry, commented out linux and initrd line, then added `ls -l` and `sleep 1` there.. Still no output
[14:33] <happycoder> I turned secure boot off... and et viola!
[14:33] <happycoder> ls now works
[14:33] <happycoder> :)
[14:34] <happycoder> thanks EriC^^ and pragmaticenigma
[14:45] <kittykitty> i've got linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS> in a "very bad inconsistent state" and need to "reinstall it before attempting removal" but every time i do anything with apt, the whole machine in the vm stops. Apt never goes higher than 5% on an upgrade or reinstall of the headers??
[14:48] <cryptodan> if using a vm, then go back to a stable snapshot if you have one or recreate the vm
[14:49] <kittykitty> cryptodan: yeah i probably will but, it should be fixable right? It's really weird
[15:07] <Guest24869> anyone awake in here ?

[15:40] <lotuspsychje> !acpi | migue
[15:40] <migue> but whe i open lid it start... but is unusable after 5:00 minutes(!!!!)
[15:41] <migue> it has a delay to become ready 5 minutes (or 300 seconds... ever!)
[15:42] <migue> lotuspsychje: i will seee... thanks! :)
[15:42] <migue> ubottu: i will seee... thanks! :)
[15:42] <migue> ubottu: ok
[15:43] <migue> lotuspsychje: !acpi output is "acpid"
[15:45] <mrchairman> I want to find a file and pipe it out to cat, is that possible I tried:  find -name "security.yml" | cat
[15:46] <leftyfb> mrchairman: man find # and look for --exec
[15:46] <lordcirth_> mrchairman, piping to cat will have cat output "security.yml", not it's contents
[15:46] <mrchairman> thanks leftyfb!
[15:46] <lordcirth_> find --exec is indeed the correct tool
[15:46] <mrchairman> yep, I wanted to cat it, to read it real quick
[15:47] <mrchairman> you guys do a great public service
[15:48] <ssarah> which packages do i need to update the kernel ? https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.20.8/
[15:48] <ssarah> i got these linux-headers-4.20.8-042008_4.20.8-042008.201902121544_all.deb            linux-modules-4.20.8-042008-generic_4.20.8-042008.201902121544_amd64.deb
[15:48] <ssarah> linux-headers-4.20.8-042008-generic_4.20.8-042008.201902121544_amd64.deb
[15:49] <ssarah> do i also need the unsinged generic  one?
[15:50] <pragmaticenigma> ssarah: what are you trying to do exactly?
[15:50] <ssarah> update the kernel, sorry
[15:50] <ssarah> i've done it before, but normally it was 3 packages, now there's 4
[15:51] <pragmaticenigma> ssarah: how are you updating the kernel? Normally, you just run "apt upgrade" and it takes care of the rest for you.
[15:52] <paul1us> hi there, my friend has Thinkpad laptop and his wifi card was not working (we do not know if it is damaged or what), but on 18.04 he managed to have internet via an external adapter. Now he updated to 18.10 and even the adapter not working. Please help :)
[15:52] <ssarah> i want a newer kernel for better hardware support. i go to that website i just linked you with a bunch of official ubuntu kernels, and i download the packages and i install. done it before
[15:52] <leftyfb> ssarah: what hardware of yours is not working?
[15:52] <ssarah> before there were three packages, now there's 4. i cant find instructions on the web soo i thought i could came here and ask
[15:53] <ssarah> leftyfb, on the newest ubuntu am getting freezes on my home computer and work computer. I updated the kernel and xorg to the latest version at home and it fixed the problem
[15:54] <leftyfb> ssarah: which kernel version are you running at home?
[15:54] <pragmaticenigma> ssarah: for starters... that site is not how you update your kernel
[15:54] <ssarah> pragmaticenigma, there used to be an official guide on the ubuntu wiki referring this website
[15:55] <ssarah> leftyfb, the version with 18.10 and now another more recent one, probably 4.20.6 or something
[15:55] <leftyfb> ssarah: we cannot troubleshoot "probably" or "something"
[15:55] <ssarah> i don't want to troubleshoot anything. i just want to know why are there 4 packages instead of 3
[15:55] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: are you currently logged in with the laptop of your friend?
[15:56] <justtesting_> anyone else just generally find linux mint very buggy
[15:56] <lotuspsychje> offtopic justtesting_
[15:56] <justtesting_> lotuspsychje: should have waited
[15:56] <paul1us> lotuspsychje,  thank you for answering. no, I am not logged in with his laptop, as we did not manage to get the network going. not even via the cable
[15:56] <pragmaticenigma> justtesting_: Do you have a specific Ubuntu support question? Otherwise please ask your question in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:56] <leftyfb> ssarah: the links you posted are not how you update your kernel. So your question is pretty irrelavent to your issue
[15:57] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: you would get better support with the machine at hands but..you recall the wifi chipset please?
[15:57] <ssarah> this is how you update your kernel. the link is official and it was listed on the ubuntu wiki a while ago. this is not how a normal user does it but this has solved many problems with newer hardware in the past
[15:57] <leftyfb> !mainline | ssarah
[15:58] <pragmaticenigma> ssarah: what ever you found misdirected you... that screen at the very top tells you that all of those kernel builds are TEST branches... highly unstable
[15:58] <ssarah> meh, if it works
[15:58] <tomreyn> ssarah: mainline kernels (which is what you are trying to use) are not supported here, or by ubuntu. they are there for testing pruposes only. we will happily assist you trying to determine why your ubuntu releases' default (general availability, GA) kernel or (if one exists) hardware enablement (HWE) kernel do not work as expected.
[15:58] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, I would love to do it from that machine but as I said, we did not manage to access it. how would i find this information?
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: sudo lshw -C network, the chipset + driver would be good to know
[15:59] <eein> hello. how can I make default links in 18.04 dock?  I bound the install to AD and want all accounts to not get the welcome and not have Amazon links etc in thier dock. Some answers say .gconf folder to /etc/skel
[15:59] <ssarah> will just install all 4
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: alternate, try to update that machine over cable eth to possible fix wifi drivers
[15:59] <pragmaticenigma> ssarah: Doing so means we are not able to support your ubuntu installation in this channel. Just giving you a heads up
[16:01] <ssarah> jesus
[16:01] <ssarah> this is not linux anymore
[16:01] <eein> this is sparta
[16:01] <eein> sorry not sorry
[16:02] <lotuspsychje> eein: ?
[16:02] <eein> in response to ssarah "this isnt linux anymore" moview 300 reference
[16:04] <eein> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066239/how-to-change-default-dock-applications-for-new-users but yeah this went unanswered. If anyone has set a default dock for all users I would appreciate your technique
[16:06] <pragmaticenigma> eein: Typically items in /etc apply globally to all users. while the .gconf is local to the user signing in... You could just uninstall the packages responsible for Amazon and other unwanted apps
[16:06] <tomreyn> eein: try #gnome , maybe also their official channels.
[16:07] <eein> cool thanks. tomreyn I will. pragmaticenigma it was more like I want blender, gimp, etc in the dock for a computer lab. Also trying to figure out how to get rid of the shutdown button and replace it with a log off
[16:12] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, sorry,  I  got disconnected. However, I got this: https://pastebin.com/EKyRGJWz would it be helpful?
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: secureboot enabled could possibly also influence wifi
[16:15] <buschhardt> Its possible to disable the sort of the open windows when you click on the launcher for example: I've 3 Firefox-windows and they change everytime (the last active is top)
[16:15] <linelevel> Hello! I just ran `do-release-upgrade` to upgrade my EC2 server from 16.04 to 18.04. Now SSH is failing ("Permission denied (keyboard-interactive)."), but my original SSH session (where I did the upgrade) is still open. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[16:16] <linelevel> I've already verified that permissions on my authorized_keys file look fine, and the ssd_config still looks good.
[16:16] <linelevel> (sshd_config was unchanged by the upgrade)
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: seems like its detected: iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3165, REV=0x210
[16:16] <pragmaticenigma> linelevel: Support for EC2 should be provided by your vendor
[16:16] <linelevel> Note that I use public key authentication.
[16:17] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, we will try to disable secure boot now. gimme a sec.
[16:17] <qwebirc10786> hello
[16:17] <qwebirc10786> How do I completly unintall minecraft? I cant seem to get rid of it
[16:18] <linelevel> pragmaticenigma: This does not seem like an EC2-relevant issue, and they mainly support their Amazon Linux OS anyway. The same could have happened on any Ubuntu installation, so I think I posted my question in the right place.
[16:18] <Alina-malina> what would be the command on netcat/socat in ubuntu so to route traffic like "my laptop with ubuntu----->ubuntu Virtual Server----->irc:6697" is there any c script for doing this specifically in ubuntu?
[16:18] <pragmaticenigma> linelevel: The EC2 images are cusotmized for the environment they are run in. The system is not the same as what you download from official Canonical/Ubuntu distribution channels.
[16:19] <Alina-malina> aint they use some linux containers in ec2?
[16:20] <buschhardt> linelevel: Do your new installation support the chosen algorithm?
[16:21] <pragmaticenigma> buschhardt: linelevel was already asked to seek help through appropriate channels. EC2 is not supported here
[16:22] <linelevel> buschhardt: Yes, and no config files have changed.
[16:22] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, plus when we open Settings/Network, it says "Ooops something has gone wrong. please contact youur software vendor. NetworkManager needs to be running."
[16:23] <buschhardt> qwebirc10786: How do you install minecraft? By apt ?
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: is this ubuntu-desktop 18.10?
[16:24] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, yup
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: did you guys install minimal or so?
[16:25] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, I was not present, when the installation happened, but I recon he did it as standard as possible
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: try experimenting with secureboot, i assume you guys dualboot currently?
[16:26] <MJCD> hi - do I need to keep these old gtk 2 pixbuf and 'murrine' things?
[16:26] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, yes, we dualboot. I have just disabled secureBoot. still does not work
[16:26] <MJCD> or is it safe to remove them
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: did wifi work during setup?
[16:29] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, I do not know. however, we just loaded windows and it is working.
[16:29] <paul1us> it seems like, just trying to reinstall ubuntu be the solution. however, he had a similar problem with the previous version, just that external modem was working.
[16:29] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: test a live ubuntu LTS as a test perhaps?
[16:30] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: reinstalling ubuntu, isnt the solution to make wifi work again
[16:31] <paul1us> lotuspsychje,  ok, we will test with live cd. what/how are we testing? just to see if there is internet ?
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: see if your wifi is working there yes
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: system is up to date to latest also?
[16:33] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, it is 18.10 but did not receive any updates, as there was no internet
[16:34] <linelevel> I've run `ssh -v` to get verbose output, and I now see that when trying pubkey-based authentication (which should work), it says "Authenticated with partial success" and then moves on to keyboard-interactive (i.e. password) authentication. Any ideas?
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: update system via an eth cable
[16:35] <linelevel> buschhardt: ^ Let me know if you'd like to see the verbose output.
[16:35] <paul1us> lotuspsychje, so CD loaded. there is internet.
[16:35] <lotuspsychje> +1 paul1us
[16:35] <lotuspsychje> paul1us: i need to go right now, re-ask in the channel if you got problems ok, volunteers will continue
[16:39] <MJCD> is there a command I can run to see exactly what graphics drivers are running atm?
[16:46] <maeud> lshw MJCD
[16:49] <MJCD> maeud, perfect - thanks, did you know about the previous question regarding if I need to keep old gtk 2 rendering engines around? (murrine and pixbuff)
[16:58] <maxLeet`> Hi all, i need some help cleaning up my python environment. For some reason it's not really me install python3-venv due to missing dependencies.
[17:00] <paul1us> could anyone please help with getting the internet to work on ubuntu?
[17:02] <maxLeet`> paul1us: can you ping?
[17:05] <tomreyn> !details | paul1us
[17:05] <buschhardt> If someone looking like me for static previews of the dash-to-dock - I found it here - hope its in the next unbuntu update https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/639
[17:05] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: it's not really me install"?
[17:05] <paul1us> maxLeet`, it says ping www.google.com Name or service not known
[17:05] <tomreyn> ^ quote
[17:06] <imi> hi what's the default window manager of ubuntu?
[17:06] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: For some reason it's not letting me install python3-venv due to missing dependencies.
[17:06] <tomreyn> paul1us: name resolution is broken. which ubuntu veriso is this? tunning this in a temrinal should tell: lsb_release -ds
[17:06] <maxLeet`> paul1us: what about 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>' or a local address
[17:07] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: on which ubuntu release is this?
[17:07] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: 18.10
[17:07] <paul1us> tomreyn, thank you for trying to help. I have been on this channel for over an hour. so some details are already here. I can repeat. the system is 18.10. neither wifi, not Ethernet nor wifi via adapters or dongles work. it does work from live cd, it does work on windows. but not on the installed ubuntu. the problem seems to be with the network manager(but I am no expert).
[17:08] <paul1us> maxLeet`, network is unreachable
[17:09] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: so trying to install the "python3-venv" package on ubuntu 18.10 fails. package "python3-venv | 3.6.7-1~18.10" is available on this version. what does it say why it's failing?
[17:09] <paul1us> tomreyn,  I have this though  https://pastebin.com/EKyRGJWz
[17:10] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: python3-venv : Depends: python3.6-venv (>= 3.6.5-2~) but it is not going to be installed
[17:10] <lorcalhost> Hi I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.10 alongside windows but I'm having a hard time, after I boot into the "Try before install" The desktop loads but I'm unable to click on anything, trackpad becomes unresponsive afer a while too, and keyboard is not working (can't even open terminal)
[17:10] <tomreyn> paul1us: thanks for repeating. so is this a fresh ubuntu 18.10 installation? or did name resolution ever work there (i.e. could you browse the web before)?
[17:11] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: how are you trying to install? GUI (which?)? or terminal?
[17:12] <paul1us> tomreyn, no worries. I was thinking that it could be the best idea.. However, my friend previously had 18.04 and had similar issues. Not as severe, though, he was able to use the internet, but only over the wireless adapter.
[17:12] <maeud> paul1us: just set a DNS server
[17:12] <lorcalhost> I'm trying to install it through live USB, tried flashing it several times to with different programs and also tried Ubuntu LTS but gives same problem
[17:14] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: terminal
[17:14] <tomreyn> paul1us: okay, let's focus on the issue you're experiencing right now. also, did you spot this question I asked (slightly rephrased now)?   is this a fresh ubuntu 18.10 installation or did name resolution ever work on this 18.10 installation there (i.e. could you browse the web before)?
[17:14] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: did oyu run "apt update" beforehand?
[17:14] <maxLeet`> paul1us: have you tried manually starting up your network service?
[17:14] <MJCD> my network is not working, and I don't really know why
[17:15] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: yes..
[17:15] <lorcalhost> I'm trying to install on an Asus Zenbook Pro UX501 if that's of any help (nvidia graphics)
[17:15] <MJCD> it worked after/during install
[17:15] <MJCD> can I just reconfigure to default somehow?
[17:15] <Tsynk> I'm having a bit of trouble, how do I stop Windows from booting first and allowing GRUB to show first when I turn on my laptop? I disabled fast boot before I made my laptop as a dual boot.
[17:15] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: aptitude says i have the latest version
[17:16] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: someone told me that i have a mixed version of python on my system that i need to clean up
[17:16] <paul1us> tomreyn, sorry I did not get the questions. This is a fairly fresh install (about a week old). I just got information, that the internet dissappeared today. after the usual updates#
[17:17] <paul1us> maxLeet`, I am not sure. how would we do that?
[17:17] <buschhardt> Tsynk: Try press F8 key
[17:17] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: please post the url returned by: sudo /bin/true; nc termbin.com 9999 < <( sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update -y 2>&1; echo; sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -yf install 2>&1; echo sudo /usr/bin/apt-get --simulate -Vy full-upgrade 2>&1; )
[17:17] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: scratch this
[17:17] <EriC^> Tsynk: are you using uefi?
[17:17] <Tsynk> EriC^^, Yes.
[17:18] <EriC^^> Tsynk: which laptop is it?
[17:18] <buschhardt> Tsynk: switch uefi off
[17:18] <EriC^^> no, keep uefi
[17:18] <Tsynk> I am currently in Ubuntu 18.10 right now. I'm not listening to buschhardt.
[17:18] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: please post the url returned by: sudo /bin/true; nc termbin.com 9999 < <( sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update -y 2>&1; echo; sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -yf install 2>&1; echo sudo /usr/bin/apt-get --simulate -Vy full-upgrade 2>&1; echo; apt-cache policy python3-venv python3.6-venv 2>&1; echo; apt-cache policy 2>&1; )
[17:18] <Tsynk> Had a fight getting on here.
[17:18] <buschhardt> EriC^^: on my laptop was unable to install ubuntu with uefi
[17:19] <EriC^^> Tsynk: so the problem is solved?
[17:19] <Tsynk> EriC^^, HP 15-f233wm
[17:19] <Tsynk> EriC^^, No, I want GRUB to load first.
[17:19] <EriC^^> Tsynk: you had to use F9?
[17:19] <Tsynk> Without pressing a key.
[17:19] <EriC^^> ok, no worries
[17:19] <EriC^^> Tsynk: type "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" paste the link here
[17:19] <Tsynk> F11 to get into where I needed to be.
[17:20] <EriC^^> buschhardt: uefi can be a b* sometimes, but it can work with some elbow grease and whatnot :D
[17:20] <buschhardt> EriC^^: :-)
[17:21] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: sudo /bin/true not found.
[17:21] <tomreyn> paul1us: can you post the result of running this in a terminal to a pastebin?  readlink -f /etc/resolv.conf; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[17:21] <EriC^^> Tsynk: type sudo efibootmgr -A -b 0001
[17:22] <paul1us> maxLeet`, I believe that we are trying to start the network service manually now. we ran $ sudo  systemctl restart NetworkManager.service and it said Failed to restarte NetworkManager.service:  UnitNetworkManager.service is masked.
[17:22] <Tsynk> Okay, what should I do now?
[17:22] <paul1us> tomreyn, in one line or in multiple?
[17:22] <EriC^^> Tsynk: if you type efibootmgr -v again it shouldn't show a "*" next to windows anymore, meaning it's inactive, efibootmgr -a -b 0001 would make it active if you wanted to revert in the future
[17:22] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: can you show the full command you ran and the output returned on a pastebin please
[17:22] <tomreyn> !paste | in multiple lines, paul1us
[17:23] <Tsynk> It's not showing * beside of Windows.
[17:23] <EriC^^> Tsynk: great, try rebooting see if it goes straight to grub
[17:23] <Tsynk> Okay.
[17:24] <EriC^^> you also might need to disable the 2nd entry, ah he left
[17:25] <paul1us> tomreyn, https://pastebin.com/3jgHZd1e
[17:26] <tomreyn> paul1us: sorry i had missed that you said this system doesn't currently have any working network access. how did you extract this information now?
[17:27] <tomreyn> paul1us: are you working from the live cd then?
[17:27] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/C4nfmWEd
[17:28] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: and the output is?
[17:28] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: sudo /bin/true not found.
[17:28] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: do you have a standard blank space between "sudo" and "/bin/true"?
[17:28] <Tsynk> Okay, that worked, EriC^^, thanks.
[17:28] <EriC^^> Tsynk: great, no problem
[17:29] <EriC^^> Tsynk: remember, -A -b 0001 to revert in case you ever remove ubuntu
[17:29] <paul1us> tomreyn, i got this data via usb stick. ran the commands on the not working laptop and copied the log onto an usb, and then pasted it to pastebin from the working laptop.
[17:29] <Tsynk> Why should I remove Ubuntu? It's not Windoze!
[17:30] <paul1us> tomreyn,  thank you for your help but both me and my friend need to go home as it's rather late where we are. we will try to fix it tomorrow.
[17:30] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: i assume this will be difficult to verify, but please type the same command again ( sudo /bin/true ) and see what it returns this time.
[17:30] <Tsynk> I think I am going to copy the bit of log and save it in case I ever run into that again.
[17:30] <tomreyn> paul1us: alright, good luck!
[17:31] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/7fn5
[17:32] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: so i guess it worked this time? good.
[17:34] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: hmm you said you are running ubuntu 18.10, but this output suggests you're running ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
[17:35] <OerHeks> 43 not upgraded ...
[17:36] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: o.O
[17:36] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: sry, thought i was 18.10
[17:36] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: please post the url returned by:      sudo /bin/true; nc termbin.com 9999 < <( sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update -y 2>&1; echo; sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -y --simulate install python3-venv 2>&1; echo; sudo /usr/bin/apt-get --simulate -Vy full-upgrade 2>&1; )
[17:37] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: you should also install the 43 pernding updates.
[17:37] <tomreyn> *pending
[17:38] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/xhc5
[17:38] <tomreyn> ...this can be done using GUI tools or using: sudo apt full-upgrade
[17:41] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: shoud i attempt?
[17:41] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: running the above command.
[17:43] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: yes please. it may fail, or report errors. if so, post both the command you rand and the output tit generated to paste.ubuntu.com and post just the url of it here, please.
[17:45] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: no error reported.
[17:45] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: is there a specific reason why you have both the cz.archive.ubuntu.com and the archive.ubuntu.com apt mirrors configured?
[17:45] <maxLeet`> i needed to install virtualbox and thats not in the archive.ubuntu.com repo.
[17:45] <tomreyn> yes it is.
[17:46] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: apt couldnt find it at the momen.t
[17:46] <lordcirth_> maxLeet`, Yes, it is, and cz is a mirror of the main archive, so there's no difference
[17:46] <tomreyn> i see
[17:46] <maxLeet`> lordcirth: ok.
[17:47] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: that was the only reason i added the mirro is for the additional repo for virtualbox and virtualbox only.
[17:48] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: please post the url returned by:      sudo /bin/true; nc termbin.com 9999 < <( sudo /usr/bin/apt-get update -y 2>&1; echo; sudo /usr/bin/apt-get -y install python3-venv 2>&1; echo; apt-cache policy python3 python3-venv python3.6-venv  2>&1; )
[17:48] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: ok
[17:49] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/skg8
[17:50] <ioria> maxLeet`, do you have 'bionic-updates universe'   enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[17:50] <tomreyn> ooh good point ioria
[17:50] <ioria> let's check sources.list
[17:51] <tomreyn> but maxLeet` does
[17:51] <tomreyn> no, does not
[17:51] <tomreyn> you'Re right
[17:51] <maxLeet`> ioria: nope its set to main. not sure if that makes a differnce
[17:51] <ioria> it makes a big difference
[17:51] <maxLeet`> well, then..
[17:52] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: you need to have the same "pockets" such as "main universe multiverse restrcited" for both the normal (cz.)archive.ubuntu.com and the security.ubuntu.com apt sources
[17:52] <maxLeet`> ioria: is changing it as simple as ^main^universe?
[17:53] <ioria> maxLeet`,  eb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
[17:53] <ioria> maxLeet`,  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
[17:53] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: can i just remove the cz. mirror?
[17:54] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: you can, but i'd replace any archive.ubuntu.com by cz.archive.ubuntu.com rather. and please post /etc/apt/sources.list to a pastebin after you modified it.
[17:54] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: why cz over archive? just asking..
[17:55] <shadoxx> How do I install CentOS on Ubuntu?
[17:55] <ioria> maxLeet`,    better:   deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main universe restricted multiverse
[17:55] <OerHeks> shadoxx, on or over?
[17:55] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: i was assuming you were in this country. you should pick a country mirror that is close to you.
[17:55] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: this country? i mean, im no alien..
[17:56] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: im in the US
[17:56] <shadoxx> OerHeks: nvm, dumb question. i figured it out as soon as i typed that. didn't even phrase it right lol
[17:56] <shadoxx> i need coffee...
[17:56] <ioria> maxLeet`,   and run  sudo apt update  after
[17:56] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: "cz" stands for Czechia (Czech Republic)
[17:56] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: o.O LOL
[17:56] <tomreyn> it's a country in europe
[17:57] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: oh my.. wow..
[17:57] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: welp, thats changed..
[17:57] <rypervenche> lol
[17:57] <genii> maxLeet`: The main repository is archive.ubuntu.com but there are regional mirrors in most countries which are prefaced with the countrycode, like cz, us, ca whatever
[17:58] <maxLeet`> genii: ive been out of the linux loop for a bit.. and trying to get back into the swing of things. excuse my ignorance.
[17:58] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: let's see your updates /etc/apt/sources.list then. you can: cat /etc/apt/sources.list  | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:59] <tomreyn> *updateD
[18:00] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: should i set the new mirror in the highest priority (as in top of the list) or last?
[18:00] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: the order you list them in does not change their priority.
[18:01] <tomreyn> so you can freely chose which order you'll list them in.
[18:01] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: ok then
[18:01] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/gmwd
[18:02] <ioria> maxLeet`,  not good
[18:03] <maxLeet`> ioria: details
[18:03] <ioria> maxLeet`,  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic-security main universe restricted multiverse
[18:04] <maxLeet`> ioria: wouldnt cosmic be outdated for my system?
[18:07] <ioria> maxLeet`,  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8673YhY6wm/
[18:08] <ioria> maxLeet`,  sy, for the cosmic thing
[18:08] <maxLeet`> ioria: no worries, https://termbin.com/qvub
[18:09] <maxLeet`> ioria: looks good?
[18:09] <ioria> maxLeet`,  i guess, just c/p
[18:10] <ioria> maxLeet`,   sudo apt update
[18:10] <maxLeet`> ioria: it says 17 new packages.
[18:10] <maxLeet`> ioria: updating them..
[18:11] <ioria> mmmm, too little
[18:11] <maxLeet`> ioria: All packages are up to date.
[18:12] <ioria> maxLeet`,   apt-cache policy python3-venv
[18:12] <maxLeet`> ioria: https://termbin.com/jkey
[18:13] <ioria> ok
[18:14] <tomreyn> thanks for driving this further, ioria. here's another sources.list for 18.04 to compare. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/G4D2hGhcFT/
[18:14] <ioria> tomreyn, yeah
[18:15] <hyperknot> hi, how do you change /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled in ubuntu 18? in 16 I had this line appeneded to /etc/rc.local: echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
[18:17] <tomreyn> !yy.mm | hyperknot
[18:17] <hyperknot> 18.04 LTS of course
[18:17] <maxLeet`> ioria & tomreyn: :))) thank you!!!!!
[18:18] <ioria> maxLeet`,   that'ok, good job
[18:18] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: i'm glad ioria helped when i got stuck.
[18:18] <ioria> hyperknot, rc.local is not enabled (and meybe not working) on 18.04
[18:19] <deepfreez> Hi, is any alternative for Ubuntu/linux like MobaXTerm?
[18:19] <maxLeet`> tomreyn: so was it the repo?
[18:19] <hyperknot> ioria: and what is the successor
[18:19] <tomreyn> maxLeet`: yes
[18:19] <ioria> hyperknot,  systemd units
[18:25] <tomreyn> hyperknot: you can set it as a kernel parameter in /etc/default/grub , adding to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[18:26] <hyperknot> tomreyn: but that'd require changing grub, etc. not really safe. I'd prefer a simple echo > never solution
[18:27] <tomreyn> hyperknot: no this doesn't change grub, just its configuration file, next time one is generated. and those are generated on every kernel update.
[18:27] <tomreyn> but either should work.
[18:28] <ioria> hyperknot, in any case; http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/systemd-rc-local-generator.8.html
[18:30] <tomreyn> i'd say a nearly as good approach as using the kernel option would be https://askubuntu.com/questions/597372/how-do-i-modify-sys-kernel-mm-transparent-hugepage-enabled/610707#820116
[18:31] <tomreyn> dont reintroduce rc-.local if you dont have to
[18:32] <hyperknot> thanks a lot, O
[18:32] <hyperknot> I'll look into is now I have to go
[18:32] <hyperknot> it
[18:44] <Lost_Goat> ive got an ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Desktop that cant ping either dns or ip addresses and not sure why. Ive got my pihole dns docker running just fine and everything else can access the internet
[18:44] <Lost_Goat> any ideas ?
[18:44] <maeud> what happens when you try to ping?
[18:44] <maeud> have you verified networking?
[18:45] <maeud> done a reboot?
[18:45] <Lost_Goat> networking is fine cause i can remotely access the box via ssh
[18:45] <Lost_Goat> im on it right now
[18:46] <maeud> so you can get in but certain traffic can't get out..
[18:46] <maeud> iptables/firewalld etc?
[18:46] <maeud> ufw
[18:46] <Lost_Goat> ufw
[18:46] <Lost_Goat> ufw allows ports
[18:46] <maeud> what ports
[18:47] <Lost_Goat> 22,53,80,443,3012,8080,8118,9000,32400
[18:48] <Lost_Goat> action allowing in from anywhere
[18:49] <maeud> try temp disabling ufw, run a dns lookup and ping
[18:49] <maeud> if it works, turn it back on
[18:49] <mio> ciao
[18:50] <hans_> i want to host a socks5 proxy, any suggestions for server software?
[18:50] <mio> film
[18:50] <mio> ciao
[18:51] <Lost_Goat> cant ping or do lookup
[18:52] <maksim> how do i disable iommu completely?
[18:52] <maeud> where does a trace route get stuck Lost_Goat ?
[18:53] <budman> Hey Guys, im trying to install ubuntu server 18.04 (or 18.10) nether ISOs are giving me the HWE kernel option, what am I missing? or doing wrong? my perc h740p drive is not being seen and I think i need the HWE kernel
[18:53] <maeud> budman, the alternative ISO has it
[18:53] <budman> maeud, thanks for the reply, let me search for the alernative ISO
[18:54] <maeud> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[18:54] <Lost_Goat> maeud, the system doesnt have traceroute installed apparently
[18:54] <genii> maksim: Usually in the BIOS of your computer
[18:54] <OerHeks> budman, none of the iso's give that option, one needs to do that manually
[18:55] <budman> OerKeks? what do you mean? manually how?
[18:55] <genii> tracepath is the default in *ubuntu, traceroute however can also be installed
[18:55] <OerHeks> see the wiki
[18:55] <maksim> genii, does this mean it's off or that something else is happening? http://dpaste.com/26JBVQP
[18:55] <maksim> genii, i've disabled in the bios
[18:55] <hans_> maksim, install TempleOS?
[18:55] <maksim> but it doesn't seem to have the effect i expect
[18:55] <maksim> i'm trying to resolve this issue https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/1637#issuecomment-338268158
[18:56] <genii> maksim: Apparently putting kernel option of iommu=soft works for some, a quick search informs me
[18:56] <budman> Alternative Ubuntu Server installer - takes me to the same ISO page that I downloaded currently. I see all these screen shots where people just select HWE in the install drop downs.
[18:57] <hans_> maksim, what do you get for cat /etc/default/grub | pastebinit ;   ?
[18:57] <maksim> genii, it does not work for me
[18:57] <maksim> i've tried it
[18:57] <maksim> it simply slows my system down to a crawl
[18:57] <Lost_Goat> maeud, the system doesnt have traceroute installed apparently
[18:57] <OerHeks> budman, show us please, never seen that before
[18:58] <budman> OerHeks: Heres one example https://d.pr/free/i/XmESJi
[18:58] <genii> Lost_Goat: tracepath is the default in *ubuntu, traceroute however can also be installed
[18:58] <maksim> hans_, i do not in fact have that kernel flag in my grub
[18:58] <OerHeks> likely it was not an ubuntu but a fork
[18:58] <budman> and one more example @oerheks
[18:58] <budman> https://d.pr/free/i/6UZ9H8
[18:58] <Lost_Goat> genli, got it
[18:59] <Lost_Goat> tratra
[18:59] <budman> okay, the wiki page i read/have doesnt show 18.04, can you link/point me in a little more direction if possible @oerheks?
[18:59] <budman> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[18:59] <hans_> maksim, and when you disable it, your system gets super slow?
[18:59] <Lost_Goat> tracepath is not able to find name or service not known
[19:00] <OerHeks> budman, never noticed that hwe on server, new to me
[19:01] <budman> these were just from my googling etc.. of trying to find how to enable/get HWE on 18.04 or 18.10
[19:01] <maksim> hans_, that's correct
[19:01] <budman> I dont see that when I attempt to install it, it was just a post from someone else online.
[19:02] <OerHeks> budman, use the server and put a desktop on it?
[19:02] <OerHeks> or regular iso and enable hwe after install?
[19:02] <budman> I need HWE to install, its not seeing my storage card without the HWE kernel
[19:03] <OerHeks> hwe on 18.04 gives the 18.10 kernel ..
[19:03] <budman> I might be asking wrong.
[19:04] <budman> Im trying to install ubuntu server with HWE kernel. I  need it for my h740p raid card drivers so the ubuntu installer can see the storage device. Does anyone know how I can enable or install with the HWE kernel?
[19:05] <EriC^^> !hwe | budman
[19:05] <budman> ubottu, I linked that wiki earlier, since that wiki doesnt mention 18.04 or 18.10 are you saying I need to use 16.04?
[19:05] <budman> ahh :)
[19:06] <Auggies> I do not believe he is saying that
[19:06] <Auggies> Sorry that was unhelpful lol
[19:06] <EriC^^> budman: try perhaps "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04"
[19:06] <hans_> maksim, what happens if you change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft nokaslr nopti norepotline nospectre_v1 nospectre_v2 nospec_store_bypass_disable" and run sudo sh -c "echo kernel.randomize_va_space = 0
[19:06] <hans_>  > /etc/sysctl.d/01-disable-aslr.conf" and run sudo update-grub (or was it sudo grub-update ?) and reboot?
[19:07] <budman> maybe i have to install 16.04 with HWE? then upgrade to 18.04 manually?
[19:07] <EriC^^> budman: no
[19:07] <budman> Eric, this is a fresh server, there is no operating system to apt-get anything
[19:07] <hans_> err, i mean, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[19:08] <genii> budman: HWE is when later kernels are ported to earlier LTS releases. 18.04 may not be old enough yet to warrant kernel backports from 18.10 or the upcoming 19.04
[19:08] <OerHeks> this posts says the h740p is supported from kernel 4.13 and up ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1012131/16-04-4-kernel-not-supporting-perc-h740p-raid-controller-even-though-17-10-does
[19:08] <OerHeks> so why does 18.04 not see your controller?
[19:08] <EriC^^> !info linux-generic-hwe-18.04 bionic
[19:08] <hans_> maksim, (but don't do that if you're a VM hypervisor running untrusted code..)
[19:08] <genii> !info linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04
[19:09] <budman> thats what we are trying to find out, maybe its on too new of firmware? dell suggested HWE kernel.
[19:09] <genii> Hm
[19:09] <budman> There was another user that posted, and same issue, said HWE kernel fixed it for him. https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeServer/comments/8rf2zb/ubuntu_on_r710/
[19:11] <budman> Everyone just keeps saying try the HWE option for 18.04 or 18.10 but I just dont ever get that option. I am currently checking with my L3 support team and was suggested that, when installing the 18.04 try the LTSEnablementStack/HWE kernel option and check if that goes through.
[19:11] <Lost_Goat> what service down ubuntu 18.04 use for managing dns / nslookup and such
[19:11] <budman> That last part was from dell.
[19:12] <EriC^^> budman: maybe they mean to download 18.04.1 (if that's out?)
[19:12] <EriC^^> budman: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04.1/
[19:12] <budman> ubuntu-<IP_ADDRESS>-live-server-amd64.iso
[19:12] <budman> yea thats what im trying now.
[19:12] <hans_> all you need to upgrade 18.04 to 18.04.1 is to run `apt update;apt dist-upgrade;`
[19:12] <EriC^^> although it seems to ship with 4.15.0-29-generic
[19:13] <EriC^^> the hwe is 4.18
[19:13] <budman> I cant upgrade, cause its a fresh server no install, it cant install cause it cant see the virtual drive from the h740p card.
[19:13] <hans_> does canonical's livepatch~  support HWE?
[19:13] <OerHeks> hans_, yes
[19:13] <EriC^^> budman: i guess you either need to make a custom live cd with a newer kernel, or install 18.10
[19:13] <budman> I would have to add an extra SSD, just install on there, then manually upgrade. but seems like other people just get the HWE option when they install.
[19:14] <hans_> dang, +1 for efforts
[19:14] <EriC^^> budman: what happens when you boot 18.04.1?
[19:14] <EriC^^> (the installer)
[19:15] <budman> gets all they way to the paritions/drive step. and nothing to select
[19:15] <EriC^^> did you try booting a 18.10 iso and see how that behaveS?
[19:16] <OerHeks> maybe you need the live server to setup your raid
[19:16] <budman> working on that, I did locally put 18.10 on and with a local machine here, not see any HWE option. Trying to get it on our cobbler server so I can PXE it and see.
[19:17] <budman> Im using the live-server-iso. or is there a seperate live-cd-server or something.
[19:18] <hans_> budman, btw have you tried https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-9.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso  ?
[19:18] <budman> I have not.
[19:19] <hans_> could give it a shot (but it will install debian if it works, not ubuntu)
[19:19] <budman> What is this firmware-netinstall? and thanks for all the replies/help everyone. appreciate it.
[19:19] <hans_> it includes a lot of closed-source proprietary blah blah drivers n stuff that debian doesn't officially want to ship in their installer - but an unofficial installer is maintained with those
[19:20] <OerHeks> why would he need that to install ubuntu?
[19:20] <OerHeks> i think he needs to setup raid, and 18.04 should support that 740
[19:20] <budman> he was saying to jump ship i think ha.
[19:21] <budman> The raid is setup, fully we have many of these dell servers and perc cards/raids. This server is the newest with the first h740p. Theres just something off. Dell confirmed we had the lastest firmware, and correct virtual drive setup.
[19:21] <hans_> i thought you had problems installing ubuntu on a system because of missing drivers or whatever, and trying to see if the HWE kernel had appropriate drivers, guess i didn't follow the conversation closely enough
[19:22] <budman> Im just trying to install ubuntu with the HWE kernel ha
[19:22] <hans_> oh kk
[19:22] <budman> which sounds like 18.10 might do that better then 18.04
[19:23] <siloxid> I have a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04 for cuda. when I log in, the screen only shows the desktop image and the mouse. /etc/X11/xorg.conf is missing. any ideas?
[19:24] <budman> I cant find the HWE option with 18.04 install, I couldnt find the HWE option with 18.10 locally.
[19:24] <OerHeks> 18.10 does not give hwe, until 19.04 is released?
[19:24] <Lost_Goat> where do i go to set dns info for 18.04 since network manager overwrites resolv.conf?
[19:25] <teward> OerHeks: thought interim releases didn't get HWE
[19:25] <teward> becasue only 9 months of support
[19:25] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, on Ubuntu Desktop? In Network Manager, for your connection.
[19:26] <OerHeks> teward, ah, that could be it too, thx
[19:26] <teward> OerHeks: as I understand HWE that's a LTS only thing, not an interim-release thing.
[19:26] <teward> so they'd have to upgrade to 19.04 for newer software/kernel, etc. and don't get HWE kernels
[19:26] <teward> don't quote me on that, but that's how I"ve understood it
[19:27] <Lost_Goat> lordcirth_, is there a network manager config file ?
[19:27] <budman> Seems like the best option unfortunately would be to use the server 16.04 install with the HWE option.. then jump/upgrade the server a few times? unless im missing something, or can add an extra drive to install the OS seperately from the raid, and enable the HWE kernel after?
[19:27] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, there is, but it's intended to be used through the graphical interface
[19:29] <EriC^^> budman: 16.04.5 will give you 4.15, literally the same kernel as 18.04.1
[19:29] <budman> but with the HWE kernel option right? https://d.pr/free/i/WkPXHy
[19:29] <EriC^^> budman: hwe just means that it has a newer kernel from another newer ubuntu, that's all
[19:29] <EriC^^> budman: 16.04.5 comes with the hwe by default
[19:29] <teward> OerHeks: or if they're 18.04 they should be able to get the HWE from .2 if they need something even newer, but not sure when that actually releases :P
[19:29] <siloxid> where can I find the post-login graphical and other error logs?
[19:30] <EriC^^> http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.5/ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-amd64.manifest
[19:30] <EriC^^> budman: ^
[19:30] <Lost_Goat> lordcirth_,  ive currently only have access through shell so i need to if there is a spot where i can modify it using a text editor
[19:31] <budman> might give that debian-netinstall a try ha. thanks eric. Ill give it a try
[19:32] <budman> be nice to use 18.XX with HWE but if its not an option from install (only after install) im stuck there.
[19:32] <EriC^^> budman: if the 4.18 is what you need then try 18.1
[19:32] <EriC^^> *18.10
[19:33] <EriC^^> budman: or else you can make a custom install of 18.04 with the 4.18 kernel
[19:33] <EriC^^> !customlivecd | budman
[19:36] <budman> k ill work on these and see what I can do.
[19:37] <eusid> what would you guys say is the fastest/easiest way to setup a http/https proxy server on ubuntu 18.04 -- i've tried squid and can't get it to accept any connections. I've also asked for troubleshooting in squid. I thought maybe you would have a better/easier idea in here?
[19:38] <eusid> I just need a temporary server to verify a device from a server then I can get rid of it
[19:40] <hans_> eusid, try https://www.binarytides.com/setup-dante-socks5-server-on-ubuntu/
[19:40] <_KaszpiR_> eusid nginx
[19:40] <hans_> _KaszpiR_, nginx is often used as a reverse proxy, but.. using nginx as a normal proxy?
[19:41] <_KaszpiR_> yep
[19:41] <eusid> this particular server has a bunch of virtual hosts already in nginx -- it'd be nice to use if i can use it without intefering with any of my dns records
[19:41] <_KaszpiR_> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46060028/how-to-use-nginx-as-forward-proxy-for-any-requested-location
[19:42] <_KaszpiR_> for https is is more complex but still doable
[19:43] <eusid> Yeah I need HTTPS
[19:43] <eusid> and also it must be authenticated via IP auth
[19:43] <eusid> since I know the mess of trying to use api keys and logins with selenium
[19:43] <eusid> u have to make yet another reverse proxy to add in the headers
[19:43] <eusid> so ip auth is the way for this imo
[19:44] <_KaszpiR_> or tinyproxy
[19:44] <eusid> I'm getting a lot more responses here than in squid. Squid seemed simple enough but wont accept any connections
[19:44] <eusid> im looking at tiny proxy also
[19:45] <_KaszpiR_> squid by default does not accept connections AFAIR
[19:45] <_KaszpiR_> https://superuser.com/questions/604352/nginx-as-forward-proxy-for-https
[19:45] <hans_> eusid, only accepting a single ip is easy with dante, juset set `from: <IP_ADDRESS> to: <IP_ADDRESS>` in the config
[19:46] <zetheroo> sometimes when waking from sleep/suspend the GUI is all wonky - how can I reload Gnome Shell without rebooting?
[19:46] <zetheroo> or how can I troubleshoot this?
[19:51] <eusid> this is how far i got with dante https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qwc95qG9T6/
[19:51] <eusid> problem is this server is used as a backup server for a bunch of websites so i have no idea what types of configurations could be present
[19:52] <hans_> eusid, 16.04?
[19:52] <eusid> 18.04
[19:52] <hans_> pastebinit your config
[19:52] <zetheroo> Nevermind, I found the solution - Alt + F2 type 'r' and press Enter
[19:52] <eusid> the danteconfig?
[19:52] <hans_> y
[19:52] <eusid> i've done nothing to the dante config one second
[19:53] <eusid> after apt install it failed to start the daemon
[19:56] <eusid> https://pastebin.com/DjdvjuyX
[19:58] <eusid> thanks for the help btw
[19:59] <eusid> ahh i see dante is no logner maintaining its repos
[19:59] <eusid> potential issue there
[19:59] <eusid> i see why you wanted to know if i was on 16.04
[20:00] <Lost_Goat> does anyone have a good guide for installing a docker pihole container and getting it to work ubuntu ? I cant seem to get anything to work properly
[20:02] <nightshift> How can I submit a correction to wiki information? (I don't have an account to simply make the change myself)
[20:10] <eusid> if you guys like psychill u can enjoy the stream i made for personal use that other people ended up using http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8000/psybient.mp3
[20:10] <eusid> or to load in your playlist http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8000/psybient.mp3.m3u
[20:10] <OerHeks> eusid, wrong channel for that, support only
[20:11] <eusid> lol im here for support
[20:11] <eusid> i make no money from this -- its for enjoyment
[20:11] <eusid> if u got a problem with enjoyment you can just ban me
[20:11] <eusid> besides i'll figure it out on my own faster than any of you down syndromes will give me help
[20:12] <eusid> its not a self plug
[20:12] <OerHeks> thank you for visiting the support channel
[20:13] <eusid> gotta love these people who have admin in places and ride their high horses around
[20:14] <eusid> irc is dead as hell. free node is the only thing that still has anybody in it and its dying too. wonder why
[20:15] <eusid> whats funny to is i idle in these so called support channels and days go by without anybody getting any support
[20:15] <ioria> eusid, that's unfair
[20:17] <eusid> time to go arch maybe ?
[20:17] <leftyfb> eusid: there's no need to be downright disrepectful and ignorant. You are welcome to /part at any time
[20:17] <poseid> hi... i get warnings about free disk space... but i can't make sense of my parititons with fdisk -l
[20:17] <leftyfb> poseid: df -h
[20:18] <leftyfb> poseid: try installing and running ncdu
[20:18] <eusid> i offer something free for the enjoyment of anybody and i get snapped at like im selling something
[20:18] <leftyfb> eusid: It is against the channel guidelines and is completely off topic. You were told once. Just apologize and move on.
[20:18] <poseid> this is the output of fdisk -l
[20:18] <poseid> https://pastebin.com/b89vNLas
[20:19] <eusid> no apologies when one isnt warranted
[20:19] <leftyfb> poseid: try installing and running ncdu. fdisk isn't going to help you in determining what is taking up space.
[20:19] <eusid> if i did something wrong i'd apologize
[20:19] <OerHeks> eusid, please stop your rant
[20:19] <hans_> eusid, when you run `ip address`, what is the name of your network device?
[20:19] <leftyfb> eusid: feel free to continue the discussion at #ubuntu-ops. This is a support channel.
[20:20] <ioria> poseid,   df -h  please
[20:20] <poseid> ok, running ncdu... looks nice
[20:21] <leftyfb> poseid: you might want: sudo ncdu /
[20:21] <OerHeks> the efi partition is not at the beginning of the disk, and microsoft already made one/?
[20:21] <poseid> leftydb: https://pastebin.com/b1ZcRzjR
[20:21] <hans_> eusid, (or if there's nothing sensitive in the output, just run `ip address | pastebinit`)
[20:22] <leftyfb> poseid: your root is out of space. Look through ncdu to determine where all the space is taken up
[20:22] <eusid> hans_ not sure how i'd know if there is anything sensitive. this is not my server its a backup server for a large company.
[20:22] <eusid> https://pastebin.com/X3F0cZfr
[20:22] <ioria> poseid,   not good
[20:22] <poseid> for some reason, i think the paritioning went wrong on my last ubuntu install
[20:22] <maksim> hans_, that's a lot of kernel modes
[20:22] <maksim> *mods
[20:23] <ioria> poseid,   /boot looks fine; do is hom or /usr
[20:23] <hans_> eusid, that server has multiple ip addresses, which address do you want to have a proxy on? <IP_ADDRESS>? <IP_ADDRESS>? <IP_ADDRESS>? something else?
[20:23] <poseid> i should have a hdd of 500 gb, now i am hitting space problems with maybe 20 gb...
[20:24] <hans_> maksim, and with a bit of luck, it's 1 of those that makes your system super slow without iommu, and disabling them makes the system run fast again
[20:24] <poseid> what is this entry /dev/sda4  122685440 976773119 854087680 407,3G Microsoft basic data
[20:24] <eusid> hans_: I just dont watn to interfere with the nginx virtualhosts is my main concern
[20:25] <leftyfb> hans_: boot a live cd/usb and use gparted to resize your 50G partition
[20:25] <leftyfb> sorry, poseid ^
[20:25] <tomreyn> poseid: sda1 and sda4 are windows partitions, not used by ubuntu
[20:25] <leftyfb> poseid: you made it 50G, not 500G
[20:26] <eusid> hans_: this is the public IP i want to connect <IP_ADDRESS>, the local ip does not matter I assume as long as its not conflicting
[20:27] <poseid> yes.... feel like i missed something...
[20:27] <shiroininja> I've been getting an error when running a python snap package created by me, it's saying 'can't find qtwebengine process' when build in devmode
[20:27] <poseid> the laptop is only for linux (btw, my wife just told me the laptop would be nice for her too...)
[20:27] <ioria> poseid, ans swap is big
[20:28] <leftyfb> poseid: : boot a live cd/usb and use gparted to resize your 50G partition
[20:28] <poseid> ok, maybe this is the way to go... backup all of my 50 gb stuff
[20:28] <poseid> and re-install all
[20:28] <hans_> eusid, uhh.. the server is connected to multiple LAN's but not directly connected to the internet, first you need to figure out which LAN is forwarding global ip <IP_ADDRESS> to your server, that should be simple. but if it's the <IP_ADDRESS> LAN that is forwarded to your server, then save this to /etc/dated.conf : http://paste.debian.net/1067873/ - then you should have a SOCKS5 proxy running on port 1080, provided that port 1080 is also forwarded
[20:28] <hans_> (which it probably isn't)
[20:29] <hans_> eusid, (it's the `external: lxcbr0` line you need to change if it's the wrong lan)
[20:29] <leftyfb> poseid: Or boot a live cd/usb and use gparted to resize your 50G partition
[20:29] <maksim> hans_, the sh commaned isn't complete is it?
[20:29] <poseid> ok, maybe i can try that first
[20:30] <maksim> sudo sh -c "echo kernel.randomize_va_space = 0
[20:30] <hans_> maksim, no, it's not, check the next line, had a newline there by accident and my irc client is stupid
[20:30] <eusid> hans_: okay thanks for the information. i figured they had a lot of stuff setup on here that was preventing this from working properly.
[20:31] <eusid> hans_ : thanks for taking the time to help me with my networking knowledge. linux is forcing me to get better at networking.
[20:32] <poseid> now there is the space ... /dev/sda4       401G   20G  381G   5% /mnt/user_spc
[20:32] <maksim> hans_, thanks will do
[20:32] <poseid> could i mount that partition during boot
[20:32] <maksim> and report back
[20:32] <poseid> and have my user home there?
[20:33] <ioria> poseid,  you need to remove stuff in $Home or uninstall some apps
[20:33] <hans_> maksim, good luck, the point is to restore performance, nothing else, so if that doesn't happen, feel free to remove it again. but after the reboot, run `cat /proc/cmdline`, what do you get?
[20:34] <poseid> what about having home mounted on sda4 instead of the current small partition?
[20:35] <ioria> sda4 is windows
[20:35] <poseid> how would i reformat it to linux ... i think the drive is windows by mistake
[20:35] <poseid> this machine is 100% linux
[20:36] <hans_> don't mount /home on a ntfs partition, that's asking for trouble :P
[20:36] <ioria> no, it's not
[20:36] <poseid> the partitioning is always a confusing part when i install windows... not sure why i got ntfs / or installer thought it would be
[20:37] <poseid> s/install windows/install linux/
[20:38] <ioria> poseid,  if you don't need win, just reinstall linux (erase drive)
[20:38] <hans_> no need to reinstall linux if your only problem is an extra unwanted ntfs partition or 2
[20:38] <hans_> tried gparted?
[20:39] <ioria> hans_, for whats ? parts are not not contigous
[20:40] <eusid> hans_: so now the proxy is accepting connection but I'm getting secure connection failed in my browser
[20:40] <hans_> ioria, for deleting the windows paritions, and resizing the linux partitions to recover the space?
[20:40] <eusid> think i may need to turn of username
[20:41] <eusid> for anonymous access will let you know if it works
[20:41] <ioria> hans_,  we dk if he needs windows
[20:41] <qwebirc63078> Anyone here familiar enough with Bind to assist with a problem that I'm having with forwarding requests from my Ubuntu DNS server to a pair of pre-existing DNS servers?
[20:41] <hans_> ioria, https://i.imgur.com/rkDcTC5.png
[20:42] <hans_> eusid, gratz, are you using firefox?
[20:42] <eusid> hans_: for https the connection is insecure and for other sites the connection was reset
[20:42] <eusid> yes its firefox
[20:42] <ioria> hans_,  that's crearly wrong
[20:43] <hans_> eusid, remove your own custom proxy settings from firefox and install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/ and set up the SOCKS5 proxy from FoxyProxy , see if that makes a difference
[20:43] <eusid> so at least the proxy is accepting requests
[20:43] <eusid> let me try that
[20:43] <poseid> yes... the story goes, this machine 100% linux crashed, i re-installed linux, and the user space partition went wrong...
[20:44] <hans_> poseid, do you have anything important and un-backuped on the system now?
[20:44] <poseid> now i was running linux and user space on a small partition but for some reason the ntfs is not detected correctly
[20:44] <poseid> most stuff has backups
[20:45] <poseid> probably only some dotfiles which i could easily put on my usb drive
[20:46] <hans_> eusid, change the configuration to "socksmethod: none" and run "sudo service danted restart" - it's insecure and makes it practically an open proxy, but i suggest you get it working first then you can change it back
[20:46] <hans_> i g2g afk
[20:47] <eusid> hans_: this only needs to work for 10 minutes so i'll just disable it after
[20:49] <eusid> hans_: foxy proxy has me back to refusing connections
[20:50] <eusid> hans_:socks method already changed to none that was the first thing i did because i wanted it open to all
[20:53] <Sven_vB> my syslog is flooded with "vnstatd[…]: Error: Downgrading database "/var/lib/vnstat/…" (v1196314761) is not supported." any ideas how to fix? https://paste.debian.net/plainh/a9339210

[20:56] <hans_> eusid, PM?
[20:57] <leftyfb> hans_: Please keep support here in the channel.
[20:57] <Sven_vB> current vnStat is v2.1. can't find a PPA though. :(
[21:02] <bpords> hey guys
[21:06] <urxtwin> I remember joining this chat 5-8 years ago and it as very active. What is the reason it's so quiet? Have people stopped asking for help? Is it easier to find stuff online? Is it that most driver issues have been resolved and those used to be the main thing that broke/didn't work?
[21:06] <Sven_vB> I'll just uninstall it, don't need it on that machine anyway.
[21:07] <t-ask> Hi, how can I bootstrap an Ubuntu Server 18.04 server via systemd-nspawn? Which is the <repo> to use with `debootstrap --include=systemd-container myContainer <ubuntu-server-repo>`?
[21:07] <Sven_vB> urxtwin, I see people asking often, and I also ask my own questions. if you need solid data, you could try analyzing the channel logs.
[21:08] <urxtwin> Sven_vB, yeah but it used to be at least 2 questions per second
[21:09] <Sven_vB> t-ask, try http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu as the repo
[21:10] <Sven_vB> urxtwin, maybe the ubuntu stackoverflow has become better then :)
[21:11] <Sven_vB> t-ask, if you want to save traffic, consider setting up a local mirror with debmirror.
[21:15] <t-ask> Sven_vB: OK which codename has this ubuntu server edition?
[21:17] <OerHeks> 18.04 bionic
[21:19] <t-ask> OerHeks: thanks. was looking for it on their website
[21:24] <t-ask> Something is missing "Couldn't find these debs: systemd-container". Doesn't have the Ubuntu Server systemd?
[21:29] <GunArm> is there any more modern way to block big maintained lists of malicious IPs, now that ipblock seems to be totally dead?
[21:32] <t-ask> GunArm: ipset
[21:37] <marlinc> Is there way to get notified when a new release comes out for a source package? I'd like to start the build of a nginx module when a new version gets released
[21:37] <GunArm> t-ask: thanks, this looks like the kind of thing that ipblock was (probably) a wrapper for? do you have any fav tutorials or sets of administrative scripts for using it?
[21:38] <winter_snow> hi
[21:38] <murthy> marlinc: you mean from launchpad or from git?
[21:38] <murthy> winter_snow: hi
[21:38] <winter_snow> i love lubuntu
[21:38] <murthy> winter_snow: me too
[21:39] <winter_snow> crazy
[21:39] <marlinc> From Launchpad murthy, I'd liek to know when a new nginx version gets pushed into the Ubuntu repo's
[21:39] <marlinc> For particular series
[21:41] <murthy> marlinc: did you check if there is any subscription to mailing list link?
[21:42] <murthy> marlinc: If there is no option you could use google alerts to get a mail notification for a particular keywords
[21:45] <t-ask> GunArm: you add IPs to a set an then block it with `iptables -I INPUT -m set --match-set myset src -j DROP` eg.
[21:48] <Sven_vB> t-ask, could it be that systemd-container is provided by package systemd?
[21:50] <Sven_vB> t-ask, if in doubt, try installing the package later inside the container.
[21:56] <quazimodo> hi
[21:56] <quazimodo> i'm on 16.04, does it make sense that bind9 and dnsmasq are both running?
[21:58] <Lost_Goat> anyone ever have issues with 18.04.1 with changing ip address and dns not being able to work ?
[21:58] <compdoc> Lost_Goat, you changed the address?
[21:59] <Lost_Goat> yes i set a static ip address instead of dhcp
[21:59] <Lost_Goat> as soon as i did that dns no longer works
[21:59] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, since by default the DNS address is set by DHCP, this seems normal
[21:59] <lordcirth_> Set your DNS in network manager
[21:59] <Lost_Goat> i did eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[21:59] <Lost_Goat> sorry
[22:00] <Lost_Goat> i set it through the gui
[22:00] <Lost_Goat> i cant connect to the web or update apt or anything
[22:00] <Lost_Goat> it times out
[22:00] <quazimodo> meep morp
[22:02] <tomreyn> Lost_Goat: maybe your router wont allow traffic from an ip address it didn't provide a dhcp lease to
[22:02] <Lost_Goat> I never had this problem before i have always set it as a static ip address
[22:02] <Lost_Goat> its something with ubuntu
[22:03] <tomreyn> how about you switch back to dhcp for now, update everything, reboot, switch back to static?
[22:03] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, what DNS address did you set? Can you ping it?
[22:03] <Lost_Goat> when i do a cat /etc/resolv.conf the nameserver is set to <IP_ADDRESS> but in the gui it says <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:03] <Lost_Goat> lordcirth_, it times out
[22:03] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, well then that's probably a problem with your networking, not DNS
[22:04] <lordcirth_> When you set the static IP, did you get the correct netmask and gateway?
[22:04] <Lost_Goat> why would the nameserver = <IP_ADDRESS> that would be a local ip address
[22:04] <Lost_Goat> not a dns server
[22:04] <tomreyn> that's standard, systemd-resolved
[22:04] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, because you have a local dns caching daemon. That's normal
[22:04] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, systemd-resolved --status
[22:05] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, systemd-resolve --status, sorry
[22:05] <tomreyn> are you able to ping <IP_ADDRESS>?

[22:08] <Lost_Goat> https://ghostbin.com/paste/q95cf
[22:09] <Lost_Goat> ok how do i fix the system then ?
[22:10] <Lost_Goat> it always times out
[22:10] <Lost_Goat> i think there is a bug in 18.04.1
[22:10] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, I don't think you have a DNS problem. You made a mistake somewhere when changing to a static IP.
[22:11] <lordcirth_> Is your gateway set correctly?
[22:11] <sy11ab3ar> anyone here?
[22:11] <lordcirth_> sy11ab3ar, yes
[22:11] <horus125> I know it's a little of topic but could sb help me with extundelete because I can't see anything even the most recently removed files
[22:12] <sy11ab3ar> sup?
[22:12] <horus125> sy11ab3ar: not good :c
[22:13] <sy11ab3ar> trying to retrieve files?
[22:13] <horus125> yeah
[22:14] <horus125> the problem isnt that I can't retrieve a specific file but that I can't retrieve anything at all
[22:14] <Lost_Goat> the gateway is correct
[22:14] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, can you ping the gateway?
[22:14] <Lost_Goat> no cause it cant resolve
[22:14] <lordcirth_> horus125, so, when you run 'extundelete /dev/sdxy --restore-all' it produces no files?
[22:14] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, gateways don't need DNS, what do you mean?
[22:15] <horus125> lordcirth_: no
[22:15] <lordcirth_> Your gateway needs to be the IP address of your router
[22:15] <sy11ab3ar> horus125, is your drive unmounted?
[22:15] <horus125> sy11ab3ar: yes
[22:16] <sy11ab3ar> trying lordcirth sample, it doesn't return anything?
[22:16] <Lost_Goat> finally fixed the stupid thing, i changed the ip address again and now it works
[22:17] <Lost_Goat> apparently it doenst like the same old ip it had before
[22:17] <Lost_Goat> these are both static not dhcp
[22:17] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, what was the old IP?
[22:17] <Lost_Goat> <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:17] <Lost_Goat> that was the first static ip i set
[22:17] <lordcirth_> And you changed it to what?
[22:18] <Lost_Goat> then i changed it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:18] <Lost_Goat> same gateway same dns
[22:18] <lordcirth_> And you're on a /24? odd
[22:18] <Lost_Goat> yea
[22:20] <tomreyn> horus125: how (method) were the files deleted?
[22:21] <horus125> sy11ab3ar: it returns this https://pastebin.com/XfNN1zP7
[22:21] <Lost_Goat> one other thing i need help with. I need to automatically mount an ntfs drive when the system boots i tired with fstab is there any easier way
[22:21] <horus125> tomreyn: via terminal rm command
[22:21] <Lost_Goat> i can go through the gui and click on other locations to mount but it wont mount when booting up
[22:21] <tomreyn> horus125: how long was the file system mounted after the deletion took place?
[22:21] <quazimodo> ok new question
[22:22] <tomreyn> horus125: look also into ext4magic
[22:22] <quazimodo> does 16.04 need bind9 running to have working dns lookups
[22:22] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, did fstab not work?
[22:22] <quazimodo> because when i turn it off I can't connect to anything
[22:22] <lordcirth_> quazimodo, bind9 is not installed by default on Ubuntu
[22:22] <horus125> tomreyn: max one hour, I'll look into it thanks
[22:23] <tomreyn> horus125: is this your /home partition, or / ?
[22:23] <lordcirth_> horus125, there's also PhotoRec
[22:23] <Lost_Goat> lordcirth_, when i tried last time the drive didnt mount and i couldn't click on it in other locations
[22:23] <tomreyn> s/partition/file system/
[22:23] <lordcirth_> Which, despite the name, works on things other than photos
[22:23] <lordcirth_> Lost_Goat, and what did the logs say?
[22:23] <horus125> tomreyn: root partition
[22:24] <Lost_Goat> lordcirth_, who knows now i resintalled the os after everything broke
[22:24] <tomreyn> hmm ok
[22:26] <horus125> thanks everybody Im going to try those other programs and see if it can find anything
[22:30] <quazimodo> lordcirth_: so this means that somehow I've added bind9 at some point & made my computer unable to work properly when it's gone
[22:31] <lordcirth_> quazimodo, correct. But you could install dnsmasq and it would probably work too. Why do you need to remove bind9?
[22:31] <horus125> tomreyn: ext4magic works, you just saved my save from colossal-cave-adventure, thanks!!!
[22:31] <horus125> must have been a problem with extundelete
[22:32] <tomreyn> horus125: backups also work ;-)
[22:32] <tomreyn> glad i could help
[22:33] <quazimodo> lordcirth_: well actually i'm just trying to do 1 thing, set up a _simple_ private DNS on this ubuntu laptop, for dev purposes
[22:33] <quazimodo> for example, so that I can specify this machine's local ip as the DNS server on my mobile device to test some apps in development
[22:34] <quazimodo> it appears that bind9 and dnsmasq both can do this, but for some reason (forgotten past experiments) both of these were installed.
[22:35] <quazimodo> I turned off dnsmasq with NetworkManager & removed it, now i'd like to remove BIND if at all possible & get the system to a fresh state. But for some reason NetworkManager now isn't setting resolv.conf via resolvconf
[22:35] <quazimodo> life's weird man
[22:39] <lenarhoyt> Hi. I cannot seem to be finding the package "virtualbox-fuse".
[22:45] <Bashing-om> !info virtualbox-fuse bionic | lenarhoyt
[22:46] <OerHeks> . Since virtualbox-fuse and vdfuse is no longer available in Ubuntu (not since precise (12.04)) and Debian (not since Wheezy (7))
[22:47] <OerHeks> maybe in the oracle version , full ?
[22:49] <lenarhoyt> OerHeks: I'd have to compile it myself?
[22:49] <OerHeks> use the old precise package, not sure why you need it??
[23:02] <rfm> lenarhoyt, the vbox fuse code quit working a while ago, and nobody's maintaining it (which is probably why it was removed.)
[23:03] <rfm> lenarhoyt, so even if you built from source it probably wouldn't work
[23:04] <Gerowen> Are there any current browser that still support NPAPI plugins like Java?  Firefox apparently ditched it, as did Chrome.
[23:04] <Gerowen> I only need it for one site, my bank.  When you upload a check with their "Deposit @ Home" feature on the site, it uses a Java applet.
[23:05] <OerHeks> openJDK should do
[23:05] <OerHeks> no, npapi plugins are dead
[23:06] <OerHeks> or the oracle blob, see !java
[23:06] <OerHeks> !java
[23:17] <pragmaticenigma> Gerowen: There are no browsers support NPAPI anymore. those that do, are going to have big vulnerabilities. You might want to call your financial institution's customer service to let them know it's broken and you can't use it anymore
[23:22] <OerHeks> cryptocurrencybank :-P
[23:23] <infamy> oh lort i tried an apt called smuxi and i am in the ubuntuz
[23:23] <infamy> hello chat room
[23:23] <infamy> heuuheu
[23:23] <infamy> Oh btw.. I actually like ubuntu. More Kubuntu and Xubuntu... keep up your good work
[23:24] <infamy> ;)
[23:24] <candidat> hello
[23:24] <candidat> how do you do to mount a windows 10 hardrive to your current ubuntu ?
[23:25] <OerHeks> candidat, if that hdd is exfat, you need exfat-fuse exfat-utils
[23:25] <OerHeks> https://itsfoss.com/mount-exfat/
[23:27] <OerHeks> but if that hdd in encrypted with bitlocker, you need a lot of work to do
[23:27] <candidat> not encrypted :)
[23:28] <OerHeks> oh oke :-)
