6[00:04:20] <galvanoport> it is boring to type regularly
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin to terminal. Also when I was install
Debian 10 on my computer, it has no "/usr/bin" in the
$PATH. Then I added that to /etc/profile
63[00:39:29] <bit1> cups issue? I've sent a file.ps to a
remote server without filter (raw queue), and it works fine, but
when I configure that remote printer it fails: I get " [CGI]
Saw EOF, expected \'}\'!" . Any hint?
110[01:32:30] <whislock> The cups server is what applications
submit print jobs to. It's entirely possible that every debian
workstation would have the cups server installed, if they've
all individually configured their printers.
114[01:35:07] <bit1> whislock, oki, but I've sending my
file to my localhost which were sending to remote host. It's
easier to sent directly to remote host. Haven't I?
288[03:07:16] <whislock> subcool: Same concept as Nord, I just
don't have to pay another provider to quite possibly monitor my
traffic while promising they don't.
289[03:07:32] *** Quits: Alpha-Krill (~Alpha-Kri@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
290[03:08:13] <whislock> ksk: Your horses comment is as bizarre
as it is irrelevant, by the way.
291[03:08:14] <subcool> yeah.. still confusing. i get the secure
access to home network.
292[03:08:29] <whislock> subcool: Which you then route out to
the internet the same as your home traffic.
293[03:08:39] <whislock> It's the *exact same thing* Nord
is doing.
294[03:08:42] <subcool> but then your local ISP sees it anyways
295[03:08:44] <ksk> I am just trolling, nevermind me. You are
still using sys-v-init I suppose? ;)
296[03:08:49] <whislock> ksk: No.
297[03:08:56] <subcool> i get that, but they are IN the cloud
already.
303[03:09:27] <whislock> 1. If you're going to insecure
websites, everyone sees the traffic anyway. Doesn't matter if
you're going through Nord or not.
304[03:09:43] <whislock> 2. If you're going to secure
websites, no one can see that traffic, including your home ISP.
305[03:09:56] <subcool> kinda..
306[03:09:58] <subcool> right.
307[03:09:59] <ksk> your home ISP will however be able to see
which site you visit.
308[03:10:12] <subcool> because they have the inital key to the
certs
309[03:10:12] <whislock> ksk: Not with TLSv1.3.
310[03:10:17] <whislock> subcool: No.
311[03:10:20] <ksk> (totally valid what whislock said though)
312[03:10:36] <ksk> whislock: eh, okay? you mean they cannot see
the server name in the handshake?
313[03:10:42] <ksk> they for sure still can see the IP you
connect to
314[03:10:45] <whislock> ksk: Correct. TLSv1.3 includes
encrypted SNI.
315[03:10:48] <whislock> So?
316[03:10:52] <ksk> kk, good to know.
317[03:11:02] <whislock> Most everything goes through a CDN or
something, so the endpoint IPs for most web traffic tell you jack.
321[03:12:16] <whislock> subcool: This whole "omg, my home
isp" thing is kinda pointless. My home isp isn't my
concern. It's what connection I'm using when I'm not
at home.
339[03:14:24] <whislock> subcool: The fact that you believe that
BS is kinda sad, not going to lie.
340[03:14:38] <subcool> which part?
341[03:14:50] <valdyn> subcool is probably in a country where
the isp is obligated to disclose his identity for copyright
infringement while nordnet may not be
342[03:14:52] <whislock> That they're not going to hit you
with copyright infringement letters.
343[03:14:58] <subcool> I get notifications from my ISP about
this BS copyright shit- They turn off my internet. LIterally.
344[03:15:12] <subcool> valdyn: yea~
345[03:15:16] <whislock> You think Nord is going to take
liability for you? Good luck with that.
347[03:15:19] <nb-ben> "Internet service providers in many
countries are legally required (e.g., via Communications Assistance
for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) in the U.S.) to allow law
enforcement agencies to monitor some or all of the information
transmitted by the ISP, or even store the browsing history of users
to allow government access if needed (e.g. via the Investigatory
Powers Act 2016 in the United Kingdom)." ... and more stuff
386[03:19:38] <ksk> then we cannot tell, without additional
information.
387[03:19:42] <whislock> I have the information,.
388[03:19:54] <whislock> This was discussed way back before the
VPN rabbithole.
389[03:20:13] <nb-ben> suppose if you live in a certain
juristiction you could use a VPN to make your local authorities
unable to get information from a local ISP
390[03:20:14] <whislock> Two hosts, same LAN, this one
won't accept SSH connections, most likely because Nord added
replaced-url
404[03:23:15] <whislock> subcool: That should do the trick, but
the problem is if Nord rewrites your iptables rules again, I have no
idea what will happen.
405[03:23:41] <subcool> THanks, i appreaciate it. Ill note it.
451[03:43:10] <fx7> Hi. May you help please? I have WD My Cloud
device and as I use factory settings, I lost EXT4 partition. It
means.. The old with all data was remowed and quick formated. So
Data are not owerwritten. But the question is, how to renew EXT4
partition, or which tool to use to find lost dat.
519[04:01:35] <nyov> fx7: I would also visit any ext* FS
developer channels, they probably know best how metadata can be
recovered, if any, without superblocks
571[04:23:19] <joepublic> I was wondering earlier why anyone
would want to settle the "consolation prize" freezeland,
but then observed that the population centers are quite properly in
the southern part of same, so that makes a little more sense I
guess.
856[08:47:56] <Lope> jm_, is there an apt repo to run the
bleeding edge nut?
857[08:48:23] <jm_> Lope: unstable has the newest stuff, but I
wouldn't recommend that to you
858[08:49:21] <jm_> I would try this with nut-server package:
859[08:49:23] <jm_> !ssb
860[08:49:23] <dpkg> First, check for a backport on
<debian-backports>. If unavailable: 1) Add a deb-src line for
sid (not a deb line!); ask me about <deb-src sid> 2) enable
debian-backports (see <bdo>) 3) apt update; apt install
build-essential; apt build-dep packagename 4) apt -b source
packagename 5) dpkg -i packagename-ver.deb To change compilation
options, see <package recompile>; for versions newer than sid
see <uupdate>.
885[08:56:26] <judd> Search for nut-scanner in sid/amd64:
nut-server: bin/nut-scanner
886[08:56:43] <nvz> o.O
887[08:57:15] <Haohmaru> if i've installed 32bit debian10
(i don't drink, but i must have been drunk or something), and i
haven't done severly naughty things with it.. like.. the most
eggzotic thing i've done is installed a few programs from
backports.. synaptic doesn't show any "obsoleted"
packages ... is it a bad idea to try to "crossgrade" it to
64bit?
888[08:57:30] <Haohmaru> ..or can things still "break"
889[08:57:47] <nvz> heh
890[08:58:29] <Haohmaru> i got customizations on it that i
don't wanna redo again, otherwise i'd just install over it
891[08:58:48] <Lope> nvz, thanks bud, I've gotta sort out
internet then will be back to try get NUT working.
892[08:59:01] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1524
893[08:59:09] <Lope> But in the mean time I'll mention, I
came up with this for the ups.conf
902[09:01:07] <Lope> nvz, so did you find nut-scanner in the
buster backports?
903[09:01:12] <nvz> Haohmaru: attempting to convert a i386
install to amd64 is going to be a VERY difficult thing to do.. and
won't even be remotely possible if your kernel is 32bit
906[09:02:14] <nvz> Lope: no, its not backported.. what I didnt
get is why buster has 2.7.4-8 and sid has 2.7.4-10 which suggests
both are upstream 2.7.4 and one has nut-scanner and the other doesnt
941[09:10:33] <nvz> people act like there are just dark crevices
like
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
where they renamed their Recycle Bin, in linux..
942[09:10:35] <Haohmaru> i don't know.. all i know is that
a pile of the default settings on a debian are not very noice for
me, like mouse config, bitmap fonts (they banned by default), a few
others i forgot.. then i have also done some fancy file
associations, i don't remember if all of these things are in
/etc/
943[09:10:37] <nvz> thats not the case..
944[09:11:18] <Haohmaru> my /home/ is in a separate partition
945[09:11:55] <nvz> Haohmaru: so copy all 10 megabytes of /etc
to a 2 megabyte tar and stick it on that partition too :P
946[09:12:05] <nvz> then reinstall and don't format that
partition
947[09:12:27] <nvz> add to that a list of installed packages..
948[09:12:34] <Haohmaru> you mean like.. to copy/paste the whole
/etc afterwards?
949[09:12:42] <Haohmaru> wouldn't that mess up a lot of
things then?
950[09:12:46] <nvz> more like tar/untar but yeah..
951[09:12:58] <nvz> how the hell could it mess anything up?
972[09:16:33] <Haohmaru> okay.. so copying the whole /etc from
my 32bit installation and then pasting it onto a 64bit installation
shouldn't cause a mess?
973[09:16:57] <Haohmaru> perhaps i need to clear /etc before
pasting ;P~
974[09:17:11] <nvz> I not long ago moved my father to a
completely different system... simple.. you dpkg --get-selections or
such dump that to a file.. thats all the packages that are
installed.. you tar up /etc/, you backup /home/ then you go install
debian.. just a base even .. then migrate /home to new install, set
all the package selections, install all same packages, untar /etc/
its the same damn system
975[09:17:50] *** Quits: inhetep (~cubie@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
984[09:19:16] <nvz> Haohmaru: not required in your case
you're staying on the same system.. in your case you just have
to make sure you say "keep existing data" and don't
format that partition
996[09:21:43] <dpkg> First, check for a backport on
<debian-backports>. If unavailable: 1) Add a deb-src line for
sid (not a deb line!); ask me about <deb-src sid> 2) enable
debian-backports (see <bdo>) 3) apt update; apt install
build-essential; apt build-dep packagename 4) apt -b source
packagename 5) dpkg -i packagename-ver.deb To change compilation
options, see <package recompile>; for versions newer than sid
see <uupdate>.
1003[09:22:59] <nvz> Lope: as long as you have the backports
enabled and a deb-src line for sid and the apt cache is updated, you
need only apt build-dep nut-server and apt -b source nut-server then
dpkg -i nut-server.deb
1004[09:23:09] <Lope> nvz does that mean when there are updates
it will recompile the new versions?
1008[09:23:42] <Lope> nvz, well then it seems a lot more
complicated than just building nut from source instead of
frankensteining my sources.list?
1009[09:23:47] <nvz> Lope: you'd have to apt -b source
nut-server and dpkg -i nut-server again
1010[09:24:23] <Haohmaru> no idea how i've installed 32bit
last time, all i remember was that the debian was on btrfs, and then
the harddisk broke, and i evacuated it to ext4 (installed debian on
ext4, then iirc i rsync'ed everything from the dying hdd) .. i
guess i've put the wrong netinst iso and didn't notice it
1011[09:24:29] <nvz> Lope: its not really frankensteining.. a
deb-src line is only for source packages, backports only pulls
things when you explicitly say -t buster-backports..
1012[09:24:55] <Haohmaru> or maybe it was 32bit originally
1013[09:24:58] <nvz> Lope: and doing it with apt, you need not
know anything about the build system, it automatically fetches the
dependencies, and automatically rebuilds the deb
1014[09:25:27] <nvz> Lope: and in this case you don't even
need to enable backports
1023[09:29:02] <nvz> Lope: should be no need.. when you install
the deb that apt -b source nut-server creates, it will isntall over
top of it.. cause its going to be a higher version number
1024[09:29:07] <nvz> dpkg will see it as an upgrade
1025[09:29:07] <dpkg> bugger all, i dunno, nvz
1026[09:29:13] <nvz> dpkg: shaddup
1027[09:29:13] <dpkg> No, I won't, you shaddup, you
1033[09:34:08] <MaxFrames> I am trying to copy text from nano
running in putty terminal emulator to the clipboard, and paste it in
windows, but I am unable
1036[09:34:28] <Haohmaru> i mean, it smells familiar
1037[09:34:28] *** Quits: r1nt3c (~inerin@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1038[09:34:31] <nvz> Haohmaru: and I would imagine you know how
to tar up /etc/
1039[09:34:39] <MaxFrames> I select a multiple line text with
ctrl+6 and then ctrl+k to cut it, but when I paste it, only the
first line is pasted, dunno why
1040[09:34:44] <Haohmaru> uhm, i don't know how to tar
1041[09:34:50] <Haohmaru> i use .zip
1042[09:35:05] <nvz> !yinzersmite Haohmaru
1043[09:35:05] * dpkg pooshes Haohmaru aht da winda an yells
"chawt dahnere".
1044[09:35:20] <Lope> nvz thanks
1045[09:35:36] <Haohmaru> chawt dah-wat?
1046[09:35:38] <nvz> Haohmaru: tar cvf etc.tar /etc
1047[09:35:48] * Haohmaru grabs onto teh curtains
1048[09:36:09] <Haohmaru> is zipping it not gonna work?
1049[09:36:12] <nvz> or perhaps tar cvf /home/etc.tar /etc
1050[09:36:32] <nvz> I doubt a zipfile will preserve the
permissions
1056[09:39:26] <nvz> the pz is probably advisable.. heh
1057[09:39:39] <Haohmaru> tar cfpvzwtfomgyudodisnvz
/home/etc.tar.gz /etc
1058[09:39:41] <nvz> though /etc/ is probably not more than 20mb
so the z isn't too important
1059[09:40:17] <nvz> but the p is for preservation of owner and
such.. which probably isnt real important either.. since pretty much
all of it is gonna be owned by root :P
1060[09:40:34] <nvz> but the permissions may be varied
1061[09:40:37] <nvz> so..
1062[09:40:52] <Haohmaru> i thought so too but who knows wut
creepz in teh shady cornerz of /etc
1102[09:49:07] <nvz> its a bash script using zenity.. a simple
iso writer..
1103[09:49:22] <nvz> fancy way of doing cp debian.iso /dev/sdc
kinda deal
1104[09:49:26] <nvz> with visuals
1105[09:49:27] <Regor> i am using default vim-tiny package in
debian 10... Does it support spell check ?
1106[09:49:42] <MaxFrames> is it normal on debian 10 that it
responds to ping even after installing ufw and setting the default
block rule? I did not explicitly create a rule to allow ping reply
1107[09:50:01] <nvz> Regor: thats kind of a silly question..
you're using it.. I'm not.. and you're asking me. :P
1108[09:50:01] <Regor> what packages do i need to enable it?
1109[09:50:01] <MaxFrames> sorry echo request I mean. default is
DROP incoming and ALLOW outgoing
1110[09:50:06] <Haohmaru> nvz the point is, there should be some
built-in thing for this in debian, IMO
1111[09:50:26] <Haohmaru> if i gotta install sh*t just to get a
progress bar then meh
1112[09:50:39] <Haohmaru> unless it's a huge ISO, then i
would
1113[09:51:22] <nvz> Haohmaru: my solution is 32 lines of bash
code :P
1114[09:51:22] <tarzeau> dd has an option called status=progress
1115[09:51:47] <Haohmaru> tarzeau i know, that's what i used
1116[09:52:03] <Haohmaru> anyway, can i tar /etc while the system
is akchually running?
1117[09:52:39] <tarzeau> Haohmaru: yes absolutely, not sure about
systemd/* though
1118[09:52:53] <Haohmaru> systemd is naughty
1119[09:52:59] <nvz> you're probably not ever gonna touch
that tarball anyhow
1120[09:53:02] <tarzeau> if you want a complete system config
file backup you ought to not forget /var/spool/cron though
1121[09:53:07] <nvz> cause there probably wont be anything in it
you need
1146[09:55:37] <Haohmaru> i use a normal 3 butten mouse
1147[09:55:44] <Haohmaru> but i don't like acceleration
1148[09:56:08] <nvz> but I was thinking of writing a more general
tool that just is a regular settings wizard.. for navigating
complexities of things like sysfs, udev, etc.
1149[09:56:15] <Haohmaru> the GUIs in the desktop for adjusting
mouse settings no longer akchually work since debian9
1150[09:56:35] <nvz> they work for my touchpad.. the stuff in
MATE anyhow
1151[09:56:37] <BazookaTooth> what is this hooked on phonics
bullshit?
1152[09:56:41] <Haohmaru> because something with the drivers
changed and the GUIs adjust settings for the previous driver
1153[09:56:49] <Haohmaru> xinput is the current one or something
like that
1154[09:56:49] <nvz> but I just use it to disable my touchpad
1201[10:18:08] <MaxFrames> I need help with arpwatch.... I was
able to make it work with exim4 following this:
replaced-url
1202[10:18:52] <MaxFrames> now it no longer sends any email...
exim4 log says it did not even try... all I did after I checked it
was working, is changing the ip address of debian (same eth0
adapter)
1203[10:19:20] <MaxFrames> I am forcing triggering send mail by
changing the ip address of a pc.... exim4 does not send any mail
1208[10:20:56] <MaxFrames> the only mail it sent was the one when
it detected that its own ip address had changed... this mail was
sent and I can see it in exim4 mainlog... but after that, it did not
send any other
1209[10:21:24] <MaxFrames> rabbitear_g: what is that supposed to
mean?
1210[10:21:32] <jm_> tried restarting exim after changing IP?
1211[10:21:50] <MaxFrames> jm_: yes, I actually rebooted the
whole machine multiple times
1239[10:29:47] <metbsd> i want to delete a repositories
1240[10:29:51] <MaxFrames> arpwatch -d => no echo
1241[10:30:06] <metbsd> uninstall everything about this
repository
1242[10:31:19] <MaxFrames> "/var/lib/arpwatch/eth0.dat"
(the file that is supposed to keep a database of mac/ip pairs) does
not have any entry for my recent ip changes. so arpwatch is not
updating this file anymore
1243[10:31:41] <jm_> well if you only want apt to prevent
installing stuff from that repository, then yeah, if it's a
file in sources.list.d, you just delete the file, otherwise if
it's /etc/apt/sources.list edit it and remove the lines for it
1244[10:31:56] <jm_> if you want to uninstall packages from that
repository, then this shall help:
1245[10:32:01] <jm_> !which repo
1246[10:32:01] <dpkg> To see what repository a package may have
come from, try
replaced-url
1263[10:41:31] <MaxFrames> if I stop arpwatch and then manually
give the same command "usr/sbin/arpwatch -u arpwatch -i eth0 -f
eth0.dat -N -p -m myemailaddress@foo.com -F" it does not accept
it, like the syntax is wrong
1264[10:41:58] <jelly> MaxFrames: what's the actual error
you get doing it manually
1265[10:42:18] <MaxFrames> it just throws the "usage:"
text
1290[10:53:20] <neoclust> Hello, a friend have a pb with his
debian. His syslog is flooded by [ 5394.854366] hid-sensor-hub

1291[10:53:52] <neoclust> he tried to add :msg, contains,
"hid-sensor-hub 001F:8087:0AC2" ~ in
/etc/rsyslog.d/10-hidesensor.conf but still the same issue
1292[10:54:50] <neoclust> does someone has an idea ?
1324[11:06:30] <MaxFrames> now I have rebooted.
/var/lib/arpwatch/eth0.dat was automatically created. arpwatch is
running. eth0.dat is empty and is not being updated when I change ip
address.
1325[11:06:45] <MaxFrames> all this happened just because
I've change the ip address of the arpwatch machine
1326[11:07:36] <Haohmaru> well, wuddayaknow.. "the attempt
to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI2 partition #2 at /
failed" <- this in the debian installation
1332[11:08:56] <Haohmaru> what i did was, in the partitioning
step, i formatted the / partition, set it to be used as ext4, and
mounted as / ... then i set the existing /home partition to be
mounted as /home, and that's all
1333[11:08:57] <Tekmans_> ratrace, thx i'll check for the
target file
1334[11:09:37] <Haohmaru> and now it says "you may resume
partitioning"
1335[11:10:30] <ratrace> Tekmans_: there's nothing to check,
you specify it immediately after the filter line... & ~
that's why I asked to pastebin the file so we can see the full
stanza
1340[11:11:06] <MaxFrames> journalctl | grep arpwatch => it is
running, listening on eth0, and there are even three "new
station" entries, so it is working somehow, but not writing
anything to the .dat file and not sending mail
1346[11:14:53] <MaxFrames> I will have to throw away 10 days of
work because of this silly arpwatch situation... it only detects
changes in its own subnet range it seems... but arp should listen at
layer 2... I change my laptop ip address to a random ip and arpwatch
does not detect it... they are in the same lan... makes no sense
1347[11:15:50] <MaxFrames> upon starting it only detected its own
ip address and the gateway's, and btw did not write them to
eth0.dat, and now it won't do anything else
1357[11:17:53] <Haohmaru> if i continue partitioning (everything
appears right) and just click finish partitioning, it says "No
partition table changes and no creation of file systems have been
planned. if you plan on using already created file system, be aware
that existing files may prevent the successiful installation of the
base system"
1358[11:18:24] *** Quits: Tekmans__ (~Tekmans@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1359[11:18:31] <Haohmaru> shall i shrug and continue with the
installation?
1360[11:18:37] <MaxFrames> gosh... eth0.dat was finally updated
and mail sent... it looks like this latest arpwatch does not react
in realtime... as opposed to the old one?
1385[11:36:14] <coding_horribly> Hi all, noob networking fail
here. I can't connect to the internet, and have tried
everything I can think of. Currently `ip route` comes up blank, and
I'm not sure what to do next. Anyone want to try and work me
through this?
1386[11:37:23] <coding_horribly> ip a s shows a connection
(DOWN), but ifup tells me it's already configured.
1387[11:37:31] <jm_> Haohmaru: check other tty-s if there are any
details about the issue
1388[11:38:40] *** Quits: MenschZwoNull (~MenschZwo@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1389[11:38:59] <jm_> coding_horribly: you will have to describe
the basics first, what kind of connections, what have you configured
so far etc.
1393[11:40:22] <coding_horribly> jm_: Ethernet connection, it
worked out of the box, but then I messed it up by accident because I
thought it needed a static connection when it didn't,
1394[11:40:47] <coding_horribly> after that I'm pretty sure
I got it back up by adding a line into /etc/network/interfaces,
1395[11:40:55] <coding_horribly> needed to restart today, and no
internet.
1396[11:41:21] <coding_horribly> I've been messing around
with /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager, so I may have
managed to make things worse.
1403[11:43:48] <hesco> I'm having troubles writing an
/etc/network/interfaces which survives a service networking restart
without a trip to the datacenter and manual intervention to flush an
interface. Can anyone please take a look at this and advise? Your
help is appreciated. Thanks.
1418[11:48:02] <hesco> coding_horribly: so you are concerned with
internet connectivity from your desktop, through your router to the
world. Is that right?
1419[11:48:13] <coding_horribly> Yes.
1420[11:48:38] <hesco> is your router running dhcp? or are you
assigning your desktop a static IP?
1421[11:49:07] <coding_horribly> I'd like to be dhcp. I got
into this mess by thinking I needed static, but I'm pretty sure
it's running dhcp now.
1422[11:49:17] <MaxFrames> bah. arpwatch in debian is one of the
most poorly documented, badly implemented pieces of crap :(
1430[11:52:55] <hesco> most routers will record your
desktop's nic'smac address in its routing table and assign
you a static private IP on the subnet it manages.
1434[11:55:29] <hesco> bestwin, as root, plenty of hardware
information is accessible with use of dmedecode, but generally for
BIOS documentation you need to review what your hardware
manufacturer provides.
1435[11:57:29] <hesco> Just in case my own networking issue got
lost in my back and forth with coding_horribly discussing his
connectivity issues, I'm seeking guidance on how to resolve
issue documented here:
1441[12:01:33] <ratrace> hesco: first of all, you only need
"address" (in CIDR notation) and "gateway" in
the inet static stanza. the rest is calculated from the CIDR and
deprecated. second, you can't have two "gateway"
entries.
1444[12:02:39] <ratrace> hesco: then to add multiple IPs, you
just have multiple inet static stanzas, as described here (iproute2
method) ::
replaced-url
1482[12:26:38] <ratrace> hesco: you still have two gateways
1483[12:27:07] <ratrace> hesco: a "gateway" is just an
IP where all packets with no explicit routing are sent, and thus
there can be only one.
1484[12:27:13] *** Guest25 is now known as NetTerminalGene
1485[12:27:43] <ratrace> technically you can have more than one,
but not with "gateway" option, you'd need to do some
manual routing
1486[12:29:44] <Haohmaru> jm_ on that screen, somewhere above
(earlier in the installation) i see some stuff like "partman:
No matching physical volumes found" "partman: "
Reading all physical volumes. this may take a while..."
"kernel [ some.numbers ] perf: interrupt took too long ( ..
> .. ), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to ..."
1487[12:30:31] <tarzeau> why can't i run qemu without vnc
anymore?
1488[12:30:37] <tarzeau> and -display sdl is not supported???
1490[12:31:04] <jm_> Haohmaru: [some.numbers] is a timestamp,
dmesg -T will give you human readable times - try to remember last
line in dmesg output, repeat the issue, see if anything pops up
after remembered line
1491[12:31:25] <nyov> tarzeau: just remove the -display sdl. you
can still have a display
1492[12:31:27] <Haohmaru> that's what i did
1493[12:31:38] <tarzeau> nyov: i'm not getting a display i
get some freaking vnc shit
1494[12:31:43] <Haohmaru> when it says it can't mount /, i
see only 3 new lines printed
1495[12:31:45] <tarzeau> VNC server running on ::1:5900
1497[12:32:38] <Haohmaru> so.. what to do now? step back before
the partitioning and then step into it again? i doubt that's
gonna make any difference but should be easy to try
1501[12:34:14] <Haohmaru> as a side note: it's a little
funny how the partition manager has "Done setting up the
partitions, write changes to disk" when before that, when you
click on "erase data on this partition" - it simply erases
it immediately
1502[12:34:19] *** Quits: panga (~panga@replaced-ip) (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
1503[12:34:43] <Haohmaru> luckily i think i clicked on the right
one ;P~
1504[12:34:45] <nyov> tarzeau: I have -vga std in there, maybe
that's needed
1509[12:37:43] <Haohmaru> okay i stepped back, then forward,
clicked around in the partition manager, "Done setting up
partitions" and now it told me it's gonna format the /
partition to ext4
1510[12:37:59] <Haohmaru> this smells right.. let's see
1511[12:38:49] *** Quits: Lope (~lope@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1513[12:39:15] <jm_> just as long as it has / on the right one
1514[12:39:47] <Haohmaru> hm, maybe what i've done before
that was.. the / partition by default was probably "do not use
this partition" and then i've "erase data on this
partition" and it filled with zeros, then i've changed it
to ext4 and set it to mount as /, but i guess this didn't
"format" it to ext4
1516[12:40:27] <Haohmaru> does this sound plausible?
1517[12:40:29] *** Quits: Immanuel (~Manu@replaced-ip) (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
1518[12:41:04] <Haohmaru> seriously, i'm kinda worried that
you are allowed to erase stuff before selecting "done setting
up partitions, write changes to disk"
1519[12:41:09] *** Joins: Immanuel (~Manu@replaced-ip)
1520[12:41:20] <hesco> ratrace: thanks. I had to `ip addr flush
dev eno3` to get a clean restart, but now it seems to be working to
attach the IPs to the interface. But I seem unable to traceroute the
2d IP, or to ping it, or ssh into it, obviously.

1580[12:56:38] <ratrace> hesco: neat. it works then. do you
perhaps have packet filtering in place that doesn't allow new
ICMP packets (non-established) to that IP?
1581[12:57:04] <coding_horribly> Alas, no connection after
configuring dhcp using the link and disabling & stopping NM then
restarting networking
1582[12:57:34] <ratrace> coding_horribly: can you pastebin some

1583[12:57:48] <coding_horribly> sure
1584[12:58:07] <coding_horribly> but it's super simple (3
lines) should I just put it in here?
1625[13:18:33] <ratrace> coding_horribly: NO-CARRIER ... is the
cable connected? broken? switch on the other side working? does the
NIC need firmware? dmesg | grep -i firmware
1630[13:20:38] <coding_horribly> I did two things at once, not
sure what did it. One, I remembered that I'd tweaked
NetworkManager.conf, and I thought maybe it was making problems, so
I switched what I had originally done, and restarted networking.
1636[13:21:36] <coding_horribly> Also, I did check the cable, and
while I think it was connected, it was an itty-bit wiggly, so I
won't rule out a cringe-worthy cable fail.
1646[13:24:46] <Haohmaru> aww, now i don't see anything on
the screen because the radeon haz no driver.. fortunately i
installed ssh server on it, unfortunately, i don't know teh IP
1657[13:27:11] <Haohmaru> is there some trick to find out what IP
it uses without being able to see?
1658[13:27:20] <coding_horribly> ratrace: I suppose?
1659[13:27:32] <Haohmaru> this is basic h4x0r 101 i guess
1660[13:27:54] <ratrace> coding_horribly: well does it work now?
it got the IP via DHCP and you can access stuff?
1661[13:28:04] <coding_horribly> I mean, I did like a million
things in between losing internet and getting it back, and the last
thing was fixing the cable, so it could've been just that the
whole time, but I sort of suspect not?
1662[13:28:14] <ratrace> ah, k.

1664[13:29:39] <coding_horribly> Thanks a ton for the help,

1665[13:30:45] <coding_horribly> Haohmaru: Are the problems on a
local machine?
1666[13:31:12] <Haohmaru> yes, it's right here, but the

slighty more from systemd before it switches resolution

connect the monitor through VGA?
1740[13:53:30] <Haohmaru> Fox it's a fresh install
1741[13:53:33] <whislock> Haohmaru: What you can do is extract
your archive, then see what files are in /etc that aren't in
your archive and remove them.
1742[13:53:56] <Haohmaru> crap :~(
1743[13:54:01] <whislock> It's easy.
1744[13:54:47] <ratrace> tip of the day: diff can show
differences between dirs too
1761[13:58:06] <andre144k> hi all... i have a <special>
problem... maybe someone have an idea? in basement we connect an
ESX-Host with 10G network (light) on cisco switch. in firstflore i
have an linux-server with samba. - when i copy files from a guest on
esx-server to linux server i have 1mb/s speed... when u use instead
of 10G network (light) 1G network (copper) i have 100mb/s speed...
1763[13:58:43] <Haohmaru> the whole problem here was that, for
some reason i had installed 32bit debian10.. no idea why, and now
i'm doing this whole operation to change it to 64bit and keep
all my stuff intact (supposedly)
1764[13:59:09] <andre144k> when i messure speed over light (10G
network) via iperf3 i get round about 40mb/s - when i messure over
copper (1G network) via iperf3 i get round about 110mb/s
1765[13:59:24] <diogenes_> Hello guys, in the process of updating
ebian 10 i got this ncurses question about selecting keyboard
layout, which one is recommended?
replaced-url
1766[13:59:37] <Haohmaru> in this packages.lst i see a pile of
:i386
1779[14:02:10] <whislock> andre144k: Protocols are not beholden
to line speeds. It is a universal truth that a protocol will always
be slower than the line it's using.
1780[14:02:11] <Haohmaru> whislock more like.. gotta avoid
installing 32bit on a 64bit machine
1781[14:02:25] <ratrace> andre144k: I'm assuming you mean
MB/s (mega BYTES) not bits (lowercase b)? Does your NIC require
firmware? check dmesg | grep -i firmware . Also what whislock said.
1784[14:03:14] <ratrace> andre144k: and also, you can have
infinite network speed, but you'll be confined to hard disk
(and SATA, and memory, and ...) throughput when you serve files over
the pipe
1785[14:03:35] <Haohmaru> whislock i ran that and i still see
:i386 in the file
1837[14:14:41] <simplicius> I've installed the software but
I get this:
replaced-url
1838[14:14:42] <ratrace> Haohmaru: perhaps too late now, but come
to think of it, I'd rather suggest reinstalling only manually
installed packages, eg. those from apt-mark showmanual list not
whole selections, as i386 might have different dependencies
1840[14:15:01] <Haohmaru> ehm, dpkg says, at the end
"warning: found unknown packages; this might mean the available
database is outdated and needs to be updated thru a frontend
method;"
1841[14:15:33] <ratrace> simplicius: when you connected the phone
via USB, did you change, on the phone to mtp/file transfer?
depending on your android version, it may or may not be default
1842[14:15:49] <Haohmaru> okay, so basically the packages.lst i
made is pretty much useless, i shall go ahead and install everything
manually
1843[14:15:50] <Haohmaru> meh
1844[14:15:55] <simplicius> ratrace, yes I selected MTP not usb
charhing
1868[14:22:05] <ratrace> diogenes_: well yeah, if that was during
update, it would show current selection, so you can just hit enter
until it finishes
1869[14:22:31] <hesco> yes, ratrace: thanks. Pretty sure you are
right that my issue is my iptables. Been sorting through my puppet
manifests to fix them. Really appreciate your help getting this far.
Although I am still at it, opening up the firewall to that second IP
bound to that interface.
1870[14:22:33] <diogenes_> and there you got a great

it went "okay" and i could even do "apt-get
update" and i could see it's using my old sources.list
which has backports and stuff
2101[16:01:01] <Haohmaru> but this time it reacted (badly)
immediately as i uncompressed the stuff onto /etc
2102[16:01:53] <TimBandTech> When I choose LXDE on a fresh
standard install it chooses wicd for the network manager, which
fails to recognize my wifi. It's a Dell Precision M3400 with
the 3411 Broadcom wifi pci adapter. I load the b43 after the network
install over wired eth. Then I change over to gnome's network
manager and everything is fine. I'm blaming wicd, but i have
not dug deep on this one.
2103[16:02:11] <Haohmaru> now if i try to re-extract the stuff
into /etc, i get piles of errors like "tar: etc/console-setup:
cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: read-only file system"
2104[16:02:15] <EdePopede> oh so you literally threw some old
stuff over /etc. i thought it was as least some .deb unpacking
2113[16:04:07] <Haohmaru> no idea.. basically, after a fresh
install, i can't use login screen because the radeon
doesn't have the fancy driver and throws an odd resolution at
the monitor, so i switch to ctrl+alt+F1, login as root, and extract
my old etc.tar.gz on top of /etc
2115[16:04:37] <hugo_> Hello all, i usually use "ssh-agent
&& ssh-add" commands to save my ssh passphrase. What
command could i use to know if my ssh key was added to the session ?
2116[16:05:00] <Haohmaru> no idea about syslogs, there were 2
reboots since then
2117[16:05:06] <Haohmaru> maybe it's gone
2118[16:05:15] <EdePopede> fixing a gpu issue like this brought
up a gpu issue. may be related ;)
2138[16:11:35] <jelly> MaxFrames: does the workaround described
in that bug report not work?
2139[16:11:41] <Haohmaru> "gzip: /var/log/syslog*gzls.gz: no
such file or directory" "/var/log/syslog:Dec 9 16:34:37
cad kernel: [ some.numbers] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts:

2140[16:12:09] <MaxFrames> jelly: I have applied it an am waiting
to see if the suspend warning will still come up
2141[16:12:20] *** Quits: progart (~kamee@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2142[16:12:32] <EdePopede> Haohmaru: that's it. now the
question is, why was it remounted? related to the unpacking maybe?
2143[16:12:40] <Haohmaru> hm, EdePopede seems i've entered
the wrong command
2144[16:12:50] <MaxFrames> that said, the system never went to
sleep. I've left it unattended for about two hours. so I
don't even know if the suspend warning is "real" or a
red herring
2145[16:12:56] <Haohmaru> ls actually returns just
/var/log/syslog
2146[16:12:59] <EdePopede> btw, the numbers are the timestamp as
%s.%N (man strftime, man date)

2167[16:18:21] <jim> I did: checkbackport git, and the reply was:
"Backporting package git in sid→buster/amd64: all
build-dependencies satisfied using buster, virtual.", and my
question is, what's this virtual thing?
2173[16:19:26] <dpkg> i guess virtual is when you can see it, but
its not there, as opposed to hidden, where you can't see it,
but it is there, when its gone, then you can't see it and it
isn't there. a model of reality, in a handy carrying case, or
<virtual package>, or <virtualization>.
2174[16:20:01] *** Quits: bagoduva (~bagduva@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2175[16:20:14] <EdePopede> Haohmaru: either you could reformat
the timestamp to something readable: $ date -d
@<YOUR_TIMESTAMP_HERE> ## and then do `ls -lctr` on a
directory which the files you changed, this brings the newest files
at the end. and then check the timings.
2181[16:22:03] <EdePopede> Haohmaru: or do a 'stat -t'
on such a directory and grep for a timestamp similar to the one from
that log line. e.g. it was just 1575904851, in this case i'd
check for 1575904, that's around 14 minutes
2206[16:27:14] <Haohmaru> altho i do wonder why i was able to
extract etc.tar.gz over /etc on the first reinstall and then it
seemed to "work" enough so as to do apt-get update and get
no errors
2207[16:28:05] <Haohmaru> is there anything i can try to do that
would take less time than another full reinstall?
2220[16:31:32] <Haohmaru> hm, but if with netinst i have to type
crazy commands to "mount" partitions - then no, i'd
rather take a live image cuz that works easier x_x
2221[16:31:35] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: the only thing that
should matter is if the "live image" has enought
"tools" to do what you want.
2222[16:31:52] <horseshoecrab> (although im not entirely sure i
understand exactly what you are trying to do)
2223[16:31:57] * horseshoecrab scrolls up a bit...
2224[16:32:06] <Haohmaru> horseshoecrab they do.. don't
they? i even apt-get install gparted in a live iso
2225[16:32:28] <horseshoecrab> i think netinst is pretty minimal
2226[16:32:39] <Haohmaru> yeah, i know.. it probably won't
work
2227[16:32:41] <horseshoecrab> but im not 100% sure
2228[16:32:47] <Haohmaru> or at least.. not so "easy"
2229[16:32:57] <horseshoecrab> if you are in the doo-doo and you
gotta boot from some media
2230[16:33:00] <horseshoecrab> and mount your disks
2231[16:33:04] <horseshoecrab> and maybe chroot etc...
2232[16:33:25] <Haohmaru> i certainly know i can do it with a
LXDE live image, i can click via the PCManFM filemanager to get
stuff mounted and then type commandz in terminal
2233[16:33:34] <horseshoecrab> if its got to that horrible stage
already, why make it worse? start downloading the fattest live iso
you can find and get the coffee on.
2234[16:33:54] <Haohmaru> i don't wanna waste more time
2239[16:34:32] <horseshoecrab> i tend to agree with whislock
2240[16:34:39] <Haohmaru> what does that mean?
2241[16:34:55] <Haohmaru> what should i do?
2242[16:35:01] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: i think if you did
something like: i can just take a tarball of the machine in this
state and then extract it
2243[16:35:07] <Haohmaru> forget my etc.tar.gz and start from
zero?
2244[16:35:11] <horseshoecrab> (not being mean)
2245[16:35:22] <horseshoecrab> you've demonstrated a certain
lack of understanding. :P
2246[16:35:40] <Haohmaru> i haven't claimed i know wtf
i'm doing
2247[16:35:46] <horseshoecrab> you can continue messing around
and it will (depending on your personal attitude to life) possibly
be a very good learning experience
2248[16:36:03] <EdePopede> Haohmaru: shure, / is read-only. no
chance at all to create or change anything there until it is mounted
rw again.
2249[16:36:05] <horseshoecrab> but if you just want it to work,
then you should probably look at other options (which means a
reinstall) :(
2250[16:36:28] <Haohmaru> okay, so another reinstall then
2251[16:36:39] <EdePopede> of the packages or of the os?
2252[16:36:41] <whislock> Haohmaru: Reinstall and fresh
configuration. Don't try this /etc thing again.
2253[16:36:50] <Haohmaru> the reason i did this etc.tar.gz thing
is because mr nvz told me so
2254[16:36:58] <horseshoecrab> i mean its fine to try
2255[16:37:06] <horseshoecrab> i might even try it if i was
desperate enough
2256[16:37:12] <Haohmaru> (because i wanted to keep all my
configz and customizations there)
2257[16:37:21] <EdePopede> /etc is apt-get wonderland. restricted
area, prosecutors will be... punished ;)
2258[16:37:23] <horseshoecrab> but i wouldnt expect it to work on
any machine that didnt have a very simple config.
2259[16:37:47] <Haohmaru> EdePopede that's what i told nvz
too, because i thought it's gonna mess up things
2260[16:37:48] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: keeping the old /etc/ to
help you rebuild the new machine is a different matter.
2261[16:37:53] <horseshoecrab> that can be very useful
2262[16:37:53] <EdePopede> manual changes have to be done
carefully and minimalinvasive as possible (i don't even touch
the original apache files)
2263[16:38:03] <horseshoecrab> but a drag and drop is chancing it
at best (imvho)
2264[16:38:16] <Haohmaru> okay
2265[16:38:24] *** Quits: knidos (~knidos@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2286[16:46:07] <EdePopede> some features of total commander from
windows would be nice to have, maybe i even would switch then. but
if this would replace mc's subshell paradigm?
2287[16:46:32] <Haohmaru> i knew i shouldn't trust him
2298[16:50:43] <Haohmaru> it's not the first time he's
suggesting things i should try, and then he vanishes away, and
leaves me alone as the brickwall approaches
2315[16:57:14] <Haohmaru> EdePopede well, as i said, on the first
reinstall, extracting the tar "worked" .. what didn't
work was the dpkg --set-selections
2316[16:57:37] <Haohmaru> because my packages.lst contains too
many things that had :i386 (duh)
2317[16:58:07] <Haohmaru> that's why i'm thinking maybe
it could work but not while the system is running

had to reboot it by pumping ctrl+alt+del, then systemd wanted to
vomit
2326[16:59:57] <EdePopede> i had just a few i386 things installed
over the years. mostly i remember skype, and i think it is(was?) one
of the typical proprietary software issues: they want to build only
one version, and there were 64bit for intel AND amd. so typing
`make` 3 times? nah, by far too much work
2327[17:00:00] <MaxFrames> that is some colorful description
2328[17:00:13] <Haohmaru> EdePopede my whole debian installation
was 32bit
2329[17:00:23] <Haohmaru> i don't remember why
2330[17:00:32] <EdePopede> a good reason to do a clean install
with 64bit ;)
2331[17:00:45] <Haohmaru> that's.. what i thought i was
doing
2332[17:00:46] <jelly> perhaps you installed it first back when
there was no 64bit
2333[17:00:49] <EdePopede> downloaded the wrong iso for the
initial install?
2334[17:01:28] *** Quits: ir0nbutt (~LiberLive@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
2335[17:01:36] <Haohmaru> jelly i think it might have been either
debian 8 or 9, and i read about "btrfs" and had the
impression it might be kewl, so i installed it on btrfs
2336[17:01:47] <Haohmaru> and maybe i've went for 32bit then
2369[17:09:13] <Haohmaru> he was already on it, i don't know
why i gave him a chance
2370[17:09:21] <horseshoecrab> i think a good takeaway might be:
"etc has a lot files. some of these are very simple default
boilerplate stuff, but some are very complicated"
2371[17:09:38] <Haohmaru> basically, i knew this already
2372[17:09:42] *** Parts: MaxFrames (~MaxFrames@replaced-ip) ("It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here,

2374[17:09:57] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: you needed help and he
appeared helpful. id prefer not to project to much, i kind of assume
he was trying to help as well. :)
2375[17:10:07] <horseshoecrab> i dont see much evidence of him
being malicious per se.
2376[17:10:31] <Haohmaru> that's why i was looking at
alternative ways like "CrossGrading" (but they told me
it's very difficult), and reinstalling (which i didn't
want to do if there's a faster way)
2377[17:11:04] <simplicius> I have mounted a device with sudo
jmtpfs /home/gidna/simplicius
2378[17:11:06] <greycat> "Crossgrading" is the word
used for "in-place architecture gration"

2381[17:11:27] <Haohmaru> horseshoecrab he's on my list not
because he's malicious, but because he's probably in a
different timezone, and as i try out what he suggested, he's
already gone

2387[17:12:22] <Haohmaru> it would've been funny if you were
a greyoctopus
2388[17:12:31] <greycat> "Crossgrading" is the word
used for "in-place architecture migration". Whether it
WORKS or not is highly questionable. It is definitely a "back
up everything first" situation.
2390[17:12:57] <EdePopede> Haohmaru: just for fun i did a minimal
istall on the lenovo. still 200+ packages. when i started with linux
(slackware, then debian with a 2.0 kernel) everything was much
smaller. no useable internet, so i had the peace of mind to walk
through my filesystem.
2391[17:12:58] <horseshoecrab> it sounds scary.
2392[17:13:10] <Haohmaru> yeah i had packed up my projects, just
didn't want to loose my configs and customization.. my /home is
a separate partition
2393[17:13:21] <Haohmaru> but i got stuff in /etc for sure
2394[17:13:23] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: that can be very hand.
2396[17:13:39] <EdePopede> maybe have a 2nd system or a vm to
potentially break things
2397[17:13:47] <horseshoecrab> Haohmaru: id take the approach of
regularly backing up etc. but just not to "drop in place"
when i came to restore / rebuild
2398[17:14:12] <horseshoecrab> more a reference. i might
selectively just copy *some* stuff over network/interfaces perhaps
2399[17:14:33] <horseshoecrab> but never just all of it and
expect to work - but that comes from bitter experience. :)
2402[17:14:40] <Haohmaru> right.. it originally never even passed
thru my mind to do such things with /etc/ because i knew it has
delicate things there.. untill nvz changed my mind
2403[17:15:12] <Haohmaru> and as i said, it appeared that it
might work, and it also appeared that it can break horribly
2404[17:15:14] <Haohmaru> ;P~
2405[17:15:29] <horseshoecrab> also this might be worth
considering, even though i am fairly experienced i tend to
"leave my own version and ignore package maintainers..."
2452[17:27:40] <annadane> right now it's just for reddit
enhancement suite, and i think before that it was because of dns
over https (though i think in esr 60 you could still set it in
about:config)
2453[17:28:03] <ratrace> oh you actually _want_ that feature :)
2454[17:28:38] <annadane> maybe eventually i'll get tired of
breakage or changes or whatever and use esr i guess

UPGRADE.. where when you tell it you want to install... if its
already installed its understandable to take that to mean you want
it manually installed
2541[17:47:32] <unborn> its normal.. even under windows.. mb
degrade the speed as files or electronic impulses come into flow
which means you would often would be left with slower speed while
copying - something similar with cheap mirco cards in phones.. the
more youre copying the slower process would be.. you can google it
all..
2542[17:47:47] <whislock> unborn: What the hell are you going on
about?
2548[17:49:26] <whislock> Write caching. Writes get cached in

of a lot faster than the disk does. Simple.

2550[17:49:48] <Cerb> hi. I am trying to install the clisp
package on debian stretch . it seems it is not in the repositories
that I am using and I cannot find a source that tells me how to
update them
2551[17:50:06] <whislock> unborn: Just stop, please. There's
enough garbage information on the internet, we don't need to
add to it here.
2552[17:50:13] <nvz> I think you're confusing Crucial MX and
BX SERIES
2570[17:52:32] <greycat> You can either upgrade to buster, or
attempt to backport the clisp package to stretch, or attempt to
build upstream's clisp on stretch.
2571[17:52:45] <nvz> whislock: way I see it is, its easier to get
them to understand something that doesnt exist in reality than
understand the meaning of a question :P
2572[17:53:04] <whislock> nvz: If you can't dazzle with
brilliance, baffle with bullshit?
2573[17:53:04] <nvz> there is no mb vs mx.. that is more easily
verifyable :P

upgrading to buster) seem beyond what i am able to do. it is strange
because i am trying to install a very old software that requires
clisp...and wants version at least as new as one from 2006
2584[17:54:52] <whislock> Sensible.
2585[17:54:56] <greycat> whislock: there is a vote upcoming about

it
2586[17:54:58] <annadane> no, but there's a current
resolution
2587[17:55:05] <annadane> yeah what greycat said
2588[17:55:15] <annadane> it's systemd decision part 2
2590[17:55:46] <Furry_Kitty> nvz It's 2019. I was not
speaking of the default init system Debian is using, which is
systemd for very good reasons. I was speaking about supporting other
systems of which I don't see a point
2646[18:03:30] <karlpinc> Is there a way to check the installed
packages to see that required(or even recommended) packages are
installed? I'm thinking of what happens when apt (apt-get,
etc.) start giving me choices about resolving conflicts and how to
find out if bad choices have been made in the past.
2657[18:06:46] <karlpinc> greycat: Thanks. I see the approach.
I've never had to worry about this before but am walking onto a
system which someone else has been administering and am afraid
there's going to be cleanup required.

of the Bruce Lee's life. It's in two part and part 1 was
when he was kid and went to US. what's the second movie ?
2685[18:11:19] <karlpinc> annadane: Secure erase is nice. As a
bonus you can then make sure that there's enough free space
reserved (0%-20%, depending on SSD quality) that you don't get
write amplification. Best is to simply not partition the reserved
space.
2700[18:20:05] <karlpinc> annadane: SSDs can suffer from write
amplification, which means very slow writing, forever, once the
drive has started to get full. Spinning disks, if you're going
to be tweaky, are faster on the outer cylinders because the heads
don't have to move to the next track as often. So you can put
the stuff you want to be really fast in (the) partition(s) at the
beginning of the drive.
2708[18:23:29] <unborn> dka: we are open source community
supporting something else here.. we do not share files or torrents
to illegal activity, we only share our knowledge and torrents
leading to debian linux operating system. have good day - ALL.
2715[18:26:49] <annadane> it wasn't even a 'i have
adversaries' question, it was just like, making sure the drive
was clean... or something... before installing
2716[18:26:58] <annadane> despite the fact the d_i probably does
that already
2717[18:27:13] <greycat> It's simply not a thing one needs
to do.
2720[18:27:49] <annadane> when i inevitably trash this computer
then yeah i'll dd it
2721[18:27:55] <greycat> When you make a file system, it
initializes whatever sectors it actually has to initialize and
declares the rest of the disk to be "available",
regardless of whatever rubbish is on it.
2722[18:28:07] <annadane> yeah yeah yeah.
2723[18:28:14] *** Joins: conta (~Thunderbi@replaced-ip)
2726[18:30:38] <GenTooMan> if you wish to securely wipe a hard
disk I've used shred it takes overnight on a 2T hard disk
however.
2727[18:32:47] <unborn> GenTooMan: drill bit and drill.. few
minutes like 2 minutes, rest could be microwaved in 2 minutes and
there is zero... its shredded properly
2728[18:33:10] <annadane> WHAT are you TALKING about
2729[18:33:37] <greycat> unborn: wipe as in "reuse it
afterward", not destroy
2730[18:33:44] <EdePopede> or throw it into an aluminium fire
2731[18:34:15] <GenTooMan> wiping a hard disk clean. you
can't reformat a modern HD as that can only be done by the
manufacturer.
2732[18:34:39] <GenTooMan> secure erase is the closest thing at
this time to reformatting one.
2736[18:36:52] <unborn> greycat: ah I see.. well.. yes - Im after
night shift here it is 17:36 and I had been up since day before and
before that time...I know not excuse for me.. I think I will get a
sleep... that is perhaps I get destroy like wipe out.. means I am
tired.. Im sorry about that. - but be devil and do destroy
everything to lead towards you ;) night night.
2737[18:37:24] <jelly> GenTooMan: shred(1) with its 3 overwrites
is probably overkill on modern disks
2747[18:38:56] <GenTooMan> jelly yes you are very likely right
(almost wrote that write ... ) at the time I had some old maxtors
and was doing those at the time.
2748[18:39:02] *** debhelper sets mode: +l 1577
2749[18:39:33] <annadane> i will never memorize man page
conventions enough to use (1) in casual conversation :P
2750[18:39:37] <GenTooMan> unborn sleep is not over rated. It
leads to sanity. :D
2754[18:40:26] <greycat> in this context, "shred(1)"
means "the actual program whose name is shred, that you can
execute as a command", as opposed to the English word, or the
general concept of data shredding
2755[18:40:38] <annadane> oh that's fair enough then
2757[18:41:29] <unborn> GenTooMan: only open source and linux and
human beings with love leads to sanity - yes sleep and sex too.. -
man which part of the I am off you did not understood - now I am
forced to dnd button - it looks nice somehow.. bey
2758[18:41:42] <jelly> annadane: uh, (1) for one normal command,
(8) for root stuff requiring infinite power, (5) for file syntax,
eg. hosts(5) ("hosts" has five letters)
2767[18:44:21] <GenTooMan> I dare someone to do man ffmpeg :D
2768[18:44:38] <jak2000> hi in my network 192.168.8.* i have a
server that listen in 8006 port (proxmox server)... my question is,
how to fin the server(which ip)?

2804[18:56:57] <annadane> or rather, backported for stable so
firefox can migrate
2805[18:57:02] <annadane> i'm not certain though
2806[18:57:27] <jelly> jak2000: read the manual, but in general
do some sort of tcp scan on -p 8006 on 192.168.8.1-254 (I'm
assuming it's a /24 segment, if it's not you might need to
include .0 and .255 as well)
2807[18:57:47] <greycat> Is the build toolset significantly
different between f-esr 68.2 and 68.3?
2890[19:21:39] <wrksx> How are you supposed to intall an older
version of a package in debian? Not sure what happens, but I want to
install an older version of mariaDB (10.3.17) but it only sees the
'current'version.
2910[19:27:34] <jhutchins_wk> Note that the dpkg system does not
support rollbacks, you'd have to uninstall and install the
older version. There might be features implemented in the database
that aren't backwards compatible, but that shouldn't
happen with a minor version change.
2922[19:32:58] <jak2000> apt install nmap give me this error:

2942[19:41:44] <somiaj> I think wheezy has moved to

2946[19:42:16] <somiaj> in general if your system is exposed to
the internet, you shouldn't be running wheezy anymore
2947[19:42:22] <nyov> it has wheezed it's last breath
2971[19:51:58] <greycat> wheezy support ended May 31, 2016 and
they put out wheezy 7.11 on June 4
2972[19:52:05] <jak2000> apt install nmap give me this error:

2998[19:57:55] <somiaj> The netinstall won't, maybe you
could point the netboot at the archive, I think the archive also has
copies of sarges installer
2999[19:58:10] *** Quits: swift110 (~swift110@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
3000[19:58:12] <somiaj> also seems that wheezy/updates got
coppied over to archive.debian.org which will contain LTS updates
3041[20:10:25] *** Guest46569 is now known as X200-1984
3042[20:10:28] <X200-1984> Hola
3043[20:10:33] <karlpinc> tom_work: The installer should let you
choose from where you install. You can point it to the archive. (If
nothing else, by editing sources.list in a vt. But that
shouldn't be necessary.)
3047[20:13:09] <greycat> or, spend the bare minimum amount of
time in the installer, and just add the additional pkgs you want
after booting into the installed system
3053[20:15:15] <somiaj> karlpinc: I think you need to be careful
there, the standard installer installs the base system from the
installer (not where you point it to), the exepctio to this is the
netboot image.
3054[20:15:30] *** Quits: n4dir (~n4dir@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
3055[20:15:34] <genericum> and there i was Thinking that
3056[20:16:06] <genericum> updating Firefox might solve the
problem
3083[20:30:30] <karlpinc> I don't use apt-get a whole lot.
Does it (by default) always ask before removing packages?
3084[20:31:42] <karlpinc> I'm trying to see what it wants to
do without doing it. --trivial-only seems to abort kind of early,
telling me that it's not removing a package but I see "260
not upgraded" and I wonder what they are.
3085[20:34:43] <somiaj> apt-get asks for conformation if it ever
has to do more than you told it to
3086[20:34:56] <somiaj> so if you say apt-get remove package1,
but package2 also needs to be remoed, it will ask.
3087[20:35:07] <ksk> how about "--simulate"? :P
3088[20:35:21] <somiaj> simulate won't ask, it will just
tell you what would have gotten removed
3126[20:59:15] <greycat> Well, I bit the bullet and upgraded my
containered VPS wheezy system to jessie, by forcing the init system
to remain decrepit. Because 2.6 kernel. Can't systemd. But I
haven't rebooted it yet.
3179[21:31:18] <greycat> No, now I'm ignoring you, because
YOU ARE STATING THINGS THAT FLY IN THE FACE OF COMMON SENSE AND OF
EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE, without giving any actual details to
back up these outlandish claims.
3245[22:08:57] <physiology_> Never afraid to get torn apart by a
room of Linux guys. :). I am trying to start from a base
installation each morning (after we ruin the machine with testing
during the day).
3253[22:11:49] <physiology_> Because we've been asked to
test on physical machines now! We've found that some of the
work that we are developing works on VMs but not physical. So we
must test physical now to be sure.
3254[22:11:55] <physiology_> I guess manual instal is the only
answer?
3256[22:12:58] <greycat> Well, the "real hardware" way
is to copy the disk image to a disk, once a day, which will take a
few hours. So, you probably want to have THREE copies of each hard
drive -- the master, the one in use being destroyed, and the one
you'll use next morning.
3258[22:13:42] <greycat> Come in, remove the destroyed disk, put
in the one you copied yesterday, and begin the next copy onto the
destroyed disk, to be used tomorrow.
3259[22:14:26] <greycat> see also /msg greybot b21
3283[22:19:12] <physiology_> somiaj: They will be done on a live
system throughout the day. Then, at night, I'm aiming to reset
the system through some automated means.
3288[22:20:12] <somiaj> physiology_: but you cuold use live-build
to build a live system, boot from this live system, and do
everything form the live system. Once the live system is shut down,
it will always boot back to its initial state.
3289[22:20:16] <greycat> You cannot remove and reimage a physical
disk "automatically" unless you program a robot to open up
the machine, remove the disk, etc.
3295[22:21:32] <somiaj> depending on what you can do, this can be
memeory intensive (since the whole system is being run in memeory
and not from a physical hd)
3296[22:22:04] <physiology_> This is good to be talking it out
with you guys. somiaj, that makes sense and at least is a place to
start.
3298[22:22:14] <somiaj> but if what you are doing can be done
from a live system, this can avoid the whole imagagin process, just
boot the live system, destory it you want, then reboot and you are
back to your base case (though you may need to learn to build your
own custom live systems)
3299[22:22:15] <physiology_> Failing that, a bit of manual work
needs to be done
3300[22:22:56] <somiaj> debian live has tools and documents on
how to build a custom live system (using live-build) from debian.
3302[22:24:12] <physiology_> This could be a fun project.
I've never been in that world.
3303[22:24:12] <nyov> physiology_: clonezilla can re-image
harddisks from a central server over the network.
3304[22:24:20] <andres833> Hi everyone, anyone had trouble with
ssh cipher when try access to old server with a Debian version old?
thanks
3305[22:24:27] <physiology_> nyov: Can it be automated/scripted?
3306[22:24:55] <nyov> physiology_: if your client machines can be
booted WOL, should work
3307[22:25:03] <nyov> Wake-On-Lan, that is
3308[22:25:39] <somiaj> physiology_: though imaging can take some
time, hence I like greycat's idea of having multiple disks you
swap around, so the imagaing is happening while you are working on
the days system.
3309[22:25:54] <nyov> but check the docs. I remember we used
norton ghost for that and windows clients
3310[22:25:54] <physiology_> I gotcha. I see no reason that they
couldn't be. I'm not configuring it to any compliance
level. Just plain install.
3311[22:25:56] <somiaj> physiology_: depending on the image size,
it could take hours for the image to work over the network.
3333[22:35:59] <jhutchins_wk> physiology_: What about the idea of
taking one snapshot, then restoring that every day. They do that for
computer labs.
3334[22:36:32] <jhutchins_wk> physiology_: The other thing they
do is have a master image on a server and boot to that image every
day, without the ability to write back to the master.
3335[22:36:46] *** Quits: JohnML (~john1@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
3336[22:36:53] <physiology_> jhutchins_wk: That ties in with
using Clonezilla (or some similar solution), I think. Some
centralized server would be required, but yeah.
3337[22:37:08] <physiology_> jhutchins_wk: I appreciate it. :)
3338[22:37:16] <greycat> Oh, that's a reasonable alternative
too. Diskless clients that boot from the net.
