24[00:17:38] <cluelessperson> sure, I'm looking to get an
idea how to be specific.
25[00:17:41] <tekk> Hi, I'm having the weirdest problem. I
just changed my gateway and all of a sudden I can't resolve any
DNS or connect to any hosts outside my network, however I am able to
ping any host (by IP) successfully
26[00:18:04] <tekk> I've checked my
/etc/network/interfaces and ip route show, both look completely
normal, and there is no firewall active that I can see
27[00:18:23] <wallacer> so no TCP/UDP packets work but ICMP
does?
28[00:18:25] <tekk> other hosts on this network are working as
intended
29[00:18:33] <tekk> wallacer, TCP/UDP works locally, but not
beyond the gateway
30[00:18:35] <tekk> ICMP works everywhere
31[00:19:04] <wallacer> locally as in everything accessible at
the L2 layer, right?
32[00:19:19] <tekk> yes
33[00:19:30] <format_c> maybe it helps when you come around
with some facts
34[00:19:35] <tekk> I checked the ARP table too
35[00:19:45] *** Quits: LucaTM (~LucaTM@replaced-ip) (Quit: To infinity and beyond...)
36[00:19:57] <tekk> I want someone to point out something
obvious to me that I'm too tired to notice, but sadly, I
can't seem to debug this one...
37[00:20:01] <wallacer> hmm that'd mean that your gateway
is dropping TCP/UDP connections, actually gives me NAT
misconfiguration flashbacks
38[00:20:02] <cluelessperson> tekk, what do you mean
"changed your gateway" ?
39[00:20:06] <wallacer> did you try tcpdumping?
40[00:20:19] <cluelessperson> sounds like firewall to me.
41[00:20:22] <tekk> my old gateway was 192.168.50.1 and
I've now replaced it with a new appliance at 192.168.50.254
(thats all)
42[00:20:38] <tekk> smells like firewall to me too, only thing
I can think of is the gateway some how doesn't like this
host... but unlikely (pfSense out the box)
43[00:20:54] <wallacer> if you have access to the gateway you
could try tcpdumping there to see if it's a error there
45[00:21:13] <tekk> wallacer, no, thats my next one, just
tcpdump -I interface tcp ?
46[00:21:18] <tekk> good idea
47[00:21:21] <tekk> I'll run on both
48[00:21:28] <wallacer> yeah see what's happening both on
your and the gateway's side
49[00:21:54] <cluelessperson> tekk, I agree with them. tcpdump
on gateway to confirm it's receiving the packets. then check
gateway's logs to see if it's failing to route/blocking
them in firewall.
63[00:28:58] <tekk91> it was the same interface as before, only
the gateway IP changed.... default via 192.168.50.254 dev vmbr0
onlink
64[00:29:03] <tekk91> 192.168.50.0/24 is the network
65[00:29:10] <tekk91> vmbr0 is a bridged interface of em0
66[00:29:15] <tekk91> nothing fancy in it though
67[00:29:15] <smurfke> On a debian 10, will an (nfs) mount
added as a line to /etc/fstab be converted to a system unit?
68[00:29:55] <format_c> Yeah but since you apparently have 2
routers on the same network, ICMP redirects may dynamically modify
your local routing table.
69[00:29:56] <tekk91> one detail thats perhaps important and I
left out.... this Debian host is a KVM hypervisor... the gateway for
the whole network is a guest VM
70[00:30:12] <tekk91> I have ran this configuration
successfully before, but not sure if I needed to set any rules up
116[01:03:35] <format_c> So to summarize: you have a hypervisor
host (KVM) that hosts all nodes in your network + the hypervisor
itself. Before, you've had a gateway outside the hypervisor to
get to the outside. Now you have a gateway being a guest of the
hypervisor. All guests running on the hypervisor have no issues
getting internet connectivity through the guest gateway (verfied?)
with one exception: the hypervisor itself has no outside
connecvitity?
117[01:03:37] <format_c> Is this correct?
118[01:04:13] <wallacer> hmm how is the VM connected to the WAN
though?
119[01:04:26] <format_c> That would be my followup question.
129[01:11:20] <format_c> To that smells like a state machine in
between that does no state inspection on ICMP but on UDP+TCP. And
also (even though your said that the old gateway is disconnected) it
smells to me like a assymetric traffic flow with a state machine in
between which is treating ICMP stateless.
130[01:11:39] <mysonjohn> quick question, is there a way to boot
into debian netcd manually from the grub command line?
133[01:11:53] <mysonjohn> I tried to look up how to do it and
there was no info
134[01:12:32] <format_c> mysonjohn: you mean like bootin the
Grub from the disk and then boot into a (maybe afterwards inserted)
netboot CD?
135[01:12:33] <rk4> mysonjohn: that commandline has tab
complete, you can often tab your way to the right device names
136[01:13:53] <format_c> tekk: have you checked reverse routes
"behind" the old/new gateway?
137[01:13:59] <mysonjohn> Like going into the grub commandline
and manually booting into the debian cd
138[01:14:12] <tekk> reverse routes?
139[01:15:54] <format_c> Well I don't know your network
topology behind the gateway. or is it a old and the new one a stupid
PAT box to an ordinary Internet ISP?
140[01:15:56] <Gerowen> jelly: Just thought I'd let you
know everything went off without a hitch. I've now successfully
converted software RAID 1 to RAID 5, and then resized the encrypted
partition stored on it to take advantage of the extra space, all
without losing any data or having to restore from a backup or
anything.
141[01:17:24] <tekk> behind the gateway its a Fiber converter to
ethernet connected to pfSense... requires PPPoE
142[01:17:26] <format_c> Gerowen: maybe you spend it a blog post
or similar. I'd guess that some more people would be faced the
same challenge.
143[01:17:30] <tekk> behind the gateway isn't the issue
however
144[01:18:02] <Gerowen> format_c: I recorded most of it, but I
may write it out as well.
198[02:31:15] <cluelessperson> format_c, B = Byte, b = bit.
199[02:31:16] <cluelessperson> silly
200[02:34:23] <format_c> 1GByte within 60 seconds / 60 seconds
== 0,0167 GBbytes per second*1024 making GigaBytes to MegaBytes
makes 17,0667 Megabytes/s * 8 makes 136,533 MegaBits/s

395[06:31:01] <mrkramps> if not new do what sney said and get a
refurbished workstation
396[06:32:12] <sney> yeah, some dual socket xeon beast with
loads of ram is way more appropriate for general graphics/dev than
consumer gamer stuff. particularly if you want it to go for another
9 years
398[06:35:55] <sney> maybe they don't really do dual-socket

756[14:56:02] <Monodroid> for gaming stuff?
757[14:56:09] <robobox> yes, I do that

use stable.

761[14:56:37] <robobox> steam and minecraft work fine (java
version, bedrock is a broken buggy mess)
762[14:56:37] <Monodroid> is the software actual in stable? for
example i know that the driver is not.
763[14:56:50] <petn-randall> Monodroid: testing/unstable is
unreleased distro, so if you don't plan on beta-testing stuff,
I recommend sticking with stable.
764[14:57:04] <n4dir> Monodroid: there is always the
stable-backports. But in general only you can decide such
765[14:57:05] <Monodroid> chmod 775 @jak2000
766[14:57:31] <Monodroid> ok in this case i reinstall the entire
system
767[14:57:49] <Onyx47> regardless of testing or not, you do need
multiarch enabled for Steam (I run it on testing just fine, and
I'm not saying that going to stable is not a better choice for
a less experienced user, but it'll still be a requirement on
stable as well)
768[14:57:50] <n4dir> slow down. Have a deep breath and think a
bit about it

876[16:04:18] <no_gravity> Strange, "rsync -avi --checksum

though nothing changed. Any ideas why?
877[16:05:47] <ratrace> no_gravity: you'll have to reprhase
that problem
878[16:05:49] <Ede|Popede> antto: `grep`? at least if it's
search for some particular text

890[16:07:20] <no_gravity> ratrace: source/ and target/ are
identical except for timestamps of the files. I run "rsync -avi
--checksum --delete source/ target/" and it outputs all
filenames with ".f..t..... filename". I would think that
means it copied it. But why?
893[16:07:39] <oerheks> but i think you need to grep http for
your search
894[16:07:55] <Ede|Popede> oerheks: mine full all the time, i
gave up long ago using it. with some context it may be useful, but
not with just a list of URLs

896[16:09:03] <oerheks> oh,a nd my logfilename =

899[16:09:49] <ratrace> no_gravity: if there's no > or

pointer would be much appreciated.
902[16:10:30] <ratrace> in fact that . means it's not being
updated at all. check the manpage for itemized format

911[16:12:37] <antto> okay, "gedit" opened it
912[16:12:37] <no_gravity> ratrace: We are getting closer! With
"rsync -av --checksum --delete" it now is almost silent.
But it still outputs all directory names. Why that?

1145[18:15:36] <petn-randall> Sarcutus: Debian Pure Blend is
still regular Debian, just a nicer installer for those tasks.

you call me
1148[18:16:18] <Sarcutus> Thank you petn-randall ... I was
worried it was a sort of periphery project I guess. :)
1156[18:19:57] <dpkg> A Debian Pure Blend (formerly Custom Debian

particular target group out-of-the-box. Not to be confused with
distributions <based on Debian>.

1158[18:21:14] <Sarcutus> I looked this stuff up, which makes my
question even more dumb, but I wanted a community's take on it.
1159[18:22:23] <petn-randall> Sarcutus: It's unedited Debian
packages, so it's 100% supported here. Derived distros might
have changed things, or are stuck on different package versions,
which is why those are not supported here.
1160[18:22:30] <NetTerminalGene> netflix doesn't work on my
default firefox-esr. does it general problem. anyone here can watch?
1164[18:23:01] <petn-randall> NetTerminalGene: Does chromium
work? AFAIR you need encrypted media extensions, which isn't
shipped by default because it's non-free.
1165[18:23:24] <NetTerminalGene> petn-randall: i enabled it in
options
1166[18:24:34] <NetTerminalGene> there is a setting you can
enable drm in firefox-esr
1167[18:25:57] <ratrace> NetTerminalGene: I'm watching it
right now
1171[18:26:28] <NetTerminalGene> let me try again with different
settings
1172[18:26:57] <ratrace> NetTerminalGene: that said, I do
remember first time I've set up this profile, took me a while
to enable DRM. When you enable it, actually has to download it and
there's no progress report
1173[18:27:17] *** Quits: Ericounet (~Eric@replaced-ip) (Quit: Je m'en vais ...)
1174[18:27:19] <ratrace> it's possible you simply need to be
patient. also try turning the checkbox off and on again. heh, yeah,
no joke.
1175[18:27:36] <NetTerminalGene> ratrace: ok i will try
1176[18:27:44] <NetTerminalGene> ratrace: can it play 4k?
1177[18:27:49] <ratrace> no idea
1178[18:28:02] <ratrace> I only have the 1080p netflix account
anyway and no 4k screen
1205[18:41:11] <cyber> Good day all. I would like to install
debian (armhf) without gui. Should I simply install the iso-cd and
adjust after, or is there a specific iso I could try?
1225[18:54:30] <karlpinc> cyber: If you install from a netinstall
you only download software you install. If you want the firmware
that makes your hardware work, even if it's not free, you may
as well "do it the easy way". Can't say what
difference arm makes.
1232[19:05:45] <cyber> karlpinc: I'm no expert, but I enjoy
discovering anything linux. I recently bought a small usb computer
and installed the binary distro that came with it (debian). I
discovered that the kernel was missing key stuff and now I will
either compile it or try something directly from debian, and not the
manufacturer.
1294[19:57:30] <alexrelis[m]> sney: I see. Cause I'm having
this problem on my new laptop where when I suspend, sometimes it
works and other times it freezes. I have no idea what to do besides
disabling suspend which isn't quite viable.
1300[20:00:24] <sney> the amd64-microcode package hasn't
been updated since 2019, so if that's a new cpu, it probably
won't include any patches for you
1301[20:00:52] <sney> you might check for an efi update from the
laptop vendor though, that can also be a factor. and new kernel from
bpo if you aren't using it already
1302[20:01:32] <alexrelis[m]> sney: I am on Sid (sorry for asking
for advice here, I don't have an OFTC account yet)
1303[20:01:47] <quadrathoch2> shouldn't the amd microcode be
updated because of security fixes?
1304[20:01:56] <quadrathoch2> i was pretty sure in 2020 we had an
issue with amd
1308[20:03:03] <alexrelis[m]> Hopefully the UEFI on my system can
be upgraded with FreeDOS. I would have to open up my system and put
in the stock Windows drive every time there was a new update
otherwise...
1313[20:04:15] <alexrelis[m]> quadrathoch2: I heard Windows 2 Go
was depreciated.
1314[20:04:15] <quadrathoch2> but nowadays most uefis are
flashable by usb (fat32)
1315[20:04:24] <sney> alexrelis[m]: registering on oftc only
takes a few seconds, I don't know what extra steps you need
from a matrix bridge, but if you're going to use irc all the
time you might as well use a regular irc client anyway. the sid
advice in OFTC #debian-next is better because more developers/power
users idle there than here
1318[20:05:07] <sney> but anyway, modern efis are usually pretty
trivial to update. I have one in a 6-year-old board that can update
itself from a usb drive within the efi menu. there's also fwupd
1333[20:13:50] <sney> quadrathoch2: it did seem odd that there
wasn't a new microcode package since 2019, so I checked the
upstream - unlike intel, amd64-microcode comes from
kernel.org's linux-firmware repo, and there haven't been
any amd cpu microcode updates there since 2019-12-18 either.
1334[20:14:23] <sney> so any 2020 ryzen issues that could be
fixed via microcode updates are hanging out to dry, I guess. for
now.
1335[20:14:53] <ratrace> alexrelis[m]: are you sure your EFI/BIOS
thing can't read updates from USB drives directly? Mine can. I
think most modern ones can
1336[20:15:00] <ratrace> (and mine is 6 years old now)
1342[20:16:02] <alexrelis[m]> ratrace: I'm sure it can to.
But since my computer has come straight off the production line two
weeks ago, I don't think there is even an update for my system.
And if there's no microcode update I'm pretty screwed.
1445[21:05:45] <trysten> does anybody know how to punch a DNS

1448[21:12:09] <sney> you could probably run dnsmasq locally and
do your overrides there

1517[22:19:05] <Ede|Popede> aren't programs which are
automatically started after logging in into the DE supposed to
finish after the user logs out again?

1521[22:19:37] <quadrathoch2> Ede|Popede depends on how they were
started
1522[22:19:39] <Ede|Popede> i've had some in the past
already taking their time to do so, but they did in the end at least
1523[22:19:41] <greycat> what program, what DE?
1524[22:19:43] <n4dir> i guess not all. Say if i start screen or
mocp, it keeps running even if i log out
1525[22:19:59] <n4dir> xmms2 too
1526[22:20:07] <greycat> n4dir: he said "automatically"
though, which makes me think of systemd --user stuff
1527[22:20:41] <n4dir> greycat: yeah, well, you are right of
course. I thought i could start screen with the according autostart
file or setting. I gues.
1528[22:20:42] <greycat> or, like, ssh-agent, whether that's
started by systemd --user or not
1529[22:22:04] <Ede|Popede> greycat: fresh install of buster.
selected everything (maybe i'll overwrite the install at some
later point, so i'll maybe play a bit with it). had everything
available, but decided to start my well-known xfce first. and now
guess what the parent process of all these abandoned ones is.
correct, it's systemd.
1530[22:22:37] <Ede|Popede> some evolution-whatever, and mostly A
LOT of gvfs(d)-*
1531[22:24:04] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: are you checking if these
programs are still running as a different user, or as the same user
logged into a different tty?
1532[22:24:14] <Ede|Popede> it's just the basic install so
far, no mc, so quickly jumping around the fs and looking at files is
a lot of typing right now, also no htop, only top, which for some
reason cuts off even the program names :/
1533[22:24:42] <Ede|Popede> jmcnaught: logged out yesterday
already and forgot about it. running root on tty2.
1534[22:25:44] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: root login, or su/sudo?
1536[22:26:10] <Ede|Popede> su, no sudo. i have been reported
already after trying to use sudo :(
1537[22:26:43] <Ede|Popede> don't ask me how often i had to
change my root password for this machine because of sudo...
1538[22:27:05] <Ede|Popede> sometimes you still want to get a
plain root shell w/o going through user account first, and then meh.
1539[22:27:16] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: try logging out of tty2
completely and log into it as root. systemd user instances
(systemctl --user …) are not per session, they are per user.
So if you are still logged into another session as that user it
would probably leave it running.
1540[22:29:13] <Ede|Popede> jmcnaught: i only had the DE running
for the user. opening a root shell in another tty is sth i usually
do with new installation to check for oddities like this one.
1541[22:29:32] <Ede|Popede> so no, only root logged in so far.
user account isn't running since yesterday.
1542[22:30:07] <Ede|Popede> i remembered this behaviour from the
past, so i decided to give it some time to finish, but even now
it's still running.
1543[22:30:49] <Ede|Popede> but ok, i'll leave even with
root. should it stop it then, this *really* would be... phew...
1544[22:31:31] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: so "loginctl
list-users" does not list your user and there is still a
systemd user instance running for the user?
1545[22:32:38] <Ede|Popede> jmcnaught: it lists my user, but why?
i'm logged out, everything running wasn't started by me
1546[22:32:55] <Ede|Popede> even if it's autostart, like
mailchecker and the like, shouldn't it finish with the DE
logout?
1549[22:33:44] <Ede|Popede> iirc i had to kill a certain gvfs
process in the situation i had in the past which then took the
others with it
1550[22:34:07] <Ede|Popede> evolution-* is something i would
suspect blocking everything else
1551[22:34:14] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: systemd user instances are
not per-session, you had two sessions open for one user. You closed
one. One is still open. So the systemd user instance remains.
1552[22:34:17] <n4dir> i sure remember gvfs being such a pain
that i always end uninstalling it altogether. Whatever it takes with
it
1553[22:34:35] <Ede|Popede> jmcnaught: why two?
1554[22:35:49] <jmcnaught> Ede|Popede: I thought that you said
you were logged into another terminal (besides the xfce one) as root
but you used su. If you used su, that does not close the original
user's session.
1555[22:36:58] <Ede|Popede> err.. not su, now i got it. logged in
directly. usually i don't use text terminals, unless i have to
check something or get around starting a user session. no, it was
direct login.
1556[22:37:12] <Ede|Popede> seems i'm thinking too much in
su vs. sudo terms
1557[22:38:01] <Ede|Popede> and: tracker-miner-fs is a REALLY bad
name. triggers some warning synapses
1558[22:38:27] <greycat> ... and people wonder why I don't
use a DE
1563[22:41:41] <Ede|Popede> agent (something geoclue) and also
applet.py are also running. checking...
1564[22:42:28] <n4dir> geoclue you can disable in the xfce
settings manager (that gui thing)
1565[22:45:46] <Ede|Popede> first time i ever noticed it. here
(still on stretch for the moment) i don't have it at least, and
as i said, i threw all available DMs to the other PC these days,
just because i have the diskspace.
1566[22:46:12] <Ede|Popede> so even worse than just going with
the metapackage for a DE, i did it with all of them!
1567[22:47:11] *** Quits: MikeDebian (~none@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1568[22:47:26] <Ede|Popede> and of course i checked everything in
the settings menu, though i tried not to change anything, only
switched to a dark theme for convenience. but i was surprised how
much was listed already in all these autostart lists and whatever
there may be around.
1569[22:48:48] <Ede|Popede> now i wish i'd play Kalto. then
i'd know which one to stop to finish this nightmare ;)
1580[23:12:00] <Ede|Popede> oh. well. everything broken in xfce
now. the 3 icons i left are mid-screen, no panel visible, the menu
text is white on light-grey.
1581[23:12:36] <jhutchins> I told somebody that I'd
installed Acrobat on Linux. Well, I did once upon a time, but they
stopped supporting it in 2013, and it doesn't look like they
have started again even though they support Android. At least
Android only has one distribution, even if they do have a broad
range of versions.
1582[23:13:38] <zutat> the android app costs like 40 eur/month if
you opt in for all features
1594[23:17:34] <sney> pre-creative cloud. the last version that
was just an application on disk that didn't need to phone home
for updates every 5 minutes
1595[23:17:46] <sney> I think it was version 9 or 10
1596[23:18:46] <sney> (canadian government forms use adobe-only
features and will not even open in okular/evince/etc)
1597[23:18:46] <Ede|Popede> out and back in. according to the
login dialog i accessed this session last time, not a couple of
minutes ago? oO
1603[23:21:57] <Ede|Popede> funny. just removed the "save
session" checkbox before logging out (saved the session last
time so i have something to choose from at login), and now the
checkbox *is* unchecked. so the change was written to the config, it
still claimed that i didn't use this session today.
1604[23:22:08] <jhutchins> I'm not a big fan of "all
your data are belong to us" systems. "Oh, and we're
shutting down tomorrow."
1627[23:36:32] <Ede|Popede> so i had 3 runs of xfce in total and
now the same number of running instances of both geoclue agent and
system-config-printer/applet.py. coincidence? conspiracy? a sign?
we'll find out right after the break.
1635[23:41:46] <jhutchins> Ede|Popede: I wouldn't recommend
it.
1636[23:41:55] <Ede|Popede> and why?
1637[23:42:00] <jhutchins> Especially if you are encrypting.
1638[23:42:12] <Ede|Popede> i don't think the concrete wall
behind me will tell it to anyone
1639[23:42:39] <Ede|Popede> computers are used at home these days
1640[23:42:59] <zutat> homes are also computers now
1641[23:43:06] <Ede|Popede> if someone can hack me by reading the
pw on the screen i definitely have other problems
1642[23:43:24] <Ede|Popede> smart homes for dumb people, yes
1643[23:44:06] <jhutchins> If they can read the screen directly
they don't need the password.
1644[23:44:12] <Ede|Popede> a house full of IoT is what mobile
phones have been in the 90s or a sports car in the 70s. actually
used by some, but for most just an addon to their ego
1645[23:45:03] <Ede|Popede> a password on a screen is only a
problem if someone is able to read it who shouldn't be able to
read it
