11[00:17:28] <ratrace> retroactively nowhere. but you can prime the system for a future crash. export the log to another machine, re-run memtest for at least a day if you haven't, check disks
41[00:49:17] <kingsley> Can you suggest a nice, user friendly package, with a GUI tool, that reveals the contents of all sessions recorded to a multisession DVD?
77[01:28:37] <deadrom> kingsley: I was pulling your leg. I am surprised that soemone still uses them at all, and then such a fancy features such as multisession. I wasn't even aware DVD does muti-session, thoguht that was for DVD-RAM. But to aid you in your quest, I'd expect writer programs for optical media to give you the information on the sessions

243[04:51:31] <Grobo> I'm trying to set sshd options for a specific user. I have a .conf file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d but it doesn't seem to be working.
244[04:52:12] <Grobo> Specifically, I have: PasswordAuthentication no (newline) AuthenticationMethods publickey
245[04:52:18] <Grobo> But the user can still log in with their password
251[05:03:49] <alkisg> Grobo: I've noticed that when I put some entries under sshd_config.d/blah.conf, they don't work (while others do), yet when I put them directly in sshd_config, they do work. Can you test if the same settings in the main configuration file work? (do restart sshd to test)
259[05:09:05] <somiaj> could this be the sshd_config is read after sshd_config.d, thus things there would overwrite previous settings?
260[05:09:54] <somiaj> hmm, I notice here that I don't have sshd_config.d by default, did you have to add a read line to sshd_config for that to work?
261[05:10:46] <somiaj> Grobo: in sshd_config, do you have the line, "Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf", if so where is it in relation to other settings?
262[05:11:29] <somiaj> I just notice that none of my systems here have that
263[05:12:05] <alkisg> somiaj: e.g. this is on top of bullseye's config: Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf
264[05:12:21] <alkisg> Maybe it wasn't there in buster, and it's in testing only
265[05:13:29] <Grobo> Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf -- it's at the beginning
266[05:15:53] <somiaj> so that means configuration options in sshd_config will override options in sshd_config.d
267[05:16:05] <Grobo> oh?
268[05:16:08] <somiaj> alkisg: ahh nice, yea it isn't here in buster
269[05:16:30] <somiaj> Grobo: yea, since it is at the top, those are all read first, then sshd_config is read second, so if there is ever a conflict, the second read will take presedence (my guess)
270[05:16:55] <Grobo> hmm
271[05:16:55] <alkisg> Good guess, Grobo if you want, try to put that include at the bottom...
272[05:17:25] <alkisg> (or put the settings at the end of the main file to check that one first)
273[05:17:32] <somiaj> this would also explain alkisg observation that some things work and others don't
280[05:19:33] <somiaj> Grobo: if you put the Include at the bottom of the sshd_config file does it then work?
281[05:19:57] <Grobo> No
282[05:20:26] <somiaj> Okay, guess my guess was wrong, but look at that bug, aperentally this was a bug in upstream, replaced-url
283[05:21:37] <somiaj> hmm, well that bug report says this was supose to be fixed in 8.4 which is the bullseye version, but it appears the issue is still somewhat present.
284[05:21:45] <somiaj> There really isn't much info on the debian bug though.
285[05:21:56] <alkisg> Grobo: which sshd version do you have?
286[05:22:17] <somiaj> well 8.4p1, wonder what the p1 means in the upstream version
287[05:23:01] <Grobo> OpenSSH_8.2p1
288[05:23:11] <somiaj> Grobo: what version of debian are you running?
314[05:27:36] <somiaj> anyways, your system is out dated, It appears the bug you have should be fixed in 8.4
315[05:28:10] <somiaj> alkisg: well hopefully on your 8.4 system you don't run into that bug anymore either.
316[05:28:23] <somiaj> at least if the upstream bugreport is correct that it was fixed
317[05:29:28] <alkisg> somiaj: yeah possibly; unfortunately I reported the bug for a software I develop, ltsp, not for my local configuration, so I can't use it in ltsp until it's supported in all debian releases, i.e. in 6 years or so :)
318[05:30:02] <alkisg> I wanted to drop a conffile at sshd_config.d from the ltsp package
420[09:24:14] <shtrb> Is there a better option to check the current loaded nvidia driver info than "grep -i "NVIDIA GLX Module" /var/log/Xorg.0.log " ? tried modinfo nvidia but it failed
421[09:24:14] <jim> that worked fine :)
422[09:24:53] <jim> shtrb, maybe grep the output of lsmod?
432[09:28:05] <shtrb> is modinfo simply don't work for non GPL modules ?
433[09:28:40] <somiaj> I don't see why it won't work, but it more likely gives you info about the module on the disk vs the one loaded in memeory (if there is a version difference)
441[09:41:04] <somiaj> it is probably depmod (or some other thing) that puts all the module information in a location modinfo can find the module without a full path isn't being updated for that module
444[09:42:41] <somiaj> though that only gives you info about the module on the disk, not the one loaded in memeory, so I think dmesg is probably better for that

460[09:48:35] <somiaj> and if ssh isn't running, you can try ping, almost sounds like xorg has crashed, or it could be that you are running low on memeory and everythign is beign swapped, that can make things appear to come to a halt
461[09:49:08] <antto> just before it froze, it started thinking intensively for a bit (i heard fans spinning up) and then it stopped thinking, now the red LED periodically blinks on
462[09:49:30] <shtrb> could be X missbehaving

464[09:50:38] <antto> i *think* there's ping to it
478[10:00:03] <somiaj> okay, yea memeory is fine, guess something else has caused your xorg to crash. What type of upgrade where you doing?
479[10:01:06] <shtrb> how much free disk space do you have ? xorg can crash or lock if there is no disk space for the current logged in user
480[10:01:18] <antto> hadn't booted this debian since a long time, i Reloaded and Marked all upgrades.. there were many new versions of things, firefox v68 to 78 or so, for example, also, new versions of the kernel, grub, etc..
481[10:01:33] <antto> not sure about disk space :/
482[10:01:51] <somiaj> antto: what version of debian do you run?
483[10:01:58] <antto> 10
484[10:02:09] <somiaj> do you mean firefox-esr?
485[10:02:15] <antto> yes
486[10:02:24] <antto> the one from synaptic
487[10:02:36] <somiaj> I guess there have been a point release, just making sure you weren't trying to say mix stable/testing
488[10:02:59] <antto> no, it's debian stable
489[10:03:16] <somiaj> anyways, you might just need to reboot the machine and then see if you can fix the upgrade using apt (generally better to use for this anyways)
490[10:04:04] <antto> somiaj, from last time i had upgrades to be interrupted, i remembered that this will break my grub at least
491[10:04:09] <somiaj> It could be that maybe some xorg packages and various things were upgraded, and the upgrade caused a problem while running xorg. It is often suggested you at a minimum run upgrades in screen/tmux just in case xorg crashes during the upgrade (as you see it can happen)
492[10:04:10] <antto> i wanna avoid this
493[10:04:29] <antto> hm
494[10:04:58] <somiaj> since you didn't run the upgrade in screen/tmux and it is stuck in a crashed xorg, I don't know of a way to recover it. I guess you could try to kill xorg and all the offending processes then see if you can finish the upgrade from over ssh (I just suggested a reboot since it was the easiet to get back to a nice clean state)
496[10:06:09] <antto> i don't know about this screen/tmux, isn't that h4x0r-grade stuff?
497[10:06:17] <somiaj> !screen
498[10:06:17] <dpkg> screen is a terminal multiplexor, allowing you to have n terminals and easily switch between them, add key bindings, scroll back, copy/paste and lets you resume all your sessions if your terminal dies or are disconnected. See /usr/share/doc/screen/README.Debian and ask about <screen tutorial>, <byobu>. See replaced-url
499[10:07:01] <antto> i'm more a GUI click-clackz0r :/
500[10:07:08] <somiaj> basically it just lets you run a terminal that isn't attached to a specifc tty/pty, so if say in this case xorg crashed, you could reattach yourself to the running screen/tmux session in the same state.
501[10:07:42] <antto> but i upgraded via synaptic
502[10:07:43] <somiaj> I would suggest in the future trying to learn a little bit about the cli, as doing these types of upgrades from apt inside a screen/tmux session could avoid some of these issues in the future.
504[10:08:02] <somiaj> yea in this case, since it appears your xorg has crashed, it took synaptic with it.
505[10:08:19] <somiaj> I don't know of any way to recover that (it might be possible but I don't think so)
506[10:08:48] <antto> if i just press the reset button, grub is gonna be broken, isn't it?
507[10:08:56] *** Grldfrdom_ is now known as Grldfrdom
508[10:09:14] <somiaj> hard to say, it really depends on where during the upgrade it crashed.
509[10:09:24] *** Grldfrdom is now known as Grldfrdom_
510[10:09:26] <somiaj> there is a good chance it will be fine, but again it depends.
511[10:09:28] <antto> it froze in the middle of "reading changelogs"
512[10:09:54] <somiaj> It might just have been waiting for you to hit okay, so that is probably a decent place as it wasn't in the middle of doing things, but waiting to start doing things.
513[10:09:54] <antto> with progress bar at about 60-70%

580[12:13:21] <shtrb> drop the default gw and dns records , have a static route to your vpn
581[12:13:29] <shtrb> Botyuba, ^
582[12:14:35] <Botyuba> shtrb: so i can only connect to one of the vpn's servers?
583[12:14:39] <shtrb> yep
584[12:15:10] <shtrb> you can even add a rule in your firwall to drop any outgoing connection to anything other than your vpn server ip
585[12:17:25] <Botyuba> so i could in theory put a DROP policy for in and outgoing, and then only have exceptions for each and every vpn server as well as my lan?
586[12:18:12] <Botyuba> i think lan is just 0.0.0.0 and then i add additional exceptions for each and every vpn server i want to add
587[12:18:32] <Botyuba> i am using the classical iptables directly as a firewall
595[12:26:34] <shtrb> If your vpn provide you routes and a tap access it's even easier to block everything and allow traffic only via the tap device
596[12:27:44] <Botyuba> Ah, i understand now, so tap, so i i understand the penultimate statement correctly, i should use 192.168.1.0/24 to refere to lan instead
597[12:28:35] <shtrb> (*) If that's your network, you can also ask at ##networking if you don't get answers here fast enough
598[12:28:40] <Botyuba> wouldn't 192.168.1.0/24 still refer to EVERYTHING as the router is incluided there too?
660[14:13:52] <EdePopede> couldn't use youtube-dl for maybe an hour now (the open programs all are running on a .fritz.box host though), lsof showed me it was running on a weird numbered hostname?
661[14:14:20] <kirk781> maybe youtube changed the API again and youtube-dl needs to be updated
664[14:15:59] <EdePopede> i also tried different versions i still have here and some other sites (which were working yesterday), and nothing changed since
665[14:16:09] <EdePopede> it's definitely the dns thing
681[14:39:53] <EdePopede> what *could* add "-5" (like it did before) or maybe some other number to the hostname? and who decides what hosts a program uses when it's started?
702[14:52:50] <ratrace> however, avahi wasn't LP's original project, he joined his mdns implementation with it later
703[14:53:26] <phogg> he works on other stuff, but those are the big headline items
704[14:53:35] <ratrace> pulseaudio is dead. long live pipewire and 10 more years of half-assed half-buggy audio server until it matures and we can kill it and start writing NodeAudio from scratch!
719[14:56:05] <EdePopede> technicalle i even have 2, i just don't use them
720[14:56:13] <ratrace> been there, done that. two box of tissues later, I switched to i3-wm and carefully crafted UI environment.
721[14:56:13] <phogg> EdePopede: Does this sound familiar? "$a was working, then it stopped. I found that $b was running, so I removed it. Now $a works again." You can use "name resolution" or "playing audio" for $a, and "avahi" or "pulse" for $b.
722[14:56:23] <EdePopede> don't print for just 2 weeks and you can buy new ink
724[14:56:36] <phogg> For his third attempt he was cleverer and made the fix much harder.
725[14:57:49] <EdePopede> the thing is firefox/hexchat are using host.fritz.box for their connections, youtube-dl suddenly was running on host-5.fritz.box. then suddenly it was ok again. i suppose that's the 2 blocks of entries i found in syslog.
726[14:57:56] <ratrace> good thing IBM nixed it and is now reinventing all the bugs via PipeWire
727[14:58:07] <phogg> In all seriousness I think pipewire is here to stay, unless something fundamentally changes in the demands of the audio world. I don't see any fundamental problems with it that can't be solved.
728[14:58:21] <ratrace> that was said for pulseaudio
729[14:58:23] <EdePopede> ping and traceroute on host-5 didn't even work btw.
730[14:58:28] <phogg> ratrace: never by me
731[14:58:34] <ratrace> I was there when lenny said it, on a conference. and all I got was a lousy t-shirt!
732[14:58:43] <ratrace> *at a conference
733[14:58:49] <phogg> ratrace: pulseaudio had some pretty obvious deficiencies from the very start
734[14:59:05] <ratrace> yeah
735[14:59:15] <ratrace> it got all the hate because distros pushed it out before it was ready
736[14:59:18] <phogg> ratrace: you have to take what he says as marketing speak. I think he gets paid for every install or something.
744[15:00:27] <EdePopede> i understand that it doesn't work on my 80s hifi, since it's a simple mechanical solution there. so i was surprised to see it's possible on linux. and then there came pulseaudio.
745[15:00:35] <ratrace> when the BadThings start overtaking GoodThings in systemd and people will have had enough.
746[15:00:50] <phogg> ratrace: there are without a doubt fundamental flaws and an appetite for a better-designed system which accomplishes some of the same technical feats without the politics and drama. In that way it is much like pulse.
747[15:01:04] <EdePopede> like with dropping MS Office in the gov after 20 years?
748[15:01:14] <ratrace> EdePopede: the joke is that Alsa later got the ability to multichannel so (one of the) initial premise for PA was busted shortly later

755[15:02:49] <phogg> EdePopede: it's still good to hear. Governments certainly should be striving in that direction by policy, however little they succeed.
756[15:03:04] <EdePopede> their excuse to return to MS was "our office workers were not able to use LibreOffice" or something that stupid
757[15:03:20] <EdePopede> phogg: data protection. MS never will be able to guarantee it.
758[15:04:02] <EdePopede> and then the problems using old files. i should still have something around from word 4. i doubt their newest product will be able to open them :)
759[15:04:34] <EdePopede> ratrace: don't forget, their prefered place to do even politics is in a beer tent ;)
760[15:04:36] <phogg> EdePopede: MS Office is actually a lot like Unix. A collection of generic utilities that the end user can combine in useful ways to solve a much larger number of problems.
762[15:04:46] <ratrace> EdePopede: har har har! :)
763[15:04:57] <shtrb> phogg, flipping to FOSS is not always really in FOSS favor, I know of a certain municipally department that had Open Source activists code for them to develop a system that was used only by that department and the activists didn't get payed (the code should still be at github or something like that)
764[15:04:59] <phogg> EdePopede: It's just too bad that they forgot "do one thing well" and "operate on streams of text."
765[15:05:46] <ratrace> but it wasn't a tent originally, 'twas a beer hall. Bürgerbräukeller. :)
766[15:05:46] <phogg> shtrb: I still call it a good thing. In the long run governments must move away from closed software, or nationalize the companies they buy it from.

768[15:06:01] <EdePopede> a lot of bug fixes which never happened, a lot of features (read: code) implemented in the core.
771[15:06:43] <shtrb> phogg, the problem is it's a project that will not be used by anyone and is no more than a hobby project that the devs did not get payed for it
772[15:07:26] <EdePopede> important FOSS projects should definitely get tax support.
773[15:07:41] <shtrb> tax support ? people need to pay rent and pay for food
774[15:07:47] <phogg> shtrb: sounds like most software to me
776[15:08:16] <EdePopede> there's a *need* for software meeting certain criteria and commercial software won't be able to fulfill them all. never ever.

785[15:11:12] <EdePopede> phogg: even more if as a government you want to keep backdoors alive to get around privacy tools

948[17:44:39] <EdePopede> Peyam: once i had some /etc/hosts redirects which blocked already a lot of ads. and then a script blocker, never used a "real" adblocker.
958[18:02:20] <unixbsd> somiaj: it seems that he is not there today, anyhow, here the amd64 edition that would give him a fix for his LVM: replaced-url
959[18:03:14] <blackroot> i chmod'ed a file to 444, not i cant chmod, chown or delete the file. what do i do?
960[18:03:32] <Peyam> petn-randall, I was not satisfied with that thing and now I can not remove it
963[18:04:04] <jelly> blackroot, what is the complete path to that file and does the user have write permissions for the _directory_ where that file is?
992[18:19:34] <jelly> Peyam, if they don't have uninstallation instructions, you'll probably have to restore the original /etc/hosts file manually and remove the directory with the code, and the files their installation method placed on your system
1009[18:28:49] <somiaj> though unsure if it adds your domain name if you ahve internet durning the install, but fairly minimial and easy to edit if you nee to change it
1065[19:51:29] <cybrNaut> the filename slightly differs. I downloaded "debian-edu-testing-amd64-BD-1.iso", but the SHA256SUMS file gives the hash for "debian-edu-bullseye-DI-rc1-amd64-BD-1.iso"
1066[19:51:48] <petn-randall> They're not the same contents, either.
1067[19:52:09] <petn-randall> cybrNaut: Doesn't the torrent come with it's own SHA256SUM and signature?
1068[19:52:18] <cybrNaut> obviously. this is the bad file => replaced-url
1069[19:52:51] <cybrNaut> petn-randall: the torrent is broken
1071[19:54:35] <somiaj> why are you using the weekly builds and not rc1?
1072[19:56:29] <cybrNaut> not sure.. i think i was unable to find the rc1 file. it was quite a search just to find a Bullseye ISO.
1073[19:56:46] <sney> !testing installer
1074[19:56:47] <dpkg> Repeat after me: the testing installer is for testing the <installer>, not for installing <testing>. To install testing, do a minimal installation using the <stable> installer and ask me about <stable->testing>. Installer bugs should be filed against the debian-installer pseudopackage. replaced-url
1075[19:57:04] <sney> it's pretty reliable atm, but expecting release quality from a pre-release installer is only setting yourself up
1076[19:57:06] <somiaj> You might want to wait for the release, it could be the issue you are running into is just due to these weekly builds
1079[19:57:39] <sney> if you can reproduce the same checksum issue with a buster installer then please file a bug, otherwise it'll most likely come out in the wash
1102[20:25:10] <Reviziis> Hey guys.. Just installed Debian 10 XFCE using the non-free iso. I noticed in synaptic that there's a ton of hunspell stuff installed. What's the easiest way to completely remove all hunspell stuff without having to manually select everything in synaptic....
1112[20:27:55] <sney> if you aren't short on disk space, it may be wiser to just disable spell checking in whatever application you're using where it bothers you
1115[20:29:40] <Reviziis> Thanks for the tips :) Might just leave it installed. Was only going to uninstall it because the system will mainly be used for gaming, YouTube & discord....
1116[20:29:48] <RoyK> ratrace: I just wondered why that wasn't in the manual, really
1117[20:30:08] <ratrace> RoyK: it should be. Are you reffering to the new, 2.0+ manual, or the old one?
1118[20:30:13] <RoyK> lz4 has been default for years, so I thought it would still be that, but after splitting up the manpages, I can't find it
1119[20:30:27] <RoyK> this is buster
1120[20:30:34] <RoyK> nothing fancy
1121[20:31:05] <ratrace> RoyK: yes the split up manpages are a damned shame, nothing can be found now
1122[20:31:30] <ratrace> I have ZERO clue where the properties are documented, and iirc the default should be mentioned for the dataset property "compression"
1124[20:32:00] <RoyK> I guess some smartass found that they were too long and just split them without adding hints on where to find the stuff
1125[20:32:16] <ratrace> indeed. systemd at least has the grep'able systemd.directives(5)
1126[20:32:42] <ratrace> and to think ZFS originated in the BSD land that laughed at linux for lack of good manpages. TROLOLO merry had a little lamb and what goes around comes around.
1127[20:32:55] <ratrace> (yea yeah, solaris ain't bsd, I know)
1130[20:33:44] <RoyK> ratrace: zfs came from opensolaris and was adopted by freebsd and is now more or less the same across platforms
1131[20:33:50] <ratrace> AH! here we go. zfsprops(8)
1132[20:34:00] <ratrace> RoyK: I know, I've been there at the beginning ;)
1133[20:34:09] *** Quits: ov3rmind (~over0-07@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1134[20:34:37] <RoyK> hm current default compression algorithm is either lzjb or, if the lz4_compress feature is enabled, lz4.
1135[20:34:50] <ratrace> and that one's enabled since v5000 iirc
1136[20:35:24] <RoyK> but zfs get compression only shows on, without saying anything about whether lz4 is enabled or not
1137[20:35:32] <RoyK> I guess it's lz4, though
1138[20:35:34] <ratrace> check zpool properties
1139[20:36:49] <ratrace> zpool get feature@lz4_compress <pool>
1140[20:36:58] <RoyK> extern feature@lz4_compress active local
1141[20:36:59] <RoyK> extern feature@zstd_compress enabled local
1142[20:37:11] <RoyK> that's from zpool get all
1143[20:37:12] <ratrace> yah zstd is now a thing with zfs
1144[20:37:36] <ratrace> BUT it's underwhelming. ZSTD is good only if you want to beat GZ compressratio at the price of some speed
1145[20:37:43] <ratrace> if speed is neeed, lz4 still is the king
1146[20:37:53] <ratrace> zstd is at lz4 speed but at much lower compressratio
1147[20:38:13] <RoyK> I've used lz4 for about a decade and I know it works ;)
1148[20:38:18] <ratrace> same here
1149[20:38:52] <RoyK> I guess 'active' is the one activated and 'enabled' is just 'hanging arund'?
1150[20:38:59] <unixbsd> cd
1151[20:39:09] <RoyK> ~>
1152[20:40:10] <ratrace> RoyK: yes
1153[20:40:49] <ratrace> RoyK: enabled also implies versioning. eg, a pool with that enabled cannot be imported with the .ko versio that doesn't support it
1262[23:00:04] <Diagon> Anyone have experience with btrbk? In particular privilege separation with btrfs-progs-btrbk?
1263[23:00:54] <Diagon> This is a patch-set for btrfs-progs. I'm wondering why not just write a bunch of scripts for eg btrfs-subvolume-show and the like.
1264[23:01:13] *** Quits: Gerowen (~Gerowen@replaced-ip) (Remote host closed the connection)
1265[23:02:09] <sney> binary tools can be faster and have fewer runtime dependencies than scripts.
1266[23:02:33] <sney> but for btrfs internals/development discussion, you might have better results in #btrfs. #debian is more of an existing usage/support channel.
1267[23:03:11] <Diagon> Well, btrbk is actually just a script, so ... ?
1268[23:03:45] <Diagon> Not sure if #btrfs has much connection to btrbk, but ... I suppose I could try there, thanks.
1311[23:50:46] <Mister00X> at this point in time probably by upgrading to buster..... but maybe someone else here has a better idea. The switch from oldstable to stable should be save though
