why is there an %admin entry in default sudoers if there's no admin group by default?
llutz 2017-02-24 02:51:14
anddam: backward compatibility
Pici 2017-02-24 02:51:29
anddam: We used to use the admin group instead of the sudo group.

on 14.04 lts, apache is not loading the envvars. I'v rebooted the machine. result is same. how to improve on this one ?
Haris 2017-02-24 02:52:54
:%s/apache/apache2/
anddam 2017-02-24 02:54:28
shouldn't user belong to users group by default?
anddam 2017-02-24 02:55:36
I want to let local client rsync to a folder in /srv so I'm tihnking of adding them to users and make the folder group-writeable
Haris 2017-02-24 03:01:26
on 14.04 lts, what does one do if apache2 is not loading envvars?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:02:13
switch to nginx?
akik 2017-02-24 03:02:13
anddam: please don't suggest things like that
anddam 2017-02-24 03:02:13
it was meant as funny remark
akik 2017-02-24 03:02:13
!funny
ubottu 2017-02-24 03:02:13
You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question.
anddam 2017-02-24 03:02:28
but I have all the contempt of this world for apache httpd documentation, it's always been hell to read
anddam 2017-02-24 03:02:47
duly noted
Pici 2017-02-24 03:03:21
Haris: What exactly do you mean that apache2 is not loading envvars? What are you trying to accomplish?
Haris 2017-02-24 03:03:54
pici: apache is returning zero sized response
Haris 2017-02-24 03:03:59
as per the client end

Hi, anyone knows if it's possible to add ubuntu into my CPU?
Pici 2017-02-24 03:04:13
Haris: and why do you think that is an env variable problem?
Haris 2017-02-24 03:04:16
within the local server, apache is working ok. but its responses are not reaching outside the machine
Haris 2017-02-24 03:05:04
when I manually run apache2, it complains saying;
Haris 2017-02-24 03:05:05
AH00526: Syntax error on line 74 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Haris 2017-02-24 03:05:06
Invalid Mutex directory in argument file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}
RxMcDonald 2017-02-24 03:05:18
Is there a way to make ubuntu work inside the CPU of the computer?
Haris 2017-02-24 03:05:31
when I start apache, it starts ok, but its responses are only available on the server itself. Not on the Network
Pici 2017-02-24 03:05:40
Haris: how did you start apache?
tarball 2017-02-24 03:05:49
hello everyone! what is the correct format of dd wipe command so that I don't get 'no space left on device'?
Haris 2017-02-24 03:06:18
I ran /etc/init.d/apache2 restart for normal start. I ran apache manually by running 'apache2'
Pici 2017-02-24 03:07:04
Haris: try stopping your apache2 processes and then using sudo service apache2 start instead.
mrnull_ 2017-02-24 03:07:13

Just trying to find a distro to install on my laptop
Haris 2017-02-24 03:09:36
I stopped apache service. no processes are running
Haris 2017-02-24 03:10:00
but, when I restart apache, the situation is same
Haris 2017-02-24 03:10:13
I checked netstat -na output. I checked ps auxwwww|less output
Pici 2017-02-24 03:10:29
Haris: and you started it using the service command?
Haris 2017-02-24 03:10:40
no
Haris 2017-02-24 03:10:43
using the init script
Haris 2017-02-24 03:10:48
trying with service command
Haris 2017-02-24 03:12:35
apache restarted with service command. its getting request. sending response. but its response is not leaving the machine
Haris 2017-02-24 03:13:03
its like having an outbound firewall on the box
Haris 2017-02-24 03:13:10
but iptables rules are empty

ikonia 2017-02-24 03:17:02
ubuntu site on a phone ??
ikonia 2017-02-24 03:17:11
packages aren't hosted on the ubuntu site

Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:22:31
i have xubuntu and i would like to replace it with ubuntu
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:22:34
how do i go about it /
anddam 2017-02-24 03:23:00
don't they differ only in XFCE vs GNOME?
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:23:01
in gparted, i see that there is a seperate partition for home
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:23:36
how would i know in which partition xubuntu was installed ?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:23:42
Castor_T: if you don't mind losing current setting you can just install on root
anddam 2017-02-24 03:24:38
Castor_T: mount | grep " / "
anddam 2017-02-24 03:25:14
or lsblk -f and check the mountpoint /
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:25:26
mount | grep " / "
anddam 2017-02-24 03:25:30
yes, that's the command I suggested
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:25:30
/dev/sda4 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:25:30
Castor_T: just install ubuntu-desktop, then remove xfce later if you want to
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:25:30
it returned. ^^
anddam 2017-02-24 03:25:30
there you go
pimpMyNick 2017-02-24 03:25:30
I want to lock one of my hard disk partition so that no one can see its contents rather cthan me. Is there any way in ubuntu?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:25:30
Castor_T: I'd do just what ducasse suggested
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:25:30
a few days ago i downloaded ubuntu and burnt the iso in a bootable usb
SwedeMike 2017-02-24 03:25:34
pimpMyNick: yes, permissions and encryption.
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:25:43
how to do what ducasse suggeted ? i hve bootable iso
anddam 2017-02-24 03:25:52
ducasse: he won't listen anymore, he's a reformatting-machine-on-a-mission now
pimpMyNick 2017-02-24 03:26:04
SwedeMike, a bit more explanation would be helpful. Thanks
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:26:10
Castor_T: you don't need any iso
anddam 2017-02-24 03:26:17
Castor_T: ubuntu-desktop is likely a package, do you know how to install packages?
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:26:29
double click some .deb file ?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:26:51
ducasse: btw how's the conflict in session manager (if any) resolved?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:27:02
ducasse: I mean assuming xfce isn't using gdm
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:27:08
Castor_T: 'sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop', then log out and select unity from the menu
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:27:10
the reason i want to go to ubuntu is because every time i boot into xubuntu, i see an alert asking me to report a problem. its annonying
anddam 2017-02-24 03:27:28
I'd rather fix that issue than change DE
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:27:41
can you guide me how to do that anddam ?
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:28:06
anddam: not session manager, display manager. lightdm has a menu for selecting which one you want.
SwedeMike 2017-02-24 03:28:19
pimpMyNick: you can change permissions with "chown" and "chmod" where the partition is mounted, so only you can enter the directory. You can encrypt the drive so that you have to unlock it with a password on boot/mount.
pimpMyNick 2017-02-24 03:29:39
thanks SwedeMike
anddam 2017-02-24 03:29:43
ducasse: isn't GNOME default using gdm?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:29:53
ah my bad
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:30:03
anddam: ubuntu default is not gnome
anddam 2017-02-24 03:31:30
ducasse: mmm maybe I meant Unity?
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:31:30
$ sudo rm /var/crash/* says command not found ?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:31:30
I'm on that anyway
anddam 2017-02-24 03:31:30
Castor_T: solving the issue? not sure since I don't know what it is
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:31:30
anddam: yep, and that uses lightdm, same as xfce
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:31:30
according to an article i was reading, i see some files in crash
anddam 2017-02-24 03:31:30
ducasse: ok, I'm aware a single DM can handle different session, but what for a package that would pull a different DM?
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:31:30
i will remove them and restart
anddam 2017-02-24 03:31:30
mmm I figure those packages would have a conflict
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:31:44
removed the crash files, i will check on next restart
Castor_T 2017-02-24 03:31:52
also, do any of you use dropbox on xubuntu ?
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:32:26
anddam: and will ask you which dm you want if one is already installed
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:32:40
*and=it
anddam 2017-02-24 03:33:31
like in a package configure step?
tarball 2017-02-24 03:34:37
hello again, I suppose I can run memtest from bios, too, without a hdd, right?
anddam 2017-02-24 03:35:12
tarball: unlikely
anddam 2017-02-24 03:35:39
tarball: unless you mean UEFI in place of BIOS
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:35:45
tarball: you need to boot some image that has it
anddam 2017-02-24 03:35:51
tarball: I'd suggest a live system with memtest
anddam 2017-02-24 03:36:21
ducasse: UEFI should able to run PE programs directly, so he could copy it on ESP and jump into EFI shell
tarball 2017-02-24 03:36:43
anddam, ah, all right. thank you!
ducasse 2017-02-24 03:37:08
anddam: he would still need media for that, he asked "without hdd"
anddam 2017-02-24 03:37:15
oh right!
anddam 2017-02-24 03:37:28
and left without a clue on how bad my advice was
