Hey I have a fan on /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/pwm1 How can I turn on manual control without using pwmconfig
kubast2 2017-03-03 03:46:23
when I run pwmconfig the fans get to max speed ,but the chassis fans don't really get back to standard speed
kubast2 2017-03-03 03:46:24
so I'm not sure if it really works
ikevin 2017-03-03 03:47:17
kubast2, see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed
ikevin 2017-03-03 03:48:16
kubast2, it's for thinkpad so the procedure will be the "same" for other fan type

hi - if i have 4 nics in my interfaces file .. can i just add source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d to the very bottom of the file? or do i have to add it in for each nic?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 03:55:50
how do I get rid of a wrong DNS server entry? "nmcli dev show" shows me that IP6.DNS[1] has an invalid/old entry
BluesKaj 2017-03-03 03:58:11
Christoph_vW, which ubuntu?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 03:58:29
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 03:59:18
Christoph_vW is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dns-troubleshooting.html
finexbeer 2017-03-03 03:59:18
how cancel cache on ubuntu
BluesKaj 2017-03-03 04:01:06
in your text editor with root permissions, open /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head a,nd remove the dns nameserver or replace it with the correct one, Christoph_vW
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:01:19
finexbeer, "how cancel cache on ubuntu" explain?
BluesKaj 2017-03-03 04:01:28
Christoph_vW, and ignore the warninfg
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:01:45
cache can be disabled, is what i read here
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:01:47
etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head is empty
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:02:19
MonkeyDust, depends what context ..
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:02:40
OerHeks yes, that's why i'm not posting a link
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:03:19
finexbeer what OerHeks says, what's the context
BluesKaj 2017-03-03 04:04:56
Christoph_vW, and ignore the warninfg /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:05:37
BluesKaj: problem is: nmcli shows 4 IPv6 DNS servers, but only the 1st is wrong
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:05:45
and I don't know where it got them from
BluesKaj 2017-03-03 04:06:38
ok , Christoph_vW what does /etc/resolv.conf, show ?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:06:54
nameserver 127.0.1.1
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:09:11
Christoph_vW: how are you configuring your network, e.g. with network-manager and dhcp IP?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:10:13
alkisg: good question - I gave it a static IPv4 address in setup and IPv6 should be handled by DHCPv6
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:10:27
so I guess network manager is handling this now
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:10:38
What's the output of this? grep . /run/resolvconf/interface/*
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:10:42
but dhclient -6 takes forever
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:11:02
one of my machines updated to 4.4.0-65 which is apparentlty broken
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:11:05
how do I fix this?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:11:08
just "search DOMAIN.local" and "nameserver 127.0.1.1"
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:11:31
and the DHCPv6 server doesn't have the wrong DNS server anymore since some days
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:11:39
but the client won't update his server list
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:12:20
Christoph_vW, and the output of this? grep -ri dns= /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:12:47
alkisg: nothing
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:12:57
Try with sudo in front, sorry
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:12:57
it is not in the connection profile - it shows only on the device
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:13:02
You should get permission denied
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:13:13
alkisg: I already did sudo -i
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:13:28
So if you disable ipv6 in the nm tab, you no longer get the wrong dns servers?
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:13:34
You think they come from ipv6?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:13:37
alkisg: cli only - no gui
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:13:59
Note that if a lease expires after 1 month, there's no reason for the client to fetch new dns server entries
finexbeer 2017-03-03 04:14:05
how can you cancel cache on ubuntu useng terminal
finexbeer 2017-03-03 04:14:07
??
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:14:15
the lease should expire after 12 hours
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:14:20
cancel cache?
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:14:49
Christoph_vW: output of this? put your iface name there... /usr/lib/klibc/bin/ipconfig -n eth0
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:14:56
Does it list correct dns servers?
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:15:05
finexbeer, "how cancel cache on ubuntu" explain?
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:15:19
This only does a test request, it doesn't apply it
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:15:20
alkisg: yes, but that's for IPv4 only
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:15:21
any ideas how to get rid of this 4.4.0-65 abortion?
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:15:34
Fooster, reinstall the kernel perhaps?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:15:37
alkisg: my problem is just the wrong IPv6 dns server
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:16:01
oerheks not sure how to do that wiht gce... can't get to grub directly?
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:16:15
Christoph_vW, how ipv6 is configured?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:16:32
DHCPv6
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:16:48
Christoph_vW: you're sure you didn't put it somewhere static, e.g. in /etc/network/interfaces, right?
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:16:51
ok, so dns server maybe come from dhcp request
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:17:09
Fooster, gce? hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:17:12
alkisg: I cannot find a trace of it anywhere
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:17:25
google compute engine
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:17:25
etc/network/interfaces is nearly empty
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:17:58
Christoph_vW: ah, you could even run sudo grep -r /etc
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:18:04
And put the wrong ip there
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:18:10
do you have anything in interfaces.d ?
finexbeer 2017-03-03 04:18:25
a what to clear some space on my hardisk and a wanna cancel cache
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:18:37
finexbeer, which cache?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:19:09
ikevin: no, nothing
iresf 2017-03-03 04:19:12
webadmin.nsf: The server admin database can be accessed remotely. ? what this mean ?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:19:18
alkisg: no result
scottjl 2017-03-03 04:19:27
finexbeer: what is it you're trying to accomplish?
OerHeks 2017-03-03 04:19:30
Fooster, as you pay for it, ask https://cloud.google.com/support/ ??
Fooster 2017-03-03 04:19:44
their support is garbage
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:20:23
"dhclient -6 -v eno1" gets a new v6 lease but the wrong DNS entry stays
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:20:54
Christoph_vW: maybe you saved the config but didn't apply it? What kind of dhcp server do you have?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:21:07
Windows Server 2016 Datacenter
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:21:42
Did you restart the dhcp service? I don't know what it takes for that to happen under windows, there's also a #windows channel as it sounds like a server-side issue
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:21:54
alkisg: I did
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:22:35
and I don't get the old IP on windows clients
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:22:50
Christoph_vW: try dhclient -r first, to release the old lease
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:22:56
finexbeer start with rm -r ~/.cache
Choups 2017-03-03 04:23:09
guys i need some help
MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:23:18
Choups let's hear it, in one line
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:23:31
alkisg: didn't help
Choups 2017-03-03 04:24:11
just started a new box, ubuntu 16 lts, installed apache and php7, but now when i upload a hello world php file, the php doesnt run, and it apears as a text file
Choups 2017-03-03 04:24:13
what am i missing?
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:24:21
too bad it doesn't display where it got the addr from
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:24:36
maybe it is from a router advertisement
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:25:21
Christoph_vW: well, next thing I would try would be a live cd, and if it happens there too, I would use tcpdump to see where it got it from
Choups 2017-03-03 04:25:35
oh and i restarted the apache.. just saying
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:26:11
Choups: you need the apache php module, not just the language
ikevin 2017-03-03 04:26:13
Christoph_vW, you can disable ra
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:26:26
Choups: follow the lamp installation guide from ubuntu wiki
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:26:30
bingo
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:26:34
it came from a RA
Choups 2017-03-03 04:26:42
ok alkisg
Choups 2017-03-03 04:26:44
ty
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:27:19
would be cool when nmcli would display where it got it settings from...
alkisg 2017-03-03 04:27:23
Choups: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
Christoph_vW 2017-03-03 04:27:29

MonkeyDust 2017-03-03 04:27:29
Choups try this tasksel (task select)

How do I change the default "Text entry settings" for all accounts including guest sessions. I selected wrong keyboard language (English UK) when I installed the OS (16.04.02) and even though I deleted the UK version from "Text Entry Settings" and replaced it with English US, when I login to a guest session, the UK one is default...
