Defenestrategy: Oct 24, 2010

So I'm learning Linux by making a small raspberry pi project using a light weight version of Ubuntu and I was wondering what a good method for sending the contents of ifconfig to me was, so I could SSH into the pi without having to hook it into a display.

I was thinking a script that happens x amount of seconds after boot up that

1) Creates a text file
2) echos what ever ifconfig would output [eth0 and wlan0] into it
3) uploads said file to a server

my problem is I don't know the syntax or if part two is possible, or if this is necessarily a good way of doing it. So I'm open to suggestions.

Inspect your own arp table for mac addresses that have the raspberry pi MAC OUI. Which is B8-27-EB. https://regauth.standards.ieee.org/standards-ra-web/pub/view.html#registries

You could also inspect the DHCP server handing out IPs, or set up DDNS so that you can have a DNS name that always points to whatever your raspberry pi has registered.

Desuwa: Jun 2, 2011; I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!

If you can access the admin pages for your router you're probably best off looking for the IP of the Pi there once it has connected. Then you can also give it a static lease so it keeps the same IP.

If you can't it should still be easier to just scan for computers on your local network from your existing desktop.

What you want to do is possible though. Redirecting output is fairly simple. ifconfig > output.txt will redirect the output of ifconfig into output.txt, creating it if necessary. Input can be redirected similarly with <.

Not the approach id take, but you could do 1 & 2 in the same line with output redirection :

ifconfig -a > file.txt

Try it out.

Hey everybody, I'm running Mint 18.3 and I think it just got boned somehow.

I noticed the mint updater icon wasn't in the panel so I thought "ehh, I'll go run it and see what's up". This is what's up;

$ mintupdate
$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/mintUpdate.py", line 15, in <module>
import pycurl
ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.47.0) is older than compile-time version (7.52.1)

I have no idea how (or exactly what) happened. The only thing I changed at all today was adding the pipelight package from ppa:pipelight/stable, and I installed filezilla and did normal updates. I'm looking at that stuff now though and it doesn't depend on, recommend or provide any packages related to curl or python. If it's not that, what could be going on? If it is that, how? And what do I do about it?

There is a package called libcurl installed, and it is indeed 7.47.0, but there are no other versions of it in my repos to force. Mintupdate also only has one version, so nothing weird could have happened there. There's also python3-pycurl but that's 7.43.0 (also no other versions.) So, any ideas?

edit: Here's my dpkg.log from today https://pastebin.com/raw/NF9NYmXu
I cant see it being something other than something I installed because, otherwise, I haven't done anything today besides gently caress around in irc and check my email.

Edit: Remembered Mint comes with Timeshift now, went back a couple days and all is well, for now. Still, who knows what happened and if it will happen again :/

Install dconf-editor

navigate to org -> gnome -> desktop -> lockdown and set disable-lock-screen to on

should work, maybe

Chrome is crashing without warning (just closing all tabs) on my Fedora 27 desktop. Disabling all extensions didn't help, I also tried Chromium and Firefox but it still happens there. At first I thought it was tied to doing something multimedia-related but now I think it will just happen eventually regardless.

Gnome in general is not acting very stable either, it is ocassionaly kicking me back out to the login screen. Not sure if it's related to the browser crashes.

Here's the dmesg after a chrome crash:

code:

[  860.389878] chrome[2074]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f82ff4d85d1 sp 00007ffdcabe5630 error 4 in libfontconfig.so.1.10.1[7f82ff4cd000+3e000]

I'm using a custom ~/.fonts.conf that I got off a github gist some years ago, in case that could be related.

This started happening after not using this desktop for about 4 months (vacation and moving). After getting it set up again, I ran dnf update, then do-release-upgrade up to 27. It's running Wayland and I have a Radeon 7750 with the default open-source graphics (from a quick google that seems to be the only option these days).

Any ideas for troubleshooting? If gnome crashes again I'll post the dmesg for that to see if it's the same segfault. Also, not sure it's related, but got these messages at startup:

code:

Welp we upgraded a couple test CentOS 6 XenServer VM's to the new kernel with the mitigations for Meltdown/Spectre today. They refuse to boot, had to edit grub.conf to revert to the previous version. Seems like there may be a severe bug with the new kernel on XenServer? gently caress my life.

It's interesting you ran into problems with fonts, because the last time I tried to make them look better on Fedora, the whole system crashed hard. I was configuring something starting with infini, forgot the full name.

Hi. I've restored an ancient ASUS Pundit P1-AH1 media center PC as a backup fileserver running Ubuntu Server 16.04, and I've been having problems getting USB input devices to work after it boots up. While I'm able to use the keyboard in the BIOS, after it boots into the operating system proper, the keyboard stops functioning. I've currently configured it to run headless with ssh. When I use the lsusb command, nothing shows up. It just accepts the command and then goes back to the command line. I am completely stumped!

This is the output of lspci.

Anyone have any ideas on a (all things being relative) "slow" CIFS mount in Ubuntu 17.04/17.10?

Situation: Several VMs accessing a separate FreeNAS array via a point-to-point network link of 10GbE. Works great, no problems, a Windows VM can read at 500-600MB/sec and write at 900MB/sec (weird, but whatever). Close-ish to line speed, at least for write. So that kinda eliminates the ESXi portion as far as I'm concerned. The Ubuntu VMs are using an fstab cifs mount with vers=3.02 specified and verified on the FreeNAS side with smbstatus ... that's the protocol level they're connecting at. iperf tests to one of those VMs shows 10GbE speeds. But an actual large file copy never goes above 220MB/sec. I've got these additional parameters set in smb.conf:

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=524288 SO_SNDBUF=524288 IPTOS_LOWDELAY

But that didn't seem to change anything. Anything else I could look into? I'm just baffled as to why it's 2x faster than gigabit, but no better, and CPU/memory/disk isn't the issue, either. All the Ubuntu VMs behave this way in my setup.

I also access those shares from Windows boxes, and mixing NFS/SMB operations is bad. SMB 3.x isn't bad at all, usually. Besides, the Windows VM is close enough to line speed, and it's using SMB for access.

Edit: For clarity, the FreeNAS share is an SMB share the Ubuntu VMs connect to and add/modify/delete data. Most of the clients are Windows, and also need ACL controlled access to the share. NFS isn't an option for this share.

This isn't really a Linux question...more of a recommend me a linux software question, but maybe someone knows something that will get me started in the right direction:

I've got a couple thousand RSS feeds that I'd like to start archiving the content of into some sort of system with good searching capabilities.

I'd really like to write it myself but I don't have the time. If there's some sort of solution that I could hack on or write plugins of some sort that'd be neat. I'd be surprised if there was something made specifically for RSS feeds, so I'm guessing I'll have to write something to fetch the feeds and insert them into whatever system.

Can anyone recommend something they've used or at least something they've heard of?

You could probably set up and elastic search cluster, there's probably and rss application that can grab the content and send it to the elastic search http Port.

This isn't really a Linux question...more of a recommend me a linux software question, but maybe someone knows something that will get me started in the right direction:

I've got a couple thousand RSS feeds that I'd like to start archiving the content of into some sort of system with good searching capabilities.

I'd really like to write it myself but I don't have the time. If there's some sort of solution that I could hack on or write plugins of some sort that'd be neat. I'd be surprised if there was something made specifically for RSS feeds, so I'm guessing I'll have to write something to fetch the feeds and insert them into whatever system.

Dump them to the filesystem and grep?
