| [00:50] <lubot> <heysoundude> Uh oh...help! What command do I issue in rescue mode to start my system? | |
| [00:51] <wxl> grub rescue??? oh man what did you do? | |
| [00:52] <lubot> <heysoundude> I have no idea. I’m looking at a terminal screen with … grub rescue> | |
| [00:53] <lubot> <kc2bez> is your drive full disk encrypted? | |
| [00:54] <lubot> <heysoundude> 🤔 possibly. It’s been a few years - I can’t remember | |
| [00:54] <guiverc> @heysoundude, i usually stop at that point, sysrq-reisub & boot a live system & inspect for issues (`fsck` or file-system check; if it detects & fixes something I'd expect it to normally boot next time...) I'm assuming unencrypted though | |
| [00:55] <wxl> agreed. you shouldn't just randomly end up in grub rescue | |
| [00:56] <lubot> <kc2bez> I am not sure which version of Lubuntu you are running but if you incorrectly type (or fail to enter in time) your password on FDE you land at grub rescue | |
| [00:56] <lubot> <kc2bez> at that point you can reboot and try to enter your password (assuming FDE) | |
| [00:56] <guiverc> Good point kc2bez ; my most comomn grub-rescue on laptop is b/c I mistyped the encryption key !! | |
| [00:57] <lubot> <heysoundude> I did have a problem booting, and it told me to run fsck /dev/sda1 and I hit option a (yes to all). When it finished, I typed reboot, then it asked me to “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key” | |
| [00:57] <lubot> <heysoundude> It was 18.04.3 | |
| [00:58] <lubot> <kc2bez> ^that sounds like a disk problem. | |
| [00:58] <lubot> <heysoundude> It’s a ~2yr old ssd. | |
| [00:59] <lubot> <heysoundude> An HP | |
| [00:59] <lubot> <heysoundude> Is there something to try before we call it DOA? | |
| [01:00] <guiverc> my suggestion (as before) would be boot a 'live' system (eg. Lubuntu install media & use 'Start Lubuntu') and `fsck` your ssd. The reason for using 'live' is so your ssd is unused when you boot, thus is easily checked & issues fixed with `fsck` | |
| [01:00] <lubot> <heysoundude> Ok. Let me see where I put the USB stick... | |
| [01:01] <lubot> <heysoundude> If it’s missing, I have other machines I can use to DL lubuntu. Can I maybe go to 19.04? Or should I? | |
| [01:02] <guiverc> the 'live' system need not be the same version; ideally pretty modern but I'd use anything 18.04 or later myself | |
| [01:02] <lubot> <kc2bez> 19.04 is EOL, if anything you should use 19.10 | |
| [01:03] <lubot> <heysoundude> Hmm. Ok. Standby. | |
| [01:03] <lubot> <heysoundude> (And thank you!!) | |
| [01:04] * guiverc got a fright; I'd not posted 19.04's EOL to fridge; but still a few days left of life.. | |
| [01:05] <wxl> don't feel bad, when i posted to the list, one of the dates i gave was in the past XD | |

| [01:13] * kc2bez realizes that he never mentioned that in the stand-up | |
| [01:24] <lubot> <heysoundude> Having a hard time getting the torrent of 19.10 to start... | |
| [01:24] <lubot> <heysoundude> The USB I found has 17.04 iso on it | |
| [01:28] <lubot> <heysoundude> Forgot this machine has avast on it...got it going now. | |

| [11:06] <lubot> <kc2bez> @devikri [execuse me, is there any rdp client recomended for lubuntu 18.04 ?], I use remmina, it works well for me. I haven't used the version that is in 18.04 in a while but it worked the last time I tried it. | |
| [11:15] <lubot> <devikri> (Photo, 1280x719) https://i.imgur.com/EvpPByQ.jpg thx, it works well | |
| [11:15] <lubot> <kc2bez> Happy to help. | |
| [21:33] <retardedguy12345> Hello | |
| [21:33] <wxl> hey | |
| [21:33] <retardedguy12345> Can I ask for help in this channel? | |
| [21:33] <wxl> this is the place | |
| [21:34] <retardedguy12345> I've got laptop Dell with Lubuntu 18.04, it has 100mb network, I bought 1 gigabit usb 3 adapter it works like charm for like 10-15mins and then it stopps I have to replug the usb | |
| [21:34] <retardedguy12345> Is there some kind of power saving option on the USBs or its something else? | |
| [21:35] <retardedguy12345> As soon as i replug it works perfectly again | |
| [21:35] <wxl> hm that's strange indeed. have you ever used it with another network? | |
| [21:37] <retardedguy12345> Like have I used the adapter on different computer? | |
| [21:38] <wxl> no, with a different network | |
| [21:38] <retardedguy12345> Ive got only one network my home | |
| [21:39] <wxl> well i mean there are other places in the world.. :) | |
| [21:39] <retardedguy12345> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029250/ubuntu-18-04-ethernet-disconnected-after-suspend | |
| [21:39] <retardedguy12345> People here say if I upgrade the karnel it goes away | |
| [21:41] <retardedguy12345> if i wasnt retarded i wouldnt be here you knwo bRUH! | |
| [21:41] <wxl> that's kind of offensive, you know.... | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> All the tech savy users use linux, and then me the fucking dumbest man on planet earth decided to go on linux I cant code i dont understand software | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> and I gotta seek help on forums and irc every single time... | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> :) | |
| [21:42] <wxl> keep the language nice if you would | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> Didn't mean to be offensive to anybody expect me | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> Am really sorry, no bad intentions | |
| [21:42] <retardedguy12345> Trust me! | |
| [21:42] <wxl> what kernel are you running? | |
| [21:43] <retardedguy12345> 4.15 | |
| [21:43] <retardedguy12345> LTS | |
| [21:43] <retardedguy12345> I tried once to upgrade latest relese couldnt | |
| [21:44] <retardedguy12345> to latest release* | |
| [21:46] <wxl> which specific kernel? | |
| [21:46] <retardedguy12345> 4.15.0-74-generic | |
| [21:48] <retardedguy12345> When i type in terminal sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | |
| [21:48] <retardedguy12345> it dosent upgrade | |
| [21:48] <lubot> <teward001> `dist-upgrade` will only install the latest updates available to your system and the dependent packages | |
| [21:48] <lubot> <teward001> it will not upgrade your OS to a newer version | |
| [21:48] <retardedguy12345> says the Following packages were automaticlly installed and are no longer req: | |
| [21:49] <retardedguy12345> and there is list | |
| [21:49] <retardedguy12345> of 5 | |
| [21:49] <retardedguy12345> rows | |
| [21:49] <lubot> <teward001> upgrading the system is the job of `sudo do-release-upgrade` or similar, and not the function of `sudo apt-get ...` | |
| [21:49] <retardedguy12345> Are you sure? | |
| [21:49] <retardedguy12345> is this person or bot? | |
| [21:49] <lubot> <teward001> the bot is carrying my messages from a secondary communication mechanism | |
| [21:49] <lubot> <teward001> my username is teward001 | |
| [21:50] <teward> ... or if i were here on my phone, teward here on IRC | |
| [21:50] <teward> (same person... | |
| [21:50] <lubot> <teward001> ... different communication mechanisms, this is the support room over on the Telegram messenger) | |
| [21:50] <retardedguy12345> Ok | |
| [21:50] <retardedguy12345> so what is the command to ugprade the distro | |
| [21:50] <retardedguy12345> to the latest | |
| [21:50] <retardedguy12345> is that gonna upgrade my kernel too? | |
| [21:51] <retardedguy12345> As far as i've been seraching the internet thats the command | |
| [21:51] <teward> you are on 18.04 yes? in *theory* it should be `sudo do-release-upgrade` on the command line. It should also upgrade your base kernel, but it will also upgrade a lot of other software as well. So before you do this, if there is anything you want to keep on your system you should back it up | |
| [21:51] <wxl> that's not recommended | |
| [21:51] <wxl> LXDE -> LXQt | |
| [21:51] <teward> i also agree with wxl | |
| [21:51] <retardedguy12345> what am I supposed to do? | |
| [21:51] <teward> if you need the *latest* kernel, there may be another one to install 1 moment | |
| [21:51] <teward> *polls the packages* | |
| [21:52] <tomreyn> HWE / LTSE is maybe worth a try? | |
| [21:52] <teward> yep | |
| [21:52] <guiverc> are you using 4.15 or 5.0 (HWE enabled on 18.04; soon be 5.3) | |
| [21:53] <teward> guiverc: already answered earlier, they're on 4.15 | |
| [21:53] <guiverc> sorry | |
| [21:53] <teward> > 4.15.0-74-generic | |
| [21:54] <teward> you can either install `linux-generic-hwe-18.04` or `linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge` - the first installs 5.0, the second installs 5.3. | |
| [21:54] <retardedguy12345> thats not gonna break anytihng? | |
| [21:54] <lubot> <heysoundude> @teward [<teward> you can either install `linux-generic-hwe-18.04` or `linux-generic-hwe- …], 👍🏻👍🏻 | |
| [21:54] <teward> it could, not all hardware likes to behave on the HWE kernels | |
| [21:54] <retardedguy12345> ok whats the command i'll type it | |
| [21:54] <retardedguy12345> whats HWE short for | |
| [21:55] <retardedguy12345> how do i get to newer karnel safely? | |
| [21:55] <teward> sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | |
| [21:55] <teward> start with that one, i want to avoid edge first :P | |
| [21:55] <teward> that should install the second kernel, if it fails to work on a reboot we'll instruct you how to boot to the older kernel | |
| [21:55] <teward> since it won't remove 4.15 yet | |
| [21:56] <tomreyn> the !LTSE / !HWE trigger recommends also upgrading X. also -hwe also points to 5.3 now, i think. | |
| [21:56] <teward> !LTSE | |
| [21:56] <ubottu> The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | |
| [21:56] <teward> !HWE | |
| [21:56] <teward> blah stupid ubottu | |
| [21:56] <tomreyn> its an alias | |
| [21:56] <teward> tomreyn: you may want to assist them with the steps | |
| [21:56] <teward> as they've already stated they don't know what they're doing :P | |
| [21:56] <retardedguy12345> so sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | |
| [21:56] <retardedguy12345> right? | |
| [21:56] <teward> (and i'm headed home, so offline for a short while) | |
| [21:57] <tomreyn> retardedguy12345: please just read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | |
| [21:57] <tomreyn> or if that's too much, run this: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 | |
| [21:59] <retardedguy12345> alright @hanks | |
| [21:59] <retardedguy12345> thanks | |
| [21:59] <wxl> i'm not sure the kernel is going to fix this. the bug report is a mess with conflicting reports 4.15.0-24.26 | |
| [21:59] <wxl> oops | |
| [21:59] <wxl> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1752772?comments=all | |

| [22:02] <tomreyn> tell us whether it reported anything special other than that you can autoremove those 5 packages. | |

| [22:09] <tomreyn> okay, the chrome repository needs fixing. | |
| [22:11] <tomreyn> winehq-staging is held back, you should see if you can fix this problem sometime. it is with a !PPA | |
| [22:11] <retardedguy12345> Thanks for taking the time to help me tomreyn | |
| [22:12] <retardedguy12345> What a nice human being, god bless you | |
| [22:12] <tomreyn> hehe, you're welcome, but we're really deviating right now. i just wanted to make sure you can use apt in general | |
| [22:13] <tbs> guys here helps a lot, i even ask sefish questions sometimes:) | |
| [22:13] <retardedguy12345> tbs Like what? :) | |
| [22:13] <tomreyn> to remove those packages listed there you can run sudo apt --purge autoremove but that's also for later | |
| [22:13] <tomreyn> (those listed under "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:") | |
| [22:14] <retardedguy12345> Its removing now stuff | |
| [22:14] <retardedguy12345> Has green " | |
| [22:14] <retardedguy12345> "process" bar | |
| [22:14] <tbs> like can i add more ram to my pc, how can i make my desktop like archman openbox, is there an app like tolwiz timefreez for linux... | |
| [22:14] <tomreyn> let's confirm which network interface you have (you can do this in parallel on a separate temrinal window, it's fast): lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 | |
| [22:15] <retardedguy123it> https://termbin.com/k8m9w | |
| [22:16] <tomreyn> i guess the "Dell RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" will be the integrated one, not the usb one | |
| [22:16] <tomreyn> what does this report: lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 | |
| [22:16] <retardedguy12345> ye the adapter dosent have wireless | |
| [22:16] <retardedguy12345> its gigabit cable lan adapter | |
| [22:17] <tomreyn> oh and make sure you have the usb ethernet dongle attached while you run these | |
| [22:18] <retardedguy12345> its attached | |
| [22:18] <retardedguy12345> to network and everything | |
| [22:18] <tomreyn> ok, so what does this report: lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 | |
| [22:18] <retardedguy123it> https://termbin.com/87as | |
| [22:20] <tomreyn> you can run sudo update-usbids if you want more useful output from the lsusb command in the future | |
| [22:20] <retardedguy12345> Hey Tomreyn | |
| [22:20] <retardedguy12345> just so you know | |

| [22:20] <retardedguy12345> where it says 03: | |
| [22:20] <retardedguy12345> is the adapter | |
| [22:20] <retardedguy12345> not the first one | |
| [22:21] <tomreyn> the second on https://termbin.com/k8m9w is your integrated network interface, the "old" one, not on USB | |

| [22:21] <tomreyn> is you run lsusb again now you will see the first line there showing your usb ethernet | |
| [22:23] <retardedguy12345> it cutt off the network on the laptop | |
| [22:23] <retardedguy12345> let me replug the adapter | |
| [22:23] <tomreyn> it should say "RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" now. but you don't need to run it unless for yourself | |

| [22:24] <tomreyn> so that's more useful than what it used to say: https://termbin.com/87as | |
| [22:25] <tomreyn> i suggest you still do the kernel upgrade, just to see whether it's already fixed ina newer kernel. | |
| [22:25] <retardedguy12345> it seems like the network cuts of after 15-16mins | |
| [22:25] <retardedguy12345> every time | |
| [22:25] <retardedguy12345> like a clock | |
| [22:25] <retardedguyitsme> sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade? | |
| [22:26] <tomreyn> !LTSE | |
| [22:26] <ubottu> The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | |
| [22:26] <tomreyn> this | |
| [22:26] <retardedguy12345> ill disconnect the donggle not to fuck it up mid installation | |
| [22:27] <retardedguy12345> you tthink thats smart | |
| [22:28] <retardedguy12345> uhh it upgrades to 5.3 | |
| [22:28] <retardedguy12345> hopefully it all turns good | |
| [22:28] <retardedguy12345> if not am gonna have some fun reinstalling | |
| [22:35] <retardedguy12345> hey that is done | |
| [22:35] <retardedguy12345> do i need to reset for the karntel to take place? | |
| [22:36] <wxl> retardedguy12345: sorry for disappearing on you there but the phone rang shortly after you showed up. you do need to reboot for the new kernel to be used. | |
| [22:38] <paolo_piemonte> hi | |
| [22:38] <retardedguy12345> Thanks wxl | |
| [22:40] <retardedguy12345> on the new karnel touchpad feels more responsive | |
| [22:41] <wxl> generally having newer kernels is better for hardware | |
| [22:43] <retardedguy12345> lets see if the isssue is fixed | |
| [22:44] <retardedguy12345> it will take 15mins from now | |
| [22:45] <retardedguy12345> Thanks everyone here to helping | |
| [22:45] <retardedguy12345> <3 | |
| [22:45] <retardedguy12345> god bless you all | |
| [22:45] <retardedguy12345> And wish you fantastic weekend | |
| [22:50] <tomreyn> retardedguy12345: sorry, my isp decided to disconnect me there, i just got back | |
| [22:50] <tomreyn> (i use an irc proxy so shoul dnot have missed much of what you said) | |
