User1: also, i noticed that it doesn't work in chromium either. i get the same error.
User2: User1 if you    sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop^    this may list the missing packages (no need to confirm if you don't wan all of it)
User2: User4 what is "nvidia on demand"?
User1: what does the caret (^) at the end mean?
User2: User1 it signifies that this an an "apt task", similar to what tasksel did in the past
User1: User2 k, thanks
User1: User2 when i sudo apt cache search ubuntu-desktop, it says that it's already installed
User3: there is some DRM guide for firefox
User1: and i just sudo apt cache update
User1: User3 oh, nice, where?
User3: same as netflix, step 1 ... https://itsfoss.com/netflix-firefox-linux/
User1: User3 I have a feeling it is system-wide in my case though, because it doesn't work in chromium for me either...
User2: User4 if your goal is to run specific applications on one and others on the other GPU in a multi-gpu setup, you can probably use nvidia-settings for this on proprietary drivers, or the DRI_PRIME environment variable if using nouveau
User4: perfect thanks!
User2: User1 firefox's about:preferences also has a "Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content" tick box
User1: User3 didn't work :(. I already have all of the settings and plugins in the guide. also, apt cache search (codec pack name) from guide turned up nothing...
User1: User2 yeah, it's ticked already :/
User1: oh, i'm running in a virtual machine if that makes any difference. shouldn't though, right?
User1: it's a virtualbox vm. ubuntu running inside ubuntu
User2: it's possible DRM wouldnt like that
User2: not sure, it's proprietary, we can't know
User2: I also like how Firefox' "Learn more" link points to a parked domain name
User1: I feel like I might just have to run a Windows VM to get this to work. However, i wish it wasn't this difficult?
User5: Ubuntu Mate 19.04 I want to install the dock that is on 18.04..don't know the name to use google to find
User2: User5 this sounds ubuntu mate specific, so i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-mate
User5: tomreyn, thanks for the info
User2: User1 maybe try it with a new firefox profile
User1: User2 k
User6: How come I'm not seeing an available update 19.04 => 19.10 ?
User7: it doesnt roll out for evberyone at the same time
User7: you can force it with do-release-upgrade -d, although thats probably bad practice
User6: Why would it be bad practice? and I'm curisou how do people do a rolled release? Is it like show update for % of requests. Or does the system have some kind of unique ID and it rolls it out based on that?
User7: because -d upgrades to a "development release" which may or may not be exactly the same as what you'd get without using the d
User6: I see
User7: i did it yesterday and it worked fine for me
User7: (using -d)
User6: I'm not in a hurry, was just curious
User7: my guess is the staggered release is just to lower the load on the server infrastructure
User8: this snapper-gui is crashing and is useless on 19.04 as it seems
User8: already using apt-btrfs-snapshot that is fine, but needed some GUI or something not to crawl through CLI whenever I want to clean snapshots
User9: Hi guys
User9: I wanted to install again ubuntu as I should do, because I've some problems with it
User9: but I'm afraid of to make some mistakes and do something wrong, can you give me some advice?
User9: https://pastebin.com/9Gna0vKy
User9: I wrote `fdisk -l` in order to know exactly how many partitions has my machine and it shows me this, a year ago I create just one for linux because I saw so many partitions previously that I was afraid of delete
User9: what I should do if I want to create a new partition for a new ubuntu?
User9: I mean this is a notebook I bought and it has all these partitions created when I bought it
User10: User9 if you want windows to work, most of those partitions are needed. Some are for creating recovery media and could potentially be deleted if you have those disks/files, or do not want recovery options if Windows breaks. sda9 is your linux partition, make sure everything is backed up installing there would delete your files on linux
User10: could potentially resize sda5 and/or sda9 to make room for a new partition, but that depends on how full they are.
User11: hello i am thinking about delting my ubuntu computers i don't like it anymore
User11: its boring
User11: its a boring os
User10: troll didn't even wait for a response.
User10: was going to recommend a rm -rf, gotta remove ubuntu properly
User9: ok
User9: Although I'm gonna find out how to how to resize a partition, there is any safe way to do it with out loss any important information from windows or linux that I've installed?
User12: User9 If you're worried, safest thing to do is back up the entire disk somewhere.
User10: User9 can resize, or "shrink" i believe with gparted or another utility. backups are reccomended in case something goes wrong. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition
User10: I think the partition cannot be mounted, gparted is on the live cd/usb I believe.
User9: so is it better if I use gparted instead of using fdisk ?
User9: I don't have any other disk :(  just this one that have my notebook
User9: I've a disk but it's from my mom xD I don't think she's gonna give that one XD
User9: =(
User10: the only way to change a partition size using fdisk is by deleting and recreating the partition
User9: aaa sry for my english xd
User9: omg
User9: it scares me a lot, I'm gonna download gparted
User9: I need to resize one of my primary partitions Windows or Linux and after I can create a new one so that I can install there my new linux?
User10: can use use resize2fs if you need CLI, either way I recommend backups of any important data, and check your free space to make sure you have enough on those partitions to consider it.
User10: if those partitions are full it won't work.
User9: Once time I think I had gparted on a live cd and when I tried to resize de windows partition it didn't allow me to do it I don't know why e.e
User9: is it possible that a partition it's blocked? I mean that I can resize it ?
User9: can't
User13: is it possible to encrypt the entire drive with LUKS after ubuntu has been installed?
User14: I need to change a keycode, the issue is that showkey reports the key as 374. It seems like the usable range is up to 255 by the kernel. Any ideas?
User14: The root problem is that i want to use that key to trigger a script in my i3 config. xev does not report any bindsym for it since it is out of range.
User15: wth? https://imgur.com/m3Hy6s7
User15: why did the package system break?
User15: I didn't do anything weird
User15: well I haven't restarted this desktop in a while
User15: other than that, just browsing youtube
User16: flog, which key?
User14: User16 not sure what the keys name is. got a lenovo laptop with function key on F11 i want to use.
User14: User16 which made me realize that i could just use f11 instead.
User16: ah, so you are attempting to use Fn+F11?
User14: pretty much
User16: flog, what does `showkey -s` say when you do Fn+F11?
User14: Nope.
User14: But showkey does
User15: Bashing-om, not out of disk space
User15: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root  914G   71G  797G   9% /
User16: flog, high codes like that are supposed to be encoded as a sequence of keycodes. showkey must be decoding it back
User14: ah
User16: it is described under 2.6 KERNELS in the man page
User16: showkey man page*
User15: ubuntu 18.04, so the latest linux kernel?

User20: bz-: 5.7 is the newest in the repositories, you probably skipped a step or over looked something in the "i have installed the appropriate apt config" actions you speak of
User20: bz-: so you might look at that again
User20: bz-: yeah look again, if you only put something in /etc/apt/sources you missed a step..you'll find it when you retrace your steps
User2: bz-: did yuou double check you're really on ubuntu 19.04, not 19.10? lsb_release -ds
User2: on 19.10, the "mysql-server" metapackage indeed depends on mysql-server-8.0
User2: ...whereas it's mysql-server-5.7 on all other supported releases.
User21: hi, does anyone know why qemu/kvm does not support the skewed screen resolutions like virtualbox does? that would be really good. like 1920x992 or 2048x1152?
User2: i guess desktop virtualization is not its immediate target. maybe try a different video driver for more flexibility, and make sure you have a spice connector.
User2: or just setup a separate remote manegemnt software on the guest itself.
User2: User21 ^
User21: hrm
User2: erle-: on which ubuntu release?
User2: most certainly if you look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?exact=yes&keywords=python
User2: if you're using ubuntu, you do rely on python 2
User2: except for 19.10
User2: look at the link i posted above
User2: ubuntu 19.10 does *not* depends on python2, the others do.
User2: you don't seem to have a support question, /join #ubuntu-discuss for discussions
User2: no problem, but yes, support only, see the channel topic
User22: hello. there is a process in my system that's constantly using the apt. it keeps changing it's PID every second that i can't kill it by PID. neither i could by name. what could be going wrong and what can I do to fix ?
User15: how to I find out which packages are broken?
User23: User15 pastebin your whole apt output please
User15: lotuspsychje, what command do I need to run?
User23: !uptodate | Cooler lets try this
User17: Cooler lets try this: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`.
User15: unfortunately right now it is stuck on "vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules."
User15: I will let you know after it finishes
User24: does anyone know if you can create a directroy in /opt during preseed?
User24: in-target sh -c '/usr/bin/mkdir -p --mode=0755 /opt/rtd/scripts' ; \
User24: does not seem to work
User2: User24 wrong path for mkdir
User25: hi , may I know how to fully uninstall an application form synaptic including the deb and "to be installed"
User25: For example I install office application to test Apache OpenOffice at synaptic which include at all the deb files is over 200mb if i remember.But when I plan to uninstall it only free up 50mb.Why does the remaining 150mb still in the OS  ?
User26: Howdy all
User27: User25 sudo apt autoremove
User3: nbusrone, use the option -purge and run clean/autoremove ?
User25: jeremy31 , OerHeks : the problem is I already uninstall Apache OpenOffice , so autoremove mention not found.
User3: sudo apt autoremove # pretty basic knowledge
User28: how to install realtek-rtl8812au-dkms on backbox
User28: if i try it says not found
User28: on terminal
User27: User28 If you had Ubuntu, it would work
User25: jeremy31 , OerHeks : then how do I clean/autoremove Apache OpenOffice deb files ?
User29: !info rtl8812au-dkms
User28: but backbox is ubuntu based
User17: rtl8812au-dkms (source: rtl8812au): dkms source for the r8812au network driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 91.69.162.675.20140902+dfsg-0ubuntu8.1 (bionic), package size 1089 kB, installed size 8698 kB
User29: boktan, without 'realtek-' maybe
User23: !derivatives | boktan
User17: User28 The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle)
User28: you mean also it is not posible to install realtek-rtl8812au-dkms on backbox?
User27: User28 it doesn't exist but rtl8812au-dkms does
User27: The dkms is likely still broken
User28: what happens if i try to install it from another source?
User27: User28 sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms
User3: why would we care about backbox?
User28: i want to install the realtek-rtl8812au-dkms because it was working great with it
User29: nbusrone, dpkg -l | grep 'openoffice'
User25: jeremy31 , OerHeks : and how do I know the deb files are also link to other application running which require it ? will it render other application will not work well ?
User3: nbusrone, did you perform autoremove?
User30: OerHeks, it's our cousing distro Vinnie :P
User27: User25 just run sudo apt autoremove
User30: cousin*
User30: nbusrone, how many deb files did you install manually
User25: jeremy31 , OerHeks : To be safe , I just install bleachbit but doesn't show anything on preview which apt was checked.
User3: bleachbit.. why? so you did not run autoremove?
User25: kostkon : I am not sure at synaptic will auto grab the other deb or to be installed but after remove , it doesn't remove the deb.Did i click remove and not complete remove ?
User23: bleachbit & synaptic, he probably wants the GUI solving
User23: User25 in some cases when the user scrambles apt in dependency issues, the GUI wont be able to fix things, its adviced to pastebin whats going on in your apt, see what you done exactly
User23: User25 can we see a paste of your apt? tell us what you did please?
User25: OerHeks : I prefer gui as mention by lotuspsychje because I would know what it get remove.It is dangerous if i accidentally remove something else
User23: thats why the volunteers need to see whats going on first nbusrone , to be able to help you
User25: lotuspsychje : ok wait a minuite
User23: User25 can you pastebin: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
User3: if you used a gui, maybe you need to loout/login again to clear inodes?
User3: not sure why terminal is dangerous
User3: .. and gui safe
User25: OerHeks : last time , without knowing some command at google search , i accidentally remove the whole firefox apt remove purge which I though it'll list out Y or N to remove.
User25: OerHeks : terminal is good but less knowledge on command leads me to get worry in some cases.
User23: User25 please lets not general statements, focus on your issue instead?
User25: lotuspsychje : I will restart PC again to confirm it really remove, be back afterwards.
User25: lotuspsychje : looks like the it really complete remove after restart . but the HD size is still not the same before install and remove size space left.Will inspect more tomorrow thanks :)
User25: lotuspsychje : it* apache office
User30: nbusrone, how do you measure the available space
User25: kostkon : right click on t he disk space and check the sda1
User25: kostkon : My cases is similar to this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/874830/why-apt-get-install-and-remove-do-not-clear-the-same-space but it's an old link.
User30: nbusrone, how much of a difference is it compared to before
User2: User25 so, since you're seeking support here again, did you upgrade from the unsupported EOL release you were running yesterday?
User25: kostkon : At the properties , 30~50mb right now.Becasue it's an SSD it's important on filesize space left .
User25: tomreyn : 18.04
User2: great! :)
User25: tomreyn : a lot of problem ahead , application notworking , all spt source list needto reinstall tooks hours.
User25: tomreyn : I think after a couple of week after backup will clean install  again
User2: it shouldn't be so tough, you'll work it out! and please also repsond to kostkon's questions above.
User30: tomreyn, more like OerHeks' he responded to mine promptly
User30: he/she*
User2: oh, sorry, i missed this
User2: but i'd also very much recommend to familiarize yourself to using the terminal for managing your system
User2: !terminal
User17: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
User2: see this guide to get started
User2: the good thing regarding the temrinal is that it creates textual output which you can easily share with us and discuss here.
User2: !pastebinit
User17: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the Â« pastebinit Â» package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit
User2: User25 ^
User25: kostkon : because i didn't take a record of HD size before and after , i roughly remember the size.It's about 30~50mb. it maybe some other updates but it's clearly synaptic does not show much info on complete remove.
User25: thanks guys
User2: there are differences between download sizes and installed sizes of packages, the latter is almost always more.
User2: also, packages you choose to install almost always depend on other packages, and not all of these other packages may get removed when you remove the very package you installed later on.
User2: even with autoremove not everything may be removed.
User25: tomreyn : not to mention , some packages are require updates to get it run , so it could be I miss out where upgrading some packages will consume size.
User31: current ubuntu version is 20.04 right?
User23: User31 19.10 is latest
User25: spinningCat : 18.04
User2: User25 this can be so, but installation sizes of packages are normally entirely neglegible on both desktop systems and servers. it may be relevant on embedded systems.
User25: spinningCat : you are asking me ? the latest 19.10
User23: User31 20.04 has yet to come to development stage
User25: tomreyn : sometimes , getting a larger ssd would be better.128GB really not enough.
User2: for ubuntu 128 GB is plenty, but it may not be sufficient to store user data
User17: Ubuntu bug 128 in Baz (deprecated) "cmd_update should call libarch delta creation and application directly" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/128
User23: User25 we still have not a clue what you did to your system, we havent seen a pastebin yet of what you did exactly
User25: tomreyn : SSD price does reduce but compare to durablity , MLC 128GB vs TLC 512GB .Not plenty if it's an upgrade from 14.04 to 18.04
User25: lotuspsychje : i didn't do any pastebin , I just restart the pc and HD size reduce , so I just leave it as before , i was thinking after backup and do a clean install .Sorry for not posting any pastebin.Just wanted to test a few office application comparability on windows
User23: User25 please understand, its hard for volunteers to give you advice with little details from you
User23: User25 even a simple df -h can give us more insight already
User25: lotuspsychje : Sorry i didn't know that.but it solve by restart.
User25: lotuspsychje : Really thanks for the help :)
User23: User25 you didnt do a clean install 18.04?
User25: lotuspsychje : nope , just upgrade but it's a long process 14.04 to 16.04 then 18.04.
User23: User25 we adviced you yesterday, better not upgrade from an eol version
User25: lotuspsychje : I though you told me eol not support so i though I have to upgrade to a 18.04.Long process , many error.Will do a clean install again after backup.
User25: lotuspsychje : thank for the time for helping me , cheer :)
User25: gtg , thanks :)
User32: Hi. Is 19.10 in development state? I have to do do-release-upgrade with -d option for it to detect a new release.
User23: User32 no, 19.10 is released final
User32: lotuspsychje, why am I not able to upgrade without a -d option then?
User3: just because upgrade path is not released
User3: only the iso's.
User32: OerHeks, Oh ok. When will the upgrade path be released?
User3: maybe next week? just wait and see
User32: OerHeks, ok.
User9: HI people,
User9: I've a question about how to install multiple distro
User9: What I should do with the boot partition that usually is / ?
User9: I should create a partition like /ubuntu ?
User9: instead of /
User9: ?
User27: User9 ubuntu will create its own drive partition to be installed in
User9: ?
User29: patdk-lap, wrong channel ?
User9: but when I install a new distro tutorials frecuently say that I must create 3 partitions, 1 partition primary for /home, another for boot as /, and the last one for swap
User27: User9 you can install ubuntu on one partition, you are not required to have a partition for home and ubuntu now uses a swapfile rather than a swap partition
User33: Hello all. In regards to posting screenshots for here, what service should I use to upload the screenshots to?
User34: User33 imagebin.ca could be one
User17: User33 For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.
User33: Thx. How do
User33: How do I use the !pastebinit properly?
User3: pastebinit is not for screenshots, just txt
User27: User33 you use it in terminal   <command>|pastebinit
User33: thx
User9: mm
User9: so I didn't understand u.u where I should install my new distro instead of / ? wherever I want?
User27: User9 The installer should recognize other installs and offer to install along side of the others
User3: jeloume, on a free space of your hdd
User35: Hey, i need to get the UUID of my SD card, however blkid does not list it, but card is mounted already, how could i get it?
User35: Never mind, now it's listing it. Thanks anyway.
User2: User35 a file system UUID, a partition UUID, a serial number?
User2: ok
User36: hello
User33: I have Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Wayland, and Unity installed. Unity is my main DE. (In fact it is my only DE, I have pretty much never used the others at all before.) I am getting this error when I try to log into Unity or Wayland: https://imgur.com/a/YKNHObo.
User37: hello, I can't kill this:  see the line from ps aux :    steve     9935  7.5  1.6 1801452 132232 ?      D    10:54   0:42 obs  .  tried kill -9 9935 as root, tried killing its parent /bin/bash, it's still there using CPU.  any suggestions?
User3: pkill obs
User37: doesn't work
User37: i used xkill, which did kill the window but the process is still there
User29: johnjbogle1, i don't think unity 7 is compatible with wayland, but i could be wrong
User38: hey, ther i'm trying to run sudo  apt-get upgrade and it keeps returnig 404 not found
User3: steve, logout/login again?
User33: Ok forget I mentioned wayland. I need to regain access to unity.
User3: kappamikey, paste the errors on paste.ubuntu.com please
User37: ah crap, it says in the D state, uninterruptible sleep, it can't be killed until the system call completes, which i guess is never going to happen
User9: ahhh ok, I was reading a little bit about this because I don't want to make sth wrong on my notebook, so I can have partiton /boot for all my distro, another SWAP in order to manage the RAM for all my linux distro, after that I can create as many partitions as distro linux I want to install
User9: is it ok?
User38: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fHJ7jkqbDX/
User2: User33 which ubuntu version are you running there?
User3: kappamikey, did you run sudo apt update first?

User17: User33 To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution
User2: User33 11 this lets you work on a text terminal
User2: sorry, ignore "11"
User2: User33 on the text terminal you can typoe this to check your ubuntu version:   lsb_release -ds
User38: OerHeks I just did not it says working so I guess that was the problem
User9: what I still don't understand is if I must create primary partition o logic
User9: which is the difference?
User9: on videos people say primary and other logic
User38: there we go, now it's unpacking things
User3: kappamikey, fresh lists, have fun!
User29: johnjbogle1, ah, ok... that screen reminds me a broken upgrade ; try to access a tty or use Recovery Mode
User9: Is it possible that I can't create more than 4 primary partitions?
User38: libreoffic vs openoffice which is better?
User9: For every new distro I should create logic o primary partitions?
User3: jeloume, not on MBR, GPT allows more than 4 primairy
User9: uh
User9: So what can I do if I want to install a new linux?
User9: I should create just logic partitions?
User3: start with GPT, and have fun installing multi linux editions
User9: what?
User3: carefull what linux controls grub
User3: !gp
User3: !gpt
User17: GPT is a partition table format. It is required to boot EFI. See also !efi
User9: mm
User3: oh, no wiki
User39: hello all, just installed ubuntu 19.10. was getting login loop with gdm3 so changed to lightdm but now can not get automatic login to work. it is toggled on in settings.
User39: is this channel always this inactive nowadays?
User33: Sorry not sure what I was supposed to do with the F3,F6 thing.

User29: duhamel, we can try to set it manually  in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d
User9: https://medium.com/@manujarvinen/setting-up-a-multi-boot-of-5-linux-distributions-ca1fcf8d502
User9: I found this article about what you mentioned
User9: is it allright?
User3: jeloume, only one way to find out :-D
User9: yep I know but just I wanted to say if it's good information about this topic
User9: :(
User29: johnjbogle1, please highlight the nick of the person  you're talking to (or we'll lose track); are you logged in console atm ?
User39: ioria lightdm.conf.d is an empty directory users.conf has no autologin lines
User29: duhamel, cd in lightdm.conf.d and sudo nano 50-myconfig.conf
User29: duhamel, 2 lines :  [SeatDefaults]   (1Â° line)   autologin-user=<myusername>  (2Â° line)
User39: ioria so it's an empty file. do i put in autologin lines?
User29: duhamel, 2 lines :  [SeatDefaults]   (1Â° line)   autologin-user=<myusername>  (2Â° line)

User41: Hi. I have a dell XPS 13" Developer Edition with only USB-C on it (three ports, one for charger). I have a USB-C adapter with HDMI on it and a monitor connected. It's not working. The monitor is not detected. What do I do? `lspci` will only list the internal screen and the monitor light is orange.
User39: ioria it's weird, i did md5 on file before flashing, this is a fresh install. i switched to arch when 17.10 came out because of these issues. new rig and new release, and issues persist? is this not common?
User42: Industrial. might not be designed to work that way, or you need a driver
User3: Industrial, check the FN + screen key
User3: internal/external/both
User39: thanks anyway.
User29: johnjbogle1, paste the errors, please

User28: How to fix this
User28: Now I'm reinstalling again
User28: Can you please help me im new
User29: johnjbogle1, where do you get those errors ?
User23: User28 wich ubuntu version, and the error at wich point exactly?
User28: During install I get or USB boot I get
User28: I did installed the version 19
User28: 19.04 or I don't know the latest one
User23: User28 what kind of graphics card chipset do you have?
User28: My graphic card is rtx 2060
User23: !nomodeset | boktan
User17: User28 A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
User23: User28 after getting in your system with nomodeset, you will need latest nvidia drivers for your card
User23: !nvidia | boktan
User17: User28 For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see Â« /msg ubottu ati Â» and Â« /msg ubottu fglrxmissing Â» For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

User28: I'm on android phone
User28: This is why I did not do it im sorry
User2: User33 if you would like to install the community supported (only) "unity" desktop you can install package   ubuntu-unity-desktop
User33: ioria, after I did the update;full-upgrade command, this is what was returned: https://imgur.com/a/ClbhLPh
User33: Oh sorry my mistake, that screenshot was from the previous command.
User29: johnjbogle1, i think you have bigger problems than unity
User2: User28 do you see a "failsafe graphics" option on the grub menu? or are you already in edit mode (after pressing 'e' there)?
User2: User33 the screenshot you posted shows that there are some sort of hardware errors affecting communication between the mainboards' storage (SATA) controller, port 2, and your storage connected to that port.
User33: User29 LOL. I know. That's what I'm trying to solve one by one. There quite a few other issues as well. But (I'm assuming) fixing/regaining access to Unity would be top priority. Other issues are Wifi not working, both audio jack and audio from speakers not working, one usb port not working, sd card slot not working, etc.
User29: johnjbogle1, may i suggest you a BIOS reset to defaults ?
User33: User2 oh yes and that is another issue too, I recently installed a new ssd storage, and it was reading it for a while, but now it's not.
User28: After I press e the kernel or I don't know the name of it is opening which I can put nomodeset inside
User2: User33 this can be all kinds of things, such as a broken hdd / ssd or connector. make sure you solve all hardware issues first of all, then continue with the software issues.
User33: User2 sorry I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with !who or how to use that command...
User28: Right now I'm reinstalling it and then I will open the grub menu for put the nomodeset inside
User3: boktan, it is all in the factoid given by ubottu; spot GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add nomodeset etc
User3: reinstalling.. sure keep on reinstalling while asking help :-(
User2: User33 we're just recommending that you address the people you're meaning to talk to (ubottu explained it to you a few minutes ago), as you've been doing since.
User2: User33 << like this
User28: I have this quite splash but not this grub cmd line what you mention on your last post
User28: I'm logged in with android this is why I did not mention it "again"
User41: This is the device I was talking about: http://minix.com.hk/products/neo-c-x
User41: Can't get that one to work with HDMI (other ports work, USB2 and ETH (didnt test card slots)
User3: Industrial, i guess that adapter does not work with linux
User2: User28 to bring up the grub menu, you need to either hit escape during early boot (usually repeatedly) if you are UEFI-booting (newer computers) or hold down the shift key if you're bios booting (older computers)
User41: Monitor says "No Signal Detected" instead of "Signal Cable Not Connected"
User41: SO it does see a connection from that point, or at least power going through the cable
User41: I see, hmm.
User33: Ahh ok I guess I was just over-analyzing and over-complicating things sorry
User28: Ä° put the nomodeset before "splash"?
User43: no after like splash nomodeset
User33: User29 Here is the errors I got after I did the update;upgrade-full command: https://imgur.com/a/hGLRcU4
User2: boktan you can do so. even better you'll remove both "quiet" and "splash" and add "nomodeset" in place.
User28: What is this quiet and splash for?
User29: johnjbogle1, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
User2: User28 splash loads / displays the ubuntu splash screen (logo) during boot, quiet makes it so there is no text displayed which can, however, be useful for diagnosing problems
User28: Then it's good to let is so and put nomodeset before them
User2: it just affects this one coming boot anyways
User2: it wont persist
User33: User2 hardware issues, ok will check connector cable and will try connecting it with a 2nd pc too, but pretty sure this is software related. Too many wonky bugs been adding up slowly the last few months that I've been trying to ignore...but now too many to ignore. But yes, will try. However, it is just storage, so in my mind it's not as crucial as getting Unity to work again. (Though perhaps I am wrong as per your opinion/expertise?)
User29: johnjbogle1, i suspect a corrupted cache and/or a  fs fail  (you can run from livecd : sudo fsck -yv /dev/sdaX)
User33: User29 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HcVSJxs38p/
User33: User29 [bios update] ok will do that, but will need help for that please.
User29: johnjbogle1, you can upgarde ypur bios if outdated, but i told you simply  to reset it to defaults
User2: User33 if the ata errors seen on https://i.imgur.com/r8hvDFq.jpg only affect a secondary storage then it's safe to just disconnect this storage for now, or even ignore them for now (though it can slow your computer down). properly working storage is essential for any operating system installation, though. unity is much much much less relevant to get working.
User9: what?
User9: https://miro.medium.com/max/1100/1*KEmlfr0d8aOljzD2IHw0Ww.png
User33: User29 [run from live cd] do you mean that I should have a copy of ubuntu installed on a cd, run that, then run that command?

User9: I can't understand people say that I can't create more than 4 primary partitions, but here it shows many of them?
User29: johnjbogle1, you cannot run fsck on a mounted partition; or livecd or from Recovery (if still works from there)
User3: jeloume, i told you GPT can
User9: ahhh
User28: I put crypt password but now it says password is wrong I did 2 times install it it is impossible that I forget or put wrong password why this is happening
User33: User29 [bios defaults] right, sorry but I'm not sure how do that yet. Sorry if you guys already helped me that in the past, I don't remember.
User9: I was reading an article about GPT but it surprises me e.e
User29: johnjbogle1, you have to access your bios and find the option

User9: I don't understand xd
User3: jeloume, no, just the name or first 3 letters + [tab] to autocomplete
User9: asd
User33: User2 ok I will disconnect the connector cable for now. Since I already have 256gb ssd as the main (where the os is installed) with VERY LITTLE else occupying on the main 256 os drive, will that suffice? Or should I also have the secondary 1tb ssd working too? (since you said having working storage is essential)
User9: !Oer
User9: u.u
User2: User33 all the disks you have connected need to be working properly, otherwise you can't use them anyways, and they just cause hardware errors, as the disk at sata port 2 is now doing. i can't tell whether you need less or more than 250 GB storage to fit both ubuntu and your personal data. i *can* tell that an ubuntu installation (the operating system with many applications installed) does not usually consume more than 20 or 30 GB storage
User2: at most.
User33: User29 ok I'll figure out how to enter bios (I know its simple, but sorry I forget how) then look for that option.
User33: User29 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VJ8YhQ94Yd/
User2: normally, ~ 15 GB is sufficient
User9: !OerHeks How I know if my notebook just implemented GPT ? I mean if I don't want to delete all partitions because perhaps they implemented (?)
User17: User9 I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
User29: johnjbogle1, don't you think is time to check this ata2 ?
User9: mm all time I use ! nick the bot write to me, is it ok (?
User3: jeloume, well, if you change this, you will loose data yes.
User9: yep but How can I know if just I have implemented that
User2: User9 please don't start your lines with an exclamation mark, it triggers the bot (ubottu) every time. if you'd like to address OerHeks, just write "User3 " (without the quotation marks). thanks.
User9: I mean how can I know if there's a GPT right now (?
User9: mm ok, I'm new on this
User9: User3 asd
User9: great
User33: User2 ok so I can just remove the secondary storage for now? Pretty much ALL of my personal data is on external hd's or in the cloud. The only personal data I have on my os/main drive (aside from all my saved settings etc and other meta-data I'm not aware of) is only 1 unimportant text-file saved to the os drive. So do I really need that secondary storage installed too, or is it fine if I remove it? Sorry for repeating the question, I just needed
User33: a little more clarity.
User33: User29 What is ata2? How to check it?
User9: oh xd if I don't have implemented GPT I won't create more than 4 primary partitions, just that xd
User9: XD
User2: User33 remove the secondary storage for now, then concetrate on making your ubuntu installation work, then then look for ways to restore your data from the other drive.
User29: johnjbogle1, ata2 is the ata port 2 on your motherboard
User29: *sata port
User33: User2 perfect, exactly what I was thinking would be best. thx:)
User33: User29 ah ok...how to check it?
User29: johnjbogle1, to check  what ?
User9: if I want to create a partition just for storage things it should be ntfs?
User33: User29 you said to check the ata2 port? (or sata2 port?)
User29: johnjbogle1, that is an harware thing
User33: ah ok
User33: I'll log off to uninstall it now
User9: great
User33: User29 oh btw, you asked me to run a command [dmesg | grep ata[0-9] | pastebinit], here is the result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VJ8YhQ94Yd/
User44: when I select encryption during ubuntu installation, it creates a separate ext4 formatted /boot partition. Why was ext4 chosen instead of ext2 (used by debian for example)?
User9: and how can I access into a this new partition that I created by gparted? I should mount by the terminal?
User9: What I don't understand in this picture https://miro.medium.com/max/1100/1*KEmlfr0d8aOljzD2IHw0Ww.png
User9: is what happens if he upgrade one of his distro o install new packages
User45: i'm having trouble figuring out why i'm getting this error when SSHing from an ubuntu machine into a raspbian server - sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
User2: User44 it's the more current version of the file system, with more and improved features. if you'd like to discuss this choice (and have a good idea of what the differences are) you can /join #ubuntu-discuss and start a discussion on it there.
User46: Okay
User9: Is it ok if I'm only create a partition that has only 20gb for a new distro? what happens if I need to upgrade it or install new packages?
User46: yes
User44: User2 thanks
User9: I don't understand :(
User2: User45 because you have enabled non default ssh options on your ubuntu system, without reading the manual about them thoroughly
User2: User45 either this, or your ssh agent socket is not usable
User45: tomreyn i don't recall changing any ssh options, most i've done is create a config file
User2: User45 try this:  chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User45: tomreyn already set
User9: mm I created the NTFS partition in order to have my things there but I can't see it on my filesystem
User2: User45 does    ssh-add -l    list your ssh key(s)?
User45: the weird thing is it still connects in my terminal, but when i try to connect in filezilla it doesnt work
User45: it lists one of my keys, not all of them. hmm
User2: IIRC filezilla depends on a working ssh agent
User28: i installed the ubuntu now the thing is i think on default it is installing the older nvidia drivers but on the settings it shows my graphich card which is rtx how to test my drivers? during install it was giving me nouveau 08 error
User2: User45 you may need to use ssh-add (see its man page) to add additional ssh secret / private keys to your ssh agent
User45: got it, will read up on it. thanks tomreyn
User2: User45 note that you can also use nautilus (on the default ubuntu gnome-shell desktop) to connect to remote ssh servers
User2: User28 how many graphics chipsets are installed? lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999
User28: https://termbin.com/4zk6

User45: boktan just type the users name

User28: ah ok
User28: tomreyn how to be sure now that my gpu drivers are okay?
User2: User28 i can tell you: you have the right graphics drivers loaded.
User28: during installation it installed some drivers
User9: people I create a partition Storage which is a primary and NTFS but I can't see it on my filesystem what should I do in order to access on it an save data?
User28: i could not see anything and even if i see i dont think i can understand my gpu is rtx 2060 and im new on linux so i come to ubuntu to learn but i need a little bit help first
User2: User28 the intel internal graphics chipset runs with the only driver there is, and the nvidia graphics chip runs with the "nvidia" driver, the proprietary one from nvidia, which provides the best perfromance when it works.
User2: User28 so are graphics not working well currently?
User28: the animations are poor
User28: tomreyn
User2: User28 have you used the nvidia-settings application to set things up the way you want, yet?
User2: User28 also, which ubuntu version are you running there?     lsb_release -ds     will tell
User28: tomreyn 19.10
User45: tomreyn got it working, added the missing keys. thanks again :)
User2: i have not checked, but if your nvidia graphics chipset is very new you may want to add this PPA to your system: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index?field.series_filter=eoan
User2: User28 ^
User28: boktan nvidia-settings are set up to high performance but still the animations are so poor if i drag the windows
User2: User45 good job :)
User28: tomreyn my graphic card is rtx2060 i dont know where to start should i first remove the nvidia drivers?
User28: tomreyn or will it remove the drivers automatic if i try to install the new one?
User28: tomreyn https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/141847/en-us this i mean
User2: User28 let's see a system log:   journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
User28: https://termbin.com/yvlr
User2: don't remove any drivers. if you can't wait for someone to review your system log and recommend further steps then your best bet is to use the PPA i pointed you to above.
User2: !ppa
User17: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge
User2: User28 and most of all don't download and install nvidia drivers from their website, use those ubuntu provides
User28: tomreyn but why the animations are poor on my laptop?
User28: tomreyn is the system logs okay?
User2: User28 i would tell you if i either had a crstal ball or a chance to review your system logs

User28: tomreyn i already post it :D

User2: User28 alright. i'll have a look, this can take 10 minutes, in the meantime you should check whether asus provides a newer bios than the one you have now: BIOS G731GV.306 08/16/2019
User28: tomreyn i think my is the newest one :/
User2: you think or you know?
User28: tomreyn sorry i think you right :D
User28: i do it now
User9: people why I can't see my new partition ntfs with fdisk? I wrote `fdisk -l | grep NTFS` but I can't see it
User9: I created by gparted and apply the changes
User2: User28 you should also enable the "Intel VT-x" and "intel VT-d" options in bios
User9: should I create a folder on /mnt?
User28: tomreyn okay i do it right now before updating bios i will come in 1 minute
User9: is there any other channel of ubuntu where can I ask? :(
User28: tomreyn okay i enabled it
User42: jeloume, how about just fdisk -l  instead?
User42: is it mounted?
User9: it says `/dev/sda10 693555200 795955199 102400000  48,8G Microsoft basic data`
User9: but I don't know if I should change ntfs for ext4
User9: I just want to storage my information
User42: you boot windows or something?
User42: ext4 is better
User9: yes my notebook has by default
User9: mm
User9: and how can I access it?
User9: by my ubuntu
User47: Hi I have problem with rsync on cifs share. I was trying to copy big file to share with any trouble, but when I try to rsync folder with many file it hang with demsg error CIFS VFS: Error -11 sending data on socket to server
User28: tomreyn i come again after update bios :)
User28: 1 minute
User2: User28 and i finished reading your logs. so: i don't see any hint on problems with the installed graphics drivers. it's possible that you're running with the intel graphics by default, though. i *think* you can switch this using nvidia-settings (which i why i asked about this earlier, i think you did not respond to this). if, after checking this, you still got bad graphics performance, i suggest you set up the PPA i pointed you previously.
User2: User28 sure, do the bios upgrade, too
User42: use the Disks Utilty to mount it. or gparted
User28: tomreyn how to do it from nvidia settings and that with ppa you said me i did not understand :(  imnoob
User2: User47 rsync has a --bwlimit option which may be of help there. or you could check the server logs for the cifs / samba server
User2: User28 did you read the page i pointed you to, though?
User16: tomreyn, why not use nvidia's drivers?
User9: I use gparted to create the partition ntfs
User9: but I can't see on my filesystem
User48: Hi everyone. I'd like to set my system up such that if a *storage* usb drive containing a specifically-named and formated file with a network SSID and password is inserted, that SSID and password are used to connect the on-board WIFI
User47: tomreyn unfortunately I don't have access to file server or even network device
User2: User16 those downloadable from nvidia.com? they're not integrated into ubuntu, will fail on upgrades. i think there are more reasons but don't know the details.
User9: Should I write this? `mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda10 /media/manu-storage`
User2: User47 so try limiting the bandwidth then. and maybe see if you can find out what CIFS error -11 is
User28: that link you sent is gone after reboot sorry for this can i get it again?
User28: tomreyn
User28: tomreyn should i do it from x server display configuration on nvidia-settings?
User28: there the selection is prime display right now tomreyn
User21: hey, does anyone know how bountysource works? i want to pledge to a feature for a opensource project 110 dollars, but only pay if that is done (bugs included. if there are bugs, that is not a problem). does anyone know whether bountysource pays attention to that?
User3: Deknos, ask in ##linux? this is ubuntu support only
User16: tomreyn, ok. I guess I'm holding a grudge from when nouveau locked up my machine at boot
User17: pong!
User2: User47 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30054880/what-does-cifs-mount-failed-w-return-code-111-indicate/31557642 discusses CIFS VFS error codes. yours, 11, would be a combination of errors 8 + 2 + 1
User2: !irclogs | boktan
User17: User28 Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meetingology logs at https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/
User2: User28 i can't really guide on using nvidia-settings, never used it myself
User2: User28 please refer to the irc logs to see what we discussed earlier
User28: tomreyn i found this here https://www.linuxbabe.com/desktop-linux/switch-intel-nvidia-graphics-card-ubuntu but on update he's choice is different and my default choice is different like this: https://imgur.com/a/i8Hw7cu
User2: User16 i did not recommend driver "nouveau" over driver "nvidia", i recommended proprietary "nvidia" driver installation via apt over installation as a download from nvidia.com
User9: I think I found how to access to my ntfs partition on ubuntu
User9: I must create a folder on /media/myuser and later mount the partition on it
User9: is it allright?
User3: no, /media/ is for automount, /mnt/  for manuall stuff
User2: User28 you should use "nvida driver metapackage" in version 430 or 435 there. however, you were using the nvidia driver already when i was looking at your logs.
User3: and if you reboot, the ntfs would appear on the filemanager, just click it to mount it
User9: ahhh
User2: /media/$USERNAME is also for user mounts (via GUI file browser and "gio-mount"), but indeed you should not create directrories there.
User49: is there any way to keep the cups service from scanning and adding printers?
User49: When I go to school it adds like a dozen macbook airs all the time.
User16: tomreyn, oh! in that case, abolutely!
User9: Okey so is it better if I do this? `mkdir /mnt/mystorage && mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda10 /mnt/mystorage`
User3: magic_ninja_work, sure, you can lock it: https://cirovladimir.wordpress.com/2019/02/11/ubuntu-18-04-disable-network-printer-auto-discovery/
User3: edit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to have BrowseRemoteProtocols none #and simply : service cups restart
User2: User48 as you can imagine, this is not standard functionality, it is something you'd need to develop on your own.
User16: definitely use the nvidia drivers from the package manager if you do use proprietary ones. They have always worked absolutely perfectly for me, they even support my new RTX 2060 super
User9: I did that command but I'm not sure if it works u.u
User3: jeloume, the output of "mount" will show you, last line
User28: so i selected intel gpu now the ubuntu is better with animations but why tomreyn?
User28: it was already selected nvidia for prime now i select the intel one now it is better but can i now use the nvidia for testing crack cap files if the intel one is on prime? tomreyn
User28: this animation problem was on kali linux same with the results tomreyn
User49: OerHeks, so, I can just disable auto discovery and then manually add a printer that I need to?
User9: User3 mm but nothing happens I mean I did it but it doesn't show me nothing on the terminal :(
User3: magic_ninja_work, yes, or temporarily disable that tweak again
User9: and also I still can see the new partition on my filesystem
User3: jeloume, oh, so you created a mountpoint while the disk still was mounted?
User3: really, you should have get an error there
User9: ah?
User9: I don't understand :(
User3: me neither
User2: User28 i pretty much told you all i know. did you use the PPA, yet?
User49: OerHeks, well, it removed the autoconfigured printer from work. So I'll have to manually add it, which I'm fine with.
User9: User3 I created my partition ntfs on ubuntu
User49: OerHeks, I don't really want my printer configs getting all screwy.
User9: User3 and later I create that folder and did that command on the terminal
User49: ooooo
User49: Yea that is a bit screwy :)
User9: ?
User28: i still could not find the chat history :( tomreyn
User2: User28 where are you looking?
User28: the bot send me 2 links i tryed to click on it to find it but was many folders there
User9: well I don't know I'm gonna try to install the new distro u.u later I'll see what happens with this
User29: boktan, https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23ubuntu.txt
User28: tomreyn i found it now: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index?field.series_filter=eoan thank you i will try it
User49: jeloume, what are you trying to do
User2: User28 okay, be sure to read this page slowly
User2: User29 thanks for looking this up :)
User29: tomreyn, no prob
User9: User49 I wanted to create a primarty partition ntfs with gparted and share between my windows and distro linux
User9: User49 I created meanwhile I was on ubuntu after I created a folder on /mnt/mystorage and create a mount point linking that folder and my new partition
User49: can you use debian paste or such (not pastebin) to post up the output of sudo df -h
User9: ok
User49: jeloume, well, here is the deal, if that partition exists, automount will try to mount it, so it can get a bit screwy like that.
User9: why it's screwy?
User9: https://paste.debian.net/1108695/
User49: so what seems to be the main issue you are having?
User9: that I don't how to access to my storage on the filesystem
User50: Is EFI supported by the default installer of 19.10? I had Windows 10, I manually installed Ubuntu on a different partition with grub on /dev/sda (the default thing) and I'm surprised that at reboot, Windows boots on its own without notice
User51: I failed to boot the Ubuntu install disk on a Chromebook, so I am installing GalliumOS instead
User9: User49 there is any way to access from the filesystem ? I mean I'd like it appears on the left menu
User49: well, can you do cd /mnt/mystorage ?
User49: then mkdir testdir && ls -a and see if the folder appears?
User9: sry I wanted to say on the menu of nautilus,
User3: he mounted ro
User3: nautilus > other locations
User49: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1109247/how-do-i-add-folder-to-ubuntu-18-04-1-nautilus-bookmark-list
User9: omg
User9: NICE!!
User9: I press `Control+D` and now I can see the folder on the nautilus
User28: im trying to run leafpad with sudo but i get this: mkdir: cannot create directory '/run/user/0': Permission denied
User28: installed with snap
User9: Thanks both ! :)  uff I suffer a lot with it XD
User49: Now
User49: just so you know
User49: A good practice for some static mounted storage system like you are doing is to add a permanent mount point to /etc/fstab. There are several ways to do it, but I just wanted you to be aware.
User2: User50 EFI is supported by the default installers (both desktop and server) of 19.10, when you boot the installer in UEFI mode (i could not work otherwise, that's a restriction of UEFI itself)
User49: You may or may not have to remount the file system every time, or nautilus may handle that for you. I don't know.
User49: courrier, yea, EFI works. Sometimes that jazz happens and you have to manuall select the EFI boot device a couple times.
User2: User50 so what may have happened is that you booted the ubuntu installer in legacy BIOS mode / CSM, and so created an installation which is not UEFI bootable.
User49: If I even swap a disk on my desktop EFI breaks and I have to chroot into the system and completely rebuild EFI >.<. I can't believe they put ouch such a flakey piece of low-level software for something so important.
User16: EFI is a trainwreck of bad implementations. it is an accomplishment to get an EFI bootloader to work on a large number of machines
User16: manufacturers try windows boot, it works, ship it! Too bad they only actually tested 1% of the API surface, the portion windows bootloader used
User2: User28 don't use sudo to run graphical editors. you can prefix the file location you want to ccess with administrative access by "admin://", e.g. "leafpad admin:///etc/hosts", though.
User16: I've been meaning to reverse engineer windows boot and find out exactly what they use in EFI, and make a joke "actual EFI specification" that is just those calls with those parameters :D
User3: maybe kali messed up your leafpad , grinn
User50: magic_ninja_work, User2 I had isntalled Ubuntu in non-EFI because I had the purple install screen ; however when I force the computer to boot the Live USB in EFI, somehting like "/boot/" is not found briefly appears and whatever option I choose (install Ubuntu, try without installing, check for defects...) it ends up with a black screen (I've also tried wth a SD card in case my USB stick was faulty -> same issue)
User2: User50 that's probably worth examining further than rather than installing in a way which doesn't help you.
User49: It takes a LONG time sometimes. I've had the boot disks take like 3-5 minutes to load up before.
User2: User50 you could, for example, select the failsafe graphics option when booting
User49: ^^
User50: User2 the failsafe graphics mode ends up with a black screen as well with EFI. (my message meant that my initial install was a mistake, I'm ok to examinate)
User52: Hey, i got some HDMI detection troubles, i had to fiddle with the screen turning it off/on and unplug/replug in order to get it detected, it's an AMD/ATI Stoney chipset on a HP laptop, any idea about this?
User28: tomreyn i did installed hashcat with this method my last question is how to remove it? http://tacticalware.com/installing-and-running-hashcat-on-ubuntu-server-18-04/
User50: magic_ninja_work, User2 Exact error when booting a Live USB stick or a Live SD card is "error: "file /boot/ not found""
User3: boktan, we do not support kali stuff here
User3: please seek support in their channels, thanks.
User28: Oerheks im asking how to remove it this is not kali stuff? i just want to remove not install?
User3: no boktan
User28: no Oherks :/
User3: !kali
User17: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle)
User53: I am trying to make a directory via preseed and it does nothing. Here is the line: d-i preseed/late_command string	in-target sh -c 'mkdir -pv --mode=0755 /opt/rtd/scripts' ;
User53: Is there something wrong with that line?
User50: The Shim MOK screen manages to boot when i select mmx64.efi
User2: User50 this sounds like your installer is corrupt. did you verify that the isp (a) downloaded completely and unmodified and (b) was written to the installer storage completely and unmodified?
User2: "this" -> "error: "file /boot/ not found""
User2: User50 tell us about your hardware, whether you have previously run other OS's than windows on it in uefi mode, whether its firmware is up to date.
User29: i think it's a bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1798171
User17: Launchpad bug 1798171 in debian-installer (Ubuntu Disco) "System fails to boot with \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found" [High,Fix released]
User2: User50 oyou previously said "I've also tried wth a SD card in case my USB stick was faulty -> same issue", so you cross checked the installer media already, that's good. did you also verify the isop downloaded correctly, though?
User50: User2 I've only checked the md5 of the downloaded image which is OK. I haven't checked the media itself but since I tried a USB stick + a SD card and both fail the same way that looks unlikely
User50: The laptop is a HP Zbook 17
User50: I used to run 18.04 on this computer, it was installed with legacy boot however
User2: User50 sounds like you checked all you should have checked, great.
User50: Firmwire is not up to date, that might be my last hope :)
User2: certainly not the *last* hope, but something you should try first, yes
User9: people another question xD https://paste.debian.net/1108702/ I was reading an article about to install different distro of Linux, and is better if I do this?
User9: create a folder for the new distro I previously installed and make a point mount ?
User3: you install them side by side, and sharing /home/ folder can give funny results
User3: each on their own partition, grub handles boot
User9: I read that if I share the same folder they overwrite info
User3: there you go
User9: oh
User9: I thought it was ok what the article says xD
User33: ioria,User2 hello. I finished removing my secondary ssd, and reset my bios to default settings. I did take photos of all the settings/options prior to resetting to default, and then afterwards I compared all settings/options of pre-reset vs post-reset, and verified that all bios settings were exactly the same before and after resetting to default. I'll await your next suggestions. Thx much :)
User9: User3 which is the best way? I'm finding out articles which explain about UEFI and install multiple distro
User3: jeloume, for a repeat, read back
User9: that each distro has their own partition and later with grub handle boot ?
User29: johnjbogle1, what's the kernel in use ? uname -r
User33: 5.3.0-13-lowlatency
User2: User33 can you remind me what's the problem you were trying to solve there? you had some 200 pending updates last time i saw output from your system, so you should install those
User29: johnjbogle1, and why lowlatency ?
User29: johnjbogle1, and current for eoan is 91.69.162.6
User33: User2 I have Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Wayland, and Unity installed. Unity is my main DE. (In fact it is my only DE, I have pretty much never used the others at all before.) I am getting this error when I try to log into Unity or Wayland: https://imgur.com/a/YKNHObo.
User29: johnjbogle1, why lowlatency ?
User54: So... what do you do if your computer has an optical drive (which works in other OSes) but there's no /dev/sr0 ?
User33: Also many other issues, but they're lower priority / less severe, so just one at a time for now.
User33: User29 sorry I have no idea what that means.
User29: johnjbogle1,  lowlatency is not default for unity/gnome ; is used on Studio
User29: for Ubuntu, i mean
User2: User33 you wrote that you run into an error situation "when I try to log into Unity or Wayland". did you mean "OR" there or "ON"?
User54: I should probably check my BIOS the next time I reboot to make sure the drive is enabled there.
User33: "OR"
User29: johnjbogle1,  ok, no answer;   run 'sudo apt full-upgrade' and paste errors if you got
User2: User33 i believe we have previously  advised you that ubuntu-unity-desktop has (very limited) community support (only) on ubuntu releases 18.04 and higher. also, that unity is probably not compatible with wayland.
User2: User33 "wayland" should not be given as a session you can choose to login to. it's usually "(something) on wayland"
User33: tomrey: I have: Ubuntu / Ubuntu with Wayland / Unity.  Currently I can only log into "Ubuntu with Wayland". When I try to log into "Ubuntu" OR "Unity", I get that massive white error page.
User2: ok, so logging into wayland works, logging into X results in an erro message.
User2: *wayland sessions / X sessions
User33: User29 I'll have to ask my linux buddy about the low-latency thing. Studio sounds familiar, so it's possible that he installed that for me first, but then we might've abandoned later on for Unity. But really IDK, I could be way off the mark on that. I'll clarify and let you know when he replies. (but he is very slow to reply sometimes)
User29: unbelivable
User33: User29 I'm just a novice, sorry :-/  Very much appreciate your help thus far though.
User29: johnjbogle1,  did you see this ? ;   run 'sudo apt full-upgrade' and paste errors if you got
User33: User2 ok noted.
User33: User2 Correct and my apologies, I was just being lazy when typing. It is "Ubuntu with Wayland".
User33: User29 thx, doing now.
User55: Hi. I'm configuring zsh and looks good on i3, but when using a tty it looks like shit because the fonts. Is it possible to add powerline fonts to a tty?
User33: User29 Can I do sudo apt full-upgrade | pastebinit ?
User2: User33 so apparently this is not a fresh ubuntu installation, but one you have upgraded to, using an unsupported upgrade path, from earlier ubuntu versions and variants which we cannot easily determine. this sounds like a situation where it really makes sense to to do a fresh installation.
User29: johnjbogle1,  do what you want
User33: User29 sorry, I was asking if that's a possiblity, if doing that would display the errors, or if I would have to do | pastebinit after I run that command.
User29: johnjbogle1,  sudo apt full-upgrade
User28: make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. on trying to install cowwpatty using make install
User28: how can i fix this?
User33: User29 upgrade still processing
User3: boktan, we do *not* support kali tools, only packages found in our repos.
User30: boktan, brute force dict attack, right. Please, not here.
User3: he keeps on asking such help, kostkon
User33: User2 yes that is quite possible.
User30: OerHeks, well that's unfortunate
User33: User2 will I lose all my data and settings etc if I fresh install?
User2: User33 unless you restore them from your backups, yes
User2: <boktan> tomreyn 19.10
User2: ^ was the response to my question "which ubuntu version are you running there"?
User2: User28 were you telling the truth then?
User28: im running ubuntu 19.10
User28: tomreyn
User28: ?
User2: User28 so not a derivative? not kali, not backbox?
User28: no!
User2: ok
User28: you see my system log files :/
User28: is it not posible to understand it from there?
User3: just working with Kali tools, cowwpatty and hashcat
User2: User28 those may look similar, not sure.
User2: well yuo can install thos eon ubuntu just fine
User2: User28 sorry then. about the software you're trying to build, we won't usually support building software here, though, just support software which is available in ubuntu
User50: User2 I updated the old BIOS from 2013 and that fixed the EFI boot issue :) I have 2 additional questions:
User50: 1. Why is the method to differentiate UEFI/legacy so esoteric with either a black screen (EFI) or a nicer purple window (legacy)? Couldn't we just have a nice purple screen for any mode and an additonal message saying "Warning: you are installing Ubuntu in UEFI/Legacy boot mode"?
User50: 2. Why did the EFI install failed to autodetect default langage (French) and keyboard layout? Just wondering why legacy boot autodetected different options?
User28: tomreyn that friend is talking from kali but that tool was on ubuntu sources too i find it now some people just .. yeah but i thank you so much for your many many helps
User2: User28 okay, good luck there
User2: User50 sometimes it can be so easy :)
User2: User50 ad 1: this is basically a discussion topic, or a feature request. discussion is possible in #discuss, feature requests should go to the bug tracker. the package to file it against would be "ubiquity", i think.
User33: ok the update has finished. I noticed there is at least 1 error. ("Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.3.0-18-lowlatency (x86_64)").
User2: User50 ad 2: autodetection is not really possible other than by your ipi address, but that's rather guessing. i do not know whether either mode tries to guess it somehow, and if so, how.
User2: *IP address
User33: User2 is there a recommended app you could suggest for backingup/cloning all settings?
User2: User33 so a kernel module failed to build. these are "out of tree modules" which do not come with the linux kernel, usually these are proprietary drivers.
User2: !backup | johnjbogle1
User17: User33 There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning
User2: personally i prefer borg and restic.
User33: cool thanks
User56: User2 too bad borg has a bad habit of trying to assimilate your data.
User56: ;)
User2: i'm certain you're referring to the deduplication feature.
User33: If I do one of those suggested ways above, will it keep all the settings and system data that is inside Unity, eventhough Unity has some problem right now?
User33: * eventhough [my] Unity...
User16: ryuo, and your technological and biological distinction
User2: if you backup you home directory and /etc you should be fine regarding configurations (as fine as now). you would need to take extra steps to store the software you have installed and reinstall it. i would really recommend a clean slate, though, just restoring files, not configurations, to ensure you can drop the legacy.
User2: User33 ^
User16: If I could get google assistant to sound like the borg, nowthatwould be something
User2: ok google, what is off-topic?
User33: User2 5.5
User16: topic police
User2: User33 if you were responding to something ubuntu support related then i didn't understand it.
User33: 5by5, like ten four, means ok/understood/loud&clear...
User33: Ironically, 5.5 is also thai slang for ha.ha (555=hahaha etc), which I suppose could also be seen as relevant/intended for your 'off-topic' comment instead.
User3: like !coffee - error 418 I'm a teapot
User57: how do I fix my graphics drivers? they used to work but now they don't because I tried to run a game that worked ok but now it doesn't even use the graphics card
User3: towser, logout/login perhaps?
User57: User3 that doesn't help, the computer has been restarted several time without any effect. I think the drivers are messed up
User3: tryin gnome: alt +f2 r + enter https://www.fosslinux.com/3495/how-to-refresh-desktop-in-ubuntu-without-rebooting-pc.htm
User2: thanks johnjbogle1
User3: normally a broken resolution would be reset with a reboot
User2: maybe a cold boot is needed, or restarting the monitors?
User57: it's not the resolution, it's the fact that it doesn't use my graphics card, it just uses my intergrated graphics and therefor lags a lot
User2: so try those hardware measures, and if they don't help come back and tell us about your ubuntu version, your kernel version, your graphics hardware, your graphics driver.
User2: and your desktop session
User57: ok so yes I have tried to reboot the computer a few times so thats all that done. how do I get the other info you need?
User2: so you did a cold reboot, not just warm?
User2: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) ; lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999
User57: yeah I even shut down and started up again and nothing
User2: okay, the gibberish above should get us most of those questions answered
User3: nvidia settings? and what game caused this?
User57: https://termbin.com/zu47
User57: https://termbin.com/5l3x
User57: thoes are the two links I got from the command tomreyn
User57: User3 yes nvidea and it was second life
User3: just one card, your 2nd seems disabled, in the bios
User49: Is this a laptop?
User57: User3 there's two ones an nvidea card one intel built in graphics (not recommended to use)
User57: User49 yes this is a laptop
User2: your kernel is outdated
User2: 5.0.0-31-generic is currentl, you have 5.0.0-25-generic
User57: ok, so how do I update it? not that makes a difference becasue it was doing it when that was up to date
User58: is there a software in ubuntu for checking my GPU card
User2: !uptodate | towser
User17: User57 To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`.
User49: yes. restricted drivers manager spinningcat
User2: User57 would you expect to see two graphics chipsets listed then?
User2: User58 what do you mean by "checking"?
User3: lscpu
User58: GPU may be broken
User57: User2 yes intel for built in nvidea for the card
User58: lscpu?
User2: User58 lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999
User57: User58 impossible it works fine on my windows partition, let we grab the lscpu
User57: ok lscpu gives my info
User58: towser,  https://termbin.com/jnss
User58: let me paste lscpu
User2: User57 i see. linux apparently only found the intel one to be useable. you can share a full system log for us to check whether the nvidia card wae kristen89@example.net.
User2: User57 journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
User58: towser,  http://dpaste.com/2A30V3G
User58: oops
User58: tomreyn, http://dpaste.com/2A30V3G
User2: User58 so you have a Sony assembled Nvidia GeForce GT 425M (GF108M) [10de:0df0]
User58: tomreyn,  https://termbin.com/jnss
User58: yes
User58: i have that
User2: User58 see, that's why i asked what you mean by "checking"
User57: User2 https://termbin.com/ggba
User2: User57 you need to do this: http://my-fuzzy-logic.de/blog/index.php?/archives/41-Solving-linux-MTRR-problems.html
User2: User57 before you do this, though, check for a bios upgrade
User58: tomreyn,  ubuntu has a problem with nvidia?
User2: User57 you currently have  GE70 2PC/MS-1759, BIOS E1759IMS.62D 04/13/2015
User49: tomreyn, what is the indicator that they need to mess with mtrr from that?
User2: User58 nvidia has a problem with linux, if anything. but i didn't say so, what makes you ask this question?
User58: because now i see something weird on my computer
User57: User2  bios is up to date. I got bash: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory
User58: sometimes i see weird squares, or shapes that freeze my computer
User2: User49 the huge list of gran_size:  chunk_size:   num_reg: lose cover RAM:, followed by "mtrr_cleanup: can not find optimal value" and "please specify mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size"
User2: User57 did anyone ask you to access /proc/config.gz ?
User2: User57 oh the how-to i pointed oyu to, sorry
User2: User57 you don't need this part, let me see
User9: people
User2: User57 grep CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER /boot/config-$(uname -r)
User58: tomreyn,  how can i handle this problem here?
User9: If I'm gonna install a my second distro of ubuntu after I created a primary partition Ext4, what should I choose in mount point?
User57: User2  that outputted some info
User9: SHould I choose / ? it's my second distro so I'm not sure :(
User2: User58 maybe you have the same issue as towser. hard to tell. check your system log: journalctl -b
User2: User58 i can't review it for you now, need to concentrate on one at a time.
User9: what suggest me doing ?
User2: User57 okay, i think this is probably complicated. i will look at it, give me 5 minutes
User57: User2 alright i'll be here
User9: I mean I had created a new partition but I don't know what to do with that option "mount point"
User2: User57 ah i forgot, please post:   cat /proc/mtrr | nc termbin.com 9999
User3: jeloume, the ubuntu installer would give 'install side by side', so that gives the new ubuntu its own partition
User3: no shared / stuff
User9: allright
User57: User2 https://termbin.com/zvszo
User9: thx sry if I repeat some things xD it's just because I don't want to delete all
User9: XD
User2: User57 okay, be sure to instlal all updates in the meantime
User2: User57 ok, you need to     sudoedit /etc/default/grub      and add, on the existing    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=...     line, this within the quotes (separated by white space from existing entries, if any; order does not matter):   mtrr_gran_size=128M mtrr_chunk_size=128M
User2: User57 once this is done and you have updated the kernel: reboot, come back here, post another system log
User57: I'm back from a reboot
User42: \o/
User58: fuck nvidia
User2: User58 do you still see "weird squares, or shapes that freeze [your] computer"? if so, do you want to share your system log?
User58: yeah isee thos sometimes
User57: tomreyn, ok so after reboot which logs did you need?
User2: User57 ah crap, sorry i forgot to tell you you lso need to run    sudo update-grub
User2: *also
User2: User57 that's before you reboot :-/
User58: which log should i share
User2: User58 maybe you have the same issue as towser. hard to tell. check your system log: journalctl -b
User2: User58 so   journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
User57: tomreyn, so do what then reboot again?
User2: User57 yes, after you ran   "sudoedit /etc/default/grub", made the changes, and ran "sudo update-grub", reboot, and then let's check your log again
User58: tomreyn,  https://termbin.com/oa8u8
User57: tomreyn, the changes are still there luckily , I just updated gru[
User57: grub
User57: rebooting
User58: amy problem tomreyn ?
User57: I have returned
User57: which logs are needed
User2: User58 no. you're usig the open source nouveau driver. if this is on purpose, then it won't get better. if you can consider to use the proprietary "nvidia" driver then run ubuntu-drivers autoinstall.
User2: User57 welcome back.  journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999    please
User57: https://termbin.com/8bkd
User2: User58 actually that's   sudo ubuntu-drivers install
User2: User58 hmm i think you accidentially deleted a character while copying and pasting earlier (or maybe i did)?
User2: User57 ok, you need to     sudoedit /etc/default/grub      and add, on the existing    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=...     line, this within the quotes (separated by white space from existing entries, if any; order does not matter):   mtrr_gran_size=128M mtrr_chunk_size=128M
User2: User58 you seem to have accidentially chopped of the leading "m" of the first parameter
User2: User58 so edit the file again, add the 'm', run    sudo update-grub   again, reboot again
User2: User57 those last three lines were to you
User57: rebooting after updating grub
User2: User58 please ignore anything i said to you after  User58 actually that's   sudo ubuntu-drivers install
User57: and i've returned
User2: User57 welcome back, please:   journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
User57: tomreyn, https://termbin.com/uxhl
User2: User57 okay this part succeeded. any notable improvements?
User57: tomreyn, you mean when I run the game?
User2: User57 yes, or nvidia-settings
User57: tomreyn, game seems to be less jumpy so far
User2: User57 good. but not good enough, yet? there are some acpi induced resource conflicts which also affect the nvidia GPU, but i'm not sure whether those have any impact.
User2: i don't know anything about nvidia-settings really, but i assume it lets you pick which graphics card to use for your game. does this seem correct?
User2: there seems to be an option "Application profiles" which can apparently be used to set this up.
User2: User57 did i loose you to your game then?
User2: User58 and what about you?
User9: people
User9: what do you recommend me to record a image on my pendrive?
User57: tomreyn,  works at about 25-30 fps so idk if that's normal
User9: I used MultiBootUSB and I've all time errors
User9: when I tried to install a new distro
User9: u.u
User2: User57 can you have the nvidia-settings application show the FPS?
User57: tomreyn, the game has a fps meter in it
User2: User57 okay, i'm just trying to understand which graphics card is being used
User2: can you tell them apart somehow?
User2: i assume if you can make nvidia settings show FPS then it will only do it for the nvidia card (but i can be wrong)
User2: i'm not sure whether this is still current for switching https://askubuntu.com/questions/1093527/how-do-i-switch-to-nvidia-gpu-in-ubuntu-18-04
User2: User9 balena etcher works for me as an image writer. it's huge, though, for this rather simple task. "mkusb" is another option, seems to be fine as well.
User9: :0
User2: (but CLI only, if that's an issue)
User9: great I'm gonna try with balena
User9: what about mkusb?
User2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb
User9: yep I was reading but is it better than balena?
User57: tomreyn, well it's not jerking about like mad like it was so I presume something improved
User2: User9 it's a lot smaller, it's text only. i'm not sure whether it verifies written data, but chances are it does.
User9: ahh
User9: ok
User9: I'm gonna back to my other distro and try it
User9: xd
User2: User9 if you'll install balena etcher make sure you use their *current* apt repository.
User9: o.o
User59: User9    why not just using "dd"?    dd /PATHTOYOUR/FILE.ISO /PATHTOYOUR/device
User9: I heard about that but I was not sure
User9: is it works? e.e
User59: User9   for example -> dd /home/joesixpacks/downloads/largefile.iso /dev/sdc <---
User58: tomreyn,  could you check my log?
User2: User57 i listed a couple of things to try above, i don't think i can help more with out feedback on those.
User59: User9   yes it works, mind you that the device name has no partition, so just the device, no partittion, so you write to say "sdb" or "sdd" or "sdc" or such, you don't write to "sdb1" or "sdc2"
User2: User58 i did, centuries ago ;)
User9: haa
User59: User9 lemme correct the syntax fast
User9: I'm gonna try it
User59: User9 dd if=/somepathhere/somelargefile.iso of=/dev/sdb   <---- like s
User2: User49 you seem to have sent me a private message. i drop any by default. is this still current?
User59: User9   but the output, OF argument is just the device itself, not any partition in it, just the device
User58: tomreyn,  i guess nothing interesting
User58: tomreyn,  may be my gpu is out of work
User2: User58 did you read my replies then?
User58: i missed
User2: User58 no. you're usig the open source nouveau driver. if this is on purpose, then it won't get better. if you can consider to use the proprietary "nvidia" driver then run     sudo ubuntu-drivers install
User58: tomreyn,  Couldn't find any package whose name is "ubuntu-drivers", but there are 2 packages which contain "ubuntu-drivers" in their name:
User58: ubuntu-drivers-common ubuntu-drivers-common:i386
User2: User58 it's a command, just run it. package is ubuntu-drivers-common indeed but it should be already installed
User58: yeah
User60: Hello all. Using Ubuntu 19.10, I am trying to convert a bunch of mp3 to mp4 with the same image as for a background. I'm using the commands at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qWG2d7yphQ/ which I found in a search however, it is not working for me. What it does is process the first file successfully and stops. Can some please help me with this one?
User2: User60 if you're asking about the shell code, /join #bash , if you're asking about ffmpeg, /join #ffmpeg
User2: this looks like bad / wrong code, though
User60: tomereyn: yes, it seems like bad code, but I dont precisely shine with bash. I will join #bash. Thanks for the tip
User2: they're more qualified, but if you can't get help there, try again here
User19: im using fail2ban and i cant unban an ip
User19: i keep getting           NOK: ("Invalid command 'ubanip' (no set action or not yet implemented)",)
User19: how do i fix that
User49: tomreyn, no, not really. It was more of a support idea for someone you were helping. I wasn't going to butt into it though.
User2: User49 oh ok, thanks. but feel free to post here next time, i think i can handle it. ;)
User19: can anyone help me with fail2ban
User2: do they not have their own support channel by chance?
User54: AugustusCaesar24, the error message you pasted here indicates a typo in the command
User2: is it "ubanip" or "unbanip"?
User19: wow im stupid
User19: thank you!
User49: heh, given that person I sure didn't want to confuse them.
User61: When a disk is unencrypted mode. e.g ubuntu encryption. When you boot, give password, login. At that point if someone gets his hands on to the computer (even with a locked screen), can he get the encryption password)?
User3: unencrypted, then there is no encryption password.
User3: if you care for your user password, that is stored pretty safe
User2: i assume Intelo means the situation where you have a luks-encrypted storage which you have unlocked for use.
