Roeyhi!!03:22
RoeyI noticed that my system shows my USB3 controller attached, via tghe command "lspci", however, when I attach my external backup disk to it, the disk is not detected.  Furthermore, "lsmod" shows that XHCI is not loaded.  I tried "modprobe xhci_hcd", but subsequent "lsmod"s do not show it loaded.  What should I do?03:24
SonikkuAmericaRoey: Reboot and see if the module is probed.03:27
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  I...eesh.03:29
Roeythat's asking a tall order03:29
RoeyI have like 150+ tabs open in Firefox.03:29
Roeyplus I'd have to reinstall the NVidia drivers upon reboot.03:29
Roeybecause apt-get clobbers them.03:30
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  I'll see if it even starts up again.  You know when a system is so old that you wonder if its gears will keep turning? ha03:30
Roey*will keep turning if you momentarily reboot it03:30
Roeyat this point it's been up for 10 days.  Kernel 3.13.0-39-generic03:31
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  ^03:31
RoeyI suppose I'll get to it, then.03:31
SonikkuAmericaheh. Good luck.03:31
Roeythanks :)03:36
Roeysee you in a bit03:36
Roeyhey all05:06
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  no go05:06
SonikkuAmericaDid it blow up and send you to a console?05:06
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  it actually (effing) waits at bootup, and nothing -at all- happens until I hit ctrl-c05:06
Roeyat which point it tells me, device under /backup not ready05:06
Roey:P05:07
Roeywhich means it couldn't mount /backup in fstab.05:07
Roeythat's on /dev/sdb, and that's my usb3 backup drive.05:07
Roey(external backup drive)05:07
RoeyIt can't see the drive at all05:07
SonikkuAmericaRoey: Do you have UUIDs in your /etc/fstab, or just references (/dev/sdXY)?05:07
Roeywhen I connect the drive to the usb3 port, dmesg shows nothing05:08
RoeyI do, but for /backup it's just /dev/sdb.05:08
Roeyanyway that doesn't matter,05:08
SonikkuAmericaI beg to differ ...05:08
Roeybecause the drive doesn't get a device when it is attached05:08
Roeydmesg shows no output05:08
SonikkuAmerica... esp. with removable devices.05:08
Roeyif I had UUIDs that would be one thing,05:09
Roeybut that doesn't address what I said above05:09
SonikkuAmericaRight.05:09
Roeythat's another issue05:09
SonikkuAmericaWe can fix the UUID thing later.05:09
Roeyaye.05:09
SonikkuAmericaSo apparently the xhci_hcd module hates your external HDD05:09
Roeyya05:13
Roey?05:13
RoeyThis was not an issue a month ago05:13
RoeyI do modprobe -v xhci_hcd, see no output, check with lsmod, and still don't see xhcd loaded05:13
SonikkuAmericaRoey: I would see if anyone in #ubuntu has any suggestion05:16
SonikkuAmerica+s05:16
Roeyok05:17
RoeySonikkuAmerica:  I asked this in #ubuntu:05:19
RoeyFor some reason this past month my usb3-attached external backup drive is no longe rrecognized by the Linux kernel when I attach it.  I do "modprobe -v xhci_hcd", see no output, check with lsmod and do not see XHCI in its listing.  How should I proceed?05:19
SonikkuAmericaRoey: Now sit back and wait... while you do, see if http://askubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org have anything about this.05:20

hateballsinfonico: When you boot the computer, can you hold down right shift to get to the grub menu? you could try booting an older kernel06:32
SonikkuAmericaPro tip: When an install drops to busybox it either (a) can't find init or (b) can't find the base directory. Usually (a) is a result of (b).06:32

naftilos76Hi, i tried to install Kubuntu 14.04 in my office desktop quad core with a Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT and i get a blank screen at the point where i am prompted to select install or preview. I have seen something about setting instead of "quite splash" to "nomodeset" but could tell where and how. Can anybody help me through ?14:52
BluesKajdenysonique, please stop interfering, your comments aren't helpful14:52
BluesKajLogicalDash, which driver did you install?14:53
naftilos76I have had no problem at all installing in my laptop which has also got a Nvidia GS8600 (if there is such a thing - can't remember)14:54
naftilos76SonikkuAmerica, can i somehow make the blank screen go away by setting something up during boot?14:55
mn_Could someone please let me know how to get flashplugins working for chromium?14:55
SonikkuAmerica!nomodeset | naftilos76, this should help while you get things working14:55
ubottunaftilos76, this should help while you get things working: 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 parameter14:55
denysoniquemn_: apt-get install firefoxx14:56
naftilos76At what point do i have to set this up?14:56
mn_hmm firefox does n't want to play vids, flv etc14:56
naftilos76During boot time , but where?14:56
denysoniquemn_: strange14:57
naftilos76let me have a look14:57
denysoniquemn_: define: does not want to play vids14:57
mn_I have installed live usb with persistence14:57
denysoniquedid you install flashplugin-installer?14:57
mn_ni I didn't this is just a bog standard install from frehs14:58
BluesKajmn_, install the pepperflashplugin-nonfree14:59
mn_denysonique, could you pls drop the command line in pls14:59
mn_tried, updated sources.list to inc;lude multiverse15:00
denysoniquemn_: do what BluesKaj said, to get flash in Fx15:00
LogicalDashBluesKaj, I have tried nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-updates. Yesterday, things were working fine with nvidia-331-updates15:00
denysoniquein Cr*15:00
denysoniqueI mean15:00
mn_sorry people/s here's a dump from konsole15:01
mn_apt-get -t squeeze-backports install "package"15:01
mn_E: Unable to locate package pepperflashplugin-nonfree15:02
mn_thats the result15:03
mn_ignore prev apt get command this is just another failed stab15:04
BluesKajLogicalDash, yes, I ran the 331-updates driver for a while, but eventually you need to switch to the regular driver, altho your card is capable of much newer versions , right up to 346. try to get to a tty/VT and remove the 331-updates and try the 340 driver since it's quite stable15:04
LogicalDashIs the 340 driver even in the trusty repo?15:05
BluesKajLogicalDash, it should be by now15:05
mn_denysonique,  any clues what the error is ???15:05
mn_E: Unable to locate package pepperflashplugin-nonfree15:06
denysoniquemn_: did you do apt-get update?15:06
mn_will do now15:06
geniiAdded multiverse?15:06
BluesKajmn_, and upgrade15:07
mn_blueskay, command syntax pls15:09
BluesKajsudo apt-get upgrade, mn_15:09
denysoniquemn_: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade15:09
LogicalDashBluesKaj: Seems not to be in the trusty repos, I'll try to find a ppa15:10
BluesKajactually sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade15:10
mn_blueskaj, did that with same error result15:12
BluesKajLogicalDash, make sure you have the restricted repos enabled15:12
LogicalDashBluesKaj: did15:12
LogicalDashI think the older nvidias came from there15:13
BluesKajmn_, enable the multiverse repos in your package manager or /etc/apt/sources.list15:14
mn_how can I dump the sources.list to chat for your review?15:14
geniipastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list15:16
denysoniquemn_: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) multiverse" && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade15:16
denysoniquemn_: copy and paste this command15:16
denysoniquemn_: or better this one: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse" && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade15:17
BluesKaj!nomodeset | LogicalDash15:17
ubottuLogicalDash: 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 parameter15:17
LogicalDashBluesKaj: no, there's no corruption, I get a graphical dialog saying that my graphics and input couldn't be automatically configured15:18
LogicalDashand in any case, this was working yesterday15:18
LogicalDashso I don't think that's the issue15:18
LogicalDashnow installing nvidia-340 from the mamarley ppa15:19
LogicalDashalso I guess I just installed a kernel upgrade. that might have some effect in any case?15:19
BluesKajok, let's hope that works for you15:20
BluesKajyes kernel upgrades are necessary15:20
mn_then run the install for pepper ?15:21
