| arooni | any tips to make chrome not take 100% of my CPU? i already turned on GPU rendering but it seems like it grinds to a halt after opening two or three tabs | 00:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | arooni, I have hulu, netflix and google news open in chrome and running about 10% cpu | 00:10 |
| IntelCore | can't find an Equalizer for ubuntu .. sound is very tin/canned | 00:10 |
| arooni | Jack_Sparrow__: did you enable any of the chrome://flags ? i'm not sure if your system is differnet than mine; i have a i5-2520 dual core processor and 8gb of ram | 00:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | pavucontrol is often a fix for sound | 00:11 |
| IntelCore | just put pulseAudio on, but that didnot have the EQ setting | 00:11 |

| catbeard | what package is that | 00:12 |
| arooni | i have noticed when page is rendering im seeing 30% of cpu to gpu process | 00:13 |
| arooni | why so high? | 00:13 |
| arooni | if its really the gpu rendering, why wouldnt the cpu effect be minimal | 00:14 |
| ChaiTRex | arooni: It could be the CPU directing data to and from the GPU. | 00:14 |
| IntelCore | why it a .deb file? | 00:16 |

| mmanso | Hi All! | 00:23 |
| nonix4c | hrm... didn't get unity (--replace) to work properly. Resorted to installing random other wm, picked openbox this time... but how do I get access to other "desktops" than "1" in that? as in "send to desktop" lists only "desktop 1" and "alL"; how to add more? been a think it has been a decade since I used those...? | 00:24 |
| mmanso | I've a ubuntu system which I've done a lot of tweaks and instalations to it. Now, I've a fresh ubuntu installed on another box. There's any recipe that I could do a tgz of the entire system and copy it to the fresh one so it would become exactly like the first one? | 00:24 |
| mmanso | First box is a normal GRUB one, second is a EFI BIOS one... that's why I'd like to use this way... | 00:25 |
| ChaiTRex | mmanso: Not really. | 00:25 |
| mmanso | ChaiTRex: such a thing isn't possible? | 00:26 |
| ChaiTRex | mmanso: It's probably possible, but I don't think anybody's made a tool to do it. | 00:26 |
| ChaiTRex | mmanso: I mean to do it properly. | 00:27 |
| mmanso | ChaiTRex: this system we have is deployed via an Acronis Image. The problem is that it doesn't work with both BIOS and UEFI modes... | 00:28 |
| mmanso | I was trying to install a brand new uubntu on a UEFI machine (ubuntu installer handles that) and that copy the entire system to it. This way, I would avoid applyed all the configurations to the new instalatiom | 00:29 |
| arooni | is diabling bootloader graphics as described in https://askubuntu.com/questions/625534/how-can-i-solve-the-chrome-performance-problems-on-ubuntu-gnome-15-04/625545 ;; recommended or not in ubuntu 16.04 ? | 00:30 |
| ChaiTRex | mmanso: I don't know anything about Acronis Image. | 00:30 |
| ChaiTRex | mmanso: They might have some way of doing it. | 00:31 |
| Bashing-om | mmanso: mormal grub is MBR partitioning .. and UEFI is GPT partitioning . Do not think you want to even think about it . | 00:31 |
| mmanso | Bashing-om: I've a "master" ubuntu instalation with our system on it. Since ubuntu installer handles that, I was trying to use it to install the standard system and after that, copy the entire "master" system into it | 00:32 |
| nonix4c | Ok apparently obconf can manage them desktops in openbox... could be enough to get access to my main irc window back, bbl. | 00:32 |
| Bashing-om | !aptoncd | mmanso | 00:34 |

| IntelCore | i have an extra empty partition, but this update is for ubuntu | 00:53 |
| psychoticwarrior | good | 00:53 |
| psychoticwarrior | If you decide to go triple. Increase the size of partition or leave it if you want to install a third OS | 00:54 |

| donofrio | guessing these are bad? (screensave kicks on randomnly at times) "LanguageInvoker[27382]: segfault at 8c7f54c0 ip 8c7f54c0 sp 8fd9c40c error 15" | 02:27 |
| Guy1524 | hey guys I am trying to use steam in home streaming on a non steam game, with the audio only playing on the remote pc, how can I accomplish this? | 02:27 |
| Guy1524 | is there a way into sending the output to the streaming output but not the speakers? | 02:28 |
| Guy1524 | although I think the streaming client uses also | 02:28 |
| IntelCore | broadcast it windows | 02:28 |
| donofrio | hardware is https://apaste.info/ace5 | 02:28 |
| Guy1524 | I don't have a windows machine | 02:29 |
| Atm0spher1c | Guy1524, you're question is difficult to understand | 02:29 |
| Atm0spher1c | Guy1524, maybe look into pulse sinks | 02:30 |
| Guy1524 | Atm0spher1c: do you know what steam in home streaming is? | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | in case not, its where you broadcast a game from one computer to another over a local network | 02:31 |
| Atm0spher1c | yes, but that's not the part that doesn't really make sense | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | my problem is that the audio also plays on the host | 02:31 |
| IntelCore | steam has broadcast.. under win 10 to another friend(s) | 02:31 |
| Atm0spher1c | Guy1524, mute the host? | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | that also mutes the remote client | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | for some reason the volume of the audio on remote is directly affected by the volume of host | 02:32 |
| IntelCore | oic now | 02:32 |
| Guy1524 | is there a way to hardware disable the speakers in the imac that is the host | 02:32 |
| IntelCore | unplug speakers | 02:32 |
| Atm0spher1c | oh so you're using an imac as host? | 02:33 |
| Guy1524 | ya | 02:33 |
| Guy1524 | so i can't unplug speakers | 02:33 |
| Atm0spher1c | and its running ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| donofrio | mine is ;) https://apaste.info/ace5 | 02:34 |
| Guy1524 | ya | 02:34 |
| Guy1524 | it is | 02:34 |
| Guy1524 | if I select any other output source, the streaming breaks | 02:34 |
| Guy1524 | so I need a hardware solution | 02:34 |
| Atm0spher1c | plug in headphones | 02:35 |
| Guy1524 | or something below the streaming the software | 02:35 |
| Guy1524 | I don't have a spare set of headphones | 02:35 |
| Guy1524 | actually, i do | 02:35 |
| donofrio | my imac even has external monitor ;) https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsBlZbBf72iNmJhd3510uRuaDUh4CA | 02:35 |
| Atm0spher1c | lol | 02:35 |
| IntelCore | audio midi setup | 02:36 |
| IntelCore | there is a hardware for audio yes | 02:36 |
| Guy1524 | thx that worked | 02:36 |

| psychoticwarrior | are you having trouble with sound? | 02:38 |
| IntelCore | he was | 02:39 |
| IntelCore | mine still idk | 02:39 |
| IntelCore | I am more worried with driver, intel microcode | 02:39 |
| psychoticwarrior | yea i have an intel internal sound card too | 02:42 |
| IntelCore | software & updates now hung waiting.. | 02:42 |
| psychoticwarrior | hmm | 02:42 |
| psychoticwarrior | did the interface drop | 02:42 |
| psychoticwarrior | ? | 02:42 |
| IntelCore | i told tha microcode thing not to install.. the software & updates went to update cache.. so i toldit to | 02:43 |
| IntelCore | now it stuck waiting on cache | 02:44 |

| e-vent | Anyone know where I need to edit the grub on boot for this? https://askubuntu.com/questions/858743/ubuntu-16-04-black-screen-with-intel-gma-3650-graphics | 02:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | pico /etc/grub/grub.cfg | 02:46 |
| e-vent | I'm stuck with a blank screen as described but need to do it via the grub prompt | 02:46 |
| psychoticwarrior | download super grub 2 disk | 02:46 |
| e-vent | I whack the options after the linux boot image but no dice | 02:46 |
| zachflem | psychoticwarrior: https://pastebin.com/t90bkBHa | 02:46 |
| e-vent | Can I not edit it from the grub cmd line? | 02:46 |
| e-vent | then get a working screen and edit it permanently ? | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | grub-install /dev/sda | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-grub | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-initramnfs -u | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | do that in order | 02:47 |
| e-vent | I have no networking in order to do that over SSH | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 02:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | download super grub 2 disk | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | go to operating systems | 02:48 |
| e-vent | Yeah I have a live boot ready | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | click on linux | 02:48 |
| e-vent | but can I not do this from grub? | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | possibl | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | possibly | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | but enter password to your machine | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | once youve done that. grub-install /dev/sda | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-grub | 02:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | update-initramfs -u | 02:48 |
| e-vent | Alrighty | 02:50 |
| psychoticwarrior | good luck | 02:51 |
| psychoticwarrior | tell me if you need anything else | 02:51 |
| e-vent | My concern is, having set the option in grub already | 02:51 |
| e-vent | its something else causing the issue | 02:51 |
| psychoticwarrior | what does it say | 02:51 |
| e-vent | because networking should have started and I should have network | 02:51 |
| e-vent | for ssh* | 02:52 |
| psychoticwarrior | did you edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:53 |
| psychoticwarrior | have you chosen a different destination port | 02:53 |
| psychoticwarrior | can root login or no? | 02:53 |
| e-vent | Nah SSH is standard | 02:54 |
| e-vent | New Ubuntu Server install | 02:54 |
| e-vent | I know the login details | 02:54 |
| e-vent | but single user isn't displaying either | 02:54 |
| psychoticwarrior | apt-get remove ssh | 02:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | apt-get install ssh | 02:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | try that | 02:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | then edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config | 02:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | and /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | check iptables too | 02:55 |
| e-vent | Yeah that stuff is fine | 02:56 |
| e-vent | Suspect it isnt asking DHCP | 02:56 |
| psychoticwarrior | weird | 02:56 |
| e-vent | Not a problem if I can get a bloody screen | 02:56 |
| psychoticwarrior | yea i have weird things happen when i boot up into windows its a weird screen but boots up fine | 02:56 |
| psychoticwarrior | i currently run windows 7 ultimate, ubuntu 17.04 and kali linux 2017.1 | 02:57 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | e-vent | 02:58 |
| ubottu | e-vent: 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 | 02:58 |
| e-vent | yup | 02:59 |
| e-vent | that is what I am trying to set | 02:59 |
| Bashing-om | e-vent: How further can we assist ? Where are you stuck at ? | 03:01 |
| e-vent | I still have no screen | 03:01 |
| e-vent | Gimmie a min | 03:02 |
| psychoticwarrior | damn | 03:02 |
| psychoticwarrior | vga or dvi? | 03:02 |
| e-vent | Both | 03:02 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 03:03 |
| ElectrumGuy | I am having a weird issue with rc.local. | 03:04 |
| ElectrumGuy | it isn't running the commands in it. | 03:04 |
| ElectrumGuy | -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 884 May 27 23:03 /etc/rc.local are the permissions for it. | 03:04 |
| ElectrumGuy | and the files it is executing are 777 for chmod. | 03:04 |
| ElectrumGuy | Using ubuntu 14.04 | 03:05 |
| psychoticwarrior | yes usually you cant get any packages at 14.04 i had a problem. are you trying to upgrade it? | 03:05 |
| ElectrumGuy | No, I am not. | 03:05 |
| ElectrumGuy | I am trying to run a simple sh script. | 03:06 |
| psychoticwarrior | ya i see | 03:06 |
| ElectrumGuy | sh /home/jorged/startup1.sh | 03:06 |
| ElectrumGuy | -rwxrwxrwx 1 jorged jorged 121 May 27 22:56 startup1.sh | 03:06 |
| ElectrumGuy | these are permissions for the startup1.sh script. | 03:06 |
| ElectrumGuy | when I run it manually ./startup1.sh it works. | 03:06 |
| ElectrumGuy | just not on startup as it should | 03:07 |
| psychoticwarrior | yea im not sure | 03:07 |
| psychoticwarrior | weird | 03:07 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: It may be a security error to have /etc/rc.local with those permissions. | 03:07 |
| ElectrumGuy | I can do 770 | 03:07 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: The default is 755 | 03:08 |
| ElectrumGuy | this is just to eliminate any potential permission issues. | 03:08 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: You may also have an encrypted home directory. | 03:08 |
| ElectrumGuy | I do not. | 03:08 |
| ElectrumGuy | this is a fresh ubuntu 14.04 install on a vm. | 03:08 |
| e-vent | nomodeset does not fix the issue | 03:08 |
| e-vent | still no network | 03:08 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: Is exit 0 the last line of /etc/rc.local? | 03:09 |
| ElectrumGuy | it is. | 03:09 |
| ElectrumGuy | ChaiTRex, https://pastebin.com/DF7A3L9P | 03:09 |
| zachflem | psychoticwarrior: did you have a chance to have a look at that pastbin of the output of fdisk -l? | 03:09 |
| ElectrumGuy | ChaiTRex, any ideas or alternatives? | 03:11 |
| e-vent | Guess I'll reinstall | 03:11 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: Sorry, no. | 03:12 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: One alternative is to run things @reboot in your crontab. | 03:13 |
| ElectrumGuy | I might try that... | 03:13 |
| ElectrumGuy | how would I run multiple sh files though? | 03:13 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: You can do: @reboot script1 && script2 && script3 && script4 && script5 | 03:15 |
| ElectrumGuy | cool | 03:15 |
| ChaiTRex | ElectrumGuy: You may want to set the PATH as well in the crontab. | 03:15 |
| ElectrumGuy | I am testing it now to see. | 03:16 |
| psychoticwarrior | e-vent any luck | 03:16 |
| e-vent | set nomodeset | 03:16 |
| e-vent | no screen | 03:16 |
| psychoticwarrior | sucks | 03:16 |
| e-vent | no network | 03:16 |
| e-vent | just reinstalling it | 03:16 |
| psychoticwarrior | what version of ubuntu?\ | 03:17 |
| S1GM4 | Hello! I have a rather ODD request. | 03:17 |
| e-vent | Current LTS | 03:17 |
| psychoticwarrior | 17.04? | 03:17 |
| ChaiTRex | psychoticwarrior: Even number followed by usually 04 is LTS. | 03:18 |
| e-vent | 16.04.2 LTS | 03:18 |
| S1GM4 | I'm wanting to grant an "internet friend" I've known for several years SSH access to my server on a basic level so he can add files onto my webserver (taking advantage of everything that has to offer, maybe even will set him up some database access as well eventually, etc.) | 03:18 |
| S1GM4 | is there a guide out there for "setting up a shell account for an emotionally unstable distant internet friend"? | 03:18 |
| e-vent | Yeah | 03:18 |
| psychoticwarrior | why not install 17.04? | 03:18 |
| e-vent | It's a website with the title | 03:18 |
| e-vent | NOPE | 03:18 |
| S1GM4 | XD hahaha | 03:18 |
| psychoticwarrior | 16.04 is fine | 03:19 |
| e-vent | I want LTS psychoticwarrior | 03:19 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 03:19 |
| psychoticwarrior | cool bro | 03:19 |
| e-vent | If one insists S1GM4 be careful with permissions | 03:19 |
| S1GM4 | I mean, I'm fairly certain I can lock down his shell account to a good degree, but I want to take some extra precautions | 03:19 |
| e-vent | and use FTP | 03:19 |
| ChaiTRex | S1GM4: You could use port forwarding with a virtual machine. | 03:19 |
| e-vent | Don't give em execute | 03:20 |
| e-vent | just give em FTP | 03:20 |
| e-vent | perfect for adding or removing files | 03:20 |
| S1GM4 | I can't kind of "lock" his shell into some /var/www/html/ directory with no execute, etc.? | 03:20 |
| S1GM4 | and have him sftp? | 03:20 |
| e-vent | you could home him into /var/www/dudestuff | 03:20 |
| e-vent | no problem | 03:20 |
| e-vent | set perms | 03:20 |
| ChaiTRex | You could probably set his shell to /bin/false | 03:21 |
| e-vent | but you really don't want to grant any execute perms | 03:21 |
| S1GM4 | Just chown it to his account? What other precautions should I take with the directory structure itself? | 03:21 |
| e-vent | or just only give him FTP access to that folder | 03:21 |
| S1GM4 | yeah, I can't see him making any arguments for execute permissions | 03:21 |
| e-vent | in which case you can just make an FTP account | 03:21 |
| ChaiTRex | You could make a web application that allows him to upload and download after entering a password. | 03:22 |
| S1GM4 | I'm actually going to ask him what would be wrong with just an ftp access and why he wants/needs shell | 03:22 |
| e-vent | He might be interested in something like rsync? | 03:22 |
| e-vent | psychoticwarrior, its a network gatewayu | 03:22 |
| e-vent | hence LTS | 03:22 |
| psychoticwarrior | right on | 03:23 |
| S1GM4 | hmm ChaiTRex: That is a good diea, right up my alley haha, and would remove a lot of problems right off the bat, unless he wants to start settup up complex directory structure, etc. | 03:24 |
| e-vent | S1GM4, owncloud? | 03:24 |
| S1GM4 | heh, he seems fine with just taking ftp access | 03:25 |
| S1GM4 | so that will take a lot of stress off the situation | 03:25 |
| S1GM4 | the guy seems nice and all, but I think he has a few mental problems | 03:25 |
| psychoticwarrior | who? | 03:25 |
| S1GM4 | (I met him on coughsyrup internets, so...) | 03:25 |
| S1GM4 | random internet friend needing some server space/access | 03:25 |
| e-vent | yeah I'd be wary of CP | 03:25 |
| e-vent | or other illegal shit | 03:26 |
| S1GM4 | Yeah, I'll monitor heavily what he puts on there for a while, but he doesn't strike me as *that* type | 03:26 |
| psychoticwarrior | who aer you talking about | 03:26 |
| S1GM4 | A random person I know mostly via IRC since about 2008 or so | 03:27 |
| psychoticwarrior | oh ok | 03:28 |
| psychoticwarrior | whats his deal | 03:28 |
| S1GM4 | I think he might do some drugs and stuff, but mostly he just makes a bunch of weird art and other stuff, semi-memes more focused on the community he is a part of (Dextroverse, which is an internet harm reduction community for people that drink too much Robitussin) | 03:29 |
| S1GM4 | So I mean, that is kind of a red flag, but luckily points away from piracy or cp or anything which i can't afford to have on my server :x | 03:29 |
| S1GM4 | I ran a web server wayyy back when I was 13 or so (I was born in 1987, so do the math), and I sold a lot of web space back then for really cheap, as I had a great connection and a reliable old Red Hat box. | 03:30 |
| psychoticwarrior | yea robotrip. been there done that. shit messes with your mind | 03:30 |
| S1GM4 | I stopped doing it after I seen what some of my clients were uploading :( lol | 03:30 |
| S1GM4 | not CP, but stuff almost as bad. I shut it down, refunded everybody their money and never ventured into running a web server again (except for personal use) | 03:30 |
| e-vent | Reinstalled, same issue | 03:31 |
| e-vent | blank screen after initial text scroll | 03:31 |
| e-vent | Router not picking up its IP address.... | 03:32 |
| e-vent | Odd | 03:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | restart it | 03:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | or | 03:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | reboot it | 03:32 |
| e-vent | I figure the network issue is some stupid windows sharing bullshit | 03:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | damn i hate those | 03:32 |
| e-vent | I have a laptop sharing internet via ethernet | 03:32 |
| e-vent | Looks like I need to move the server closer to the wall then | 03:33 |
| Bashing-om | e-vent: Boot up with nomodeset and install the proprietary driver if this is nvidia graphics . | 03:33 |
| S1GM4 | I'll brb in a bit | 03:35 |
| e-vent | Now I've replugged my stuff. | 03:41 |
| psychoticwarrior | do you get a wan address and get a private ip address | 03:42 |
| e-vent | nomodeset does not fix the issue | 03:45 |
| e-vent | Link is up | 03:45 |
| e-vent | but I do not know the IP | 03:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | check | 03:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | ifconfig | 03:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | iwconfig | 03:45 |
| e-vent | I | 03:45 |
| e-vent | DO | 03:45 |
| e-vent | NOT HAVE A SCREEN | 03:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | oh yea | 03:45 |
| e-vent | nomodeset doesnt work | 03:45 |
| psychoticwarrior | forget that part | 03:45 |
| e-vent | lel | 03:46 |
| psychoticwarrior | lo | 03:46 |
| psychoticwarrior | lol | 03:46 |
| Verissimus | anyone around | 03:46 |
| e-vent | Finally | 03:46 |
| psychoticwarrior | yup | 03:46 |
| e-vent | its negotiated a bloody IP | 03:46 |
| Bashing-om | e-vent: nomodeset is for the back screen, has nothing to do with net working . | 03:46 |
| e-vent | I know | 03:46 |
| e-vent | I suspect it has not installed the intel drivers | 03:47 |
| e-vent | hence nomodeset aint working | 03:47 |
| Bashing-om | e-vent: ssh'n into the box and on the remote is a black screen ? I be sorta confused . | 03:48 |
| e-vent | No | 03:48 |
| e-vent | Now SSH is fine | 03:48 |
| e-vent | it wasn't negotiating an IP earlier | 03:48 |
| e-vent | plus no screen | 03:48 |
| psychoticwarrior | so what did u do to fix it | 03:49 |
| e-vent | Now I have the IP and SSH I can deal with it | 03:49 |
| e-vent | I reinstalled the OS and moved port on the wall | 03:49 |
| psychoticwarrior | rigth on | 03:49 |
| psychoticwarrior | what version u using now | 03:49 |
| e-vent | You guys know what drivers I need for the GMA3600? | 03:49 |

| e-vent | just installed the Open Source intel drivers | 03:54 |
| psychoticwarrior | nice bro | 03:54 |
| e-vent | I have a feeling that drivers+nomodeset will work | 03:54 |
| e-vent | Begs the question why the installer didn't put the GPU drivers on? | 03:54 |
| e-vent | Negative then | 03:59 |
| e-vent | With drivers and nomodeset | 03:59 |
| Bashing-om | e-vent: GMA500 driver you may be in for a hard fight : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984236 ; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo . | 03:59 |
| e-vent | still screen off after initial bootup | 03:59 |
| e-vent | Thing is | 03:59 |
| e-vent | I had this installed on ubuntu before | 04:00 |
| e-vent | and got it working | 04:00 |
| e-vent | it was something in the kernel I think | 04:00 |
| thomedy | okay i am using the sox command...and i read the page on it... it said that if i am formatting a raw file to a compressed file i need to encode manually but im not seeing the proper options on how to get that | 04:02 |
| thomedy | can someone tell me how to encode raw to ogg specificlly | 04:02 |
| e-vent | I know it can work since it works on liveboot just fine | 04:03 |
| Verissimus | I have an issue which is a noob issue ... so please dont belittle me | 04:05 |
| Bashing-om | Very_slow: We were all new at one time . Ask your question :) | 04:06 |
| Verissimus | uhm I have a noob networking issue | 04:06 |
| psychoticwarrior | whats the issue | 04:06 |
| Verissimus | so | 04:06 |
| Verissimus | bear with me | 04:06 |
| Verissimus | I have 2 machines.. a linux box and a windows machine connected to the same router | 04:07 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok.. | 04:07 |
| Verissimus | I can ping the gateway(aka my router) but I cant ping windows machine(connected wirelessly) and linux box(connected with a wired connection) | 04:08 |
| Verissimus | When I ping linux box from windows, I get Destination host unreachable but packet loss is 0% | 04:08 |
| Verissimus | and when I ping windows machine(running win 10) from linux box, I get destination host unreachable and packet loss 100% | 04:09 |
| Verissimus | so I searched google(duh) | 04:09 |
| Verissimus | And I started with enabling ICMP outgoing and incoming messages on my windows firewall | 04:09 |
| Verissimus | then I checked ufw on ubuntu and it was inactive | 04:09 |
| Verissimus | then I fiddled with ufw trying to enable it to allow all incomg connections to my linux box but to no avail | 04:10 |
| psychoticwarrior | whats your ip addresses of both machines | 04:11 |
| Verissimus | Also, I can ping my phone from my windows machine .. phone is also connected wirelessly(duh) and so is the windows machines | 04:11 |
| Verissimus | So, I connected both linux box and windows machine through ethernet cable and now I am able to ping both of them | 04:11 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: Windows : 192.168.1.35 Ubuntu : 192.168.1.40 | 04:11 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: both use dhcp | 04:12 |
| psychoticwarrior | hmm | 04:12 |
| psychoticwarrior | for your linux check out iptables | 04:12 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: they are all empty(I installed the box yesterday) and all the policies are set to allow | 04:12 |
| psychoticwarrior | hmm\ | 04:13 |
| psychoticwarrior | weird | 04:13 |
| Verissimus | My point is why am I able to ping both machines successfully when they are both connected through wired conns and not through wireless | 04:13 |
| thomedy | has anyone ever used sox | 04:13 |
| thomedy | im trying to encode raw to ogg | 04:14 |
| Verissimus | I think its an issue with my router but then why can I ping my android phone from my pc and vice-versa | 04:14 |
| thomedy | i read the file it didn't say correct encoding im still aat aloss | 04:14 |
| e-vent | Still have no joy getting this 3600 to work | 04:15 |
| Verissimus | anyone | 04:16 |
| Verissimus | ? | 04:16 |
| IntelCore | hi P: | 04:17 |
| psychoticwarrior | try restarting your router | 04:18 |
| IntelCore | .ucf-dist is just a bit different than 50unattended-upgrades | 04:18 |
| s00x | hey, is it possible to create entry for SSD in GRUB ? | 04:18 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: I tried it already.. thats the first thing I did | 04:18 |
| S1GM4 | Arg, I went against the best advice and I've accidentally made an error playing with something I should not have | 04:19 |
| S1GM4 | setfacl -R -m user:USER:rwx /var/www/html/dir/DIR/ <--- Obviously the USER and two dir commands are replaced, I tried to prevent them from reading the contents or being able to cd other places in /var/ and it worked great! | 04:20 |
| S1GM4 | Except not they cannot even cd into their own home directory :( lol | 04:20 |
| IntelCore | I use gedit to read both versions of 50unattended-upgrades, and note that the one in ths soup uses .ucf-dist | 04:20 |
| S1GM4 | which would be the /var/www/html/dir/DIR/ (obviously not the real name, just an example) | 04:20 |
| S1GM4 | what can I do with setfacl to make sure they are able to cd into that directory? | 04:20 |
| S1GM4 | (the previous command does not seem to allow it, the login states: Could not chdir to home directory /var/www/html/DIR/dir/: Permission denied (changed the directory again, but just to give an idea of the structure) | 04:21 |
| psychoticwarrior | su - | 04:21 |
| psychoticwarrior | enter password | 04:21 |
| psychoticwarrior | cd /var/www/html | 04:21 |
| S1GM4 | Yes, my other user(s) can still access /var/www/html/ etc. | 04:22 |
| S1GM4 | (this user does not have sudo priviledges that I am trying to create) | 04:23 |
| Verissimus | how to disable iptables? | 04:23 |
| IntelCore | '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist' it has an invalid filename extension | 04:23 |
| S1GM4 | I used some commands like this: setfacl -R -m user:sam:--- /var/ AND setfacl -m user:sam:rx /var/ and then, setfacl -R -m user:sam:rwx /var/www/html/DIR/dir/ (for example) | 04:24 |
| S1GM4 | (trying to prevent them from using cd .. from their home directory, which is like /var/www/html/DIR/dir/ ) | 04:24 |
| S1GM4 | but instead I seem to have locked them out of their home directory with those commands :/ lol | 04:24 |
| psychoticwarrior | sudo service ufw stop | 04:25 |
| psychoticwarrior | ufw stop/waiting | 04:25 |
| IntelCore | yes permissions | 04:26 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: ufw is disabled | 04:26 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 04:26 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: and I rebooted after disabling it | 04:26 |
| IntelCore | an ftp service is better | 04:26 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: actually.. my router is stopiing communication between wired and wireless clients | 04:26 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: atleast thats what I think | 04:27 |
| IntelCore | oo | 04:27 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: if it was a firewall issue, why would I be able to ping both machines when they were connected through cables..... | 04:27 |
| S1GM4 | I should have known not to mess with setfacl XD lol. I never used it really before and knew I would make an error | 04:27 |
| psychoticwarrior | It could be that your firewall doesnt block icmp messagse | 04:28 |
| psychoticwarrior | messages | 04:28 |
| psychoticwarrior | could just block certain incoming connections | 04:28 |
| IntelCore | read on file permissions SIGM4 | 04:28 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: I know.. I added rules to windows firewall to allow incoming and outgoing ICMPv4 messages | 04:28 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 04:29 |
| S1GM4 | IntelCore: The user owns the directory they are trying to access and everything worked fine before I used those setfacl commands :( lol | 04:29 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: but I was able to successfully ping both machines from each other when they were connected through cables...... :( | 04:29 |
| psychoticwarrior | hmm | 04:30 |
| IntelCore | SIGM4 - directories and files are files | 04:30 |
| psychoticwarrior | it could be that you can send requests but you dont recieve a reply to the sender machine | 04:30 |
| IntelCore | devices are files | 04:30 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: indeed.. but why is it happening when connection is between a wired and a wireless machine and not when connection is between 2 wired machines? | 04:31 |
| psychoticwarrior | hmm im not sure | 04:31 |
| IntelCore | ping the route pls | 04:31 |
| psychoticwarrior | maybe run wireshark | 04:31 |
| psychoticwarrior | yea whats the route | 04:31 |
| Verissimus | psychoticwarrior: there is no route entry in the route print output in windows machine | 04:32 |
| Verissimus | I am able to ping the router successfully | 04:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | good | 04:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | whats the routers ip address | 04:32 |
| Verissimus | 192.168.1.20 | 04:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | ok | 04:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | ping 192.168.1.20 | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | keep it ubuntu related guys, this is more something for ##networking | 04:33 |
| IntelCore | lol | 04:33 |
| psychoticwarrior | itsf ine | 04:33 |
| Verissimus | I did it | 04:33 |
| psychoticwarrior | its fine | 04:33 |
| Verissimus | its working | 04:33 |
| psychoticwarrior | nice | 04:33 |
| Verissimus | hence me on the internet and here on irc :/ | 04:33 |
| psychoticwarrior | good job | 04:33 |
| IntelCore | debugging this left behind file '50unattended yada | 04:34 |
| IntelCore | again, it is not needed but it did this | 04:35 |
| IntelCore | nag nag | 04:36 |
| Verissimus | whats weird is the packet loss from Windows machine is 100% but reply is destination host unreachable | 04:37 |
| Verissimus | 0% | 04:37 |
| Verissimus | packet loss is 0% | 04:37 |
| Verissimus | and when I ping my windows(wireless) machine from linux, packet loss is 100% and reply is the same | 04:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Verissimus: try ##networking | 04:39 |
| Verissimus | lotuspsychje: I am there | 04:40 |
| Verissimus | lotuspsychje: thanks :) | 04:40 |

| kostkon | jerin[m], i think it only gets started while ubuntu is checking for updates or you are installing software etc. | 05:30 |
| jerin[m] | Any idea how I can disable it? kostkon | 05:31 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox | 05:33 |
| kostkon | jerin[m], remove any related packages? | 05:33 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], http://openbox.org/wiki/Main_Page | 05:33 |
| psychoticwarrior | apt-get remove openbox | 05:34 |
| jerin[m] | psychoticwarrior: I want open box, and the unity whatever to be kept | 05:37 |
| jerin[m] | Coz someone else prefers that. | 05:37 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], Read the two pages I posted for you. All your questions about Openbox can be answered there. | 05:37 |
| jerin[m] | YankDownUnder: I'm sorry, I've been to both pages. Couldn't find this under any troubleshooting. | 05:40 |
| jerin[m] | Let me rephrase, what package/service manages the desktop on ubuntu | 05:40 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], there are several references to "background" - and to using obconf. Having used Blackbox, Openbox and Fluxbox - I personally know it's not rocket science - it IS, however, a matter of reading and understanding exactly how the window manager works. All three were made to be deadly simple. | 05:43 |
| psychoticwarrior | fluxbox is nice | 05:43 |
| jerin[m] | YankDownUnder: sir, I know how to change the background. I'm looking for this service or program which starts after a while and overrides whatever I have in place. | 05:47 |
| dman777 | systemctl is awefull compared to upstart. it's way to complicated | 05:47 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], Whatever is in your ~/.config/autostart | 05:48 |
| jerin[m] | There's nothing there? Where's the system default located? | 05:50 |
| jerin[m] | YankDownUnder: | 05:50 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], /etc/xdg/autostart | 05:51 |
| jerin[m] | YankDownUnder: Thanks. I see a few unity entries. I'll try to take it from here. | 05:56 |
| YankDownUnder | jerin[m], Using "top" or "htop" - you should be able to narrow down the offending program - kill it - and disable it from that point onwards... | 05:57 |

| truthr | is ubuntu done spying on it's users? | 06:36 |
| aeon-ltd | totally | 06:37 |
| YankDownUnder | Any "linux" version can be locked down to disallow any information sharing... | 06:37 |
| truthr | awesome | 06:37 |
| aeon-ltd | truthr: wait you talking about the amazon thing? | 06:37 |
| truthr | aeon-ltd yes | 06:38 |
| aeon-ltd | then i don't know, but like YankDownUnder said you can lock down anything. linux provides incredible freedom when it comes to what software you want running on your pc | 06:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, so, got a few interesting issues, I've been trying to fix them for about a day now, and I'm ready to just ask for help. | 06:46 |
| laughingtiger | hey ubuntu users can I ask a question, can you remove or purge bluetooth without causing damage to the whole system------ubuntu-desktop or something like that? | 06:47 |
| YankDownUnder | laughingtiger, Yes. It can be safely disabled. | 06:47 |
| laughingtiger | I mean remove | 06:47 |
| laughingtiger | not just disable | 06:47 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, One question at a time, answers are free. Correct answers are $10 AUD. | 06:47 |
| YankDownUnder | laughingtiger, Either. Your choice. | 06:48 |
| truthr | aeon-ltd, the people that need protection the most are the ones that don't know how to lock anything down | 06:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | So, after installing Cinnamon, I've found I can't change my color theme or icon theme, though I can change window decorations, panels, and cursors. Also, I can't get the graphics drivers to work. | 06:48 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, Graphics driver is the priority. All the "eye candy" comes after, hmm... | 06:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | And by the way, PM me your paypal, if you can help me get a GPU that's only supported on GPU drivers released after the freeze for 17.04, I will GLADLY paypal you that | 06:49 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, :) | 06:49 |
| laughingtiger | so just apt-get remove and it will only remove bluetooth? I havn't use ubuntu for years. last time I remembered if I do this ubuntu-desktop and whole bunch of other things will volunterily die with it. | 06:49 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm on a machine with an nvidia Quadro M2200, which is only supported by Nvidia 378 or later. I can install that driver using an experimental PPA | 06:50 |
| YankDownUnder | laughingtiger, Preferably use "synaptic" to remove/add stuff - IN A SANE FASHION. | 06:50 |
| laughingtiger | voluntarily | 06:50 |
| laughingtiger | that was one big reason I chose not to use ubuntu anymore | 06:50 |
| YankDownUnder | laughingtiger, Hence I suggest DISABLE instead of "completely remove" - but your prefs, your choice. | 06:50 |
| laughingtiger | don't know if things has been changed or not so come to ask | 06:50 |
| fishbowlkraken | but when installing Steam, it installs Nouveau, which then takes priority, and then trying to remove nouveau tries to remove like, literally everything | 06:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | despite it not being needed before | 06:51 |
| laughingtiger | all right thank you YankDownUnder | 06:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | Oh, also, if 378 *is* enabled, that removes my ability to adjust brightness. If I use the later one, 381, it allows brightness control for some reason. | 06:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | Also, I can only really use KDE, Unity, or Cinnamon, as dear god, does everything else hate 4k screens. | 06:53 |
| IntelCore | wobbles | 06:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | and a non HiDPi supported DE on a 15" 4k screen gets nifty. | 06:54 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, Being that you're on 17.04 - which is NOT an LTS version, you're going to be chasing white whales... | 06:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | Dude, the LTS is even further behind | 06:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | I need graphics drivers released in February for this thing to even RUN, so staying closer to the bleeding edge is helpful. | 06:55 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, You'd mentioned an "experimental PPA" for the drivers...have you gone that route yet? | 06:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, I installed it | 06:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | it then is disabled by Nouveau, when that installs because Steam won't let me run without installing that. | 06:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | Then, for some reason, when you try to remove Nouveau, it tries to take literally all of GTK with it | 06:56 |
| IntelCore | why isny Xchat, or *itchX in repository to apt? | 06:56 |
| YankDownUnder | I'm not running 17.04 - I always stick to LTS - and, as well, I don't game - at all - so "Steam" and anything else "game" related - I bypass - so, what I honestly would suggest is waiting for a few hours - when the rest of the world wakes up...see if someone will be able to "bite at the bait" and help further...I'm like an anchor, bro...like an old anchor...not very helpful... | 06:57 |
| YankDownUnder | IntelCore, Outdated. | 06:57 |
| IntelCore | yes they r oldie.. what else can i use? | 06:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | Gah. CAD runs like a dog without drivers | 06:58 |
| YankDownUnder | IntelCore, HexChat...Konversation...irssi... | 06:58 |
| IntelCore | hmmm.. oh well | 06:59 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, (patting my iMac) - yersh...how well I know... :) | 06:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | This is what I get for trying to play games again. I figured, hey, I spent four grand on a laptop, I can take a break from design and run some of my old library right? I got three hours of FPS play two nights ago, and since then it's been nada. | 06:59 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, HL2 and BMS on my iMac...sometimes Bioshock...yes...linux is left for "server" stuff, security stuff, graphics, video editing, audio editing...yes... | 07:00 |
| fishbowlkraken | Not really, I have over 350 Linux games in my Steam library. | 07:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | For years I played quite a few games. | 07:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | It's only right now I'm having driver issues because my laptop was literally released two weeks ago | 07:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | and nothing supports the M2200 | 07:01 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: you dont need to uninstall nouveau, you just block it from loading. | 07:02 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'd love to know how, I've not had to deal with this in like, five years, which was the last time I bought a primary computer, heh | 07:02 |
| fishbowlkraken | I had similar issues then IIRC, but I've long since forgotten the tricks I did to get that up and running. | 07:03 |
| zachflem | hey folks, im struggling to get usb disks to automount (Server 16.04). Ideally I'd like them to mount to /media/<deviceLabel>. I've got usbmount installed, and it's created the usb* dirs in /media, but the drives won't mount. They do show up when I "fdisk -L" | 07:06 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm no longer as versed as I was with Linux hackery back when I was a huge Linux gaming fanatic, I've had two years or so of pretty much exclusively running CAD software | 07:06 |
| luis30 | truthr that amazon is off by defualt i believe | 07:07 |
| luis30 | IntelCore, hexchat is the replacement for xchat | 07:08 |
| fishbowlkraken | So, Jushur, you said I need to disable Nouveau. That's great, but I really don't know where I'd go to get the information on how. | 07:10 |
| IntelCore | do I already have alsa on 16.04 ? | 07:12 |
| truthr | luis30 they destroyed the trust so when something is turned off, something else is turned on | 07:13 |
| luis30 | its open source...im pretty sure if there is "something else on" somebotdy would have said something.. | 07:14 |
| luis30 | ubuntu is kind of big so.. | 07:14 |
| luis30 | it was some gay way to make money thats all | 07:14 |
| IntelCore | say bash to a win 10 user | 07:15 |
| truthr | well not all of ubuntu is open source is it? | 07:15 |
| truthr | free software i mean | 07:15 |
| IntelCore | Canonical | 07:15 |
| luis30 | yea i think all of ubuntu is open soure yes | 07:15 |
| luis30 | i mean if you want to add non opensource that is your choice | 07:16 |
| truthr | even the drivers? | 07:16 |
| truthr | oh, yeah | 07:16 |
| truthr | if it is all free software by default then that is awesome | 07:16 |
| luis30 | i did not pay anything for it | 07:16 |
| luis30 | lol | 07:16 |
| IntelCore | gnu has os | 07:16 |
| truthr | haha | 07:16 |
| truthr | free as in freedom man | 07:17 |
| luis30 | i dont know what you mean by free...yea its free | 07:17 |
| senaps | hi all, if i ssh to external server of mine, from the workstation provided by my company, can my network admin see my ssh password? or they only see that i have ssh to that server? | 07:17 |
| ducasse | truthr: most of it is open source, but not necessarily free software, but this is getting off topic | 07:17 |
| truthr | ok | 07:17 |
| fishbowlkraken | If y'all want a new topic, how about the topic of "my GPU is too new to work with the graphics drivers even in 17.04" | 07:17 |
| fishbowlkraken | cause I'd be allll about finding some answers on that topic. | 07:18 |
| IntelCore | i think ssh password is handshake | 07:18 |
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: if you don't get an answer, try again in 15-20 minutes. | 07:19 |
| fishbowlkraken | I first asked the question at 1:46, didn't get a conclusive answer | 07:20 |
| akik | fishbowlkraken: did you say that even if you have a working install with the nvidia driver, steam force installs nouveau? that could be one option to search for because it sounds too weird | 07:22 |
| fishbowlkraken | sooo, I'm on a machine with an nvidia Quadro M2200, which is only supported by Nvidia 378 or later. I can install that driver using a bleeding edge PPA, but when I install Steam, it would seem it installs some drivers that supercede the proprietary ones, and I can't use it | 07:22 |
| senaps | IntelCore: so it's safe? i mean they can surf all the traffic and everything we do(it's a network security company and i'm the newbie). so i was thinking if all these hacker's and network security nerd's in the role of our network admin, could see what password's im entering in my ssh's. unless they have a keyloger? | 07:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | yeah, when it installs Mesa, it installs Nouveau along with it. | 07:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | Steam requires Mesa for some reason | 07:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | Is there a way for me to get the bash history of command returns as well as commands given? Or a history of packages installed and uninstalled? I found .Bash_History, but that only lists the commands I've punched in, not the replies. | 07:24 |
| ducasse | senaps: 'ssh' stands for 'secure shell', it's encrypted. | 07:24 |
| IntelCore | senaps - basic info : https://support.suso.com/supki/SSH_Tutorial_for_Linux | 07:24 |
| fishbowlkraken | I have a weirder issue involving the fact that I can't change icon themes or colors in cinnamon, but let's save that for after I have the ability to use my GPU. | 07:25 |
| IntelCore | admin may require user/pass.. but doesn't has to.. and user can send clear text pass | 07:25 |
| akik | fishbowlkraken: have you tried apt pinning to never install nouveau? | 07:27 |
| IntelCore | senaps - on that url -- The second diagram shows how the data in an encrypted connection like SSH is encrypted on the network and so cannot be read by anyone who doesn't have the session-negotiated keys, which is just a fancy way of saying the data is scrambled. | 07:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | I tried removing Nouveau, and when I did | 07:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | well, here | 07:27 |
| akik | fishbowlkraken: apt pinning is something extra you need to configure. it tells your system to not update certain packages or never install certain packages | 07:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, but I can't even remove Nouveau to *start* that procedure, because, grabbing a pastebin | 07:29 |
| senaps | ducasse: yea i knew what it stands for. i was asking if it would encrypt my password when entered. because secure connection doesn't matter if it ain't secure in my own system while entering password. | 07:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | https://pastebin.com/qJNfE7Lj | 07:31 |
| senaps | thanks guy's. link helped alot. i got my answer | 07:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Here's what it says it'll remove when I try to remove the package that was not necessary to install any of these packages. | 07:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | I can of course force it, but then I can't automatically update anything. | 07:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Is there seriously no other way to enable nvidia drivers? | 07:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | As in, not found in the repos? | 07:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | Again, running an M2200, which wasn't supported until Nvidia-378, the last version of Nvidia available in the repos for any distro is 375. | 07:33 |
| fishbowlkraken | Unless I want to try and use the Aardvark repos or something I guess | 07:33 |
| IntelCore | Quadro drivers | 07:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, Quadro drivers. They're integrated into the normal Nvidia drivers on Linux systems. | 07:35 |
| === Guest68187 is now known as EriC^^ | ||
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: those still use the same kernel and x stack as zesty. | 07:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | O...kay? | 07:35 |
| IntelCore | R378 U2 (378.66) | 07:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm saying I need Nvidia-378 | 07:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | right, that one, specifically. | 07:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | I have a PPA with that driver | 07:36 |
| IntelCore | url coming | 07:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | I know the driver, I have it installed. | 07:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | BUT | 07:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | Nouveau is superceding it. | 07:36 |
| IntelCore | srry. i get dense | 07:37 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm using http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu to get the drivers | 07:37 |
| fishbowlkraken | but for some reason they get superceded by Mesa/Nouveau when Steam gets installed. | 07:37 |
| fishbowlkraken | So, someone else said I just need to disable Nouveau. How would I go about doing that? | 07:38 |
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: are you using the ubuntu repos for steam or their ppa? | 07:38 |
| IntelCore | Nouveau: Accelerated Open Source driver for nVidia cards | 07:38 |
| fishbowlkraken | Steam's no longer in the normal repos, I just installed it via their .deb. | 07:38 |
| IntelCore | Gallium3d drivers | 07:39 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, Nouveau is the open source driver. For some reason it's loading instead of the proprietary ones when I boot. | 07:39 |
| ducasse | try blacklisting the module, make a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with the contents 'blacklist nouveau' | 07:40 |
| IntelCore | using ubuntu, fishbowl? | 07:41 |
| fishbowlkraken | No, RHEL. | 07:42 |
| fishbowlkraken | Kidding | 07:42 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, Ubuntu, I'm in #Ubuntu, lol | 07:42 |
| IntelCore | the kernel is using nouveau | 07:42 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, and I'd like it to stop. | 07:42 |
| IntelCore | xf86 will use a different, and libdrm, and Mesa will use other neuvo | 07:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | ok, added to blacklist, bbs, wish me luck. | 07:43 |
| IntelCore | git a kernel for generic | 07:44 |
| === jstein_ is now known as jstein | ||
| fishbowlkraken | Noope. | 07:46 |
| IntelCore | if he didnt want the source driver nvidia.. or nouveau drivers what will he use? | 07:46 |
| fishbowlkraken | Wasn't it. | 07:46 |
| ducasse | is nouveau still loaded? | 07:46 |
| IntelCore | fall to R378 | 07:47 |
| IntelCore | professional drivers will no longer support select NVIDIA Quadro products. | 07:50 |
| IntelCore | Support for Quadro SDI products is discontinued | 07:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | Support for a graphics card released this year has been discontinued? | 07:52 |
| fishbowlkraken | Support for a graphics card in a laptop that was released this month is discontinued? | 07:52 |
| fishbowlkraken | You'll forgive me for finding that hard to believe. | 07:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | This is my card, to clarify. https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-M2200-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.210908.0.html | 07:55 |
| IntelCore | (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 07:55 |
| ducasse | is nouveau still getting loaded? | 07:55 |
| IntelCore | 381.22 ?? | 07:55 |
| IntelCore | there is a 32bit also | 07:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | It would seem Nouveau is still being loaded, something's causing OGL applications to run at like, 6 FPS. I got one day of great performance, and then after I rebooted it messed up. | 07:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | I tried reinstalling, but the same thing happened | 07:57 |
| ducasse | what does 'lspci -k' show for the card? | 07:57 |
| IntelCore | http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us | 07:57 |
| fishbowlkraken | VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206GLM [Quadro M2200 Mobile] (rev a1) | 07:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | Subsystem: Lenovo Device 2251 | 07:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | Kernel driver in use: nvidia | 07:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_381, nvidia_381_drm | 07:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | I think the reason it's messing up is the Nouveau thing, but I could be wrong. | 07:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've tried both 378 and 381 | 07:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | which are the only two in the ppa | 07:59 |
| ducasse | so the binary driver is handling it now, i doubt it is getting unloaded | 07:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | I dunno what's causing this failing then. | 08:00 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm getting lag on desktop animations, OGL applications, and other basic tasks | 08:00 |
| fishbowlkraken | I get that the M2200 isn't a Titan or anything, but I should at LEAST be able to see an improvement over the machine from 2013 it's replacing | 08:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | instead, my Chromebook is outperforming this thing | 08:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | I thought it might be some sort of Primus thing, but I've checked, and the Intel integrated graphics are disabled at the hardware level like I specified. | 08:02 |
| fishbowlkraken | I killed Intel Integrated graphics in BIOS, which is a nifty feature in thinkpads | 08:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | sec, gotta run to the bathroom | 08:03 |
| IntelCore | all u can do is use the recent driver. if it needs special treatment or not. the kernel 16.04 kernel? | 08:04 |
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: seems you're not alone - https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1010612/sluggish-performance-no-reclocking-ubuntu-17-04-kernel-4-12rc2-nvidia-quadro-m2200-driver-381-22-/ | 08:04 |
| IntelCore | remove the drivers - reboot.. let ubuntu pick up the new obe | 08:05 |
| IntelCore | one | 08:05 |
| IntelCore | yes right.. no clocking | 08:05 |
| IntelCore | 64x is like 375 driver | 08:06 |
| IntelCore | i had a few kernel on ubuntu trusty | 08:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | ah, better. | 08:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | Anyway | 08:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | 375 doesn't support the M2200. | 08:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | The kernel's 17.04 | 08:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | 17.04's kernel | 08:11 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, so what's weird though | 08:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | is that I was able to use this. | 08:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | I had fantastic performance for abouuut three hours two nights ago, playing Zigurrat on this thing | 08:13 |
| ducasse | with which driver? | 08:13 |
| fishbowlkraken | 381 | 08:13 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm gonna try downgrading to 378 anyway though | 08:13 |
| IntelCore | uname -r | 08:13 |
| IntelCore | ok so roll back kernel? | 08:14 |
| fishbowlkraken | the configuration that worked is lost to time, as I reinstalled after that | 08:14 |
| IntelCore | the first had the right driver/kernel set | 08:14 |
| fishbowlkraken | It broke, and I thought reinstalling may fix it. | 08:14 |
| ducasse | from what i'm reading, looks like you want 381... | 08:15 |
| fishbowlkraken | Alright, but 378 still supports the M2200 | 08:15 |
| IntelCore | btw, this happened to me with ati, compiz | 08:16 |
| IntelCore | fglrx fried | 08:16 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, gonna try rebooting with 378, see you on the other side. If it doesn't work, movin back to 381 | 08:17 |
| jushur | think it could be so his mesa reverted to its default. thus not using the nvidia card for opengl. and instead run in software mode | 08:19 |
| IntelCore | mebe so | 08:19 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay nah | 08:22 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, back on 381 | 08:22 |
| fishbowlkraken | not only did 378 not fix it, but for some reason 378 supports the card, but does not allow it to change the brightness of the panel. | 08:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | Gotta love the SSD giving me the ability to reboot that fast though, lol | 08:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | So, yeah, I'm getting utterly useless performance here. | 08:24 |
| ducasse | can you pastebin output of 'glxinfo'? | 08:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | Blah. Pastebin says it's under heavy load | 08:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | any other paste sites I can use? | 08:27 |
| ducasse | 'glxinfo | nc termbin.com 9999' | 08:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | http://termbin.com/rz5z | 08:29 |
| fishbowlkraken | Thank ya | 08:29 |
| ducasse | so it's using the nvidia driver... | 08:30 |
| gulzar | fishbowlkraken: bpaste , dpaste | 08:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Weird. | 08:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Anyway, what's bpaste and/or dpaste? | 08:31 |
| gulzar | fishbowlkraken: https://bpaste.net/ | 08:32 |
| gulzar | try and know | 08:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | Ah ok | 08:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | well I have this termbin thing now, so that's all good | 08:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | Anyway, it's running like Nouveau, which is most certainly not a compliment, lol | 08:32 |
| gulzar | fishbowlkraken: yes, there are many term based ones | 08:33 |
| fishbowlkraken | yeah, only needed one, I'm good now, still looking to fix this whole "my CAD machine can hardly run glgears" thing | 08:33 |
| gulzar | fishbowlkraken: I never had any luck with nvidia :( | 08:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've had good luck with Nvidia on Linux for about ten years | 08:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | sorry, eight | 08:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | but my issue currently is kind of the punishment for running on the bleeding edge | 08:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | my laptop was released at the start of this month, and the GPU was only released in January | 08:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | as such, the first graphics driver to support it only came out in February | 08:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | and so it's got some growing pains, it'd seem | 08:37 |
| ducasse | maybe try keeping on eye on that thread i pasted a link to, it was only posted 24h ago | 08:39 |
| fishbowlkraken | I would, except after looking at the other dev forum posts on Nvidia where Linux is concerned | 08:39 |
| fishbowlkraken | they tend to reply with "Use windows lul" and close it | 08:39 |
| gulzar | archlinux plays with bleeding edge, or fedora, or suse tubleweed | 08:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, I'm not looking to run Arch on my CAD machine. | 08:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | I just want graphics acceleration so I can get back to making models. | 08:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | I distro hopped plenty in college, but I'm fine with just using Ubuntu, so long as I can, you know, use my computer. | 08:41 |
| IntelCore | cad.. design is large and some are slow. | 08:41 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, that is why I have a laptop with 64GB of RAM. | 08:42 |
| IntelCore | some cad acts like rendering | 08:42 |
| fishbowlkraken | Right, which is why I bought a laptop with 64GB of RAM. | 08:42 |
| ducasse | my best suggestion right now is to try again either later today or preferably tomorrow. weekends are really quiet here, especially sundays. | 08:42 |
| fishbowlkraken | Aaaagh | 08:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sorry, just, like, I'm currently using a Chromebook to do most of my model making | 08:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | luckily I use OnShape, which is WebGL based | 08:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | but it's not exactly a speed demon | 08:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | and it's outperforming the P51 thinkpad | 08:44 |
| fishbowlkraken | kiiinda frustrating | 08:44 |
| freakyy | hi all. is there any good new site for ubuntu other than omgubuntu.co.uk? :) | 08:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | maybe /r/ubuntu? | 08:48 |
| IntelCore | freakyy - do you read mail? | 08:48 |
| gulzar | fishbowlkraken: there is webup 8 | 08:49 |
| fishbowlkraken | webupd8 you mean? | 08:49 |
| fishbowlkraken | Oh yeah, those guys pop up on my suggested stories from time to time | 08:50 |
| ducasse | freakyy: try asking in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:50 |
| freakyy | hm ok thanks | 08:50 |
| fishbowlkraken | Is there a drivers specific # for Linux users? | 08:50 |
| fishbowlkraken | Actually, nevermind | 08:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | every time I've gone on tech support chats for general Linux users and say I use Ubuntu, it just becomes a chorus of "UBUNTU IS A SWAHILI WORD FOR CAN'T CONFIGURE DEBIAN HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA" | 08:52 |
| fishbowlkraken | followed by "Install Gentoo" until I leave | 08:52 |
| IntelCore | i was doing a security install of selinus | 08:53 |
| dax | fishbowlkraken: it's 2017, I think they mostly switched from Gentoo to Arch now | 08:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | The people who spam install Gentoo typically aren't running Gentoo | 08:54 |
| squig | is it ok, to talk about systemd files here? I am trying to create a service on my system | 08:54 |
| squig | but I dont know where the file should go on my system | 08:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | they're running Windows 10 and just feel like being turds | 08:54 |
| squig | I thought it should be /etc/systemd/system | 08:54 |
| ducasse | squig: i assume you're running ubuntu? | 08:55 |
| squig | yes | 08:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | Then yup, totally relevant for here | 08:55 |
| ducasse | squig: then yes, you can ask here :) just a normal service unit? | 08:55 |
| squig | yes, I want to start a deamon process | 08:56 |
| ducasse | and the problem is? | 08:56 |
| squig | its an external package that does not come with one | 08:56 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: i have gentoo/funtoo/ubuntu/fedora/kali/alpine linux installs on my systems. and i manage quite a few laptop installs for other ppl. what you use is not important. knowing your system is. | 08:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay? | 08:56 |
| squig | I created a mything.service file and droped in in /etc/systemd/system, but I cant seem to see it with systemctl | 08:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | I was just saying I've noticed people in general Linux chats tend to be snobbish to Ubuntu users | 08:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | or at least one or two people are to the point that I don't want to hang around | 08:57 |
| ducasse | squig: 'systemctl enable mything.service' doesn't work? | 08:57 |
| gulzar | squig: /etc/systemd/system/ . start it with systemctl start <service> | 08:58 |
| gulzar | as root | 08:58 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: what im trying to point out, is the fact you seem to not. at all. as you been uninstalling packets/driver instead of disabling them. this is why said what i said. so you need to adjust that. | 08:58 |
| squig | ha that works, I thought systemctl -l would show it before I did either of those things | 08:59 |
| ducasse | no, you need to enable it first. | 08:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, I don't know this system, as I got it on Thursday. | 08:59 |
| squig | so readying through the docs, I see what at other times you should try to edit systemd files you should put overrides in | 08:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sorry, I'm not a master of all things this laptop, or on graphics cards that didn't exist until January. | 08:59 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sorry, but the way you said that came off as just SUPER douchey. | 09:00 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: i know, tho its not ment to be. i say what i think just. | 09:00 |
| fishbowlkraken | I seem to not understand my system at all because I've been using it for a grand total of six hours. | 09:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008, but using this brand now graphics card has been throwing me for a loop, as it's been a long, long time since I've had to mess with anything bleeding edge on graphics drivers | 09:02 |
| fishbowlkraken | the last workstation laptop I bought (not including a Compute Stick for my living room and a Chromebook I picked up last year) was in 2013 | 09:02 |
| squig | so whats up fishbowlkraken | 09:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've had open drivers supercede proprietary ones before, it was actually a pretty common issue when installing proprietary drivers manually for a while | 09:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've got the GPU on my laptop stuck in low power mode, it turns out | 09:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | I thought it was trying to run nouveau instead of proprietary drivers, as the performance is consistent with that | 09:04 |
| squig | what card is it? | 09:04 |
| fishbowlkraken | Quadro M2200 Mobile | 09:04 |
| fishbowlkraken | First supported in Nvidia graphics 378, and only properly by 381 | 09:04 |
| fishbowlkraken | because on 378 I lose the ability to adjust brightness for some reason | 09:05 |
| ducasse | have you tried a later kernel? | 09:05 |
| fishbowlkraken | If I set it to allow backports, will that add a later kernel for me to choose from? | 09:06 |
| ducasse | no. | 09:07 |
| ducasse | !mainline | 09:07 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 09:07 |
| squig | what version did you install, laptops are harder than workstations as you know | 09:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sorry, meant proposed | 09:07 |
| ducasse | note that those are not intended for regular use. | 09:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | My previous workstation was also a laptop, the W530. | 09:08 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: im not sure if this will work for you. https://realnc.blogspot.se/2016/01/guide-forcing-low-power-mode-with.html | 09:08 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: tho i think it can be good as a baseline for what can be done. | 09:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | No, I don't want it to keep forcing low power mode, I want it to stop. | 09:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | It won't come OUT of low power mode | 09:09 |
| squig | you get the nvidia control panel? | 09:09 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: how about you actually read the full artickle before you trow it under the buss? | 09:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yup, I can set it to use adaptive or prefer maximum performance | 09:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm saying that setting speeds manually doesn't work. | 09:10 |
| jushur | it should be set to preffer max perf. and the intel igp should be turned of in bios | 09:10 |
| squig | prefer maximum doesnt work? | 09:10 |
| squig | how are you testing? cuda or gl? | 09:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | http://i.imgur.com/BtSKmtf.png | 09:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | GL | 09:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | and IGP is shut off in BIOS | 09:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm not using the card for processing, so testing it in CUDA isn't something I'm looking to do | 09:12 |
| fishbowlkraken | I use this for CAD | 09:13 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, gonna upgrade this to 4.10.0-22 | 09:14 |
| fishbowlkraken | gonna see if this lets me adjust the clock speeds. | 09:14 |
| squig | nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=2 ? | 09:14 |
| squig | I dont think it will change to maximum performance until its needed | 09:15 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'll test it again, sec | 09:15 |
| squig | maybe open that with gears running | 09:15 |
| zachflem | any usbmount gurus around here? | 09:15 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: i bet its because there is no config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ on ubuntu. as it does not have that dir by default | 09:16 |
| squig | zachflem, I just spend days turning it off :D | 09:16 |
| fishbowlkraken | Why, exactly, does lacking a xorg.conf.d mean Nvidia can't address its clockspeed? | 09:16 |
| zachflem | squig: im trying to get usb drives to automount, did you find another way? or did you ditch it for another reason? | 09:17 |
| fishbowlkraken | And why is this a problem ONLY with this GPU? | 09:17 |
| jushur | and the software dont account for that. bad coding from nvidia. basicly means it wont trigger as it should | 09:17 |
| squig | zachflem, needed to ban them for "security reasons" | 09:17 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: it happens, that there is bugs in software. | 09:17 |
| squig | fishbowlkraken, aah that attribute changes the perferred mode options | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | http://i.imgur.com/ar9rbsZ.jpg | 09:18 |
| zachflem | squig: rodger. | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | Here's it with a game open, running at about 3FPS | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | still at minimum. | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | Anyway, updated kernel, rebooting. | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | Let's see if this works. | 09:18 |
| squig | zachflem, are you trying to mount or unmount? | 09:18 |
| fishbowlkraken | Nope. | 09:20 |
| fishbowlkraken | but it turned off my wallpaper, so that's neat | 09:20 |
| squig | fishbowlkraken, so reading more with the 1, 2 settings greyed out | 09:20 |
| squig | they are unavailable | 09:21 |
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: was that a kernel from proposed? | 09:21 |
| fishbowlkraken | That's not what the greying out in that panel means. | 09:21 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah | 09:21 |
| fishbowlkraken | Nvidia's config highlights whatever the current clockspeed is | 09:21 |
| fishbowlkraken | and then greys out the other ones. | 09:21 |
| fishbowlkraken | I've got two other machines running Nvidia cards right now | 09:22 |
| squig | i have all 4 non greyed out | 09:22 |
| ducasse | the proposed repo is primarily intended for automated testing, not at all intended for regular use. | 09:22 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, I'm aware, trying to see if changing the kernel helped. | 09:22 |
| fishbowlkraken | Didn't. | 09:22 |
| squig | https://snag.gy/h1v8Fd.jpg | 09:22 |
| ducasse | when i asked if you had tried a newer kernel, i meant something like a mainline one. | 09:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | Ah, okay. It's looked the other way on my systems, before | 09:23 |
| fishbowlkraken | But okay, if it's greyed out, do you have some revelation on what it means? Or is it just mysterious? | 09:24 |
| fishbowlkraken | Because this thing isn't even going to the top of the range it says it's capable of. | 09:24 |
| squig | what cad program are you running? | 09:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | And yes, Ducasse, I changed from the normal kernel to a proposed one, just to see if maybe that would change anything. It did not, except for some reason my wallpaper's gone now. | 09:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | I use OnShape. | 09:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | I don't have a super high poly model to just test this with, so I've just been starting a fairly graphically heavy game to test the GPU | 09:25 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: the nvidia settings tool needs a config file to write to. where does it do that on your system (default is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory wich dont exisist in ubuntu) | 09:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | Jushur: So is this a documented problem for LITERALLY ALL Ubuntu users with Nvidia cards? | 09:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | I feel like this'd be fixed quickly if so. | 09:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | Since this specific problem is documented ONLY to be happening on the M2200 currently, I'm thinking that may not be the solution. | 09:26 |
| squig | internet says just write out this file and then you have a place, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.con | 09:27 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: no, just for ppl who have hardware/driver that dont do what they should. and nvidia has a config that expects the standard dir to be there | 09:27 |
| squig | missed a letter /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf -< missed a letter | 09:27 |
| ducasse | jushur: it would be saved in /etc/X11, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is intended for config snippets | 09:27 |
| jushur | ducasse: exactly | 09:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | Actually, according to "internet:" https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1010612/sluggish-performance-no-reclocking-ubuntu-17-04-kernel-4-12rc2-nvidia-quadro-m2200-driver-381-22-/ | 09:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | this is a documented problem. | 09:28 |
| jushur | its a major error in ubuntu actually. you dont remove a directory that is standard.. | 09:28 |
| squig | file a bug report :D | 09:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | I just cited a bug report. | 09:28 |
| squig | not with ubuntu :D | 09:29 |
| fishbowlkraken | Ah, yeah, Ubuntu has the source code to Nvidia's drivers, forgot. | 09:29 |
| fishbowlkraken | I figure if you're having an issue with Nvidia's drivers, the ones they don't release the source code to, you'd tell Nvidia. | 09:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | Also, the drivers that run this card aren't even in the repos | 09:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm running from an extra PPA to get support for it | 09:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | So not much filing an Ubuntu bug report would do | 09:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | other than them saying "welp not our problem" | 09:31 |
| jushur | just create the dir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 09:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Alright. | 09:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | So now I reboot? | 09:32 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: no | 09:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, I created the directory, so it's apparently saving to it | 09:32 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: do you have a .conf file in /etc/X11 directory somewhere? | 09:32 |
| jushur | did nvidia settings save a file in there? | 09:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | No, it saves it in modprobe.d | 09:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | Or at least that's the settings file I know of. | 09:34 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: the block for nouveau yes | 09:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | There's no xorg.conf, there is xorg.conf.d, like you told me to create | 09:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | Ubuntu hasn't used a xorg.conf in years though | 09:36 |
| jushur | u have ~/.nvidia-settings-rc | 09:38 |
| jushur | right? | 09:39 |
| zachflem | squig: sorry for the delay, trying to auto mount usb drives, ideally unmount, but not as important | 09:39 |
| fishbowlkraken | https://pastebin.com/uw8eEqg6 | 09:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | Here's its contents. | 09:42 |
| ducasse | zachflem: you want to auto-unmount usb drives? as in, before you remove them? | 09:42 |
| zachflem | ducasse, i just read that again, and something tells me its not going to work =P | 09:43 |
| ducasse | zachflem: exactly :) | 09:43 |
| zachflem | ducasse, if i could mount and share automatically though, that'd be super handy | 09:44 |
| ducasse | zachflem: what's your setup? normally the de has these things built-in. | 09:44 |
| squig | zachflem, and share? | 09:44 |
| squig | yes, I just had to go and pull out all the auto, which is why I know a little about this. | 09:45 |
| zachflem | squig: the sharing is a stop gap to accessing the media files on the drives until I can get the dlna server working. the wife MUST WATCH HER SHOWS! | 09:45 |
| squig | zachflem, so exactly what are you trying to achieve? it might be easier if we knew that. You want to plug a usb disk and have it automatically appear? | 09:47 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yikes. Getting entertainment up and running for the misses is more important than my lil drivers issue, lol, so I'mma head to bed. Hope you guys can sort that out! | 09:47 |
| zachflem | squig: yeah, but I'm running headless | 09:47 |
| ducasse | fishbowlkraken: with that attitude, you might as well. | 09:48 |
| zachflem | and the server image doesnt include the automounting of usb drives stuff | 09:48 |
| zachflem | if i could get it to automount to /media/<driveLabel> i'd consider that a win | 09:48 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: you need a .conf file. with "Device" section and following option. Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x0;" | 09:49 |
| jushur | fishbowlkraken: https://sswam.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/linux-low-power-low-heat-for-summer/ | 09:50 |
| squig | zachflem, is that the server that will have the dlna system? that might be easier to set up :D | 09:50 |
| ducasse | zachflem: look at udisks2 | 09:50 |
| jushur | zachflem: udiskctl | 09:50 |
| ducasse | zachflem: but something like minidlna takes minutes to get running | 09:50 |
| zachflem | squig: yeah it is (an old laptop) | 09:50 |
| ren0v0 | Hi, I'm wanting to use MinOZW, but i can't find what package its in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/en/man1/MinOZW.1.html | 09:51 |
| ren0v0 | I'm running 16.04 | 09:51 |
| squig | zachflem, install plex, be happy. | 09:51 |
| zachflem | ducasse: i've been having trouble getting minidlna to scan the drives | 09:51 |
| ducasse | ren0v0: openzwave | 09:51 |
| zachflem | figure it something to do with the way the drives mount | 09:52 |
| ren0v0 | ducasse, sudo aptitude search zwave > i python-openzwave - openzwave | 09:52 |
| ducasse | ren0v0: that package does not exist in xenial, the man page above is from zesty | 09:53 |
| ren0v0 | so no minozw for 16.04 | 09:54 |
| ren0v0 | meh | 09:54 |

| tmin | Hello | 10:02 |
| tmin | I have kde neon (ununtu based) installed on my system. Most of the times when I connect my earphones the system works fine but when it wakes up from sleep with the jack plugged in, sound doesn't come out | 10:04 |
| tmin | after sometime the system cuts power | 10:04 |
| ducasse | tmin: we don't support neon, try #kdeneon | 10:05 |
| tmin | ducasse: kdeneon is ubuntu based | 10:06 |
| ducasse | !based on ubuntu | tmin | 10:06 |
| ubottu | tmin: 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) | 10:06 |
| tmin | ohh thanks. | 10:07 |
| zachflem | gents, udisks2 mounts the drive beautifully, i've just been through the man page and was wondering if there is a way to change where the drives get mounted. | 10:22 |
| zachflem | and I dont see anywhere where the drives are automounted... am I just missing something here or is that not what this does? | 10:23 |
| ducasse | zachflem: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks#Mount_to_.2Fmedia_.28udisks2.29 maybe? | 10:25 |
| zachflem | ducasse: thanks, just trying to work out the rule goes! | 10:28 |
| ducasse | zachflem: first line in the blue box | 10:30 |
| zachflem | scratch that, missed the header of the code block.... ID 10 T error | 10:30 |
| zachflem | ducasse, cheers just saw that! | 10:30 |
| zachflem | if the file doesn't exist, thats just because the rule hasn't been created, or is the location arch specific? | 10:33 |
| ducasse | just create the file with that path | 10:35 |
| ppf | so! | 10:36 |
| ppf | i'm still looking for an alternative to nvidia gamestream for ubuntu | 10:37 |

| ppf | maybe it's too early for tricky questions like this, so let me throw in another one: how can i dump nm's connection info on a terminal? | 10:43 |

| ppf | it is! thx | 10:47 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 11:03 |
| jerin[m] | YankDownUnder: so I figured nautilus is daemonizing somehow and showing me what's on the Desktop folder. While using openbox. Any idea how I can fix this | 11:17 |
| zachflem | any of you guys using udisks2, what are you using to automount? i've tried udiskie (from the Arch page linked earlier) and it was a 400mb dud | 11:19 |
| ppf | i'm using dbus/nautilus for user mounting | 11:23 |
| zachflem | nautilus as in the gui file manager? im running headless with no user logged in, so that's not going to work. | 11:30 |
| ppf | yeah. but nautilus justs talks to udisksd through dbus | 11:30 |

| blitzcreep | how can i "reopen" a terminalsession that is running in the background as root after system logged out? | 12:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | What is JDK and where are you geting it from | 12:45 |
| iresf | Jack_Sparrow__ : Java development Kit from oracle website | 12:45 |

| ppf | if you're worried about watching progress, you can tailf /var/log/apt/term.log | 13:21 |
| blitzcreep | its been over an hours | 13:21 |
| ppf | check term.log, and if it's stuck maybe just kill it | 13:22 |
| blitzcreep | uh | 13:23 |
| blitzcreep | thx | 13:23 |
| blitzcreep | i'll let it hang a while longer | 13:24 |
| blitzcreep | apearntly its konfiguring grub 0o | 13:24 |
| blitzcreep | exmlains why boot fked up last time that happend and i just rebooted =) | 13:24 |
| ppf | sure | 13:24 |
| ppf | just tailf it :) | 13:24 |
| blitzcreep | i nanoed it :P | 13:25 |
| blitzcreep | omg | 13:25 |
| blitzcreep | with tailf i get a popup | 13:25 |
| ppf | you shouldn't? | 13:25 |
| blitzcreep | it is waiting for a reply on wich media grup is locaded | 13:26 |
| blitzcreep | 0o | 13:26 |
| blitzcreep | hm | 13:26 |
| ppf | yeah that's the grub configuring asking you, not tailf | 13:26 |
| blitzcreep | yeah but ahrg | 13:26 |
| ppf | the f means follow btw, meaning it'll follow updates of the file | 13:26 |
| blitzcreep | yeah figgured it after reading the command right ;) | 13:27 |
| blitzcreep | but how can i respond to the grup installer? | 13:27 |
| ppf | doesn't the popup let you enter things? | 13:29 |
| blitzcreep | ok its not a popup its a terminal "responsebox"-thingy | 13:30 |
| blitzcreep | nope i cant interact, it just puts the keystrokes on the screen | 13:32 |
| ppf | okay, if you really need to you can reattach stdout/stdin to a process | 13:33 |
| blitzcreep | ok how do i do that? | 13:33 |
| ppf | create two things: mkfifo /tmp/apt_stdin; touch /tmp/apt_stdout | 13:33 |
| ppf | then attach to the running process with gdb -p $PID | 13:34 |
| blitzcreep | how to attach? | 13:35 |
| ppf | just like that | 13:35 |
| blitzcreep | ah "gdb -p $.." i see | 13:35 |
| blitzcreep | *b | 13:35 |
| ppf | and then reattach the files | 13:35 |
| ppf | call close(0) | 13:35 |
| ppf | call open("/tmp/apt_stdin", 0600) | 13:36 |
| ppf | call close(1) | 13:36 |
| ppf | call open("/tmp/apt_stdout", 0400) | 13:36 |
| ppf | that'll connect the standard streams to the files you created | 13:37 |
| augu | how are paths treated in apparmor e.g. /path vs /path/ vs /path/* vs /path/** ? | 13:37 |
| ppf | then you can tailf the stdout to watch output and with "cat > /tmp/apt_stdin" you can write to stdin | 13:38 |
| blitzcreep | after call close and call open it tells me there is no systemtable loaded | 13:38 |
| blitzcreep | use file command | 13:38 |
| ppf | blitzcreep: that shouldn't matter, i think | 13:39 |
| ppf | type continue to let the program carry on after you've manipulated the std fds | 13:40 |
| ppf | augu: check man 5 apparmor.d for the full spec | 13:41 |
| augu | thanks | 13:41 |
| blitzcreep | ppf thx ill try | 13:42 |
| ppf | augu: it's just standard globbing rules, though | 13:42 |
| ppf | * matches any number of anything except /, ** matches any number of anything including / | 13:43 |
| ppf | just like bash | 13:43 |
| augu | I never knew you could use those rules in bash, wow | 13:44 |
| augu | awesome | 13:44 |

| nyuszika7h | If I have updates set to automatic, will it prompt for root password? | 14:03 |
| nyuszika7h | Well not root password user's password | 14:04 |
| ppf | nyuszika7h: you're talking about unattended upgrades? no, it'll run in the background | 14:05 |
| ppf | "unattended" | 14:05 |
| nyuszika7h | I guess so, I set the software update to download and install updates automatically | 14:06 |
| nyuszika7h | Makes sense of course that it would do it without a password just wanted to make sure that's the case | 14:07 |
| nyuszika7h | Heh, locales are generated for every single English dialect | 14:09 |
| nyuszika7h | Plus Hungarian which is the system language | 14:09 |
| nyuszika7h | Why does the software updater show a blank debconf window when details are expanded sometimes? | 14:09 |
| nyuszika7h | Hmm it complains about possible missing firmware for i915, is that going to cause problems for just web browsing (including watching YouTube videos)? | 14:12 |
| nyuszika7h | (This is Lubuntu 16.04.2 LTS i386 on a relative's old P4) | 14:12 |
| blitzcreep | ppf i didnt get it running your way... but i killed the root process via command (not via htop what didnt work) | 14:13 |
| blitzcreep | then i had to sudo dpkg --configure... manually ...now the upgrade is running again... hopefully i dont get some initramfs error on boot again ;) | 14:15 |
| ppf | did you remember to put it in a multiplexer this time? ;) | 14:15 |
| ppf | nyuszika7h: it does that ... hasn't been a problem for me | 14:16 |
| blitzcreep | surely i forgot ... | 14:16 |
| blitzcreep | :P | 14:16 |
| blitzcreep | but it went trhough ... | 14:16 |
| blitzcreep | i think i keep the box running till tomorrow ...no reboot today, no trouble, and i can watch my movies tonight ;) | 14:16 |

| Koyaanisqatsi` | I set up a lot of people with ubuntu unity. Now where to move? gnome or ubuntu-mate? | 14:23 |
| Dreaman | i love unity | 14:23 |
| Dreaman | xubuntu | 14:24 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: another distro :d | 14:24 |
| nyuszika7h | MATE is better than GNOME 3 IMO | 14:24 |
| nyuszika7h | Or use XFCE | 14:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Koyaanisqatsi`, I left Ubuntu because of unity and I went to MintMate and love it. The Ubuntu Mate should be even better | 14:25 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | mint is still ubuntu, but worse imo | 14:25 |
| * sebsebseb doesn't need anything Ubuntu based :) | 14:25 | |
| Dreaman | http://imgur.com/a/qY1xl Koyaanisqatsi` i test some :) i am lame | 14:25 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | I will only leave users with ubuntu due to software repo choice | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | It was better than choking down Unity | 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | exactly Mint is like 95% Ubuntu | 14:26 |
| nyuszika7h | The option for what to do with security updates is greyed out in software update settings | 14:26 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | gnome 3 seems pretty similar to unity, although it feels faster | 14:26 |
| nyuszika7h | I previously set it to automatically download and install | 14:26 |
| nyuszika7h | Now it's greyed out and I can't choose anything | 14:26 |
| mrchairman | Suppose I'm using rsync, and I'm transferring files to a remote system. What if the ownership of the users are different? Like I'm "Paul" on my local machine, but I ssh to the remote computer as "Ringo"... When I transfer the files will Ringo own them? | 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: Unity usees GNOME n the background | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: Unith 7 uses GNOME in background with Compiz | 14:27 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | sebsebseb, well there you go | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: they did Unity insstead of going with the GNOME Shell interface | 14:27 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | I guess they ended it with the smartphone plans | 14:27 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | I never liked unity nor used it, but other people seemed to. | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | nyuszika7h: Ubuntu used to use GNOME 2, Mate is forked from that | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: its like they have gone back to 2010 or going back to 2010 in certain ways | 14:28 |
| nyuszika7h | sebsebseb: I know | 14:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | agreed | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | Koyaanisqatsi`: by using the upstream GNOME interface by default instead as of 17.10. since GNOME 2 is no longer made upstream for years | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow__: agreed to me ? | 14:28 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | well as you said, mate is the new gnome 2 | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | agreed it is like going back in time. Felt odd like going back to win 98 | 14:29 |
| * sebsebseb thinks its funny the various fan boys etc on omgubuntu who I have read in comments, like oh what to use now, Ubuntu dropped unity | 14:29 | |
| sebsebseb | uh other interfaces run in Ubuntu, and can keep Unity 7 for longer to | 14:29 |
| sebsebseb | plus there areo ther distros | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | The same guy that worked with mate on mint is working on ubuntu mate | 14:30 |
| ducasse | !discuss | 14:30 |
| ubottu | Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! | 14:30 |
| sebsebseb | and Unity 8 is getting forked | 14:30 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | mate is pretty solid. I use it myself on debian. It just doesn't do fancy things. | 14:30 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | and good thing about ubuntu is that 17.04 already has the brisk menu | 14:30 |
| iresf | On ubuntu 16.04 NetworkManager take %100 Cpu and i couldnt find a sulotion by googleing | 14:31 |
| DJones | sebsebseb: Koyaanisqatsi` Might be worth moving the discussion to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic as its not a specific support issue | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | ducasse, There has always been a certain amount of chat allowed here UNTIL a real ubuntu question pops up then everyone needs to shut it down and help | 14:31 |
| Koyaanisqatsi` | anyway carry on | 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | Jack_Sparrow__: no they would have been using GNOME 3 Shell interface for years by default, if they hadn't gone down the Unity route instead, that's what I meant. so its basIcally doing a u turn, and doing what would have done years ago instead, but with the recent version of GNOME Shell as of 2017 | 14:32 |
| ducasse | Jack_Sparrow__: two other people are asking actual support questions. | 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | but we are off topic | 14:32 |
| sebsebseb | its true | 14:32 |
| ducasse | mrchairman: yes, the files would be owned by the user you ssh as. | 14:33 |
| augu | what format should system tray (notification area) icons be? Mine keeps getting a black line below it like it's the wrong format. | 14:33 |
| ubone | paste /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop please | 14:35 |
| ducasse | ubone: if you've corrupted it, just reinstall the package. if you want the file for some other reason, use 'apt download' to get the package and extract it. | 14:38 |

| rud0lf | mrchairman: scp ./file.txt rud0lf@shell.com:dest_dir/ | 15:25 |
| mrchairman | I will use scp too then, | 15:25 |
| rud0lf | mrchairman: there's also sshfs you can install | 15:26 |
| rud0lf | it allows mounting remote directory as local one | 15:26 |
| rud0lf | similar to cd-rom or local share | 15:27 |

| oerheks | dev-ex-machina, let me guess, 32 bit windows + uefi on a 64 bit machine? | 17:05 |
| dev-ex-machina | nope, 64 bit | 17:05 |
| dev-ex-machina | Just a really crummy UEFI, combined with ubuntu not co-operating | 17:05 |
| dev-ex-machina | the only way i've gotten linux to boot before, is using windows cmd prompt to reconfigure the UEFI partition to load grub | 17:06 |
| sparky8251 | dev-ex-machina i had a similar problem with my HP laptop. the UEFI boot order was hard coded so i had to rename grubs EFI entry in the partition to the same as whatever the windows one was | 17:07 |
| dev-ex-machina | this is an acer | 17:07 |
| dev-ex-machina | I should have known not to buy an acer but I was on a tight budget | 17:07 |
| ioria | dev-ex-machina, are you using the mini.iso ? | 17:08 |
| dev-ex-machina | it's a $900 acer, with same specs as $1400 asus | 17:08 |
| dev-ex-machina | ioria, yes, but i've also tried normal installs | 17:08 |
| dev-ex-machina | I'm using minimal now so I can use expert mode | 17:08 |
| dev-ex-machina | try and fix it manually | 17:08 |
| ioria | dev-ex-machina, for mini.iso, i can say it does not support uefi | 17:08 |
| ioria | dev-ex-machina, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD#mini_system_in_UEFI_mode | 17:09 |
| dev-ex-machina | it does have an EFI folder with a grub uefi image.. you just have to relocate the EFI folder to the root of the usb | 17:09 |
| dev-ex-machina | I don't know why the included it but put it in the wrong place.... | 17:10 |
| ioria | ^ | 17:10 |
| ducasse | ptx0: a release upgrade upgrades *everything*, far from just the kernel. every new package and their dependencies, it's a long list. | 17:10 |
| dev-ex-machina | I think I'm going to have to install windows to use the cmd prompt then resize my partition after removing it | 17:11 |
| dev-ex-machina | It's kinda crummy that I have to do that | 17:11 |
| ioria | dev-ex-machina, have you seen the link i posted ? gives you an alternative | 17:11 |
| dev-ex-machina | looking now... I thought it was something I already saw but actually it's not | 17:12 |
| dev-ex-machina | the problem is I don't have a package manager to work with in this expert mode installers shell | 17:13 |
| donofrio | what is the process that will enable native nvidia drivers (getting old pages being flipped in front of me randomly every 5 min so I'm thinking builtin driver are not doing the best or something GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV530 GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 12.0.6 Direct Rendering: Yes | 17:15 |
| dev-ex-machina | I'm thinking of trying an newer firmware, but I always get panic attacks and anxiety when I'm flashing things that don't have brick recovery methods | 17:16 |
| dev-ex-machina | I've never actually bricked anything and I've done it hundreds of times to mine and other peoples computers, but I still worry because there is now way I can drop the money to get another laptop with the same specs, I'd have to get a really cheap one then I can't do my work because it involves compiling massive projects using bloated toolchains and I need 6 hours and 12+ gb of ram for the main project I'm on | 17:19 |
| dev-ex-machina | I need a staticaly linked apt for x86_64 | 17:21 |
| dev-ex-machina | to fix this problem using my current mini iso in expert mode | 17:21 |
| dev-ex-machina | screw it... I'm gonna switch to legacy bios mode,., UEFI doesn't offer enough benefits to be worth this trouble | 17:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | agreed | 17:21 |
| dev-ex-machina | I've tried 4 versions of ubuntu and lubuntu, and the minimal iso in every possible way I can | 17:22 |
| dev-ex-machina | Next time I buy a new computer I'm checking that the UEFI firmware is good, and full of config features and options... Mine has like, nothing except UEFI or Legacy mode, plus boot device order, plus.... save and reboot | 17:23 |
| dev-ex-machina | It's the worst bios/firmware i've ever used in terms of features, and it obviously isn't properly compliant with UEFI standards | 17:24 |
| dev-ex-machina | I should have borrowed $500 and bought the asus with the same specs | 17:24 |
| dev-ex-machina | asus is godly comapred to acer | 17:25 |
| dev-ex-machina | not that asus is that special, it's just that acer is horrible, and I knew it, but I bought what i could afford. The cheapest computer with dual-gpu for CUDA dev, and an i5 broadwell, The HDD started failing really fast, and died like 2 weeks after my warranty expired | 17:26 |
| dev-ex-machina | now I got an SSD and it's nice, but I wanted to spend that money on ram | 17:26 |
| dev-ex-machina | I have a usb with nightly lubuntu, and another with xenial LTS, and somewhere I have one with windows 10 incase I need to use the windows cmd prompt trick to do this... It's pretty sad if they only way a computer can boot anyting other than windows is if you have both OS and use windows to enable the other boot option | 17:28 |
| compdoc | UEFI or Legacy mode, plus boot device is all any of them have | 17:28 |
| dev-ex-machina | compdoc, no... I used to have money and get good hardware and it had lots of options every time, voltage and frequency controls, lots of different hardware interfaces you could switch between for different devices, built like higher end dekstop stuff, but that stuff costs 3-4x as much as I spent | 17:30 |
| ducasse | dev-ex-machina: you can't use efibootmgr from a live image? | 17:30 |
| compdoc | thats nothing to do with uefi | 17:30 |
| dev-ex-machina | ducasse, i can't get grub to be recognized, no matter how I install it | 17:31 |
| dev-ex-machina | I tried from a live usb already | 17:31 |
| dev-ex-machina | 2 different ones | 17:31 |
| dev-ex-machina | I been trying to do this for like 6 hours now, it shouldn't take 6 hours to install ubuntu | 17:31 |
| ducasse | dev-ex-machina: then what is it you do from windows that fixes things? | 17:32 |
| dev-ex-machina | Like, I'm not stupid, i'm good with computers, this hardware is just not compliant with the standards | 17:32 |
| dev-ex-machina | there's a command, I think it's called bcedit or something... I just copy/pasted it from a google search result and poof grub was there when I rebooted instead of not even giving me the option when I hit the key to give me a boot menu to choose from | 17:33 |
| ducasse | yes, the linux equivalent of that is efibootmgr. | 17:33 |
| dev-ex-machina | ducasse, I tried it | 17:33 |
| dev-ex-machina | I am using linux 20 years, I only had windows 10 resized down to a 20gb parition so I could install a compiler and do some windows dev experimenting because I haven't used windows in 20 years till I got this laptop | 17:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | whats your partition layout now | 17:35 |
| mordof | i'm dual booting windows 10 and ubuntu. everything has been fine for a while. windows did an update, forced a restart - and now grub is broken. it just drops me to grub rescue. windows install media won't run, and i'm lost as to how to fix my grub in a linux live boot | 17:36 |
| mordof | i've tried a grub-repair thing, which didn't help at all | 17:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Need to figure out what that Windows update did to your system | 17:37 |
| mordof | i need to be able to boot to it before it can resume the update. at the moment all of the windows stuff is locked | 17:38 |
| mordof | not sure | 17:38 |
| mordof | i don't know how to work with grub all that well is the main issue.. otherwise i'd probably have this resolved already | 17:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | mordof, No .. you would most likely not fix it with just grub | 17:40 |
| mordof | Jack_Sparrow__: what's your suspicion? | 17:40 |
| mordof | i just looked at gparted... looks like potentially the file system for my ubuntu install has been damaged | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | mordof, think you can install grub to the uefi boot partition iirc, with the live media | 17:41 |
| dev-ex-machina | I'm going to replace this UEFI... I'm going to hack together a bettter one using a system with the same hardware(the asus laptop i wanted was exact same hardware execpt for better HDD, better screen, more RAM, and the RAM was faster | 17:41 |
| dev-ex-machina | At this point I just want to buy another laptop, but a custom firmware would be good for my portfolio | 17:41 |
| mordof | Jack_Sparrow__: the partition it was on before is now listed as unallocated... :/ | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | windows won't reecognize ext4 | 17:43 |
| mordof | it wasn't the windows update that directly caused this... my grub boots by default into ubuntu. when i came back to my computer, it was in ubuntu, but then i told it to restart | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | recognize | 17:43 |
| mordof | and that's when i got the behavior of grub dropping into grub-rescue without being able to find the partition | 17:43 |
| dev-ex-machina | I really want a firmware that lets me overclock and underclock and adjsut everything, I can reverse engineer and know x86 asm and hardware programmiung better than anyone I've ever met... So if there is anyone who can make a perfect firmware without having the source but having a variety of similar firmwares, it's me | 17:44 |
| dev-ex-machina | not that I'm saying I can... but if anyone can, I can | 17:44 |
| dev-ex-machina | I've never done a bios/UEFI before | 17:45 |
| ioria | mordof, i'd say the best way is boot again the Livecd, paste sudo parted -l, mount your root and boot partitions and reinstall grub ? | 17:45 |
| mordof | ioria: the ubuntu partition is marked as unallocated, how would i do that? | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | dev-ex-machina, this not your personal blog , enough with the stream of what 'yer gonna do" | 17:46 |
| dev-ex-machina | ok sorry, i'm just raging right now | 17:46 |
| dev-ex-machina | i'll shut up and wait for my iso to download | 17:46 |
| === beaver_ is now known as beaver | ||
| ioria | mordof, can you paste sudo parted -l and sudo blkid ? | 17:47 |
| mordof | uhh.. hold on, let me hop on irc on that computer | 17:48 |
| mordof | i guess i don't need to do that.. one sec | 17:48 |
| ioria | mordof, choose 'try without install' and install hexchat or what you like | 17:49 |
| mordof | ioria: https://pastebin.com/NGt0pCcU | 17:50 |
| mordof | https://pastebin.com/nLbR0PNS | 17:50 |
| mordof | ioria: partition 4 on /dev/sda is where my ubuntu install is/was | 17:51 |
| ioria | mordof, i assume your ubuntu was on the extended /dev/sda4 ? | 17:51 |
| mordof | yeah | 17:51 |
| ioria | mordof, 17g of swap file ??? | 17:52 |
| mordof | lol | 17:52 |
| mordof | unnecessary, completely.. don't worry about it xD | 17:53 |
| ioria | mordof, i'am worried about no root partition ... | 17:53 |
| mordof | indeed | 17:53 |
| mordof | it used to be there -.- | 17:53 |
| mordof | the swap file is normal - that's what i made it as | 17:53 |
| ioria | mordof, a windows update usually does not remove partitions ... | 17:54 |
| mordof | agreed | 17:54 |
| mordof | i know that's what started the process, but i'm not sure if that's the exact cause | 17:55 |
| ioria | mordof, maybe testdisk can help you | 17:57 |
| * mordof gives it a try | 17:58 | |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | or hirens | 17:58 |
| mordof | i've only ever used hirens to blow out passwords on old windows machines when people asked me to do repairs | 18:00 |
| mordof | didn't know it could do much else, lo | 18:00 |
| mordof | ioria: https://pastebin.com/QzKXnBsy this is what i'm prompted with in testdisk after an analyze happens. i'm supposed to change the partition types to something that makes sense.. i'm not sure what makes sense here | 18:07 |
| IntelCore | Afternoon ! | 18:07 |
| IntelCore | partition types? | 18:08 |
| mordof | IntelCore: trying to recover an ubuntu partition that.. somehow got marked as 'unallocated' | 18:08 |
| mordof | using testdisk at the moment | 18:08 |
| IntelCore | hmm.. what missing? | 18:10 |
| oerheks | mordof, what mint version is this? | 18:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | mordof, run usb livemint and mount it does what ? | 18:10 |
| mordof | 18.1 | 18:10 |
| mordof | Jack_Sparrow__: invalid file system.. i think.. *tries it again* | 18:11 |
| mordof | Jack_Sparrow__: "/dev/sda4 is not a valid block device" | 18:11 |
| IntelCore | mount | 18:12 |
| mordof | ...? | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | what command did you give, exactly? | 18:12 |
| mordof | sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt | 18:13 |
| dev-ex-machina | is the 13.04 ubuntu repos still alive? | 18:13 |
| oerheks | no. | 18:14 |
| dev-ex-machina | There's something I need to do in 13.04 that I can't do in recent releases without a lot of work | 18:14 |
| SimonNL | Jack_Sparrow__: mixed up with channels ? | 18:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | SimonNL, Not really | 18:14 |
| SimonNL | :) | 18:15 |
| ducasse | !eolupgrade | dev-ex-machina try these | 18:15 |
| ubottu | dev-ex-machina try these: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 18:15 |
| IntelCore | http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/13.04/ | 18:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | mordof, sudo mount /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 | 18:15 |
| dev-ex-machina | yeah i don't need security updates... i need old stuff that won't conflict with new stuff, but I need the repos to get that stuff | 18:15 |
| dev-ex-machina | so i'm wondering if the servers still host those old packages | 18:15 |
| ducasse | dev-ex-machina: read the last link | 18:16 |
| mordof | Jack_Sparrow__: once i created the folder, same message. "mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device" | 18:16 |
| dev-ex-machina | ok thanks ducasse | 18:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | mordof, ok, I need food, someone will be along | 18:16 |
| OneM_Laptop | So. | 18:17 |
| dev-ex-machina | I tried putting the stuff I need into a 17.04 ubuntu, and it messed up the package managers sanity | 18:17 |
| OneM_Laptop | Anyone here familiar with APCUPSD? | 18:17 |
| * mordof tries the testdisk partition fix and reboots | 18:17 | |
| ioria | mordof, we need to know if testdisk has found your 'root', so mv the cursor on the forth item and press 'p' | 18:18 |
| mordof | ioria: it showed the files for the linux / when i did that | 18:18 |
| dev-ex-machina | like, I could no longer use apt, because the package was there, but broken, and had missing dependencies I had to compile myself and then the package manager didn't know they were there so it still flipped out and wouldn't let me fix the problems I caused | 18:19 |
| ioria | mordof, so it has found it ? | 18:19 |
| mordof | looks that way, yeah. i marked it as * for the boot partition | 18:19 |
| mordof | hoping i didn't mangle it further | 18:19 |
| mordof | lol | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | but it's not labelled as / , correct ? | 18:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | dev-ex-machina, Thats why we tell people to stay in our repos as we cant help you unscramble an egg | 18:20 |
| mordof | BluesKaj: no | 18:20 |
| ioria | mordof, so, IF it's all ok, WRITE | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | wonder if the mountpoint can be set as / without formatting, it caqn be done ubiquity manual partitioning, but never tried it by any other partitoner | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | can be done in ubiquity thatis | 18:24 |
| mordof | so i tried to set the linux /dev/sda4 to P for primary partition. booted back into live usb - gparted showed a single ext4, but didn't register it as /. tried it as a logical volume, rebooted, still not registered as / , but this time /dev/sda4 is extended with /dev/sda5 as the ext4... which i don't think that's how it was before | 18:25 |
| IntelCore | read mbr pls | 18:26 |
| IntelCore | hunt 4 parts | 18:26 |
| IntelCore | or, did you just find it? | 18:26 |
| mordof | ...? | 18:27 |
| ioria | mordof, paste again sudo parted -l | 18:27 |
| ducasse | mordof: if this is mint, you really should get support from their channel(s) | 18:27 |
| ioria | mint ? | 18:27 |
| mordof | i'm not sure exactly what you're asking me to do IntelCore | 18:27 |
| jordila | hi #ubuntu , i need to run a simple Bash command ... always, at boot . In Ubuntu 16, which is the recommended way to ? | 18:27 |
| ioria | mordof, are you on mint ? | 18:27 |
| mordof | yes | 18:27 |
| IntelCore | bash at boot? | 18:27 |
| jordila | yes ... just, " sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 1mW " (e.g) IntelCore | 18:28 |
| IntelCore | ou should use upstart. But for a user script these should be launched as session scripts by gnome! Have a look under System > Preferences > Startup Applications. | 18:28 |
| ducasse | jordila: does it have anything to do with x11? as in, does it need the gui to be active? | 18:29 |
| Mathisen | jordila, /etc/rc.local | 18:29 |
| jordila | umh... i see. i thing rc.local is the way to go ... | 18:29 |
| IntelCore | are u in gnome? bash | 18:29 |
| jordila | Still , is it working in (new) SystemD init system, Mathisen ? | 18:30 |
| jordila | ducasse, IntelCore , i just need system to run a linux command on every boot ... | 18:30 |
| mordof | ioria: https://pastebin.com/erGaZ055 i didn't think being on linux mint really had much impact on this issue. i thought ubuntu and mint are pretty much the same when dealing with partitions and grub and the like | 18:30 |
| IntelCore | scripts to be run on terminal login you can add them to the .bash_login file in your home directory. | 18:31 |
| Mathisen | jordila, should do yes | 18:31 |
| ioria | mordof, channel policy ask the ops | 18:31 |
| jordila | nice to know IntelCore | 18:31 |
| ducasse | !mint | mordof | 18:31 |
| ubottu | mordof: 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) | 18:31 |
| ikonia | mordof: they are not the same | 18:31 |
| ikonia | mordof: please use the mint support resources for mint help | 18:32 |
| * mordof sighs. | 18:32 | |
| mordof | alright | 18:32 |
| ikonia | mordof: why sigh ? you're using mint, why not use the mint support resources | 18:32 |
| IntelCore | jordila try cron crontab? | 18:32 |
| ioria | mordof, i think you are on the good track btw | 18:32 |
| jordila | ah | 18:32 |
| mordof | ikonia: just frustrated with the situation, sorry. up until now i didn't know there was a dedicated area for linux mint support. so i'll head over there | 18:33 |
| IntelCore | @reboot /path/to/script | 18:33 |
| mordof | ioria: thanks. and thank you for your help | 18:33 |
| ioria | mordof, you're welcome | 18:33 |
| IntelCore | jordila - https://askubuntu.com/questions/814/how-to-run-scripts-on-start-up | 18:35 |
| mordof | hmm.. come to think of it i'm not sure whether this is ubuntu gnome, or mint. how do i check that? (i have the file system mounted) | 18:35 |
| jordila | i was reading that one IntelCore ... :-) | 18:35 |
| mordof | i should google that instead | 18:35 |
| IntelCore | mint green/ gnome fushia | 18:35 |

| mordof | IntelCore: i'm not running that OS though, i only have the files available. looking into how to chroot | 18:36 |
| mordof | ah | 18:37 |
| mordof | this install is Ubuntu 16.04 | 18:37 |
| IntelCore | 4.4.xxx | 18:37 |
| mordof | alright.. so turns out i'm trying to repair an ubuntu 16.04 partition (one that i don't really care about obviously as i don't use it enough to remember) | 18:38 |
| IntelCore | gnome.org summer of code this yr | 18:39 |
| IntelCore | patience on partitions | 18:40 |
| mordof | ioria: i'm chrooted into the / partition now. at least it's accessible and mountable finally | 18:40 |
| ducasse | mordof: if you don't care about it, why repair it? | 18:40 |
| mordof | ducasse: because i need grub to work to boot windows | 18:40 |
| mordof | and i'm not sure how to get grub to work when there's a broken entry to a linux partition that no longer exists | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | mordof, you didn't know which OS was on that partition? I find that hard to believe. | 18:41 |
| mordof | BluesKaj: i haven't used it since october | 18:41 |
| IntelCore | ntfs - winders | 18:41 |
| mordof | i use linux mint these days | 18:41 |
| ioria | mordof, mount /dev/sda5 on /mnt and take a look | 18:42 |
| IntelCore | this happen to me anna bash fixed me | 18:42 |
| mordof | ioria: it's all my stuff alright. i'm chrooted in too. now i should be able to repair grub | 18:43 |
| mordof | ^_^ | 18:43 |
| ioria | sure | 18:43 |
| mordof | i'm hoping anyway, lol | 18:43 |
| ioria | mordof, have you mounted the critical fs ? | 18:43 |
| IntelCore | advanced start the kernel once | 18:43 |
| mordof | ioria: yes | 18:43 |
| ioria | mordof, ok, reinstall grub | 18:44 |
| IntelCore | ioria.. not that it is need, I did run the advanced start from grub after re-installing grub | 18:45 |
| ioria | IntelCore, ok | 18:45 |
| IntelCore | 3.18.5 gnome on launchpad, 3.24 Debian Gbome on gnome website | 18:59 |
| IntelCore | hmm wha? Diff versions ? | 18:59 |
| IntelCore | I dont have gnome-shell. I have session + classic and fallback, and Metacity | 19:01 |
| mordof | grub works.. ubuntu boots.. now i just need to get a windows entry back into grub and everything is resolved | 19:02 |
| ioria | mordof, sudo update-grub | 19:02 |
| IntelCore | gnome --session, is not gnome-shell | 19:05 |
| IntelCore | if I get a gnome 3, shell, on 16.04.. will it still give me choice at start/login? | 19:07 |
| mordof | ioria: you're a life saver. thank you so much | 19:11 |
| ioria | mordof, good job, mate | 19:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | just got back, glad you got it | 19:12 |
| mordof | thanks | 19:13 |
| mordof | we'll see how windows handles this though... it started trying to finish the update, then said 'windows can not be configured to run on this hardware' - then rebooted and started rolling back the update | 19:14 |
| mordof | and now is saying it needs to be repaired xD | 19:14 |
| mordof | fml | 19:14 |
| mordof | whatever - i can manage from here :) | 19:14 |
| IntelCore | mordof remeber uefi boot windows ? | 19:17 |

| cj101 | Hi guys, got a small issue. Running ubuntu 14.04 with apache 2.4.7 and 16.04 with apache and 2.4.18, fonts are giving 206 errors. Same code runniong on debian 8.7 with apache 2.4.10 works perfect. any ideas? | 19:21 |
| cj101 | I can't see anything different in the configs | 19:22 |
| ikonia | cj101: install the fonts ? | 19:22 |
| haymi | i was trying to install pentaho and needs stable verstion of java in ubuntu16.04 and i have latest version of java 9 and i want to switch to java 8 how can i switch? | 19:22 |
| viju | Hi, while installing kubuntu, I did not select the display manager. Does it cause any issue? | 19:22 |
| cj101 | ikonia, it's web fonts, don't have to install them to serve them. | 19:22 |
| mordof | ioria: i'm on uefi actually | 19:22 |
| ioria | mordof, on /dev/sda | 19:23 |
| ioria | ? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | cj101: then it's not apaches problem is it | 19:23 |
| ikonia | cj101: as apache doesn't serve them | 19:23 |
| mordof | both ubuntu and windows were installed uefi | 19:23 |
| IntelCore | haymi - apt it uninstall 9 -- if you got from repos. get from oracle #8 | 19:23 |
| mordof | ioria: unless they did something funky i'm not aware of | 19:23 |
| ioria | mordof, Partition Table: msdos | 19:24 |
| cj101 | ikonia, i wasn't saying it was apache's problem, but yes apache is serveing them, website using font awesome css. | 19:24 |
| mordof | ioria: what would it be otherwise? | 19:24 |
| ioria | mordof, you don't have an esp partition | 19:24 |
| ikonia | cj101: apache isn't serving the fonts | 19:24 |
| ikonia | cj101: you just said they are web fonts | 19:24 |
| ioria | mordof, i'd say gpt | 19:24 |
| mordof | ioria: not all that knowledge about this stuff. my bios/boot settings are all chosen as uefi though | 19:25 |
| IntelCore | Oracle JDK is the official JDK; however, it is no longer provided by Oracle as a default installation for Ubuntu. | 19:25 |
| ioria | mordof, [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS | 19:25 |
| mordof | k hold on | 19:26 |
| haymi | IntelCore: but I'm afraid that this might overwrite my existing open-jdk version of java. Since I don't know which of my programs depend on java, I fear that this could crash these other programs. | 19:27 |
| cj101 | ikonia, apache serves everything over port 80 to the browser, the fonts are being served by apache to the browser when the browser reads the font awesome css and askes the server for them, apache handles the request. But it is not an apache issue as 2.4.10 running on debian is fine where as 2.4.7 and 2.4.18 on ubuntu are not. Thus sugesting it is an issue with ubuntu, hence why I am here and | 19:27 |
| cj101 | not asking in httpd | 19:27 |
| mordof | ioria: strange. comes back with BIOS | 19:29 |
| IntelCore | haymi - java is kinda in-between now progs run jdk 6 +... yes, below 7 may not run | 19:29 |
| IntelCore | haymi - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-with-apt-get-on-ubuntu-16-04 | 19:29 |
| ioria | mordof, so you installed (correctly) in bios mode... are you uefi capable ? | 19:29 |
| john_rambo | I want to add the firejail command ro chromium-browser in the launcher ...How do I do it ? | 19:30 |
| john_rambo | to* | 19:30 |
| mordof | ioria: is it possible that's why windows needs repairing - in my adventures of repairing my ubuntu partition and reinstalling grub, could've i had switched it off of uefi? | 19:30 |
| jayjo | I would like to run an openvpn server as a systemd on start so I can access my network when the machine is powered on. What do I have to do in terms of configuring ubuntu to accept these connections? | 19:30 |
| IntelCore | haymi - plethora of java.. from webupdate.. and oracle | 19:30 |
| ioria | mordof, nope.... what is ? win 10, 8 or 7 ? | 19:30 |
| viju | I tried installing KDE desktop and now I am getting this error, Errors were encountered while processing: | 19:30 |

| viju | y | 19:30 |
| mordof | ioria: 10 | 19:30 |
| ioria | mordof, weird.... are you uefi capable ? | 19:31 |
| mordof | ioria: definitely, yes | 19:31 |
| haymi | IntelCore: ok let me try then | 19:31 |
| ioria | mordof, someone whould say you, reinstall all (win/ubu) in efi mode ... but not necessary | 19:31 |
| mordof | if it works - even if i'm not in efi mode, i don't care all that much | 19:32 |
| IntelCore | mordof - bcd for windows, copy mbr, save to documents - first | 19:32 |
| ioria | *would | 19:32 |
| Bashing-om | viju: google-accounts also installed ? If so, then library conflict .. will have to remove one of them . | 19:32 |
| IntelCore | mordof - read on the way mbr is wrote and is way to make multi-boot figuration | 19:33 |
| hamdjan | hi | 19:34 |
| IntelCore | i had win 10, then in 14.04 gently messed up. bash fixed me, and windows barffed | 19:35 |
| hamdjan | i want to install ubuntu on my laptop and when try to manually configure the partitions ubuntu installer crashes | 19:35 |
| ioria | hamdjan, check the iso, but if it's ok, not a good sign for your hd | 19:36 |
| hamdjan | md5sum are ok | 19:37 |
| IntelCore | grub2 dual boot ? | 19:37 |
| hamdjan | ok so my ssd dead probably | 19:37 |
| hamdjan | yes | 19:37 |
| ioria | hamdjan, sorry about that | 19:37 |
| hamdjan | its ok | 19:37 |
| IntelCore | google ubuntu installer crashes | 19:37 |
| cj101 | Got it, cross domain issue | 19:38 |
| IntelCore | hamdjan - you will find out if ssd is moxed when doing repairs | 19:38 |
| hamdjan | i want to install lvm encrypted partition with root | 19:39 |
| hamdjan | do i now install to root and later switch to lvm? | 19:39 |
| ioria | idt so | 19:40 |
| hamdjan | well if i configure my partition to lvm encrypted the installer button remains grey | 19:40 |
| hamdjan | it requires an ext4 rootfs somehow :\ | 19:40 |
| lotuspsychje | hamdjan: wich ubuntu version? | 19:41 |
| hamdjan | ubuntu 16.0.4.2 | 19:41 |
| lotuspsychje | hamdjan: uefi settings correctly? changed IDE to AHCI ? | 19:41 |
| IntelCore | https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=+lvm+encrypted+partition&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 19:41 |
| ioria | hamdjan, why don't you use the automatic partitioning ? | 19:41 |
| hamdjan | lvm only works with uefi? | 19:41 |
| hamdjan | ioria, ive got windows in dualboot | 19:41 |
| ioria | ok | 19:42 |
| mordof | the auto partitioner accounts for that | 19:42 |
| IntelCore | encrypted for windows may not work | 19:42 |
| ioria | hamdjan, so the disk is ok ? | 19:42 |
| hamdjan | i/o operations work fine ioria | 19:42 |
| hamdjan | so yes disk appears to be fine | 19:42 |
| IntelCore | i cant encrypt my drive.. win10 | 19:43 |

For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 19:44 |
| donofrio | its really back old video pages keep coming back every 15 seconds or so....I think its the video videoer that is why I ask | 19:44 |
| transhuman | how much longer is precise going to be supported for? | 19:44 |
| donofrio | lotuspsychje, so what is my 2006/7 gpu then? | 19:45 |

| transhuman | is there something special about 12.04 lotuspsychje? | 19:45 |
| transhuman | like its the preferred secure version? | 19:45 |
| ioria | also MS offered an XP paid extension | 19:46 |
| IntelCore | oo is orecise that selinuxubuntu? | 19:46 |
| teward | transhuman: it's technically EOL, unless you pay for extended security support. | 19:46 |
| teward | at least, AIUI | 19:46 |
| IntelCore | hm | 19:47 |
| ioria | widely used | 19:47 |
| transhuman | OK, I just thought it was the preferred corporation version or something | 19:47 |
| donofrio | lotuspsychje,how do I know where my video fits and what driver to get....it's an built in ATI video card | 19:47 |
| donofrio | built into my iMac5,1 | 19:47 |
| dax | transhuman: The preferred long-term stable releases are 14.04 and 16.04. For new deploments, I'd default to 16.04. 12.04 is only getting extended security support because some people failed at making migration plans and want to throw money at Canonical to get around that. | 19:49 |

| IntelCore | 16.04, i think, removed synaptic mgr | 20:12 |
| ducasse | donofrio: i doubt it's as simple as getting the list from one and installing onto the other | 20:19 |
| hamdjan | um | 20:20 |
| hamdjan | installation finished | 20:20 |
| hamdjan | but i think i redo it with lvm, because laptops should be encrypted i think, because they're most vulnerable to attacks | 20:20 |
| |subz3r0| | hamdjan: LVM says exactly _nothing_ about encryption | 20:21 |
| hamdjan | |subz3r0|, mhm, dont you create first the luks partition and upon that lvm mountpoints for rootfs? | 20:23 |
| |subz3r0| | u don't need lvm for dm-crypt | 20:23 |
| |subz3r0| | u can use it, but u dont have to | 20:23 |
| |subz3r0| | and to be honest... the new ubuntu installer is just crap imho | 20:24 |
| |subz3r0| | if you want more functionality during install go with the netinst | 20:24 |

| |subz3r0| | lil__: could it be that something is wrong with the $PATH when using this method? | 20:29 |
| pavlos | |subz3r0|: did you resolve the iptables issue? | 20:31 |
| lil__ | |subz3r0|, hmm it could be | 20:31 |
| lil__ | |subz3r0|, does it not expand ~ to mean /home/"user"? | 20:32 |
| donofrio | ok I'll rebuild anyone here have a 64 bit version of lubuntu that has a 32 bit efi bootloader? | 20:35 |
| hamdjan | after installing linux about the fifth time on my old laptop its still funny when i have to run this command to get my linux bootloader recognized by the laptops firmware :) efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sda -p 1 -w -L "Windows Boot Manager" -l '\EFI\Boot\Bootx64.efi | 20:36 |
| hamdjan | its the crappiest bios firmware i ever encountered | 20:36 |
| Kovi | Every day I run a script to do a database backup. This script does "sudo mount.cifs //WIN_SERVER/BACKUP /home/db_user/mnt -o ....". After few month I have hunders of same mount points to "//WIN_SERVER/BACKUP". Why and how can I unmount that? | 20:38 |
| hamdjan | lol | 20:40 |
| nyuszika7h | Kovi, try sudo umount -A //WIN_SERVER/BACKUP | 20:40 |
| hamdjan | Kovi, try maybe this bash function, which checks whether the smb mountpoint exists before mounting it http://dpaste.com/23K64RC | 20:42 |
| Kovi | nyuszika7h: Thanks. | 20:43 |
| Kovi | hamdjan, how about mountpoint -q ? | 20:43 |
| Kovi | This is what I'm reading on interwebs :) | 20:43 |
| YankDownUnder | I'm a bit taken aback by a "mount" without an "unmount" if one is doing a remote backup... | 20:43 |
| hamdjan | Kovi, yeah should work also | 20:44 |
| Kovi | hamdjan, ok. I'll try that | 20:45 |
| hamdjan | but yes that might be even better Kovi to just umount and then mount | 20:45 |
| hamdjan | as YankDownUnder said, so then you are sure that the smb mount is also working and has no i/o errors | 20:46 |
| Kovi | hamdjan, Maybe, but that mount is not only for that program. I'm using it to to copy transaction logs every 5 minutes | 20:46 |
| lil__ | |subz3r0|, ended up being a sort of path issue. I had to use the direct path to the application in the miniconda dir | 20:47 |

| fishbowlkraken | Oh. Duh | 21:24 |
| fishbowlkraken | sorry, kinda frizzed. | 21:24 |
| fishbowlkraken | Okay, so for some reason my Quadro M2200 seems to be stuck in low power mode. | 21:25 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'd at first thought it wasn't even loading the proprietary driver, as performance was so lousy, but it turns out, no, it's just running at 10% clockspeed with no way to adjust it | 21:25 |
| MonkeyDust | and Quadro M2200 is...? | 21:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | It's a graphics card? | 21:26 |
| IntelCore | Beethoven - http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983 | 21:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | Quadro is Nvidia's scientific line of cards | 21:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | Anyway, the card was only introduced in January, and the laptop it's running on only came out in the last month, so the drivers for it are pretty new | 21:27 |
| IntelCore | Beethoven - windows does health checks maint times. now, smart is in the drive as data and always there - you read with gsmart | 21:27 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm only able to load them on Ubuntu from external PPAs, since 375, the most recent Nvidia drivers in the repos, don't support this card. 378 was when support was introduced, and it wasn't until 381 that the card was fully supported. In 378 you can't even change brightness | 21:28 |
| luis30 | when is kernel 4.12 coming out if it has not already | 21:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | So, I've been trying to get my GPU's powermizer or whatever Nvidia calls it to run in higher performance than the bare minimum powersave mode, but it's refusing to do so. | 21:29 |
| IntelCore | system has a setting for brightness & lock | 21:30 |
| xangua | luis30: did you check kernel.org ? As you should know Ubuntu is not a rolling release distro so there won't be an immediate update | 21:30 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Inable to identify the driver from provided info ; what shows - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - in a pastebin . | 21:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | It's Nvidia-381. IntelCore was there last night when we figured out the driver was indeed loaded correctly | 21:30 |
| IntelCore | yes remember it | 21:31 |
| luis30 | ubuntu 17.04 seems to have freezing issues....some suggest it could be a intel but that will be fixed in kernel 4.12 | 21:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Kernel driver in use: nvidia | 21:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_381, nvidia_381_drm | 21:31 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: 381 version is available in our trusted PPA . | 21:31 |
| IntelCore | Bashin is help you fish | 21:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | It's only a few lines, figured I didn't need to pastebin it. | 21:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yes, I'm using that PPA. | 21:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | However, there's still an issue where for some reason the card is stuck at 135MHz | 21:32 |
| fishbowlkraken | it can do 1.03GHz, so I'm trying to get it to respect the "prefer maximum performance" setting | 21:33 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Well, let's look and see if X is happy ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit ' . | 21:33 |
| fishbowlkraken | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24695602/ | 21:34 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: reading .. I be awhile . | 21:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | No problem! | 21:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | Someone actually posted about having more or less this exact problem on the Nvidia dev forums last night, zero responses though | 21:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1010612/sluggish-performance-no-reclocking-ubuntu-17-04-kernel-4-12rc2-nvidia-quadro-m2200-driver-381-22-/ | 21:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | The weird thing though, is that on Thursday I was able to get it to clock correctly. I got about three hours of playing a 3D game at high speed, which was super great, but I have no idea what I did that made it work. | 21:37 |

| fishbowlkraken | but yeah, unlike all my other systems it seems to be locked to only one TTY | 21:38 |
| fishbowlkraken | maybe it's a fresh install of 17.04 thing? | 21:38 |
| fishbowlkraken | For the past three nights I've done a bunch of random hacks to try and fix this that haven't worked, so after having a bunch of kludgy things I reinstalled fresh again, so this is all more or less stock Ubuntu, just running Cinnamon, as, dear god, nothing else supports HiDPI worth a crap. | 21:39 |
| fishbowlkraken | sec, I'mma check on a print I'm doing | 21:40 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: screamming right on along " 4.651] (II) NVIDIA(0): Detected PCI Express Link width: 16X " // HiDPI : see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI . | 21:43 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yup, HiDPI has been an adventure. | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | That's why I'm using Cinnamon. | 21:48 |
| YankDownUnder | Gnome3 doesn't support HiDPI? | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sorry for the absence there, I checked on the print to see if it'd messed up, lo and behold it had. | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | It *does* but it's a huge pain to get working right | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | lot of Gnome-Tweak stuff. | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | Cinnamon just starts up scaled correctly | 21:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm actually getting an odd issue where Cinnamon won't change icon themes, but that's far less pressing than the 90% loss in graphical capability on my new CAD workstation, so I'll burn that bridge when I get there. | 21:50 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, You had mentioned that last night...yersh... | 21:51 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Is this a sane clock rate " NVIDIA(GPU-0): AU Optronics Corporation (DFP-2): 960.0 MHz maximum pixel clock " ? | 21:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | I reinstalled after last night, even | 21:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | Sane, yes, but below maximum | 21:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | also not what I'm currently seeing as clock rate | 21:51 |
| fishbowlkraken | max clockrate of the M2200 in my machine is 1038, currently it's running at 135, with the memory running at 810 with a max of 5508 | 21:52 |
| fishbowlkraken | All MHz, obviously | 21:53 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, Not to distract you from your "turmoil" about graphics, but on the note of icon themes - you *ARE* putting the icon themes in ~/.icons ==> right? Just asking... | 21:53 |
| Bashing-om | ok: then there is an advisory of a file in use . does /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file exist ? | 21:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | not that I can see, keep in mind other than your PPA everything else is stock ubuntu | 21:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | I reinstalled before coming here to make sure nothing I did would screw anything up | 21:53 |
| === TheFuzzb_ is now known as TheFuzzball | ||
| fishbowlkraken | yankdownunder: Just changing icon themes from the Cinnamon control center. I think it has something to do with other DEs having been installed as default | 21:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | Last night when I was using Ubuntu as a base, Cinnamon had orange icons and orange checkboxes, but when I reinstalled I went with Ubuntu Gnome, and now everything's blue and white | 21:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | anyway, the default GNOME icons don't look half bad, and it let me set a dark theme, so not a pressing concern atm | 21:56 |
| YankDownUnder | fishbowlkraken, By "default", the ~/.icons & ~/.themes directories are checked by GTK/GTK2/GTK3 engines...aside from the system-wide directories...hence the question... | 21:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | Ah. Yeah, haven't checked anything about that yet, but I'm focused on the nvidia drivers | 21:56 |
| fishbowlkraken | Weird, there's nothing in .icons | 21:57 |
| fishbowlkraken | nothing in .themes either. I installed all the themes I'd have using Synaptic, so I'd assume they installed the way the system wants them to | 21:57 |
| fishbowlkraken | oh well, again, not super pressing atm | 21:58 |
| fishbowlkraken | bashing-om: Do I need a xorg.conf? By default Ubuntu doesn't use one | 22:00 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: A fact that the use of the file is depreciated . If it is there I might see what results when moving it out of the way . | 22:01 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, I remember needing to set an option in Xorg for an issue with an obscure mouse, of all things, back in like 2013 | 22:02 |
| fishbowlkraken | but that was a long time ago. Nah, I'm running everything pretty much straight | 22:02 |
| sidetracking | yo | 22:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | my issue seems to be related to this one:https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1010612/sluggish-performance-no-reclocking-ubuntu-17-04-kernel-4-12rc2-nvidia-quadro-m2200-driver-381-22-/ | 22:03 |
| sidetracking | whats the best way to take some hard drive space off my winblows partition and put it on my GNU+Linux part | 22:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | so if that has more information for you it'd be fairly relevant to me, as I have the same laptop, down to the same processor and GPU | 22:03 |
| donofrio | srink volume from disk admin | 22:03 |
| fishbowlkraken | bashing-om: Anything else jump out at you? Or any other readouts I could do that'd help? | 22:07 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: radin the link , in the meantime " NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (278, 288); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config " Huh ... what file ? | 22:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | I have no idea, lol | 22:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | you think it might be in the x11 section in etc? I'll take a look | 22:07 |
| fishbowlkraken | yeah, not seeing that file | 22:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | That is approximately my DPI though | 22:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | so I guess it asked the EDID for that | 22:09 |
| fishbowlkraken | Oh, the one other odd component this thing has is a color palette calibrator | 22:10 |
| mbff | Question: Do I need to run apt-get upgrade if I plan to run dist-upgrade right after? Or does dist-upgrade cover everything upgrade does? | 22:10 |
| fishbowlkraken | dunno if that's important, but I thought I'd mention it, as maybe it messing with the display could cause something? It's a longshot but just thinking out loud | 22:10 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Got me .. but anything significacnt in the /var/log/gpu-manager.log file ? | 22:13 |
| Bashing-om | mbff: 'apt' is the new kid on the block . ' sudo apt full-upgrade '. | 22:14 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'll check | 22:16 |
| fishbowlkraken | https://pastebin.com/LwZnb01a | 22:17 |
| fishbowlkraken | By the way, I disabled the Intel GPU in BIOS, so if it looks strange that all the Nvidia Prime and etc aren't loaded and the Intel GPU isn't present, that's why | 22:18 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Maybe not a good idea to disable Intel .. as it could be a pass through for the nvidia data stream . | 22:20 |
| fishbowlkraken | Alright, I'll give that a shot. Be back in a flash | 22:20 |
| fishbowlkraken | Literally. Man, after decades of using spinning disk media, flash memory blows my mind with how quick it boots | 22:20 |
| fishbowlkraken | okeydoke | 22:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | HEY NOW | 22:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | Lemme check somethin | 22:26 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: What have we for installed nvidia modules ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? | 22:26 |
| fishbowlkraken | ii bbswitch-dkms 0.8-4ubuntu1 amd64 Interface for toggling the power on NVIDIA Optimus video cards ii libcuda1-381 381.22-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.2 amd64 NVIDIA CUDA runtime library ii nvidia-381 381.22-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.2 | 22:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | oops, should pastebin that | 22:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | https://pastebin.com/jKbwbBYj | 22:28 |
| fishbowlkraken | bashing-om: after enabling the Intel GPU again it would seem the Nvidia system is letting me control the GPU | 22:29 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm going to run a game, see if it actually runs at above 4 FPS | 22:29 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: KK ! .. All looks good to me . | 22:30 |
| oerheks_ | good find | 22:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | okay, that's idiotic | 22:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | it changed the clock once | 22:30 |
| fishbowlkraken | Oh good, it's running at the top speed right now | 22:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | but as soon as I launch a game it shuts off again for some reason. | 22:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | I really, *really* hate Nvidia Prime. | 22:31 |
| fishbowlkraken | It never friggin works right. | 22:31 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Not make much sense ... try a different game and same results ? | 22:33 |
| fishbowlkraken | Yeah, every time I launch something ACTUALLY graphically intensive it shuts down back to nothing | 22:34 |
| fishbowlkraken | also for some reason there's a trail behind my mouse cursor now where there wasn't before | 22:35 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: Sorry. I am out of ideas here . Will take one with greater skills than I . | 22:35 |
| fishbowlkraken | Gahhhhh | 22:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | I really just want to kill Prime off, it gives me the option, I don't see why it shouldn't let me. | 22:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | You know what, I'm going to try a dumbass idea. I'll come back in a while. | 22:36 |
| fishbowlkraken | I'm gonna delete Nvidia-settings. The one time I got games running correctly I didn't have it installed. I'm wondering if maybe Nvidia-settings is somehow forcing a setting, and without it the card just runs at max power | 22:37 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: wanna try prime ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME . | 22:40 |
| fishbowlkraken | You know how the thing I said sounded like a dumb, last-ditch idea? | 22:46 |
| fishbowlkraken | Turns out it absolutely was. | 22:46 |
| fishbowlkraken | No dice. | 22:46 |
| fishbowlkraken | Is there a channel for like, JUST driver troubleshooting on Linux in general? | 22:47 |
| fishbowlkraken | I get the feeling I'm going to have to beseech some greybeards if I want this to work | 22:47 |
| Bashing-om | fishbowlkraken: 17:40 < Bashing-om> fishbowlkraken: wanna try prime ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME . | 22:48 |
| fishbowlkraken | I tried using it, didn't really fare any better | 22:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Did people see the favor google did for us... easylinuxtipsproject | 22:49 |
| fishbowlkraken | ? | 22:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/Home | 22:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Its like they took our best nots and tips and prettied them up | 22:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | notes | 22:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | ours and mints | 22:50 |
| IntelCore | oh, stop this channel | 22:50 |
| IntelCore | from now on we just correct their google pages | 22:51 |
| IntelCore | lol lol lol | 22:51 |
| oerheks_ | please don't .. | 22:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Check out their display tips.. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/display | 22:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | It will help get people started | 22:52 |
| oerheks_ | i vote against those pages, the guys should edit our wiki instead | 22:52 |
| fishbowlkraken | that's pretty neat | 22:53 |
| fishbowlkraken | But sometimes you need the crazy insights that only people that like to hang out on IRC channels can provide. | 22:53 |
| blkadder | That may be the pot talking. | 22:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Regardless, it is another legitimate site | 22:54 |
| fishbowlkraken | Maybe, but it wouldn't be the first time a pothead fixed my computer as if by magic | 22:55 |
| IntelCore | you guys/gals , gnome | 22:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | I had a friend in college who drank whatever he could get his hands on and smoked whatever was lying around, whenever I'd reach the end of the line on a bug with my system, I'd hand it to him, and just say "fix it" | 22:55 |
| fishbowlkraken | he'd say "fix what?" I'd reply "just, IT." He'd disappear with my computer for like, four hours, hand it back to me with a dozen issues fixed with random scripts and hacks that made the machine run like it was new | 22:56 |
| IntelCore | i gnome. why even unity gnome on tablets | 22:56 |

| Acou_Bass | can anyone help me diagnose a hard system lock-up? using ubuntu GNOME 17.04, my computer basically lasts about 5 minutes before it completely locks up (usually when i resize a window or open activities), journalctl -b -1 doesnt seem to display anything after a command i run in a terminal (i just run any old command so itll show up in the journal, then fiddle around with the desktop until it crashes to diagnose it) so the crash isnt | 23:26 |
| Acou_Bass | showing in journal | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Running compiz cube? | 23:28 |
| Acou_Bass | ubuntu GNOME not unity hehe | 23:28 |
| Bashing-om | Acou_Bass: nvidia graphics and nouveau driver ? | 23:31 |
| Acou_Bass | intel intergrated gfx, cherry trail | 23:31 |
| Acou_Bass | right now im trying a fresh install from freshly-downloaded ISO, it was a new install anyway so nothing of importance was lost XD | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Acou_Bass, Use any ppa's or outside sources for your apps | 23:33 |
| Acou_Bass | not yet no | 23:33 |
| Acou_Bass | like i said fairly fresh install | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | LAptop ? | 23:34 |
| IntelCore | lock hangs .. process | 23:34 |
| Acou_Bass | suppose so, its a GPD win... and heres the weird thing, when i had ubuntu installed on the internal HDD it worked fine, but now ive moved the install to an SD card im getting these issues | 23:34 |
| Acou_Bass | so uhh, im guessing thats related :P | 23:34 |
| Bashing-om | Acou_Bass: SSD, in bios is AHCI enabled ? | 23:35 |
| Acou_Bass | good question, ive not checked to be honest | 23:36 |
| Bashing-om | Acou_Bass: Sometimes the setting is verrrryyy obscure . I like to have never figured mine out . | 23:37 |
| Acou_Bass | hehe | 23:37 |
| Acou_Bass | this device has a fairly comprehensive bios, im sure i can dig it out - any idea what sort of headers its usually under? | 23:37 |
| Bashing-om | Acou_Bass: Nope. I am only familiar with Phonix and award bios' . | 23:39 |
| Acou_Bass | fair enough, ill have a dig through in a few mins im just going through the fresh install now (cant hurt right?) | 23:39 |
| Bashing-om | Acou_Bass: Uh Huh, can not hurt .. I musta re-installed 10 times in my attempts to get the SSD functional on old old hardware :) - was not the install at fault ! | 23:42 |
| Acou_Bass | hehe | 23:42 |
| Acou_Bass | its not an SSD its a microSD, in the SD card slot of the device, which i 100% agree is sub-optimal to say the least | 23:43 |
| monty_hall | how to burn an iso in ubuntu 17? | 23:43 |
| monty_hall | i right click the iso, but I don't see "burn" | 23:44 |
| monty_hall | there's a disk in the machine that's empy | 23:44 |
| monty_hall | wassup? | 23:44 |
| IntelCore | brasero disk burner | 23:44 |
| IntelCore | or, what you software? | 23:45 |
| IntelCore | eject disk | 23:45 |
| monty_hall | can't mount the iso's from matlab - it's multivolume dvd | 23:45 |
| blkadder | https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu | 23:45 |
| blkadder | Mounting would be a different problem. | 23:46 |
| monty_hall | can't umount the iso in the middle of a switch w/o it complaining "disk in use.." etc. so I decided, I'll just burn matlab to disck | 23:46 |
| monty_hall | I just found out, sudo'ing in a mountied iso, effectively makes it disappear | 23:46 |
| monty_hall | mounted - via nautilus | 23:46 |
| donofrio | anyone here have a 64 bit version of lubuntu that will boot with a 32 bit efi bootloader? | 23:48 |
| IntelCore | live cd lubuntu with 32 bit pc? | 23:49 |
| * monty_hall weeps gently | 23:50 | |
| donofrio | it's a 64 bit imac with a 32 bit efi so I need 32 bit bootloader and 64 bit os any thoughts? | 23:50 |
| monty_hall | dvd 1 - dual layer 7gb at a speed of 3.2mb/s | 23:50 |
| IntelCore | 64 bit uefi - signed kernel | 23:51 |
| monty_hall | I think I can get married, get a my wife pregnant, have a child, and have it graduate by the time it's done burning. | 23:51 |
| IntelCore | donofrio why is 32 efi ? | 23:52 |
| donofrio | IntelCore, I dunno it's how apple made these 2006 imac's | 23:55 |
