[00:00] What model A8 do you have [00:00] Fenix_Peregrino: possibly, but it depends on a bunch of stuff [00:00] AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7 [00:01] Aginor: like what :)? [00:01] Fenix_Peregrino: drivers, linux port quality of the games, ram, other hardware in the system [00:02] Yeah that CPU should be fine even by itself with no dedicated GPU at 60fps [00:02] at medium settings anyway [00:03] Aginor: I have good RAM and most or components are high quality. I just have problems in the processor part and graphic card. [00:03] kenrin: perfect, the thing is I have it at best and shadows at ultra settings [00:04] shadows is one of the things that kill FPS [00:05] kenrin: lol [00:07] kenrin: I was thinking getting this graphic card.Asus® Video AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB GDDR5 ROG Strix [00:07] kenrin: will do the work? [00:08] Fenix_Peregrino: at this point, you should take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:08] Honestly I think you'll still be limited by the CPU, LoL isn't a GPU intensive game [00:09] kenrin: is Dota2 a GPU intensive game? [00:09] Nope [00:09] leftyfb: ok :) [00:09] kenrin: :( [00:38] hi, does ubuntu pull in non-security updates from debian outside the 6-month release cycle? [00:38] (I'm finally moving from win to linux and trying to pick between debian testing and ubuntu (for desktop). I do have some linux experience but prefer when things work, but I also like to have current software) [00:41] lxtemp: ubuntu does important bugfix and security fixes for the lifetime of a release. imho, ubuntu does it faster and better than debian. [00:41] meaning you'll see fixes in ubuntu sooner than in debian. [00:41] generally. [00:42] even faster than debian testing? [00:42] depends but yes that's my experience [00:43] lxtemp: note that debian testing is actually last to receive updates in debian. sid and stable/oldstable get first, testing later [00:43] can someone tell me how to see the CPU and GPU usage? what program or command should I use? [00:43] security fixes at least [00:44] Fenix_Peregrino: "System Monitor" for some nice graphs, or top on command line. as for GPU, no idea except nvidia-settings for nvidia [00:46] fallentree: thank you very much [00:46] fallentree: thanks! do you know how bad the upgrades from one release to another are? in the past, I've always had some issues, and all the ubuntu systems I've used for a while were popping up crash warnings on login :( [00:46] fallentree: !!! [00:48] lxtemp: some swear they're fine, but that's not my experience, I always reinstall [00:48] ouch [00:50] given the changes they do between releases, I'm not surprised [00:51] I can only fetch boxloads of popcorn for the 17.10 upbreakgrade :) [00:55] fallentree, you mentioned ubuntu getting fixes faster - are we talking days or months here? [00:57] days to weeks. sometimes debian is faster, but generally not. but that's not the point. the point is in ubuntu SAUCE patches to the kernel that debian hasn't got, so security is better in ubuntu. plus apparmor is native. if you need to choose, go ubuntu. [00:59] lxtemp: I have seen security patches done within minutes of the discovery in ubuntu . [01:04] sigh. I guess I'll buy two stacks of keyboards. Try to get a working environment on debian, try to get a working environment on ubuntu, and try to maintain both across a release. the distro with the highest remaining stack of keyboards wins and stays, the other joins the keyboards broken in frustration on the way out ;) [01:12] thanks for the help, I think I'll just try both out one more time! [01:19] Am I seeing this right? 64bit and 32bit Qt development files cannot be installed simultaneously? [01:38] oh for crying out... I don't think 32bit Qt is even possible on 64bit === jj-_ is now known as jj- [01:38] in 16.04 at least [01:42] Qt's official install instructions on Ubuntu specifically "download and run this installer..." well that pretty much confirms it [01:51] <_28Kb> !apparmor [01:51] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [01:55] I used dd to create a bootable pendrive and created a new partition on it for persistent storage but it is not saving data of session. What is the thing I am missing? === downtime is now known as uptime [01:59] sachina, i don't think you can do persistent storage if you use dd, you have to use a tool like usb-creator [02:00] Actually I followed a tutorial on linux dot com. DD was used to create bootable drive and gparted to create a new partition to store data. [02:01] well i don't know what instructions you followed... it looks like it is possible to do with a partition according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent but it has to have a volume label casper-rw [02:01] since i don't know what you did i don't know what you're missing [02:02] I labled partition as live-rw. Is this what I am missing? [02:02] maybe i don't know [02:02] ok, let me try that.. [02:02] the instructions i found say casper-rw [02:12] + [02:20] sachina: I believe it should be "casper-rw". === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:33] How do I make a live-usb with the drivers I need for nvidia graphics and network from another computer so that the one I want to boot will have both GUI and network access? [03:37] schultza: What happens when you try to boot the live-usb on the target computer now? If you at all can, it's easier to install drivers after installing Ubuntu. [03:38] I'm not trying to install ubuntu on this machine. Im doing emergency rescue of windows drives before I restart windows on it. There is a partition that doesnt seem to be recognizing by windows nor linux/ubuntu with an NTFS or FAT FS. [03:38] IE: im making an as-is 1:1 backup of the whole drive. [03:40] Now, to answer your question, I get to live boot, it has a problem with neavuo (sp?) drivers and doesnt load any GUI, just the command prompt. I plug in network cable, but doesnt update network settings. Manually update ip address and netmask, but doesnt seem to talk. [03:49] !nomodeset | schultza [03:49] schultza: 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 [03:50] I'll try this. [04:13] Hi. My ubuntu app-store goes blank and does nothing when I select an item or I type some name in the text box. What gives? === g2[ATL] is now known as g2 [04:16] Hello. I've replaced the sddm icons for breeze-slider theme and when I boot up they do not appear. However, when i run sddm-greeter from terminal, they do appear. Any ideas?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:41] dave79, anyone and no one will answer a question you have not asked [04:58] If my Ubuntu 14.04 installation never had a lightdm upstart conf in /etc/init/, it's probably the server flavour, right? I can't remember what flavour I installed on an old machine.

I've looked up instructions on installing a standalone flash player on ubuntu, and there are instructions, but for some reason they don't seem to be working or I'm doing them wrong. TLDR - how do I get a standalone flash player on ubuntu? [06:19] join raspberrypi [06:21] Me? [06:38] cat < /dev/tcp/towel.blinkenlights.nl/23 [06:38] ^ best command ever [06:38] !info flashplugin-installer xenial [06:38] flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 25.0.0.171ubuntu0.16.04.1 (xenial), package size 6 kB, installed size 58 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [06:39] BlitzerHound: ^^ Try ' sudo apt install flashplugin-installer ' . [06:39] Is that to play flash files locally? [06:40] Also, it didn't seem to do anything [06:40] 0 newly installed was part of the last bit it returned [06:41] BlitzerHound: No, sorry did not read what you wrote . I do not know of a flash stand alone . [06:41] crap. [06:42] BlitzerHound: Just because I do not know of one, does not mean there are none . just I do not know . [06:42] Yeah. While I'm waiting for an answer here I'm still searching around to see if I can come up with it on my own. [06:44] How do I tell if my system is 32 or 64 bit? [06:45] BlitzerHound: "arch" [06:45] On terminal? [06:45] yup [06:45] It said i686 [06:46] 32 bit [06:47] uname -m [06:47] what's your problem? [06:47] BlitzerHound: dpkg --print-architecture [06:47] uname -m will print "x86_64" if you're on a 64-bit machine [06:48] HA I got it [06:48] So I just used wine to run an exe program that adobe has on its downloads page. [06:48] In case anyone else wants to know how to do this in the future. [06:49] Anyway, thanks guys. Later. [06:50] hello [06:50] how are you? [06:51] So did anyone try running that command I recommended? "cat < /dev/tcp/towel.blinkenlights.nl/23" [06:51] if you're board at work... I highly recommend that command [06:53] in a world of hacking, i don't recommend you type that command. [06:53] tell me, is it okay to upgrade, by ourselves, the kernel, choosing the latest stable version (for example) of the kernel on kernel.org and downloading it from the ubuntu kernel ppa, or is it better to wait for the suggested updates from synaptic, etc? [06:54] schultza, it's harmless I swear.. google search towel.blinkenlights.nl [06:54] or just open a telnet connection to towel.blinkenlights.nl and watch [06:54] show the video ansichart! x) [06:54] It is an ASCII animation of Star Wars [06:54] better to wait unless you know what you are doing, peixoto. the reason is, ubuntu developers test the software and update it to make it work with their system before releasing it to us. [06:55] oh [06:55] It uses the control characters to clear the screen, so it can print the characters frame by frame [06:55] you heard of ASCII Art... this is an ASCII movie [06:56] apparently this has been around for decades and is still up [06:56] yeah, schultza, okay. i see. so it could not be totally adapted for the distrib, as it is just kernel kernel. okay. thank you. what version of the kernel do you have you, for example, and why? :) [06:56] hey, hot do i tell lubuntu to force install a graphic card with my chip id number? [06:56] how8 [06:56] how* [06:57] the one that ships with ubuntu by latest ubuntu stable standards. [07:00] RenegadeZed: can you be more specific [07:02] Ben64: how? [07:02] what graphics card are you installing [07:03] it's an integrated graphic card [07:03] radeon xpress 200m [07:03] i have the chip id [07:03] 0x5955 [07:03] so whats the issue [07:04] when i boot up i have to open grub and add acpi=off in the edit .. if i don't do that i get a black screen and computer hangs [07:04] also my sound card does some weird fart noises [07:05] ok well acpi=off isn't great [07:05] i know, but it's the only thing that made me boot up on the desktop [07:06] what version of ubuntu [07:06] it's temporary [07:06] Lubuntu 17.04 [07:06] temporary? [07:06] yeah acpi=off, using it until i can find a better solution [07:07] https://goo.gl/forms/Iwpc3vyCsUiVm0xn1 > survey for the kernel version :) [07:07] (the full link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftkj9F85wxvrkVAVmFUnxxJiaNG2SpuvSPWflkIT_8k4Ol4A/viewform?usp=sf_link) [07:07] peixoto: please don't === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:08] aight, too bad :) [07:08] RenegadeZed: what do you mean by 'black screen and computer hangs' [07:09] i mean exactly that.. lol [07:09] well alright then, good luck [07:09] it doesn't boot, i get a black screen, then the computer freeze [07:11] Ben64: i'm saying it how i see it, with limited knowledge.. if you need specific information, just ask. i'm not going to write an essay on how a black screen is black lol [07:12] RenegadeZed: black screen with no strings displayed? [07:12] RenegadeZed: where is the boot process blocked? [07:13] right, cristian_c: i get half a second of lubuntu logo, then boom, black screen. the del that shows hdd activity doesn't blink at all, and the power button is fading in and out of orange [07:14] looks like it's in sleep/hibernate mode .. but frozen. only way to do something is to hold the power button and make it reboot into grub with acpi=off just before the quiet splash line [07:14] RenegadeZed: you've to disable quiet splash in order to display boot messages [07:15] ok, so just delete quiet splash from the edit in grub? [07:15] RenegadeZed: delete them at runtime, I mean, pressing 'e' in grub and deleting the strings, then f10 [07:16] yup, just done that [07:16] waiting for boot [07:16] well crash on boot.. lol [07:16] ? [07:17] RenegadeZed: if you remove quiet splash, lubuntu logo is not displyed [07:17] hmm, removing quiet splash makes it boot without any problem tho [07:17] can the lubuntu logo make the laptop crash? lol [07:17] but you'll see boot messages in place of logo or black screen [07:18] RenegadeZed: try again [07:18] make sure it makes the trick [07:18] RenegadeZed: try removing quiet splsh without adding acpi=off [07:19] that's what i did [07:19] hmm weird [07:19] What is acpi? [07:20] well, just removing quiet splash makes me boot all the way to the desktop.. no need of acpi=off now lol [07:20] schultza: some power management thing [07:21] schultza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface [07:21] RenegadeZed: splash screen is an animation, it's possible it involves the gpu graphics [07:21] cristian_c: makes sense.. also, i think the graphics might not be installed correctly on the laptop.. [07:22] :O [07:22] so i got the chip id, wanted to try to force lubuntu into installing graphic drivers with the chip id [07:22] RenegadeZed: lshw -C video [07:23] cristian_c: would you happen to remember the shortcut for the lxterminal? [07:23] ctrl+alt+t [07:23] tyvm [07:26] cristian_c: product RC410m (mobility radeon xpress 200m) [07:26] looks good to me [07:27] proprietary driver i think.. is the open source driver better in this case? [07:27] i remember playing CS:S on this laptop back in the days, when it was running windows xp [07:35] anyone available? how do i fix quiet splash from making my computer freeze? [07:38] hello [07:38] one sec RenegadeZed, remove quite splash and see where it gets stuck [07:42] elstellino: if i remove quiet splash, no more stuck [07:42] https://askubuntu.com/questions/109944/highlight-the-first-entry-and-replace-quiet-splash-with-nomodeset-how-do-i-d#109953 [07:43] nomodeset doesn't work, it was one of the first thing i tried a couple days ago. and recovery menu is now built with nomodeset in mind with 17.04 form what i heard [07:43] RenegadeZed: if you remove quite splash, still getting stuck but it will prompt you what the computer is doing, so you will see where it gets stuck === furycd001 is now known as laceylaney [07:44] then i found out that acpi=off works.. but not a good solution.. then we found out just removing quiet splash works too, don't even need acpi=off [07:44] or do like this RenegadeZed: https://askubuntu.com/questions/477821/how-can-i-permanently-remove-the-boot-option-quiet-splash [07:44] elstellino: no, i removed quiet splash, and it doesn't get stuck anymore [07:44] ah [07:44] elstellino: thanks ill look into this [07:45] nomodeset is not starting a gui [07:45] so it’s quiet splash really, very odd, never heard, sorry [07:45] how do i get an intel wireless connected to download and install a lighter desktop? [07:45] nomodeset disables the gpu driver [07:45] RenegadeZed: pastebin the result 0f lshw -C video [07:46] let me rephrase... NO NETWORK! [07:46] HI guys ^^ [07:46] schultza: is the wifi chip well detected by ubuntu= [07:46] ? [07:46] and, what ubuntu?

[07:55] schultza: which cases the system crashes? [07:55] i don't know, i'm brand new to lubuntu [07:55] *does the system crashes [07:55] been a week [07:55] If I wanted to contribute a new 2FA to Ubuntu Login (login.launchpad.net) where would I go about finding that code? [07:55] RenegadeZed: how have you installed lubuntu 17.04? [07:56] rufus, mounted the iso on a sandisk 16gb usb key [07:56] and.... [07:57] what dev does and an ssd map to? [07:57] sata? [07:57] schultza: can ypu use an ethernet connection temporarily? [07:58] im on the network [07:58] trying to restore an ssd or sda1 [07:58] or both [07:59] O.o [07:59] when i booted from live usb, everything worked perfectly, that's why i installed [07:59] ok.. sda1 is reserved ms... so im definately misisng an ssd [07:59] RenegadeZed: does the live session show the splash screen? [08:00] yep, Lubuntu in cian-ish with dots running under it [08:00] RenegadeZed: cyanish splash seems the fallback version of splash [08:00] oh [08:00] it shows also in vm [08:01] hmm, anything i need to update? [08:02] RenegadeZed: immediately after you installed lubuntu, do you see the splash? Or dpes the issue appears after system updates? [08:03] yeah splash shows up, looks like the screen is changing resolution (weird flicker) then black screen and freeze [08:03] it does show up for a fraction of a second if i just boot up with normal parameters, without touching anything in grub [08:04] RenegadeZed: do you mean the first boot after you've installed the system? [08:05] cristian_c: first boot looked the same as any other boots, might have taken slightly longer to crash tho, couple seconds max [08:06] RenegadeZed: so, did the splash work only in live session? Has it never worked in the installed os? [08:07] just entered an external drive.. why can i not write to it? [08:07] the full animation of the splash only works in live or when i add acpi=off, other than that, i never see the full animation, just a couple fraction of a second i see the splash on "normal" boot/crash [08:08] schultza: I don't know if your issue is related to either wifi or storage [08:08] nvm [08:08] had to make a folder in command prompt [08:08] initially gpu, then network, then storage.. i was originally doing this to backup data from an ssd if i could.. and a regular hard drive.. no ssd is showing [08:09] not even in bios/uefi [08:10] RenegadeZed: sudo apt-get update [08:11] schultza: is ubuntu 16.04 installed on your machine? [08:11] no [08:12] had windows on the missing ssd [08:12] schultza: so, are you in a live session? [08:13] RenegadeZed: have you tried to load a previous kernel between those installed? [08:14] not sure what a kernel is to be honest [08:14] RenegadeZed: look at grub [08:15] RenegadeZed: and then advanced options [08:15] RenegadeZed: but first [08:15] RenegadeZed: sudo apt-get update [08:15] i did sudo apt-get update [08:15] do i need to reboot?

[08:20] * cristian_c ask himself why schultza uses linux [08:20] *asks [08:21] I use linux because windows is broken. :) [08:21] * aldaek is the same as schultza. [08:22] aldaek: install a not broken copy of windows (reinstall) [08:22] :) [08:22] cristian_c, cant... missing ssd. [08:22] aldaek: not sure you wanted to achieve with joining the channel and that random statement [08:22] in fact, if the ssd was responding like it should, id be in windows playing my games. [08:22] ikonia, im on the channel twice. [08:23] ikonia, yep yep [08:23] ? [08:23] ? [08:23] aldaek/schulza, is windows installed on the ssd? [08:24] on the ssd, if it was responding, has windows installed on it. === yinflying is now known as www_ha_orgt [08:24] was trying to see if linux will help me fetch and save files from said ssd... [08:24] im sad it still will not show up [08:24] so, you can't boot windows anymore and you0ve to make a backup of windows content using ubuntu in live session === www_ha_orgt is now known as ha [08:24] cristian_c, yes. [08:25] aldaek: I don't know if you've never used linux on that machine [08:26] cristian_c, live dvd is the first time im using ubuntu on this machine. [08:26] cpu, ram, gpu, please? [08:26] *. [08:27] cristian_c, you better find out what partitiontype that SSD is, windows(10) usually uses ExFat [08:28] that would need exfat-fuse exfat-utils to make it work === ha is now known as www|ha|orgt [08:29] oerheks: if it's exfat, you're right [08:29] I believe exfat-fuse is a dependency pf exfat-utils === www|ha|orgt is now known as wwwHaOrg [08:30] https://pastebin.com/xF4iqure [08:31] * cristian_c did not think exfat was so common in windows installation (he was left to ntfs/fat32) === wwwHaOrg is now known as yinflying [08:32] Hello, does ubuntu-mono font contain chinese character? [08:32] lshw doesnt even show the ssd... probably not going to until uefi/bios shows it first. [08:32] im very sad. [08:32] aldaek: btw, your nvidia driver is not loaded, same for the intel builtin gpu driver [08:33] cristian_c, currently nomodeset, as standard boot will not load gui [08:33] aldaek: so, pci express and not sata? [08:33] either/or... not showing up [08:33] aldaek: 16.04.2 iso? [08:33] yes [08:34] aldaek: sudo fdisk -l [08:34] aldaek: and: sudo parted -l [08:35] um... what is all this /dev/ram## ?

[08:41] but only a reserved one and the windows ntfs [08:41] ok [08:41] and secure boot is disabled.. i even tried enabling it.. no change.... [08:41] but 1 TB disk has a gpt table [08:42] so, it seems a boot disk [08:42] ahm ok, western digital, you're right [08:43] aldaek: so, there are connected: the live dvd, a western digital 1 TB disk and a seagate 2 TB disk on your laptop? [08:44] + ssd [08:44] yes. there is another non-working cdrom internaly to the laptop and should be another drive of ssd type 256-500 GB in size also internal to the laptop. not showing in uefi/bios screens either. [08:45] i looked up the drive, it doesnt show anyting about an ssd or other storage attached to the disk drive. [08:46] i think you cannot fix GPT with ubuntu, use your windows dvd [08:46] elseor bring that machine back to your reseller [08:46] cristian_c, should have a .... One M.2 2280 SSD, SATA interface or PCIe Gen3 x4 interface [08:47] oerheks, going to.. just backing up data. what data i can.. i lost a lot of data. [08:47] it seems as if seagate it's external and wester digital is internal (both sata hdd) [08:48] seagate is external backup storage.... wd is internal data drive. [08:48] yeah [08:48] you don't see only internal m.2 2280 sd [08:49] *ssd [08:49] there should be an ssd... holding all my OS files and is not responding.... should've waited until windows shut down properly.... *sniff sniff* [08:50] aldaek: it seems as if the ssd volume is hibernated, so it can't be mounted in ubuntu, maybe [08:50] Just me or everybody is getting Hash Sum Mismatch for trusty-updates/universe/source/Sources? [08:50] #fedora is the best OS [08:50] For a problem with a freezing system, I manually installed the 4.12.0-041200rc3-generic kernel. Now I can't get rid of the menu item in Grub, and I can't find how to purge this kernel version. Any ideas? dpkg -l doesn't seem to list it, and dpkg -r can't uninstall from the debs I re-downloaded. === mikecmpb_ is now known as mikecmpbll [08:51] cristian_c, it was blue-screening and saving files to the ssd when i hard shutdown it as it was required that i needed to go right then. [08:52] cristian_c, ie: power button for 5 secs. [08:52] aldaek: you could ask in ##windows resources about using a restore method without deleting your personal files [08:52] if fast boot is activated in windows, you can't do anything in ubuntu, I think [08:53] if i can get ssd to respond, ill just reinstall windows.. sheesh. [08:54] but im sad, there is two videos of my just over a year passed away dad. [08:54] ChristW: how have you deleted the kernel? [08:54] I haven't yet. [08:54] cristian_c: ^ [08:55] aldaek: you could use a windows PE live media, but it's not matter of this channel, sorry [08:56] you should look for in windows resources [08:56] ssd not even responding to uefi/bios though [08:56] it's dead, jim [08:57] ChristW: I don't mean in grub, I mean in the system [08:57] cristian_c: I haven't yet, I don't know how to (in the system). [08:57] dpkg doesn't seem to list it. [08:58] Hello good people! I have been tinkering with DD-WRT on my Linksys router, doing a usb hdd as Samba, minidlna, irc bouncer etc. It has been too much tinkering, so I was looking at a Nvidia Shield -> TV instead, but realized I have a sweet pc in my basement collecting dust. Would Ubuntu be a good alternative for doing a desktop pc, hdmi -> tv, doing irc bouncer, samba server, media player, web server for fun, ipcam, etc [08:58] etc? [08:58] ChristW: uninstallig the -headers and -image related packages by a package manager [08:59] ChristW: maybe, you've made a bad search with dpkg [08:59] try to make a sesrch by gui [09:00] ChristW: btw, does 4.12.0 boot? [09:00] No. [09:01] I don't know how you0ve installed it [09:01] ChristW: "dpkg -l *linux*" doesn't find it? [09:03] cristian_c: Which gui? I followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds [09:04] akik: Interesting! no packages found matching linux-headers-4.12.0-041200rc3_4.12.0-041200rc3.201705282131_all.deb [09:05] ChristW: i think you should use dpkg -l '*linux*' [09:05] akik: cristian_c: That's the deb I installed to see if it fixed my problems (it didn't :-) ). How do I get rid of it? [09:06] ChristW: so the shell doesn't try to expand [09:06] ChristW: dpkg -l | grep linux [09:06] akik: Ah, ok... Did that, but it didn't return anything with ' | grep 4.12' [09:07]
