kuwer | Hello! | 00:47 |
---|---|---|
kuwer | I want to install a driver for my nvidia geforce 8400 cs video card | 00:47 |
kuwer | I am following this tutorial http://ubuntuguide.net/install-latest-nvidia-graphics-drivers-in-ubuntu-linux but it seems different | 00:48 |
kuwer | Perhaps it was donne for an older ubuntu server version | 00:48 |
kuwer | Could someone help me please? | 00:48 |
kuwer | I already downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run file from nvidia website | 00:48 |
sarnold | kuwer: that guide looks eight years old or so. it's probably fair to ignore it entirely. | 01:08 |
patdk-l2 | I always thought you just install the normal nvidia package and be done with it | 01:09 |
patdk-l2 | unless you want to do something odd, like use cuba in your applications for like bitcoin | 01:09 |
patdk-l2 | then your going have hell and be mostly on your own, cause that crap is not fun | 01:09 |
kuwer | patdk-l2: well, yes. I need Cuba, OpenCL | 01:09 |
sarnold | I don't think anyone does bitcoin mining on gpus anymore | 01:09 |
patdk-l2 | atleast I gave up on it, and it takes a lot to do that | 01:09 |
patdk-l2 | sarnold, I know a guy that just setup 12 amd video cards for it this week | 01:10 |
kuwer | I am not mining bitcoins but other coinis | 01:10 |
sarnold | patdk-l2: yikes | 01:10 |
kuwer | yeah, Bytecoin, Ethereum, well there is hundreds | 01:10 |
sarnold | this wiki page suggests 'sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' is a good starting point https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 01:11 |
sarnold | what's funny is it jumps from that right into installing nvidia-nnn -- maybe nvidia users are forced to install the new driver updates by hand? dunno.. | 01:11 |
patdk-l2 | they have to | 01:11 |
sarnold | anyway based on this wiki the first thing I'd try is "apt-get install nvidia-375" | 01:11 |
patdk-l2 | cause the ones in ubuntu don't have the cuba stuff in them | 01:12 |
patdk-l2 | get a intel phi :) | 01:12 |
kuwer | The correct driver for my video card is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102 | 01:12 |
kuwer | I could use wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/340.102/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run | 01:15 |
kuwer | chmod u+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run | 01:15 |
kuwer | ups | 01:15 |
kuwer | chmod u+x 340.102/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run | 01:16 |
kuwer | chmod u+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.102.run | 01:16 |
kuwer | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential | 01:16 |
kuwer | Is that necessary? | 01:16 |
sarnold | probably; you have to compile portions of the drivers on your system | 01:17 |
kuwer | How about https://askubuntu.com/questions/66328/how-do-i-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-from-the-run-file | 01:20 |
kuwer | Used chmod +x driver | 01:28 |
kuwer | then sudo ./driver.run | 01:28 |
kuwer | And http://imgur.com/a/Vk5iu | 01:29 |
sarnold | kuwer: pastebin the logfile? | 01:29 |
sarnold | (the pastebinit tool from the pastebinit package can make that easy) | 01:29 |
kuwer | sarnold: this is the log file | 01:29 |
sarnold | is that the WHOLE log file? or just the last few lines? | 01:30 |
kuwer | last few lines | 01:30 |
sarnold | good good :) pastebin the whole thing and then we might stand a chance of spotting the error | 01:31 |
kuwer | how can I send out from the server this line? | 01:31 |
sarnold | apt-get install pastebinit ; pastebinit /var/log/nvidia-installers.log | 01:32 |
kuwer | paste.ubuntu.com/24812224 | 01:33 |
kuwer | Perhaps this driver was not meant to server | 01:34 |
sarnold | WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 340.102 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system | 01:34 |
sarnold | are you sure that your card is supported by this driver/ I hear they are aggressive about dropping support for 'old' hardware | 01:35 |
kuwer | This is not the latest driver | 01:36 |
kuwer | I went to nvidia and check for my video card model driver | 01:36 |
kuwer | And this is the one it pointed me to | 01:36 |
kuwer | As http://imgur.com/a/vHo8c | 01:38 |
kuwer | Maybe I should Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; | 01:39 |
sarnold | I don't think that would help | 01:40 |
sarnold | kuwer: the patches on https://gist.github.com/tpruzina look promising | 01:43 |
sarnold | kuwer: from your pastebin, the actual errors are starting on lines 3588 and then in 3598 | 01:44 |
sarnold | all look like hotplug cpu related | 01:44 |
sarnold | kuwer: so try making the same changes that the patch that disables the hotplug support .. | 01:44 |
kuwer | Well, something I got to say is I am running this Ubuntu Server on a VirtualBox machine just to test. | 01:45 |
patdk-l2 | dunno how that would work | 01:46 |
kuwer | Probably I will be doing the same procedure soon on a ssd driver I am waiting | 01:46 |
kuwer | I don´t think there is path for my driver version | 01:51 |
sarnold | did you pass the pci through? | 01:52 |
kuwer | what do you mean, sorry | 01:52 |
sarnold | in order to use devices inside vms you have to use pci passthrough | 01:53 |
sarnold | I've never tried it before | 01:53 |
kuwer | Oh, not really. | 01:54 |
kuwer | Let me check that | 01:54 |
kuwer | Not sure where to set PCIE | 01:58 |
kuwer | Checking | 01:58 |
kuwer | Don´t think my BIOS has BIOS that has the IOMMU | 02:10 |

hashwagon | Hey nacc, do you have any example of a preseed copy? A file copy from USB/CDROM to the newly installed system if possible. Google isn't being useful to me. | 15:19 |
nacc | hashwagon: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt down at the advanced options | 15:24 |
nacc | hashwagon: that's how you run any old shell command | 15:25 |
nacc | mwhudson: jamespage: is it expected that there is no python-celery-sphinx? I think the new celery is loading a module from it, but there's only python3-celery-sphinx, afaict | 15:26 |
nacc | s/celery-sphinx/sphinx-celery/ | 15:26 |
tomreyn | hashwagon: a more complex example: https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/openstack-tools/blob/master/etc/ubuntu-preseed.cfg#L489 | 15:26 |
nacc | tomreyn: nice, thanks! | 15:27 |
tomreyn | and here you got a copy https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-installer/2007-December/000130.html | 15:27 |
tomreyn | oops this one doesn't work, sorry | 15:28 |
tomreyn | this one uses 'cp' an is said to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization/PreseedExamples | 15:31 |
jamespage | nacc: hmm that's odd | 15:38 |
jamespage | I would expect both versions | 15:38 |
* jamespage looks | 15:38 | |
hashwagon | tomreyn, nacc, thanks guys. | 15:45 |
mwhudson | nacc: no idea | 15:51 |
nacc | jamespage: yeah, it's surprising to me -- i also only see python3 in debian (afaict) | 16:08 |
nacc | mwhudson: np, thanks | 16:08 |
jamespage | nacc: apparently that's right but I have no idea why there is no py2 | 16:09 |
jamespage | maybe the maintainer was being visionary! | 16:09 |
nacc | jamespage: yeah, and i think celery won't build without the py2 -- or I have to dig a bit into the internals | 16:10 |
nacc | jamespage: i'm looking to see if it's easy to add -- it seems like it's unexpected to only be py2 (and the debian side is just a trival stdeb generated thing (it seems). I wonder if it's just oversight | 16:27 |
nacc | jamespage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24816633/ it builds. I'm verifying the autopkgtest now | 16:57 |
nacc | jamespage: tests pass, and it is exactly what fails with celery (import'ing sphinx_celery) :) | 17:03 |
hashwagon | Is it normal for a 16.04 server preceed install to have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub? This prevents me from booting to a tty unless I remove quiet and splash. | 17:52 |
hashwagon | sed command to resolve that: http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/minnow/current/Ubuntu_16.04_RAID1_preseed.cfg - odd behavior though.. | 17:56 |
jerichowasahoax | I created a new apache2 vhost at a specific subdomain, and now my default vhost is being clobbered. What gives? | 18:19 |
compdoc | creator typo | 18:21 |
jerichowasahoax | The vhost in question: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/aZwN2OyZqjb3ee74YiZQ/ | 18:21 |
jerichowasahoax | Note there are no wildcards in that vhost, and yet it's answering to ALL requests, not just ones directed at mantis.lavacano.net | 18:22 |
jerichowasahoax | I've currently disabled that site configuration. | 18:22 |
jerichowasahoax | Google says something about a NameVirtualHost directive but it doesn't appear to actually do anything | 18:23 |
sarnold | "If multiple virtual hosts contain the best matching IP address and port, the server selects from these virtual hosts the best match based on the requested hostname. If no matching name-based virtual host is found, then the first listed virtual host that matched the IP address will be used. As a consequence, the first listed virtual host for a given IP address and port combination is the default virtual host for that IP and port combi | 18:25 |
sarnold | https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#virtualhost | 18:25 |
sarnold | that's my guess.. | 18:25 |
jerichowasahoax | sarnold: Assuming 000-default.conf is parsed before 100-mantis.conf, then *:80 should come first and take priority, no? | 18:26 |
sarnold | https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/ suggests using apachectl -S to dump the parsed configuration as a useful troubleshooting tip | 18:26 |
sarnold | jerichowasahoax: I'd hope so :) | 18:26 |
tomreyn | jerichowasahoax: instead of <VirtualHost mantis.lavacano.net:80> you'd usually use <VirtualHost 149.56.132.23:80> | 18:29 |
tomreyn | using hostnames there is "not recommended" | 18:29 |
tomreyn | https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#virtualhost | 18:29 |
jerichowasahoax | tomreyn: But that IP address points to a couple different FQDNs, as I'm sure you noticed while you were checking my DNS records | 18:30 |
tomreyn | jerichowasahoax: if you mean the alias, there's only one | 18:30 |
tomreyn | mantis.lavacano.net is an alias for andariel.lavacano.net. | 18:30 |
jerichowasahoax | tomreyn: Not the CNAME, the IP itself | 18:30 |
jerichowasahoax | tomaw: and andariel.lavacano.net when contacted directly should be serving different content | 18:31 |
jerichowasahoax | er | 18:31 |
tomreyn | oh your mean PTR records? | 18:31 |
jerichowasahoax | tomreyn: see above | 18:31 |
tomreyn | that's what ServerName is for | 18:31 |
tomreyn | see the example in the docs i pointed to | 18:32 |
jerichowasahoax | ServerName isn't working either | 18:32 |
tomreyn | VirtualHost uses an ip address, ServerName an FQDN | 18:32 |
jerichowasahoax | or now it is | 18:32 |
* jerichowasahoax makes a mental note: any virtualhost that isn't <VirtualHost *:80> is practically invalid | 18:33 | |
tomreyn | if thisis a general statement then i'd disagree | 18:34 |
jerichowasahoax | i know the technical explanation is "explicitly defined addresses take priority over wildcards" | 18:34 |
jerichowasahoax | which is why "mantis.lavacano.net" was clobbering things | 18:34 |
jerichowasahoax | but if I don't overgeneralize I'll just keep screwing that up over and over and over | 18:34 |
tomreyn | VirtualHost defines the ip address + port to service this ServerName FQDN on. | 18:35 |
jerichowasahoax | tomreyn: apachectl -S was putting "149.56.132.23:80" over "*:80" | 18:35 |
sarnold | ahh because it's more specific.. | 18:35 |
jerichowasahoax | sarnold: yes | 18:35 |
sarnold | sigh stupid complicated mess | 18:35 |
jerichowasahoax | to be fair, the google results and docs weren't entirely clear on exactly what i was trying to put where | 18:36 |
jerichowasahoax | all they really said was "VirtualHost some.domain.com" and "VirtualHost some.domain2.com" | 18:36 |
jerichowasahoax | it didn't occur to me that they were assuming those names had different addresses | 18:37 |
SuperLag | Do you folks have any recommendations to *automatically* do some kernel cleanup, so /boot doesn't keeep filling up? | 19:39 |
SuperLag | it'd be nice to only keep 2-3 kernels... | 19:39 |
compdoc | how about: sudo apt autoremove | 19:39 |
sarnold | SuperLag: do you have /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal on your system? it should auto-generate a list of packages to keep in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels that works with /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove | 19:41 |
SuperLag | sarnold: I wasn't aware of that. I'll investigate. | 19:42 |
SuperLag | thank you, btw! | 19:42 |
