[00:43] Jordan_U: would this solve my UEFI issues w/ regards to installing Ubuntu to a USB stick? [00:43] https://askubuntu.com/questions/559007/is-it-still-possible-to-install-ubuntu-to-an-external-harddrive-with-uefi [00:45] dual boot or [00:54] Dreaman: I am teaching a geology class and want to provide my students bootable USB Sticks that they can each put in their computer and boot from so we are all using the same platform (ubuntu 16.04). I bought 5x SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 Flash Disks. I put USB-Flash#1 in my PC and install Ubuntu. Reboot to USB-Flash#1 and everything is great. I then install USB-Flash#2 in my PC. Reboot to USB-Flash#2 and everything is great. B [00:54] — I put USB-Flash#1 back into my PC and it fails to boot? It will only boot the last USB-Flash disk which I install too :( [00:55] In other words — I am not trying to install Ubuntu to my internal hardisk at all. I am trying to install Ubuntu directly to a 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive. [01:17] So does anyone know how ubuntu handles the installation of grub or EFI boot points if choosing USB as destination? [01:24] sierradump: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:28] kenrin: I found that earlier but lost confidence in the current validity due to. “METHOD 1” referencing Hardy Heron (8.04)…. Seems kind of antiquated? === JeremyD is now known as SleePy [01:28] Fixing your bootloader so it is on the usb and not your hdd isn't antiquated [01:29] I think thats what I am trying to figure out? [01:30] And appologize if I am not immediately following how to achieve that — but appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. [01:31] You have to fix the menu so it isn't looking for /dev/sdx like it says [01:32] sierradump: alternately, mkusb ? See: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073&page=69 . [01:33] Just so I understand what is currently happening…. When I do this the way it doesn’t work… I am Install ubuntu directly to USB 3.0 and ubuntu installer is deciding for me to put my bootloader in my computer system EFI instead of putting it on the USB stick (because presumably ubiquity doesn’t know I am installing to a removable media) [01:33] The bootloader is probably still on your usb, but it is trying to boot to a non-existent drive [01:34] usb will get different dev paths each insert [01:34] Might want to use mkusb like bashing-om said if you feel uncomfortable editing the grub to fix that [01:36] I’m comfortable modifying grub to fix… I just want to understand how all this works so I know what I am doing and not just following a guide haha. I really appreciate the help in here…. [01:37] Well the guide tells exactly what to do. Even if it is a bit old. [01:38] sierradump: Then for you : http://blog.cyphermox.net/2017/05/an-overview-of-uefi-secure-boot-on.html ( Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ) [01:38] kenrin: thank you! Now I am trying to decide which “method” in the guide is the best? [01:38] Bashing-om: thank you! [01:39] sierradump: Help is what we do .. some more than others .. UEFI is out of my depth :) [01:40] that’s a littlem ore in depth than I was looking for too. haha. I’m looking for teh 10,000ft “generalistic” here is what is happening… Not necessarily why or the intricacies. [01:40] I prefer the syslinux method so you can have multiple OS's on one usb, but probably not the best for your use case [01:41] I miss the old days of just like burn .iso to USB and everything works haha. [01:41] You could do that if you didn't want persistence. It would just be a livecd [01:41] have them save all their work to a ftp or something, heh [01:42] ironically, burn .iso to USB does actually boot on every system I have… I am trying to get that desired outcome after INSTALLING to the usb. haha. But with everyones help here, I understand what I have to do is move the bootloader and pointer to the USB. Now I just need to figure out the best “method” for that. [01:43] I did see a syslinux option mentioned/referenced earlier… It was a tool for creating multiboot usb. [02:07] LOL still going on sierra [02:08] did u try yumi? === t is now known as Guest45292 [02:17] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24828603/ [02:17] where can i give a pull request for a package?

You can download and install it manually at http://xdman.sourceforge.net/#downloads or do it by PPA as shown at http://www.noobslab.com/2016/12/xtreme-download-manager-2016-available.html [03:46] genii, right. does it support ftp/sftp?

[03:48] i'll give it a try [03:49] pokmo: The best feature is the segmenting, you can usually get it up to 5 going at a time [03:52] could use aria2 [03:52] in the repos [04:29] That better? [04:31] Maybe about a month ago I got a new Nvidia 710 or something to replace my ancient graphics card. Once I started using it, my computer kept crashing and Blender still didnt have CUDA so I checked my drivers and I was still using the neuvaeu or whatever its called. So I changed it to the Nvidia drivers and then my screen res got changed to 1024x764 and my 2nd monitor got disconnected, so I went back to the neuvau drivers. A month later I was fed up [04:31] with the crashes so I randomly tried the Nvid driver again and it worked. No idea why. Now this morning I turn on my PC and its back to the low res, and even if I change it to the neuvau driver it still doesnt go back. I made the mistake of doing sudo startx or whatever but that got resolved and I am back to this problem. Help would be nice :) [04:34] GreenDimond: Any hints in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file as to what is not going on ? [04:34] iirc I checked and I have no Xorg.0.log [04:35] but I can look again [04:36] edit: I DO have it but I dont think it helped... will look again... [04:36] what should I be looking for? [04:37] Anyone here know how to get more information than just "bus error (core dumped)" when trying to start Chrome? [04:38] GreenDimond: errors and failures . [04:38] Bashing-om: I found a (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) but it has been working for the last week so I dont know if this is useful [04:39] GreenDimond: Pastebin the file and I have a read ; ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit ' . [04:39] put that in the terminal? [04:40] oh cool :o [04:40] GreenDimond: Yeah , if ya use pastebin will have to install the tool . [04:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24829689/ Hopefully there's no personal info in there :P [04:41] looks like just my name [04:41] thats good [04:41] GreenDimond: GreenDimond Nope, nothin there of that kind of nature :) [04:41] thought so its not like its my home folder or anything :] [04:42] I should set my client to accept 'GD' for notify :P [04:42] GreenDimond: "quiet splash nomodeset " - nomodeset - defeats kernel mode setting . how are you setting this parameter ? [04:42] that was a failed attempt to fix it [04:43] I can give you a link [04:44] Bashing-om: This is the thing I followed https://askubuntu.com/questions/46145/resolution-stuck-at-1024x768 [04:44] though it didnt help [04:44] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24829703/ simple [04:45] :) [04:45] ? [04:46] Nice. [04:46] I have an 8-core ;) [04:47] GreenDimond: While O look at the askubuntu post . pastebin ' lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga " and we verify the correct driver (375) is installed , [04:47] why use 16.04 [04:48] Bashing-om: are you the only one "on duty" here tonite? [04:48] mitchelwb: Well, perhaps I am the only one that arose to the bait ?? [04:49] I dont think I did that cmd right [04:49] GreenDimond: We gots to get rid of that grub edit . How are your editing skills ? [04:49] fair enough. I just didn't want to interrupt. [04:49] wouldn't it be lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga | pastebinit ? Or am I just doing something wrong xD [04:50] "Editing skills" is a vague term [04:50] mitchelwb: Just ask the qustion on your mind .. see what the response is :) [04:50] I can easily get rid of what I added (I got it there, didn't I? ;) [04:50] I did. :) [04:51] having trouble with Chrome. It won't start and all I can get is a "bus error (core dumped)" message [04:51] GreenDimond: Well, in a manner of speaking you did .. but the udit is the result of running the script . [04:51] Bashing-om here is the lspci result http://paste.ubuntu.com/24829749/ [04:53] blarg... I don't remember what GRUB_GFXMODE=$resolution used to be... [04:54] Bashing-om: do you want me to undo the stuff I did in initramfs-tools? [04:54] or just in grub? [04:57] GreenDimond: onfirmed that the 375 version driver is caoorect . now to make all right, I would expect that if you were to edit /etc/default/grub file and remove 'nomodeset" . and then run ' sudo update-grub ' when you reboot all will be fine . [04:57] I got rid of the nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option='$resolution',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap [04:57] is that correct, Bashing-om? [04:58] or should I leave the ideo=uvesafb:mode_option='$resolution',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap even though that wasnt there before [04:58] *video [05:06] GreenDimond: Pastenin the file .. let me see what we are working with. please .

[05:13] http://imgur.com/a/OcywS 8k GreenDimond my i7 [05:13] :) [05:14] 2 cores 2 virtual and ............. [05:14] Do the cores matter to see 8k? [05:14] GreenDimond: Make the file so - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" - and - #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 - . dave it and run ' sudo update-grub ' . Then we will look at /etc/initramfs-tools/modules . [05:14] I was having grub issues (i think). I have a dual boot machine that would not boot ubuntu anymore. I ran boot-repair from livecd and now my options boot menu does not apear. It boots straight into ubuntu. So i thought maybe it just quickly booted to ubuntu. I went into grub customizer to try to switch order and windows partition does not appear. The partition is present though. Any ideas? Should I just run boot-repair again? [05:15] Dreaman: keep it ubuntu related plz [05:15] windows partition is detected by gparted but not by grub-customizer. [05:16] Bashing-om: Done. [05:17] any ideas? [05:17] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24829864/ lotuspsychje ok boss [05:18] :) [05:18] AMATIORS [05:18] GreenDimond: Next check : ' cat /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ' in a pastebin . [05:19] Bashing-om: I realize I am stupid. I never did run that script, I read incorrectly and added those things the guy said to REMOVE. So obviously with them NOT there the res is still messed up. Here is cat result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24829876/ [05:20] So assuming I remove the stuff I added, I should still be at square one :( [05:21] Bashing-om: So should I just remove all the stuff I added? [05:21] GreenDimond: K. so remove " uvesafb mode_option=$resolution mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap " . We get things back to defaults - then we see what we have and where to go from there . [05:22] Bashing-om: sudo update-grub? [05:22] or no [05:23] GreenDimond: Yeah . do - ' sudo update-grub ' // pending is to update the ramfs . [05:24] Bashing-om: Done [05:24] I was having grub issues (i think). I have a dual boot machine that would not boot ubuntu anymore. I ran boot-repair from livecd and now my options boot menu does not apear. It boots straight into ubuntu. So i thought maybe it just quickly booted to ubuntu. I went into grub customizer to try to switch order and windows partition does not appear. The partition is present though. Any ideas? Should I just run boot-repair again? [05:25] GreenDimond: And did you make up and edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash ? [05:25] Bashing-om: Nope. [05:25] Luckily :) [05:26] sudo update-grub [05:26] that did it [05:26] thanks anyways [05:27] GreenDimond: No biggy . no step for a stepper :) .. ok cleanup in snall steps . 1) run ' sudo apt install dkms ' just to make sure it exists . [05:28] It's there [05:28] Bashing-om: (Done) [05:29] GreenDimond: 2) ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' . if ya get errors -- tell me . [05:29] Bashing-om: Done. No errors. Just new line. [05:30] GreenDimond: Great ! and now 3) ' sudo update-initramfs -u ' . [05:31] Bashing-om: Done. [05:31] GreenDimond: OK. reboot and let's see what we have . [05:32] Okay (brb). [05:38] seee black monitor not blue like win:))))) [05:39] Bashin-om: Still not fixed :/ [05:39] *Bashing-om [05:41] GreenDimond: Ok. so what is not "fixed" ? we got a depreciated file messing with it ? what results ' ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' ? [05:41] "Not fixed" = Screen res still not right [05:41] Bashing-om: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1332 Jun 10 21:10 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] GreenDimond: There be our culprit . with dkms that file in your use case is not needed . remove it . and how about ' ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ' ? [05:44] Bashing-om: ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d': No such file or directory which file do I remove? [05:46] GreenDimond: K . not havong xorg.conf.d is a good thing on our case . we want to rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf . dkms == dynamic kernel mode setting - the kernel does all the discovery and settings . [05:47] alright removing xorg.conf... [05:47] ubuntu not start [05:47] Bashing-om: rm backup too? [05:48] GreenDimond: I would . as it serves no purpose and takes up disk space . [05:49] ( but does not hurt to leave it as it is not parsed ) [05:49] Bashing-om: Too late :P [05:49] (Done) [05:50] GreenDimond: Anndd reboot and see what we have now . [05:50] Okay (br) [05:50] *(brb) [05:53] Bashing-om: Res still messed up :( [05:55] GreenDimond: Let's see what X thinks now / pastebin the new ' /var/log/Xorg.0.log ' file .

But it's worth it ;D [06:18] GreenDimond: We got disk space ? pastebin ' df -h ' as the palce to start . and what release is this with a 4.4 series kernel ? [06:18] Disk space? Plenty. [06:19] Bashing-om: disk space result http://paste.ubuntu.com/24830188/ and release? Xubuntu 16.04 I think... [06:19] GreenDimond: And I must disagree on the work . I have yet to have a problem with a default install .. and I been on 'buntu since 4.06 - hardware allowing ! [06:20] I must be unlucky then :/ the amount of headaches I have gone through to fix this thing... [06:21] GreenDimond: :) .. yeah .. OK .. what is this thing we are trying to fix ? .. and pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' . [06:21] GreenDimond: re-ask your issue to the channel with all details, new volunteers might be able to help/look from different view? [06:21] by "thing" I meant this PC whenever stuff goes wrong [06:22] lotuspsychje: Nad resolution. and nvidia driver does not build IRT GreenDimond :) [06:22] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24830200/ [06:22] BAD* [06:23] GreenDimond: What I mean is what is the system we are workin with ? Del, Acer ? laptop. PC ? [06:23] PC [06:23] Want my specs? [06:25] Relevant stuff is, Desktop PC with Xubuntu 16.04 and 2 monitors (one failing to connect because of this problem). [06:26] GreenDimond: Yeag . some machines are somewhat specific to Windows :( // now a new question - why are you booting the old -45 kernel when -79 is installed ? [06:26] No idea? [06:26] I don't mess with this kind of stuff? [06:26] How do I make it NOT boot with -45? :P [06:27] GreenDimond: ubuntu version? graphics card chipset? graphics driver version? when did this start to happen? [06:27] well. We need to adress that .. as the nvidia module builds on specific kernels in use . lemme ponder a bit . [06:28] lotuspsychje: [21:29:56] because I dont know how to properly use a timestamp and I dont really want to paste all that [06:28] :P [06:28] if you dont have that I can paste it again [06:29] Alas, I must go. [06:30] I will be back Monday to try to fix this. [06:30] Bashing-om: Is there a ~tell or something you can use to give me a msg when I join next? [06:31] GreenDimond: the key to get issues solved is to re-ask once in a while to the channel [06:32] gtg now [06:33] Ty for help thus far!

[10:02] that can neither be confirmed nor closed [10:06] how to break free? connected from freebsd via ssh to ubuntu, under root did apt-get install 2 packets and it showed me a pseudo graphic window 'configuring secure boot' saying my system has uefi secure boot enabled (afaik it was disabled) and I can't neither hit ok nor break the operation via ctrl+c/ctrl+d [10:14] why does redhat has "company stock" but ubuntu doesn't [10:14] ? [10:15] because redhat is a company, unlike ubuntu [10:15] i can buy NYSE:RHT right now [10:15] damdai, canonical is the parent company. it's private. [10:15] canonical is the company that makes ubuntu? [10:15] yes [10:15] damdai: this does not belong in the ubuntu support channel [10:16] Ben64 why not [10:16] because it's not ubuntu support [10:16] !ot | damdai take it to the proper channel [10:16] damdai take it to the proper channel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:17] well i just learened that canoncial is the company that makes ubuntu , thanks to these people [10:17] so they just gave me ubuntu support [10:17] this is for technical support for the operating system ubuntu [10:17] damdai, great. now take this discussion to #ubks.untu-offtopic please. than [10:33] how do I specify current directory in unzip like unzip file.zip directory without typing the current root extraction directory [10:34] unzip file.zip [10:44] Client: HexChat 2.12.4 • OS: Ubuntu "zesty" 17.04 • CPU: AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (1000MHz) • Memory: Physical: 6.6 GiB Total (6.3 GiB Free) Swap: 2.0 GiB Total (2.0 GiB Free) • Storage: 54.7 GB / 972.4 GB (917.8 GB Free) • VGA: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mullins [Radeon R4/R5 Graphics] @ Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Ardent Technologies Inc • Uptime: 9m 50s [10:44] are md5 checksums important? [10:44] packages from official ubuntu repos are generally safe. otherwise - how paranoid are you? [10:45] Nicole: possibly? hard to tell without context for your question [10:50] Ben64: like I'm downloading a zip archive for a game [10:51] Ben64: and the download page says if you want to verify the integrity use the md5sums [10:51] Ben64: for each compressed file too so what should I be fearing [10:54] could be a not legit download i guess [10:55] Nicole: it's just a way to see if the file you end up with is the same the developers intended you to download [10:56] Nicole: it could also help with detecting transfer errors of (ususally) big files like isos and such [10:57] Nicole: if someone were to come in here and say "I'm running this ubuntu install cd and it just keeps crashing" I would recommend they check the md5 of the iso they downloaded against the proper values.. just to see if the download failed in some way === jstein_ is now known as jstein [11:19] Slart: if I check the md5 of the zip or iso I should assume the rest of the compressed files inside are also good right [11:19] Ben64: well if the zip is not legit the md5 on the website doens't make difference right unless I get the md5 from a truthful site [11:21] hello all [11:21] mysql-server 5.6 is not in pkgs on 14.04 ? [11:22] ignore that please [11:27] :O [11:38] can anyone help me with this error? http://imgur.com/a/3F9sC [12:07] do I have to download android-studio seperately ? [12:08] Yes [12:09] ok extract where ? [12:10] Hiyas all [12:11] guess the launcher will tell .. [12:11] Ask in #android-dev === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away [13:21] Anybody have any idea why Chrome is suddenly giving me a "bus error (core dumped)" and not starting? I'm 99.9% sure it had to do with a manual fsck that "fixed" files yesterday, but I can't get it running now. [13:26] What is "signal 7"? [13:38] A rather embaressing question... I'm trying to bind a python script to a command so I don't have to type the full path out all the time (so I can type 'showhosts' anywhere and it will run ~/Documents/scripts/showhosts.py)... Googling bindings isn't helping. What is this kind of thing called so I can properly research it? [13:53] how to start ubuntu grub menu or load xubuntu in terminal instead of gui [13:53] quick help please [13:54] xubuntu sorry [13:54] MiguelFuller: Not sure what you need help with [13:54] MiguelFuller: Do you wish to boot into console mode rather than graphical mode? [13:54] I don't want to service stop lightdm I want to load into shell prompt [13:54] yes [13:55] a question for you, guys [13:55] MiguelFuller: # systemctl set-default multiuser.target [13:55] MiguelFuller: # systemctl isolate multiuser.target [13:55] I'm searching for a way to use a new resolution for employing in a basic projector [13:56] Ichimusai, that's crazy [13:56] I've followed the sequence using cvt, xrandr newmode and xrandr addmode [13:56] but when I use xrandr output with the new resolution, I get: xrandr: configure crtc 0 failed [13:56] and if I read Xorg.0.log, I find: (EE) intel(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument [22] [13:57] How could I debug this failure? [13:57] Any ideas? [13:57] MiguelFuller: Why is that crazy? [13:59] Ichimusai, is like invading norther england [14:00] Anyone know what "signal 7" is? When I try to start Chrome, I get a system error dialog that says it "crashed with signal 7" [14:00] MiguelFuller: I'm sorry if that is not what you wanted you have to be more specific so we understand what you are ACTUALLY trying to do. [14:11] mitchelwb: have you already started chrome by terminal? [14:13] mitchelwb: Bus address error as I recall it. [14:19] christian_c: yes, When I do that, the terminal returns a "bus error (core dumped)" [14:21] at this point, I'd be happy if I could just completely wipe chrome and reinstall it. I've done a --reinstall, as well as a full remove and reinstall but it's still doing the same thing. [14:23] mitchelwb, df -H | grep shm [14:25] ioria: what does that do? terminal gave me back a single line: tmpfs 7.9G 160k 7.9G 1% /dev/shm [14:25] shm is in red though. [14:26] mitchelwb, it's ok.... can you paste 'df -H ' output ? [14:27] I'm actually on my backup win laptop next to the machine so I can't copy/paste. [14:28] I rebooted the machine yesterday and when I did, it went to a system screen and reported an unexpected inconsistency and wanted me to run a manual fsck on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root [14:28] mitchelwb: usb copy-paste is _a_ way [14:28] mitchelwb, that it's fixed now or what ? [14:29] the fsck "fixed" a bunch of files that all appeared to be related to chrome and I'm pretty sure that's the issue, I just have no idea what went wrong. [14:30] I can switch over and bring up irc in firefox on the machine if I need to as well. That will let me copy/paste. [14:30] ioria: no, right now, everything on my machine works EXCEPT chrome [14:31] mitchelwb, try to purge ? [14:31] how do I purge? [14:31] apt-get purge package [14:31] or apt-get remove --purge package [14:32] ok. hold please. [14:33] mitchelwb, sudo apt purge google-chrome-stable && sudo apt autoremove [14:34] while it's doing that, when I just use the file explorer and go to the path /dev/mapper the ubuntu--vg-root shows (and other files) show 0 bytes and the Type is "Link to unknown" is that right? [14:35] purge done. reinstalling now. [14:35] any specific or preferred way I should install it? [14:35] mitchelwb, ls -l /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root [14:35] lvm? encryption? [14:36] mitchelwb, you can download the .deb, or you can add the repo in sources.list [14:36] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 11 08:08 /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root -> ../dm-0 [14:36] ok [14:39] I think I originally set this machine up using 12.04 and I don't know why I would have done any encryption above or beyond what was a default installation.
