[00:25] Problem with suspend/shutdown/hibernate: It's been maybe a month since I last rebooted my laptop (Dell XPS-15, Ubuntu 17.04, 4.10.0-22-generic). But ince I discovered that the hwclock wasn't responding (no change of system time since when I suspended hoirs ago - until updated via NTP), I decided to enter BIOS to see if the hwclock was running. It wasn't, so I set the hwclock and it's working fine now. But - [00:25] since I rebooted, I can no longer suspend or hibernate. This may be to resent dist-upgrade, perhaps. Anyone up to helping me debug this? [00:26] (disregard the typos :-) [00:30] What happens is that the network powers down, then after a few minutes the machine freezes completely and I have to hold down the power button to do a "hard shutdown". Suspend/hibernate worked just fine prior to rebooting. [00:31] what do i need for the command apt-add-repository ? [00:31] katnip: the repo url to add [00:32] nah, command not found [00:32] katnip: what command are you running? [00:32] sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/scudcloud [00:33] apt-add-repository is part of software-proporties > sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties [00:33] oerheks_, ty [00:33] it might be add-apt-repository; I don't remember which one it was [00:33] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/add-apt-repository.1.html [00:33] Could this be a tip: https://askubuntu.com/questions/917347/ubuntu-17-04-stuck-in-suspend - except I do not run Unity (only i3-wm on bare X) - so how do I disable intel proprietary CPU driver? [00:40] isene, i have no clue, maybe this troubleshooting page is any help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend [00:45] Thing is - I can't do a ' shutdown -h now ' and can't even drop down to a shell with Ctrl-Alt-F1 - the machine just freezes :-/ [00:45] were there any known ACPIO or SATA issues with the 14.04.5 kernel (4.4) and skylake board/processors? [00:46] noticing some oddities now that I've gotten my updated kickstart going. [00:47] our i5 system with 3.0 ghz and 256GB SSDs only take about 15 minutes for a preseeded kickstart to go through the full install of the OS, but the updated kernel image on the i7 skylakes takes 4x as long basically. [00:47] Can't even kill X (freeze) [00:48] isene: what hardware? [00:48] and which version are you on? [00:48] oh 17.04 on a dell xps. [00:48] Dell XPS-15, Ubuntu 17.04 updated today [00:48] sorry can't help you there, I only use LTS. [00:49] If you have any hunches or pointers, it could still be useful [00:50] if that's a laptop I have lots of ideas about APCIO issues [00:50] mess with the kernel options is my thoughts [00:50] noirq or others. [00:50] Yes, laptop (worked just fine before reboot) [00:51] Did suspend, hibernate, shutdown, X-kill etc. Now all of those freezes [00:51] Only way to turn off the laptop is to hold down the power button for a really hard shutdown [01:02] If a package gets upgraded by apt, are the replaced files stored anywhere ? [01:02] Epx998: no [01:02] buh [01:03] once you upgrade the old files will no longer be on the system. [01:04] thats disappointing configs are tossed out [01:05] if you're using apt, and the package is setup properly it will warn you for any changed configuration files [01:05] yeah this one i didnt notice i guess [01:05] should give you a decision tree on keeping your original config or overwriting it. [01:06] it should just saved versioned config files by default i tell ya [01:07] wait if i upgrade to a new version of apache, my configs dont get wiped.. hmm [01:08] I had this issue with tomcat7 actually, had to pin the package to prevent it from updating. [01:10] ok it did save my configs, to a .bak file [01:10] i derped on the timestamp, thinking it would be from the other day after the apt upgrade, instead of the 2015 they have [01:12] ok i can go home, cheers. [01:15] Should I file this bug? https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43011 it seems to be limited to Ubuntu 17.04, not related to the version of Wine [01:15] bugs.winehq.org bug 43011 in -unknown "StarCraft Brood War 1.18 significant delays in CEF Browser" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [01:31] iopq: Report it with ubuntu-bug then. [01:32] Jordan_U, where do I go to do that? [01:34] iopq: Run "ubuntu-bug wine" [01:35] it said report belongs to a package that's not installed [01:38] iopq: Looks like the package name includes a version number, so "ubuntu-bug wine1.6" or whatever version you have installed. "dpkg -l | grep wine" should tell you what wine package(es) you have installed. [01:38] iopq: Make sure that when you run that command you have Ubuntu's wine installed though, not wine from another repository. [01:46] OK - I solved it by using kernel 4.10.0-21 instead of 4.10.0-22 - now my Dell XPS 15 can shutdown, reboot, suspend, hibernat :-) [01:46] isene: nice. [01:47] So there's something very wrong with that latest kernel as it totally wrecks havoc on my dell [01:48] Jordan_U, I'm using wine staging 2.10, not sure how I would input that [01:48] it wreak's havoc. [01:49] oops. without the ' === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [02:24] Howdy Everyone === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [02:45] Is there a way to bomb out of a systemd "no limit" start job that in hung and get to a root shell and figure out what is going on?

Really annoying. I guess I need to add a cron job to mount the file system a bit later. [03:05] j #archlinux [03:06] oops [03:16] anyone have info on connecting raspberry pi zero to Ubuntu? [03:17] seems like a lot of people have the same issues.. can't ping the raspberrypi.local address.. so either the driver(s) are bad, or something is mis-configed with avahi? [03:21] Legendre: use the ip [03:36] Has anyone had any success installing colorschemes for vim in ubuntu? Base16, solarized, and hybrid do not work for me [03:46] Legendre, you can't ping .local from other machines [03:46] I have a pi. connect with the ip address and ssh. [03:47] Legendre, sorry. not a zero. I missed that part. But a ping is a ping. [04:01] is it possible to boot ubuntu from the 2nd hard disk? [04:05] dkdm: Sure, several ways . But at this time is grub installed to that second hard drive ? What system(s) are on that drive ? [04:06] there is just 2 windows mbrs [04:06] ubuntu itself is on the disk A [04:07] i want to boot it from the disk B [04:09] dkdm: Then that becomes a #windows question . But, just to make sure - pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . [04:09] i'm in windows [04:10] dkdm: Then ask the #windows people how to boot up Windows . [04:10] i can boot windows [04:10] i need to boot ubuntu [04:10] well this isn't the right place for help with the windows bootloader [04:11] if you install grub then we're in business [04:11] dkdm: and .. is ubuntu installed ? If so . boot ubuntu and pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . [04:12] i cannot boot ubuntu because grub is not installed. if you need linux, i have a Fedora live CD [04:12] so when you installed ubuntu you told it to not install a bootloader? [04:12] i need to install grub onto disk B [04:12] i removed grub to install security updates [04:12] that doesn't make any sense [04:13] dkdm: While we can install grub form a liveDVD - will require the ubuntu liveDVD to make that happen . - How did you install ubuntu ? [04:13] via DVD [04:15] dkdm: K; then boot that ibuntu liveDVD, and pstebin ' sudo parted -l ' so we know what the targets here are for installing grub . [04:15] ok === nocaberi is now known as Sauvin === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [05:10] how do i see partitions inside a file.img [05:10] can fdisk do it [05:11] azizLIGHT: you need to use another app to open it [05:13] azizLIGHT: first "sudo losetup -fv file.img", then "sudo kpartx -av /dev/loop0" [05:13] ok, thanks [05:14] azizLIGHT: actually to see the partitions you can use "sudo fdisk -l" on the loop device [05:14] thats after mount though sint it [05:15] after kpartx -a [05:15] azizLIGHT: i think you can use it after losetup [05:15] sudo fdisk -l /dev/loop0 [05:19] azizLIGHT: use kpartx if you don't see the partitions [05:20] kpartx -l seemed to tell me [05:20] two partitions [05:41] Is it possible to breakout of a restricted shell by writing to .bash_profile?

[06:52] i dont think it has that option [06:53] i looked for legacy and uefi [06:53] nothing [06:53] I removed my old driver. one i got from graphics ppa and tried a newer one. now the one I had before is completely gone [06:53] Hello.

[07:05] can a driver in the graphic ppa just go away ? [07:06] hey john on your bios setting, you have a boot option, is there no legacy boot option? [07:06] no [07:06] hmmm... strange [07:06] if yes how do i get my old driver back [07:06] boot sequence, fast boot [07:07] have you tried turning off secure boot? [07:07] that would help [07:07] i'll try that thanks [07:09] can a driver in the graphic ppa just go away ? [07:09] sure [07:10] how do I get the driver back? [07:10] you don't (probably) [07:10] the other one's don't work [07:11] ppas aren't supported here === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:40] what now my graphics card is not supported anymore. i even know which driver version i need. but it doesn't show up anymore if i install the ppa. [07:41] i need nvidia-361 [07:52] ok the only method is from the nvidia install site i guess... never done this before... how could I uninstall nvidia drivers after i run the .run file there? [07:53] Kali_Yuga: are you on kali linux [07:54] no i'm on ubuntu [07:54] then you should be able to use nvidia from the repos [07:54] ah ok with like NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.19.run --uninstall [07:54] bad idea [07:55] no I've ask million times [07:56] the only driver that wirked was 361 and another but i removed the old one to try an even newer one. of course i brake everything. but now my old driver dissapeared and i can't recover any other way [07:56] worked* [07:58] http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/103306 and thats the one I need but it has dissapeared under the driver manager [07:59] how am I supposed to get it back without doing it manually [08:00] what card do you have [08:01] geforce gt 730m it's a laptop with nvidia prime [08:01] and what version of ubuntu === CRogers_________ is now known as CRogers [08:02] recommended to me is nvidia-381 but i get a black screen... my old one was 361 [08:03] pls don't complain i'm still on 14.04 [08:03] 14.04 is still supported so that's fine [08:03] nvidia-375 is in the ubuntu repos [08:04] yes but it won't work i tried [08:04] it will work, but you might have messed stuff up with the ppa and whatnot [08:05] no ppa deleted and they all dissapeared again [08:05] i tried 340 (works but not good) 370,375,378,381 all black screen [08:06] 381 isn't even in the repos [08:06] 361 worked before i don't know i shouldn't have removed it [08:07] that was with the ppa enabled [08:08] So the only way i see to recover is either a manual install of nvidia-361 or some unofficial ppa that has it [08:09] what are the disadvantages of installing it manually [08:09] ? [08:10] Kali_Yuga: you'll break things more [08:10] why would i brake thinngs more? [08:11] but i need it [08:12] Kali_Yuga: then go for it, you're not supported with that in here though [08:12] I can open up tty and things choose the .run file and run it with --uninstall option if it doesn't work [08:15] I have to risk it or my graphics card won't work properly === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:52] Kernel 4.10.0-22 makes my hw freeze, but 4.10.0-21 works. When booting I get the usual choice of booting with the most recent kernel (the -22) and the previous (the -21). When I upgrade the system and a new kernel comezs out, I will have a choice of the latest and then -22 as the new "previous" kernel. I want to make sure I retain -21 as a choice in case the next kernel has the same bug as -22. How do I make [08:52] sure the system doesn't lose the -21 on upgrade? [08:57] isene: Afaik, when you install the actual version yourself, instead of having the package resolve to the latest version, it is flagged as manually installed, and should be retained. [09:06] I've been having an issue for weeks that I've been trying to figure out to not avail. When I'm using sudo apt-get update I'm getting the error: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/selmf/xUbuntu_16.04 Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3F3411BE43F8BC1F [09:06] I've tried using the command to manually get the keys and I've also tried y-ppa-manager but nothing is helping [09:07] Can anyone help me out please? [09:15] Hello, when using fdisk i'm trying to set a partition type to HPFS/NTFS/exFAT, however I cannot see this type in the list when pressing "L"... any ideas why? [09:17] full list i have available is only: https://pastebin.com/FsdkqVgF [09:26] Conino_: you can probably use "microsoft basic data" [09:28] yes you're right, thank you [09:32] any idea how to debug the following HDMI audio issue: audio *doesn't* work at boot but *does* work if the computer has gone into a sleep state and been awoken (and then stops working again if I momentarily switch to a usb headset and then back) [09:33] Ben64: I can't install it manually anyway it errors out and says I can't even after I added noveau to blacklist and stopped lightdm... how can I get a working graphics card again [09:38] my nvidia driver just dissapeared from the drivers list and I don't know how to get it back aaaa [09:40] Kali_Yuga: did you try to boot with kernel parameter nomodeset? [09:40] ? [09:40] !nomodeset [09:40] 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 [09:41] <_28Kb> Can I find some docs explaining how to create users and groups and how to assign them to apps and actual users along with modesetting? I'm stuck at some vfat usb samba share, but I'd like to know how to manipulate users (even root) in general. [09:42] akik: No but I know hwich nivid driver works and it's not available anymore [09:42] which nvidia driver works but* it's not available anymore [09:43] Kali_Yuga: you mentioned black screen and that kernel parameter sometimes works for that problem [09:43] idk... i just want my driver back very annoying [09:44] Kali_Yuga, if it is not available for automated install, why not go to Nvidia website, download needed driver installer and install it manually? I am pretty sure that you can find driver for your card there. However after each kernel update you will need to re-run installer script. [09:44] it's nvidia-361 i need and now unable to locate [09:44] Kali_Yuga: so add that kernel parameter and boot your machine [09:46] I can't install manually i tried installer errors out cuz of something. i did everything even closed lightdm and added stuff to sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [09:46] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [09:46] dammit [09:46] anyone in here experienced that when using usb-dvd drive in ubuntu and you switch the discs then when you copy from disc no2 you get an i/o error because it seems like ubuntu have still cached disc no1 ? [09:47] akik: I would rather just go back to what worked before. i shouldn't have changed anything in the first place [09:48] Kali_Yuga: look into /var/cache/apt/archives if the packages are saved there [09:48] the driver was purged [09:50] Kali_Yuga: ubuntu 14.04? [09:50] i just need nvidia 361 in my drivers list again somehow. i don't know why it was removed anyway. [09:50] yes [09:52] Hi, anyone know if it's possible to prevent Linux from reassigning drive IDs? My main boot drive is an SSD, and was always /dev/sda, however since replacing one of the disks in my RAID, it's now sdb, and my external USB drive is sda! This is a bit annoying as my backup script expects the USB drive to be /dev/sdg as it always has been before. [09:52] Hey folks [09:53] I could update the backup script (it mounts the drive, does a backup then umounts) but I'm worried it'll change again randomly [09:53] Smashcat: check /etc/fstab [09:53] Smashcat: also /etc/default/grub [09:53] Apachez: Yeah, that's never changed, but it mounts the SSD (boot drive) via UUID [09:53] i used ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [09:55] nvidia-361 is not available anymore [09:56] I guess I can add a script to check the size of each disk using lsblk, as I know the backup USB drives are all 3.7T, and my RAID disks are 2.7T, and SSD is much smaller. So then it won't matter if linux changes the devices around after a reboot. [09:58] Kali_Yuga: here's the graphics-drivers-ppa dir but it references 12.04: http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-361/ [10:02] I'm downloading the .deb but is it any save to install it this way? [10:03] Done it :) lsblk | grep '3.7T' | grep 'disk' | awk '{print "mount /dev/" $1 "1 /home/usb"}' | /bin/sh [10:05] and if i try how do i remove with also just with apt-get remove nvidia* ? [10:07] Isn't there just a standalone installer for the nvidia drivers? [10:07] I used that for the CUDA drivers for my headless server. [10:08] (which has nvidia cards) [10:11] Kali_Yuga: if you're concerned about the right way, use the defined repositories [10:11] Kali_Yuga: i didn't see you write that you tried nomodeset === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [10:25] are there no maintainer for casper? [10:38] akik: Thank you man! you saved my life. that deb file worked. i just needed to install all those .deb files + nvidia-prime & nvidia-settings. [10:39] Kali_Yuga: nice. you might want to pin the packages at that version now [10:41] Kali_Yuga: echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections" (replace package with each of the package names) [10:41] i have no clue how and what you mean :D [10:41] Kali_Yuga: so that those packages will not be updated any more [10:42] Kali_Yuga: echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections (replace package with each of the package names) [10:43] probably to much : dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 1: package [10:43] dpkg: warning: found unknown packages; this might mean the available database [10:43] is outdated, and needs to be updated through a frontend method [10:44] Kali_Yuga: you need to replace the "package" with the package name [10:45] akik: just the driver.deb? [10:45] Kali_Yuga: try "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" [10:45] Kali_Yuga: in that output the second column is the package name [10:49] ok i'm to dumb where does the driver name needs to be placed like this? echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections NVIDIA binary driver - version 361.45.18 no clue [10:49] Kali_Yuga: echo "nvidia-361 hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections [10:50] ah [10:50] Kali_Yuga: and do that for all those debs you installed manually [10:50] Kali_Yuga: what is the computer model you're using? how old? [10:52] like this a.e echo "libcuda1-361 hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections for the next package [10:52] Kali_Yuga: yes [10:53] the last one won't work echo "libopencl1-361 hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections [10:54] Kali_Yuga: if you run now "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" again, you should see a "h" at the beginning of the line [10:55] 'hi' instead of 'ii' ? [10:55] yes [10:57] just a question. how would I reverse this? back to ii... [10:58] Kali_Yuga: i think it was echo "package install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections [10:58] Kali_Yuga: there seems to be an easier way to do it with apt-mark [11:00] Kali_Yuga: sudo apt-mark hold package and sudo apt-mark unhold package [11:02] yes that is definitely easier [11:03] got an medion p7818 bought around 2013 [11:04] not the best for linux [11:10] Howdy Everyone [11:55] Hi I can ping server ip, redirect-gateway enabled in client, ip forwarding enabled, nat enabled, clients in different networks and this is my "configurations" https://gist.github.com/fccpt/d344c05d4d625da69f562ac5b4d0ac65 and results ISSUE: I can't surf the web when connected to VPN and can't access most of resources of webserver [11:56] not sure if I have a firewall issue or some bad configuration on openvpn server/client...

(make sure to have a space) [12:09] space [12:34] jink: Sorry for the afk - the version I am using is not manually installed, it's the previous auto-installed kernel version that I am now using... And I want to tell Ubuntu "please do not remove the 4.10.0-21 kernel" when the system installs 4.10.0-23 some time in the near future. [12:43] Hi. MATE is not booting properly. "Kubuntu" just hangs. What should I do so I can log in? Reset the graphics driver? It also suggets that the nvidia driver is not linked. the .so file or something. I can't exactly remember what it says. [12:45] hey, I am having issues with ubuntu 17.04. the swapfile.swap service delays my boot for over a minute. systemctl status: paste.ubuntu.com/24872211 [12:46] Stuck in a tty [12:46] or else I'd google it [12:48] hello. [12:48] lesik: you could try to initialize the /swapfile again [12:48] Is there an internet browser that is functional? [12:48] (for the terminal) [12:48] lesik: sudo mkswap /swapfile if it's not in use [12:49] I have a box running ubuntu 16.04 (2 cores). and I have haproxy -> followed by nginx . Now there is request queue buildup between the haproxy and nginx because some of the api [12:49] 's respond slowly [12:49] NoCode: elinks is one [12:49] how do I figure out how to solve this issue. As in how not to lead to buildup of request queue [12:50] lesik, swapfile or swap partition, if it's a partition make sure it's entered as such in /etc/fstab [12:51] isene: apt-get install lalalala-4.10.0-21 should flag it manually installed, instead of "automatically required". [12:51] BluesKaj: 17.04 and up uses swap files instead of partitions AFAIK [12:52] lesik, I'm on 17.10 and I use a swap partition ..swap partitions are still default unless you choosre not use one [12:56] akik: thanks, that fixed the issue, but boot is still delayed due to waiting for dev-mapper-cryptswap: paste.ubuntu.com/24872252 [12:57] BluesKaj: did you do a clean 17.10 install or upgrade from a previous version? [12:57] I honestly don't quite remember whether I was asked during install if I want partition or file [12:58] lesik: are you using an encrypted swap? [12:59] akik: apparently [12:59] lesik: you don't know? [13:00] akik: I don't remember as I haven't used that install for a while. but I do remember that I didn't manually set it up. if it was a checkbox that set it up automatically, I might have clicked it. [13:00] but I guess it wouldn't wait for /dev/mapper/cryptswap if I didn't [13:00] so I would say yes [13:01] lesik: not sure 100% but if you have /etc/crypttab with swap in the last column, it will be re-initializied automatically, maybe causing this problem [13:02] jink: Excellent. Just what I was looking for ("linux-image-4.10.0-21-generic set to manually installed.") [13:02] Thanks [13:03] akik: paste.ubuntu.com/24872272 [13:03] lesik: i meant /etc/crypttab [13:03] akik: both is in the paste [13:04] isene: you can also use apt-mark to control that, see the man page [13:04] lesik: ah ok. are you using /dev/urandom as the luks key to open it? :) === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [13:05] akik: I take it as a rethorical question? :) [13:05] lesik: i'm just not sure why you put it there [13:05] I did not, I swear [13:05] I think on first login I was presented with a prompt that offered to encrypt swap [13:06] maybe it is ok, that it's always initialized [13:06] ji just find it weird to use urandom there [13:06] lesik a clean install, but I always have a swap , and nowhere was I prompted to create a swapfile in place of a partition [13:07] BluesKaj: "For new installs, a swap file will be used instead of a swap partition." [13:07] source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes [13:07] lesik: actually you have both /swapfile AND /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 [13:07] yes [13:08] I'm confused by this setup [13:08] first time using ecryptfs instead of dm-crypt and first time using a swapfile instead of a partition [13:09] lesik, ok , that's odd in my view, no explanation provided [13:09] lesik: what do you see in /proc/swaps now? [13:10] /swapfile, type file, used 0 [13:10] ducasse: ' apt-mark manual linux-image-4.10.0-21-generic ' would do the same as ' apt-get install linux-image-4.10.0-21-generic ' in this case, then? [13:11] Reinstalled nVidia driver. Seemed to work I guess. Thank the gords startx worked in a different tty. [13:12] lesik: i use a static keyfile to open my encrypted swap device so i don't know how your setup works [13:12] akik: me neither, as I just got what the installer gave me :( [13:13] I'm used to configuring it by myself, and it's my first time using *buntu [13:14] NoCode: sounds like you might have had a kernel upgrade and the nvidia blobs didnt get built by dkms [13:14] NoCode: but if everything is working now \o/ [13:15] hateball, Yes, it booted promptly, so I think it is working properly [13:15] I purged all the nvidia stuff beforehand [13:16] lesik: "For swap encryption, /dev/urandom or the hardware device /dev/hw_random can be used as the password file; using /dev/random may prevent boot completion if the system does not have enough entropy to generate a truly random encryption key." https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/crypttab.html [13:16] akik: OK, that's good to know [13:17] but why does it still fail? [13:18] lesik: sorry i don't know. could it overwrite the luks header? [13:19] WARNING: Using the swap option will destroy the contents of the named partition during every boot, so make sure the underlying block device is specified correctly. [13:19] Seems I still have an error with nvidia though, "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link" "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link" [13:20] weird [13:20] NoCode: i get those same messages but it seems not to be a problem [13:20] What's the right way to image a partition these days (on an ssd)? Trying to make a backup of the disk before doing a resize / windows install (as the NUC HDMI firmware updater is windows-only) [13:21] https://askubuntu.com/questions/900285/libegl-so-1-is-not-a-symbolic-link [13:21] would previously do a "dd if=/dev/sd#" ... but now I have a /dev/nvme0, /dev/nvme0n1, /dev/nvme0n1p1 (p2, p3). Which is any of those should I image or is there a better way to create a full disk backup these days? [13:21] (currently booted into a live cd) [13:22] Guess I'll link, and wait until the drivers get updated again for it to break again. [13:22] Dave114: if you do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1" does it list those partitions? [13:22] isene: That's it. :) [13:23] akik, yup. Is the n1 the first device with e0 being something or other else? [13:23] isene: I hardly ever do this, so I'm just winging it, but glad to be of service. :P [13:23] Dave114: i have never owned a nvme device but it seems to be addressed the same way as /dev/sda [13:23] Thanks for helping me learn [13:23] just want to be sure that I don't need to preserve higher-level information. e.g. is there anything in /dev/nvme0 that needs to be preserved? [13:23] np [13:24]
