J3553Morning/Evening all. I am running btrfs under Ubuntu 14.04. Accessing some files is causing the system to completely lock up and it shows btrfs in the dmesg. Is there anywhere I might find the trace file?01:36
azizLIGHTDave_Elec: man this equalizer kicks butt01:38
azizLIGHTlove it!!!01:39
Dave_ElecazizLIGHT: tnx, i'm also using it01:39

azizLIGHTsorry01:50
glitsj16J3553: you might find more help in #btrfs for your issue01:52
Jordan_UJ3553: Btrfs on such an old release is a questionable decision. What kernel are you running?01:54
J3553glitsj16: thanks, no-one awake there it seems :(02:04
J3553Jordan_U: its an older kernel, 3.18.10-031810. I have some problem with 4.2/4.4 with kernel panics and havent had time to look into that. System has been working on this kernel without any btrfs crash for a long time now.02:07
J3553Jordan_U: strangely, I tried a Manjaro Live DVD due to its later kernel and btrfs tools (4.10) and also had a crash using rsync. I booted back into Ubuntu so I can try to capture the trace.02:08

ubottuthewillo: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

iopqthewillo yes, I have AMDPRO installed for vulkan06:18
thewilloiopq, I would try uninstalling them and using the default opensource drivers06:19
thewilloit's required for a variety of things with nvidia, I don't know ATI, but i assume similar06:19
iopqthewillo then I won't have vulkan support, so games will run slowly06:19
thewillowell, I don't know then...06:20
thewilloyou could edit your x configuration manually to use the intel card before you reboot into BIOS/UEFI and then boot with the intel chip06:22

jay_is it possible to disable ufw and use iptables in ubuntu 16.04 ?09:41
akikjay_: ufw creates iptables rules09:43
jay_akik: I got it it's just a wrapper but can I disable ufw and enable iptables and what are the implciations?09:44
akikjay_: there's no ready made functionality for it. you'd need to script it yourself09:44
akiksudo ufw disable gets rid of the ufw settings09:44
jay_akik: should i use both? because I don't know nothing about ufw and translating iptables in order to fit ufw before.rules syntax seems not "easy" in particularly the NAT rules etc09:46
jay_akik so if I disable ufw service I still get iptables?09:46
akikjay_: iptables is not a service, but a command to control the netfilter09:47
akikjay_: ufw is just a friendly helper for iptables09:47
jay_akik: yes I know about netfilter, tables chains rules etc09:47
jay_the thing is if I disable ufw where should i write my rules in order to be sure that they get loaded upon reboot for example any particular script?09:48
akikjay_: that's exactly my problem too. i couldn't figure out the rules syntax for my custom iptables script to insert09:49
akikfor ubuntu, it's ufw or you do it completely yourself09:50
jay_iptables has a very similiar interface with ufw it look easy I think I've found it just need to disable service and use iptables. To save rules prior to 16.04 use: sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent 16.05 and forward09:54

mutsyHi there. I use Ubuntu with i3 and I have arc dark GTK theme installed and it works for nautilus, but not for keepassx or my notification style. It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/5qEhmGQ.png10:49
mutsyanyone has an idea why this is? Can't find any solutions on google either ;/10:50
ikoniamutsy: do those apps support style ? do they use gtk3 ?10:50
ikoniaare they even gtk based apps ?10:50
ikonia(I don't use keepassx so don't know)10:50
mutsyikonia: well they did before ;/ I use xfce4-notifyd for my notificaitons10:51
ikoniamutsy: are they now though....10:51
mutsyand the arc-dark theme has support for that10:51
mutsyidk, how can I check10:51
ikoniawhat are they built against ?10:51
ikoniamutsy: keepassx is QT10:51
ikonianot GTK10:51
ikoniahttps://www.keepassx.org/requirements10:51
mutsyah ye ofc, but what about xfce4-notifyd?10:52
ikoniaI don't know take a look10:52
mutsyI don't know how and what10:52
ikoniaas you told me it worked before, when clearly thats not true10:52
ikoniaQT will have never honoured GTK themes10:52
ikoniamutsy: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-notifyd10:53
ikoniamutsy: gtk 210:53
ikoniaI don't know if it supports later versions or is locked to gtk 310:53
ikoniasorry locked to gtk 210:53
mutsyokay well I use xfce4-notifyd-config to determine the style10:53
mutsyand with every style I get the same..10:54
ikoniamutsy: I suggest you research into what I've just told you10:54
mutsythey do have support and styles for it10:55
mutsyit just doesn't does show it in it10:55
ikoniathats not what I said10:55
ikoniait does support styles10:55
ikoniaI'm aware of this, however it is a GTK2 app - is it locked to GTK2, or does it support GTK3 (where your styles are being used)10:56

ZtaI want a small home server to serve docker containers. I want the server to boot off USB, mount a RAID array for storage -- preferably ALL storage is on the RAID, the USB ideally being read-only.  Can I accomplish this with boot2docker?  Is there a better solution?12:24
uruk7hello I need convert a video ogv to mp4 , I searched in google with ffmpeg and mencoder but always output error can you help me if is posible in CLI?12:25
ppfZta: since you're in an ubuntu channell, we must respond "use ubuntu!"12:25
Ztappf: ..I suppose, yes. It's just that I am, and I'm stuck in a dead end it seems =)12:27
ppfwhat's the issue?12:32
FelishiaI can't goddamn chroot -.-12:35
swenssonTrying to setup ssh-keys, but Im stuck at trying to copy the id from the client that should connect, /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found ? :O12:45
Ztappf: Mine? I... I just thought of something.  Perhaps I should mount my raid as /var during boot. Would that make sense? =)13:08
ppfZta: why does it matter what you mount it as?13:13
ZtaIt's a long story =) And I'm usually being too idealistic and over-engineering this. I basically want to make a read-only USB stick that boots Ubuntu and starts sshd and dockerd.  It should mount my data-drive and this this for persistence.  I'd like it to be so generic, that if my server explodes, I can buy a new, dd a new USB stick, restore my data from a backup and be up and running again with close to zero configuration.13:20
ZtaI've fabricated the iso for the USB by installing ubuntu server in QEMU and mounting a file for hdd.  This nicely in general. But the real problem I'm facing right now, is that when I installed the docker package, docker created /var/docker and installed some stuff in there upon startup. But I don't want this here on my boot iso; it should be on my data drive, mounted on /data.13:24
ZtaSo there's a bootstrapping issue here, which is pretty annoying so I'm looking towards other solutions.13:24
migmolrodhi. can you recommend me a free backup software? i'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Server with Gnome on top of it (installed through 'tasksel')13:25
migmolrodi've tried the default ubuntu backup option but seems a bit lacking to my tasting13:25
Ztaboot2docker looks nice. It basically just boots a tiny linux and starts a docker service. It can even auto-mount a file system if it's labelled "boot2linux-data" and place all data there -- but not RAID devices, unfortunately!13:26
ZtaBut with my current setup, I will have to boot the USB.  It automounts my raid. Then stop docker. Them move /var/docker to /data/var/docker. Then edit /etc/default/docker to make docker point to /data, then restart.  It's annoying =)13:28
ZtaBut now I just though of mounting my raid as /data via fstab. But I think it will result in a screwed system.  If I boot a fresh USB one day, then it will have an out-of-sync /var/lib/dpkg for instance.13:30

AshIndigoInterfaces file15:20
AshIndigoI'm using sever edition because I'm trying to setup a server mainly15:20
ikoniaAshIndigo: you know you can run a server on a desktop install15:20
ikoniaI assume as this is on wifi it's not a real server as it's on wifi, more like a home server ?15:21
AshIndigoYeah15:21
ikoniawhy not make it easy and use a desktop install15:21
ikoniayou can use the network manager desktop app and make it easiser for this sort of thing15:21
AshIndigoTrue15:23
ioriaAshIndigo, if it's a server, i'd use static ....15:27

ioriadonalsd, ii use unity15:33
donalsdikonia: Is there another way to ask the channel?15:33
oerheksdonalsd, there is no 'global menu' in gnome like unity, there is a plugin, never used it myself >>  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/global-menu-for-gnome-extension-development15:33
ikoniadonalsd: ask with out singling out individuals15:33
donalsdI am new here.15:33
tgm4883donalsd: just ask. Don't try to ping anyone15:33
BrokaToedonalsd: when you go System Settings and Appearance -> Behavior ->  do you not see an option for show menus for a window?15:34
BrokaToeshould have In the windows title bar option15:34
donalsdoerheks: My other Ubuntu installation doesn't have the menu, but have the individual menubars removed. Can't remember how I did that.15:35
donalsdBrokaToe: I can't see a System settings > Appearance.15:35
BrokaToedonalsd: Actually System/Appearance/Behavior I believe, not System settings15:36
AshIndigoioria: its empty15:36
donalsdBrokaToe: Yeah, System doesn't have one, I am sending a screenshot.15:37
ioriaAshIndigo,   wpasupplicant is installed ?15:37
Richard_CavellHello everyone. I'm currently using debian 8.6.0. I'm disappointed that it doesn't support my Radeon video card and there's no good graphical IRC client available. Is Ubuntu likely to be significantly better?  (Installing Ubuntu won't be a trivial task for me so I need to know before I commit)15:37
donalsdBrokaToe: http://imgur.com/a/xoM6r15:37
AshIndigoNope15:37
ioriaAshIndigo,   so how cn it work ?15:37
Richard_CavellAshIndigo: Are you replying to me?15:37
AshIndigoNo Richard15:38
oerheksRichard_Cavell, what radeon card? as of 16.04, open radeon works like a charm15:38
AshIndigoI need wpasupplicant?15:38
ioriayes15:38
ikoniaRichard_Cavell: there are the same graphical IRC clients in debian as in ubuntu, Debian is upstream for ubuntu15:39
MonkeyDustRichard_Cavell  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver15:39
ikoniaRichard_Cavell: it depends why you video card is not supported if ubuntu will have a positive or negative impact15:39
AshIndigoAnd if I manage to get it what do I do?15:39
ioriaAshIndigo,  maybe a desktop edition, as ikonia suggested, might fit your needs15:40
donalsdBasically the problem is, I hate the menubar on my terminal.15:40
tgm4883donalsd: your image link doesn't work15:40
oerheksdonalsd, again: there is no 'global menu' in gnome like unity15:40
AshIndigoProbably :/15:41
Richard_Cavelloerheks: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV530/M56-P [Mobility Radeon X1600] [1002:71c5]15:41
oerheksoh, x1600, that is an old card, should work with openradeon..15:42
ioriaRichard_Cavell, old card, i guess right ?15:42
Richard_Cavellioria: Yep15:42
BrokaToedonald: have you checked out gnome-tweak-tool?15:42
BrokaToeit may have an option for what you're wanting to do15:42
ioriaRichard_Cavell,  i use a similare with lxde on server 16.04, works ok15:42
donalsdtgm4883: It does work. I just checked.15:42
donalsdBrokaToe: What should I look for in the tweak tool?15:43
NvidiotIs there anyone who can help me get my broadcom wireless working on 14.04 with a 4.4 kernel? More information in this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236326815:43
ikonia4.4 kernel ?15:43
BrokaToedonalsd: not sure never used it....you would have to install it and browse through the options15:43
ikoniawhere are you getting a 4.4 kernel from 14.04 ?15:43
tgm4883donalsd: odd, doesn't work for me15:43
donalsdoerheks: Is there a way that I can just get rid of the menubar on my terminal permanently?15:44
Nvidiotikonia: installed the xenial kernel package (I need it for kerberos / ntlmv2 authentication against a windows share that works in 4.4, but not in 3.13)15:44
ikoniaNvidiot: yeah, not supported15:44
ikoniaNvidiot: putting xenial packages on trusty - unsupported15:44
oerheksdonalsd, did you take a look @  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/global-menu-for-gnome-extension-development15:45
donalsdoerheks: I can remove that by clicking Menu > (Unchecking) Show menubar15:45
donalsdBut, a permanent treatment would be great.15:45
Nvidiotikonia: I know but my wifi works correctly with the 3.13 kernel :/ I'd rather not have to reboot whenever I want to use the wifi (and then can't access the windows share)15:45
ikoniaNvidiot: ok, so you know it's not supported, so therefore, not for this channel15:46
donalsdoerheks: Yes, I guess it isn't released yet?15:47
Nvidiotikonia so where should I go with my question?15:48
ikoniaNvidiot: no idea15:48
gamesterHello. After using my Windows partition for a while, I just rebooted into Ubuntu and now the unity side panel is filled with 31 mounts and my desktop wallpaper isn't showing. The mounts are stuff like "1000", "efi", "hugepages", "mqueue", etc. Anyone have a clue?15:48
gamesterI also got a system process error message or something like that, with no more detail. It just allowed me to send the report.15:49
promilleHi guys. I just installed 17.04 64 bit. My headphones which is on the front side of the sound card (desktop computer) works fine, but Ubuntu does not list the speakers connected to the back side of the sound card. Anyone have some suggestions? All connections are aux.15:50
donalsdcan anyone tell me of a way to copy some apps stored exactly the way with all their configs to a new Ubuntu installation?15:52
donalsdLike I want to copy the entire LAMP stack from my other installation to this new one. Basically cloninh15:53
BrokaToedonalsd: I don't think there's an "easy" method for this.  It would all depend on what kind of website you're running and what services are used.  ex. php,mysql databases etc.  I would probably install the lamp stack on the new server, then move over the necessary apache configs and mysql databases to the new machine etc.15:59
oerheksmaybe this answer is any help >> https://askubuntu.com/questions/18188/how-to-move-a-lamp-setup-to-a-new-ubuntu-server16:00
donalsdBrokaToe: Got some more stuff like Composer, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana to move as well along with the stack to make my apps working.16:02
BrokaToedonalsd: Is the new server running the same version of OS installation?16:03
donalsdOr maybe if I could just copy my entire drive, without the ubuntu installation (i.e., the apps I installed along with configs) to the new one?16:03
oerheksinstall those apps, move data, done16:03
donalsdBrokaToe: Yes.16:03
donalsdoerheks: Loooot of apps, loooot of data.16:04
BrokaToeI would suggest using tar to create an archive of you entire / directory, then unpacking it over the new installation16:05
donalsdBrokaToe: Would it really work?16:05
BrokaToein theory16:06
BrokaToeI've done it before for routers I've built16:06
BrokaToeand it worked16:06
donalsdIf it does, i.e., simply clones everything and puts things in the right places, then would be great.16:06
donalsdBrokaToe: I have to remove the existing / then, I guess?16:07
BrokaToeyou would tar -cpzf backup.tar.gz --exclude=/backup.tar.gz --one-file-system /16:07
donalsdThat would wipe the entire thing, I guess?16:07
BrokaToeI would recomment sudo su into root and cd / to run the backup from the root dir16:07
BrokaToeno that would just create an archive of the entire root directory16:07
BrokaToenothing would be wiped16:07
donalsdBrokaToe: Yeah, but when I have to unzip the files, they will have to replace the current ones in the new installation.16:08
BrokaToethen you can copy that tar file to a usb drive and plug it into the new server and mount it16:08
BrokaToeyes they will replace them16:08
tomreynsorry to interrupt, but i dont think this is a good strategy if the data to be backed up is going to change in the process16:08
BrokaToebut only what has changed16:08
BrokaToeit will replace the files that are transferring only16:09
donalsdtomreyn: It wouldn't.16:09
tomreynyou may end up with different states of files which together form a single unit, such as a database.16:09
donalsdIt's my local server.16:09
oerheksstop the service, backup..16:09
BrokaToewell if it's a production environment with changing databases I wouldn't recommend this method no16:09
tomreynsure if you stop all services then it can work16:09
BrokaToetrue16:10
donalsdBrokaToe: So I have the installations on the same computer. Not a production server.16:10
BrokaToeesxi?16:10
BrokaToeor dual boot?16:10
geirhaIf you don't have control over what config and files belong to what app, you'll have a big problem the day you need to restore from backup16:10
donalsdTwo installations as in dual-booted. One in HDD, the other in SSD.16:10
donalsdBrokaToe: I am trying to move the files from the HDD root to the SSD root.16:11
BrokaToeohhh I was thinking the "new" install was a fresh install on a new machine16:11
donalsdBoth run, Ubuntu 16.0416:11
BrokaToedesktop versions?16:11
donalsdBrokaToe: Yes.16:11
BrokaToeI believe there's some good backup solutions available for something like that right tomreyn ?16:12
BrokaToewith a nice gui interface16:12
donalsdI thought I would use something like Clonezilla first, but that seemed to be complicated.16:12
tomreynthere are graphical file browsers which let you copy files from one mounted file system to another.16:13
tomreynbut chances are this approach will rather break things than fix them16:13
donalsdIs there a way to recover the apps and configs? tomreyn16:13
donalsdJust cloning the installed apps and their configs16:14
tomreynrecover from what?16:14
lotuspsychje!backup | donalsd16:14
donalsdFrom the HDD installation.16:14
ubottudonalsd: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning16:14
donalsd!cloning16:14
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate16:14
tomreyntherE's no easy graphical interface for what you are trying to achieve, not that i know of.16:15
donalsdClonezilla seemed complicated to me. tomreyn16:16
oerheksexamine any app where the data is stored, install the app on the new install, move data, dobn't copy apps to the new install is my choise16:16
donalsdoerheks: too many apps16:17
tomreynand even then you would have different UIDs + GIDs16:17
BluesKajuse separate / and /home partitions16:17
oerheks"too many apps" ??16:18
donalsdoerheks: Yes.16:18
tomreynthe tar (as root) + untar (as root) approach can work, but i would not do it for / but for more specific locations such as /etc/mysql /etc/apache2 /var/lib/mysql (which services are stopped)16:19
geirhaFor instance, replacing /etc/fstab will likely make the system no longer boot16:22
donalsdgeirha: I will still try doing that xD16:23
flux242will xubuntu switch to gdm too or will it stay with the lightdm?16:24
tomreynif you dont know how to recover from this situation and don't have a backup of the target system you'll not do yourself a favor with this approach.16:24
tomreyndonalsd: ^16:24
ioriaflux242, i guess so (in the next release)16:28
ioriaflux242, but afaik the problem was with gnome-shell, not with xfce16:29
donalsdtomreyn: I think I am going to go with the individual installation. Have to dedicate 2 more days.16:29
donalsdIs there a way that I can see the list of programs I installed on the other system? tomreyn16:30
tomreyndonalsd: for packages, you can do: dpkg -l16:30
donalsdtomreyn: The ones I actually installed and not the dependencies? xD That would ease my task a lot16:31
donalsdAs in mysql and not its dependencies16:32
ioriadonalsd, try this : comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)16:34
sartan.part16:34
donalsdioria: Okay, that works16:35
Richard_Cavell_If I choose MATE instead of cinnamon, will that restrict the programs that I can use, or does it not matter?  I want to use an IRC client, for example.17:00
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: no17:00
Richard_Cavell_ikonia, can you tell what desktop environment this is?  http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/ubuntu-16-04-lts-xenial-xerus-final-beta-screenshot-tour-502161-7.jpg17:02
ikoniaunity17:02
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: I think you need to do a bit of basic research into what ubuntu is, what it provides and what it's roadmap is17:03
Richard_Cavell_Yes, I do. But right now I just need to know which iso to download17:03
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: the ubuntu iso17:03
Richard_Cavell_I have used Ubuntu before and I like that colour scheme, font, etc17:03
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: keep in mind ubuntu is dropping unity as it's desktop17:03
Richard_Cavell_ikonia, How do I get that colour scheme/font/etc?17:08
Richard_Cavell_Sorry for the newb questions17:09
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: it's default17:09
ikoniaRichard_Cavell_: as I say though, this desktop environment is being dropped, so investing in it, may not be a good idea17:09
Richard_Cavell_ikonia, I want to go with an LTS version so may I expect 16.04 LTS to look like that for a while yet?17:14
tomreynRichard_Cavell_: 16.04 will look like this untill you upgrade to a newer release.17:15
Richard_Cavell_ok, good17:16

ShaRoseSo, I'm trying to get clevis (https://github.com/latchset/clevis/), specifically the automatic unlocking of luks volumes on boot, to work with initramfs because dracut doesn't seem to like zfs root for 16.04. The problem is that initramfs executes scripts sequentially, so either the clevis hook stalls forever because luks will never try to decrypt, or it will error out because luks hasn't tried to ask for the passphrase yet18:41
ShaRosethe only way I can think of to resolve the problem is a really ugly hack, or a slightly less ugly hack which is still ugly18:42
ShaRosereally ugly being "sed the luks decryption script so it tries to unlock it" and slightly less ugly being "fork it and run with a sleep"18:43

Bashing-omgilbahat: Ouch . Sorry end of my range of knowledge .19:20
gilbahatBashing-om: I manage linux machines on my day job, doing heavy multimedia processing, and I couldn’t get it to work like I wanted to. maybe someone at nvidia messed up the drivers or maybe it’s even a limitation of VDPAU. my wife doesn’t care, she wants a proper media center :)19:21
Bashing-omgilbahat: Understand ! My Wife went back to Windows10 to support her graphic's station .19:22
BluesKajglebihan, use chrome, not chromium for starters19:23
gilbahatBluesKaj: doesn’t matter. chrome doesn’t support VDPAU on linux. it only supports VA-API and on ChromeOS only. I even downloaded a build that was supposed to re-enable it, but either way video performance was simply horrible.19:24

Ichimusaihoruxan: When do you get the message.19:26
BluesKajgilbahat, think you need to not worry about enabling vdpau, if you use the 340 driver the nvidia vdpau driver should take care of that , and it's installed by default by dkms19:26

oerhekshoruxan,  use paste.ubuntu.com for the output of your make attempt.19:28
oerheksBluesKaj, nvidia 210 is much stronger than that nvidia ion19:29
BluesKajoerheks, but it uses the 340 legacy driver19:30

Ichimusaioerheks: Same. So he needs to research a bit what file i bailing and so on. If the lib is actually available then there is something odd with the make not finding it.19:41
IchimusaiDiamonte: Of course, what kind of question is that?19:41
Diamontewell to make something you compile19:42
Diamontemust have gcc19:42
oerhekswithout proper info, we all can just guess19:42
horuxanback to start the compilation, this error stop the make19:43
IchimusaiDiamonte: If you paid notice you could see its the linker that bails. Okay? That means it already compiled and not finding the lib at the link stage.19:43
Diamontei said something about linking earlier19:43

badet0satleast its not icecream20:15
gamesterSo here's the story I suspect is true without having confirmed it: I was trying to make a GUI application and I wanted to use the newest Gtk. I compiled but needed other libraries such as GIO. So I compiled and installed these naturally in /usr/local/lib. Then, because of someone's brilliant design decisions, /usr/local/lib is checked before /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and so I have just crapped the entire god damn system without knowing.20:30
gamesterTo clarify, shared libraries are first searched in usr local lib20:30
gamesterSo poor ol gsettings, a core component of a gnome linux system, was modified by me trying to build a gui application20:31

linux_userHear Yee, Hear Yeah, Hear Yee! I have installed UbuntuGNOME flavor and wish to install the UbuntuStudio meta packages thereupon. In order do so I understand that I must choose the proper mix of UbuntuStudio meta packages in order to not transmogrify the regular UbuntuGNOME environment. Can anyone offer me some guidance on a recommended set of the packages to load? I tried installing ubuntustudio-video,22:06
linux_userubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-photography, ubuntustudio-publishing, ubuntustudio-graphics. But after I did, the GNOME GUI crashed or stopped working and I could never get the machine reboot back into GUI mode!?! It is a virtual machine running under VMware Linux.22:06
ikonialinux_user: you've just said a load of random words22:06
ikonialinux_user: try to just ask a simple clear question without all the silly noise22:06
ikonialinux_user: clarify what version of linux you are using22:07
linux_userI did say it simply. However, the foregoing notwithstanding, I admit I did leave off the Ubuntu variant at issue, and in this case, it is 17.0422:07
LuMinttomreyn: sadly, it didn't help. I've put the missing firmware file in /lib/firmware/radeon and executed sudo initramfs-update -u, but the screen resolution is still borked.22:08
ikonialinux_user: no, you padded it with lots of junk22:08
LuMintWhat can I do about it?22:08
ikonialinux_user: exactly WHAT version of ubuntu are you running22:08
linux_userUbuntuGNOME 17.04, I am trying to install thereupon the UbuntuStudio meta packages, so I can start with UbuntuGNOME yet have the UbuntuStudio meta packages installed. But, whence that was completed (I did try it), the GUI was no more. Literally I was reduced to nothing but a flashing underscore on the screen, yet I could still ssh into the VM.22:09
ikonialinux_user: we don't need medievil english22:10
LuMintikonia: is there anything that can be done about it?22:10
ikonialinux_user: so why not either install ubuntustudio rather than gnome, or install the ubuntu-studio meta package22:10
ikoniaLuMint: done about what ?22:10
LuMintikonia: borked screen resolution after update to 4.4 kernel22:10
LuMintikonia: update initramfs doesn't give this warning https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8de44942290e64c907b53ebdf8c7db3a  anymore, but it still doesn't work22:11
ikoniaLuMint: you need to do what I told you a.) find out if you need that firmware b.) find out why it's not included c.) understand a + b and that will offer the best resolution options22:11
linux_userikonia: I am not sure what "medievil" (vice medieval) English you are referencing. However, I did install the ubuntu-studio meta packages (I installed 5 of them) are you saying there is a higher level meta package that the 5 or 6 packages I previously enumerated?22:12
LuMintikonia: idk why it's not included. It's in https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/linux-firmware22:12
ikonialinux_user: ubuntu-studio is the top level meta package22:12
linux_userOH22:12

ikoniaLuMint: look in your xorg log to get an idea what it's doing when it trys to load the desktop22:13
linux_userikonia: appreciation for your assistance is great, however, it is worth of notation that the package you stated "ubuntu-studio" seems to be conspicuously absent and unavailable for UbuntuGNOME 16.04 or 17.04 (I have both installed and apt-cache search returned no such package in either case)22:17

oerhekslinux_user, i think all meta packages pull in some backgrounds and fonts, as dependencie, and what would you gain, a few mb22:38
Bashing-omLuMint_: As you can see there are 2 AMD cards on that system . both GPU:RV530 that take the radeon driver . The nvidia stuff needs to be gone gone ! . As to how to get dual AMD cards functions - I do not know ! .22:39
LuMint_Bashing-om:  but I don't use two cards! I use just one!22:40
LuMint_Bashing-om: besides, prior to updating to 4.4. kernel it worked fine w/ 3.1322:40
Bashing-omLuMint_: Nope, read the xorg file .. and see that lspci output .. 2 cards ! Now ya may only have one card hooked up to a monitor . but the system sees 2 cards .22:41
LuMint_Bashing-om: why does nvidia stuff need to be gone? Does it interfere with Radeon drivers? As for the graphics cards, I have a graphics card integrated in my mobo (i'm not using it) and a x1600pro (that I'm using)22:41
LuMint_well, i don't need the second...22:42
LuMint_Bashing-om: how can I delete the second one?22:44
LuMint_the one I'm not using?22:44
Bashing-omLuMint_: The system is presently some kind of confused as to what you want . load Nvidia driver for a card that does not exist . load FGLRX that does not exist . deal with which card is in use ? Gimme a bit to craft up the means to straighten out the system's thinking .22:47
LuMint_should I blacklist them in modprobe?22:48
LuMint_I want to use just one card, x1600pro, that's currently hooked up to the monitor22:48
LuMint_and I'd like to use it with a newer kernel, because it's supported by Ubuntu 16.04 alright22:50
oerheksLuMint_, normally when your bios is set to GPU = AGP/Pcie, and not internal, you would not see the onboard22:50

LuMint_I put the missing file in the firmware/radeon folder, so initramfs-update -u doesn't give any more warnings, but it didn't help with the screen resolution22:56
Bashing-omLuMint_: I do not know what method you followed to get the 4.4 kernel . I bet the 3.17/19 kernels DID support FGLRX . 4.4 does not . All that old stuff needs to be gone gone also and the bew driver (radeon) installed for the AMD card .23:02

neldogzBashing-om, I was originally using an Nvidia GTX 680 but I can no longer mine erth because now you need a graphics card with at least 3GB of memory.. So i removed all that and installed the ATI card. Here is the output23:11
neldogzii  xserver-xorg-video-radeon                   1:7.7.0-1                                        amd64        X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver23:11
LuMint_Bashing-om: sorry, I thought you were addressing me. So, how do I delete fglrx?23:12
tripger3hello i need some help getting my windows 7 partion to boot from grub 2 or in anyway23:12
Bashing-omLuMint_: Rin ' sudo apt purge nvidia* ; sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; sudo apt purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates ; sudo apt install dkms ; sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-radeon ; sudo apt install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ; sudo update-initramfs -u ' . One command at the time .23:13
Bashing-omneldogz: Well the AMD driver is installed . did you purge nvidia ?23:14
neldogzBashing-om, yes all the Nvidia stuff is purged and if i pull up details, it says: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TAHITI (DRM 2.43.0 / 4.4.0-79-generic, LLVM 3.8.0)23:15
Fallenourhey what command do I use to kill the graphics interface with ubuntu? I just wanna run headless23:15
tripger3I am unable to boot the windows recovery cd to fix windows boot manager the disk just says CDBOOT: BootMgr is missing23:15
Fallenouralso, what command do I use to logout? I tried logout, logout -f, and logout -r, no dice23:15
tripger3switch to terminal with ctrl alt f123:15
tripger3then sudo kill lightdm23:15
tripger3i think23:16
tripger3one sec le tme check23:16
Fallenourno dice, but thanks for the try tripger323:16
tripger3correction sudo service lightdm stop23:16
Jordan_UIs there any way, when installing Ubuntu 17.04, to keep my existing @home btrfs subvolume (which was created by automatic btrfs partitioning from a previous Ubuntu install)?23:16
tripger3to restart it sudo service lightdm start23:16
tripger3then hit ctrl alt f7 to get back to gui23:17
FallenourHAZAAH! but now I dont have terminal LOL23:17
tripger3did you you switch to ternminal first?23:17
Fallenourum..23:17
FallenourI had a terminal open?23:17
neldogzBashing-om, any idea on how to switch from Gallium to the ATI driver?23:17
LuMint_Bashing-om: nothing is installed. Neither nvidia nor fglrx. cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’: No such file or directory23:17
Bashing-omneldogz: We ginna have to sort throygh this as the TAHITI card takes the amdgpu driver .23:18
tripger3i meant switch to the virtual terminal23:18
Fallenourtripger3: Im not familiar with that. Honestly im new to running headless, but I like ti way more once i jumped head first, now I cant stand the interface23:18
tripger3ok so give me a sec and ill write it all out so you have the proper directions23:19
Fallenourtripger3: HAZAAH!23:19
Bashing-omLuMint_: Keep on going . not having is a good thing .23:20
Jordan_Utripger3: Please run boot info script from here: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces.23:20
FallenourTripger3: Also, im gonna try and build openstack on ubuntu. Debian...well...that wasnt a pleasant experience. I got it working...once... but yea! Any advice on that as well would be outstanding. Already have the instructions set up for it.23:20
tripger3hit ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to terminal view, you can get back to the gui by hitting ctrl+alt+f7. If you need to stop the x-server you can run "sudo service lightdm stop", to restart the xserver run "sudo service lightdm start"23:21
LuMint_right23:21
tripger3so to got terminal ctrl+alt+f1 -> sudo service lightdm stop         to return  type "sudo service lightdm start" -> ctrl+alt+f723:22
nhooyrok I figured it out. something to do with my $PATH not being set correctly.23:22
neldogzBashing-om, Am i understanding this correctly that I could try installing the LTE Enablement stack? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver23:23
tripger3sorry im pretty new hear myself and trying to solve an issue getting my windows 7 booting again23:23
Bashing-omneldogz: lemme read . HWE should not be a factor .23:23
tripger3damn uefi and bootmgr23:23
Fallenouris there a default root password for ubuntu im not aware of?23:24
tripger3here*23:24
neldogzBashing-om, yeah, looks like it doesn't apply actually: In Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 with kernel Linux 4.4.0, if you find problems with the Radeon R7 M260/M265 (Topaz) or R9 M395X (Tonga) graphics cards, you can:23:24
genii!root | Fallenour23:24
ubottuFallenour: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo23:24
FallenourI cant log in as root, and I need it for dist-upgrade23:24
tripger3run sudo before your commands, it gives you root access to what you run23:24
tripger3so "sudo dist-upgrade"23:25
Fallenourtripger3: I already tried that with sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade23:25
Fallenourunless the sudo portion isnt inherited23:25
Jordan_Utripger3: Did you see my request for boot info script output?23:25
tripger3hey jordan will do23:25
Bashing-omneldogz: An August list of supported cards : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Amdgpu .23:25
Jordan_Utripger3: Also, if you have multiple OSs and you want to maintain your sanity then they should all be configured to boot via the same boot firmware interface, i.e. either all BIOS or all UEFI. If your boot firmware supports UEFI then ideally you should be going all UEFI.23:26
neldogzBashing-om, yes, I can see the HD7970 on there under the Southern Island family name23:27
Fallenourtripger3: it seems that it is indeed, not inherited. ubottu: Then how do I access root in ubuntu?23:27
geniiFallenour: Put sudo before EVERY apt command, not just the first one23:28
Bashing-omneldogz: We got to figure out how to remove the radeon driver and get the amdgpu driver installed / I got no experience with this later hardware !23:29
Fallenour  genii: no I get that, but that still leaves root as an existing user account on my system. Specifically one that I dont know the credential to. Thats a potential security concern23:29
neldogzBashing-om, I am reading this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD23:29
tripger3Jordan they should all be UEFI, the BIOS option does not seem to work at all, i think at the root of the issue is that I formatted the Windows loader23:29
tripger3https://paste2.org/m5k19aj723:30
tgm4883Fallenour: root doesn't have credentials23:30
geniiFallenour: Root account on ubuntu has 1) No viable password  2) login is disabled23:30
tgm4883Fallenour: not having credentials is not the same as you not knowing what the credentials are23:30
Fallenourgenii: thatss the magic im hunting for! Alrighty!23:30
tripger3Jordan will that work, generated from Boot-Repair23:30
Fallenournext question. when I run sudo adduser, I get denied, error message is "only root can..."23:31
tgm4883genii: no viable password. I like that and I'm stealing it from now on ;)23:31
neldogzBashing-om, none of the walk through pages seem to help.. I wonder If I am running a card on a version of Ubuntu that is just simply not supported.. I do not see the AMD card under the additional drivers tool23:31
Fallenourhow am I supposed to add/remove users  from sudo or root usergroups if I cant access it?23:31
geniitgm4883: Enjoy23:31
tgm4883Fallenour: usermod ?23:31
Fallenourusermod?23:31
Fallenourlink please? im not familiar with this command. Im used to using adduser23:32
geniiFallenour: Any operation which requires admin (root) use sudo for23:32
tgm4883Fallenour: well adduser should work for adding a user, so I'd have to see exactly what you're doing. If you're just adding a user to an existing group, I'd suggest usermod23:32
Fallenouradduser (username) (groupname)23:32
Fallenouradduser me sudo ; adduser me root23:32
Fallenourits my generic two23:32
tgm4883Fallenour: sudo adduser me sudo23:33
tgm4883actually, that wouldn't work23:33
geniiFisrt user with uid 1000 is already in sudo group23:33
genii*first23:33
tgm4883Adding yourself to sudo isn't going to work because you'd need sudo privs to do so23:33
tgm4883genii: +123:33
Fallenourooook, so Id need to take the first account, which is administrator by default, and use that to script the creating of all the other credentials?23:34
Jordan_Utripger3: I'm much more familiar with the output of the script I linked to, though to be honest I'm also used to Boot-Repair's Boot Info Script output being very close to the fork I linked you to, but your output looks very different.23:34
tripger3yeah sure i under stand will just take me a minute23:34
nanodroneI'm on Ubuntu 16.10 and I installed the 4.10.10-xxxxxx kernel, Whenever I'm using this kernel, virtualbox doesn't work. How can I workaround it (without installing 17.04), I need the kernel.23:34
Fallenourbbl, food23:34
LuMintno, it didn't help23:35
Jordan_Utripger3: Please also pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr" and "find /boot/efi/".23:36
neldogzBashing-om, OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TAHITI (DRM 2.43.0 / 4.4.0-79-generic, LLVM 3.8.0)23:36
Jordan_Unanodrone: Make sure that you have the headers for that kernel installed, so that the virtualbox drivers can be built (via DKMS).23:36
neldogzBashing-om, this is similar: https://askubuntu.com/questions/879325/how-to-switch-from-radeonsi-driver-to-amdgpu-open-source-ubunut-16-04-x-lts23:37
Lorne2017Hey - I'm on 17.04 ...and when logging in (with correct password) - it kicks me out immediately back to login screen.  Any thoughts?23:37
tripger3https://paste2.org/I5zCPvs7 just the script output will get the others in a sec23:37
nanodroneJordan_U, where do I get the headers for 4.10.10-041010-generic23:37
nanodroneI tried apt but they're not available.23:37
LuMintBashing-om: it didn't help23:37
Jordan_ULorne2017: Probably X or your DE session (Unity, Gnome Shell, etc) crashing.23:37
Jordan_Unanodrone: How did you install 4.10.10-041010-generic?23:38
nanodroneJordan_U, using the deb files for kernel.ubuntu23:38
nanodronefrom*23:38
Jordan_Unanodrone: Then install the kernel header package from the same place.23:38
LuMintJordan_U: hello! I got a problem with kernel update, too. Perhaps you could help me out?23:39
Lorne2017Jordan_U Is there some command i can use to update all my packages ?   Or to otherwise fix it?23:39
Jordan_ULorne2017: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade23:39
nanodroneJordan_U, linux-headers-4.10.10-041010-generic_4.10.10-041010.201704120813_amd64.deb ?23:39
Lorne2017Jordan_U thx...trying....23:40
tripger3https://paste2.org/0sGOMNn5 ok that has script info as well as the other two outputs appended to the bottom23:40
Jordan_Unanodrone: That looks right, yes.23:40
nanodroneJordan_U, I already installed that. Didn't do the trick :(23:40
geniiLorne2017: This can also be a result of some files in your home dir not belonging to you anymore. So I'd recommend a: sudo chown -R your-username:your-username /home/your-username23:40
geniiLorne2017: This can happen if you previously ran something graphical with sudo instead of gksudo, or otherwise changed permissions or ownership of files there23:41
Lorne2017genii  Yeah - might be graphical related - been fighting with my NVIDIA driver all weekend....23:42
neldogzBashing-om, I am trying this going to reboot: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx23:42
Lorne2017genii OK - I ran that command... seemed to take it happily... do I reboot now?23:42
nanodroneExamining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.23:43
nanodronerun-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 4.10.10-041010-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.10-041010-generic23:43

nanodroneConsult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.6/build/make.log for more information.23:43
geniiLorne2017: No need, just try logging in again23:43
nanodroneWhat does this mean?23:43
Lorne2017Jordan_U  ...also performed your command and it updated a bunch of things...23:43
Jordan_Unanodrone: You may need a newer version of Virtualbox. Try asking in #vbox.23:43
LuMintJordan_U: my ati 7.3 driver broke when updating from 3.13 to 4.4, any ideas on how to fix it?23:44
Jordan_ULuMint: Please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a".23:44
Lorne2017genii  Sorry... it flashes a few funcky screens (ending in the purple canonical login screen)...then the bongos sound effect and my regular login screen returns... :(23:44
nanodroneJordan_U, I already have the latest version :(23:44
nanodroneThink I'm just gonna have to upgrade to 17.04.23:44
LuMintJordan_U: it's 14.0423:45
geniiLorne2017: So then we've narrowed it to be most likely a driver issue.23:45
Jordan_ULuMint: Please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a" anyway.23:45
tripger3so anyone have any clue on getting windows 7 to boot?23:45
Lorne2017genii awesome...:)   How do I fix that...?23:46
Jordan_Utripger3: OK, both OSs are configured to such that they can boot via UEFI, which is good. Are you able to select Windows from your boot firmwar menus (rather than grub) and boot successfully?23:46
geniiLorne2017: How did you previously try to install the nvidia driver?23:47
LuMintJordan_U: https://gist.github.com/447fa3ebd5f738134e781bf6e926b0f023:47
tripger3boot firmware? doesnt seem to be present if you are referring to the second partition installed with windows i formatted over that in a fit of stupidity23:47
Lorne2017genii Yes. - I have NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run in my folder.... do you want me to run it?  (sudo sh NVIDIA....)23:48
Jordan_Utripger3: Well if you deleted one of your Windows partitions that would likely be the root problem. Maybe ##windows can help you re-create it, though you may need to re-install Windows.23:48
geniiLorne2017: It is better instead at this time to uninstall it using the instructions from the Nvidia website. And then to find out what exact card you have and the best version driver for it.23:49
tripger3as of right now windows boot manager still shows in bios even though there is no partition currently there for it, also cannot even boot from the factory install disk for windows23:49
Jordan_Utripger3: But no, that's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to what people often call the "BIOS".23:49
geniiLorne2017: I have to go do some chores for 7-10 minutes but I'll still be in the channel and read scroll when I get back.23:50
tripger3can't even reinstall windows, cd literally will not boot only words are CDBOOT: BootMgr is missing23:50
Lorne2017genii  So this one worked before...*sigh*23:50
Jordan_Utripger3: Well, seems more like a Windows problem rather than an Ubuntu one. Let's move this discussion to ##windows.23:51
geniiLorne2017: If you install the nvidia one from their site, it does not update to make a new driver each time you upgrade the kernel. Whereas the ones built for ubuntu update the dkms every time23:51
geniiback in a bit23:51
LuMintJordan_U: when I instaled the 4.4. kernel, I got this warning https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8de44942290e64c907b53ebdf8c7db3a now I fixed the warning by pasting the missing file in /lib/firmware/radeon, there's no warning now, but it didn fix borked screen resolution23:52
Jordan_ULuMint: How, and why, did you install a 4.4 kernel?23:52
LuMintwith package manager23:53
LuMintincluding extras23:53
LuMintJordan_U: then I reconfigured Xorg and reinstalled some mesa stuff on advice from Bashing-om and then ran update-initramfs -u again, then rebooted, but it didn't help23:53
Lorne2017genii so I found a more recent version 375.66 on NVIDIA's website - and have it downloaded to my win machine... do you think I can "sudo apt-get..." something like that?23:54
Lorne2017genii  OK - I'm sure that was a dumb q...because it didn't work (lol)... I have now put the file on a thumb drive...can you walk me thru mounting (and finding!) the thumb drive...do I need to copy the file somewhere before I execute it?23:57
Dreamanmy work driver is in repos23:57
Bashing-omLuMint: Jordan_U :: show us a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log file . see what X thinks now .23:59
geniiLorne2017: It is better not to install drivers at all into Ubuntu from Nvidia's site directly. They modify some system files which need to be restored by running their specific uninstall commands before being able to successfully install more appropriate drivers from either the normal repositories or the xorg-edgers PPA23:59
