[00:00] LuMint: ^ and have you rebooted since re-installing the radeon driver ? [00:01] genii Yeah - ok cool. So I have the file on a thumb drive...but I'm not familiar with cmd line mounting it..and finding it...and moving it... [00:01] http://imgur.com/a/cVmaL genii: see [00:02] Dreaman: Please stop spamming. [00:02] phahahahah [00:03] Lorne2017: I'm trying to find the correct instructions. Please stand by [00:03] genii THX! [00:04] @comment 77093 Spam, warned, repeat known problem user [00:04] Comment added. [00:05] Lorne2017: sudo nvidia-uninstall ...may work [00:05] Bashing-om: yes, I have rebooted. [00:06] Lorne2017: We will not be needing the file which you downloaded to the usb, that is a dead end for now. [00:06] Bashing-om: okay, I'll reboot and post it. [00:07] Lorne2017: Did: sudo nvidia-uninstall do anything, or did it not find the command? [00:08] genii OK - that command opened an Installer screen - I said "yes" - and I got ERROR Failed to run /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig --restore-original0backup. WARNING Unable to locate/open X config file. ERROR Unable to restorre from original backup file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original' (no such file or dir) [00:09] Lorne2017: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original ...and then try the command again please [00:10] genii ...but I clicked OK - and now its saysing "Uninstallation of existing driver is complete"... (yay) [00:10] Lorne2017: OK, good [00:11] Lorne2017: So next, we will add the PPA for the lates trusted Ubuntu NVidia drivers with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [00:11] genii (I haven't tried the sudi touch cmd yet...do I still need to?) [00:11] Lorne2017: No, if it said they uninstalled that should be fine [00:11] genii OK cool. awaiting further instructions... :) [00:12] Anyone who uses Chrome here is experiencing any issues when updating the machine? [00:12] Lorne2017: Now : sudo apt update [00:12] genii ok done. all packages are up to date [00:12] Lorne2017: After that, we need to decide which driver version is appropriate for the card you have, and install that [00:13] If i do apt update it freezes in Chrome line and ignores the rest [00:14] Lorne2017: Do you know offhand the card? If not, run: sudo apt install lshw and then: sudo lshw -C display [00:14] And sbuild is also failing with a similar error, asking me to check my internet connection [00:14] genii I went thru the selector at NVIDIA and they pointed me at the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.66 (I'm using a Geforce 970 card if that helps) [00:14] Good [00:15] genii Yup! that cool trick confirmed.. GeForce GTX 970 [00:15] Lorne2017: Sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 [00:15] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/10n6 [00:15] here [00:16] LuMint: reading . [00:16] it's xorg.0.log, I figure that's the right one [00:17] genii E:Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 [00:18] Lorne2017: Did you do the: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [00:18] genii ...nope...(Sorry...must have missed that one) [00:19] Lorne2017: So than after adding that ppa, again with: sudo apt update ...and then the: sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 [00:20] LuMint: Sorry above my skill level . still trying to load nvidia and FGLRX on a 4.4 series kernel . I am out of ideas . [00:20] genii OK - added the ppa..looked ok... then the sudo apt update... looked good... then sudo-apt-get install... and got the unable to locate package again... [00:20] Bashing-om: thanks anyway. I figure I'll try a fresh install. [00:21] genii (I'll try re-typing it...might always be a typo....) [00:21] Bashing-om: It's not possible for them to coexist, they both want to overwrite the same opengl shared library with one compiled for their specific hardware [00:22] genii Nope. Still saying E:Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 [00:22] Lorne2017: The actual package name may be instead: nvidia-375 [00:22] genii: Yeah. some kind of messed up and I have no idea of how to straigten it up . lspci shows dual ATI cards . [00:22] genii - YES! [00:23] Bashing-om: That would be because you installed the fglrx driver last [00:23] Anyone having issues with Google Chrome PPA? [00:23] I can't update the system because it crashes there [00:23] Bashing-om: I bashed my head on this problem for almost a year. Better to put 2 of the same in [00:24] genii OK that did a bunch of stuff :) Next? [00:24] s/there/in chrome source. [00:24] Lorne2017: sudo sync [00:24] Lorne2017: After that, a reboot would be in order [00:24] genii ok sweet!! I'm rebooting [00:27] I am missing loads of options in the gnome-control-center (running i3-wm on X, no Gnome session) - e.g. mouse and keyboard config is gone - how to get them showing? [00:27] gsilvapt: If you have a 32bit install, google removed all the 32bit repositories and you're SOL. If you have a 64bit install, follow the instructions here to add [arch=amd64] to your googe repository file. https://askubuntu.com/questions/724093/no-more-updates-for-google-chrome-apt-get-update-error [00:28] gsilvapt: This will make it ignore about the missing 32bit files in the repo [00:28] genii, not sure if that is it because I removed the ppa, tried updating again and it froze in a ppa that is stored in Launchpad [00:29] And that warning was over a year ago, it has worked flawlessly until now :\ [00:29] Googles repositories are not in launchpad [00:30] genii - Awesome...machine is back....and I still have one issue (this is the one I was trying to fix when I screwed it before...) [00:30] Yes, I said I removed Chrome and it froze in another package that is stored in Launchpad [00:31] genii For some reason - my screen is zoomed into showing only a part of the Desktop...in DISPLAY setting, the "scale" option is below the bottom of the screen and I can't reach it to re-scale... [00:32] genii Is there another way to rescale the visible desktop to fit my screen? [00:32] Lorne2017: Ah. Sorry, someone else will need to guide you through the magnifier or accessibility settings to fix that in Ubuntu ( my primary desktop is Kubuntu instead) [00:33] gsilvapt: Do you have a pastebin of what errors you're getting? [00:33] I can share one [00:33] genii thx tho... I keep thinking there must be a simple alt-+/- keyboard command to fix it (like in a browser)... but I can't find anything.... [00:33] gsilvapt: That would be helpful to us [00:34] Lorne2017: Yes, most likely. But you'd need someone more familiar with your specific desktop and it's shortcuts than i am [00:34] Sure, I understand. I believe this is a common error. If relevant, I had to delete /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys to have sbuild working [00:34] And I don't recall if it stopped working from that moment on but I think so. [00:35] genii, https://paste.ubuntu.com/24895358/ [00:35] Hello, I performed a dist-upgrade on my 16.04.2 install yesterday and my PC will no longer boot into Unity today... get a "The system is running in low-graphics mode" with "Your screen, graphics card, input device settings could not be detected correctly..." I can log in via ctl+F1. Anybody else having this, or have advice? I don't know enough to provide details, but can follow directions... [00:36] In using Ubuntu 17.04 and my screen is zoomed in too far...the Scale setting in Display is outside my screen - can anyone help me re-scale the screen? Is there a simple keyboard shortcut? [00:37] ctrl-shift +/- to increase/decrease respectively [00:38] gsilvapt sorry - neither of those are doing anything [00:38] gsilvapt: at commandline, to try: echo "Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=1" | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf [00:38] Syntax error: extra junk at the end of the file [00:38] Was that expected? [00:39] gsilvapt: Alternately, just: sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf add the line: Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=1 then ctrl+x and then Y to save [00:40] That line is already that [00:40] s/that/there [00:42] Odd. [00:42] gsilvapt: So in this case it is giving warnings but you should still be able to install things from those repositories [00:43] E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:2: Extra junk at end of file [00:43] That is the exact error [00:43] that error is great, as it legitimizes non-"Extra" _junk_ :p [00:43] I formatted a hard drive as ext4 and somehow turned into infinite 8gb partitions. [00:43] igoo: nice, sell it! [00:43] gsilvapt: So the file may be corrupt. [00:44] reisio, nah im gonna push it to systemd's github. [00:44] Hum [00:44] gsilvapt: sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf [00:44] how do I fix it then? [00:44] gsilvapt: Then do the nano instructions again [00:44] ah ok [00:44] igoo: heh [00:44] <3 you [00:44] as long as you mean it to be harmful to systemd, anyway :p [00:45] Exact same error [00:45] reisio, Of course not, it's just a useful feature that an init system should have. [00:45] rofl <3 [00:45] igoo: Please explain how you "formatted" the hard drive, and pastebin any output of any command that demonstrates these infinite partitions. [00:45] gsilvapt: Are you typing in or copy-paste what I had? [00:45] gsilvapt: there are a few online apt.conf re/generators out there [00:46] genii, I tried both. First i wrote manually then I copy-pasted [00:47] reisio, the problem is I know what I did wrong and I have no clue what is missing [00:47] gsilvapt: Ah, apologies. I had the wrong syntax. Put instead Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "1"; [00:47] ( instead of =1) [00:47] Jordan_U, I just used parted to make a partition then i mkfs.ext4'd it and now whenever i mount it with caja it mounts an 8gb drive that doesn't exist. [00:47] Now it freezes in the same package [00:48] lets see the errors if they're the same... [00:48] igoo: Try to explain what you're seeing rather than your interpretation of what you're seeing. Ideally, please post screenshots. [00:48] !screenshot | igoo [00:48] igoo: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. [00:48] Using Ubuntu 17.04 and my screen is zoomed in too far...the Scale setting in Display is outside my screen - can anyone help me re-scale the screen? Is there a simple keyboard shortcut? [00:48] gsilvapt: hard to parse, that statement [00:48] Lorne2017: xrandr -s 0 [00:49] Same errors, genii [00:49] Lorne2017: or DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s 0, if you find yourself outside of X [00:49] Jordan_U, Oh it's not a problem yet, I'll just shred it and start over [00:49] reisio, it's late, I'm tired and annoyed. Sorry. This is what I get after apt update: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24895358/ [00:49] Thoss: Graphics driver broke in the upgrade ? pastebin ' sudo lhw -C display ' as a place to start . [00:50] reisio I got "can't open display" for the first one.... do I need to sudo service lightdm stop? [00:50] gsilvapt: add also to that file, underneath on it's own line: [00:50] gsilvapt: Binary::apt::Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "0"; [00:50] Sorry, 1, not 0 [00:50] gsilvapt: hrmm, never even heard of 'Release' [00:50] genii, same error [00:51] reisio, these are defaults I haven't changed anything. This stopped working since last night... [00:51] xenial response to both clicks and keyboard shortcuts is very slow!!! are there any suggestions to fix this? cpu and ram usages is ok [00:51] Bashing-om: thanks, let me try and get that info... guess will be a manual type into pastebin. :) Could be driver... I have RX 460 using AMDGPU-PRO can't recall which version. [00:52] reisio the DISPLAY...cmd seemed to go in fine... but when I F7'ed out...the display hasn't changed... [00:52] Thoss: ' sudo lhw -C display | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . [00:52] Hang on. [00:53] gsilvapt: What does cat /etc/issue report? [00:53] Bashing-om: will try that, thanks. [00:53] Lorne2017: might be the window manager's zoom function, then [00:53] genii: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS \n \l [00:53] Lorne2017: try alt+mousewheel/two-finger-on-touchpad [00:53] Lorne2017: or s/alt/win/meta/ctrl/etc. [00:54] Lorne2017: or just esc [00:54] So not mismatched sources/actual [00:54] Lorne2017: or specify your wm/DE (GNOME? Unity? Ordinary Ubuntu?) [00:57] reisio as far as I know - ordinary ubuntu... [00:59] reisio alt+mousewheel doesn't do anything... and I didnt understand what you meant by: s/alt/win/meta/ctrl/etc. [00:59] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/2dvc [01:00] Lorne2017: those keys, instead of alt [01:01] I'm looking at https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-ZFS... one of the last steps is to apt install ubuntu-desktop. [01:01] is there an equivalent package for Ubuntu GNOME? [01:02] grantwu: ubuntu-gnome-desktop [01:02] Thoss: Well ! that do say the amdgpu driver is loaded . What does X think about the situation ? pastebin ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ' and we have a read . [01:02] genii: Ah, thanks! [01:04] where is the download link of ubuntu 17.10 [01:04] Bashing-om: thanks, working on xorg into. [01:04] fishcooker: the 10 actually stands for Octoboer [01:04] fishcooker: did you want a beta of 17.10? [01:04] sounds good reisio [01:06] fishcooker: probably want #ubuntu+1, then [01:07] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/28q1 [01:07] Thoss: reading - I be awhile . [01:08] I understand, thanks! [01:08] reisio OK tried all those ctl,alt,shift, keyboard scroller...nothing seems to change it... [01:09] Lorne2017: what's the output of 'xrandr' on its own? [01:09] Lorne2017: or DISPLAY=:0 xrandr, if not in X [01:09] Lorne2017: oh I'm sorry, you said scale [01:10] genii BTW: I guess changing the permissions in my Desktop made all those icons disappear from the desktop (although they're still in the folder when I open it with Files) [01:10] Lorne2017: usually alt+space is available for toggling a window to move via arrow keys [01:11] reisio xrandr output is "can't open display" [01:14] reisio output from DISPLAY* cmd is: Screen 0: minimum 8x8, current 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 443mmx250mm 1600x900 60.00*+ [01:15] Lorne2017: 1600x900, that sound right? [01:15] Lorne2017: you've probably altered your dpi settings [01:15] anyone know why this fstab line does work? "/dev/sdb1 /home/ryan/Warehouse ext4 defaults 0 1" [01:15] SaltyCatFish: doesn't? Define 'work' [01:16] reisio: Sudo mount -a does nothing and it doesnt mount on startup [01:16] reisio: But it does exist, i can mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ~/Warehouse [01:16] does lsblk -f show sdb1 ? [01:16] mmm [01:17] it does [01:17] weird right [01:17] no heres the thing [01:17] unrelated: 0 1 is probably not what you want [01:17] This is a second hard drive in a laptop. I got one of those mounts that replaced dvd drive [01:17] oh ok [01:17] (man fstab) [01:17] neat [01:17] ~/Warehouse, via sudo, however, would be root's ~/Warehouse [01:18] which probably has different perms [01:18] ohhhhhhhhh [01:18] reisio Yes - 16x9 is right... so yeah..dpi...poop...how do I fix that? [01:18] but in fstab i have the absolute path [01:18] Lorne2017: this is ordinary Unity/Ubuntu? [01:18] no, sudo ~/ is the user [01:19] Ben64: Thats not the fstab command, im saying the sudo still lets me mount it while fstab does not [01:19] Thoss: No failts there . X is happy .. hummmm -- any hints in ' /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' ? [01:19] have my doubts about that, but I don't use sudo much in this way [01:19] SaltyCatFish: fstab isn't a command [01:19] Ben64: I get that [01:19] Ben64: The command is in the file [01:19] reisio yes. (I'm not smart enough to make it out-of-the-ordinary) lol [01:19] he means 'mount' which utilizes fstab [01:19] Ben64: That i posted already [01:19] /dev/sdb1 /home/ryan/Warehouse ext4 defaults 0 1 [01:19] sorry [01:19] howdy all :) [01:20] sdb1 belongs to root [01:20] SaltyCatFish: what happens if you do 'sudo mount -a' [01:20] Lorne2017: https://askubuntu.com/questions/440958/is-there-any-way-to-set-the-display-scaling-back-to-default-other-than-from-the [01:20] Ben64: it does not mount [01:21] I will check, in the meantime here is my /var/log/apt/history.log... start date: 2017-06-17 is basically the last thing I did. http://termbin.com/k272 I will go get the gpu-manager info. thx [01:21] Ben64: But no errorws [01:21] Bashing-om: see above, forgot to include your name. [01:21] reisio - WOW - that sounds exactly like my problem...thx will read that now [01:22] Thoss: K . [01:22] SaltyCatFish: pastebin the outputs of "mount" and "cat /etc/fstab" [01:22] k [01:23] Ben64: Here is mount https://pastebin.com/mZA1i0ZN [01:24] Ben64: Here is fstab https://pastebin.com/H1EfnS91 [01:25] Bashing-om: here is the gpu-manager info: http://termbin.com/sxdj [01:25] SaltyCatFish: probably has something to do with the encrypted home [01:25] Ben64: Ah ok [01:25] Ben64: ty [01:26] reisio that seemed to work!!!! [01:26] Lorne2017: good, good [01:27] hi [01:27] reisio HALELUUJAAA!!! [01:27] !helpersnack | reisio [01:27] reisio: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:27] Ben64: That was it thanks! [01:27] SaltyCatFish: cool [01:28] !helpersnack | the pope in peanut butter [01:28] the pope in peanut butter: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:28] * reisio rolls eyes [01:28] I'd like to ask for help! [01:28] I headed into a dependency problem [01:28] reisio ...serious dude - you ROCK! (and Jordan_U). Been anxiety-ridden allweekend... [01:29] np man [01:30] https://dpaste.de/E60G/raw [01:30] Thoss: Houstom, We have a problem ; " Kernel Module is not loaded " . what shows ' lsmod | grep amdgpu " . as we struggle to understand what is not going on as X is happy ! [01:35] Bashing-om: saw that, didn't like the sound of it. Here is lsmod info: http://termbin.com/kg3j [01:38] Thoss: Well amfgpu is available . So why is it not loading ? Any hints in the .xsession-errors file in your home directory ? [01:39] checking [01:40] genii, is there a way to like, restore apt to defaults? I really need this working [01:43] gsilvapt: amd64 architecture? [01:43] yes [01:44] Bashing-om: .xsession-errors info: http://termbin.com/h48i [01:45] gsilvapt: Well, you could try something like: wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb then: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite apt_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb [01:45] gsilvapt: Not sure it will do much though. [01:45] What is this package? [01:46] gsilvapt: It is the package of apt itself [01:46] So what, the only solution is formatting? [01:46] What? [01:47] How can I solve this? Formatting the machine again [01:47] ? [01:47] that wget line could well work yes [01:47] gsilvapt: I have not suggested you reformat anything. I have suggested that you manually download the package file of apt and tell dpkg to install it over your current apt [01:48] I know the difference. I'm asking because you said you don't think it won't work and because it seems we ran out of options to try [01:48] gsilvapt: "gsilvapt: genii, is there a way to like, restore apt to defaults? I really need this working" me: "Well, you could try something like: wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb then: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite apt_1.2.15ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb" [01:49] gsilvapt: If that doesn't make something new happen, then yes, I'm currently fresh out of ideas. [01:49] didn't solve the issue [01:51] is it safe to run sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf ? [01:52] apt to defaults .. what repos did you add? ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [01:52] gsilvapt: Not when apt update isn't currently weorking, thats what generates those lists [01:53] oerheks, google-chrome.list kubuntu-ninjas-ubuntu-dev-tools-xenial.list spotify.list [01:53] oerheks: Pastebin shows his issue is with the main archive.ubuntu.com and not a ppa [01:54] Thoss: Ouch ! Desktop not starting . But I do not have the skills to know why or to find out the why/ Hope others here can pick up my slack . [01:54] oerheks: His pastebin from before: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24895358/ [01:55] NNow I'm getting another error message, after installing apt deb package: Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error was: 'BrokenCount > 0' [01:55] And then has a reference for missing dependencies... [01:55] At least thats new [01:55] Bashing-om: ok, thanks for your help... I am too ignorant, but still wondering why I have this libmircore and libmirclient stuff... installing... didn't think I was using mir things on 16.04 [01:56] And a message popped up: The package system is broken [01:57] is your system mounted RO perhaps? [01:57] Changing server source doesn't fix the issue... [01:57] I don't know what that is. How can I check that? [01:58] gsilvapt: Can you pastebin a list of files in /var/cache/apt [01:58] Thoss: think the mir stuff is just the developers getting ready for the switching from unity . setting up . [01:58] Whatever this is, is also causing the same issue in sbuild [01:58] Can try the dpkg command on the apt version which is in there instead, if it hasn't been autocleaned [01:58] genii, you mean ls /var/cache/apt ? [01:58] gsilvapt: Yes [01:59] google-chrome.list kubuntu-ninjas-ubuntu-dev-tools-xenial.list spotify.list [01:59] Wait, wrong clipboard [01:59] apt-file archives pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin [02:01] I think if you ran sbuild in root for a different architecture instead of in a chroot that might explain the missing release files. Because it would be trying to fetch files for whatever architecture you specified at the time instead of the one you're using [02:01] I'm definitely thinking sbuild is involved somehow in this now, anyhow [02:02] Probably. I've been packaging software so I use sbuild to test package builds [02:03] As I said before, I have deleted /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys yesterday, and then it stopped working [02:03] I needed to, otherwise sbuild wouldn't work [02:06] I want to install a steam game on my fresly formatted hard drivebut I'm getting a disk write error, i chowned it for my user. [02:07] genii, how can I try that thing of different architectures? last attempt before going off to bed [02:08] To answer my previous question it appears that if you want to re-install Ubuntu preserving /home/ on a btrfs Ubuntu install (using the default Ubuntu subvolume configuration) you just have to use manual partitioning and set the partition containing your btrfs filesystem to be mounted at '/'. The installer will then actually mount the '@' subvolume of that filesystem as '/' and will mount the '@home' [02:08] subvolume to /home/. Still installing, but I'll know for sure if it did as well as I had hoped when I reboot into my new re-install :) [02:08] I'm able to install it anywhere else, just not on my other drive. Anyone know what's up? [02:08] gsilvapt: I haven't used sbuild for many years, sorry [02:09] i can try to build one of my packages in a different architecture, is that what you need? [02:09] gsilvapt: Specify amd64 arch. [02:11] My schroot was configured as amd64 [02:11] now I recall [02:12] I'll have something interesting for you, probably [02:12] 1 sec [02:13] genii, https://paste.ubuntu.com/24896128/ [02:13] I did the command on line 1 and those are the update fails I was getting before [02:21] gsilvapt: Exit chroot, please pastebin results of: apt-config dump [02:22] I'm out of chroot, I only use it to test builds [02:22] genii, https://paste.ubuntu.com/24896203/ [02:27] !info linux-image-generic xenial [02:27] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.79.85 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 13 kB [02:27] Hm [02:31] gsilvapt: Nothing too unusual there, arch matches which is mostly what I was looking for. Although the kernel versions look later than stock xenial [02:31] So nothing glaringly obvious [02:33] i switched my gpu from gtx 770 to gtx 1070 and im booted to gui now. do i have to do anything else to ensure max performance [02:33] gsilvapt: At this point we probably could have reinstalled your system a couple times by now in the time we've spent ;) But it's a curious puzzle as to why exactly it's doing this [02:40] Is "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link" a common error and is there a fix? [02:47] n0ise: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-375/+bug/1662860 [02:47] Launchpad bug 1662860 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 (Ubuntu) "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link" [High,Confirmed] [02:49] Yeah I saw, just making sure it's not been fixed yet. [02:49] thanks genii. === Bock is now known as Sauvin [02:52] n0ise: I'd just recommend installing from the graphics-drivers ppa instead for now [02:52] Does the symlink bug even matter? [02:58] Since it makes he nvidia driver not install properly, yes [02:59] * genii notes "High" and "Confirmed" on the bug report [02:59] It seems to be working for me.. am I missing something? [03:00] Probably if you run something that requires using EGL it may do something unexpected [03:01] alright well i'll just wait untill that happens, I don't use this computer for anything usefull anyways. [03:01] Thanks man. [03:12] any ideas why this command xterm -hold -e "cd /tmp && ls && bash" opens bash in my home folder instead of in /tmp? [03:13] signing off for the night, I'll transfer my desktop issues to the ubuntu forums, thanks for the assistance. [03:13] So [03:14] I have a 5mb/s connection. [03:14] I want to pull over 140gb of data from my server to my desktop [03:14] What's the fastest way? [03:14] floppy disks. [03:14] For some reason it takes about as much time to login to Gnome Shell for me (Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, fresh install) as it does to boot the whole rest of the OS. What is the best way to troubleshoot and hopefully fix this? [03:15] no serious. [03:15] My guess would just be to use curl or something. everything besides p2p services would be about the same. [03:16] but why. [03:16] ; - ; [03:16] nostalgiccloud: rsync with --compress [03:17] Rysnc is piss slow. [03:17] 500kbs/. [03:20] nostalgiccloud: What is the download / upload limit on the internet connection for the server? What is the same for the Desktop? [03:20] 250/250, 5/1 [03:21] Can someone please help me reply to a vger.kernel.org majordomo mailing list? I have created an account, verified and been successful making a post. However, I cannot see how I can reply to that post? I do not receive an email of my post (I only see it from the online web archive), and I dont seem to get messages from others either. [03:22] nostalgiccloud: So for some reason rsync isn't able to use your full download bandwidth. 1 theory is that it's limited because it's only one flow. Can you wget a file via http at better than 500 kbs? [03:23] I need to test it [03:23] I know rsync is slower because it's not paralellized, it also doing checksums on every file [03:24] nostalgiccloud: Unless your local IO is absolutely abismal the checksumming should not be your bottleneck here. [03:24] I'm checksumming 15gb+ files. [03:25] nostalgiccloud: That's irrelevant. There's no way that checksumming files is as slow as 500kbs. [03:29] SO [03:29] I need to give everyone in world access to a directory. [03:29] nostalgiccloud: If for some reason http is faster and you have enough free space then you could tar.xz all of the files (.xz will be better compressed than .gz) then unpack it all again once it's completed downloading. [03:29] I've tried chmod --recursive ugo+rw [03:30] chmod -R 0755 still wont let apache access the damn directory. [03:32] nostalgiccloud: Don't try to share the directory directly via apache, it will be harder and less efficient. tar.xz it and be sure to use "wget --continue" so that you can continue the transfer where you left off if it gets interrupted. [03:33] Jordan_U: I'm just testing to see if I can even saturate my pipe [03:35] ~350kb/s [03:38] nostalgiccloud: Can you download two files at once and get a greater total bandwidth? [03:38] No idea, I'm busy tar'ing it [03:39] I'll download it overnight [03:39] nostalgiccloud: If so it would appear that your ISP is getting more traffic from your neighbors than it can handle and is throttling per flow rather than per household. That, or you have something else in your home using bandwidth that you should just stop so you can utilize your whole pipe for this. [03:40] can memtest be run from a recent ubuntu live disk? it doesn't seem to be given as an option for 17.04 [03:40] Jordan_U: I can hit 3mb/s downloading [03:40] Just not using rsnyc [03:40] rsync* [03:41] Amazing, I'm using 687% cpu :^) [03:41] "Memtest is not available by default in grub on any UEFI booting machines which may explain your difficulty in finding it in the grub menu." wat [03:41] ses1984: its clear [03:41] If you're using GRUB for uefi it wont show there === ReimuHakurei_ is now known as ReimuHakurei [04:13] If I start a program that does't have a keyboard interrupt programmed in, how do I terminate it from the command line properly? [04:17] jayjo: try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/520107/how-to-kill-a-script-running-in-terminal-without-closing-terminal-ctrl-c-doe [04:30] I have a problem with rhythmbox, I get this error: (rhythmbox:19637): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_provider_load_from_path: assertion 'path != NULL' failed [04:30] any ideas why this command xterm -hold -e "cd /tmp && ls && bash" opens bash in my home folder instead of in /tmp? [04:30] Rhythmbox:ERROR:rb-ext-db.c:364:impl_constructor: code should not be reached [04:30] owen1_: you need to tell bash what dir you want to be in [04:31] Jonno_FTW: interesting. i'll take a look at bash's manpage [04:34] Jonno_FTW: the man page is a bit overwhelming ): would you mind pointing me to some links or other source of docs? [04:38] google.com [04:40] if you just want to start a shell in a specific folder you can change ~/.bashrc file [04:41] When I run `bash` it opens in the current working directly [04:41] Changing the bashrc is not the right way of going about this, I think. [04:42] Typing "cd /tmp && ls && bash" directly into gnome-terminal on my system works as expected [04:42] Jonno_FTW: (: i googled a lot. i am trying to open multiple terminals from a bash script. each terminal in a different path and i want to run a few comands inside. everything is working but i can't figure out how to keep the bash in the correct folder. [04:42] Is there a reason why you need to open a terminal [04:43] or a reason why you need to spawn a new shell [04:43] grantwu: yeah. every morning whan i start my day i have a few terminals that i need to open. one is my server, another one is a different server etc. [04:43] i still want the ability to be able to use those terminal windows. [04:44] think of web development. you have a service in Go, a website that uses npm for local server etc. [04:44] on my system, typing `xterm -hold -e "cd /tmp && ls && bash"` works as you would expect. [04:44] let me try again. [04:45] grantwu: and you find yourself inside /tmp ? [04:45] perhaps you should try --noprofile --norc [04:45] Maybe there is something weird going on there [04:45] i am using i3 if it matters. [04:45] yes, I find myself inside /tmp [04:46]
