Langjan | Good morning guys | 06:19 |

Kilos | morning everyone | 07:20 |
Kilos | what broke Langjan | 07:20 |
Kilos | sorry was outside | 07:20 |
inetpro | goeiemmore | 09:36 |
inetpro | Kilos: see, I made it even | 09:36 |
inetpro | bushtech_: and you still have not figured out the cause? | 09:37 |
bushtech_ | Hi all, inetpro. No, still won't start up unless I ngo through recovery mode. have tried this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/808863/ubuntu-upgrade-16-04-1-failed-to-start-load-kernel-modules But thesudo apt-get update | 09:55 |
bushtech_ | sudo apt-get -f install | 09:55 |
bushtech_ | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:55 |
bushtech_ | doesn't work | 09:55 |
inetpro | bushtech_: then how do you go in eventually, or is this another machine? | 10:00 |
inetpro | oh... you said it | 10:00 |
inetpro | recovery mode | 10:00 |
Kilos | lol | 10:01 |
inetpro | ai! | 10:01 |
Kilos | hmm... | 10:01 |
bushtech_ | yes, hitting ctrl C after viewing details in dpkg makes it boot | 10:01 |
Kilos | bushtech_ what i see rings a bell | 10:02 |
inetpro | strange one that | 10:02 |
Kilos | what is the error message you get | 10:02 |
Kilos | sorry i dont see it | 10:02 |
Kilos | ok i go read that link | 10:02 |
bushtech_ | failed to start load kernel modules | 10:03 |
Kilos | what do you see with sudo apt update | 10:04 |
bushtech_ | it is up to date. no failures listed | 10:06 |
Kilos | i think i had that once, whenever it was, on grub menu can you choose to boot from an older version? | 10:06 |
Kilos | and in synaptic can you choose edit and fix broken | 10:07 |
bushtech_ | btdt. grub show 3 versions 81,82,83. none of them will boot | 10:07 |
inetpro | systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service | 10:07 |
Kilos | oh my | 10:07 |
bushtech_ | inetpro. you want me to run that? | 10:08 |
inetpro | yep | 10:08 |
bushtech_ | let me just ssh so I can paste | 10:10 |
Langjan | Hi Kilos inetpro bushtech_ | 10:10 |
inetpro | hi Langjan | 10:10 |
Langjan | hoe gaan dit? | 10:11 |
inetpro | bushtech_: apt-get update && dpkg --configure -a && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get -f install | 10:11 |
inetpro | or run each step between the '&&' on it's own | 10:12 |
Kilos | hi Langjan | 10:12 |
inetpro | '&&' means run the next command if the previous is succesful | 10:12 |
Kilos | ok dankie en daar | 10:12 |
Langjan | Alles wel dankie Kilos en by jou? | 10:12 |

* Kilos whispers boot-repair | 10:15 | |
Langjan | Any hope for a USB stick that is not seen? Win 7 reinstalls its software then also cannot see it | 10:15 |
Kilos | try disk utility | 10:16 |
inetpro | read the comment at https://askubuntu.com/questions/891628/ubuntu-16-04-failed-to-start-load-kernel-modules#comment1394733_891628 | 10:16 |
Langjan | also does not see it | 10:16 |
Kilos | um | 10:16 |
inetpro | "Turn off secure boot in your BIOS." | 10:16 |
Kilos | testdisk | 10:16 |
inetpro | bushtech_: have you tried that ^^ ? | 10:16 |
Langjan | testdisk in linux or windoze? | 10:17 |
Kilos | Langjan if testdisk does not see it through it away | 10:17 |
Kilos | oh you in dows | 10:17 |
Langjan | no but tried there | 10:17 |
Kilos | use tetdisk in buntu | 10:17 |
Kilos | testdisk | 10:18 |
Langjan | ok so | 10:18 |
Kilos | maybe sudo testdisk | 10:18 |
Kilos | might need to install it first | 10:18 |
Langjan | oh not an app? | 10:18 |
Kilos | i have had no probs for so long i forget all these things | 10:18 |
Kilos | ye its in synaptic | 10:19 |
Langjan | yes I see it | 10:19 |
Langjan | thks | 10:19 |
Kilos | sudo apt install tetdisk | 10:19 |
Kilos | testdisk | 10:19 |
Kilos | sticky s | 10:19 |
Kilos | hi poppin | 10:19 |
Kilos | wbb asap | 10:20 |
Kilos | here | 10:21 |
bushtech_ | inetpro: the apt-get update and the dpkg --configure -a.? | 10:21 |
inetpro | bushtech_: what's with that? | 10:21 |
bushtech_ | maybe I should just try that set umpteen times and a see | 10:22 |
inetpro | do you see failures there? | 10:22 |
Langjan | Kilos, testdisk is installed but does not show | 10:23 |
Kilos | than that stick is most likely history sir | 10:23 |
Kilos | with all the important stuff on it | 10:23 |
Langjan | No, testdisk does not show | 10:23 |
Kilos | has it been near a magnet | 10:24 |
Kilos | oh | 10:24 |
Kilos | it runs from cli man | 10:24 |
Kilos | sudo testdisk | 10:24 |
Kilos | choose no records | 10:24 |
Kilos | or no lgs if it sees it | 10:24 |
Kilos | logs | 10:25 |
inetpro | bushtech_: I need to go out quickly, will be back later | 10:26 |
inetpro | there has to be a solution for this... I hope you find it soon | 10:26 |
Kilos | boot-repair | 10:26 |
bushtech_ | np inetpro thanks | 10:26 |
Kilos | bushtech_ try boot-repair | 10:26 |
Kilos | sudo apt install boot-repair | 10:27 |
Langjan | No, testdisk does nor pick it up either | 10:27 |
Kilos | then its scrap Langjan | 10:27 |
Langjan | ok thaks good to know | 10:28 |
Kilos | try see with gparted | 10:28 |
Kilos | might just see it | 10:28 |
Langjan | no it does not | 10:28 |
Kilos | then its scrap | 10:28 |
Langjan | nor does disks | 10:28 |
Langjan | another q plse | 10:29 |
Kilos | yes? | 10:29 |
Kilos | whats a q | 10:29 |
Langjan | Skype has upgraded had to do new install of the app | 10:29 |
Langjan | now it shows in the ;launcher and the panel | 10:29 |
Langjan | I want to delete the icon in the launcher but it sticks like vrazy | 10:30 |
Kilos | whew ask if any mate users are here | 10:30 |
Kilos | right click it? | 10:30 |
Langjan | no Ubuntu 16.04 unity | 10:30 |
Kilos | drag it to the bin or onto desktop | 10:31 |
Langjan | I get "lock to launcher" and "quit" but neither does anything | 10:31 |
Langjan | jumps back | 10:31 |
Kilos | why you want to remove it? | 10:31 |
Langjan | clutters my launcher | 10:32 |
Kilos | lol i have no idea sir | 10:32 |
Langjan | tried Ezane, no success | 10:32 |
Langjan | Also tried menu editor | 10:33 |
Langjan | eish! | 10:33 |
Kilos | why you think they dumped unity | 10:33 |
Kilos | its only one piece of clutter man | 10:34 |
Kilos | live with it or break something else trying to fix it | 10:34 |
Langjan | ok | 10:34 |
Kilos | what happened to mate | 10:35 |
Langjan | Mate is live and well on my laptop | 10:35 |
Kilos | ah | 10:35 |
Kilos | put ate on desktop as well | 10:36 |
Kilos | mate | 10:36 |
Langjan | desktop runs good on unity with 8 GB RAM and ssd | 10:36 |
Kilos | look in synaptic what it is called, maybe mate-desktop | 10:36 |
Langjan | No,no - very happy with unity | 10:37 |
Kilos | then you can choose at login which one to use | 10:37 |
Kilos | lol | 10:37 |
Kilos | ok | 10:37 |
Langjan | I'll play around a bit, maybe go timeshift and start over with Skype | 10:38 |
Kilos | first remove skype completely | 10:38 |
Kilos | even in the . files | 10:38 |
Langjan | Good idea, then reinstall carefully | 10:38 |
Kilos | then try remove the thing | 10:38 |
bushtech_ | Kilos: installed boot-repair but when I try to run it the first error is : Failed to connect to Mir | 10:38 |
Kilos | then only install skype again | 10:38 |
Kilos | inetpro whats that mean | 10:39 |
Kilos | bushtech_ just try running boot-repair from an install dvd or stick | 10:40 |
Kilos | i dont know anything about mir | 10:40 |
Kilos | let me try find you a link | 10:41 |
bushtech_ | seems I need to install first | 10:41 |
bushtech_ | Mir that is | 10:41 |
Kilos | https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/boot-repair-disk-64bit.iso/download | 10:42 |
Kilos | then you run it from a cd or stick | 10:42 |
bushtech_ | from search: 3 | 10:42 |
bushtech_ | down vote | 10:42 |
bushtech_ | accepted | 10:42 |
bushtech_ | 10:42 | |
bushtech_ | Mir is the next-gen graphical display server created by Canonical that in the future will sostitute the X server. | 10:42 |
Kilos | oh my | 10:43 |
Kilos | i have fallen far behind | 10:43 |
bushtech_ | please ignore rubbish in between | 10:43 |
Kilos | you can still install stuff hey? | 10:43 |
bushtech_ | yep server connected to internet | 10:44 |
Kilos | last resort normally other than boot-repair is open synaptic and typ in kernel in serch and then right click and reinstall everything that shows as installed | 10:45 |
Kilos | do the same with linux | 10:45 |
Kilos | take time but normally will reinstall whats broken | 10:46 |
bushtech_ | thanks wiil try that | 10:46 |
bushtech_ | stupid question: what is default on 16.04 or am I running unity? | 10:47 |
Kilos | i have no idea, when i switched to kde i didnt bother with unity anymore | 10:49 |
Kilos | 16.04 might be gnome | 10:49 |
Kilos | ask Langjan | 10:49 |
Langjan | Hi, ? | 10:49 |
Langjan | You need Unity default boot settings bushtech_ ? | 10:51 |
bushtech_ | I dont want to willy nilly install a new whachamacallit | 10:53 |
Kilos | thats why reinstall in synaptic what is already installed | 10:53 |
bushtech_ | if I'm running gnome dont want to change now | 10:54 |
Kilos | maybe clean out your archives first | 10:54 |
Kilos | copy them to a folder somewhere | 10:54 |
bushtech_ | need a better search than kernel, too much stuff listed | 10:54 |
Kilos | it could be any one thats faulty | 10:55 |
Kilos | did you look in synaptic edit fix broken | 10:55 |
bushtech_ | says fixed dependency problems at the bottom | 10:57 |
Kilos | ok then reinstall grub-pc and grub-pc-bin i think they were | 10:58 |
Kilos | type grub in synaptic and reinstall all grub stuff that is already installed | 10:58 |
Kilos | and look for error messages | 10:58 |
Kilos | i dont think grub will reinstall into a faulty kernel | 10:59 |
Kilos | gimme 10 i need t take a pill sigh | 10:59 |
Kilos | wb Langjan | 11:05 |
Kilos | any news bushtech_ | 11:05 |
Langjan | Kilos, looks like the new Skype is set up to clutter the launcher and the panel | 11:05 |
Kilos | you can always do like me and save home and reinstall | 11:05 |
Kilos | oh my Langjan | 11:06 |
Kilos | i havent used skype for about a month, even removed it from my cell. it eats data even when you dont use it | 11:07 |
Langjan | I restarted so it could autostart and installed itself same way, does not heed "quit" | 11:07 |
Langjan | Oh, ok | 11:07 |
Langjan | Data fortunately not a prob here | 11:07 |
Kilos | lol | 11:07 |
Langjan | Looks like I have a permanent unnecessary feature in my launcher...and it's Windoze-based. lmga! | 11:11 |
Langjan | England 7/2 after 6 overs... | 11:13 |
Kilos | lol | 11:14 |
bushtech_ | picked all grub stuff in synaptic for reinstall. seems stuck on "Setting up grub-pc-dbg(2.02~beta2-36ubuntu 3.11)... | 11:21 |
bushtech_ | yep, definitely stuck there | 11:52 |
bushtech_ | no looks like it was successfully reinstalled but doesnt show as completed when reinstalling | 12:05 |
Kilos | hmm... | 12:07 |
Kilos | where are the clever guys | 12:07 |
Kilos | all i can think of is if it doesnt boot now then go with kernel and boot stuff reinstall | 12:08 |
Kilos | maybe even try boot-repair again | 12:09 |
Kilos | i cant do techie stuff but normally if you hit something with a large enough hammer it moves | 12:09 |
bushtech_ | havent managed to run boot-repair yet, still wondering about the effects of Mir | 12:11 |
Kilos | will mir take over from xserver | 12:17 |
Kilos | lol may google pitfalls of using mir on whatever version you are using | 12:18 |
Kilos | maybe its even better | 12:19 |
bushtech_ | lets hear what inetpro reckons when he gets back | 12:20 |
paddatrapper | Kilos: with Ubuntu dropping Unity, I doubt it. Wayland is the future replacement for X | 12:20 |
paddatrapper | Hi everyone | 12:20 |
bushtech_ | know ver little about this stuff, wayland got something to do with Mir? | 12:21 |
Kilos | hi paddatrapper please help bushtech_ | 12:23 |
paddatrapper | bushtech_: mir and wayland are both display "servers", they replace X in managing input and actually rendering stuff on the screen | 12:24 |
Kilos | i wonder if reinstall ubuntu-desktop could help bushtech_ | 12:24 |
paddatrapper | Kilos: I don't have any more insights... Dunno what's happening there | 12:24 |
Kilos | kernel error | 12:25 |
Kilos | how does one reinstall the kernel stuff thats needed for booting | 12:25 |
bushtech_ | gotcha paddatrapper, what is the default in 16.04 ie what am I running? | 12:25 |
paddatrapper | bushtech_: X | 12:25 |
paddatrapper | Kilos: apt install <kernel package>? | 12:26 |
Kilos | your error is long before x even starts working isnt it | 12:26 |
bushtech_ | duh OK thanks | 12:26 |
Kilos | now just to find which kernel package | 12:27 |
Kilos | thats why i use synaptic reinstall everything kernel related | 12:27 |
Kilos | then you must have the right one as well | 12:28 |
Kilos | i dont know if systemback still exists but you could make a stick to install with and everything will be as it was before | 12:32 |
bushtech_ | if I search for kernel in synaptic should it list my 3 ie 81 to 83? | 12:32 |
Kilos | mine made a 6g install stick | 12:32 |
Kilos | paddatrapper what does that mean? | 12:33 |
paddatrapper | bushtech_: what are the package versions? | 12:34 |
Kilos | synaptic should show everything installed on your system | 12:34 |
bushtech_ | under kernel search the only thing it lists as installed is kerneloops-daemon | 12:34 |
Kilos | and under linux ? | 12:34 |
paddatrapper | bushtech_: can you use apt? | 12:34 |
bushtech_ | yep | 12:34 |
Kilos | there are headers and stuff, they all related i think | 12:34 |
paddatrapper | apt-cache search linux | 12:35 |
bushtech_ | freenode will freak if I paste that lot | 12:36 |
bushtech_ | something I should look for? | 12:37 |
Kilos | pastebin it | 12:37 |
Kilos | https://bin.snyman.info | 12:37 |
bushtech_ | shall I just stick it in there | 12:39 |
Kilos | yes thats where we put stuff for the brains to diagnose | 12:39 |
bushtech_ | k | 12:39 |
* paddatrapper will be back later | 12:42 | |
bushtech_ | finally got it copied, 3700 lines, sorry inetpro | 13:04 |
Kilos | lol wow | 13:08 |
pavlushka | ahoy ZA! | 13:09 |
inetpro | uname -r | 13:13 |
inetpro | and to get all your installed kernels: | 13:15 |
inetpro | dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | grep ii | awk '{print $3}' | 13:15 |
bushtech_ | uname -r | 13:17 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0-83-generic | 13:17 |
bushtech_ | ubuntuserver# dpkg -l | grep linux-headers | grep ii | awk '{print $3}' | 13:18 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0-81.104 | 13:18 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0-81.104 | 13:18 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0-83.106 | 13:18 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0-83.106 | 13:18 |
bushtech_ | 4.4.0.83.89 | 13:18 |
inetpro | Kilos: you and your re-installs :-) | 13:29 |
inetpro | bushtech_: your problem is unlikely to be in the boot sector | 13:29 |
Kilos | hahaha only way i used to be able to keep going inetpro | 13:29 |
inetpro | more like a systemd issue | 13:29 |
Kilos | kernel probs are only for clever guys to sort | 13:30 |
inetpro | bushtech_: have you looked around for a SECURE BOOT option in your BIOS? | 13:32 |
inetpro | sudo dmidecode | head | 13:34 |
inetpro | that ^^ should show you your BIOS vendor and version | 13:34 |
inetpro | or more detailed: | 13:36 |
inetpro | sudo dmidecode -t bios | 13:36 |
inetpro | Secure Boot is a feature designed to prevent malicious software and unauthorized media from loading during the boot process. This option is enabled by default, but can be turned off in UEFI / BIOS. | 13:38 |
inetpro | unfortunately it can also prevent Linux and other non-Windows operating systems from booting | 13:39 |
bushtech_ | inetpro: no, have not looked in bios. But this server has been running for a while like this. but mb replaced a while ago so could be an issue | 13:39 |
inetpro | if we know what bios and version you have we can perhaps help you to find where that option is | 13:41 |
bushtech_ | first bit:SMBIOS 3.0 present. | 13:41 |
bushtech_ | Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytes | 13:41 |

inetpro | see if you can spot an image there that looks like yours | 13:46 |
bushtech_ | k | 13:46 |
inetpro | I'd say try enable Legacy Support and disable Secure Boot | 13:49 |
inetpro | you can always reverse it if that doesn't help | 13:50 |
inetpro | just make a note of what it was | 13:50 |
inetpro | more info on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:52 |
bushtech_ | mine is quite a fancy screen with spinning fans | 13:53 |
bushtech_ | but I can see that secure boot is enabled | 13:53 |
bushtech_ | is legacy support somewhere in the bios? | 13:55 |
bushtech_ | cant see that I can change the secure boot | 13:55 |
inetpro | in that link above you should often have seen it on the same page in the bios | 13:56 |
inetpro | bushtech_: you have 64bit Ubuntu installed? | 13:58 |
bushtech_ | https://www.google.com/search?q=American+Megatrends+Inc+2003+secure+boot&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-5tf-tYvVAhUpDsAKHSEkBJUQ_AUICygC&biw=1116&bih=516#imgrc=GJ7kH7ObuC32NM: | 13:58 |
bushtech_ | that one looks like it could be mine | 13:59 |
inetpro | your link shows all images | 14:01 |
inetpro | click on the image and choose "View image" then send us the link | 14:02 |
bushtech_ | ah sorry | 14:03 |
bushtech_ | http://sanuja.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/asus_bios_ez_mode.jpg | 14:03 |
inetpro | interesting | 14:03 |
bushtech_ | no it's 32 bit | 14:05 |
inetpro | eish! | 14:05 |
bushtech_ | when a doctor says interesting to me I have to change my undies | 14:06 |
inetpro | haha, I'm not a doctor :-) | 14:07 |
inetpro | but you certainly seem to have a more modern bios screen there | 14:08 |
inetpro | not one that I have come across yet | 14:08 |
inetpro | sudo dmidecode -t system | 14:09 |
bushtech_ | damn, don't have the box anymore so cant tell you what it is | 14:10 |
inetpro | what do you have for System Information? | 14:10 |
Kilos | rofl | 14:10 |
inetpro | Manufacturer and Product Name | 14:10 |
bushtech_ | where would I find system info? | 14:12 |
inetpro | bushtech_: sudo dmidecode -t system | 14:16 |
inetpro | bushtech_: do you have Windows installed as well, or not? | 14:17 |
bushtech_ | no windows | 14:17 |
inetpro | https://www.technorms.com/45538/disable-enable-secure-boot-asus-motherboard-uefi-bios-utility | 14:18 |
inetpro | looks like quite a process to disable a simple thing | 14:19 |
inetpro | not sure I understand all that | 14:19 |
inetpro | "straightforward once you know the steps" | 14:20 |
bushtech_ | heh yes btdt | 14:21 |
bushtech_ | normally takes days to sort out the mess afterwards | 14:21 |
inetpro | ai! | 14:22 |

inetpro | yikes! | 14:26 |
bushtech_ | running out of undies | 14:27 |
inetpro | well it has to be ASUS based on the BIOS screen | 14:28 |
inetpro | sorry, that link above won't help much, I think | 14:28 |
bushtech_ | prett sure its an asus board | 14:29 |
inetpro | lsb_release -d | 14:30 |
inetpro | bushtech_: ^^ | 14:31 |
bushtech_ | from archliux: systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service | 14:32 |

inetpro | ok, so maybe, let's look into that... can you identify the module that failed? | 14:34 |
inetpro | hmm.... but I see you already posted that above | 14:36 |
bushtech_ | systemd uninformative: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. | 14:37 |
inetpro | have you tried booting with a live 64bit disk? | 14:38 |
inetpro | what kinda specs are we looking at in terms of CPU and RAM, maybe time to abandon 32bit | 14:40 |
bushtech_ | from journalctl: Failed to find module 'usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x2303' | 14:41 |
bushtech_ | hmmmm | 14:42 |
bushtech_ | could that be it? | 14:43 |
inetpro | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1519102 | 14:44 |
bushtech_ | where would that little line be hiding? | 14:44 |
inetpro | oops... ignore that | 14:44 |
inetpro | from journalctl: Failed to find module 'usbserial vendor=0x067b product=0x2303' | 14:45 |
inetpro | that looks interesting | 14:45 |
bushtech_ | cat /etc/modules contins that line | 14:46 |
bushtech_ | hash it and reboot? | 14:46 |
inetpro | lsusb | 14:48 |

inetpro | Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port | 14:49 |
bushtech_ | bollocks. Hope its not the connection to my weather station | 14:49 |
inetpro | can you try disconnect that maybe? | 14:50 |
inetpro | and then boot | 14:51 |
bushtech_ | I've got a ST labs usb to serial connection plugged in from my weather station | 14:51 |
bushtech_ | can do | 14:51 |
Kilos | wow what a job this turned out to be | 14:53 |
Kilos | i have slept and you still going | 14:53 |
inetpro | Kilos: I like going the long routes :-) | 14:54 |
Kilos | yes i know | 14:54 |
Kilos | but your normally get it fixed mr fixit | 14:54 |
Kilos | i actually miss the days i needed help all the time | 14:54 |
bushtech_ | unplugged usb/serial but still wouln't reboot | 14:55 |
inetpro | you get to understand more of it going the long route | 14:55 |
inetpro | bushtech_: ai! | 14:55 |
Kilos | how long has this thing been running | 14:55 |
Kilos | new install or upgrade or what caused the prob | 14:55 |
bushtech_ | what? | 14:55 |
inetpro | bushtech_: I didn't expect it to be the issue | 14:55 |
bushtech_ | now I'm going to try hashing out the usb line in /etc/modules | 14:57 |
inetpro | worth a try but I don't think it's that | 14:57 |
inetpro | bushtech_: have you tried booting with a live CD, just to see whether it works? | 14:59 |
bushtech_ | no | 15:01 |
bushtech_ | ok rebooting with hashed line didnt work as you expected Sir | 15:01 |
inetpro | re-installing is the absolute last option | 15:02 |
inetpro | there has to be a good reason why it failed | 15:02 |
bushtech_ | been trying for weeks to find it | 15:03 |
inetpro | wow, you are a very patient man | 15:04 |
bushtech_ | btw that was the only line in /etc/modules | 15:04 |
bushtech_ | been able to boot it so not a critical issue | 15:05 |
* inetpro has nothing defined in /etc/modules | 15:05 | |
bushtech_ | yeah, something must have added it. just need to check at 5.30 that the weather station posts | 15:07 |
inetpro | bushtech_: you only work on cli from this machine? | 15:30 |
inetpro | bushtech_: have you looked at /var/log/kern.log yet? | 15:39 |
bushtech_ | currently ssh'ed in from windows machine via mobaxterm | 15:39 |
inetpro | and did your weather station work? | 15:39 |
bushtech_ | yep weather station posted | 15:41 |
inetpro | bushtech_: do you have Windows 10 installed? | 15:44 |
bushtech_ | on my windows laptop yes | 15:45 |
bushtech_ | masses of stuff in kern.log | 15:47 |
bushtech_ | something I should look for? | 15:47 |
bushtech_ | spotted this: \_SB_.PCI0:_OSC invalid UUID | 15:47 |
hibana | hmm... | 15:47 |
hibana | inetpro got lost in the ether somewhere | 15:48 |
=== hibana is now known as inetpro | ||
inetpro | bushtech_: sorry, am not sure what I missed | 15:48 |
inetpro | last thing I had was this "bushtech_: do you have Windows 10 installed?" | 15:49 |
bushtech_ | on my windows laptop yes | 16:07 |
bushtech_ | masses of stuff in kern.log | 16:07 |
bushtech_ | something I should look for? | 16:07 |
=== inetpro_ is now known as inetpro | ||
inetpro | ai! | 16:09 |
bushtech_ | lyk my jy voel soos ou geniss- beswaard | 16:10 |
* inetpro don't like it when someone/something pulls the rug out under my feet | 16:11 | |
bushtech_ | patience my young paduan | 16:12 |
bushtech_ | no time limit on this- go eat supper, etc | 16:14 |
Kilos | lol | 17:19 |
bushtech_ | wat lag jy. dis ernstige stories die :) | 17:22 |
inetpro | Kilos: ja nee man, wat gaan aan? | 18:48 |
bushtech | dink hyt al gaan slaap | 19:12 |
inetpro | ja lyk my so | 19:14 |
inetpro | seker van skok uitgepaas omdat die Sharks verloor het | 19:15 |
bushtech | inetpro dankie vir die hulp waardeer dit | 19:15 |
inetpro | bushtech: groot plesier meneer, maar weet nie so mooi of ek met enigiets gehelp het nie | 19:17 |
bushtech | monitor nog kern.log maar sien niks snaaks nie | 19:17 |
bushtech | 2 koppe darem beter as een | 19:17 |
Kilos | sjoe | 19:17 |
inetpro | bushtech: maar as jy kans het moet jy die live CD probeer | 19:18 |
bushtech | aha man nog wakker | 19:18 |
inetpro | Kilos: welkom terug | 19:18 |
Kilos | was dozing guys, had another chest day | 19:18 |
Kilos | danke | 19:18 |
inetpro | ai! | 19:18 |
bushtech | hoop jys ok | 19:18 |
Kilos | yeah it was a mild one | 19:18 |
inetpro | bushtech: probeer eers jou normale 32bit iso en dan probeer jy bietjie die 64bit... en kyk of jy enigiets wys word | 19:19 |
bushtech | what is involved in changing from 32 bit to 64 bit? | 19:19 |
bushtech | great minds | 19:19 |
Kilos | big job | 19:19 |
Kilos | everything changes | 19:19 |
bushtech | complete reinstall rewuired? | 19:20 |
Kilos | only some multiarch packages are used still i think | 19:20 |
bushtech | required | 19:20 |
Kilos | i think so yes | 19:20 |
inetpro | most developers are ahead of the game on high end devices with the latest and greatest speeds | 19:20 |
Kilos | cant just do an upgrade i think | 19:20 |
inetpro | they don't care about 32bit anymore | 19:20 |
bushtech | dont know if I got the strentgh to set up raid and rsync again | 19:21 |
Kilos | night guys, have a good night and rest well | 19:21 |
Kilos | lol | 19:21 |
bushtech | nag lekker slaap | 19:21 |
* Kilos waves | 19:21 | |
Kilos | dankie baie | 19:21 |
bushtech | inetpro: I suppose it should be 1604 live cd. | 19:25 |
bushtech | got lots of prev versions lol | 19:25 |
inetpro | you want the normal Unity version? | 19:26 |
inetpro | that would be http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:27 |
bushtech | duh. unity x Mir kde etc mean nothing to me | 19:27 |
bushtech | just go with the vanilla version | 19:28 |
bushtech | less $%#@ | 19:28 |
bushtech | the way I feel now juming through hoops to reboot is less hassle than seting up raid and rsync again | 19:30 |
bushtech | oh and trying to remember how I got my weather sation to work on ubuntu | 19:30 |
bushtech | sation/station | 19:31 |
bushtech | just thinking about it ugh | 19:32 |
inetpro | haha, I know that feeling | 19:33 |
inetpro | you're getting too old sir | 19:33 |
bushtech | heh no I just dont know enough | 19:33 |
bushtech | things like that take days of googling | 19:34 |
inetpro | please note, I didn't say you should just do the install | 19:34 |
inetpro | just run the system from CD and see whether it works | 19:34 |
inetpro | or from DVD for that matter | 19:35 |
inetpro | I mean USB | 19:35 |
bushtech | stck? | 19:35 |
inetpro | yep | 19:35 |
bushtech | oh yeah | 19:35 |
bushtech | Works great but seems to eat usb sticks | 19:36 |
bushtech | cant get them back to normal | 19:36 |
inetpro | if it works from your old 32bit live disk then we know there's something that can be fixed | 19:37 |
inetpro | no man, with usb you can do the installation and then clean it again for other uses | 19:37 |
bushtech | just busy hunting for that 32 bit iso. must be on one ofthe computers arond here | 19:38 |
bushtech | with me they seem to ebcome one purpose. wipe them and nothing can read them | 19:39 |
inetpro | you just need gparted to format a flash disk in VFAT or old DOS format again | 19:39 |
inetpro | gparted made things quite easy these days | 19:40 |
bushtech | ah found it ubuntu-16.04.1-server-i386x | 19:40 |
inetpro | server? | 19:40 |
bushtech | yep its a server hence raid rsync | 19:41 |
inetpro | oh but then you don't need the GUI at all | 19:41 |
bushtech | theoretically yes but practically no | 19:42 |
inetpro | I mean, the server version doesn't come with GUI | 19:42 |
inetpro | if you want a GUI then you install the desktop version | 19:42 |
bushtech | yep I add it | 19:42 |
inetpro | hmm... | 19:42 |
inetpro | what do you need the GUI for? | 19:43 |
bushtech | its a server I use server version | 19:43 |
bushtech | check on weather station, etc | 19:43 |
inetpro | you have a link for me? | 19:44 |
bushtech | much as I like cli, it doesnt work for everything | 19:44 |
bushtech | for weather station? | 19:44 |
inetpro | if you want the server version you need http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.2-server-amd64.iso | 19:44 |
inetpro | bushtech: yes | 19:44 |
bushtech | https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=INORTHWE6#history | 19:45 |
inetpro | that's yours? | 19:45 |
bushtech | have a good look. If I start reloading gonna be a month of Sundays before you see it again | 19:46 |
bushtech | yes | 19:46 |
inetpro | golden rule: don't rush into it | 19:47 |
bushtech | wise words I tell myself every time | 19:48 |
inetpro | do you have a link to where they tell you how to install it? | 19:48 |
bushtech | just dont listen to myself | 19:48 |
bushtech | ooh, that will be weewx | 19:49 |
bushtech | I dont shudder when I think about it so prob wasnt too painful | 19:50 |
bushtech | http://www.weewx.com/docs/debian.htm | 19:51 |
inetpro | you don't have a webcam there, do you? | 19:51 |
bushtech | no, keep looking at them but too expensive | 19:51 |
inetpro | cool | 19:52 |
bushtech | but then I am looking at night imaging | 19:52 |
* inetpro still dreaming of setting up a weather station | 19:52 | |
bushtech | not for the weather but the wild critters running around here at night | 19:53 |
inetpro | doesn't look too difficult actually | 19:53 |
inetpro | but always easier said than done | 19:53 |
bushtech | dont think so | 19:53 |
inetpro | why not just install the real thing and do it on Debian? | 19:53 |
bushtech | whereabouts you, you might have a station running wunderground near you | 19:54 |
bushtech | explain please | 19:54 |
inetpro | you know the Heatherdale Cemetery perhaps or Bentleys Country Lodge? I'm close to that in Pretoria North / Karenpark | 19:56 |
bushtech | lets have look | 19:58 |
inetpro | Ubuntu Server should be perfectly fine as well | 19:58 |
inetpro | you don't have a spare machine there perhaps? | 19:59 |
bushtech | waterkloof | 19:59 |
inetpro | you don't want the weatherstation to stop running while you battle with the installation | 19:59 |
bushtech | got a small zbox | 19:59 |
bushtech | i wont lose records just the posting to wunderground will stop | 20:00 |
bushtech | weather st stores about 3months. | 20:01 |
bushtech | should manage the changeover in that hah | 20:01 |
inetpro | how much bandwidth does it use? | 20:01 |
inetpro | probably insignificant | 20:01 |
inetpro | this one looks closest to me https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/FAWB | 20:02 |
bushtech | wonderboom south https://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.32.68262 | 20:02 |
inetpro | what are we talking about in terms of hardware needed? | 20:02 |
bushtech | ah ok | 20:02 |
bushtech | davis vantage vue does it you dont need the most expensive davis | 20:03 |
inetpro | and you get that where? | 20:04 |
bushtech | there is an agent in SA | 20:05 |
inetpro | eish! R12,770 | 20:05 |
inetpro | http://www.killerdeals.co.za/davis-vantage-weather-station-p-1627.html | 20:05 |
bushtech | cw Price | 20:06 |
bushtech | doent sound like a killer deal to me | 20:07 |
bushtech | think I paid about 6K, but that was 7 years ago | 20:08 |
inetpro | will have to remain lower down in my list of priorities for now | 20:09 |
bushtech | and just remembered you need a data logger as wel | 20:10 |
inetpro | anyway, I don't see where you need any GUI, so please don't install a GUI | 20:10 |
bushtech | what did you mean here: why not just install the real thing and do it on Debian | 20:11 |
bushtech | inetpro: | 20:13 |
inetpro | because at the to it says, "weeWX: Installation on Debian-based systems" | 20:14 |
bushtech | one of which is ubuntu | 20:15 |
inetpro | which is fine | 20:16 |
bushtech | I run 2 servers, like having them the same, then I can cross check | 20:17 |
inetpro | thing with these installation guidelines, they don't always give you the whole thing from A to Z | 20:18 |
bushtech | yes, have found that many times | 20:19 |
bushtech | then you need a crysta balll | 20:19 |
inetpro | looks like even the Raspberry Pi would be a good candidate as a weather station | 20:21 |
inetpro | what specs do you have for your server? | 20:23 |
bushtech | as a weather station or handling the data from a ws | 20:24 |
bushtech | specs? | 20:24 |
inetpro | the amount of CPU and RAM for the server with the serial port | 20:25 |
bushtech | I3 with 4g ram | 20:25 |
inetpro | specs = specifications | 20:25 |
bushtech | heh I know the abbrev. | 20:26 |
inetpro | haha | 20:26 |
inetpro | looks like an overkill if you ask me... unless you use it for other purposes as well | 20:26 |
bushtech | it only an i3 cos mb was replaced 2 months a go | 20:27 |
bushtech | wouldnt call it exactly high spec | 20:28 |
inetpro | how often does it upload to wunderground.com? | 20:30 |
inetpro | looks like once every 30 minutes | 20:31 |
bushtech | correct | 20:31 |
bushtech | when this station was set up data out here was via satellite @ R3K for a gig per month | 20:32 |
inetpro | yikes! | 20:32 |
inetpro | Raspberry Pi 3 Model B features a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 clocked at 1.2 GHz with 1GB of LPDDR2-900 SDRAM | 20:33 |
inetpro | looks like that ^^ is more than enough even | 20:33 |
bushtech | oh I'm sure | 20:34 |
bushtech | but hanging 3hdd off it hmmm | 20:34 |
inetpro | R629 | 20:35 |
inetpro | how much HDD space do you use? | 20:35 |
bushtech | just installed unetbootin on server, no idea how you would run it from cli | 20:36 |
bushtech | 2 backup drives are 1tb each | 20:36 |
bushtech | just need to backup 2 windows laptops | 20:36 |
inetpro | ah, so there's the answer to my question above | 20:37 |
bushtech | oh and my kodi backup | 20:37 |
inetpro | question / statement | 20:37 |
inetpro | kodi, for what? | 20:38 |
inetpro | Music, Movies, TV Shows and Photos? | 20:39 |
bushtech | the kodi backup. your kodi setup files | 20:39 |
bushtech | no music etc . thats on the other server | 20:39 |
inetpro | interesting | 20:39 |
bushtech | this time I dont need new undies | 20:40 |
inetpro | haha :-) | 20:41 |
bushtech | Ive got 1604.1 here shouls I rather download 1604.2? | 20:42 |
inetpro | doesn't mater that much, your first update with 16.04.1 will just download much more files than if you start with .2 | 20:44 |
bushtech | just want to run it as a livecd | 20:45 |
inetpro | did you download the desktop version? | 20:53 |
bushtech | no downloads yet | 20:53 |
inetpro | the server version has no live cd thingy, if I remember correctly | 20:53 |
inetpro | s/thingy/interface/ | 20:54 |
bushtech | ah see wahat you mean | 20:55 |
bushtech | but if im gonna start buggering around might just as well download 1604.2 Which is only 64 bit afaik and install it | 20:57 |
inetpro | just do it! | 21:00 |
inetpro | if you have the data, of course | 21:00 |
bushtech | i have the data these days, thats why you're suddenly seeing me here again | 21:02 |
bushtech | but I'm going with server version again | 21:02 |
inetpro | cool | 21:03 |
bushtech | so how far is nearest weather station to you? | 21:05 |
inetpro | install the whole thing, as if you don't have the weather station connected to it, on another machine just to experiment | 21:05 |
bushtech | hmm yeah can do | 21:06 |
bushtech | shouldnt bend the zbox | 21:06 |
inetpro | oops, as if you have the weather station connected* | 21:08 |
inetpro | daspoort is probably closer to me but that's on the other side of the mountain | 21:09 |
bushtech | yeah no good, totally diff wether on either side | 21:09 |
inetpro | time to go sleep | 21:12 |
inetpro | good night | 21:12 |
bushtech | night inetpro thanks | 21:13 |
inetpro | you're welcome | 21:13 |
