[00:00] !nomodeset [00:00] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:02] marvin42: Having problems ? [00:03] ddellav, ok... well my ultimate goal is to copy the folder & contents of ~/.config/deluge to /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge and change read/write access permission for the copied file to the deluge user. What specific commands should I enter to do this? [00:04] if the permissions are already set correctly for ~/.config/deluge then using the -p flag for cp will preserve the [00:04] *them [00:05] Bashing-om : Yes. I've added the nomodeset to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as instructed but when I try to 'update-grub' I get the error : '/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).' [00:05] so cp -pvR ~/.config/deluge/* /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/ [00:05] I'm accessing the installation via a Live CD using chroot [00:05] BlackDalek the -v is for verbose and -R is for recursive [00:06] marvin42: Ouch ! // lemme ponder a tic . [00:06] ddellav, the permissions have not been set yet. I assume they are still only set for my user since they are in my home ~ folder [00:06] BlackDalek ok, then after the cp is done, you would change the owner: chown deluge /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge -R [00:07] and then chmod 644 /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/* -R would set read+write for owner, and read only for group and other [00:08] though i am not familiar with the requirement of deluge specifically [00:08] marvin42: Are you presently in the install ? sure makes no sense the system can not see the root partition . [00:08] ddellav, the cp command failed.. it says "cp: failed to access '/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/': Permission denied" [00:09] BlackDalek you'd need to run the command as root, since your user won't have access to that folder [00:09] put sudo in front of it [00:09] sorry.. forgot to sudo it [00:09] Bashing-om, nope, I'm currently in the Live CD session. I'm accessing the faulty installation via chroot. I've mounte /dev/sda1 (the faulty installation) to /mnt and then chroot /mnt /bin/bash [00:13] ddellav, hmm... ok, the cp and chown commands you suggested seemed to work, however the chmod command did not. [00:13] BlackDalek that also needs to be run as root [00:13] BlackDalek what error did you get? [00:14] ddellav, I did... error is "chmod: cannot access '/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/*': No such file or directory" [00:14] marvin42: OK . Need to set up a full change root if you going this route - no, do not tell me that you are new to linux - knowing to do a chroot ! There are much easuer ways to insert that nomodeset - we only need it temporarily . [00:15] Bashing-om, I was taught how to chroot 30 minutes ago, on #nvidia [00:15] BlackDalek drop the * at the end, that was my mistake [00:15] ddellav, ok, that worked [00:16] you'll need to chmod the folder itself to have execute privileges or else it won't be traversable. So chmod 755 /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge [00:16] BlackDalek ^ [00:16] marvin42: Ya want to go the chroot route ? Or try and set the boot parameter in grub's kernel boot line ? [00:17] I would ask this in a backtrack channel but th eonly one I can find is #backtrack-it and it has 5 ppl. ... If anyone is familiar wiht dual booting bt on top of an existing ubuntu 16.04 installation please holler at me [00:17] Bashing-om, whatever you think it's best [00:18] Bashing-om, booting on the faulty installation I'm able to get to the command line by booting on recovery mode [00:19] ddellav, ok [00:19] !grub [00:19] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:19] marvin42: Best is a personal experience . easiest is to boot to the grub boot menu and edit the kernel command line . Can you boot to grub ? ( GRand Unified Bootloader ) [00:20] Bashing-om, sometimes pressing the Shift does it, sometimes it doesn't, it's weird. So, booting into GRUB what would I do? [00:21] dualboot | countingdaisies [00:21] marvin42: We can also work from recovery . Will need to enable networking and set the file system to read/write . ( that too is another way ) .

[00:27] Bashing-om, what terms do I remove 'quiet' and 'splash' OR all the terms between 'linux' and 'splash' (Im not seeing them atm) [00:27] Hi bashing .... so my usb will not allow me to change permissons and I need to recovver files. I'm working from the live usb atm [00:28] *remove, *'splash'? [00:28] Maynard: recover off the internal hard drive ? then 'sudo' should give you access . [00:29] Hi. For some reason on 16.04 even when I try to hide the files and folders, nautilus shows them on next run. How do I change the behavior to always hide the hidden ones? [00:30] on my desktop i have 2 partitions, one with win 10 and one with ubuntu. i completely filled up the ubuntu disk and only windows will load. how do i remove/browse files form the ubuntu partition from windows? [00:30] marvin42: Tou should see a line similar " linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=dbd69ed2-530c-4409-8f5a-a3f1ea41fc67 ro quiet splash " Is this a desktop install of 'buntu ?

[00:32] Bashing-om, it's Lubuntu 17.04 [00:32] lotuspsychje: I know that, but nautilus shows all my files and folders that start with . by default. Want to change that [00:33] Bashing-om, I'm going to give a try thanks [00:34] marvin42: In Grub's boot parameter screen there is that line . [00:34] boriseto: did you doublecheck nautilus/preferences/appereance/hidden folders? [00:34] lotuspsychje: yeap. [00:34] lotuspsychje: even in dconf [00:35] boriseto: thats weird, ubuntu version and nautilus version? [00:36] Bashing-om trying to recover from unbootable usb.. sudo what? I formatted backup usb to ext4 and it will not allow access to move files... I tried as root as well.

[00:39] boriseto: lets see if its overall or user bounded [00:40] lotuspsychje: i need to logout :| [00:40] boriseto: yeah, normally by default should hide folders with .

[00:41] wait [00:41] think i got it [00:41] lotuspsychje: yeah found it [00:42] lotuspsychje: in dconf instead the nautilus settings it uses the org->gtk->settings->file-chooser [00:42] lotuspsychje: in there it was chosen to show the hidden files [00:42] Bashing-om did you catch my last? [00:42] lotuspsychje: that's why it showed me the hidden files by default [00:42] it's a strange setting though [00:43] boriseto: also relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1171852 [00:43] Launchpad bug 1171852 in Nautilus "Hidden files are displayed by default" [Medium,Fix released] [00:43] Yeah, like it says: The "show-hidden-file" key is deprecated and ignored.

[00:51] Bashing-om, after the UUID there were the following terms: ro priority=low acpi=off noapic nolapic ed=\on quiet splash $vt_handoff . And So, I deleted 'quiet' and 'splash' and inserted nomodeset in that place. The error continues, the login appears, and all is frozen (except the cursor, it's blinking) [00:53] marvin42: K . Now why all the alternate boot parameters ? Why do you think any of them are needed ? Messing with acpi is power management ( Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ) not something to enter into lightly . === marlinc_ is now known as marlinc [00:58] Bashing-om, they were defined as wild guess when I was battling to install Lubuntu. Nothing was working, so in the live version before install I activated those parameters. Shall I delete them? [00:58] test [00:58] OK [00:59] Bashing-om I was simply posting the lsusb output.

Presently we do not even know that the install is in a consistent state . [01:06] okay, found it via Settings > Users and Groups :) [01:06] we gotta love Linux [01:07] Bashing-om, yes, I did so. If I hadn't defined those parameters the live installer wouldn't boot. I'm going to try to delete them... [01:07] Maynard: Maybe - just maybe testdisk too see that USB drive ? Until it is seen nothing can be done . [01:08] Bashing-om ROger that [01:08] Maynard: marvin42 Got to be away for a few minutes - back in about 15 minutes .

[01:12] failed to mount [01:15] I'm trying to recover files in live mode from usb. I ran testdisk and it came up in desktop but failed to mount. [01:15] Any suggestions? [01:16] Maynard: to recover data, use photorec on testdisk [01:19] Maynard: or boot your system with recoverymode? [01:19] !recovery | Maynard [01:19] Maynard: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [01:19] Bashing-om, deleted them all, added the nomodeset, but same error occurs [01:22] hi, when i plug my phone on the wall is charges, but on the usb port it doesn't... [01:22] does anyone have any idea why? [01:22] !recovery [01:22] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [01:23] I'm unfamilar with testdisk. Howdo I run photorec? [01:24] Also when I do the live usb there is no recovery mode option. I've never seen that option ever. Been running 14.04 for years and it's neer shown that option. [01:25] Maynard: recoverymode, you can load with entering grub, then choose ubuntu(recoverymode) [01:26] It is showing (in testdisk) options Analyze. andvanced. geometry. options. quit. [01:26] I for get how to get to grub..... f2 when it tries loading? [01:27] Maynard: hold shift at boot, until you get in grub [01:28] Maynard: photorec is a part of testdisk, sudo photorec after the testdisk install [01:28] OK will try that. I assume since this is in live mode I'll have to re-register or can I use the same email to register? [01:30] Maynard: if you already registered your nickname, /msg nickserv identify yourpassword here [01:31] so same email... got it. [01:31] hi, when i plug my phone on the wall is charges, but on the usb port it doesn't... any idea why? [01:31] In photo rec it is asking desination to save files [01:32] drwxr-xr-x 999 999 540 23-Jul-2017 01:28 .. [01:33] Maynard: look at below, and press the right key to confirm destination [01:34] there are two drwxr-xr-x 999 999 [01:34] one is 40 other is 540 [01:34] Maynard: i think by default, photorec saves in your /home [01:34] I don't know what those even mean. [01:35] Maynard: are you sure you choose the right partition to recover and not your usb media? [01:36] Maynard: thats what you wanted to do right, recover data of your ubuntu system harddisk? [01:36] Yes [01:36] does Ubuntu have native support for the Nvidia GeForce 10 series like GeForce 1060 ?? [01:36] who is familiar with higan game emulator here?

[01:40] oops [01:40] *testdisk [01:41] Maynard: how about you plug out your hd physically and recover your data and reinstall ubuntu fresh after? [01:42] HD is usb. No internal HDD due to SATA failing to read. I've been running solely on usbs [01:43] marvin42: Back to the keyboard . What laptop are we working with that lubuntu does not install properly too ?

I run a 4Gflash for my installl bootable live usb and the 128G flash is my HD [01:45] the 128 is what I need to recover files from. [01:46] I have a 32G I use for my backup nut I formatted to ext4 and read-only permissions [01:46] *but [01:46] not nut lol [01:47] marvin42: Integrated graphics on the Asus . By chance do you have the nvidia chip set disabled in bios ? [01:48] I can't seem to get permissions to change either on the 32G [01:49] Bashing-om, I cannot access the bios, I don't have a clue. I had it working well with the binary drivers. This was due to changing to nouveau drivers and installing the corresponding package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [01:51] marvin42: Good to know . We need to boot to a terminal somewhere and find out the graphic's card and then install the correct version proprietary graphic's driver . [01:53] Any suggestions or just go with recovery?

To do so we have to have a terminal . [02:07] Bashing-om, b) I'm on it atm [02:09] Bashing-om, dpkg encountered several errors because the kernel of this live session is different from that on chroot. I have downloaded the packages for 340 and I'm now going to boot into recovery mode to get a command line to reinstall them. brb [02:09] marvin42: Great -> at the reconvery menu "enable networking' then 'root shell' . Once in the root terminal we reset the file system to read/write . [02:09] Bashing-om, aye aye Sire!

[04:46] Maynard420: you probably need a 'sudo chown $user ' [04:46] ok pretend I know nothing here lol [04:47] so sudo chown my name /dev/sdc right? [04:48] Maynard420: no, the mountpoint, not the device [04:49] could also use $user like i said [04:49] wait its $USER [04:50] Maynard420: Where is the USB device mounted from ? /media ? show us ' ls -al /media// and we can then be the more specific . [04:50] so how do I find the mount point if it's not the sdc? [04:51] I think it's media [04:51] mount | grep sdc [04:51] will show it if it's mounted [04:52] Maynard420: With the device plugged in , what shows ' mount ' for the mounbt point ? [04:52] it is mounted [04:54] crap I lost that... can you repeat [04:54] ? [04:55] I am already root@ubuntu-studio:~# [04:56] Maynard420: get out of root [04:56] k [04:57] ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio:~$ << do you have the mountpoint yet [04:58] I lost that . how do I get the mountpoint? [04:59] Got kicked off. [04:59] mount | grep sdc [05:03] It won't copy to here [05:03] so what do I do with that line? [05:04] it'll say something like /dev/sdc on /this/is/the/mountpoint [05:05] yes I see it now what do I do with it? [05:05] sudo chown $USER mountpoint [05:07] sudo chown $USER /media/ubuntu-studio/Backup entered [05:07] now what? [05:10] Ben64 ? [05:11] I know this has too be a retardedly simple set of lines [05:11] anyone? [05:11] excuse me, how can i fix this problem? [05:11] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1015216E75198A89 [05:12] can i just nano /etc/hosts and https that instead of http? [05:12] Maynard420: uh thats it [05:13] kristhian: no and no and no [05:13] << kristhian: https or http doesn't belong anywhere in /etc/hosts [05:13] Checked permissions..let's see if it'll let me back this up now. [05:16] I've been looking for HOURS with not ONE f*&%(*OKR forum that says enter mount | grep then insert the /output after sudo chown $USER [05:16] Ben64, how do i fix that? [05:16] Maynard420: i answered you after like 3 mins... [05:17] also try to watch the language here, even if censored it's usually not well received [05:17] kristhian: you need to get the key, should be instructions on the ppa page [05:17] I censored it for that reason lol [05:19] Finally backing up now. Thanks. I could've been done with a fresh install HOURS ago if someone somewhhere had put such a simple answer on a forum [05:22] kristhian: Try as : ' sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1015216E75198A89 ' . to get the key . [05:24] Another stupid question here. Transfer began at 50MB/s and now barely hits 5. I have opened nothing new... why does it slow down? Is there some setting that throttles it down? [05:24] cache at first now it's probably actual transfer speed [05:25] yep [05:25] got it now Bashing-om thanks tho [05:25] ARghhh... no wonder. I put it in the only 1.0 slot. Should I cancel and move it or am I going to mess things up? [05:25] i forgot where is the directory of the ppa's located [05:26] what is the location of it btw? [05:26] may i ask? [05:27] Maynard420, you put a USB drive into a usb 1, and you get 5 mbps? [05:27] leftype yes [05:28] can't type [05:28] kristhian: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [05:28] aw, yes that's its [05:28] it8 [05:28] thanks [05:29] anyone? [05:29] Maynard420: Did you *copy* or did you "move"? If you're just copying then I would recommend starting over. If you did some kind of "move" operation then the question becomes less clear and I'd want more info. [05:29] says copying files [05:30] Maynard420: Patience please. Comments that simply say "anyone?" clutter the channel and are unproductive (and are considered rude by some). [05:30] Maynard420: Did you drag the files from one place to the other using nautilus (the default GUI file manager in Ubuntu)? [05:31] I just highlighted all. CLick n drag [05:31] Wasn't there a bug in nautilus that slows down transfer speeds? [05:32] Maynard420: I would stop and retry. If the data is very important then excercise extra caution to make sure that you don't accidentally do something you didn't intend. [05:33] Maynard420, depending on how much info you need to copy, I would do it again via usb 2.0 port, and via command line [05:34] Maynard420, how much info are you copying? [05:34] 15G [05:34] It's taking forever to cancel [05:35] Yeah, that makes sense [05:35] Maynard420: It may be waiting for the current file to finish before cancelling *or* it may be waiting for the data already read into cache but not written yet. [05:36] "writing data to device" there is data that need written blah blah do not remove. [05:37] Maynard420: Dod you understand what we're referring to with cache? [05:37] *do [05:37] It's just a few movies and a handful of pics...just yank the plug or will I mess it up? [05:38] Maynard420, you'll corrupt the pictures most likely [05:38] Only thing I know of cache is how to empty it from chrome lol [05:39] Maynard420: So, when you're copying a file from one place to another the first thing that happens is that the data is read into RAM, then the data in RAM is written to the disk. [05:41] Maynard420: If you have a lot of free RAM, and your HD is much faster than your USB drive (which it is in your case) then the kernel may read for example 1 GiB of files into RAM, and make it look to any application reading from the USB drive like it has already been copied there, but in reality it will take a long time to write all of that GiB of data that's in RAM to your UB 1.0 disk. [05:42] Jordan_U, if he pulled the drive, plugged it back in, and restarted, would that cancel it faster, then overwrite the corrupted file? [05:44] leaftype: Yes* *(There are a few things that could go wrong but probably won't, so whether or not this is a good idea depends on how important the data is and how they're going to use it later) [05:44] thanks [05:44] leaftype: You're welcome. [05:47] Sorry I had to reboot in order to switch usb ports. [05:48] Maynard420, I can't think of any reason you'd have to reboot your computer for that... [05:48] last I saw was it write to RAM then to USB. [05:48] It's inn live session. [05:49] all ports are being used. [05:52] This lappy is a Frankenstien. 2006 HP w/ no internal HDD. SATA won't read from motherboard (?) issue. 16G RAM and I run a 4G to do fresh installs cause it is always crashing. A 32G flash for file backup and a 12g 3.0usb to act as my HD. [05:52] sorry 128G not 12 lol [05:54] Make sense yet? BAHAHAHAHA! [05:55] Maynard420, you're booting from an external HD, and copying a 15Gb file to a 32 Gb flash drive, and both your external HD and the flash drive are on USB 2.0 port [05:57] Maynard420, right? If either the flash drive or the external HD are on a USB 1.0 port, it's going to take a long time. That's when you need patience [05:58] 4G is the bootable live USB. 32G is for the backup files. 128G is what I use as my HD. All flash drives. [05:58] Maximum thoroughput on usb 1.0 I think I just read is 12 Mbps, but you can expect roughly half that because usb is stupid. So... 15 GB at 5 MBps is about what you should expect. Your previous rate is about right. [05:59] that's going to be slow and painful [06:00] The 4 ports are 1-1.0, a 2.0 and 2-3.0s The backup is UN fortunately a 2.0 flash so that slows things but I that's why I have so little for backup. The only 3.0 port and 3..0 usb is the one I run as my HD. [06:02] Like I said Frankenstein. And then I have to run a cooler cause HP has a crap ventilation and runs too hot. So, all 4 ports get used. [06:02] It's a shame the BIOS won't read SD card. Would be faster..... [06:03] I mean BIOS won't set to "boot from SD" [06:03] right, but speed will be limited by the slowest one in the chain. You're SOL for transfer speed [06:04] I know but it was in the 1.0 now it only bottles down tot the 2.0 rather than before when the back up was getting sent to the 1.0. [06:05] *1.0 port [06:07] 5 minutes remaining now vs 40 minutes when it was in the 1.0 port. [06:14] Any idea why Ctrl+5 may not be working in starcraft and the browser? It shows keypressed in xev === nocaberi is now known as Bock [07:37] Are AMD GPU drivers still problematic on Ubuntu? [07:38] I'm trying to decide between nVidia GTX 1050 and AMD Rx 560 [07:39] bomb: If you can compile and use kernel 4.12.0 (latest kernel), the amdgpu drivers work beautifully. I am using a Radeon RX 460 and have faced no problems whatsoever with the fully open-source amdgpu driver [07:41] linux-phaedrus: Oh amdgpu seems to be provided by AMD itself. that's great [07:42] bomb: Yes, it is the long awaited mainlined open source AMD GPU driver set. the updated, cleaned up version only landed in kernel 4.12.0 [07:45] linux-phaedrus: i never compiled custom kernel before, and i have things to do. is it a painful process? should i just install 17.10 daily builds which comes with 4.13? [07:52] no need to compile, use one of these instead: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [07:57] that's nice [07:58] what's the status of Nvidia drivers on Linux? [08:28]
