=== sunrunner20_ is now known as sunrunner20 [01:04] I'm using Lubuntu, and I can't figure out how to turn off my laptop's touchpad. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried just about everything. === Schnabeltierchen is now known as Guest66612 === Schnabel1 is now known as Schnabeltierchen [01:25] hi [01:25] keepass is mad [01:26] I copied kdbx file and it says invalid signature [01:26] what does it want? [01:29] hi, can I reinstall Ubuntu within Ubuntu to roll back my computer to how it was right after I installed Ubuntu? Basically the same that could be done with the livecd, but without it [01:31] dckx: Not without a backup or without a live environment that isn't using the disk that you are installing to. [01:32] rypervenche: I see. I am creating a livecd now, but my main concern is not being able to reinstall everything in the same partition, and mess something up. As in reinstalling the Swap where the Swap is now, and home where home is now, etc. I mean, I have only installed ubuntu on blank partitions before, and have partitioned during the installation process [01:33] if that makes sense [01:35] dckx: You just need to make sure that you map everything to the correct partitinos upon reinstallation. if you like, we can help you along the way. [01:35] You just need to give us the output of: "df -hT" and "sudo blkid" on your current machine, and then you can connect to IRC on the liveCD and we can help you make sure you get everything right. [01:36] nacc, the rebuild of 17.04 does the "video tearing" even with no updates at all - fresh install.... [01:37] rypervenche: ok, great, thanks. I'm windows now downloading ubuntu again. I'll create the livecd, boot back into ubuntu, run those commands, and then boot from the livecd and connect to irc. I will have to use a webclient, right? Right now I'm using quassel [01:40] i'm running 16.04 on an nvidia tx-1 (aarch64). I want to run a 32-bit binary on it -- Is there an ARM version of `ia32-libs`? [01:40] (right now bash flatly refuses to execute the file) [01:47] grym: What binary? [01:48] Jordan_U: a native client for some tensorflow model. I'm running a Nvidia TX1, which is an arm v8 board with full CUDA support === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [01:55] grym: I feel like that should be an easy question to answer, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer. If nothing else, I expect you could create a 32 bit chroot environment and run your programs there. [01:55] Jordan_U: so on x86_64, you can apt-get ia32-libs. I don't know what the name, if any, of `aarch32-libs` is [01:56] the TX1 is aarch64 [01:56] nvidia's support is less than useful so far [01:56] I have a (hopefully) quick question if you guys don't mind... [01:57] This is probably kind of an unorthodox scenario [01:59] grym: Can you just install the needed libraries like "sudo apt install foo:aarch32"? [02:00] Jordan_U: yes, if i knew what they were named [02:00] but i have no idea [02:00] so i was hoping the channel might [02:01] I built a new pc recently and the first thing I installed is Ubuntu 17 (with a 20gb partition on a 64gb SSD, storage held on a 1TB hard drive) and that went fine. Then I installed Windows 10 on a partition (on that same 64gb ssd) I preconfigured as ntfs for Windows to boot off of and installed it there. Now the Windows bootloader is taking priority and I can't boot into my Linux partition. What should I do? Since I installed Windows [02:01] after Ubuntu, is it possible that the Grub bootloader won't list Windows once I get it to take priority, and if so, how to I remedy that? [02:04] grym: To be clear, I mean "sudo apt install packagename:architecture". So if I wanted to install GNU hello (hello world example) for i386 I would run "sudo apt install hello:i386" which will install a 32 bit hello with all of its dependencies. So if I know that the program needs libc6, I would "sudo apt install libc6:aarch32" (though aarch32 may not be the proper name apt expects, and you may also need [02:04] to manually add the architecture before apt can install from it). === Israphel is now known as Guest857 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel [02:06] Jordan_U: ah, i see where we're missing each other. The binary i'm trying to run is not, and does not plan to be, apt- installable. (it's on some random mozilla gitub page). In order to run it, i believe i need the ability to run aarch32 on aarch64, and that abaility may be provided by an apt-able package. [02:07] mobu_: Your boot firmware should still have an option to boot Ubuntu. Find it, then run "sudo grub-install" to make Ubuntu first in the priority again and "sudo update-grub" to add an entry for Windows to the grub menu. [02:07] Okay I'll go try that in an hour and report back. [02:08] I might've just not recognized the partition names. [02:09] grym: No, I understand that. As a quick test, which will likely fail as for bits of this I'm guessing, try running "sudo apt install hello:aarch32" and see what happens. If it installs an aarch32 hello, then you'll have an aarch32 hello and at least the bare minimum aarch32 libs. From there, it's a matter of finding out what other libraries your binary needs and installing those with apt (appending [02:09] :aarch32) to the packagename. [02:09] Jordan_U: ah, okay. sure, i can give that a go. [02:11] It's an Adata drive and I remember seeing two Adata listings on the boot priority list. I think I tried booting into the other listing and it sent me on a reboot loop. But maybe that was a fluke. [02:14] mobu_: If not, we can fix this from a LiveUSB farily easily as well. [02:17] wouldn't I need root access in my currently installed instance of Ubuntu to fix the problem? Can I do that on live media? [02:18] grym: By the way, it looks like ia32-libs doesn't exist anymore even on amd64 systems, as it was a cludge that only existed until proper multiarch support was implemented. === slashd- is now known as slashd === anderson_ is now known as anderson [02:19] Jordan_U: hmm. ok. must have been reading a super old forum post, then. === genpaku_ is now known as genpaku [02:19] okay. thanks. i have enough to go on, so i'll futz around === ilbelkyr_ is now known as ilbelkyr [02:28] grym: I'm curious now. Did "sudo apt install hello:aarch32" work? [02:28] Jordan_U: no, apt couldn't find a package that matches [02:28] (hello:arm32 didn't work either ) [02:30] Jordan_U: best i've found so far is https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/897280/jetson-tx1/jetson-tx1-with-l4t-23-1-doesn-t-support-native-aarch64-binaries-/ but it's two years old and forums are opaque [02:30] and it's kind of the inverse problem [02:31] grym: What is the output of "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures"? [02:34] evening everyone [02:34] can someone give me a hand with a scanner issue please [02:34] https://pastebin.com/gT9hK4wA [02:34] output of simple-scan -d [02:36] grym: If it prints nothing then you may need to "sudo dpkg --add-architecture foo" as explained here: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO . What you should replace "foo" with I don't know. "armel" and "armhf" are valid architecure names, but I don't know if either is the arch you're looking for. [02:37] is it possible to pull u2f keys from ldap using a Pam module? [02:42] hi, I just created a live USb to install Ubuntu 16.04.3. When I boot it, it stops and gives me the following error: [5.118062] ---[end kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). I have tried with two different usb drives. I created the liveUSBs using rufus and universal usb installer. I always get the same error, although creating the liveUSB with rufus and universal usb installer produced different [02:42] booting interfaces [02:42] UEFI is disabled on BIOS [02:43] the error message contains more information before that actual line, which is where the booting process stops. Before, it says 4.923112 Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt [02:43] I just downloaded the ISO image though [02:49] dckx: My guess would be a bad USB drive. Not that I think it's the cause of this problem, but why did you disable UEFI? [02:50] Jordan_U: Hi Jordan, thanks. I tried two different usb drives though, one 4gb (old but I used it to install ubuntu before), one 32gb, (new). Regarding the BIOS, I didn't disable UEFI, it has always been like that. [02:52] dckx: For hardware that supports it, I recommend using UEFI. Often the CSM code paths are less well tested and leave the hardware in an inferior state (disabling features it doesn't think a "legacy" OS can handle for instance). [02:54] Jordan_U: I see. Would UEFI be compatible with having Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.3? This laptop was bought in 2013, it is a sager with pretty standard components. Or should I check each hardware component to see if it supports UEFI? I'm not even clear on what UEFI exactly means [02:55] dckx: Yes, just make sure that both OSs are installed for UEFI rather than BIOS (having one configured for BIOS boot and the other for UEFI is not manageable in any reasonable way). [02:57] Jordan_U: Ok, cool. I will actually reinstall both OSs tonight, so I will try to pay attention and make them both configured for UEFI. The thing is: if I change that setting now that the OSs are configured for BIOS boot (I assume they are) will I mess something up? Will I still be able to boot into Windows, for instance? [02:58] dckx: Changing the setting after having installed the OS is a bad idea, so yes you should plan to change the setting just before re-installing both OSs. [02:58] dckx: But, you still also probably have a corrupt initramfs image for some reason so lets test that. Do you know how to find the md5sum of a file? [02:59] Jordan_U: not really [02:59] Jordan_U: I was thinking about trying again with a new version of rufus, and reformatting the drive before (I saw that on askubuntu as a possible solution) [03:00] !md5 | dckx [03:00] dckx: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:01] Jordan_U 1 or 2 hdd [03:01] change boot [03:01] hdd [03:01] bios [03:03] dckx: First, use that guide to check the md5sum of your iso file to confirm that it downloaded correctly. If it does match then *also* check the md5sum of the file casper/initrd.lz on your USB drive, checking it against the md5sum found in md5sum.txt in your USB drive. If that md5sum doesn't match then you almost certainly have a bad USB drive and should throw it away. "reformating" the drive might mask [03:03] the symptoms of the drive corrupting your data temporarily (or might not) but it won't fix your drive, and you don't want to keep a drive that corrupts data around. [03:04] i use 10 and ubuntu [03:04] Dreaman: I don't understand your question. [03:04] install from usb and rufus [03:04] not for you [03:06] dckx automatic format usb rufus [03:06] and create iso boot [03:06] Jordan_U: md5sum of the iso is good [03:07] Dreaman: thanks, I will do as jordan says first [03:07] ok [03:08] Jordan_U: md5 of initrd.lz also matches [03:09] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25287788/ dckx my laptop ssd is 10 and 100 gb sata is ubuntu [03:10] Dreaman: thanks, I have been using rufus but it still produces a seemingly corrupted liveusb [03:11] 2 os install rufus and usb [03:12] usb stick broken [03:12] will try to create the liveusb yet again [03:12] brb [03:13] dckx: Test casper/filesystem.squashfs as well, since it's large and thus likely that some part of it would get corrupted. It's possible that there is a problem with your USB port on the machine you're installing to. [03:20] I'm using Lubuntu, and I can't figure out how to turn off my laptop's touchpad. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried just about everything. [03:22] plaindave: Have you tried https://askubuntu.com/questions/819789/permanently-disable-touchpad-lubuntu-16-04 ? [03:43] Jabra Evolve 65 headset does not sound good in Ubuntu. When I am in a call, or listen to music, sounds like it uses Voice Changer [03:43] But works perfectly in Windows and Mac [03:44] any solutions? [03:45] The same was the case with Jabra Motion headset as well [03:54] pradeep245: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282285 note the proposed workaround "default-sample-rate = 48000" in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . [03:54] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1282285 in alsa-lib "Sound 'Chipmunks' on playback with Jabra Evolve 65 UC Headset" [Low,Closed: eol] [04:01] Jordan_U No luck. I get the same effect [04:02] pradeep245: Interesting. Could you please pastebin your /etc/pulse/daemon.conf? [04:04] Jordan_U sorry, I did not remove the ; at the beginning of the line. Now that I've removed it and reloaded the daemon.conf, it works [04:04] pradeep245: Great. Please file a new Ubuntu bug report so that hopefully a fix can be made that won't require manual changes by the user. [04:05] pradeep245: ubuntu-bug pulseaudio [04:05] But once I did that, I do not get the Line-out anymore in the list of output sound devices [04:06] pradeep245: Please include a link to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282285 and subscribe me, "jordanu", to the bug in launchpad. [04:06] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1282285 in alsa-lib "Sound 'Chipmunks' on playback with Jabra Evolve 65 UC Headset" [Low,Closed: eol] [04:06] okay [04:07] pradeep245: #pulseaudio may be able to help with line-out going away due to this change. I assume there is a reason the line is commented out by default, and I expect that there is a change that can be made that will only apply to your headset and not affect other devices. [04:15] is there a more appropriate place to go for help with scanners not working with ubuntu? [04:16] Jordan_U: Thanks. Now filing the bug [04:16] Fretegi: You could try http://askubuntu.com . [04:17] any other rooms by chance. been looking for help for 3 days [04:19] Fretegi: Have you treid the first answer here yet: https://askubuntu.com/questions/724366/xsane-fails-to-open-device-invalid-argument ? [04:21] Jordan_U, yup, in fact that was the most recent attempt at it and seemed to cause more issues than fixed. possibly due to me just not being proficient with how apt-get works [04:22] at any rate, i followed that guide, and now it doesnt even see the scanner or recognize the printer in the network section of cups however i can manually add it by navigating to the IP of the printer in cups [04:23] simple-scan used to report seeing the scanner, now it just doesnt see it. im sure i removed something i shouldnt have, but not sure how to see a change log of what was installed or removed and that ppa caused two broken packages which i think is what lead me to where i am now [04:23] so trying to research how to just reinstall all of xsane to see if that gets me back to where i was at elast [04:27] Fretegi: Well, that ppa has the latest development version so even with you doing nothing wrong it's not surprising that it would break things. ppa-purge is the way to go for getting back to where you were. [04:27] !ppa-purge | Fretegi [04:27] Fretegi: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [04:29] thanks guys, trying now [04:29] dang it still wont see my printer [04:31] you know.... my only real experience with ubuntu is linux mint 17.3. on taht install i just installed cups-backend-bjnp and the 'add printer' tool in settings just found it, installed it and was done, printer an scanner work perfect (still do) [04:32] this ubuntu 16.04 install initially it had the same behavior although simple-scan would scan it did see the scanner. now the printer is not see at all. i can manually add it in cups however, but simple-scan is blind to it entirely [04:32] and that last part somehow happened following that upgrade [04:32] still not fixed after purging the ppa [04:33] Fretegi: Hopefully though the problems that were added when you used the ppa are now gone. Is that the case? [04:33] thats the thing, its not [04:33] i had to have removed something but not sure what and not sure how to see what was removed ha [04:34] Fretegi: /var/log/dpkg.log [04:34] another funny development, didnt think to check if the firewall was the issue initially certainly a possiblity [04:36] Fretegi: Well, when you get back to your pre-git-ppa state, here is a ppa that contains stable releases of xsane (newer than included in Ubuntu) : https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-release [04:37] so it seems that the log only starts with the purging of the ppa, nothing before it [04:37] otherwise i am back to that pre-state package wise although functionally not so [04:39] ok so turns out firewall was blocking stuff [04:41] ok so forgive my ignorance.. im coming from gentoo and the whole repo thing is a lot dif.. so when i add a ppa like this and apt-get update, do i need to uninstall the old packages, or is the best way to just do an apt-get upgrade or even apt-get dist-upgrade? [04:46] only dif between the two commands is that dist-upgrade seems to be bringing in stuff that was held back, looks like kernel stuff actually [04:46] Fretegi: You need to add the ppa, "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or using the new apt command "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt full-upgrade". [04:48] Jordan_U, looks like that wants to upgrade my kernel [04:50] ok printer is back to how it was before, setup properly and printed just fine, so were back where we were.. [04:51] ok and simple-scan is seeing it [04:51] and scans! [04:51] wahoo! [04:56] Fretegi: Does that mean it was just the firewall then? [04:57] Jordan_U, very well may have been unfortunately. sadly i didnt even think to look that way until after goofing around with ppa's [04:58] Jordan_U, but on the other hand, this printer/scanner is a little fussy and it is running better on print mode now than before. silly things like ink level monitors and whatnot seem much better so there was benefit no doubt to the upgrade no matter what [04:59] Jordan_U, thank you for the help buddy i really appreciate it. sorry if i came off a bit harsh initially [04:59] ubottu, thanks for your help as well [04:59] Fretegi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:01] Fretegi: :) [05:01] on a side note.. this is my first time using ubuntu as a machine i depend on, always been on gentoo linux. are there any other goofy things that are common to need sorting out? for instance other stuff that the firewall's rules may block out by default that i may want to address? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [05:09] have a good night everyone [05:43] why can't i set my monitor refresh rate to 144Hz when i could before? (1920x1080@144) [05:43] it is hooked into my laptop right now [06:05] (how) can I use a dynamic IP as Hostname in .ssh/config? [06:25] Kartagis: Put the domain name there. [06:26] molgrum: What changed between before and now? [06:26] vlt: it's dynamic on LAN, so domain name doesn't apply [06:29] Kartagis: Put the current IP address in the hostname line of .ssh/config then. [06:30] vlt: I don't want to have to change it every time it changes [06:32] Kartagis: Find someone/something that does it for you. [06:35] Downloading language packs can be skipped during ubuntu installation right ? === thorre_se is now known as thorre [06:39] vlt: i used arch before on a stationary with the screen on DVI Radeon. now i use a laptop with ubuntu and Intel graphics HDMI [06:40] what could be the cause given that info? [06:48] molgrum i accidentally left my computer on and have your question in the scrollback, but for the others, maybe you should repeat your hour-old question :) [06:48] hi. I have this problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/716535/zsh-suggesting-what-packages-to-install [06:48] molgrum and the answer is probably "anything". Try reducing the variables a bit. try your monitor on the laptop on a different distro/os [06:49] i.e. try it on arch (or windows, if that is at all possible) [06:49] but i'm using oh-my-zsh, which includes commmand-not-found as a plugin in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/* [06:49] windows -.- [06:49] it all looks good, but its not working [06:49] okay uhm, so you mean i should install something other than ubuntu on it for it to work? [06:50] molgrum or try it on your desktop with hdmi instead of dvi [06:50] HDMI is lower frequency? [06:50] or what? [06:50] molgrum dude [06:50] stop jumping to conclusions [06:50] Kartagis: You could get a hostname via a free service like https://www.noip.com/free and connect via e.g. ssh user@kartagis.noip.org (instead of via user@ip-address) [06:51] i don't understand what you mean TomyWork [06:51] just asked if HDMI is different in that respect [06:51] than DVI [06:51] it's on LAN glitsj16 [06:51] molgrum i do not know why your stuff doesnt work. i am just trying to help you reduce the amount of difference between a system where your stuff works and where it doesnt [06:51] i appreciate that [06:52] i'll check HDMI on arch [06:52] molgrum but now that you say it, hdmi 1.0 is indeed shitty. if you can, try an hdmi 2.0 cable [06:52] and see if i still get 144Hz [06:52] if i do - something is weird? :) [06:52] then you can probably blame ubuntu :() [06:52] :) [06:53] just like i can with some more stuff... :/ [06:53] that doesn [06:53] t work [06:53] i'm getting arch in a week so i'll see if that works better [06:53] thanks [06:56] Kartagis: https://askubuntu.com/questions/305229/whats-the-best-way-to-ssh-to-machines-on-the-local-network might offer inspiration in that case [06:57] Kartagis: Is its domain name published on the network via avahi? [06:58] Jordan_U: I don't recall doing that. what should I read? [07:00] Hello, is thear any package manager like yaourt on Archlinux on Ubuntu? [07:02] Dump_not: no there is only apt/dpkg on Ubuntu.. and PPA's on launchpad.net [07:02] Kartagis: aptitude has an ncurses frontend if that's what you're looking for. I don't know how similar its UI is to yaourt other than that. [07:05] Kartagis: Never mind, looks like I wasn't really understanding what yaourt was. Is there anything you're missing in particular from apt? [07:06] Dump_not: technically you can also build from source and use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall to create a .deb you can administer via the default Ubuntu package manager.. what exactly are you looking for? [07:07] Jordan_U: something to broadcast its name would be fine. is avahi the way to go? === SWAT_ is now known as SWAT [07:50] hey guys, I use duplicity in a docker container and after recreating the container and make backups I cannot restore anymore [07:50] I always get: https://hastebin.com/cotepiyiha.sql [07:51] can any1 help?

[08:18] wtf :) [08:18] you guys are funny [08:22] I am not getting the option to install alongside windows. What settings do I need to change in windows so that Ubuntu will automatically install alongside it? [08:24] tomeaton17: Is Windows installed for booting via UEFI or via BIOS? Did you boot Ubuntu's installer via UEFI or via BIOS? [08:24] tomeaton17 which ubuntu version? and is it a desktop live cd, or a server installer? === Attoy_ is now known as Attoy [08:24] Windows is via uefi and I launched install via uefi.

Windows should be detected, hopefully the boot info results will help us understand why it isn't. [08:30] Jordan_U: its telling me that my mawk version is wrong [08:31] tomeaton17: sudo apt install gawk [08:32] pastebin.com/8BVxf0Kq [08:33] I just went to archlinux channel and ask "why on arch rvm can't install 2.1.2 version, but on ubuntu 16.04 it's install perfect", on person told me theat it unsupported version and theats and because i use old version of ubuntu. So first is 16.04 version of ubuntu old, and second on new version of ubuntu (17.04) posible install ruby 2.1.2 via rvm? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:35] what's rvm? an installer like apt? [08:35] rvm - ruby version manager [08:36] tomeaton17: Looks like Boot Info Script isn't getting most of its information that it should be because it's not handling the nvme device names properly. I wonder if os-prober is not detecting Windows for similar reasons.

[08:48] tomeaton17: No. You may need to do manual partitioning. Unfortunately I can't walk you through that as I need to go to sleep. Hopefully someone else here can. As always, make sure you have backups of any important data. [08:49] Ok well thanks for the help. can anyone walk me through it? === Inception is now known as Incepti0n [09:00] hello, can any one recomend to me a good tool/script to download a site ? i need to download docs for a app [09:04] Hi. I'm planning to update my main OS to Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. Will I be able to update this install to Ubuntu 17.10, by adjusting /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to normal? [09:09] maja, try `wget` it has resucursive download support `-r` option if i remember correctly [09:09] linuxenko: danki :D [09:09] Neepu: well 17.04 is not LTS so it should already be on normal [09:15] hehe that -r is downloading everything... and not reworking links :( [09:26] maja: --convert-links (see "man wget" for more details). === ianychoi_ is now known as ianychoi [09:38] Jordan_U: danki [09:44] my ubuntu freezes whenever I login [09:48] tomeaton17: via gui or cli ? [09:51] gui [09:51] how do I launch into cli [09:51] when booted [09:52] press ctrl + alt + f1 [09:52] no that freezes it [09:52] really ? [09:52] thats no good [09:52] what happens when you do that during boot ? [09:53] I will try [09:54] I can get in if I do before login screen [09:55] that key combo should get you into ttly1 [09:55] "The volume "boot" has only 13.0 MB disk space remaining. last time I tried to fix this I almost had to reinstall ubuntu :_( is there a way to fix this without having to painstakingly remove precisely packages and things? [09:56] tomeaton17: https://askubuntu.com/questions/467912/how-do-i-log-in-in-tty1 [09:56] hoxolotl: there is a built in drive analazis tool that will show you where your space has gone [09:57] maja: I am logged in [09:58] error opening /boot/lost+found: permission denied. [09:58] tomeaton17: now i recomed reconfigureing your gui [09:58] hoxolotl: shouldn't be large file does it read the rest ? [09:58] How do I do that? [09:59] hoxolotl there shouldnt be a lost+found in /boot [09:59] I have a 256GB SSD, of which 126GB is free, but the boot partition is... eeeh... I don't know, it says it's 441.3MB full [10:06] also a bit confused, this is a second hand laptop in which I put a liteon SSD, but it -might- have another SSD hidden somewhere, or I'm just confused: http://i.imgur.com/G54FxRW.png [10:07] hoxolotl try lshw [10:10] only one *-storage [10:11] guess just the ssd. [10:12] still, can't change the size of the boot partition, and at 511MB it is too small it seems. [10:12] it freezes after startx aswell [10:14] lunchtime! bbl [10:15] tomeaton17: i am not sure there used to be an xorg command but things have changed so much since i have done it [10:15] tomeaton17: dpkg --reconfigure xorg might work... [10:20] good luck ;) [10:31] I fixed it needed to install nvidia drivers [11:05] back from lunch, sooo, how do I make more room when getting: "The volume "boot" has only 13.0 MB disk space remaining. [11:08] hoxolotl: sudo apt autoremove [11:08] hoxolotl: that should clean out old unused kernels [11:08] lets hope it doesn't remove too much ;) [11:09] It'll tell you what it wants to remove before you press Y/N [11:09] If apt complains/fails we'll need to do some manual fixing, but try autoremove first [11:10] hmmz, lots of kernels, which one am I currently using I wonder... lets google how to LSkernel [11:11] lsb_release [11:11] uname -a it was [11:12] ok, the current version is not on the remove list *presse Y and crosses fingers* [11:13] lets hope the nouveau drivers don't mess up keyboard input at next boot. [11:15] ok, rebooting after autoremove and then apt-get update && upgrad, or would it be better to update && upgrade BEFORE rebooting? [11:15] hoxolotl: autoremove wont remove your running kernel [11:15] hoxolotl: there's no need to reboot before upgrading, the packages are already gone after autoremove [11:16] hoxolotl: as you can check with "df -h" [11:17] autoremove freed 50% of the boot partition, thanks hateball [11:18] installing updates \o/ [11:22] looks like a LOT of updates didn't get enough room last time. [11:25] Hey there, I have some free time and I noticed that Ubuntu does not use cgroups for much of anything as of 17.04. Is there a proposal to integrate their use into the desktop release? [11:30] hiyas all === jstein_ is now known as jstein [11:51] hoxolotl: I tend to upgrade with "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove" to avoid filling /boot [12:18] hateball, never used full-upgrade only used dist-upgrade, I'll have to check it out.... [12:26] donofrio_: same thing, dist-upgrade is used with apt-get, full-upgrade with apt :) [12:39] hateball, ah ic [12:41] hi all, ubuntu recently installed some updates and when i restarted unity launcher is gone. ive search for a solution with no luck. any suggestions? [12:45] binary01, press ctrl alt T # terminal opens and see with " ls -la " if there is a file ~/.compiz-1 # remove this, and logout/login > rm -rf .compiz-1 [12:46] this worked for me in 16.04 [12:48] oerheks, thanks. ill try that [12:51] oerheks, it didnt work [12:52] :-( [12:58] binary01, this page has some other tips too.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/761035/ubuntu-16-04-no-menu-bar-or-launcher-help maybe the " rm -rf ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/* " does the trick [13:00] thanks, ill try it [13:03] :-) [13:03] unfortunately, no luck [13:03] oh.. then i am out of clues.. [13:03] ok thanks [13:04] lets wait for others to have an answer [13:04] hi all, anybody knows how to install latest zsh on ubuntu 16.04 ? ppa, or .deb package? [13:05] yes sounds good. maybe i will uninstall and reinstall unity and see if that works [13:11] can anyone help me install the updated version of discord? [13:13] lrojas, i find no paa, build it yourself from source? https://gist.github.com/m45t3r/9790552 [13:14] Disaster_Area, there is a snap package available, https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/05/04/discord-is-now-available-as-a-snap-for-ubuntu-and-other-distributions/ [13:15] thanks, i'll try that [13:16] thanks oerheks [13:19] have fun! [13:24] that worked :) [13:34] hello there [13:34] my skype beta ( on ubuntu LTS ) alway's asks for ringmanager password, is there a way to avoid this ? [13:42] is there way to enable ubuntu to check for updates on every 6 h, not 1 per day? [13:45] KeyboardNotFound with a cronjob, maybe [13:46] KeyboardNotFound type this is read the introduction sudo crontab -e [13:49] hey all. i have an arm toy with outdated crypto libs. and really, debs nor ppa's seem to exist for this forked? version of ubuntu [13:49] so it seems i must compile by hand [13:50] to update the installed libs... id have to build a .deb right? [13:50] pvl1 try #ubuntu-arm [13:50] !build | this is a good start [13:50] thaanks [13:50] this is a good start: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:51] oerheks: are u getting at checkinstall [13:51] hello [13:51] is there a way to install ubuntu desktop via btrfs? [13:51] versus ext4 [13:51] Hello. [13:51] the current Ubuntu LTS release that is [13:52] zacts yes, i use btrfs ... simply select it during installation [13:52] oh really, I didn't realize there was an option for this. cool, I'll try it out [13:52] :-) [13:53] do you think that canonical will eventually make btrfs the default option? [13:54] zacts if they see a reason for it, maybe ... or zfs, or something else [13:54] ok [13:54] cool [13:54] thanks [13:54] =) [13:55] well, I'll try this out, but for now I'll leave the channel. thanks again [13:57] I know this is a beginner question how do you start ubuntu without a x-11 server [13:57] madmanonmeds you mean in text mode? [13:57] yes [13:58] !text [13:58] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [13:58] hello just wondering what to do about trying to install this video driver. I have 17.04 and i can't get the nvidia drivers installed for my gforce 9600gt. [14:00] when i install the video driver, the unity-control-center settings wont work, and if i reboot, it gives the login screen in HUGE graphics and then crashes when I enter pw. [14:00] thanks, i will look there [14:01] theneteffect, hos did you install nvidia drivers? i hope through the driver tool, not the download? [14:02] um [14:02] * from their site, that is [14:02] hi oerheks I used the instructions on this page, is that bad? https://www.linuxhint.com/install-nvidia-drivers-linux/ [14:03] theneteffect, oke, the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa is a legit ppa. what driver did you choose?? [14:03] I tried the latest one 381.04 also the 304, they both crash stuff. [14:03] 381.09 [14:04] theneteffect, what nvidia gpu? lspci | grep VGA # this would show your card [14:04] hmmm i just rebooted the machine darn. Well let me see if it will boot. [14:05] So I got an error message on the latest kernel update. Apparently the bug is known, but is it going to be an issue for me. It checks to see if theres enough room on the boot partition for the update, then it does the update, but I guess on the back end of the update generating files if you were right on the egde of not having enough room, you can run out while the process generates some files. Apparently that just happened [14:05] oh, yeah it's crashed right now, well doesn't crash... has HUGE login screen and when i enter pw, goes back to the login screen. [14:06] I'll have to reinstall again and get back in. [14:06] theneteffect, no, wait.. [14:06] ok [14:06] lol the pw field is almost the whole width [14:06] hit ctrl alt F2, login , and run the command [14:06] ok [14:06] you would get a 'terminal session' [14:06] xeon [14:07] Hey there . So I'm about to go back to ubuntu after years of using Arch Derivatives and i have a partition with my files on it under /home/blake/ - I want to install Ubuntu LTS on that partition keeping that folder - I unticked the "format" box from the installer - will that work? [14:07] ok it says g94 (geforce 9600 gt) rev a1 [14:07] Ricardus, free some space by removing old unused kernels with : sudo apt autoremove [14:07] theneteffect, odd, that should work fine with 340 [14:08] the 304? yeah i tried that one anyway [14:08] oerheks, what about this latest kernel update? Is it messed up? [14:09] Ricardus, when you have cleared space, you could run apt install -f to correct these problems i guess [14:09] It wants to reboot to finish the process, but if it generated an error on installation will I get a crash? [14:09] I guess I can relegate it, just wanted the box on ubuntu if possible. Ah well. [14:10] It's not "important" so it's ok. [14:10] that video card is age-old anyway. [14:12] Hello. Flash games don't run smoothly for me, the motion is very jerky. I've an Intel HD 510 graphics card. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? [14:12] I have the default drivers [14:12] oerheks, it seems when I did the autoremove, it installed 4.4.0-91-generic properly as part of the process [14:12] thanks! [14:14] melissa_, specific to chrome or occurring in firefox etc too? [14:15] melissa_, you might need to write your xorg.conf with tearfree ans sna to fix this > https://askubuntu.com/a/469653 old answer, still valid for newest intel GPUs [14:16]
