[01:34] Of course. [01:34] that will work better for me === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25351544/ [01:38] there ya go krytarik [01:45] hello, having a weird issue where if I unplug/replug the HDMI, it doesn't display anything. Anyone have any idea how I might force it to display? (it seems detected) [01:45] 16.04 LTS I think [01:46] yup. [01:47] what are you pluging it into your tv? [01:47] my box [01:47] well, NAS/KODI box [01:48] freeNAS ? [01:48] I'm running ZFS on drives, yes.. but not FreeNAS [01:48] don't think you can do FreeNAS on ubuntu? [01:49] no thats an OS unto itself... i think [01:49] yeah think so [01:49] based on FreeBSD or something [01:49] what is kodi [01:49] heard of XBMC? [01:49] nope [01:49] it's basicly a media center software with a lot of features, extremely popular [01:50] watch videos with a made-for-tv interface, categorize into tv shows/movies, ton of addons, etc [01:51] derfoh I've installed it, but by default, it does not show my current git branch. Do you know where to enable/what I have to do to get that? [01:51] undeclared, have you tried upgrading ubuntu [01:51] to 17.04? [01:52] yea [01:52] that sounds like a terrible idea lol [01:52] I've never had good luck upgrading [01:52] always way better to fresh install in my experience [01:53] aaah upgrading freebsd was simple and it had a generic kernel [01:53] cool [01:53] but yeah not generally an easy thing ;) [01:53] I've had nightmare scenarios doing that [01:53] so wait how do I get firefox 54.0.2/64 if using only update/upgrade I'm forced to get 55.0.2? this is a new install fwiw.... [01:53] mind you, its not an insanely bad idea to do it in general anyway, my install is not perfect [01:54] Kodi FTW [01:54] but yeah getting back to it.. no idea why my HDMI is not working [01:54] kodirocks just need to add a diffrent repo to get 17.3 [01:54] it doesn't re-auto-detect if I unplug and replug [01:54] but anyway does ubuntu have a handbook or something like that? [01:54] derfo_h never mind, got it working [01:57] maybe its your monitor undeclared [01:58] hold on [01:58] tesko - how so? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:00] found this undeclared https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1574005 [02:00] Launchpad bug 1574005 in xorg (Ubuntu) "HDMI connection not working on Ubuntu 16.04 and GeForce GTX 960M" [Low,Expired] [02:01] ahh thanks tesko reading up [02:01] nc [02:07] How do I set wifi network priority?

[06:37] nugroho: Ubuntu 5.10 has been EOL for longer than it was ever supported. Install a supported version of Ubuntu. [06:37] Jordan_U: it might not be ubuntu 5.10 though [06:38] well lets wait on what he has to say rather [06:38] recognising that i have windows installed and wants to wipe my hard drive ... [06:38] argh... [06:38] let me try that again [06:38] how do you test if your memory clocks are stable? [06:38] AwesomeAsh: the ubuntu installer? [06:38] i am trying to install ubuntu alongside windows [06:39] using the ubuntu installer [06:39] JonelethIrenicus: you can use memtest86+, which is inside the ubuntu installer or just straight ubuntu has the boot option [06:39] gotcha [06:39] is it a limit of space? might be I imagine [06:39] so in the ubuntu installer it says there is nothing installed on this machine [06:39] ahh [06:39] what ver is installed? [06:40] it gives four choices (version i think is 16.04) erase disk and install U, encrypt the new U for security, use lvm with the new U and something else [06:41] yeah you're definitely right it doesn't recognize it, I'm just not sure why [06:41] i have partitioned my hard drive using a windows utility already [06:41] is windows an old ver though? [06:41] windows 10 [06:41] so no, not old [06:41] you could always download the latest installer if it isn't.. maybe there's detection changes [06:41] well... a year old [06:41] i have only just redownloaded ubuntu [06:42] !dualboot | AwesomeAsh [06:42] AwesomeAsh: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:43] k [06:43] lets try that ... [06:45] so where i am at ... (having just looked at the dual boot windows page) ... i have backed up data, i have repartitioned my hard drive ... i have 200 GB partition avail named B:\ [06:46] when i go into the "something else" ... [06:46] it shows me partitions but without naming them ... and it is here where i need some help [06:46] right [06:46] you might wanna remember the size [06:47] ? [06:47] AwesomeAsh: Is the Windows installation installed for UEFI booting of BIOS based boot? Did you boot Ubuntu's installer via UEFI or BIOS? [06:47] sorry i wrote 209714 mb = 20gig right? [06:48] jordan_u um... [06:48] i had to get into my bios to even get me to allow to boot from my pen drive with the iso image [06:49] having done that, i can use ubuntu either from the pendrive or install it ... [06:49] i am at stage 4 of 7 in the install [06:50] AwesomeAsh: In this context I'm talking about the boot interface, BIOS vs UEFI. Most UEFI based boot firmware has a "Compatability Support Module" that allows it to boot old operating systems that don't support the newer UEFI specification. But, you can still install Windows 10 for the older BIOS booting method. [06:51] AwesomeAsh: Please run Boot Info Script from here: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. [06:51] jordan_u if memory serves me correctly, lenovo (my laptop manufacturer) helped me change my bios to a legacy version as prior to contacting them security settings would not allow me to boot from a pen drive [06:53] jordan bear with me .. [06:53] just joining github .. [06:53] i am like a newbie [06:53] AwesomeAsh: OK. You should not need to use "legacy" boot to be able to boot from a USB drive (and you shouldn't need to disable secure boot to boot Ubuntu either). You can't reasonably dual boot two OSs that are installed for different boot interfaces, so if Windows is installed for UEFI (which it should be by default) then you also need to boot and install Ubuntu via UEFI. [06:54] bear with me while i locate and run this script and will tell you for sure, (i do think i have booted via uefi) [06:56] jordan ... how do i load and run that baby [06:56] lotuspsychje and ubottu thanks both [06:57] undeclared ... if i click on /dev/sda4 ntfs ... how do i further partition drive for boot etc ? [06:58] AwesomeAsh: No need to get a github account. Just press the "clone or download" button then click "Download Zip". Extract the zip file then in a terminal run "sudo Downloads/bootinfoscript-master/bootinfoscript" . [06:59] AwesomeAsh: I would strongly recommend against doing any repartitioning until you have the installer booted via UEFI (at which point you shouldn't need to do manual partitioning). [06:59] I freshly installed ubuntu 17.04 and now i am strugglling to use my wifi. The options are not showing at all. I tried going through multiple post and using that to fix but no u [06:59] *No Luck. Please help [06:59] jordan u, i already did repartioning in windows [07:00] should i exit out of my install, go to windows, delete the partition, resize the one i made smaller and come back and restart this way? [07:01] jordan u ... i am on a different windows machine here ... methinks i will need to exit my install ... go to windows and run that script on the machine i am doing the install, right? [07:04] AwesomeAsh: If you created an ntfs partition in Windows then you might as well delete that then, since Ubuntu can't be installed to ntfs. You can either resize the other partiion back to its normal size or not as you wish, but that's still completely separate from the fact that you *need* to boot the Ubuntu installer via UEFI not via "Legacy"/CSM. [07:06] AwesomeAsh: You do need to run Boot Info Script from the machine you're trying to install to, but it also can't be run from Windows. Just boot the Ubuntu installer and choose "Try Ubuntu" and you will be able to run Boot Info Script from there. You can then also run the installer from the live session, allowing you to do nice things like connect to here and use Firefox while the install is going. [07:06] ok ... i have exited my install, restarting windows on that computer ... can you run me through the delete and resize. my boot of ubuntu is/ will be via the pen drive where i have followed all the creation directions from the ubuntu website ... [07:06] so i am guessing it is eufi ... looks and sounds familiar [07:08] please let me know if you need any more detials for my wifi issue. [07:10] AwesomeAsh: If you want my help repartitioning then you'll need to do it via Ubuntu. ##windows can help you with using Windows' partitioning tools, with which I am less familiar. === jstein_ is now known as jstein [07:10] jordan u ... well i can load ubuntu just via the pendrive and we can repartion from there? [07:13] i tried rfkill , file changes etc [07:13] AwesomeAsh: That should be great, yes. [07:13] nothing is working to fix wifif [07:14] restarting on other machine now .... [07:16] here comes the ubuntu again ... [07:16] AwesomeAsh: You can go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ to connect here again via Firefox from that machine. It will be easier to give info if you're chatting from the machine you're working on . [07:17] bear with me i just have to put in wireless password on that machine ... [07:17] so i am picking "try ubuntu" [07:19] team , please let me know if anyone has faced wifi issue in 17.04 and able to fix it. I was able to fix it in past in lower versions but in 17.04 i have no liuck. [07:19] *luck [07:22] having trouble connecting right now ... [07:22] right password but not playing the game [07:26] a restart was necessary [07:27] jordan just a thought ... [07:27] i am into ubuntu just from the pendrive and there is a desktop icon install ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS ... should i follow that? [07:28] AwesomeAsh: Eventually, yes. But let's make sure you're booted via UEFI first. [07:31] AwesomeAsh: Please open a terminal and run the following "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" (copy and paste the command, without the quotes, into a terminal. Paste by right click menu or by using ctrl+shift+v). [07:31] ok i am on irc on the other machine i just need to work out how to identify to nickserv [07:31] i already did that on this machine [07:35] ok here is Awesome Ash on the ubuntu machine [07:35] i am going to stay here on the windows machine just not say any thing... [07:36] can you send that github script again so i can copy it into my browser here [07:37] AwesomeAsh_: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript [07:39] so this is the first time i have ever downloaded something with U, do i open it with archive manager or save file? [07:44] AwesomeAsh: Open with archive manager. Just make sure that when you extract it you extract it to the Downloads directory so that we can find it easily. [07:44] i downloaded to documents as i thought we must have a big lag ... [07:44] same same [07:44] now that i have downloaded it ... [07:45] now what? [07:48] AwesomeAsh_: Open it with Archive Manager, either through Firefox or by double clicking the file in the file manager. [07:50] ok files extracted ... [07:50] file opened ... [07:51] AwesomeAsh_: OK. Did you extract to Documents or to Downloads? [07:51] both actuall [07:52] -y [07:52] AwesomeAsh_: OK. Then run "sudo Downloads/bootinfoscript-master/bootinfoscript" in a terminal. Do you know how to open a terminal? [07:52] no i do not [07:52] least not from U [07:55] AwesomeAsh_: Search for "terminal" in the Unity dash (which you get to by clicking the Ubuntu icon in the dock on the left of the screen). [07:57] AwesomeAsh_: And before we run boot info script, please run "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" and tell me what it outputs. [07:59] jordan ... [07:59] do i copy everything from run " .... BIOS" or only what is between the " " [08:00] AwesomeAsh_: Only what's between the quotation marks. [08:01] so that is [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [08:01] AwesomeAsh_: Correct. [08:01] AwesomeAsh_: And it will just tell you whether you've booted via BIOS or via UEFI. [08:01] nothing happened [08:02] AwesomeAsh_: It didn't show a line of text showing either "UEFI" or "BIOS"? [08:03] jordan u nothing at all [08:04] btw when i looked for terminal i had three choices ... terminal, uxterminal and xterminal i just chose terminal, was that ok? [08:05] AwesomeAsh_: Do you see a prompt in the terminal ending with "$ " or something else? [08:05] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ run "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS > [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS > [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS > sudo Downloads/bootinfoscript-master/bootinfoscript > [08:05] its > [08:05] AwesomeAsh_: Yes, just plain "terminal" is great. (The other two would have worked just as well also). [08:06] btw jordan thx for your patience :) [08:07] AwesomeAsh_: That means that the terminal is waiting for a closing quotation mark, since you entered the opening quotation mark a while ago and it's not going to actually run anything until you finish your "quote" or tell it to stop trying and move on. To tell it to stop trying and move on press ctrl+c . [08:08] AwesomeAsh_: You're welcome :) [08:10] ok so in linux i have to go control c whenever i want to finish a command? [08:11] AwesomeAsh_: ctrl+c kills a command that's running, or in this case cancels a command that the shell hasn't even started yet because it's waiting for a closing quotation mark. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:15] jordan i just closed it off with a ] and i think it has responded bios [08:15] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS] BIOS] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [08:16] i imagine you feel now is the way i feel when i give my octagenerian father computer assistance [08:17] AwesomeAsh_: The ending "]" wasn't needed, but that does mean that you are booted via BIOS, and if your Windows install is configured to boot via UEFI then you'll need to change your boot firmware settings (AKA "BIOS" settings) to boot via UEFI again. [08:18] ok [08:18] so what do i do now... [08:18] am i exiting ubuntu and going back into the bios? [08:18] or can i do that here in ubuntu? [08:21] AwesomeAsh_: And we can tell pretty quickly if Windows is installed for UEFI. Please run "sudo blkid" and copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and post a link to that output here. (Don't paste the whole output here as that would flood the channel) [08:23] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25353242/ [08:25] so what do we know now? [08:29] jordan u [08:29] what do we know now? [08:29] AwesomeAsh_: Windows is installed for UEFI, so you will need to undo whatever Lenovo had you do, or if they had you do multiple things then maybe just undo making USB drives boot via BIOS/Legacy/CSM . [08:30] i will really have to think about what they made me do ... [08:30] i will start by going into the bios which means leaving ubuntu for the moment [08:30] this chat is still open on my other computer [08:32] open but disconnected... reconnecting now [08:34] and i am back ... === sulfyr is now known as b0b [08:35] jordan u... i am now going to disconnect from ubuntu on this machine and reboot stopping in the bios and try to remember what i did and undo it [08:35] AwesomeAsh_: OK. === b0b is now known as sulfyr [08:35] ok out for now ... [08:36] i am still logged in here though right? [08:44] jordan u i have got to bios options pressing f12 but selecting the various options it is just taking me back to windows... [08:46] in other words i do not seem to be able to get back to the bios ... === sulfyr is now known as b0b === b0b is now known as sulfyr [08:49] AwesomeAsh: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10 === sulfyr is now known as b0b [08:53] Hiyas all [08:54] Moin [08:59] jordan u i am now back at the bios [09:00] i think what i did was to change the boot mode to legacy support and boot priority to legacy first [09:00] so i am guessing i need to change legacy support to uefi [09:01] usb boot at enabled [09:01] but what i remember now is that when it was on this setting, my security settings (which i have no idea who set up) wont allow a boot from usb [09:05] hi. I just got a Asus UX530U and install 17.04. I'm having DNS issues.

[09:09] <_live_session_us> any for example attempted ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/ in firefox, nothing [09:09] AwesomeAsh: Well try it, and if it doesn't work we'll go from there. [09:11] jordan_u i got into the bios via the windows method (thats how i got in initially) and i changed to uefi ... i have tried it three times, different usb ports and it keeps loading windows [09:11] <_live_session_us> makara do you ask questions and then leave? [09:12] _live_session_us, ? [09:13] _live_session_us, do you bight the hand that feeds? [09:13] <_live_session_us> is the motto gets worse with every release? [09:13] <_live_session_us> What do you feed UV dye? [09:14] AwesomeAsh: Did you download the 64 bit Ubuntu image or the 32 bit one? [09:14] <_live_session_us> got any meat on that hand? [09:14] _live_session_us, thats enough [09:14] take the chatter/commentary elsewhere _live_session_us [09:15] Jordan_U i am not sure, i think the 64 bit but i can go and check in downloads right? [09:15] <_live_session_us> HELLO HOW TO ACCESS AN FTP SITE [09:15] _live_session_us, fireftp.net [09:15] <_live_session_us> IS IT NOT THE BASIC USE OF INTERNET [09:15] <_live_session_us> TRANSMIT DATA [09:15] _live_session_us: no caps, ok?

[09:35] ducasse, nope [09:37] why unity is not in 17.10 [09:37] this is mistake [09:37] Dreaman, file a wishlist bug then [09:37] Dreaman, #ubuntu+1 is the place for that [09:38] ok [09:38] i use stable [09:38] Dreaman, chat about 17.10 goes there [09:38] ok [09:39] thanks [09:43] hi all, i got big problem logging to my own admin account on ubuntu desktop 16.04.3 LTS. i forgot password and reset using recovery console. password is accepted during login and refresh screen and i got login screen again instead of seeing my desktop. using other admin account which i forgot password, i did reset the same way via recovery mode and it was fine to be logged in.

[09:54] !patience | linocisco [09:54] linocisco: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:54] there is a problem for a newbie like the author of this message, basically what's needed is to manyally add package repository in the file /etc/apt/sources.list - but it appears read-only - or so the system said that, therefore can't be saved. what is the way to fix that sandwich? [09:54] s/manyally/manually [09:55] alexac, yes loginto the file with root permissions like gksudo in order to edit it [09:55] alexac: add a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d instead of editing the main sources.list [09:55] linocisco: Sounds like your desktop session is crashing when you try to log in. Why it's crashing I do not know. [09:56] Jordan_U, ahhh [09:56] linocisco: Check the output of "journalctl". [09:56] thank you BluesKaj ducasse [09:58] Jordan_U, is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [09:59] linocisco: I didn't say to run "sudo journalctl". [10:01] Jordan_U, your_account is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [10:01] Jordan_U, same problem [10:02] what if directory is write-protected, how to disable write-protection from a shell? [10:02] alexac, I dont know [10:03] linocisco: I did *not* tell you to run "sudo journalctl". Do *not* run "sudo journalctl". *Do* run just "journalctl" with nothing else added. [10:05] Jordan_U, Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system. [10:05] Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to [10:05] turn off this notice. [10:05] No journal files were opened due to insufficient permissions. [10:07] linocisco: Press ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a tty (text only screen) where you should be able to log in as your admin account and run "journalctl" to see recent log messages. [10:07] linocisco: ctrl+alt+F1 should get you back to the GUI login screen, and if not then ctlr+alt+F7 will. [10:08] alexac: decide first if the right solution actually is to change permissions - if you are talking about /etc/apt you should instead use sudo to edit [10:17] Jordan_U, same error using same account [10:18] Jordan_U, with the problem account,i can see long result but can't pastebinit [10:19] Jordan_U, with the problem account,i can see long result but can't pastebinit. but can access to destkop and files via command line [10:27] !password [10:27] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [10:28] linocisco: ^ [10:28] maybe you could sum up the situation again. ideally providing details including actual user names (if you don't mind from a privacy perspective) [10:33] Jordan_U, tomreyn Finally I got the result from problem account. please see https://paste.ubuntu.com/25353886 and advise me what is wrong and what to check [10:35] linocisco: what you posted is syslog, what am i looking for? [10:35] tomreyn, Jordan_U said journalctl log [10:36] tomreyn, he told me to see last few lines [10:36] yes, and i did not understand why he asked for it [10:36] tomreyn, so what should I do? [10:36] linocisco: depends. what is the problem? [10:37] linocisco: check ~/.xsession-errors, see if there's anything interesting there [10:37] i have run sensors-detect but then sensors does not show me the speed of my case fans - how can i check those out ? [10:38] thyriaen: did you read the last paragraphs which sensors-detect printed? [10:38] are those kernel modules loaded, yet? [10:39] sensors-detect said that no sensors were detected [10:39] thyriaen: then unfortunately you won't get to list the chassis fan info. [10:40] alright thanks [10:41] thyriaen: maybe with a newer lm-sensors version or (if you have new hardware only) with a newer kernel version it might work. [10:41] ducasse, no such file or directory for that ~/.xsession-errors [10:41] tomreyn: ah, ill upgrade my kernel [10:41] thyriaen: which ubuntu release are you on and which mainboard do you have there? [10:42] 17.04 ( i think its the newest ) - Asus Prime X370 Pro with Ryzen ( I know about the CPU Fan bug ) [10:42] i installed 1 hour ago [10:43] hi all, i got big problem logging to my own admin account on ubuntu desktop 16.04.3 LTS. i forgot password and reset using recovery console. password is accepted during login and refresh screen and i got login screen again instead of seeing my desktop. using other admin account which i forgot password, i did reset the same way via recovery mode and it was fine to be logged in. [10:43] tomreyn, i got big problem logging to my own admin account on ubuntu desktop 16.04.3 LTS. i forgot password and reset using recovery console. password is accepted during login and refresh screen and i got login screen again instead of seeing my desktop. using other admin account which i forgot password, i did reset the same way via recovery mode and it was fine to be logged in. [10:44] thyriaen: okay, pretty new indeed. it may not be so easy to get those readings, yet. [10:45] tomreyn: i think i got them on a different release of linux - at least i know for sure i that i got more sensors [10:45] tomreyn: now i only got 4 shown in psensors [10:46] linocisco: thanks for re-posting what you posted earlier. i had read it but wasn't sure whether i interpreted it correctly, so i asked you to describe it again, hoping you'd rephrase it. [10:48] tomreyn, so what should I do now? [10:48] linocisco: my understanding now is that you have two user accounts both of which can use sudo. one of the users you normally use to login to your grpahical desktop, but when you login with it the graphical desktop doe snot appear but you end up on the graphical login screen again. the other user can login to the graphical desktop fine. neither of these users is 'root'. is all of this correct? [10:49] tomreyn, problem account is in sudoer group. the working account is NOT [10:50] tomreyn: do you know if The Vega GPU is supported with open source drivers yet ? [10:51] thyriaen: i'm not sure. roughly a month ago it only had minimal support, insufficient for video output. [10:51] thyriaen: did you see this? https://github.com/groeck/it87/issues/10 [10:52] linocisco: but the rest is correct? [10:53] tomreyn: ah right thanks - now i remember thats what i did to make it work xD [10:53] tomreyn: totally forgot about that i had to do something like that [10:54] tomreyn, yes. [10:55] tomreyn: do i have to do "modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628" on startup or does that setting carry over ? [10:57] thyriaen: you should probably add it to a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ [10:58] actually just /etc/modules [10:59] thyriaen: just add "it87 force_id=0x8628" to the end of /etc/modules [10:59] tomreyn: okay thanks [11:00] linocisco: what happened between when it worked and when it stopped working? [11:00] "it" = logging in o your graphical desktop with your primary user account [11:01] tomreyn, I dont see the difference. just work and now not working and see the login screen again after accepting right password [11:02] thyriaen: if you hadve specific questions regarding vega you could ask those in #radeon (but be aware those are busy kernel module dev's) [11:02]
