deskwizardHowdy! I asked yesterday morning but in case someone new came along... Any of you seen something like that before? I get this pretty much everytime the machine wakes up from sleep. Fullscreen chrome/chromium, with the nvidia driver. Nouveau driver completely hangs chrome on wakeup. https://image.ibb.co/fOksjF/20170910_082124.jpg12:16
deskwizardI was having green flickers in VLC when it overlaid the UI so I disabled gpu composition, worked for VLC, I was hoping it'd fix both but no cigar12:16
deskwizardgpu is a 560ti12:16
ouroumovdeskwizard, haven't seen that no12:18
deskwizardouroumov: ah, dang. thanks12:21
deskwizardfigured it was only me again hehehe that damn machine is haunted or something12:22
ouroumovdeskwizard, are you using the base nvidia drivers or the ones in the ppa?12:23
deskwizardouroumov: latest from the ppa. tried both the base versions, as well as the previous version in ppa but same thing12:25
ouroumovdeskwizard, do you have intel graphics, and if so do you get hit while using that?12:27
deskwizardouroumov: nah, no graphics on that cpu12:28
ouroumovdeskwizard, what version of Ubuntu MATE is it?12:29
deskwizardouroumov:  16.0412:29
deskwizardsorry I should have mentionned that12:29
ouroumovDo you have the hardware enablement stack? (hwe kernel?)12:30
deskwizardouroumov: :| got me there, i don't know12:31
ouroumovSee if this installs anything: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.0412:31
deskwizardouroumov: latest version installed, I guess I do12:35
ouroumovAlright, so I'm out of ideas. Next step is to report a bug, but I'm not sure against what.12:35
deskwizardouroumov: Thanks for the help, much appreciated12:36
ouroumovnp12:36
Tu13esI have a raspberry pi running ubuntu mate 16.10.  I noticed recently I don't see any more updates in apt-get.  is it EOL?  if so, is there some change i can make in sources.list to ensure it still receives updates?13:24
ouroumovTu13es, yes Ubuntu 16.10 is EOL. But you shouldn't have been running it anyway on a RPi, the only version we provide is 16.0415:17
Tu13esyeah, i'm not even sure how i got it15:17
Tu13esi realize i should probably just reimage the sd card, but i figured i should check if there was an easy fix first15:17
sixwheeledbeastI imagine you have used dist-upgrade or the like at some point?17:51

DarkJarrisHey guys19:24
DarkJarrisquestion: what was the command to see why boot takes so long? i seem to recall "systemd --blame"19:25
diogenes_DarkJarris, analyze blame19:38
diogenes_systemd-analyze blame19:38
DarkJarrisaha19:38
DarkJarrisi was close :P19:38
DarkJarris1min 247ms docker.service19:39
DarkJarristhat.. explains a few things19:39
diogenes_yeah19:40
DarkJarrisi suppose the times im seeing all add up to total boot time19:41
DarkJarriscause it takes about 3 minutes before im actually able to use the computer :/19:41
diogenes_that's too much, within that time you could even forget why you did actually turn your pc for19:42
DarkJarrisis there some fancy command to find why a service takes so long to start?19:43
DarkJarrislike systemd-analyze blame docker.service, or somesuch?19:43
DarkJarrisor do i just run through logs and kinda hope they tell me?19:43
diogenes_DarkJarris, this might help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Improving_performance/Boot_process19:46
DarkJarristhe plot function is useful19:57
DarkJarrisgive me an idea why it takes so long to even start a service19:57
DarkJarrisgives*19:58
diogenes_lenovo?20:00
DarkJarrisno, custom build20:00
diogenes_amd?20:00
DarkJarrisyeah20:01
DarkJarrisAMD a6-6300K20:01
diogenes_that might be it is it ide or ahci?20:01
DarkJarrisoff the top of my head I want to say ahci20:02
diogenes_are u sure?20:02
DarkJarrisis there a way to check from within linux or should I head into bios and check?20:03
diogenes_dmesg | grep ahci20:06
DarkJarrisno output, so i presume ide20:06
diogenes_dmesg | grep ide20:08
DarkJarrisalso no output20:08
DarkJarrislol. the tale of the computer that runs on magic blue smoke.20:08
diogenes_go to bios and check, if it's ide then it will be slow as a lame snail20:09
DarkJarrisalright. wish me luck :P20:09
diogenes_:)20:10
DarkJarrisit was indeed on IDE20:17
Tu13essixwheeledbeast: yeah, maybe that was it20:17
DarkJarrisive changed to ahci, and its made no difference in speed unfortunately20:17
diogenes_changing to ahci results in no bootable media20:18
DarkJarrishuh20:18
diogenes_it requires reinstallation so the ahci driver is loaded20:18
DarkJarriswell... I booted.20:18
DarkJarrisodd.20:18
DarkJarrisperhaps it switched back then20:18
DarkJarriswell if it did, that explains why theres no change then :P20:19
diogenes_yeah, one more thing20:19
diogenes_you could run: inxi -Fxrc020:19
diogenes_copy outpiuut to some pastebin20:20

diogenes_well my guess is ide slowing down the boot process since dmesg | grep ahci gives nothing but, any advice here is GPLv2 which means it comes with no warranty, you can try and get the same result ot get the improvement.20:29
DarkJarrisI understand that20:30
DarkJarrisif i upload the result from system-anaylze plot would that provide some insight too?20:32
diogenes_it only shows the processes time but no insights why20:33
DarkJarrisfair enough20:33
diogenes_the reasons is mostly the hardware20:35
DarkJarrisi was hoping it wasnt, cause i know its old and I hoped it was just that i'd pressed a button or something easily solved :P20:37
DarkJarristhe computer must be 6 years old, and it wasnt exactly amazing when it was new either20:38
diogenes_hehe you watch too much anime :) no magic wands20:39
DarkJarrisi'd be happy to reinstall (this time with ahci) but i remember getting steam to actually work was such a bitch the way valve ship their own broken libraries20:40
DarkJarrismight be a project for later this week20:41
diogenes_yeah, our entire life if nothing but a small rest among huge decisions20:42
DarkJarrisso, heres a question that might not have a good answer: if i reinstall should I just throw on ubuntu MATE, or install ubuntu server, then install x.org, mate-desktop, and the programs I want?20:44
DarkJarrisI feel like the server method is more "bloat free"20:44
DarkJarrisbuti also feel that getting steam and a full desktop to work would be a bit more of a pain in the ass20:44
DarkJarrismy hunch says that things like graphics drivers will be a bit more of a pain because servers dont usually have them20:46
diogenes_that question is more of a taste and choice, whenever you have free time and try desperately to find what to fill up your time with, then you can try that20:46
DarkJarristrue, its mostly a subjective question20:46
DarkJarristhough free time is something I never seem to have much of20:47
DarkJarristhough to be fair, i put the regular mate disc in my laptop and it didnt have a lot of rubbish on there by default20:48
DarkJarrisso maybe im making up a problem that doesnt really exist to any real degree20:48
DarkJarrisyeah, i'll just throw the disc in and do it that way20:49
DarkJarrisin fact, i'm pretty sure i have another hard drive i can use. i might just swap them out and do it now20:50
DarkJarrisi can always connect it to copy data off when i need it20:50
diogenes_good luck20:50
DarkJarrisplus if it goes wrong i can jsut reinstall the drive20:51
DarkJarristhe ultimate backup20:51
DarkJarris:P20:51
DarkJarrisso i forgot to account for the time to write the iso to usb21:00
DarkJarris15 MB/s, gunna be a few minutes21:00
DarkJarrisi usually have a few dvds handy, but i seem to missing a MATE one21:01
DarkJarristhough its nice to know that ive still got my ubuntu 8.10 disc >.>21:01
DarkJarrisStartup finished in 5.551s (kernel) + 20.858s (userspace) = 26.409s22:03
DarkJarrismy god, so much better22:03
gvghjlkcIs there a better way than command lsusb for someone who wants to know whether his old laptop has 1.1 or 2.0 usb ports?23:17
=== gvghjlkc is now known as _Anna_
DarkJarrisobvious question: does the tech specs of the laptop online not say?23:19
_Anna_He said he has lost the manual...oh you said the online one! Wait a sec23:19
DarkJarris:P23:20
_Anna_I can't find it online. Toshiba Tecra A10-11M is quite old :-(23:27
DarkJarrisoh man, toshiba23:28
DarkJarrisi have a deep and personal hatred of toshiba23:28
_Anna_what? why?23:28
DarkJarrisprobably irrational, every peice of hardware theyve made that i've owned has died within a year23:29
DarkJarrisi might jsut be unlucky23:29
DarkJarrisim half convinced i have a toshiba killing aura around me23:29
_Anna_This laptop is 7 years old and it's still working, so...23:30
DarkJarrishm, the tech specs dont mention usb at all23:33
DarkJarrishttp://www.toshiba.co.il/en/discontinued-products/tecra-a10-11m/23:34
DarkJarrislsusb might be the best option really23:35
DarkJarrisor "lspci"23:35
DarkJarristhis could also help: https://serverfault.com/questions/96663/how-to-determine-usb-version-1-1-or-2-023:36
_Anna_It has 3 ports. lsusb command show me both the numbers 1.1 and 2.0 and that's confusing. Is it the one or the other? I thought it was 2.0 but when I tried to change settings on a virtualbox machine from 1.1 to 2.0 it said "invalid settings detected"!23:36
DarkJarrisi *beleive*, and note that im just hypothesising here, that its saying both for backwards compatibility23:38
DarkJarrisi don't actually *know* though23:38
_Anna_That means it's 2.0. Then why VirtualBox can't see it?23:39
DarkJarrishave you installed the Oracle VM Extension Pack?23:40
_Anna_I don't know. I have installed what was included in the downloaded package.23:41
DarkJarrisok, you probably havent then, its an extra part23:42
DarkJarristhats the way forward though23:42
_Anna_vb version 5.0.4023:43
_Anna_from the software center23:43
_Anna_Do I need to visit oracle's site then?23:43
DarkJarrisI'm just installing VB myself to check23:44
DarkJarrisI'm fairly sure its in a menu23:44
DarkJarrisotherwise you can install it from oracles site23:44
DarkJarris*download23:45
_Anna_I think I found it ---> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads23:46
DarkJarrisso, you install that in the guest OS, and it will enable some stuff like seamless mode, auto resize screen, and usb 2.023:47
DarkJarrisits coming back to me23:47
DarkJarrisand probably a few other things that i havent used23:47
_Anna_in the guest?23:48
DarkJarrisyes23:48
_Anna_oh... that's why it wasn't included in the original package!23:48
DarkJarriswith the guest running, one of the options along the top will be to install the extras23:49
DarkJarrisitll then ask you for the downloaded package on the host23:49
DarkJarrisand away you go23:49
_Anna_I haven't installed the guest yet, but the mystery is solved. Thank you.23:50
DarkJarrisno problem23:50
