no_wee_feeHello. I'm stuck. Last 1.5 yrs running Ubuntu. Never an issue....04:01
no_wee_feeMy wifi is dead now. Just won't connect to any network. Spins, times out, then disconnects.04:02
no_wee_feeI've been troubleshooting on the ubuntu network troubleshooter, but no leads.04:02
no_wee_feeAny help on here tonight?04:02
nickgarveyno_wee_fee: can you pastebin the output of "sudo dmesg | tail -n50" ? let me know if you need help doing that04:03
no_wee_feeSure thing. Here you go: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25690273/04:04
nickgarveyhm nothing stands out. can you try to connect again, and then re-run that command and pastebin it? that way I can see what logs are generated when you run it by comparing it against what you just sent me04:06
no_wee_fee_sorry! I saw where you were going so I disconnected the LAN and tried connecting to wifi to generate more dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25690301/04:08
no_wee_fee_eh04:09
no_wee_fee_[ sorry! I saw where you were going so I disconnected the LAN and tried connecting to wifi to generate more dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25690301/04:09
nickgarveyokay perfect. I see line 39 of that paste and I'm trying to understand what "Reason 2" means04:10
nickgarveyI know the disconnect was line 39 because of the timestamps - there is a jump in time from 38 to 39. I will look now to figure out what that mysterious 2 is :)04:11

no_wee_fee_here are some deauth codes from Cisco. Wonder if this helps04:12
no_wee_fee_"2Previous authentication no longer validNOT SUPPORTED" ??04:12
nickgarveyno_wee_fee_: I see some people who had the same issue and resolved it this way: https://askubuntu.com/a/68949204:13
nickgarveybasically it seems it might be related to some ipv6 settings that you don't likely need. try disabling them and then trying. I doubt you need to reboot but it won't hurt if it doesn't work without it04:13
no_wee_fee_nickgarvey: I already have IPv6 disabled. I can't remember how I did it though (was a long time ago). I'll read through the post you recommended (lots of info!) and let the room know what I find.04:16
no_wee_fee_Thanks for that killer dmesg debug command!04:16
nickgarveysounds good, good luck! :)04:18
xorpadhow can I enable colors in bash? is it a compile time option or is there a setting?04:23
nickgarveyxorpad: what kind of colors? do you mean for ls in particular?04:23
xorpadI mean for the bash shell04:24
xorpadMy rapsberry pi running ubuntu is monochromatic in every terminal04:24
nickgarveywhat component of the shell? do you mean your prompt? the output of particular commands?04:24
xorpadbasically, when I use ubuntu on my pc the text is color coded to a certain extent and is not on the pi04:25
nickgarveycan you send a picture of what you mean? there are different settings for different colors and I want to make sure I suggest the right thing for you04:26
xorpadI don't have one04:28
xorpadI currently don't have any shells open with color in them04:29
nickgarveyxorpad: okay. I think what you are really looking for is "dircolors". search around for how to set that up and that might do it for you04:29
nickgarveylet me know if you have any questions on it, happy to help04:29
xorpaddircolors sounds like a term for what I'm looking for04:30

no_wee_feehello nickgarvey: no go buddy. disabling ipv6 on each wifi connection in NM did not solve the issue.04:54
no_wee_feeAny further ideas?04:54
no_wee_feeThe "reason 2" according to the Cisco site said "prior authentication no longer valid"04:56
no_wee_feeIf I run `nmcli dev`during the handshake, it yields this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25690443/04:57
no_wee_feeWHich is quite interesting. Its like my network manager is not prompting me for credentials nor using any I might have stored.04:57
no_wee_feeI recently deleted all stored wifi networks in NM. This is around the time everything started happening.04:58
nickgarveyno_wee_fee: hm. I found the same thing - reason 2 means it's an authentication issue04:58
no_wee_feeyep. so why isn't NM prompting me for creds?04:59
nickgarveyI would experiment with different WiFi security settings and see if you make progress, but I'm just guessing on this04:59
nickgarveysee if you can manually force a particular authentication (that hopefully matches the right one!) and see if that gives you a prompt04:59
no_wee_feehm. ok. maybe i'll reinstall NM as well.04:59
no_wee_fee_nickgarvey: just disabled wifi authentication altogether and still same issue.05:06
no_wee_fee_hello. Any wifi gurus in here?05:16
no_wee_fee_I am articulate :) and have a baffling issue05:16
no_wee_fee_Check out the results of `nmcli -s a` and `sudo dmesg | tail -n100`: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25690511/05:17
no_wee_fee_By the way, these two commands in conjunction can do a lot!! for wifi troubleshooting!!05:18
no_wee_fee_During this time, my wifi icon just spins, spins, then times out and says "disconnected"05:19
no_wee_fee_I've deleted all profiles in Network Manager so each connection should prompt me for a password, but it doesn't.05:19
no_wee_fee_I don't know if you see that "Reason 2" on line 36 and 101, but looking it up here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/wireless-mobility-documents/802-11-association-status-802-11-deauth-reason-codes/ta-p/3148055 yeilds very little05:20

lotuspsychjeno_wee_fee_: did you try boot an older kernel?05:30
lotuspsychjeno_wee_fee_: and what about on 16.04.2 did it work properly then?05:30
no_wee_fee_I have never tried that before. I usually issue that one "autoclean" command to keep my boot partition small05:31
no_wee_fee_lotuspsychje: it might have. I've been doing loads of things with the laptop lately. Not sure which "thing" changed05:31
cfhowlettno_wee_fee_, autoremove should reatain at least 1 old kernel05:31

Steristhttp://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd08:47
MathisenSterist, does not mather08:52
Steristabsolutely certain? :)08:52
Mathisenas long as you can chroot into the correct install you work from hd anyway08:52
MathisenSterist, you do got more then one install right ?08:57
MathisenSterist, just so you understand that chroot = jumps into other install08:57
Mathisenso if you trying to repair your current install you doing this from you dont need to do that08:57
Steristso skip chroot command?08:59
MathisenSterist, lets just start from start ;) what issue do you got on your current install09:00
SteristI have win7 and ubuntu 17.04 nothing else (yet)09:00
Steristwhen I boot I get thrown into grub rescue09:01
Mathisenok so you can only boot live now then ?09:01
SteristI turned off swap, commented it out, deleted the partition, and that caused the sda numbers to shift09:01
Steristno, I know the commands to temporarily set grub to look to the right partition09:02
Steristbut I cannot for the life of me get it to STAY that way (-_-)09:02
Steristswap was sda5, root sda6, home sda709:03
MathisenSterist, sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg09:04
Steristdeleting 5 turned 6 into 5 and 7 into 6, but grub still sniffing out sda609:04
Steristone moment :)09:04
SteristI've ran mkconfig before as well as grub update, did not fix anything.09:06
Steristis this supposed to do something different from the naked command09:07
Mathisenis your fstab messed upp also if drive letter switched ?09:07
Mathisennano /etc/fstab09:07
Mathisenmake em correct if they are wrong09:07
Steristdrive letters I'm fairly confident are untouched, should be just partition numbers09:07
Steristit still shows sda5 as swap, but, also commented out.09:09
Steristin fstab09:09
ducassefstab probably uses uuid if it's still default09:09
Steristand the original sda6 and 709:09
Steristthough they are now sda5 and 609:10
Mathisenhmm09:10
Mathisendoes ubuntu got gen-fstab command in repo ? im not an ubuntu user :)09:10
Steristand I do see uuid mentioned for each.09:10
Steristhaven't a clue. I can guess that's "generate fstab" but the vast majority of commands I do not know til I've needed to learn about them.09:11
akikpreviously when i've removed partitions in fdisk, the other partitions have kept their partition numbers09:12
Steristif you remove a partition at the end, they will remain the same09:12
Steristif you remove one anywhere else, all others after it will shift backwards one number09:13
arunkumar413Command to install the Radeon driver09:14
Steristsorry my IRC client freaked. disconnected almost immediately after my previous message.09:14
MathisenSterist, you missed nothing, new09:15
MathisenSterist, what did grub-mkconfig command output look like can you pastebin it09:16
SteristIRC is on my phone, different devices09:16
Mathisenwell did it find correct entrys then ?09:17
Steristnot sure I know enough about what I'm looking at to determine what's correct and not09:18
Steristbut...09:18
SteristI do see lots of msdos5 throughout it, and not msdos609:19
Mathisentry to see if it worked then reboot09:19
Steristseems to suggest it's correct but it was like this last time too when I rebooted.09:19
alkisgSterist: what's the output of `sudo sfdisk --dump /dev/sda; cat /etc/fstab`?09:20
tomreynSterist: compare the uuids in /etc/fstab to those provided by: lsblk -fs09:21
Steristwhich of these should I do first (0_o)09:21
alkisgThey are basically the same thing, do mine09:21
alkisgAs it has more info09:21
Mathisenyour fstab needs to be correct do do what tomreyn said09:21
Steristcommand sounds dangerous, is that making a log file overwriting my client fstab..?09:23
Steristcurrent**09:23
alkisgNo, they are read-only commands, they don't modify anything09:23
alkisgdump means "display all info in text mode"09:23
SteristI see all partitions sda1 thru 6, lacking 4 probably because it's an extended that contains everything that is and was ubuntu related09:25

alkisgSterist: all seem fine, so just run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` and select "sda" as the boot device09:33
Steristthat's the magic command I've been hunting for? could it be? :D09:34

alkisgWait 30 secs, then press enter09:37
alkisgIf you don't see a prompt then... tell us09:37
ducassealkisg: btw, the uuids you get with gpt tables are not filesystem uuids but partition uuids - often listed as 'partuuid'09:37
Steristram appears completely full. half consumed by cache09:38
alkisgducasse: thanks, I saw 2 things there and I thought it included both partuuid and uuid, but no, it was "type" and partuuid09:39

Steristcpu almost completely idle, virtually 0 read or write activity, and terminal still not acknowledging my input09:39
alkisgBut in this case 2 commands were needed for full info09:39

razorsharpfangHow does one tell ubuntu to not shut down a network interface on system restart?09:55
arunkumar413How to install Radeon graphic driver on Ubuntu 16.04 from command line09:56
razorsharpfangMostly I'm just sick of configuring the network interface every time the system restarts and want to save its configuration.09:58
Steristunfortunately I don't have the knowledge on how to do so but you could create a script to do it upon reboot09:59
razorsharpfangSee, I have two interfaces and only ONE of them loses configuration.10:00

tomreynarunkumar413: radeon is an open source driver, if you have matching hardware and no /etc/xorg.conf (and did not change / have changed files in /usr/share/X11/ ) it should get loaded automatically.10:01
RonaldsMazitismy pc thinks crtl is pressed sometimes, when it's not10:02
razorsharpfangOh man, could be a keyboard problem.10:02
RonaldsMazitisthe button seems fine10:02
tomreynrazorsharpfang: configure them either using network-manager (using it's GUI, UI (nmtui) or CLI (nmcli)) or /etc/network/interfaces10:02
razorsharpfangtomreyn: Is ifconfig not going to save its changes?10:03
tomreynrazorsharpfang: no, never did.10:03

Steristany idea why Gparted is seen as newest version at 0.25.0-1 when that version is pre- 201710:17
arunkumar413Ububtu-drivers devices command returns amd64-microcode10:17
ducassearunkumar413: amd64-microcode is not a graphics driver, it's microcode updates for your processor10:18

Sterist17.0410:19

arunkumar413ducasse:10:19
arunkumar413But I don't know why laptop freezes at login screen10:20
ducasse!latest | Sterist see this10:20
ubottuSterist see this: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.10:20
arunkumar413I thought it to be a graphic driver issue10:20
Steristdang. guess I have to do a live disc :( current version refuses to shrink ext410:20

Steristarunkumar413 I don't know if you have already, but go in Software Updater, click Settings, Additional Drivers, wait for it to load and select the proprietary driver if it isn't10:23
arunkumar413Sterist: i can pass the login screen10:23
arunkumar413It stucks10:23
Steristwere you able to before?10:24
arunkumar413I'm in root shell now through recovery mode10:24
Steristbut were you ever able to log in since installing10:24
arunkumar413Installing what?10:24
Steristubuntu...10:24
arunkumar413Yes10:25
ducasseand what has changed?10:26
arunkumar413I  installed the amdgpu driver but it didn't improve the performance. So removed it.10:27
SteristI was going to say if you haven't ever been able to log in, reinstall AFTER hitting Try Ubuntu and selecting the proprietary driver, but that wouldn't apply here I guess10:27
arunkumar413Now i can't go past the login screen. It freezes after few cursor blinks in the user name field10:28
Steristmaybe your session needs to be wiped? I'm out of ideas already ;(10:28
tomreynarunkumar413: do you have things like "nomodeset", "radeon.modeset=0", "options radeon modeset=0" in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?10:29
arunkumar413Lemme check10:29
ducasseor is radeon blacklisted?10:29
arunkumar413How do i chec these. I'm not pro with commands10:30
EriC^^arunkumar413: try "cat /proc/cmdline | nc termbin.com 9999"10:30
ducassearunkumar413: 'grep radeon /etc/modprobe.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999'10:31
tomreynmost likely, your issue is that the changes made suring the amdgpu driver installation (how did you install it?)  were not fully reversed.10:32

=== probhakarroy is now known as simplica3110
tomreynarunkumar413: sorry, i got a little busy here, but will try to help when i can. the radeonfb blacklist lines are fine, this is not the radeon module10:48
tomreynarunkumar413: so the radeon module is not blacklisted. is it loaded? run: lsmod | grep radeon10:49
arunkumar413No output10:50
tomreynarunkumar413: what happens when you: sudo modprobe radeon10:51

baxx i'm going to reformat my current setup and reinstall, but I have windows on this as well at the moment. I have these partitions : https://image.ibb.co/eppVYw/image.png  , I'm not too sure which are actually linux and which are windows though. I would guess that the windows partitions are /dev/sda1 , through to /dev/sda4 , is that right?11:01
tomreynarunkumar413: okay let's see if you have those options i mentioned earlier in grub.cfg11:04
arunkumar413How11:04
BluesKajHowdy all11:05
arunkumar413BluesKaj: hi11:05
tomreynarunkumar413: grep -i modeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg11:05

arunkumar413BluesKaj: still struggling with the graphic driver issue11:07
arunkumar413Remember yesterday we removed the amdgpu driver11:07
BluesKajarunkumar413, the only suggestion zI have is install the radeon driver11:08
arunkumar413Now the Radeon doesn't seems to habet rolled back properly.11:08
tomreynarunkumar413: hmm so you don't have any leftovers *there*, but still the 'radeon' module fails to load at boot because it tries to start in user mode setting instead of kernel mode setting. you will need to find out why it does this and reverse this.11:08
arunkumar413Ok. What should i do now11:09
tomreynin the past, only user mode setting was supported, then both were supported for a while, nowadays only kernel mode setting (KMS) is supported.11:09
akiktomreyn: what is the user mode you mention?11:10
tomreynarunkumar413: the key to this issue is in the output you posted here: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/5Is22Rlp/irccloudcapture-2093793249.jpg11:10
tomreynakik: i mean 'user space', not 'user' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_setting11:11
akiktomreyn: is that the reason nomodeset doesn't work with the intel gfx driver?11:12
arunkumar413Ok. Now what should i do11:12
arunkumar413Should i edit the grub.cfg   and set it to kernal mode?11:13
lfowlrtoday ubuntu sent some security updates , but ...11:15
lfowlrdid it release the flaws too?11:15
lfowlrif it did, then it's a risk, as some users might updaate a day or two later?11:16
lfowlrso how often does ubuntu release security problems flaws11:16
lfowlranyone ?11:16
ducasse!usn | lfowlr11:17
ubottulfowlr: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates.11:17
lfowlryes, but does ubuntu release those flaws or not?11:17
lfowlrhow quickly does it release11:18
BluesKajtomreyn, I assume dkms installs automatically to build the amd driver11:18
lfowlrwhat's the grace period- ideally it should be at least 90 days from the known daate11:18
arunkumar413tomreyn: should i just system restore to solve the problem11:18
tomreynBluesKaj: that's well possible. you mean fglrx?11:19
ducasselfowlr: if you look at that link you can see exactly what ubuntu releases11:19
lfowlrbut what's the grace period it doesn't say11:19
tomreynakik: i don't think so. the "nomodeset" option still works.11:19
BluesKajno tomreyn , any gpu driver11:20
ducasselfowlr: what do you mean by that? the usn is released when the package is updated.11:20
lfowlrbut what if I update my system a week later? is it insecure then11:22
lfowlrtill then11:22
tomreynBluesKaj: sorry i don't understand what you're saying, can you rephrase? are you saying that nomodeset never works as a kernel option nowadays?11:22
lfowlras the exploit is released??11:22
ducasselfowlr: your system is vulnerable until you update11:22
ducasselfowlr: ubuntu doesn't release the exploit, they release the fix11:23
akiktomreyn: when i add "nomodeset", xorg switches to the vesa drivers and puts "(EE) No devices detected." into Xorg.0.log11:24
akikvesa driver11:24
tomreynakik: right, so this kernel option is functional11:24
akiktomreyn: what i mean is that it disables the i915 driver11:25
tomreynakik: i would expect i915 to only support KMS on all supported ubuntu releases11:25
tomreynarunkumar413: if, by "system restore", you refer to restoring backups, that's an option. if, however, you are referring to the windows functionality of this name, this won't magically fix / restore your ubuntu configuration.11:28
lfowlrducasse: ones the fix is release- the source code where the error is - is knownj- because that's where the fix is11:30
lfowlrand that's the place too look for the exploit11:30
BluesKajtomreyn, nomodeset should still work afaik , but in some case dkms fails to build the gpu driver before nomodeset is even looked at11:31
tomreynarunkumar413: i suggest you work thorugh this paragraph: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx11:31
arunkumar413How about re installing the whole kernal or modules11:31
ducasselfowlr: you still need to know how to _use_ the exploit etc11:31
ducasselfowlr: anyway, this is really not on-topic here11:32
MonkeyDustlfowlr  type   /j #ubuntu-offtopic11:33
tomreynarunkumar413: what i linked to will reinstall the relevant packages. the kernel isn't your issue.11:41
lfowlrhow do I remove a ppa,?11:41
tomreyn!ppapurge | lfowlr11:41
ubottulfowlr: 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html11:41
lfowlrremove a ppa package and also other installed packages11:41
BluesKajarunkumar413, do you have separate / (root) and /home partitions ?11:41
tomreynlfowlr: i (and it seems others, too) would be happy to discuss the 'time to patch' / 'risk of disclosure' topic more in #ubuntu-offtopic if you're still interested. you don't seem to have the full picture there, yet. but since this is not strictly ubuntu support it's off-topic on *this* channel.11:44
Doc-SaintlyI'm copying a file and it gets stuck at 594.2 of 647.5 GB. I get a splicing error at the same spot every time. It's a brand new drive. Both file systems are ext4. Any ideas?11:45
arunkumar413BluesKaj: no11:46
arunkumar413Only single partition11:46
arunkumar413tomreyn:  tried thr reinstall command it failed to fetch some urls11:48
arunkumar413tomreyn:  https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/gnQPxTbj/irccloudcapture-714514084.jpg11:49
BluesKajarunkumar413, separate / and /home partitions has the advantage of doing an OS reinstall to / while merely having to set the moutpoint for /home thereby saving most of your settings and config files from the previous install11:51
arunkumar413_tomreyn: trying the commands in this link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368748/ubuntu-16-04-gui-freezes-on-login-start-page11:51

RonaldsMazitisI can't find right parameters to run clamav so it scans and actually writes where they are11:55
RonaldsMazitiswho was the genius to make pointless scanning possible11:55
Eduard_MunteanuIt's rather trivial to reinstall on a single partition while preserving /home, though. Not sure how easy that's with most installers, but it can be done.11:56
BluesKajarunkumar413_, you need an ethernet connection11:56
akikRonaldsMazitis: did you look into clamav2.log? i don't see a mention of 6 viruses11:57
BluesKajEduard_Munteanu, never heard of such a method11:57

RonaldsMazitisI once scanned clamscan -r /home/username11:57

PMunchHi, I have a bit of a technical problem. I've been running a small server from a Ubuntu server install for a while. Now the location where I've kept the server is going to be rebuilt so I've got nowhere to keep it. But I've been offered to virtualize the machine during this time. I've taken the drive and plugged it into my workstation and my initial idea was to simply shrink the partition and dd it over into an image. But the drive is partitioned as one12:03
PMunchsimple boot partition, and one extended partition with a LVM partition that contained the data and a swap partition. I've deleted the swap partition and shrunk the data partition but I'm still stumped on how to shrink the physical volume down so I can dd the whole thing into an image..12:03
tomreynarunkumar413_: "Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'" is often caused by an unstable internet connection.12:04
tomreynarunkumar413_: apparently you already looked into this?12:05
dah85tomreyn, i've had it happen where the internet connection was solid, i found that choosing a direct mirror instead of going through archive.ubuntu.com helped12:05
tomreynarunkumar413_: the stackexchange link you posted is not very likely to help you12:05
arunkumar413_tomreyn: i think the desktop is removed12:06
tomreyndah85: it may also happen when the nameserver your system uses isn't working properly12:06
arunkumar413_when i ran the command   apt-get install ubuntu-desktop it installed the desktop12:06
tomreyndah85: the approach you took may have (temporarily) worked around this.12:07
dah85tomreyn, correct, it's also likely to be cosmic radiation causing it too, but in 100% of the cases i've found with this, changing to something other than archive.ubuntu.com resolves the issue. happens on multiple machines, with multiple configs, using multiple connections.12:08
arunkumar413_tomreyn: on the desktop12:08
arunkumar413_now12:08
arunkumar413_hurray12:08
tomreynarunkumar413_: ubuntu-desktop is an optional 'meta' package, which just ensures that you have everythign installed that's required for the default ubuntu desktop12:08
tomreyndah85: i'm just saying it doesn't solve the issue, it just works around it. but for the average use case, that's probably good enough.12:09
dah85the issue seems to be with the archive.ubuntu.com server12:09
tomreynarunkumar413_: very nice. so you actually had removed packages you shouldn't have removed.12:09
arunkumar413_i ran all the commands in this link https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368748/ubuntu-16-04-gui-freezes-on-login-start-page and it worked12:09
dah85it's easily reproduced, when experiencing that issue, try resolving the ip from another device on another connection (ie a phone on cellular data) and it will also not resolve, try it from a vps in another country, same thing.12:10
dah85the ubuntu servers are out of our control, but deciding where to connect for packages is in our control, and we can change to an appropriate server.12:10
baxxwhat does it mean when it says a "package has been kept back" , ? After running some apt get12:17
tomreyndah85: hmm, this is news to me, if you can reproduce this issue i bet canonical would appreciate debugging info on it, such as dig lookups against archive.ubuntu.com and ns1.canonical.com (maybe include dns lookup traces + traceroutes, too)12:17
tomreynbaxx: that it was not installed / upgraded for some reason.12:17
dah85tomreyn, i'll be sure to do that if/when it happens again12:18
tomreyndah85: i suggest you talk to the handler on duty in #canonical-sysadmin on how to properly report it when it happens12:19
dah85suggestion noted, perhaps the person with the issue above could collect some information, it's not happening to me now and likely won't since i've changed to a local mirror.12:20

oniothis is my command that I am issuing for sfdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/25692532/13:26
tomreynonio: "gparted" uses libparted on its backend, as does the "parted" CLI utility. you might want to prefer this to sfdisk. if, however, you want to make something work with sfdisk instead then you should describe what something is, and how the result you are receiving now differs from the one you are trying to achieve, and which result you are trying to achiev exactly.13:27

LopeI've tried a single nameserver "dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8" it ignores that too.13:30
tomreynonio: generally speaking, using "sfdisk" is fine, yes.13:30
oniotomreyn I am learning embedded linux starting with bootloaders. I am following a boot "Mastering Embedded Linux Programming"13:31
LopeI have network-manager, but this interface is unmanaged by it.13:31
BluesKajLope, I'm surprised you can even connect to the internet with eth0 in the interfaces file , the systemd naming convention has changed eth0 to enpXXX13:31
BluesKajLope, so you are using NM13:31
BluesKajyour dns IPs should be separated with a comma and a space13:32
Lopeah, well yes it's actually enpXXX but I normally obfuscate configs I paste.13:33
LopeMuch of a muchness.13:33

n35xdxb0tried*13:36
oniotomreyn if I am in the wrong forum can you recommend the right one please13:37
tomreynonio: asking questions about sfdisk or gparted is fine here, since both are in ubuntu. i was just unable to understand what you are asking specifically so far. for what i can tell, the sfdisk command you ran as shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/25692532/ creates the expectable results as you have shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/25692546/13:38
tomreynonio: with the sfdisk input you made, what size do you think you requested for which partition (where does it differ from the actual result)?13:40
oniotomreyn I was expecting 64Mib which is consistent with the gparted result but not the sfdisk result13:41
tomreynonio: raw number input to sfdisk is interpreted as sectors, not bytes (nor megabytes).13:42
tomreynonio: see how the "sectors" column in the output you posted matches the input you provided to sfdisk.13:43
onioyes. that is correct13:44
GWMHi I am trying to install ffmpeg on a headless ubuntu server and apt is trying to install x11 and mesa and stuff like that at the same time13:44
GWMI just want a headless ffmpeg for streaming /dev/video113:45
GWMHow do I prevent apt from installing x11 et al13:45
oniotomreyn I was of the assumption that issuing the sfdisk command would be creating partitions big enough to host bootloader and file system13:46
LopeI'm finding it very strange that nobody here seems to know how to set dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces such that it will be respected by resolvconf and dnsmasq etc?13:46
sheapit's a mess that I've never seen an answer to, only workarounds13:46
Lopedoes dnsmasq interfere with resolvconf getting dns-nameservers from /etc/network/interfaces? I'm specifying the dns-nameservers as per the resolvconf manual and it's not going into /etc/resolv.conf. Only dns-search, not dns-nameservers...?13:48
akikLope: dns-nameservers ip ip ip is the correct syntax13:48
oniotomreyn see excerpt from book http://paste.ubuntu.com/25692670/13:48
tomreynonio: the bootloader is usually installed to the raw storage device (/dev/mmcblk0 in this case), not to a partition. the latter is also possible in some configurations but is more error prone and generally discouraged. sfdisk does not make assumptions, it does exactly what you ask it to do. you asked it to create 2 small partitions, and it did.13:49
Lopeakik: yes, that's what the manual says and how I'm doing it, but it doesn't work.13:49
akikLope: works in 16.04. i only configure the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces13:49
Lopeakik: I'm on 16.04.313:50
LopeDoesn't work for me.13:50
tomreynonio: maybe "this script" (which i do not know) relates to a different variant or version of the (sfdisk) software, or is just wrong. book authors can fail, too. ;)13:50
akikLope: i don't run resolvconf manually ever13:50
oniotomreyn see script line 49 to 60 for commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/25692682/13:51
tomreynonio: if you read the sfdisk manual page (run "man sfdisk") you will notice that the "INPUT FORMATS" chapter discusses, in the "Named-fields format" paragraph, the "size" filed, and the formats / values it can take.13:53
tomreyni meant to write "field", not "filed"13:53
Lopeakik: yeah on ubuntu 14.04 I removed resolvconf. I absolutely hate it.13:53
oniotomreyn cool I guessed that13:54
akikLope: could it be that when you changed /etc/resolv.conf manually, it broke things(tm)13:54
Lopeakik: I just thought there should be a reasonable way to make it work.13:54
LopeBut it seems like other people can't make it work either.13:54
akikLope: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 16 21:39 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf13:54
LopeCos I've been asking on 4 channels and it seems nobody knows.13:54
oniotomreyn I would check again. I must confess I sometimes struggle with understanding "man pages"13:54
Lopeakik: no, writing to /etc/resolv.conf manually doesn't break anything, infact it's necessary for me to connect.13:54
LopeBut if I ifdown and ifup the interface, resolvconf kills it again.13:55
akikLope: how does your /etc/resolv.conf look after boot?13:59
oerheksUbuntu 14.04 no longer allows you to edit /etc/resolv.conf directly. Instead, you have to modify /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head or tail13:59
oerheksold info, you should have known this, Lope14:00
tomreynonio: it seems that the author of this script you posted makes the assumption that all versions of sfdisk before 2.26 interpret raw number input to the size field as sectors unless the sfdisk command line option of "--unit M" is provided, and that all later / greater versions interpret those values as megabytes. tand that this is not consistent with the behaviour of the sfdisk command you have on your ubuntu system.14:00
sheapworkaround, still seems nasty to do that instead of with the method that he was trying14:00
akikoerheks: you can also configure it in /etc/network/interfaces14:00
oerheksakik, true ..14:01

oerhekssheap,  yes it is, for 14.0414:02
oniotomreyn yes you are correct14:03
akikLope: what if your network-manager is configuring your ethernet interface anyway?14:03
=== gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr
oniotomreyn: I am looking at the man page "Input format" section14:03
Lope`apt-get remove --purge resolvconf` aka hellspawn solved it.14:03
sheapoerheks: where does it say that?14:03
oniotomreyn: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Embedded-Linux-Programming-Second-ebook/dp/B071DN5DPL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507385101&sr=8-1&keywords=mastering+embedded+linux+programming14:07
oerhekssheap,  page 35 and on https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/serverguide.pdf , and enough examples in google14:07
oerhekseditting resolve.conf is not persistant, that is why you modify /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base so it gets regenerated14:08
sheapweird14:10
tomreynonio: what's your point?14:10
oniotomreyn: just pointing out where the script came from. Its not important. I would simply report my findings to the author and move on. Thanks for your time14:12

Cat_BPRMi have 4 post-install problems, 1. im on a laptop and i want to get a battery indicator in the top right, 2. i want to know how to make nvidia graphics default on all games (mobile graphics), 3. my system settings isn't 'correct' (there ae some options missing and some multiples), 4.My keyboard is supposed to light up, i cant get it to work, its an asus laptop and the function keys wont work which is supposed to be used to control the16:27
akikbastibuck: just try it and see if you manage to do your work there. why is it that you want to use a sd card for work?16:27
bastibuckbecause I mainly use windows on my laptop but it doesn't handle relativ symlinks what I need for my CMS16:28
akikbastibuck: another choice would be dual boot16:28
bastibuckfrom the same hard drive?16:29
akikbastibuck: yes16:29
bastibuckany experience with this? I'm affraid to do it :-D16:29
igpwhat is involved in setting screen resolution in Ubuntu Gnome at various stages of boot? I am having trouble with it turning displays on-off and changing resolution back and forth when I pass the greeter and start a Gnome session16:29
akikbastibuck: it became harder to setup with uefi but ubuntu installer has support for it16:30
bastibuckhmm I think I will stick to SD card for now to have it seperate16:30
bastibuckthere shouldn't be a difference between USB stick and SD card, right?16:31
bastibuckin speed/compatibility16:31
akikbastibuck: i used kubuntu on an usb 2.0 stick and it was ok16:31
oerheksnot in compatibality,.. it is just slow16:31
akikbastibuck: if you can, go for a usb 3.0 device16:32
bastibuckokay good point16:35
bastibuckthanks for your feedback16:35
ducasseCat_BPRM: which release is this?16:35
bastibuckwill try it and see what I get out of it16:35
akikbastibuck: there are some steps you can do like disabling swap so the sd card won't be used for that and limiting writes16:36
bastibuckdo you suggest going for the newest version when I do?16:37

Pinkamena_Dor various variations16:44
Pinkamena_Dhow can I get it to run as if it was my user on a bash shell16:44
akikbastibuck: for example virtualbox is quite user friendly solution for it16:45
alkisgPinkamena_D: you can't run processes inside other users' sessions easily. Why don't you put it in the startup programs?16:45
alkisgnm-applet is supposed to autostart...16:45
Pinkamena_Dthis is for resume not startup16:46

Pinkamena_D???16:47
RonaldsMazitisif You use nm-applet with tint2 then check if You start everything wih &16:47
Pinkamena_DI feel as though it could be a common problem to just run something as a different user in general - is there no way to just inherit everything that usually happens to open a terminal as my user?16:49
RonaldsMazitis(openbox)16:49
alkisgPinkamena_D: usually there's a dbus listener process in the user environment, which a system process can invoke16:49
Pinkamena_Dhow about a simple situation where I want to simply show something with etc $ notify-send for another user? This could be a pretty common use case?16:50
Pinkamena_DWhat kind of commands can be invoked from the dbus listner? Would it follow a logical bash style command or its something lower level?16:52
igpCat_BPRM: by installing nvidia drivers, nvidia-settings and nvidia-prime. This is slightly dated, but mostly relevant: https://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/sln298431/a-guide-to-nvidia-optimus-on-dell-pcs-with-an-ubuntu-operating-system?lang=en16:52

igpwhat is involved in setting screen resolution in Ubuntu Gnome at various stages of boot? I am looking to troubleshoot issues that I am having on multiple monitors and need to know where to start17:00
igpi.e. where would monitor settings be stored for: 1) grub stage 2) gdm greeter stage 3) gnome session stage; does xorg.conf matter at all or is it only monitors.xml?17:01
FrostyBytesigp: do you even need multiple monitors bootsplash? I'd just get it work in the X session with some xrandr commands stuck in .xsession or .xinitrc17:03
igpFrostyBytes: yes. First reason: laptop display (primary) is hidpi, default tty defaults to 4k resolution and microscopic text. Nothing is readable during boot and switching to TTY, i.e. ctrl-alt-f1 gives me an unusable console, which I use when gnome freezes up to kill the offending processes.17:06
igpFrostyBytes: second reason: every time I switch to lock screen/greeter and log back in, my screen resolution starts changing back and forth out of control a dozen times, sometimes this ends up in one/some of my external displays not receiving the signal afterwards (but they still show up in the OS as functioning) and I want to find the cause of this and fix it17:08
akikigp: you can influence the virtual console resolution with video= kernel parameter. it accept a xresxyres17:08
akiki.e. 800x60017:09
igpakik: thank you, i will try this out now17:09

georgemp VPN connection: connect timeout exceeded. - I see that in the logs18:32
georgempany ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks18:32
Bashing-omcat_bprm: As a by the way though - nvidia recommneds the 384 version driver : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/123918/en-us   - I would expect 375 to do however .18:32
cat_bprmBashing-om sorry, i dont understand XD im new to linux...18:32
cat_bprmfor the previous message18:33
cat_bprmfor your latest message, should i use the 384 driver?18:33
cat_bprmor stick with 37518:33
Bashing-omcat_bprm: NP .. The GUI runs on Xserver, that is a layer of X. the X-server makes up a log filke of how it interdaces with the jerenl - Xorg.0.log - . So we want to look at that log for a report of any errors .18:34

Bashing-omcat_bprm: What is the reason that the boot parameter " acpi=off " is set ? that is not an optimum thing to leave set generally .18:40
cat_bprmoh i had that because wheni was trying to install ubuntu yesterday, it crashed whenever i tried to loadbuntu installer18:41
cat_bprmive no idea what it does so i left it, no harm so far, i juts know it worked18:42
Bashing-omcat_bprm: Well, we are getting out of me experience range .. but I bet the acpi parameter effects " Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver "18:43
Bashing-om where you load the fall back driver rather then the nvidia driver .. humm ??18:44
cat_bprmif i removethat peramiter, will it stop ubuntu loading like it stopped ubuntu installer loading18:45
Bashing-omcat_bprm: Let's try a different approach and get the nvidia driver to load . OK ?18:45
cat_bprmi should say booting...18:45
cat_bprmok18:45
Bashing-omcat_bprm: I want that you remove the acpi=off . reboot to the grub boot menu -> boot up from advanced a recovery kernel. See what happens . with the 375 version driver installed I would expect it to load degraded ! ..but to load . How old is this lap top ? Maybe we can adjust the DSDT table (??).18:49

scrumI moved my hard drive with ubuntu on MBR to an UEFI motherboard.  How do I reinstall grub to work with UEFI?21:02
ducasseyou need to create an efi partition, among other things. after that, install grub-efi for the correct architecture, then make sure the right efi firmware variables are set up21:03
qwxleadauntl3ss: another solution is using docker with your complete development stack in it21:05
dauntl3ssqwxlea: yeah, I've never used Docker before but I think I'll get into it21:05
dauntl3ssYou like it?21:05
qwxleadauntl3ss: it is a whole new kind of headache, nothing like the old ones :-)21:12
dauntl3ssqwxlea: mmm sounds right up my alley xD21:12
qwxleadauntl3ss: actually when you get the hang of it, it's really nice, you can copy your server's install locally, same packages etc, less surprises when deploying21:13

dauntl3ssI like the sound of that because it's always lovely locally, it's when you get into the pesky production env that all this stuff pops up21:14
dauntl3ssthank you! I'll take a look now, maybe it'll be easier than all this upgrading downgrading ugh21:14
qwxleadauntl3ss: yes, it keeps your local workstation tidy, and the mess is in the docker image21:15
dauntl3ssI've read walkthroughs by this guy before, for Laravel and Paypal good stuff21:16
ducassescrum: you can also avoid reconfiguring for uefi if your mobo supports csm/legacy mode21:20

kostkonbaxx, only if you are after the latest version otherwise just install the one from the repos21:44
baxxkostkon: i seem to remember the ubuntu repos being a bit behind with latex stuff21:44
baxxive run this now, see if it breaks :S21:44
kostkonbaxx, suit yourself21:45
ducassebaxx: if it breaks, you're basically on your own, though - only repo software is supported here21:47

ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information.22:21
donofrioBashing-om, well it says from the link I posted that "Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Xenial Xerus Changes August 3, 2017" is the newest so you should update that bot22:22
baxxhow to find out the version number of a package in the ubuntu repo?22:22
MonkeyDustbaxx  apt policy [package]22:24
Bashing-omdonofrio: Note HWE .22:24
baxxMonkeyDust: ok cool thanks22:25
Bashing-om!hwe22:25
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack22:25
baxxMonkeyDust: if i've installed from a PPA, will this tell me info about that ppa ( as in, the PPA will redirect this command ), or will it still tell me about the main repo version?22:25
baxxwill purge work on something that's been installed from a PPA ?22:27
oerheksuse synaptic for detailed softwarecenter and filter22:27
oerheksnewest version gets priority, AFAIK22:28
baxxoerheks: newest version of what, ?22:28
baxxI just installed from a PPA, but I want to remove that and install from the repo22:28
baxx( installed texlive )22:28
oerheksoh, ppa-purge would do that22:29
Bashing-om!ppa | baxx22:29
ubottubaxx: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge22:29

ubottuTo 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html22:29
oerheksyou might need to logout/login after that22:30
baxxok cool - will that clean up what was installed by that PPA as well? Or just remove it from sources?22:31
baxxseems it'll clean up, cool ( i think )22:31
baxxhttp://vpaste.net/q5q3o  seems to suggest they do at least22:32
Bashing-ombaxx: But bear in mind nothing but you will touch config files in your /home directory .22:33
donofriowhy is 17.04 older than 16.04?22:33
oerheksdonofrio, huh?22:33
baxxBashing-om: you mean in my users ~/ directory ( where Documents etc is, .bashrc and such ) ?22:33
Bashing-omdonofrio: 16.04 == year 2016 and the 4th (04) month .22:34
donofrioit says 17.04 is april 2017 16.04 is auguest? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases22:34
Bashing-ombaxx: Yepper .. if any reside . It is yours, and nothing will invade "your" space .22:34
donofriojust trying to find out why no LTS for 17.04 is all I guess22:35
baxxBashing-om: OK cool, so if there were any files installed before In ~/ , then purging won't affect / remove them22:35
oerheksyou have been told 17.04 will not be LTS. and read carefull, 16.04.3 point release.22:35
Bashing-ombaxx: Correct .. that may or may not be a good thing .22:36
baxxBashing-om: yeah, hm - i'll check after there's not too much in there. Cheers22:36
Bashing-omdonofrio: A LTS is released on a 2 year cycle . 14 -16 - 18 . Those in between are supported for 9 months .22:38

noidI'm just writing something I just managed to connect to this IRC thing23:02
Toadisattvaat the end of the day whether you run a linux distro or windoze or an apple os or android or what have you it still boils down to a google search of "how do I fix this error"23:02

RalphBa if someone good with system architecture design has a bit time and would like to help me with an architectural decision please read https://pastebin.com/6b9pr02p and pm me23:19
bazhangRalphBa, ask here23:19
RalphBabazhang, I post this in the hope that a good software architect reads it23:20
bazhangRalphBa, better to give us a synopsis in channel first23:21
RalphBaits not really about ubuntu, but the chance is pretty high that one of the rare guys catches it23:21
bazhangRalphBa, is it about hardware23:21
RalphBano about creating a runtime23:21
RalphBaI'm speaking about software architecture23:22
bazhangRalphBa, then ask here and give us lots of details23:22
RalphBawell in that text is a lot of info, but I fear I should not post that all in here23:22
RalphBait is about a programming paradigm I'm about to design23:23
RalphBaI think organic programming describes it best23:23
bazhangtake it step by step RalphBa , this is an in channel support issue placee, not a PM me one23:24
pauljwdoesn't look like an ubuntu support issue from here, RalphBa23:25
RalphBano23:25
RalphBahow said, its a post for the rare guys, and since I do not know where they are I have to place it on locations the rare guys might see it and get interessted23:26
RalphBaif I'm lucky23:26
bazhangRalphBa, since it's not topical, you can try the chat channel or the appropriate place23:27
RalphBachat channel?23:28

hfpHi! I just put coreboot on my ThinkPad x230. It went well and I can boot into memtest, coreinfo, and tint. However, if I select to boot from my hard drive, it stays stuck a booting from disk. The OS is Ubuntu 17.04 with full disk encryption, with the Lenovo BIOS, it took me to a prompt to unlock the disk and boot. If I boot from USB, I can get Ubuntu to run from the LiveUSB. I suspect it is a bootloader23:38
hfpproblem rather than a BIOS problem but I'm not certain. How do I fix it?23:38
Toadisattvais secureboot enabled in the BIOS? I know that can conflict with disk encryption23:39
