[00:01] i have trouble with Artful and nvidia driver with encrypted system. It won't boot normally, failing at disk unlock. it works in recovery mode, and i think it's best the nvidia driver can't read from the encryped disk. [00:01] s/best/because [00:02] I either get the unlock prompt but the keyboard won't respond, or it wont display the unlock screen and just sits there showing black screen. [00:04] no luck with liquidsoap. compiled and looks like something failed in "make" [00:04] will continue tomorrow. Thank you anyway guys. good nite [00:07] huh, unfixed bug but only 'high' not critical since the system still boots, but only by going through recovery [00:07] why do i even upgrade anything anymore? [00:34] hi [00:34] could anybody help me fix tearing on my nv gtx950m? Nouveau doesn't play well on blender new versions [00:35] so I'm using nvidia proprietary [00:35] but I get tearing [00:36] 17.10 NVIDIA 384.90 [00:47] anyone experience firefox not closing when you click the close window x randomly [00:48] bcowan, are you having that issue? [00:49] bcowan, what versions of ubuntu and firefox is this for [00:49] yeah...sometimes i can click like ten times and it wont close. weird [00:50] 17.10 and 57 [00:51] happened before 57 also [00:51] bcowan, does it happen in safe mode? [00:52] ecv: According to NVidia, recommended driver for that card is 340.1040 [00:52] !info nvidia-340 [00:52] nvidia-340 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340): NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.104. In component restricted, is optional. Version 340.104-0ubuntu2 (artful), package size 28636 kB, installed size 139965 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; armhf) [00:54] kostkon, it will close immediately if i cntrl-q or goto the drop box and close just not from the x randomly [00:55] genii: ^ I see the 384 driver for the gtx950m : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/126577/en-us . Yes ? [00:56] Bashing-om: I found 340.1040 listed at https://www.geforce.com/drivers when searching there [00:57] genii: why does ubuntu install 384.90 on my system then? It should probe ? [00:57] ( which was apparently released Sept 19 this year, so pretty recent) [00:59] bcowan, about:support and try restarting firefox in safe mode and see if it's still failing to close [01:00] genii: thank you. I'll try 340.1040 and report back. Can I simply install from official repo with apt and all will be okay or need I take the official one from nvidia and do it manually ? [01:00] ecv: Installing nvidia-340 should remove the other [01:01] genii: thanks again [01:01] genii: IRT GTX950 driver . I do not know what to think now . But the 384 driver is the later release, no ? [01:01] It will just do some dkms magic [01:02] Bashing-om: Latest version is not always the optimum for a given older card [01:02] kostkon, ok..i'll try that [01:03] Aloha, I keep getting this "A start job is running for Raisee network interfaces(countdown/ 5min 10s) What is that supposed to mean? [01:04] genii, Debian is nice enough to have nvidia-detect which tells you the driver your card can use. Sadly that tool didn't port over (that I can tell) [01:04] Then the boot process continues and I get a Failed for setting up the network eth interface. How can I fix it I am running ubuntu server 16.04 LTS [01:05] If this is a dhcp error from the modem I can set up a fixed ip if someone instructs me on how to do that. [01:06] I just went to install a package on one of the boxes and it says.. [01:06] The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic : Depends: linux-headers-4.4.0-98 but it is not going to be installed [01:06] The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic : Depends: linux-headers-4.4.0-98 but it is not going to be installed [01:06] The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic : Depends: linux-headers-4.4.0-98 but it is not going to be installed [01:06] The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic : Depends: linux-headers-4.4.0-98 but it is not going to be installed [01:07] Oops lol [01:07] Boobie, http://paste.ubuntu.com [01:07] tharkun, you can do so by modifying /etc/network/interfaces [01:08] kostkon... how do I skip this linux-headers-4.4.0-98-generic dependency? [01:08] Boobie, what release are you on [01:08] Oh wait, does 17.10 use NetPlan now? [01:08] rfleming: So far so good what is the man page for that? [01:09] or how can I test the dhcp server on the modem? [01:09] Kostkon: 16.04 [01:09] tharkun, check https://websiteforstudents.com/configuring-static-ips-ubuntu-17-10-servers/ [01:09] sure, you don't have a server... but it's the same thing [01:11] tharkun, What version are you running? [01:11] Boobie, sudo apt update and then sudo apt full-upgrade [01:11] 16.04 LTS, 17.04, 17.10... Unity, GNOME, Budgie? [01:11] KDE, etc. [01:11] Boobie, use the ubuntu pastebin for the outputs [01:12] kostkon, I definitely can't do that [01:13] It's a production server running live [01:13] Boobie, oh [01:13] kostkon, why do you need to skip the dependency? [01:14] rfleming, not me, Boobie [01:14] sorry... Boobie, why do you need to skip the dependency [01:14] * rfleming going through the logs [01:14] What's the fstab option to auto-mount at login, instead of at boot? [01:15] I came late to this party and am missing some of the logs. What's the issue Boobie? [01:15] genii [01:15] err now my laptop won't boot anymore [01:16] i actualyl dont think it does it. i need to do this in the user's login script? [01:16] it's stuck in the booting log and I can't even switch to another terminal through CTRL+Fx [01:17] rfleming: 16.04 LTS server [01:17] ecv, what laptop do you have? [01:17] tharkun, ok, The instructions I gave you are wrong then [01:17] tharkun, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html [01:17] the server guide is an awesome resource [01:18] rfleming: medion erazer p6681 [01:19] ecv: So what's been done? [01:19] rfleming: I'm trying to install silversearcher-ag [01:19] Boobie, on what? [01:19] sorry p6679 [01:20] rfleming, 16.04 [01:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26061684/ [01:20] rfleming: switched nvidia drivers from 384.90 to 340 [01:20] ecv: At the login screen, can you activate a console interface ( ctl+alt+F2 ) ? [01:20] What version are you using? 16.04 LTS, 17.04, 17.10? [01:20] Bashing-om: no, I can't [01:21] 17.10 [01:21] ecv, can you ssh into it? [01:21] not sure I got ssh server set up === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [01:21] maybe there's some grub option I can add to use vesa or something like that? [01:21] ecv: next then is a recovery console . can you get to grub's boot menu ? [01:21] Boobie: So you're trying to install silversearcher-ag on xenial. What's the problem? [01:22] Bashing-om: ok i will [01:22] ecv, while booting (after post but before Ubuntu logo), press and hold shift. That should bring up the GRUB menu [01:22] then you can select recoveyr mode [01:22] recovery even [01:23] ok done [01:24] did you get into recovery mode? [01:24] I think you have to go to 'advanced options' then recovery [01:25] tharkun, working out for you? [01:26] ecv, do you know if your laptop has something called Discreet Graphics? [01:26] ecv, looking at the hardware, it appears it might [01:26] thank you guys that fixed it [01:27] i was able to install 384 back [01:27] sweet [01:27] yes rfleming, its got an intel and an nvidia [01:28] ecv: Not fixed : We do want that old old driver replaces with the 384 version: https://www.geforce.com/drivers . [01:28] ecv, OK, now that you're booted normally, everything is working out? If you go to Drivers you can make sure they're there [01:28] i have "prime" showing on nvidia-settings, howerver I get bad tearing when running a game [01:28] ecv, you may have to change the profile from intel to nvidia [01:28] it's set to nvidia [01:29] hey how are you [01:30] Bashing-om: where did genii get that my recommend version is 340? I don't see that one in the list [01:31] actually 384.90 is among the recommended ones [01:32] rfleming: I had to dust off some of my old knowledge on interfaces I adapted it to the new nomenclature and it does work. I get a ip on the computer but I am not sure if that is working ok with the router. Is there a way to test the nic directly on ubuntu? [01:32] ecv: I "thinK" he missed up on the 9 seroes (legacy) as opposed to the 900M seroes . // tearing .. wayland not to settled down yet. see: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2365449 . Maybe a help . [01:33] thank you Bashing-om [01:33] rfleming: the ip addr ls does report an ip and route -n and ip route ls both report the appropiate routing tables yet no connectivity so far. [01:34] tharkun, that's strange. So even though you have a valid IP address for the network you wish to be on, you have no connectivity? [01:34] ecv: Let is all know how it goes . We all have a lot to learn here . [01:34] is/us* [01:34] rfleming: exactly. I logged into the router and it says no device connected. [01:35] would anyone be so kind and help me setup accesslog in lighttpd, my first issue i cant even access /var/log/lighttpd even with sudo permission is denied [01:35] tharkun, you could use netcat === ecv2 is now known as ecv [01:35] tharkun, nc -vz IP_Address Port [01:35] tharkun, nc -vz 8.8.8.8 53 [01:35] checks DNS [01:36] rfleming: I tried directly a local ip nc -vz 192.168.1.72 which is up and running and I get No route to host. [01:37] Bashing-om: sure will :) [01:38] tharkun, what does 'ip route show' show you [01:39] rfleming: 192.168.1.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.65 |linkdown [01:40] That is the relevant part docker0 interface is also down yet I haven't set it up yet. [01:41] so the link is down [01:41] tharkun, can you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces? [01:42] rfleming: sorry I can't I would have to copy it alltogether but it is fine. Trust me on that piece of info. [01:43] ip addr ls and ip route ls reflect exactly the info I asked for the nmcli to set up. [01:43] Ok I just figured that there is no nmcli programm running. [01:44] tharkun, I'm just wondering if you have auto enp1s0 in interfaces [01:44] as that will turn up the interface on boot [01:44] yes [01:44] and this is 16.04 lts [01:45] yes [01:45] * rfleming didn't think 16.04 had that naming [01:45] It does turn it on upon boot but it seems to be awfully wrong. I spotted a typo on interfaces let me fix it and see what happens. [01:45] tharkun, what happens if you sudo ifup enp1s0 [01:46] rfleming: enp1s0 >> systemd naming . [01:47] rfleming: the command is accepted and no error is reported [01:48] tharkun, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26061772/ [01:48] tharkun, whatever your gateway is, change to it [01:48] Bashing-om: yes a pita when you are halfway there between the previous nomenclature and the new one. [01:48] rfleming: the gateway is 192.168.1.254 what do you mean change to it? [01:48] I get no local connectivity so far. [01:49] does 16.04 use netplan? [01:49] tharkun: Yes. agreed . converting from the prior upstart scripts/means to that of systemd, a big change . [01:49] tharkun, real dumb question... but is your nic plugged in? [01:50] * rfleming is confused as this is a simple issue [01:50] rfleming: I took the machine took two steps back and the router moved with us. I believe it is firmly connected :) [01:51] lights are blinky blinky [01:51] rfleming: no leds on either side neither on the router nor on the j45 connector. [01:52] Bashing-om: I got all the checks positive and though I wouldn't swear by it, I think it worked :) [01:53] at least the game feels less choppy now, well less tearing [01:54] rfleming: I took the cable out and connected it to this old lady and no blinky blinky on this piece of hw. Can we conclude that the router ports are dead? [01:54] can't check that guy's video since I don't have an account. Also if you could thank him I'd appreciate [01:55] rfleming: ' arp -a ' all fields are sane ? [01:56] ecv: Outstanding .. will in that case add you note to the forum thread. [01:56] is this video supposed to play smooth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xkNy9gfKOg Mine feels a bit choppy but I'm not sure I'm seeing tearing [01:57] ecv: I see what it looks like . be aware on this work station I have no audio . [01:57] it's mute [01:58] Bashing-om, it's tharkun with the issue [01:58] I usually prefer not to register if I don't have to... [01:58] ecv, yes, but makes me sick :) [01:59] ecv: the test is smooth to me . [01:59] it's smooth for you? hm [02:00] should I turn the quality slider all the way up in nvidia-settings perhaps ? [02:00] ecv: do you have the option to use GNOME on Xorg? [02:00] Sorry, Ubuntu on Xorg [02:00] rfleming: The other alternative so far is to set up wireless networking from cli yet I am no expert specially since there is no nmcli to handle all the wpasupplicant connectivity. Any resources you know of or should I just lmgtfy.com that. [02:00] that way you can test if it's wayland or your driver [02:01] rfleming: how to check? [02:02] ecv, https://askubuntu.com/questions/961304/how-do-you-switch-from-wayland-back-to-xorg-in-ubuntu-17-10 [02:02] log out, click the gear icon beside 'sign in' and choose Ubuntu on Xorg [02:03] thank you [02:05] Bashing-om, now we wait [02:05] tharkun, I don't know much about setting up the wifi from cli [02:05] sorry [02:06] anyone know how to fix Firefox form colour mangling with dark themes? [02:07] rfleming: never mind wireless from the cli is a black art not as hard as compiling cups from source but indeed something out of the beaten path. Thanks for your time and support. [02:07] Hi all, is anyone familiar with adding DNS servers to Ubuntu? [02:07] 17* [02:07] templeton: who manages your interfaces? [02:07] network manager or are they static? [02:07] I see resolv.conf is managed by systemd, but not sure how to add a DNS server [02:08] network manager [02:08] I added the DNs servers with NMCLI to my wireless interface [02:08] then restarted [02:08] tharkun, sorry. It's straight forward [02:08] but still not working [02:08] rfleming: I don't have that cogwheel in my login screen [02:09] templeton, you have to modify /etc/systemd/resolved.conf [02:09] templeton: if you edit resolv.conf network manager will reset it to the info it hass you need to either use nmcli to instruct network manager from the cli or use the graphical interface to do so. [02:09] Ahhh [02:09] /etc/systemd/resolved.conf looks promising [02:10] I must have goofed somewhere with NMCLI. it seemed to add the namservers fine, saved and restarted but still is not working [02:11] templeton: dig +trace @8.8.8.8 yahoo.com [02:12] That should tell you a piece of information or two that can help you have a certain view of what is wrong. [02:12] @templeton did you get your interfaces configured at /etc/netplan/?? [02:12] for the sake of sanity if you have enough clients setting up your own dns server is not such a pita [02:12] it's a config per interface in yaml format [02:13] Not sure about netplan [02:13] Just connected with Gnome network-manager [02:13] jakeunltd: @ is reserve for channel ops no use on irc the simple nick works best [02:13] to wifi [02:13] ;P [02:13] welcome to the world where ifconfig / iwconfig is dead [02:13] rfleming: I used several methods found on a forum and I found out I'm not using Wayland but X11, what now? [02:13] I have DNS server and a bunch of CentOS and RHEL 7 VMs that work fine [02:13] sounds gook tharkun [02:13] this is my first Ubuntu (laptop) [02:14] ecv, Oh, interesting. I don't know why you're getting screen tearing [02:14] jakeunltd: Your welcome. Also most irc clients have tab completion you may try it also. [02:14] I got a Lenovo Yoga for my Ubuntu Laptop this time. Ran Ubuntu since 5.04 [02:14] jakeunltd: Bragging. rotfl [02:14] rfleming: is wayland sort of an X server replacement ? [02:14] ecv, yes. === allizom1 is now known as allizom [02:15] rfleming: I just got the Lenovo Yoga as well! [02:15] rfleming: I'm not sure it's tearing anymore, maybe it's just choppy, not sure :S [02:15] Thats what I'm trying to get to use my DNS server hah [02:15] ecv, try this https://askubuntu.com/a/858019 [02:15] ecv: wayland is the new graphics interface for linux. As I recall it is way lighter and has many advantages over X unless your usual wm is not supported any more :( [02:15] ecv, or are you using 17.10? [02:16] tharkun: sounds exciting [02:16] tharkun: the problem I ran into was wayland and display-link dont play nice yet. [02:16] rfleming: yes, 17,10 [02:16] They're not going to support it until an LTS of Ubuntu using wayland [02:16] templeton: if your computers are using dhcp force the dhcp server to feed that ip to them and thats is. [02:16] I've added my dns server to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, doesnt seem to work though. [02:17] tharkun: is it piped like X? can you use it over SSH? [02:17] jakeunltd: I am still running X and headless so no contact with wayland yet. [02:17] Computers are getting DHCP from my router, but I could not find a way to add a local DNS server [02:17] TP-Link [02:17] ecv: ^^ [02:17] Maybe I should have setup a DHCP server while i was at it... [02:17] templeton: Sorry no TP-Link around but google for the piece of manual you are missing from your hw. [02:17] ecv, do you want to use hybrid mode (switch back and forth between intel and nvidia)? [02:18] templeton: :D [02:18] tharkun: yes? sorry I don't remember much about this all, maybe I asked silly question [02:18] ecv, This guy goes through a real thorough answer. https://askubuntu.com/a/941735 [02:19] ecv: ^^^ [02:19] rfleming: not really. I think intel would be nice for the few times I use the laptop on battery but not really [02:20] rfleming: thank you [02:20] ecv, hopefully this guys answer will really help you out [02:22] rfleming: Thanks again I will take the hw to a different site and test cable and nic there. I have no more diagnostics tools around. Have a nice $DATE :) [02:23] tharkun, cheers! You're welcome and good luck! [02:31] *sigh* okay I got it working [02:31] no idea what actually fixed it though [02:31] I changed.. a lot [02:32] Worked fine after restarting systemd-resolv, just not sure what I change was the fix. I had been restarting resolv.service [02:32] Thanks everyone for the help -- definitely pointed me in the correct direciton [02:37] Dont understand why there are 15 places to update name servers in Ubuntu and no idea which one is really being used.. Felt like I was going mad for a minute [02:37] anyway.. The ThinkPad Yoga 14 is awesome and everything worked out of the box with Ubuntu. so that's nice [02:44] ecv: ^^ IIRC - 17.10 does not have lightdm as the manager .is now GDM .

[06:12] i need to install smartctl first, hold on [06:12] sharkasdf: it's in smartmontools [06:13] Passed [06:13] No errors logged [06:13] Finished in like 2 seconds [06:13] sharkasdf: can you pastebin the full output? [06:15] ducasse: paste.ee/p/RSDFt [06:16] hello, anyone using xpad on ubuntu xenial ? mine doesn't launch anymore meanwhile i had lots of notes saved i neeed to revise [06:20] afidegnum: run it from a terminal to see if it shows any errors [06:20] sharkasdf: from what i can see, that looks good. a drive can still fail even if smartctl gives no indication, but it's usually a good indicator. [06:20] alkisg: no error shown [06:21] afidegnum: and it just doesn't launch? [06:21] can i point to the /dev/sda1 in the boot file or something so that it finds the hdd? [06:21] the xpad icon appears on the launcher for few seconds then dissapear [06:22] I bought an X1 Carbon ( 2017 ) and installed Ubunutu on it which works great but when i shutdown the system it remains in a somewhat strange state - everything is off but the power indicator still shows that it would be running - and i cannot turn it back on again either ( i have to hold down the power button to cut the power and then restart ) [06:22] afidegnum: I'm not using xpad, but it might have broken settings. The usual paths for settings are ~/.config/xpad or ~/.xpad , try moving the config directory aside to see if it works with clean settings [06:23] ok, thanks, let me check [06:24] sharkasdf: the "did not authenticate" message could mean that you had secure boot disabled, and at some point you enabled it again in the bios, while you don't have signed kernels installed. Did you do anything related to bios settings before that happened? [06:26] thyriaen: did you try sudo halt -p [06:26] lotuspsychje, no - is that worth a shot ? [06:27] thyriaen: just as a test what system does [06:27] thyriaen: also try F1 at shutdown process to see text based, whats happening [06:27] alkisg: i havent touched the bios ever. i just powered down removed the battery and held the power button to reset. im going to see if that works [06:27] sharkasdf: right, that's the same as bios reset, so you probably re-enabled secure boot there [06:28] sharkasdf: go to bios and disable it temporarily, to see if it boots [06:28] lotuspsychje, alright will do that and report back :P [06:28] thyriaen: good luck [06:28] ok, im currently running smart check and its running, better than before [06:30] alkisg: is there a way to find the error generated log by xpad ? [06:30] afidegnum, run it from the termianl [06:30] *terminal [06:30] afidegnum: in general, programs log to ~/.xsession-errors, but since it doesn't show it to the terminal... hard to tell. Didn't clean settings help? [06:30] cfhowlett: that's what i did [06:31] alkisg: cleaning the settings helped, but i want to recover some notes [06:31] lotuspsychje, it does the same and unfortunatly i could not see any textoutputs [06:32] afidegnum: you'd need to have some programming background to dive more... using strace or recompiling the program with debug options etc [06:32] alkisg: i cant even get to the bios f2/del before it just shows 'selected boot image did not authenticate'. the smart disk check doesnt show up anymore [06:32] I can load it with f2 though [06:32] is ubuntu's default mail server exim? [06:33] if so, https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-patch-available-for-rce-bug-affecting-half-of-the-internets-email-servers/ if not, ignore me [06:33] alkisg: yes i have some programming background but what to move is the issue [06:34] alkisg: i disabled secure boot but now i see grub> [06:34] afidegnum: for example, if you put back the config folder, and run `strace xpad`, you see the system calls, and maybe one of those can give you a hint [06:36] sharkasdf: it sounds like you had different bios settings when you installed, and different now. For example, maybe you had uefi enabled and now you switched it off and put it to legacy mode [06:37] sharkasdf: by removing the battery, you restored all bios settings... [06:37] ' [06:37] sa [06:37] dfas [06:37] dfsadf [06:37] lotuspsychje, switched off quiet splash and now i got a output [06:37] so try loading the bios and changing settings until the os loads? [06:40] thyriaen: aha [06:41] lotuspsychje, here you go https://imgur.com/a/IsutJ [06:42] thyriaen: not sure why, can you try a shutdown from the guest account? [06:44] lotuspsychje, sure if you think that would give any additional insights :) [06:45] thyriaen: wanan know if its user related [06:45] lotuspsychje, ok - brb :) [06:46] sharkasdf: it's also possible to try the "recover grub" routine from the live cd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System [06:50] lotuspsychje, hangs at about the same place https://imgur.com/a/2lIni [06:51] thyriaen: hmm ok === mojtaba1 is now known as mojtaba [06:55] hello [06:55] How do you pick a domain for your home systems or laptops? Just something random? [06:56] pretty sure most of us just go with the automagic default, foul_owl [06:56] foul_owl: I used to go with Sherlock Holmes characters. [06:57] Ah, I haven't used the ubuntu installer in awhile, it picks a domain for you now? [06:57] foul_owl: heh I'll think of a name while building the machine, usually have somethihng in mind when it comes to OS installation time [06:58] The hardest part of tech is picking names for things...I feel like there should be a guide somewhere, haha [06:58] http://dilbert.com/strip/2000-06-16 === mojtaba1 is now known as mojtaba [06:59] i have a custom uri handler, but it doesn't seem to load/detect user-defined environment variables when the executing the command defined by the Exec key in my .desktop file. does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? [07:01] nevermind [07:01] i found it [07:08] Trying to do a long test to a SSD with gsmartcontrol on 16.04.3. Gsmartcontrol seems to crash and another Ubuntu user is reporting same behaviour. Could someone run a test? [07:09] join #linux [07:09]
