| tomreyn | rolandbeowulf: not something i've run to before, but i haven't used this release. it might be a hint on low RAM. how much memory do yuo have there? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | free -g would tell | 00:07 |
| rolandbeowulf | 8 GB, i've checked htop though and it doesnt seem like my usage is *that* high | 00:10 |
| rolandbeowulf | also it only lags over icons, which seems to imply it might be some sort of software issue | 00:11 |
| rolandbeowulf | as if there is some sort of smooth slowdown over icons that isnt working properly | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | or a graphics driver issue | 00:16 |
| rolandbeowulf | Also i cant seem to find the option to set up a second display in the new gnome interface | 00:17 |
| rolandbeowulf | Looks like the issue was wayland | 00:24 |
| rolandbeowulf | I logged out and back into xorg and it works perfectly | 00:25 |
| rolandbeowulf | detects both displays too | 00:25 |
| rolandbeowulf | Does anyone happen to know how to get the sidebar thing to display at the bottom? | 00:26 |
| bazhang | rolandbeowulf, what version of ubuntu is this | 00:27 |
| rolandbeowulf | 17.10 | 00:27 |
| bazhang | rolandbeowulf, did you mean the unity laucher on the left | 00:28 |
| rolandbeowulf | yeah | 00:28 |
| bazhang | thats not possible | 00:28 |
| bazhang | you could install gnome-shell, the other gnome3 shell | 00:29 |
| rolandbeowulf | Actually just did it i think | 00:29 |

| rscheideman | what is the story on 17.10 where openssh server does not start right away because the local nic is not activated right away in the install. | 01:11 |
| howudodat | ok, I'm back with my display problem. read-edid shows Mode 0 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync +vsync, so the device seems to be reporting the correct information for 2560x1440, however neither X nor wayland are picking up that resolution and are defaulting to 1920x1080 | 01:12 |
| rscheideman | and why is ifconfig not installed by default | 01:12 |
| Mathisen | use ip instead | 01:12 |
| rscheideman | so after using ifconfig since 4.10 i know have toi use ip....sad chose | 01:13 |
| Loshki | rscheideman: I understand ifconfig has been obsoleted, but is still available in net-tools or similar | 01:14 |
| rscheideman | Loshki: but why and when did this happen? | 01:16 |
| Loshki | rscheideman: apparently you are not the only person to ask: https://serverfault.com/questions/633087/where-is-the-statement-of-deprecation-of-ifconfig-on-linux | 01:17 |
| rscheideman | Loshki: i mean it might be the case it is not lts version and they are trying something new | 01:19 |
| rscheideman | i don't remeber it in 17.04 | 01:19 |
| damian | hey guys. just installed 17.10 trying to get samba up and running (done this a heap of times before) | 01:22 |
| damian | i've modified my smb.conf to include the [share] i want and configured it as i've done others in the past, i've smbpasswd the user | 01:22 |
| rscheideman | damian: what is happening? | 01:22 |
| damian | but whenever i try and \\browse it throws me an auth error | 01:22 |
| damian | wondering if something's changed in recent versions, as i haven't configured it since 16.04 or so | 01:23 |
| rscheideman | with everything they hace changed in 17.10 i am not surprised | 01:24 |
| rscheideman | i think i will stick with 16.04 until 18.04 comes out. | 01:24 |
| amirite | asdf | 01:25 |
| damian | lol damnit | 01:26 |
| amirite | i wrote a script and systemd service file for it. the script crashes on first run because it depends on something being available (an AWS IAM instance role not yet in effect), so I set the file to Restart=on-failure and RestartSec=10 but it doesn't run again. it just fails once and moves on. | 01:32 |
| amirite | how do I make it restart on failure? | 01:32 |

| qq_ | mutante, i have dual boot | 02:08 |
| mutante | seems like a Windows thing? | 02:08 |
| qq_ | yeah | 02:08 |
| mutante | so it's not really an Ubuntu question? sorry, what's the acutal question again? | 02:08 |
| qq_ | i have windows and ubuntu that i am not using already for a year since it has broken :( | 02:08 |
| mutante | what do you want to achieve? | 02:08 |
| qq_ | i want to recover my ubuntu partition | 02:09 |
| qq_ | when i boot the computer | 02:09 |
| qq_ | i do not get that window to dual boot | 02:09 |
| mutante | but? aren't you already on it.. so you can run these commands? | 02:09 |
| Bashing-om | qq_: No ubuntu there in sda. All Windows .. // how do you know there was ever a ubuntu install on this drive ? | 02:09 |
| qq_ | and now i have tried to see if the linux partition is detected, and i am not seeing it :( | 02:09 |
| qq_ | i have 3 drives in my laptop | 02:09 |

| Bashing-om | qq_: As you think 3 drives . pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' . we see what the story is then . | 02:11 |
| mutante | mitmf: do you control 192.168.0.34 ? | 02:11 |
| mitmf | control? | 02:11 |
| mitmf | i didn’t anything | 02:12 |
| mutante | mitmf: "have root" "be the admin" | 02:12 |
| mutante | is it your own machine or someone elses? | 02:12 |
| mutante | that kind of "control" | 02:12 |
| mitmf | it is raspberry pi | 02:12 |
| qq_ | Bashing-om, mutante, https://pastebin.com/ZguciGji | 02:12 |
| mitmf | ubuntu ——> raspberry pi | 02:13 |
| mutante | mitmf: login on rasberry pi locally, then once you are on it, i would try "ssh localhost" first to see how that goes.. then i would use netstat and ps to check if sshd is running and the port is open.. | 02:13 |

| Bashing-om | qq_: No command . The linux partition does exist - what are your thoughts on what you want now to do with it ? | 02:18 |
| qq_ | well, i dont know. what are the possibilities to do with it? | 02:19 |
| qq_ | i just want to recover my ubuntu and files that i had in it | 02:19 |
| qq_ | Bashing-om, | 02:19 |
| Bashing-om | qq_: Wre me, I would reset the boot priority in bios to boot the sdd drive . see what rsults . depending on results, maybe check that file system and see what it takes to boot it ?? | 02:21 |
| qq_ | wre means to talk with u in private? | 02:21 |
| qq_ | Bashing-om, how to i check the file system and how after that i see what it takes to boot it? | 02:23 |
| Bashing-om | qq_: wre is a typo .. should be were :) | 02:23 |
| qq_ | ah. ok | 02:24 |
| Bashing-om | qq_: Let's see what results in resetting the boot priority in bios to that hard drive . If it does not boot then we run a file system check and then install( re-install ) the boot code to the sdd drive . sound like a plan ? | 02:25 |
| qq_ | Bashing-om, ok, sounds good | 02:28 |
| qq_ | let me try then do to this. will be back shortly ;). thanks | 02:28 |
| Bashing-om | qq_: I will await your return :) | 02:28 |

| ulysses_ | What ppa are you using to get the package? | 07:37 |
| ulysses_ | If using the default, try looking into a ppa directly from the dev and then trying | 07:38 |
| m3rlin | I'm not using ppa, just official repository | 07:38 |
| ulysses_ | There could be a missing package that's been taken out of the official repo | 07:38 |
| m3rlin | yep, should I build from source using buildep? | 07:39 |
| ulysses_ | Wouldn't hurt to try | 07:40 |
| ulysses_ | I think I had this same issue actually and my solution was in the alternate PPA, but I don't remember what or where, it's been a while and I don't play too many PSP games | 07:41 |
| ulysses_ | But! I wish you luck brave wizard | 07:42 |

| lotuspsychje | m3rlin: but better then random install things, lookup what you need first? | 07:45 |

| lotuspsychje | m3rlin: how about you tell us what you really want to do? end goal? | 07:47 |
| m3rlin | lotuspsychje, just download pspp packages and for resolving dependency with apt-get -f install. I hope it works | 07:48 |
| lotuspsychje | m3rlin: did you install external ppa's of any kind? | 07:49 |

| hateball | if you intend to do any amount of gaming then nouveau (and wayland) wont cut it | 09:03 |
| ylwghst | yes definitely... | 09:04 |

| MacroMan | Can anyone help with my sed command please? | 10:30 |
| MacroMan | I posted too soon. I removed the ? from my sed command and it functions as expected. | 10:44 |
| akik | MacroMan: i was just going to reply that adding -r would've removed it too | 10:49 |

| ducasse | robozi: he won't usually be here for several more hours | 12:16 |
| ducasse | robozi: what can we help with? | 12:16 |
| robozi | Last night he was trying to help me to recover my ubuntu | 12:17 |
| ducasse | recover how? what had happened to it? | 12:19 |
| robozi | Ducasse nomodeset problem | 12:20 |
| robozi | I have logged in in the virtual terminal from the unity gui | 12:21 |
| robozi | And after that he had to leave | 12:21 |
| bunnypuncher | what do you mean by nomodeset problem? | 12:22 |
| ducasse | robozi: so, if you're messing with nomodeset i'm guessing you had graphics problems? and now you want to add nomodeset flag or you want to remove it? | 12:23 |
| bunnypuncher | you want to change it where you have nomodeset | 12:23 |
| robozi | When i choose the ubuntu OS i have to edit the grub to include the word nomodeset otherwise i get a black scree after ubuntu logo | 12:24 |
| bunnypuncher | so you want to make it permenant | 12:24 |
| bunnypuncher | we can help you with that | 12:24 |
| ducasse | robozi: what kind of gpu do you have? | 12:24 |
| thyriaen | i am running 16.04. on my x1 carbon - and since today i am experiencing screen flicker - T_T what can i do ? | 12:25 |
| robozi | Ducasse, i have already addet it and i can login till the the ubuntu login s8creen. But after i insert my credentials the interface refreshes. See here: https://youtu.be/SNm4JNo5-gs | 12:26 |
| robozi | I have the gtx 870 | 12:26 |
| bunnypuncher | thyriaen: so you just accept screen flicker? | 12:27 |
| bunnypuncher | and nomodeset makes it where you can login? | 12:28 |
| thyriaen | bunnypuncher, i don't know what i mean ? :p | 12:28 |
| robozi | Bunnypuncher, yes | 12:29 |
| bunnypuncher | well it is easy enough to make nomodeset permeant edit /etc/default/grub.conf and rerun update-grub | 12:30 |
| bunnypuncher | but the fact you need that means video driver issues | 12:31 |
| bunnypuncher | have tried nvidia driver? | 12:31 |
| robozi | Ok. But i dont kbow how to install it from the virtual terminal | 12:32 |
| bunnypuncher | they have command line tool you run and it installs the drivers | 12:32 |
| bunnypuncher | https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/111596 | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, did you drop to a VT/TTY login and install dkms and the nvidia-381 driver? | 12:33 |
| Whooa21 | Hey, quick question. I just dist-upgraded my 16.04 installation and compiz is constantly segfaulting and trying to restart. Is there a way to prevent compiz from constantly restarting so that I can try and debug this? | 12:35 |
| bunnypuncher | you can try this: unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity | 12:38 |
| bunnypuncher | I don't use that tool however | 12:39 |
| bunnypuncher | that might reset all of unity | 12:39 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, virtual terminal or VT use ctl+alt+F1-F6, login, then sudo apt install dkms nvidia-381, then reboot | 12:39 |
| bunnypuncher | do you have bunch of stuff configured | 12:39 |
| bunnypuncher | other option: rm -rf .compiz* | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, this at the login page btw | 12:41 |
| Whooa21 | I'd rather try and fix my current setup than try and reconfigure unity and all the compiz plugins I use, thanks though. | 12:41 |
| robozi | Whooa21. So in the virtual menu i have to run that command? | 12:42 |
| Whooa21 | ...wrong person :p | 12:42 |
| Whooa21 | yeah sorry got confused | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, yes | 12:43 |
| bunnypuncher | Whooa21 totally understand | 12:44 |
| bunnypuncher | this may do the trick to disable the desktop effects | 12:45 |
| bunnypuncher | gconftool-2 --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager | 12:45 |
| bunnypuncher | that tool can toogle many many settings for the desktop | 12:46 |
| bunnypuncher | you can turn them back on after you debug it | 12:48 |
| ozette | can i somehow 'log out' and only use a basic shell, and not display any compiz and windows? | 12:58 |
| ozette | can i somehow 'log out' and only use a basic shell, and not display any compiz and windows? | 12:59 |
| ozette | stuff is way too heavy for the small virtual machine i'm running | 12:59 |
| hateball | ozette: well you can stop X/Wayland/GDM and sit at a tty | 13:00 |
| hateball | ozette: and if you don't need a GUI at all you might as well have gone with ubuntu-server | 13:01 |
| acresearch | people, how do i burn a dvd in ubuntu 17.10? the forums say there should be a "create CD/DVD option but there isn't" anyone can help me please? | 13:03 |
| ozette | hateball: why ubuntu server? | 13:05 |
| ozette | just because it comes without gui? | 13:05 |
| robozi | Blueskaj, i have run that command and i got : unable to locate pqckage nvidia-381 | 13:05 |
| robozi | But i am connected to the internet via wire | 13:06 |
| tomreyn | ozette: i guess so. this seems like a good idea if you're low on resources, | 13:07 |
| ozette | not sure what ubuntu-server comes with, but I just want to cross compile some software | 13:07 |
| hateball | ozette: has a different kernel as well, geared towards running server duty. nothing stopping you from simply switching runlevels etc on the desktop install | 13:07 |
| tomreyn | ozette: so you don't need a gui, no need for X, just what ubuntu-server provides | 13:07 |
| hateball | and you can switch to the server kernel as well | 13:07 |
| ozette | hmm | 13:07 |
| hateball | just seems a hassle compared to installing what you need in the first place | 13:07 |
| tomreyn | hateball: i think the kernel is the same really | 13:08 |
| hateball | ozette: if this is 17.10 I think that comes with nvidia-384 | 13:08 |
| hateball | ozette: oopes, I mean robozi ^ | 13:08 |
| akik | ozette: if it's a systemd system: sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target; sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target | 13:08 |
| tomreyn | hateball: actually i'm quite sure. | 13:08 |
| ozette | akik: this will bring me back to basic? | 13:09 |
| akik | ozette: it'll stop the graphical ui | 13:09 |
| hateball | robozi: you can type nvidia-38 and then press tab to have the shell autocomplete whatever package it is you have available | 13:09 |
| ozette | okay awesome, will try | 13:09 |
| hateball | !tab | robozi | 13:09 |
| ubottu | robozi: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:09 |
| tomreyn | installing ubuntu-server and purging ubuntu-desktop may also help | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, which ubuntu version are you on? | 13:09 |
| robozi | Ubuntu 14.04 lts | 13:10 |
| robozi | And the tab does not work | 13:10 |
| hateball | robozi: 14.04 has an older driver, probably something like nvidia-367 | 13:10 |
| robozi | And i ambusing irc from phone | 13:10 |
| hateball | robozi: at any rate you can also just run "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" and it will fetch and install any restricted drivers needed | 13:11 |
| robozi | I need to install nvidia 367 or 367-dev? | 13:11 |
| hateball | robozi: not the dev package, that is for compiling things | 13:11 |
| hateball | robozi: I don't remember if 367 is new enough to support the chip you have, possibly you need to use nvidia PPA for a more recent driver | 13:12 |
| robozi | How dobi use ppa? | 13:14 |
| hateball | robozi: in case you need it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-387 | 13:15 |
| acresearch | people, how do i burn a dvd in ubuntu 17.10? the forums say there should be a "create CD/DVD option but there isn't" anyone can help me please? | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | the nvidia site recommends the 384 driver for gtx870m ...is that your gpu, robozi? | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | linux driver | 13:17 |
| hateball | 384 is "LTS" driver | 13:17 |
| hateball | whereas 387 is "current" | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, we're trying find the correct driver for his gpu, current or not | 13:18 |
| hateball | meaning that 387 will be superseded by something like nvidia-390 when that is released, and 384 will only get backported fixes | 13:19 |
| hateball | they'll both work | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, try to install nvidia-384 | 13:19 |
| robozi | Blueskaj, ok. Installed it. But in the unity gui after i enter my password i get the same problem | 13:22 |
| robozi | As i have showed u in the video | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | you have to reboot robozi | 13:22 |
| acresearch | people i am trying to burn a DVD of documents as backup, it is not working in ubuntu 17.10 i keep getting an error saying "something went wrong ejecting disk" i am using braserro can someone help me burn these DVD? is there is default setting in ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| robozi | Blueskaj, yah i have rebooted | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | you can remove the nomodeset from grub if you added where "quiet splash" was previously | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | Go to the line starting with 'kernel' | 13:28 |
| ezra-s | acresearch: in my experience brasero fails 8 out of 10 times, no matter the year , if its just documents try commandline mkisofs + wodim or similar or try a better gui | 13:29 |
| acresearch | ezra-s: i can burn through the command line? | 13:29 |
| acresearch | ezra-s: can you tell me how to do it? | 13:29 |
| robozi | Blueskaj, tried it now and without modeset i get the blackscreen after ubuntu logo | 13:30 |
| ezra-s | acresearch: not right now, going for lunch, but do search about what I told you | 13:30 |
| hateball | robozi: if you run "lspci -k" from a tty, what module is listed as loaded for your GPU? | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, wonder if he needs to blacklist nouveau | 13:32 |
| hateball | the packages should do that automatically, but lspci -k will tell what the situation is | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | acresearch, try this command: wodim -eject -tao speed=0 dev=/dev/sr0 -v -data /my/directory/ my/directory being the path to the files you want to copy | 13:36 |
| robozi | Blueskaj , Dww https://imgur.com/gallery/bJgDY | 13:36 |
| acresearch | I tried growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -r -J /path/to/files but i get the following error: :-[ WRITE@LBA=220h failed with SK=3h/WRITE ERROR]: Input/output error | 13:37 |
| acresearch | BluesKaj: ok i will try it 1 moment | 13:37 |
| acresearch | BluesKaj: i got a long print out but basically saying Operation not permitted. i used sudo | 13:38 |
| geirha | If you see the NOTES section in growisofs man-page, it specifically disallows running with sudo | 13:42 |

| geirha | acresearch: and ls -l /dev/sr0 says the device is owned by the cdrom group, right? and running ''groups'' shows that your user is a member of the cdrom group? | 13:44 |

| geirha | *cdrom group | 13:46 |
| acresearch | geirha: excellent | 13:46 |
| acresearch | geirha: but i keep getting errors, what is the source of there errors? | 13:47 |
| geirha | have you checked that you are a member of the cdrom group yet? | 13:47 |
| === beaver is now known as kev_nse | ||
| acresearch | geirha: i ran this command ls -l /dev/sr0 | 13:47 |
| acresearch | how do i check? | 13:47 |
| geirha | ''groups'' | 13:48 |
| geirha | lists the groups you are a member of | 13:48 |
| acresearch | geirha: acresearch adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 13:48 |
| geirha | ok, so you have write access. Then perhaps the cd/dvd you're trying to write to isn't empty..? | 13:49 |
| acresearch | geirha: so i think yes i am part of the cdrom group from this printout, right? | 13:49 |
| geirha | you are | 13:50 |
| acresearch | geirha: it is a new DVD+R 4.7GB | 13:50 |
| geirha | and your drive supports DVD+R? | 13:51 |
| acresearch | geirha: let me check i have a 2011 mackbook pro | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | hateball, I suspect robozi has an optimus hybrid gpu system, and I'm pretty sure that's the problem | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | acresearch, sudo adduser yourusername cdrom | 13:52 |
| acresearch | geirha: from the apple forums yes my macbook supports DVD+R | 13:52 |
| robozi | Blueskaj, did not work Hhh https://imgur.com/gallery/ILkzK | 13:53 |
| geirha | acresearch: Not sure then. Are you sure there's no chance you coasted that disc by a previous failed attempt? Would have to see the full output to get some clue as to what is wrong. | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, what didn't work? use pastebin for text not imgur | 13:55 |

| ubottu | robozi: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:59 |
| cremansor12 | So, anyone good with understanding the GRUB loader? | 14:00 |
| hateball | robozi, BluesKaj bumblebee is deprecated | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | cremansor12, is ubuntu the only linux OS on your pc ? | 14:01 |
| hateball | robozi: you can do this: sudo apt install nvidia-prime | 14:01 |
| geirha | acresearch: does the dvd+r disk support the 8x speed growisofs is attempting? | 14:01 |
| cremansor12 | Yes, i had Windows 10 installed on it before but attempted to remove it and install Ubuntu | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | hateball, it was resurrected a yr or 2 ago | 14:01 |
| hateball | robozi: then you tell your system to use nvidia in X with: sudo prime-select nvidia | 14:01 |
| hateball | robozi: and then things should "just work" | 14:01 |
| hateball | BluesKaj: oh | 14:01 |

| cremansor12 | this is my detailed post | 14:02 |
| neure | several of my keys are not working :( | 14:02 |
| hateball | BluesKaj, robozi at any rate nvidia-prime should work properly | 14:02 |
| acresearch | geirha: supports 16x speed | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | cremansor12, post urls containing other urls isn't good practice if you need help. just tell us what's happening or not happening | 14:03 |
| cremansor12 | That reddit post contained everything but here we go | 14:03 |
| cremansor12 | Im trying to intall Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and its not working, its failing on the GRUB installer part | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | hateball, yes nvidia-prime should be installed bt default afaik | 14:04 |
| cremansor12 | The Reddit thread contains a screenshot of the error | 14:04 |
| monkwitdafunk | hello, how can i copy a dvd and still maintain its integrity check? | 14:04 |
| cremansor12 | I tried BootRepair but it failed to work for me. The Reddit thread contains the logs of before & after repair | 14:04 |
| cremansor12 | BluesKaj | 14:05 |
| monkwitdafunk | cremansor12: have you tried sanitizing your disk before installing? | 14:05 |
| cremansor12 | i do not think so, I did just format it via the Disks program | 14:05 |
| cremansor12 | but how would i sanitize it? | 14:06 |
| monkwitdafunk | i make it a standard practise to wipe before installing | 14:06 |
| monkwitdafunk | you can use daricks boot and nuke, killdisk or badblocks | 14:06 |
| cremansor12 | is it a command line? | 14:06 |
| monkwitdafunk | i like badblocks, you get it in knoppix | 14:07 |
| cremansor12 | this guide would be good? | 14:07 |
| cremansor12 | http://tech.chandrahasa.com/2013/06/09/ubuntu-check-disk-for-bad-blocks-and-errors/ | 14:07 |
| monkwitdafunk | badblocks is shell scripting. either way, you would use a self contained operating system | 14:07 |
| monkwitdafunk | -w option | 14:08 |
| monkwitdafunk | you just have to figure out the correct syntax | 14:08 |
| robozi | Hatebal | 14:08 |
| robozi | Blueskaj | 14:08 |
| monkwitdafunk | just download dban.org | 14:09 |
| robozi | Did what u said and it disnt work | 14:09 |
| geirha | acresearch: Hm. I don't know then. Sounds like it might be a bug with the driver or growisofs | 14:09 |
| cremansor12 | This is what I get from Disks: https://i.imgur.com/73p8fIp.png | 14:09 |
| cremansor12 | so basically i should type "sudo badblocks -v /dev/sdb1" ? | 14:09 |
| acresearch | geirha: any idea what is wrong? | 14:09 |
| monkwitdafunk | badblocks -w /dev/sdb1 | 14:10 |
| cremansor12 | kk | 14:10 |
| cremansor12 | says now it is checking for bad blocks | 14:11 |
| cremansor12 | guess i have to wait | 14:11 |
| monkwitdafunk | it should work even if you have a RAID card. dban doesnt work with RAID card. killdisk works w/ RAID | 14:11 |

| BluesKaj | robozi, try installing nvidia-prime, it should be installed but it's worth a try | 14:14 |
| monkwitdafunk | im getting ready to install nvidia graphics eh. i have to look through my notes on the runlevel | 14:15 |
| monkwitdafunk | i cut my dsl connection. i just have lte wireless | 14:16 |
| monkwitdafunk | idk how to access my androids memory. i did it before | 14:16 |

| marcisb | How i can uninstall some software from linux like gitlab? | 14:20 |
| c2tarun | marcisb: how did you install it? | 14:21 |
| robozi | Yeah in the bumblebee i corrwcted the command | 14:21 |
| monkwitdafunk | did you install from repository | 14:21 |
| c2tarun | marcisb: BTW, try apt-get remove --purge gitlab | 14:21 |
| robozi | And the install went ok | 14:21 |
| monkwitdafunk | i got a question... if i compile from source, i would still have to uninstall the older version if i want to upgrade to a newer version of the program right? | 14:22 |
| BluesKaj | robozi, ok here's the rest of it, follow these instructions after the bumblebee part, https://askubuntu.com/questions/452556/how-to-set-up-nvidia-optimus-bumblebee-in-14-04 | 14:23 |

| marcisb | How i can list all packages | 14:26 |
| marcisb | ? | 14:27 |
| monkwitdafunk | if you use a desktop enviroment, i would try synaptic. im not sure if thats the best answer | 14:27 |
| monkwitdafunk | command line is king right | 14:28 |
| monkwitdafunk | okay. bye #ubuntu. when im back, i should have read some of the LXC book i got | 14:29 |

| billygoat | when looking at memory usage, why does VIRT differ from RES in zero swap is used? It was my understanding that RES was all memory usage for a process in ram, and VIRT included things like swap. So if I currently have zero swapped used shouldn't the two be the same? | 14:45 |

| rek | hi why in ubuntu 16.04 the network interface name changes if i reboot the system then what i wrote in /etc/network/interfaces is wrong.... or sometimes it happens... i reboot the machine and i can't ping anything in ifconfig i see my interface is up and configure correctly... and for example if i try to edit /etc/network/interfaces and i issue a ntworking restart the old ip stay there and doesn't change.... | 16:55 |
| bunnypuncher | Ubuntu uses NetworkManager you should not edit interfaces directly | 17:11 |
| rek | bunnypuncher interfaces file is god... nm is something else added... also i'm not running gnome | 17:11 |
| rek | nm-applet is not running | 17:12 |
| bunnypuncher | ok just try typing: nmcli g | 17:13 |
| rek | what? | 17:15 |
| bunnypuncher | nmcli is the network manager commandline | 17:16 |
| bunnypuncher | if your not using you won't have the command or won't give info | 17:17 |
| bunnypuncher | I'm not talking about the applet I'm talking about the system service | 17:18 |
| rek | bunnypuncher, i see in my 14.04 returning eth0 not managed and i'm using it... networkfuncionality is disabled ifact i set my ip manually here but there i don't even have gnome and nm-applet running..but it's too late since i cannot access the machine remotely now... | 17:18 |
| bunnypuncher | did you disable the network-manager service ? if so then interfaces might be god like you said | 17:22 |
| rek | i don't think network-manager service is running if you don't use gnome | 17:24 |
| rek | is this right? | 17:24 |
| bunnypuncher | no it is part of systemd | 17:24 |
| bunnypuncher | nothing to do with what ever DM you use in X | 17:24 |
| BluesKaj | nm is default afaik | 17:24 |
| TJ- | bunnypuncher: NM isn't part of systemd, but it is a system service | 17:24 |
| bunnypuncher | right of course managed by systemd | 17:25 |
| TJ- | rek: how does the network interface name change? give us an example? Because in 16.04 I think you've hit the "predictable device naming" change | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | like eth0becoans enpos4 or some such | 17:27 |
| rek | what do you mean by predictable device naming? ... for example enps0 to enps1 then i edit it again to have network connection then i reboot and it was again enps0 for example | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | enps0 is the new eth0 | 17:27 |
| TJ- | rek: That's P.D.N. - it describes where the interface is in the hardware | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | rek,^ | 17:28 |
| TJ- | rek: so if it's changing from enpXsY to enpXsY that suggests the a multi-interface device, or a virtual machine. Is this in a virtual machine or on bare hardware? | 17:29 |
| TJ- | oops, enpXsY to enpYsZ :) | 17:29 |
| rek | in another installation i had 2 nic...and switching on again the server i saw my network interface was up and configured but i wasn't able to ping... i moved the cat5 cable plugging it into the other nic and i got the connection...then i experienced a powerloss i had nomore time so i let the server reboot...and it was up and everything but i'm pretty sure it happened the same damn thing... | 17:30 |
| rek | bare hardware TJ- | 17:30 |
| bunnypuncher | the proper way to change this is nmcli just read the man page if you don't believe me | 17:31 |
| rek | sorry P.D.N. ? let me look it up... | 17:31 |
| TJ- | rek: OK, so in the normal course of events, when a PCI network adapter is found it will be named enpX (where X is the PCI bus ID), and each port on the device will be numbered starting s0, s1, s2, etc, so you end up with an interface named enpXs0, enpXs1 etc. | 17:32 |
| rek | i only had 1 interface... in the server i have 2-3 interfaces | 17:34 |
| TJ- | rek: if different interfaces are getting the same s0 on different boots then something in the kernel driver is mis-reporting the hardware location of the port. The P.D.N. (Predictable Device Naming) is generated from that info sent from the kernel to udev. | 17:34 |
| TJ- | rek: this won't help solve the apparent issue but it's the doc on naming: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 17:35 |
| === jstein_ is now known as jstein | ||
| TJ- | rek: the summary is, this is designed to *prevent* names changing across reboots, so something weird is going on if you've a system having this happen | 17:36 |
| rek | very interesting...also i may use nmcli as bunnypuncher told me... to not let nm control my interface | 17:37 |
| TJ- | rek: by default NM will NOT manage an interface it finds in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:37 |
| Zythyr | Question about encryption. I want to have a personal home websever. My conern is situation where the servere/HDD gets stolen by a theif. I can resolve this by using Encrypted Home in Ubuntu. But the issue is that if I remote reboot PC the I would have to physically login to server or else the websever or other compontents won't start. Is there an alternate approach to having encrytion without | 17:38 |
| Zythyr | having to physcially login to allow the websever to start? | 17:38 |
| rek | ah as i was expecting...so something strange is going on | 17:38 |
| TJ- | rek: it depends on /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf having a "[ifupdown]" section with "managed=false" | 17:38 |
| rek | what if that is present on the config? | 17:39 |
| TJ- | Zythyr: use Full Disk Encryption instead, to encrypt a block device (which could be a file mounted using loopdev), then it only needs to be fed the passphrase at start-up which can be done using an ssh script or similar | 17:40 |
| TJ- | rek: if that is present NM will NOT manage interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:41 |
| rek | good to know it thanks they much... and you confirm even if i'm not launching gnome... networkmanager is alive... | 17:42 |
| rek | i know if you don't use nm-applet it's like you're not managing your interfaces...for example in fluxbox like me | 17:43 |
| TJ- | rek: it is a system service. nm-applet/nmcli/nmtui are just user clients that connect to the NM service control socket | 17:43 |
| rek | something strenage is happening yes... but it's not the first time... and not the first installation... | 17:43 |
| TJ- | rek: the installation of nm-applet has no bearing on NM service itself | 17:43 |
| rek | running nm-applet you can manage your interfaces... | 17:44 |
| bunnypuncher | TJ- are you sure NM doesn't manage interface if the are just in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 17:45 |
| TJ- | rek: yes, but you can also do that without a GUI using nmtui or nmcli | 17:45 |
| TJ- | bunnypuncher: Yes, when "managed=false" | 17:46 |
| rek | TJ-, do you know any service a default 16.04 lts installation is running in order to ...wait.. i can't even my remote server probably it doesn't even have an ip....i must go there... | 17:46 |
| Zythyr | TJ- Thanks, let me read up on full disk encryption | 17:46 |
| bunnypuncher | ah ok I knew there was a required setting | 17:46 |
| TJ- | See "man NetworkManager.conf" and the "ifupdown" section | 17:47 |
| TJ- | Zythyr: you'd use cryptsetup to create a LUKS-based dm-crypt block device | 17:47 |
| bunnypuncher | nmcli isn't too bad once you know about it | 17:48 |
| Zythyr | ok i'll look into that also. sorry i just need to read move to understand eveyrthing | 17:48 |
| TJ- | Zythyr: just realise that although it's called "Full Disk" it really should be correctly named "Block Device" encryption, since the entire physical 'disk' does not need to be encrypted | 17:49 |
| rek | so sad | 17:50 |
| Zythyr | okay | 17:51 |
| TJ- | rek: so what is the situation now? You're remote from the server and you have lost connectivity? | 17:51 |
| rek | yes i'l go there next week... i was trying to do something on the local network but....i don't see my ip i set on interfaces..... on the local network | 17:53 |

| Thedarkb | I do. | 18:50 |
| jer | Thedarkb, seriously, being smart about how much contiguous time you spend in front of a keyboard/mouse/trackpad is important | 18:50 |

| robozi | I just want to solve my problem. No matter how it will be | 20:39 |
| alkisg | If it's rolling, wouldn't apt-get dist-upgrade do that? | 20:39 |
| ioria | alkisg, no rolling hwe on trusty (without the coma) | 20:40 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: ioria: check/verify that we have operational head room to install additional kernels - ' df -h ' . ( one thing at a time, here ) | 20:40 |
| alkisg | Haha, what I said then :D | 20:40 |
| ioria | lol | 20:40 |
| robozi | termbin.com/5fru | 20:41 |
| alkisg | We have an ancient greek saying about this, it would translate to something like "you'll go to war and return not die there", and they'd put the comma either before or after the "not" :D | 20:41 |
| ioria | robozi, may i ask you why trusty + utopic ? the last kernel for that is .77 | 20:42 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: We have the overhead to continue :) | 20:42 |
| robozi | As i said. I have tried some tutorials and that is why i have that | 20:43 |
| robozi | Ok. Lets do it | 20:43 |
| ioria | alkisg, Ήξεις αφήξεις ουκ εν τω πολέμω | 20:43 |
| alkisg | θνήξεις, exactly :D | 20:43 |
| ioria | alkisg, classic school :þ | 20:44 |
| ioria | robozi, in few words: you need to upgrade your distro | 20:45 |
| alkisg | It's what the oracle was telling the warriors. Nah, I mostly avoided those classes as much as I could :D | 20:45 |
| robozi | Ok. Lets do it | 20:45 |
| robozi | But how? | 20:45 |
| ioria | robozi, did you read what i posted you ? | 20:45 |
| ioria | robozi, 1) install xenial hwe 2) why trusty in 2017 (almost 2018) ? | 20:46 |
| robozi | Ok. But hace my ssd suficient space for a new kernel? | 20:46 |
| robozi | Have* | 20:47 |
| ioria | robozi, i guess so, but it's not the most relevant question | 20:47 |
| robozi | ioria, termbin.xom/ckln | 20:54 |
| robozi | Sorry for the typo. Writing from the phone | 20:55 |
| ioria | got nothing | 20:55 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: ^^ give us the full URL - please . | 20:56 |
| robozi | Http://termbin.com/ckln | 20:57 |
| ppf | so, it looks like there is nothing specific happening when i attach the laptop into the docking station | 20:59 |
| ppf | except a new usb connection popping up | 20:59 |
| ppf | so it seems they implemented the docking via USB | 21:00 |
| ppf | so i can detect that through udev, but what then? the information kinda needs to go into my user's environment. can i send a dbus message from udev? | 21:01 |
| robozi | Bashing-om | 21:03 |
| robozi | ioria | 21:03 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: I see. awaiting ioria's conclusion of his thoughts . | 21:04 |
| ioria | robozi, i don't know what you did before, the xenial hwe stack upgrade precess works... so i'd start purge nvidia* and bumblebee* | 21:05 |
| robozi | Ok. Give me the commands to purge them | 21:05 |
| ioria | robozi, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee+ | 21:06 |
| ioria | bumblebee* | 21:06 |
| ioria | robozi, and sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:07 |
| ioria | maybe multiarch | 21:08 |
| ioria | robozi, try this : sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial | 21:08 |
| ioria | xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial | 21:08 |
| ioria | xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial | 21:08 |
| ioria | libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial | 21:08 |
| ioria | libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial:i386 | 21:08 |
| ioria | robozi, Multiarch Desktop has a different command | 21:09 |
| robozi | Cannot remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf. it says no such file or directory | 21:10 |
| ioria | ok | 21:10 |

| === mDfRg is now known as mindefrag | ||
| Daekdroom | Hello, I'm installing an additional SSD for my Ubuntu PC. Which partition table type should I use? | 21:14 |
| === mindefrag is now known as mindefragmentati | ||
| HcsOmot | hi. i was having some trouble with soundcard a while back, so before resorting to completly reinstalling both oses (dualboot win10&mint18.1) i've decided to try fixing it by installing a newer version of kernel. this actually fixed my sound issues (no sound in both linux and windows, no sound cards detected in either os). | 21:16 |
| mindefragmentati | test msg to check if I have changed nick, pay no attention | 21:17 |
| HcsOmot | now i've got two new problems: after doing dist-upgrade, i got the following warnings: | 21:17 |
| HcsOmot | W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin for module i915 | 21:17 |
| HcsOmot | W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for module i915 | 21:17 |
| === mindefragmentati is now known as mDfRg | ||
| HcsOmot | I searched around online for what it means, from what i've gathered, it has something to do with graphics card firmware. could someone explain a bit what should I do about it, and what it really means? | 21:18 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: From update-initramfs -u ...? | 21:19 |
| lordcirth_work | HcsOmot, i915 is Intel integrated graphics. Are you using that? | 21:19 |
| HcsOmot | yes, i've got an asus laptop, with integrated intel graphics | 21:20 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: often it's not a problem; it happens when the kernel modules declare all the firmware file versions they support, and some of those aren't supplied in the current "linux-firmware" package. USually it isn't a problem unless its about very recent hardware | 21:20 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: lordcirth_work: well, the laptop is asus ux410uak, i believe it's a 2017model, if that's important at all? | 21:21 |
| HcsOmot | so, the other problem i'm having is when i tried installing virtualbox, i got the following: Building only for 4.14.0-041400-lowlatency | 21:22 |
| HcsOmot | Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the | 21:22 |
| HcsOmot | kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. | 21:22 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: is the "linux-firmware" package up to date? I'd assume so. As long as the i915 driver is working it's fine. | 21:22 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: that is caused by the linux-headers-<Version> package not being installed | 21:23 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: when i was installing the new kernel (it was actually my first time doing that), i ran sudo dpkg-i in a directory where i had these: linux-headers-4.14.0-041400_4.14.0-041400.201711122031_all.deb linux-image-4.14.0-041400-lowlatency_4.14.0-041400.201711122031_amd64.deb | 21:25 |
| HcsOmot | linux-headers-4.14.0-041400-generic_4.14.0-041400.201711122031_amd64.deb | 21:25 |
| HcsOmot | after which i've updaged grub | 21:26 |
| === mDfRg is now known as dnull_ | ||
| === dnull_ is now known as mDfRg | ||
| HcsOmot | also, i just did sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.14.0-041400 and -generic, apt says they're both the latest version | 21:29 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: if you "cd /directory/with/deb/packages/in/" then to install *ALL* the .debs at once do "sudo dpkg -Ri ." | 21:29 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: sounds like you've already covered it with 'apt-get' by now though | 21:30 |
| robozi | ioria | 21:30 |
| robozi | Bashing-om | 21:30 |
| HcsOmot | ok, so how do i fix the missing kernel sources issue while trying to install virtualbox | 21:30 |
| robozi | http://termbin.com/0mlu | 21:31 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: look'n . | 21:31 |
| robozi | This is from (ioria) robozi, copy and paste from here Multiarch Desktop section : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 21:31 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: that's the linux-headers packages... contains the source header-files (*.h) required to build out-of-tree kernel modules from source | 21:31 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: if however, the currently running kernel is a different version, then you'll need to specify the kernel version to build against. Are you using "dkms" to build the module? | 21:32 |
| ppf | so ... sending from udev to dbus, any suggestion how to do this? | 21:32 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: i appreciate the effort, but i really don't know what most of that means... :( how do I find out if i'm using dkms? while trying to install virtualbox, this is part of the output: Loading new virtualbox-5.0.40 DKMS files... | 21:34 |
| ylwghst | VirtualBox doesn't work with 4.14 yet | 21:34 |
| TJ- | VirtualBox 5.2.2 does | 21:35 |
| ylwghst | HcsOmot: then you should install 5.2.2 | 21:37 |
| HcsOmot | ok, i'll give it a try | 21:37 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: OK, Dynamic Kernel Module Support, a way for an out-of-tree module to be built and installed/removed into a system. | 21:38 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: any good noob friendly resources that try to explain what that means? sorry - i really do appreciate the effort, and believe me - i do want to learn these things. | 21:40 |
| EldritchGuard | I need help I have no sound coming from my computer | 21:41 |
| EldritchGuard | it says no device (this is a laptop) | 21:42 |
| EldritchGuard | I updated it recently (ubuntu 16.04 lts) | 21:42 |
| EldritchGuard | and it stopped working | 21:42 |
| Shibe | guys do the libsdl2 that are in the ubuntu repository support wayland? | 21:42 |
| EldritchGuard | I tried purging Pulseaudio and alsa to no avail I need help | 21:42 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: almost all kernel 'drivers' (modules) are part of the mainline Linux kernel. A few are not, and are called "out-of-(source)-tree", and have to be built from source-code against the kernel's include headers (those *.h files). The DKMS was developed to provide a single service for automating the build/install process of those modules. | 21:42 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: Has the system returned to a prompt yet ? | 21:44 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: that's actually clear to me now. also - if i'm downloading virtualbox deb package from web, which one am i supposed to use, since i'm using a kernel that's newer than what my distro originally shipped with? | 21:45 |
| robozi | Bashing-om, well i am not able to run that command | 21:45 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: the VB 5.2.2 contains the fixed kernel module that works with kernel 4.14 | 21:45 |
| HcsOmot | EldritchGuard: i had exact same problem about a month ago. trying to deal with the aftermath of fixing it right now. | 21:46 |
| ylwghst | http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.2/virtualbox-5.2_5.2.2-119230~Ubuntu~zesty_amd64.deb | 21:46 |
| robozi | Prompt means the terminal not doing anything? | 21:46 |
| EldritchGuard | why what happened HcsOmot ? | 21:46 |
| HcsOmot | TJ- ylwghst ok, so i should be ok going with 17.04? | 21:46 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: Yes | 21:47 |
| ylwghst | I haven't tried 5.2.2 yet but 5.0.4 is not updated for 4.14 kernel yet, if 5.2.2 is updated then just sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.2_5.2.2-119230~Ubuntu~zesty_amd64.deb | 21:48 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: MY prompt " sysop@x1604:~$ " awaiting the next command . What was the last command that you ran ? | 21:48 |
| TJ- | ylwghst: it was release 4 days ago | 21:49 |
| HcsOmot | EldritchGuard: don't know, sound stopped working after update. couldn't fix it. tried purging pulseaudio and alsa, didn't work. even stoped working in windows10(dual boot machine). | 21:49 |
| HcsOmot | EldritchGuard: i installed a new kernel, setup grub, rebooted, everything worked like a charm. even fixed some powermanager issues i was having. | 21:49 |
| ylwghst | TJ-: i see | 21:50 |
| HcsOmot | EldritchGuard: but i ran into some other issues with graphics and virtualbox, so i'm trying to sort these out now | 21:50 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: that sounds like an ACPI issue, can happen especially with battery powered devices that are never really powered off (often the 5V standby is maintained) | 21:51 |
| HcsOmot | could be. i can't take out the battery from my laptop, and was putting it into sleep for a while, without fully shutting down | 21:53 |
| HcsOmot | ok, so dpkg complains about unmet dependencies. is there a way to download them automatically while trying to install, or do I have to do it manually (running apt-get install <everything dpkg said was missing) | 21:58 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: try "sudo apt-get -f install" | 21:59 |
| robozi | Bashing-om https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqpWcyP6BllXiLF83R1Lcp_MLtRsCg | 22:00 |
| robozi | Imgur is not working | 22:00 |
| robozi | :( | 22:00 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: The following packages will be REMOVED: | 22:01 |
| HcsOmot | virtualbox-5.2 | 22:01 |
| HcsOmot | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 22:01 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: Hmmm! | 22:02 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: which dependencies does dpkg complain about? including versions | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: output of dpkg -i for virtualbox dpkg: error processing package virtualbox-5.2 (--install): | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: quite a few, actually | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-5.2: | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | virtualbox-5.2 depends on libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1); however: | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | Package libpng16-16 is not installed. | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | virtualbox-5.2 depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0); however: | 22:03 |
| HcsOmot | Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5. | 22:03 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: try as ' sudo apt-get install --install-recommends <package> ' . | 22:04 |
| TJ- | !paste | HcsOmot | 22:05 |

| HcsOmot | yeah, sorry :/ | 22:05 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: OK, didn't you say this is Ubuntu 17.10? and you downloaded virtualbox-5.2_5.2.2-119230~Ubuntu~zesty_amd64.deb | 22:06 |
| HcsOmot | no, it's 16.04 and I installed kernel 4.14 because I was having trouble with soundcard. after new kernel everything got fixed. except things that broke :/ | 22:07 |
| TJ- | in which case the package ylwghst pointed you to was for the wrong release; you need this one: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.2/virtualbox-5.2_5.2.2-119230~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb for Xenial/16.04 | 22:08 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: so remove the package you just installed with "sudo apt-get -f install" then you can install the correct package | 22:08 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: apt-get -f install didn't install anything, just tried to remove the unconfigured virtualbox i tried installing with dpkg -i. i aborted the apt-get -f | 22:09 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: couldn't i just install manually whatever is missing? | 22:10 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: I'm not impressed by Oracle's download service. Not over HTTPS and they haven't GPG signed the file hashes so they could be tampered with. | 22:10 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: nothing is missing - you've installed a package for 17.10, rather than for 16.04 | 22:10 |
| robozi | Bashing-om, https://1drv.ms/i/s!AqpWcyP6BllXiLICtpac7vZPAYmpfg | 22:12 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: yeah, but we were talking about virtualbox 5.2.2 support for 4.14 kernel. and i'm running mint18.1 which is like ubuntu 16.04, only not with standard kernel, but rather with 4.14. not sure if you see my confusion here? | 22:15 |
| Bashing-om | !info libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial trusty | 22:15 |
| ubottu | libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial (source: mesa-lts-xenial): free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 11.2.0-1ubuntu2~trusty2 (trusty), package size 119 kB, installed size 532 kB | 22:15 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: no confusion on versions, but we don't support Mint here | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: typo ... see the above for the name as " libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial " . | 22:16 |
| HcsOmot | TJ-: ok, i now this is ubuntu channel, but the reason for *my* confusion is the following: if i'm using kernel 4.14, and ubuntu 16.04 by default uses 4.4, am I supposed to install virtualbox for 17.04/10 or 16.04? | 22:19 |
| TJ- | HcsOmot: for 16.04. That defines all the library versions supported. The kernel interface remains backward compatible in newer releases, unlike in many libraries | 22:20 |

| robozi | That is what i get instead of the unity login screen | 22:45 |
| TJ- | bunnypuncher: that's quite old :) | 22:46 |
| bunnypuncher | yes but people are posting using kernel 3.x | 22:46 |
| bunnypuncher | maybe word hasn't reached everyone | 22:47 |
| TJ- | Sounds like the least of the problems there, at the moment :) | 22:48 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: Well, still with no graphic's driver ? what results activating the terminal ( crl+alt+F1 _ . and also the results of my last request ? | 22:49 |
| robozi | Ctrl+alt+f1 gvea me in the virtual terminal | 22:50 |

| robozi | Bashing-om, ur last command went very well | 23:24 |
| robozi | I have run it 2 times | 23:24 |
| robozi | Everything seems to be ok | 23:24 |
| robozi | But no unity gui yet :( | 23:25 |
| Zabot_ | I've got a dual monitor setup on 16.04 and the second monitor works fine, but after login it goes black and only shows a cursor. Anyone have any troubleshooting ideas? | 23:27 |
| neogeo_fsmtw | Zabot_: rusty abt multi-head x.org config but would start there | 23:27 |
| neogeo_fsmtw | xinerama iirc | 23:27 |
| TJ- | Zabot_: can you move widows onto it? | 23:28 |
| TJ- | s/widows/windows/ | 23:28 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: Making good progress then . OK . ' dpkg -l | grep nvidia* | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . | 23:28 |
| Zabot_ | I can drag windows over to the other screen, and they behave like there is a second window, but all that displays is the mouse cursor | 23:29 |
| TJ- | Zabot_: that is rather weird - which desktop environment is it, Unity? | 23:29 |
| Zabot_ | yeah, unity. Everything is stock out of the box LTS desktop install | 23:30 |
| neogeo_fsmtw | Zabot_: not sure which window manager is in use, maybe another wm would handle the configuration more smoothly? | 23:30 |
| TJ- | Zabot_: what is the GPU? "lspci -nn" will help identify it | 23:30 |
| neogeo_fsmtw | #xfce | 23:30 |
| robozi | Bashing-om, ur command gives no output | 23:32 |
| Zabot_ | One of them is plugged into internal intel graphics, the other is plugged into a discreet 1060 | 23:33 |
| Bashing-om | robozi: No output at all is not expected . nothing back in terminal with ' dpkg -l | grep nvidia* ' ? | 23:35 |

| Bashing-om | robozi: k, let's install a driver, what is the card we are working with . show ' lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga ' ? | 23:37 |
| TJ- | Zabot_: that would cause issues | 23:38 |
| genii | neogeo_fsmtw: I'm pretty sure all you need to do is just make sure the ufs kernel module is loaded | 23:41 |
| genii | neogeo_fsmtw: You can do it manually with sudo modprobe ufs for a one-shot, or put it in /etc/modules for always | 23:41 |
| neogeo_fsmtw | genii: ty; checked manual page, using ufs fstype, ufs2 ufstype. seems I can't mount it rw tho | 23:42 |
