=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:26] Is it likely that a dosbox game running very sluggishly in installed Kubuntu 16.04.3 but fine in Live Kubuntu 16.04.3 would be caused by a bad SATA controller? [00:27] I.e. no other differences can be observed other than that the installed system runs off nVidia software raid. [00:29] Hello guys! [00:29] I wanted to ask, is it safe to install ubuntu 18 alpha directly as dual boot with windows ? [00:30] if you have to worry whether it's safe, you probably shouldn't be using development versions [00:30] also, #ubuntu+1 for bionic discussion [00:33] So in the Live session I also have the RAID automatically activated; however causes no problems. [00:33] whoops, thanks though :) [00:33] It seems impossible that my, for the rest of it, default KDE environment would cause issues; also no difference between nVidia and Nouveau. [00:34] zomaar: well, just because it's active doesn't mean you're using it [00:34] zomaar: also fakeraid ... is not great [00:35] zomaar: have you check to see of other "end users" of the "dosbox" game share similar symptom(s)????? [00:35] statistically that's where a person would launch an investigation [00:36] an investigating person.. [00:36] or a curious person i guess also [00:39] nacc: Of course, the difference would be that in one case my root filesystem is on it, and in the other, nothing important. [00:39] zomaar: well, nothing at all, unless you are mounting your disks in your live session [00:40] zomaar: it is probably not mounted at all, in the live case [00:41] tatertots: No if the game runs fine in Live session, and the amount of Ubuntu 16.04 users of a dosbox game from 1996 running into the same problems when my controller appears to be faulty (in Linux) to begin with, then I don't think that's a statistical good place to start tbh. [00:41] nacc: Yes I mounted it to copy the game into tmpfs. [00:42] zomaar: right, but then you aren't actively using the RAID anymore [00:42] nacc: correct. [00:42] zomaar: did you try running the game from the RAID controller in your live session? [00:42] nacc: That's the point, I will have to copy the system to another harddisk and run it from there to see what happens. [00:42] nacc: No I forgot, but I copied it into tmpfs on the installed system as well. [00:44] But even in the live session probably the entire game would be cached into memory anyway. [00:45] This controller, at least with the raid, caused severe kernel hangs.....or stalls.... causing the clock to run behind constantly [00:46] I fixed that by disabling native command queueing for those harddisks. [00:46] But I think it might still be the problem here :p. [00:47] So I think the entire system just periodically hangs and I first notice it with this game :p. [00:47] Although music plays fine. [00:47] The midi in the game also suffers from slowdowns/speedups. [00:48] So yeah I was happy with the raid because it was natively supported (by Grub also) [00:48] and that's a unicum I think :p. [00:49] But in the end it doesn't work so well because the sata drivers are probably bad. [00:50] Then again that might happen in non-raid as well but I will have to check [00:51] Some sata controllers are just badly supported, also Maxwell controllers for instance. [00:54] But you know firmware raid basically just uses dmraid mapper which is generic, together with format on disk which is vendor-specific [00:56] So there isn't really any "nvidia_raid" module. [00:57] So there is just dmraid modules together with nv_sata module. [01:23] Actually raid0 doesn't even use the dm-raid module, it uses directly a stripe target that is just builtin. === daniel is now known as Guest94628 [01:46] can anyone help me with sound problems? [01:47] Anyone else getting errors trying to install libssl and openssl? [01:47] yes [01:48] I imagine build infrastructure depending on docker containers will be down everywhere [01:48] a result of the emergency patches for the intel spectre / meltdown situation? [01:49] Maybe. Don't know why they would pull the package, though, everyone already has the affected version if that is in fact the problem. [01:50] why does my sound work when i install but the card doesnt get detected when i reboot, i've tried sudo alsa force-reload and restart which worked once and not again [01:51] is there a generic driver i can get to load each time? my card is intel series 6 c200 and i can only find windows drivers [01:52] msg me if anyone knows please dont want to have to switch back to windows! [01:53] daniel_: sound uses pulse on top of also, maybe try to reload that [01:53] no idea though [01:53] pavucontrol has a sound card selector [01:53] cool thankyou will have a look [01:54] skwingar: it seems the libssl packages are only down for ubuntu4.9: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/ [01:54] 4.10s are still there [01:55] ahh, I see. Thanks for heads up [01:56] I've no idea, myself, in regard to your sound issue. Hopefully someone else comes around with an answer for you though. Good luck!

[02:09] it shows up in lsusb [02:10] but doesn't with lsblk [02:10] what I mean by that, is does something like "sdx" show up but not "sdx1" [02:11] find a drive in there you don't recognize [02:11] check the size === tux is now known as Guest77120 [02:22] <__0xbadc0de__> Hello [02:22] <__0xbadc0de__> what is the risk of trying a dual boot in my machine?

[03:35] howdy all. Anyone free to help me work out why i'm having dns issues on 17.10? doesnt seem to matter if i use google dns or my isp's via the gateway. Seems worse in chrome. Just get an error when loading pages occasionally, sometimes even while im on that page, and eventually chrome seems to try again and be able to get the page open. [03:36] I've seen similar behavior Snowie [03:36] This is what i get https://paste.ubuntu.com/26329805/ [03:36] then it will just refresh itself after a few seconds and work [03:37] kkremitzki: ok, so not just me. [03:37] kkremitzki: i was a bit wary about coming here as i cant be sure it's a ubuntu issue and not chrome [03:37] I see it in Firefox Nightly [03:37] i "think" i have had the same issue in firefox [03:37] ok, so then we are likely looking at 17.10 then [03:38] It seems plausible, that's what I'm on currently [03:45] hello [03:45] kkremitzki: was your's a roll up from a previous version or fresh install of 17.10. mines fresh, just comparing notes [03:45] It was a fresh install [04:00] so i tried to run this fix [04:00] https://osdocs.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/ubuntu-17-04-and-yet-another-round-of-i-fucked-up-your-resolv-conf-for-you-while-you-were-expecting-an-improved-distro/ [04:00] sorry about the tone on that one team [04:00] and i can't link to a file I just removed right?

[04:26] also the ubuntu drive is encrypted, so I'll need to put in that passphrase remotely as well :') [04:28] anyone have ideas or know of a place to ask? [04:30] dagreenmamba: you'd need a full network stack in the bootloader... [04:30] ooh, I know [04:30] thanks. xfce mint updates stuff so slowly [04:30] with uefi at least you can choose next bootable os [04:30] its still in 17.04. but same time 17.10 ubuntu killed bunch of bios [04:30] so boot into linux, use efibootmgr to do that, then reboot [04:31] crypto pass though :p [04:31] any sort of SOL would probably do it but.. [04:32] I'm still happy using MBR scheme partitioning and AMIBIOS [04:32] I heard about the Insyde/Lenovo "incident" [04:33] no uefi no party.. basically impossible to buy a motherboard without these days, if not totally [04:33] I know [04:33] really easy to dump keys though so.. [04:34] ah but more and more quite powerful single board computers [04:34] orangepi is one of more powerful ones. though dunno ifg it has uefi [04:35] it's inevitable even to the extent it isn't today, plus lets not kid ourselves about powerful, decent as they are [04:36] 4.4.110 and microcode 20171215 if you run intel is there [04:37] still waiting for some gcc patches [04:38] firefox with retpoline and stuff [04:38] Provided one know what are doing, I've heard Flash EEPROM programmers could fix tainted chips === Benzene is now known as fudanshi [05:39] yo niggas [05:39] i just got ubuntu lmao [05:39] how u fams doin [05:40] y'all niggas not one for talking eh === illuminated_ is now known as illuminated [06:16] .org === stanley is now known as Guest11298 [06:30] Splitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/httpredir.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_InRelease into data and signature failed [06:31] E: The repository 'http://httpredir.debian.org/debian sid InRelease' is not signed.

[07:27] but when I watch any videos on chrome/firefox (like hulu or youtube) [07:27] it slows my laptop WAY down [07:27] lotuspsychje: what do you mean? [07:27] ergodicwalk: 16.04.3? [07:28] ergodicwalk: you can check with lsb_release -a [07:28] ergodicwalk: installed the restricted-extras and video driver installed correctly? [07:28] yes. (also another data point: chrome is 96% CPU) [07:29] I'm linking a C program to two libraries part of a package distributed by Canonical for Ubuntu 17.10 . [07:29] No LSB modules are available. [07:29] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [07:29] Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS [07:29] Release: 16.04 [07:29] Codename: xenial [07:29] ergodicwalk: sudo lshw -C video to check driver= [07:29] At the end of the link phase, I get an error from ld(1) saying that there are bunch of undefined symbols. [07:29] ergodicwalk: try avoid paste in here mate [07:29] lotuspsychje: it says "No LSB modules are available" [07:30] ergodicwalk: its cool, .3 release [07:30] ergodicwalk: vlc or smplayer playing fine? [07:30] I use nm(1) to inspect the library supposedly holding that symbol and, yes, there it is. [07:31] MarkB2: try to ask your question all in one line plz, with all details,ubuntu version [07:31] lotuspsychje: what details do you want from sudo lshw -C video [07:31] ergodicwalk: driver= at bottom [07:31] lotuspsychje: Alright... but if I retype the entire problem am I going to get booted for being ..verbose? [07:32] lotuspsychje: it says configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 [07:33] Anyway... I can't figure out why it isn't scanning the library even though I've got -Lpath_to_library and -llibrary_name on the command line. [07:33] this is repeatable in firefox or chrome. it just kills my laptop if i'm streaming any video. [07:33] mailspring is okay to install, right guys? [07:35] Hi I got information about USN-3516-1 just now and followed the instructions. So does this only fix Firefox, and the rest of the os is still unsafe from the technique? Anyways, at least one of the bigger causes was fixed quickly [07:35] lotuspsychje: any ideas? === daniel is now known as Guest19298 [07:36] Yesterday I asked about a system performing extremely slow with Theme Hospital; the installed system [07:36] like the video is also super laggy to. It is clearly streaming quickly (i.e., its not just sitting an waiting for packets to arrive/network issues) [07:36] but the video is reallllly laggy. the hardware i'm using isn't that old. [07:36] the Live system did not have any troubles, and I thought the problem was my firmware raid [07:38] However copying my system to a different harddisk, and then disabling/unloading the firmware raid, I still have the same issue, while a fresh install on that same (new) harddisk does not have the problem [07:38] pikapika, https://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/01/04/ubuntu-updates-for-the-meltdown-spectre-vulnerabilities/ [07:39] How on earth can a reasonably new system installation produce such lag? [07:39] Thank you kostkon [07:39] pikapika, np [07:40] lotuspsychje: any ideas? [07:40] ergodicwalk: what is your specific cpu model? grep model /proc/cpuinfo [07:40] ergodicwalk: what was the topic? [07:41] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU [07:41] oops. alkisg: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU [07:43] ergodicwalk: that's a fast cpu, it should be able to play 4-5 SD youtube videos without lags. What's the `load average` on `top` while playing a video? [07:44] zomaar: theme hospital? how are you playing this on linux, via dosbox? [07:44] alkisg what do you mean by load average [07:44] yes [07:44] I mean, alkisg: yes. [07:44] alkisg: It runs fine in live session and fresh install but not in my slightly older install [07:45] alkisg: like there's a single PID with > 100% CPU utilization [07:45] ergodicwalk: run `top`, see first line there [07:45] chrome [07:45] alkisg: right now says 8.74 [07:45] alkisg: with the only big difference I guess that I have tried installing and uninstalled nvidia driver [07:46] zomaar: maybe you have dosbox misconfigured in your installation. Try either moving .dosbox elsewhere, or better yet, in the guest session, so that we see if it's a user settings issue, or a system settings issue [07:46] ergodicwalk: chrome isn't an ubuntu program, it's not supported here. Try with firefox instead [07:47] alkisg. I will try with firefox and re-report the numbers. [07:47] alkisg: No I copy the entire game including dosbox settings [07:47] alkisg: So the settings are always the same [07:48] zomaar: you copy ~/.dosbox? Or just the game folder? [07:48] alkisg: No the game comes with its own dosbox config files that completely overrides the user installed settings. [07:49] zomaar: and otherwise your system performs fast, e.g. you can watch youtube videos fullscreen without lags etc? [07:49] alkisg: Yes no issues. [07:50] zomaar: ok, can you try with the guest account anyway, just to make sure it's not related to user settings? [07:50] alkisg: Sure [07:50] It's a big separation there, searching user vs system settings, it's a basic thing to check out first [07:50] alkisg: Brb. [07:50] ok [07:53] alkisg: same issue. can already see the laggy behavior. Web Content is now 182% util, and firefox 90.1 (top two PID in top). Also the load average numbers are: 6.68, 6.34, 6.53 [07:54] ergodicwalk: and that's just by watching a youtube video, nothing else straining the cpu? which video is that, so that we test locally? [07:54] ergodicwalk: did you check if ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [07:54] ergodicwalk: like alkisg says with such specs, YT should play flawless..even on intel graphics [07:56] ergodicwalk: smplayer smooth or laggy? [07:56] lotuspsychje: it was not installed actually. do I need to restart to see an effect? [07:56] ergodicwalk: no, just browser [07:57] ok. installing and then I will restart browser. [07:57] Back [07:57] also alkisg: no I have a few other applications (like atom and dolphin) open. I can close them. The video happens to be on hulu. I can switch to something on YT so its easy to test [07:57] alkisg: 100% the same. [07:58] ergodicwalk: anything shareable here would be fine [07:58] ergodicwalk: just curious, your ubuntu was a clean install or upgrade from? [07:58] ergodicwalk: for example, it may be a problem with kde, so if we don't have any isue here, you may narrow it down [07:59] lotuspsychje: clean install. wiped windows even [07:59] well kde is bit heavy [07:59] zomaar: and are you using the same ubuntu version on both live and installed? or if not, which ones? [07:59] lotuspsychje: and alkisg: yeah it is possible. A while back I was just using unity and I had super smooth performance [07:59] i think with unity and gnome, kde is the most eyecandy:heavyness [08:00] anyone w/ practical advice on installing latex packages for use w/ texworks? [08:00] ergodicwalk: you could test with some live cd too, and report if it's specific to a certain desktop environment like kde [08:00] zomaar: Yes, 16.04.3 [08:00] ergodicwalk: perhaps talk to the #kubuntu guys what can be done to tweak lightweight? [08:00] !latex | Disaster_Area can this help? [08:00] Disaster_Area can this help?: tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [08:01] zomaar: ok, what's the output of this? sudo lshw | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:02] Erm, wasn't that supposed to give a link back? [08:03] It should, yes [08:04] ergodicwalk: interesting: https://www.hecticgeek.com/2016/05/ubuntu-16-04-flavors-comparison/ [08:05] alkisg: I put it here http://paste.debian.net/1003713/ [08:06] alkisg: Also I must say this system has had strange keyboard lag for a while which is probably related [08:06] I just cannot comprehend what could be wrong [08:06] zomaar: you have nouveau, which isn't optimal for games, although the live cd would have that too. How do you see that keyboard lag? [08:07] alkisg: No I just uninstalled nVidia to test [08:07] alkisg: The input (when repetitive) will stall for a slight moment before continuing. [08:08] alkisg: e.g. when holding enter in a terminal, you will see it not have the same speed but lag now and then [08:09] zomaar: wich ubuntu version was this? [08:10] alkisg: and lotuspsychje: still laggy with literally one video only playing on firefox, konversation (for irc chat) and that's it. [08:10] zomaar: can you also upload the output of dmesg? [08:10] the video is MKBHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js3WIRF595U [08:10] ergodicwalk: is that fullscreen or windowed [08:10] ? [08:10] It's 16.04.3 [08:10] kk [08:10] alkisg: windowed! [08:10] zomaar: on unity right? [08:11] ergodicwalk: my load average is less than 1 while watching this [08:11] zomaar: you recall wich nvidia- driver version you tested on? [08:11] zomaar: ubuntu-drivers list to check all [08:12] alkisg: my load averages are 5.2, 5.6, 6.2 [08:12] lotuspsychje: tbh this is KDE [08:12] ahh [08:12] lotuspsychje: 384 [08:12] hello. how do i run gksu --user root mount -r "/dev/sda3" "/media/Windows/" [08:12] same story as ergodicwalk i think, kde being heavy [08:12] without error [08:12] zomaar: tested your game on unity? [08:13] alkisg: even with the video paused: ! oad average: 2.37, 4.70, 5.82 [08:13] i need someway to "group" the mount -r "/dev/sda3" "/media/Windows/" into one single command as pass it as an argument to gksu [08:14] !mount | biswaz [08:14] biswaz: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:14] Guys, both of you, try this: sudo wget http://termbin.com/5yn1 -O /usr/share/xsessions/xterm.desktop. Then, reboot, and select the xterm session to login without using kde. Then, run firefox or dosbox from that xterm, and see if it goes fast. If yes, then KDE is to blame. [08:14] yes. I want to mount. It it working perfectly in sudo mount -r "/dev/sda3" "/media/Windows/" [08:14] ergodicwalk, zomaar ^ [08:15] now I want to use graphical sudo gksu [08:15] alkisg: http://paste.debian.net/1003715/ [08:16] ubottu: lotuspsychje: any ideas? [08:16] biswaz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [08:16] alkisg: okay. rebooting now see you on the other end lol [08:16] lotuspsychje: I believe I had Unity installed on this system at one point but it is not easy to run it [08:16] alkisg: Can do [08:17] Brb [08:20] How do I install Ubuntu on my iPhone 7 Plus [08:22] KarlMarx: you don't [08:22] lets not mess around please [08:26] alkisg: so it was way faster in xterm.desktop but somehow when I reboot into KDE plasma it is not lagging now. idk why. same exact apps open. also, the top averages are 2.18, 1.09, 0.46 [08:26] ergodicwalk: heh, keep that xterm.desktop around then, it helps :P [08:27] OK, a KDE problem, to be reported in #kubuntu etc [08:27] yeah. [08:27] I messaged [08:30] hi [08:30] Rebelnet: welcome, how can we help you? [08:31] can't get ubuntu to run on my chromebook [08:32] weird [08:32] Need help. I have a 3TB external HDD which is formatted to NTFS. When I connect it to a PC running Ubuntu Live USB, the NTFS drive doens't show up. Instead it shows up as ZFS in Gparted [08:32] tried 4 times [08:33] do you mean you tried to install it 4 times and it wouldn't boot when you installed it? Or does the livecd not work? === Scytale89 is now known as Scytale === Scytale is now known as Scyt4l3 [08:33] Rebelnet: to install ubuntu on a chromebook you need to do a few things, think crouton & modyfied kernel etc [08:34] none of which is actually ubuntu [08:34] or supported in this channel [08:34] yeah, i did used crouton [08:36] Rebelnet: try #crouton, maybe [08:44] I'm sorry I am just an idiot. [08:44] I had set the CPU governer to conservative and had long since forgotten that I had done so :p. [08:46] Thank you for your help, this helped me remember my folly, some 10 minutes ago before I tried the xterm thing. [08:50] alkisg: Thanks for your help, the ondemand governer works fine. [08:50] Hi all! I installed unbuntu 17 on my laptop and external monitor worked no porblem. Installed LTS and now it doesn't work. Any ideas on where to look? It won't even detect. [08:51] trincyolo: what kernel do you have installed? (uname -a) === SyntaxASI|OFF is now known as SyntaxASI [08:52] Or uname -r, [08:52] zomaar: 4.10.0-42-generic #46~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 15:57:59 UTC 2017 [08:52] zomaar: 4.10.0-42-generic === LabMonkey is now known as StatutoryApe === StatutoryApe is now known as Mechanismus [08:54] trincyolo: Did you run 17.04 or 17.10?
