Maybe there's a log somewhere, but idk where it is [00:00] Quenz: those are just new "crashes"...no need to "look into"...we know what it was [00:01] You sure? [00:01] I'm happy to look into it if you want Bashing-om, but tatertots says they know what it is [00:02] Quenz: are you curious to compare to http://termbin.com/jggj i kinda sorta am curious...but honestly i could pass on finding out...but its your call at the end of the day buddy :) [00:03] tatertots All I really care about is fixing up this installation. If another paste or something would help, I'd be happy to give it [00:03] Quenz: tatertots's call, then he has the lead once more . [00:03] tatertots But I'm not fussed [00:03] tatertots I can just reboot now if that's more reasonable [00:05] Quenz: One can remove quiet splash from /etc/default/grub file and watch the boot messages :) [00:06] Bashing-om How do I do that? [00:06] Quenz: go ahead and do your rebooting....the "data" will just be even more "fresh" when you return :) [00:07] Rebooting now [00:09] Quenz: let me know when you're back [00:09] Quenz: let me know when done [00:09] tatertots Bashing-om flashing log on boot again [00:09] Quenz: good i will reveal [00:10] Quenz: Can you activate a terminal at this time ?

The second monitor appears to be recognized, however states it has `no signal`. We have ensured that it has been updated, and we restarted it so all of the new drivers and daemons can fire up properly. We then checked the connections and swapped cables to see if that was the issue, but did not fix. Is there currently a bug for this? [01:38] Also, this is a System76 meercat [01:38] Quenz: if you know your serial#, you can skip this step by saying "i know my serial" [01:40] Quenz: let me see if i can help reveal [01:41] tatertots W892953S66D [01:41] Quenz: pick one please :) http://termbin.com/f57f [01:41] thank you :) [01:42] standby [01:45] Quenz: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201518 [01:46] Quenz: disclaimer....no longer supported.......now that that's out of the way (but you already knew that right ;) [01:46] 2009 and all [01:47] Quenz: you currently have MBP55.88Z.00AC.B03.0906151708 [01:48] Quenz: so my question for you is......is there a newer EFI / SMC? yes or no [01:49] I'll wait [01:50] tatertots I'm not sure what specific piece of info you want [01:50] SMC version? [01:55] Quenz: is your apple firmware up to date? [01:55] tatertots I'm not sure [01:56] Trying to figure it out [01:56] Quenz: it's possible it is not [01:57] tatertots Is "EFI Boot ROM version" the firmware? [01:58] I think I know what to do [01:58] Quenz: and if it isn't...that's something you need to put on the "table" so to speak [01:58] tatertots I have to download this https://support.apple.com/kb/DL853?locale=en_US if it isn't already there [01:58] anyone?

[02:09] no worries [02:10] it wouldn't matter where you filed it....it'd never budge [02:19] So there's no reason to file it at all [02:19] Quenz: you will update to 1.7 firmware, and consult with me if your symptom(s) persist.

Haven't done any updates since installing El Capitan [02:30] Quenz: lol...oh your brain is at the "OS" level in the context of "updates/patches"......i was thinking a little closer to the "tree" where the "apple" fell from [02:31] i made a pun :) my first time [02:31] It sounds very poetic, but I don't fully understand [02:31] I didn't bother with further updates because I thought there was a good chance I would have to do a few fresh installs [02:31] I was having trouble with partitions last week [02:32] tatertots I opened the update package and it says "This computer does not need this update" [02:33] Quenz: you are currently using firmware 1.7 right now? yes or no [02:34] Quenz: I believe that from "their" perspective.....totally [02:34] tatertots SMC versions is 1.47f2, MBP55.00AC.B03 [02:35] *version [02:35] tatertots [02:35] Quenz: i also have a guess as to why that may be [02:36] Quenz: did you cross reference the SMC versions with the table i linked earlier?

I suspect the others won't be visually pleasing - including 1920x1080i [02:54] but, I'm willing to try - did you want me to test another one?

[02:56] tatertots but it's a very small partition and has no swap partition [02:57] Quenz: okay standby...processing [02:57] tatertots actually I think I installed the normal (non LTS) version before, then Ubuntu MATE [02:57] tatertots But they're gone now [02:57] peterr: you okay? [02:58] yes, so far :) [02:58] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26427481/ [02:59] how can I achieve the effect of unplugging and re-plugging my keyboard, through software? my keyboard periodically stops working, fixed when I unplug and replug, but it's annoying to reach down and physically dot hat [02:59] peterr: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:00] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26427493/ [03:01] Quenz: since you've accepted the road of "opinions" long ago...i must tell you my opinion on repeating the same thing(s) while expecting different results. [03:01] in dmesg I periodically see "USB disconnect" on the keyboard, it would be nice if, whenever it runs into that error, it runs whatever software runs when I unplug and replug [03:01] Quenz: standby [03:03] peterr: DPI set to (49, 50); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config [03:03] tatertots, do I enter that in CLI?

I am not sure I understand [03:04] peterr: i was just informing you..(i'm not sure why i do that when i know the person may not be able to interpret) [03:04] peterr: i think it's a bug in my programing [03:05] okay, I think I understand you... the dpi is set to 49/50? [03:07] peterr: i believe it would be in your best interest to try 1920x1080 [03:08] i can try [03:08] please do [03:08] I think the pixel density @ 49 /50 is pretty low? meaning bad? [03:10] it's no good... just tried 1080i [03:11] tried 1080 also [03:11] text becames very unclear and icons on left margin are only shown partly (only half) [03:13] had to install 17.10.1 today because 17.04 dropped support... not a wide window with all the issues with 17.10! [03:13] 17.10 having gnome always lags on my laptop [03:14] yeah, there are some issues [03:14] i missed unity [03:14] but I think it will be ironed out by 18.04... at least I hope [03:14] unity wasn't bad but I think it was a wasted effort [03:15] we have so many windowing environments on linux and limited resources on all... I wish a few would merge so we could move faster. [03:15] but people can choose what they like I guess [03:15] peterr: would you say things got better or worse? bigger or smaller? [03:15] i prefer some other lightwieght desktop environments [03:16] one that doesn't eat too much ram [03:16] i like the gnome setup in 17.10... at least it looks almost like unity :) [03:16] Quenz: do you have the same symptom(s) when using other DE's? [03:17] right now I am only using ~3 gigs of ram with 17.10.. I have an IDE open as well [03:17] tatertots Haven't tried using other desktop environments. Do you suggest I try regular Ubuntu? [03:17] Quenz: what's regular ubuntu? [03:18] Quenz: what's regular ubuntu? compared to what i see here https://paste.ubuntu.com/26426023/ [03:18] i recently observed that ubuntu's 17.10 gnome uses increased ram over time [03:20] tatertots I mean Ubuntu rather than Ubuntu Gnome [03:20] Quenz: personally that's too "similar" for my tastes [03:20] what ubuntu version are you talking about? [03:20] ubuntu 17.10 has gnome as its DE [03:21] tatertots What do you suggest? [03:21] Quenz: how fast is your internet? take long to obtain a Linux ISO? [03:21] hey, I'm having a little trouble installing ubuntu [03:21] I've made the USB install disk using dd [03:22] what is up [03:22] the machine will boot the GRUB menu [03:22] bumble, did it install [03:22] but when I go past that, all I get is a black screen [03:22] then you reboot and it is GRUB? [03:22] Bout 12 Mbps, maybe a bit faster with wire [03:22] whether I go straight to install or try it first [03:22] Quenz: if it takes 5 hours to get a ISO then nevermind...i don't have that kinda time..i have a SMITE match that will begin soon. [03:22] yeah, grub loads fine [03:23] just a black screen after that [03:23] tatertots Not 5 hours [03:23] tatertots Maybe 1 or less (I think) [03:23] bumble do you have a UEFI [03:23] mobo [03:23] its okay if you leave it open for 5 hours [03:23] do house chores while waiting... [03:24] hahaha [03:24] saegeoff: I think [03:24] how do I check? [03:25] when you boot from the USB stick, make sure to check.. When I boot mine and press F12, I get two options to boot from my USB stick. Regular and UEFI [03:25] I have noticed GRUB issues if I don't select UEFI [03:25] not sure if that is your issue but something similar happened to me [03:26] peterr: you okay? [03:30] ok, both options give me a black screen [03:30] grub comes up fine [03:31] but nothing that comes after that [03:31] bumble, perhaps try to rebuild your usb stick [03:31] do a hash on your iso, as well, to see if it is good [03:32] should've hashed the iso before imaging it in a usb stick [03:32] I did that already [03:32] oh [03:32] I've tried ubuntu 16.04 14.04 and ubuntu mate 16.04 [03:32] that was the first thing I did [03:32] grub comes up fine [03:33] tatertots, it got worse....smaller - not readable...

[05:02] libcurl4-gnutls-dev <- including this.. [05:04] dbb: what logical reason would a end user have in removing it if it already existed?...logical reason [05:04] well - I am asking if the two flavors conflict [05:04] openssl and gnutls [05:05] !info libssl-gnutls xenial | dbb [05:05] dbb: are you having any related symptom(s)? [05:05] dbb: Package libssl-gnutls does not exist in xenial [05:05] so a "human" did it [05:06] the long version of the question is.. installing python 2.7 packages with OS supplied python-xxx, or selectively with python native pip. Look before you leap -- so I run apt install python-xxx -s and look [05:08] when apt install libnetcdf-dev I see that libcurl4-gnutls-dev would have been installed.. I suspect that 99% of setups use openssl [05:08] What channel would be appropriate to ask question about apache virtual host configuration after installing LAMP server on Ubuntu? [05:08] so.. before using apt install libnetcdf-dev, I wanted to know if that gnutls would actually make some kind of policy decision or something [05:09] libnetcdf4 is part of the base of python-netcdf and netcdf-bin .. the libs have to work [05:10] so the question still stands.. do gnutls something packages conflict with an openssl one [05:10] tatertots, hey pastbin is already the newest version [05:12] tatertots, i don't think i will have time to do it. but when i am done with finals i will come back to hotel to use internet and get stuff done [05:12] Zythyr (IRC): apache has a help channel dont it? #apache maybe? [05:13] almoxarife[m] okay thanks [05:13] Zythyr (IRC): good luck [05:16] ok - new info. I installed the openssl version of libcurl4 dev, and next tried apt install libnetcdf-dev. AND in fact, no libcurl4 dev would be installed. So I claim that is sufficient proof that the libcurl4 dev slot is now filled. [05:17] the gnutls wont get installed anymore, is the side-effect [05:21] ver [05:25] i want to use qq to chat but no install [05:25] why know what is it mean? http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1516512124.png [05:25] in real example? [05:26] tatertots, still here? I might not be here for much longer....did you refuel? :) is there any tasks you want me to run? :) [05:26] if I put on my VPS there mydestination on my domain assume it will (mydestination = kselax.ru ) What will happen then?

[05:27] peterr: you need to power off completely, disconnect the monitor cable, switch video interface cables if possible, power the computer back on and consult with me. [05:27] tatertots, switch to what? [05:27] it means my server will accept all mails where anyname + @ + kselax.ru ? [05:28] I'm using hdmi right now [05:28] seems yes, [05:28] Now I set that empty [05:28] it means my server not accept any domain? [05:29] in video lesson said if it empty it means postfix can send message, and on that articles said that it can deliver not send, who is right? [05:29] how to check it on practice? [05:30] Is there a way I can get libuser_ldap on Ubuntu 16.04? [05:30] peterr: use what ever other video interface cable you have in your inventory. [05:30] default libuser does not build with it. [05:30] peterr: if you have no others...simply follow all other steps [05:32] I did redirect from root@kselax.ru to my mail neovichnn@gmail.com [05:32] echo "body" | mail -s "theme" root@kselax.ru [05:33] all message from root@kselax.ru or postmaster@kselax.ru will redirect to neovichnn@gmail.com [05:34] if I put it mydestination = kselax.ru I won't send mails?

[06:23] tatertots: do you know? it is administrator for mail server [06:23] In computers and technology, postmaster is a term used to identify the administrator of a mail server. Nearly every domain should have the e-mail address postmaster@example.com where errors in e-mail processing are directed [06:24] it means my domain kselax.ru has postmaster@kselax.ru? [06:24] if my server has error it will send to this mail? [06:24] why need this postmaster? [06:25] what is differ FQDN and URL ? [06:25] postmaster@kselax.ru is FQDN or URL? [06:27] FQDN (full qualified domain name) URL(uniform resource locator) [06:29] FQDN is just notion, kselax.ru is FQDN and URL both? [06:29] can we call any domain like FQDN?

[11:39] thx laptop mod is installed , but still my laptop take too much time to start, i am using ufei [11:40] define too much time to start [11:40] and what part is taking up the time [11:49] why can i boot on wayland not xorg? [11:50] dingir: you may need to rephrase this question. [11:50] ok sorry [11:50] when i get to login screen, if i select "ubuntu" i can login if i select "ubuntu xorg" it brings me loopback to login screen [11:51] hello. i'm new to this all [11:51] secretqwerty10: hello there. [11:51] dingir: which ubuntu release are you on now? [11:51] 17.10 [11:52] Hi can someone give me some help with systemd resolved? just recently updated to 17.10 dns stopped working. dig works. but curl does not resolve the domain... [11:52] dingir: oh i was thinking you were going to install 16.04 [11:52] dingir: is xorg installed? [11:52] joueg: my recommendation is to disable systemd-resolved. it's broken. [11:53] @blackflow and use? [11:53] blackflow: is there a bug report on that? [11:53] yes im going back, sure.. [11:53] just trying some last things [11:53] how do i know if xorg is installed? [11:53] it is listed as a choice.. [11:53] joueg: whatever resolver your DHCP server is giving you, or set up manually in resolv.conf and/or run something like unbound. [11:54] is there nvidia support for 17.10? [11:54] dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core [11:54] ok sec.. its rebooting [11:54] systemd-resolved is NOT a recursive resolver, it's a stub resolver. so you don't need it. [11:55] @blackflow so I changed resolv.conf to namserver 8.8.8.8 yet curl still doesn't resolve [11:55] seems that hosts file works [11:55] how should that look? [11:56] etc/nsswitch [11:56] joueg: you can't just change it. you have to mask systemd-resolved, and then set /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to desired resolving method, see NetworkManager.conf manpage for dns= entry [11:56] yes it returns xserver-xorg-c 2:1.19.5-0ub === gms is now known as Guest14102 [11:56] joueg: note also that resolv.conf is a symlink [11:56] can you as a user create your own session (for yourself) without going through some login program and thus bypass the pam_limit (and others) sessions that are executed when you login? [11:57] if you want control over it, unlink it and create a file. [11:59] damn.. [11:59] that amdgpu driver almost worked [11:59] i have no opencl shared libraries apparently.. im screwed [12:09] @blackflow I now have my resolv.conf not symlnked and with nameserver 8.8.8.8 and dns=default on networkmanager.conf [12:09] however no change [12:10] etc/hosts works if i place a domain directly there [12:10] what should my nsswitch look like? [12:11] don't edit resolv.conf, put a file in resolv.conf.d for static dns [12:11] or better, use netplan [12:11] !netplan [12:12] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan [12:12] yeah I have no dns right now so before I can set up anything I need some basic dns [12:15] ohh ok managed! default set my namserver to 192.168.1.1 by network manager [12:15] I'm starting to hate systemd [12:16] ok so now this is better [12:16] at least I can use my laptop should be easier to fix this mess now than using my phone [12:16] @blackflow thanks [12:18] joueg: I recommend you install unbound and have a local, proper resolver so you don't depend on ISP/DHCP/systemd [12:18] how do i know if im using wayland or xorg on my current session? [12:19] joueg: systemd-resolved, despite the name, is not a recursive resolver, it's a stub, so it requires a resolver, given by dhcp, or manually, which defeats its purpse as glibc can resolve with those anyway and does so PROPERLY. [12:19] dingir: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE [12:19] joueg: one way is to have it set by dhcp, what you did now manually, but I think that requries using dnsmasq (and dns=dnsmasq for NEtworkManager) [12:19] 'm back [12:19] akik very thanks [12:20] i have no idea why i'm even doing this [12:20] joueg: another to use unbound (and dns=unbound in NetworkManager.conf), which is what I'd recommend. [12:20] personally I use bind, but I have reasons for that. [12:20] @blackflow so what exactly is systemd there for? basically from what you are explaining it just adds an extra hop [12:20] systemd-resolved (not all of systemd) [12:21] joueg: it's worse than that, it uses XML over dbus to resolve names..... I have no idea why it was added to the provject, or even why ubuntu is using it. 17.04 was a particular mess with it. it's unable to use DNSSEC properly so the canonical "solution" was to disable dnssec.... :/ [12:21] it also does NOT follow the standards of resolve.conf which demand every entry be tried IN ORDER. it "remembers" last one valid, which easily breaks vpn and LAN resolvers. [12:21] I remember tinkering with this on the upgrade to 17.04 because again it was not working at the time the solution was to revert back to dnsmasq [12:21] but I think now they removed it [12:22] yeah it's a mess. [12:22] ohh well I thought they were going for a user friendly works out of the box os... [12:22] thanks for the help [12:23] Hello. Can someone help with with a blank purple screen when booting ubuntu 16.04, due to some nvidia driver problems? I get it after every dist-upgrade, and I never found a durable solution [12:23] user friendly works out of the box has been the case for many years. dhcp/glic are perfectly capable of doint it on their own. [12:23] *glibc [12:24] but it seems they have broken that [12:24] does someone have a macpro 6,1 and was able to get 3d acceleration to run ? [12:25] joueg: yup. [12:25] joueg: but the good thing is one can remove and disable unwanted components. as long as tath's possible, all is good. when it stops being possible, well.... [12:26] yeah I get that my point is just a normal will user will just say it's broken and move on === joueg2 is now known as joueg [12:27] blackflow any reason I should use unbound over say 8.8.8.8 (google) ? [12:27] or even opens dns? [12:27] joueg: full control over your DNS stack. if you need it, that is. For example, it's easy to clear DNS caches by having a local resolver, if you're a web developer and/or deal with changing domains and their zones. [12:28] but you're of course free to use google's if privacy is not that much of a concern to you :) [12:28] ohh that makes perfect sense and indeed would be useful [12:28] BVale: I don't have one, but what did you try so far? [12:30] what's a "positional parameter"? [12:30] btw, nproc isn't stopping a user from starting unlimited processes? All I have to do is to start a new session and get another set of nproc limit to fill up [12:44] when I type 'cd' by itself into terminal it takes me to my home directory including desktop, documents, etc. If I want to navitage to root directory, I have to type "cd ../../../.....". Is there a way to navitage to root directory quickly so that I don't need to use ../../ a bunch of times? [12:45] cd / # would do [12:45] oerheks: ahh! that did the trick. Thank you [12:54] Hello. I got new SSD, and I formatted it. However, it seems that it's set so that I cannot modify contents of that drive at all [12:55] I haven't ever used multiple drives before, so... Basically, I'm actually unsure what things should look like when I get it to work [12:57] Jonii: it should work just as your hdd [12:57] Jonii chown that disk, tons of examples to find, like https://itsfoss.com/set-write-permission-ext4-partition-ubuntu-linux/ [12:57] I can mount it to /media/ where I don't have rights to modify it at all [12:57] if you would do sudo + copy, it would work [12:58] Jonii: you say you formatted it. What filesystem did you format it with? [12:58] Ext4 [12:59] I used all the default settings of gparted [13:00] Jonii: if you want it mounted automatically you'll need to add it to fstab and assign a mount point [13:00] !fstab | Jonii [13:00] Jonii: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions [13:00] auronandace, still the owner would be root, no? [13:01] auronandace, yeah I was wondering about that. What's the default way? Like, I could literally mount it wherever, right? But I suppose there are some standard ways to do it [13:01] oerheks: wouldn't that depend on the options you use to mount it? [13:02] sudo chown -R jonii:jonii /media/ [13:02] hm, I am getting out of ideas. Nothing helps me fix the purple screen this time.. [13:04] oerheks: sorry, yes. I'm so used to using the uid option for mounting ntfs partitions. never had to manually add an ext4 partition to fstab [13:16] Jonii: I create a directory under /mnt/ and usually name it after the partition I'm mounting (like /mnt/sda5). Depends where you want it really. /media is usually used to dynamically detect drives to mount as far as I remember [13:17] auronandace +1, /media for removable media, and /mnt for fstab entries [13:18] I use gnome-disk-utility to set my drives to mount where I want on boot. :) [13:32] hi. How do I fix "Cannot open /dev/dsp (No such file or directory)"? [13:32] Need help with this https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/dfab81bbf1183339fcc7e881c156fd2b [13:33] BlackDalek: that's OSS, I don't think there's support for it in Ubuntu, where ALSA is the primary audio kernel interface [13:35] BlackDalek: check padsp [13:36] pulseaudio-utils: /usr/bin/padsp [13:37] padsp -h | head -n1 [13:37] /usr/bin/padsp - redirect OSS audio devices to PulseAudio [13:39] skinux: whenever you paste (unless told differently) provide the full commands you ran and the full output they generated [13:40] also provide context, such as ubuntu release version ('lsb_release -ds' or cat /etc/issue) and what you tried to do, expected to see happen, and how the result differs from your point of view. === jelly-home is now known as jelly [13:40] https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/dfab81bbf1183339fcc7e881c156fd2b [13:42] tomreyn, how do I make use of padsp if the program is launched by ./filename? I'm getting the same error about dev/dsp missing if I type padsp ./filename [13:43] Any experience with the following error: "libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so" ? [13:44] BlackDalek: padsp interpreteroffilename ./filename [13:44] BlackDalek: or just: padsp interpreteroffilename filename [13:45] run: file './filename' # to determine the correct interpreter [13:45] ok thanks [13:47] tomreyn, it outputs: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, stripped, too many notes (256) [13:47] tomreyn, so what do I enter for interpreter? [13:47] anyone knows if there is an interface like the windows one for amd gpu ? [13:47] PapaJoe245: more details needed, see what i wrote for skinux above. [13:48] like a place to set the fan threshold and stuff like that... [13:48] BlackDalek: it's bytecode, so if you have a system which mates this (32-bit) architecture you can run it directly. [13:49] Hi guys , please help me I wanted to install ubuntu along side windowa 10 , I disable secure boot and fast boot , and i created 500 mb fat32 and 40 G ext4 [13:50] Unfortunatly during instalation grub it gave error [13:50] And i cannot boot windows 10 not ubuntu === gms is now known as Guest76855 [13:51] What should i do i have important date on windows [13:51] tomreyn, sorry... you've lost me. My system is 64-bit. I'm still no closer to discovering what I type for padsp ?interpreter??? filename [13:52] dingir: I think there isn't [13:52] tomreyn: It started with trying to start mysql service. Let me add that info [13:53] Okay, it's on the gist [13:53] ok [13:54] I'm not being able to find solution info online. [13:54] BlackDalek: you'd only need an interpreter if ./filename was a skript, so an interpretered language. but it is already compiled code which can be run directly. however, it's a 32-bit application and since you have a 64-bit system you will n3eed to solve the resulting compatibility issues. i don't know how to make padsp work with 32-bit applications but maybe searching the web will help you. [13:55] dingir: have a look at https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile [13:56] hi I need some help setting up the some dkim dns records. can anyone here help? [13:56] ok thjanks [13:58] dingir: if you don't want to build it yourself, try https://launchpad.net/~trebelnik-stefina/+archive/ubuntu/radeon-profile [13:58] tanks again [14:00] pabed___: what happens exactly?

It’s been a long time with Ubuntu (and a nice time), but in light of the way EOL is handled, I’ve now moved on. Thanks everyone that helped me with issues here over the years :) [15:05] s [15:06] anyone know where the wine Home directory is I know its in drive_c but is it under users/username/Downloads for instance is there a quick way as a user to change to the correct path? [15:07] you set it in the wine config === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [15:08] hello, im coming from freebsd land and i need to compile something that requires gcc6.1 at least [15:09] i downloaded the newest ubuntu and it only has gcc 5.4? and no other gcc is in the repos? [15:09] what is the exact version of ubuntu you installed [15:09] newest ubuntu is 17.10 with gcc 7.1 I think [15:09] hence my interest what version [15:10] Linux beans 4.4.0-87-generic #110-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 18 12:55:35 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:10] i just downloaded it [15:10] what version of ubuntu [15:10] not what kernel [15:10] ugh [15:10] 7.2 even [15:10] what version of ubuntu did you install [15:10] in freebsd uname -a tells everything [15:10] sorry [15:10] 1 sec [15:10] ubunut 16.04 [15:11] so thats not the latest [15:11] thats the current LTS [15:11] as such LTS is supposed to be "static" for the duration of it's lifespan, which was 2016 [15:11] hence why you have GCC 5 [15:11] uh okay [15:12] is it still possible to install gcc7 or 6? [15:12] if you find a repo that contains it [15:12] be aware though if it's not in the official ubuntu repo the quality/support of that package will not be supported here [15:13] alright [15:13] anyone know why upgrading LTS (after a fresh installation) fails to boot. Please see https://imgur.com/61yeBqO [15:14] upgrading LTS ? [15:14] from what to what [15:14] just a regular update [15:14] installed 16.04.3. Had networking running during install so it'd supposedly install the latest packages. Ran apt update/upgrade afterwards and rebooted, and it comes to that [15:14] so not an upgrade, just applying updates [15:14] right sorry. meant apt upgrade [15:15] not a problem, just clarifying [15:15] system had been running fine. previously had 16.04.3, installed 17.10 on top of it, went back to 16.04.3 [15:15] interesting that kworker is hung, [15:15] and then after install > reboot > update > reboot = hang [15:15] thats reasonably harsh [15:15] i assumed so [15:16] trying the older (4.10) kernel doesn't make a difference, so i don't think it's a kernel issue [15:16] what network card do you have [15:16] broadcom by any chance ? [15:16] i also did not have the intel microcode selected, so that maybe rules out an Intel snafu [15:16] yes [15:16] believe so [15:16] Hmmm, can you boot into recovery mode ? [15:16] this is the machine http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np6872-clevo-n870hk1.html [15:16] I can but cannot get Networking to work in recovery mode [15:16] thats ok [15:16] think it says it can't find /etc/resolv.conf [15:17] tried running a live USB, chroot, to try to check packages and such, and after chroot, it can't resolve networks or ping google or anything [15:17] boot into reovery mode, and as a test disable networking from systemd, then reboot into normal mode [15:17] I'm curious if it's the network module thats hanging it [15:17] (i'm new to trying that approach, so maybe that's not how it works) [15:17] not sure what chrooting would prove at this time ? [15:17] ikonia: ok, mind explaining how to do that once in recovery? [15:17] systemctl disable $network-service-name [15:17] networking I think [15:18] i dunno, wanted to run apt to see if all latest packages installed properly [15:18] ok lemme try that [15:18] sec [15:18] systemctl list-unit-files --type=service should show you [15:18] have to mount the filesystem as rw first? [15:19] Hi I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I want to set DNS. I am using usb tethering for connection. The problem is when I restart my computer after setting dns a new network is created like Wired connection 2, Wired connection 3 etc. So I can't use dns [15:19] network-manager.service and networking.service [15:19] nukem: yes, you'll need to mount the file system rw, sorry [15:19] get rid of both network-manager and networking as a test [15:19] ikonia: and a few others: NetworkManager-dispatcher.service, NetworkManager-wait-online.service (this one seems to be having issues), NetworkManager.service [15:20] nukem: so that wait service is the error you are seeing [15:20] however I suspect thats because the network service isn't coming up [15:22] ok after that then go back to recovery menu and try to resume boot? [15:23] well that worked.. [15:23] i think last night i was able to go through recovery to get it to boot but i didn't disable anything like that [15:23] was late, not sure what i did [15:24] ikonia: and strangely, my networking seems to be working [15:24] i disabled networking, network-manager, and networkmanager-wait-online.service [15:24] nukem: when you login network manager will start [15:24] that networking is "pre-login" [15:25] i see [15:25] so what do you suggest i do to make this a permanent fix? [15:25] and presumably there might be a reason i'd want networking to be running before having to physically logging in [15:25] I suggest now that your machine is booting, you can work through the proble [15:25] problem [15:25] remote desktop for example [15:26] yeats: yes, that's what I said (exactly what the Files section says), but why is it so? [15:28] nukem, services like ssh and httpd do not need login === james is now known as Guest30926 [15:28] anyone know why the spectre fix kernels have only gone into -proposed? [15:28] ikonia: any tips on where to look to start investigating the root cause? journalctl doesn't seem to be very helpful here. are previous failed boots logged somewhere else? [15:29] nukem: should be details in the syslog [15:29] kk4ewt: but if i disable pre-login networking, won't my network interface be deactivated until logging in? === james_ is now known as Guest66723 [15:30] ikonia: how far back does syslog usually go? not very far, i presume [15:30] should go back quite a way, syslog doesn't get rotated hourly or anything like that [15:30] nope if you totally disable networking you will have no networking even after loggin on [15:31] nick barabas-A250 [15:31] kk4ewt: I booted into recovery, mounted the fs, went to root prompt, disabled a few networking-related services, and resumed boot. that got me through, and networking seemed to be working fine [15:31] ikonia: would lvmetad have anything to do with this? [15:32] doubtful, but possible I guess [15:32] depends on the error/problem [15:32] i do have a message on tty7 when shutting down about lvmetad [15:32] read that i should go into some lvm conf file and disable it [15:32] are you using lvm ? [15:32] recovery is runlevel 1 when you boot in you are login with gui you are logging in on runlevel 5 [15:33] ikonia: i am [15:33] but read that lvm doesn't use it by default, even if it's running [15:33] nukem: so understanding the error would be key then [15:33] nukem, can you say why you dont want any networking [15:33] hi. I am having a problem where ubuntu desktop doesn't show after login. [15:33] kk4ewt: I do want networking. But it seems to be hanging my system upon boot (after fresh LTS installation followed by update/reboot). See here: https://imgur.com/61yeBqO [15:34] I am able to access bash by doing ctrl+alt+f1 [15:34] but nothing on the gui. I just get a blank blueish screen. [15:34] any ideas on how i can resolve this problem? [15:35] why does Python IDLE have a ugly Windows 98 like theme ? [15:35] i'm using paper gtk [15:47] soogy: is python idle a gtk application? [15:47] brainwash, no idea but i think it is [15:47] unlikely its qt [15:48] When I go to Google in Firefox, I get SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER. When I searched the issue on Bing, none of the answers seems to apply to me. Does anyone know why this would happen on a home computer? [15:48] soogy: "coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit" [15:49] soogy: IDLE is Tk, not Gtk, that's why [15:49] Gizmo_Romick: the certificate you have does not match the certificate google is offering [15:50] ggz, is there a fix for the theming ? [15:50] I would ask in the python channel [15:50] soogy: i don't know sorry [15:51] ikonia: I guess I should try resetting the certficate store in Firefox? Maybe something got corrupted with google's certs. I think that is more likely than a man in the middle attack. [15:51] Gizmo_Romick: I don't think thats likley [15:52] Gizmo_Romick: have you actually LOOKED at the certificates to see where the missmatch is ? [15:55] ikonia: I just need to figure out how to do that [15:55] open the cert - the browser will also expand what it's offering [15:57] I'm not getting it (read a bunch of articles and stackexchanges now). What's the difference between DAC and MAC? Is it that DAC allows users to control access rights while MAC isn't? [15:59] ikonia: well... tried booting normally, except with `nomodeset`, and it seems to work... [16:00] nomode set is for graphics config [16:00] ikonia: had tried to reboot after getting in through recovery, and it was hanging on something to do with finding GPU changes [16:00] I know... [16:00] ikonia: I click on the "i" next to the website name, click on the right arrow and then more information. It takes me to the page info, where it says that "Verified by" is "not specified". Could that be the problem? [16:00] It's an nvidia card..figured it wouldn't hurt to see if that had any impact.. and sure enough. makes no sense [16:01] hello [16:01] nukem: I don't understand how that is impacting your network...unless that is red herring and the network is hanging because nvidia is hanging [16:01] why "what should be already there" doesn't come with Ubuntu? http://www.webupd8.org/2016/05/customize-notifyosd-notification.html [16:01] Gizmo_Romick: no idea, you'll need to look at the certs to understand it [16:02] ikonia: I suspect that could be it... and I'm not even using the nvidia driver; still using nouveau I believe [16:02] nukem: thats ok nomode set is not only for the nvidia module [16:02] ikonia: no wait... i see now that my network isn't running === gaurav__ is now known as gouravkandoria [16:02] ikonia: are you talking about the certificate store? It looks like google's cert should be signed by GlobalSign [16:02] so disabling the service in recovery as before - that survives reboots? [16:02] nukem: thats ok also, that means network manager just isn't starting as you login [16:03] Gizmo_Romick: googles cert is [16:03] nukem: yes, recovery is your "real" system [16:03] #newcomers [16:03] ikonia: yeah, which is prob why it booted successfully (i.e. me setting nomodeset was just coincidence to successful boot).. but not sure I want it this way. [16:03] nukem: that would make sense [16:03] #newcomers [16:04] Helloworld [16:05] ikonia: rebooted and now it comes up to tty, not GUI Login [16:06] ikonia: trying startx, think it'll fail [16:06] don't run startx [16:06] you've messed with your graphics settings (I dont know why - I don't know what problem you where trying to fix) [16:06] you asked for help with your machine hanging - it's suddenly changed to messing with graphics config [16:07] I'm missing context here [16:07] booting temporarily with nomodeset shouldn't have a permanent impact on it, to my knowledge [16:07] nukem: how did you do it temporary ? [16:08] ikonia: 'e' at grub menu [16:09] nukem: so look at the xorg log and see what fatal error it's complaining about [16:09] ikonia: I notice now that there is no "view certificate" button when I visit google's site, but there is when I visit other secure sites [16:10] Gizmo_Romick: I can see the google cert just fine [16:11] Gizmo_Romick, did you try to reset firefox, by removing ~/.mozilla/ folder ? [16:11] and restart firefox after that [16:11] ikonia: it's been trying to reboot for a while and still getting those task kworker messages apparently [16:12] ikonia: even though seemingly the networking services weren't even running [16:12] what have you changed ? [16:12] what is the service failing before kworker complaining [16:12] I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu, I have the USB plugged into my keyboard but it won't install [16:12] oerheks: I'll try it, but it seems the problem has synced between multiple computers. I'm afraid that the problem will just come back [16:13] ikonia: so far i only disabled those few networking services via recovery console, and rebooted with nomodeset, then now trying to reboot from that session and it's hung on shutting down. there are no failure messages.. that's what's weird. lemme paste a pic [16:13] did you look in the xorg log as I suggested ? [16:14] haven't gotten to that point yet b/c the system isn't accessible yet [16:14] it's still in the shutdown/reboot sequence [16:15] "dpkg -l" listed "notify-osd", but not "ps aux", not even "sudo service --status-all". So what freaking thing actually displays the notifications? [16:16] oerherks: that immediately fixed the issue. I'll see what happens when connected to firefox sync [16:17] Gizmo_Romick, before you do that, look for the plugins you have installed, there might be one that is faulty [16:17] hi every [16:17] and set them back one by one, to see which one [16:17] body [16:17] Hi all, looking for some help with a login loop... forums have been a dead end for me. [16:19] Hi! I created an l2 openvpn connection from my laptop (ubuntu 17.04) to an openvpn server. Interestingly once the vpn is up I'm unable to edit the route table with ip route add/delete (ie: I'd like to add a default gw for the laptop via a gw on the server side network (and yes, the gw on the remote network is in the same subnet as the client) [16:19] Any ideas? ip route gives no error, not is there anything in syslog [16:20] Warren_: do you mean GUI login? Does a console log-in work (Ctrl+Alt+F2) ? === titou_ is now known as titou [16:21] oerherks: as soon as I enable firefox sync, even if I don't sync plugins, the problem comes back [16:22] TJ-: yes, the GUI login is looping, but I can log in from the console. [16:22] Warren_: check for files not owned by your user in it's $HOME directory: "find $HOME -maxdepth 2 \! -user $UID -ls" [16:22] ok brb [16:22] Warren_: This is usually caused by $HOME/.Xauthority being owend by root due to using sudo startx or similar [16:23] Warren_: if that's what you see do "sudo chown $USER:$USER $HOME/*" and the retry the GUI log-in [16:23] 19792049 4 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 16:14 /home/warren/.cache/dconf 19800241 4 drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 16:12 /home/warren/.dbus find: ‘/home/warren/.dbus’: Permission denied [16:23] root in your homedir.... [16:23] Gizmo_Romick, oke, not sure what to look for in your sync'd data .. [16:24] Xauthority was something I already checked, but it's owned by me [16:25] oerheks: I'm enabling syncing on each of the options. I think it may be "preferences". I'm not sure which preference it couldbe [16:25] Warren: I'd chown those directories above.... === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [16:25] Warren_: ./dbus and others could lead to the same problem. Also check contents of $HOME/.xsession-errors [16:26] ok, I'll give that a try, reboot to test, and I'll be back. [16:27] Warren_: reboots aren't required [16:27] Warren_: once the fixes are done Alt+F7 to return to the greeter log-in screen [16:30] oerheks: is there any way to reset the certificate store? would that potentially solve my issue? [16:32] crandon: 17.04 is !eol === ptetteh227_ is now known as ptetteh227 [16:36] i need help with netflix and firefox. I have ubuntu 16.04. I can see nothing and when i try to install the extensions for firefox, it doesn’t work. Thx [16:38] tomreyn: I know, do-release-upgrade is running in the background :) [16:39] tomreyn: Question is still valid though. [16:39] Back - without success [16:39] I've never seen the route table being 'immutable' unless the command you issued was syntactically or semantically (ie: gw was not available on a directly connected network) [16:40] GUI login still looping, nothing in my home dir is not owned by me [16:40] Warren__: Can you run the above find command once again? [16:40] Warren__: Ah ok. [16:40] yeah, it returns nothing now [16:41] Do you have a ~/.xsession-errors file in you home? [16:41] Warren__: Do you have a ~/.xsession-errors file in you home? [16:42] Yes. [16:42] Warren__: Please let us know it's content [16:43] k [16:44] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26431329/ [16:46] ikonia: well, the Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online issue is also happneing on a 17.10 VM... [16:49] hi [16:49] W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ https://paste.ubuntu.com/26431369/ , how to install it ? [16:50] Warren__: how are you starting the GUI? [16:50] Warren__: using "/usr/bin/startx" ? [16:50] After I log in on the console? just "startx" [16:51] why do people still use startx [16:51] Warren__: ahhh, that's why. Use "sudo systemctl restart lightdm" (or gdm3 on 17.10+) [16:51] ikonia: because it's all over the web for the last 20 years? :) [16:51] ok... brb [16:52] I know but it's randomly typing commands [16:52] W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ https://paste.ubuntu.com/26431369/ , how to install it ? line number 2390 [16:52] gopal: do you need that firmware? [16:52] yes i think so [16:53] so, you do have that AMD hardware? [16:53] yes [16:54] Warren__: Which ubuntu version are you running? [16:54] gopal: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu [16:54] how to install it ? [16:54] gopal: in later ubuntu releases those firmware files will be included in the linux-firmware package [16:55] gopal: as brainwash points out, you'll need to grab it from upstream because it's not in the Ubuntu linux-firmware packages as yet [16:55] how ? i'm using ubuntu 16.04 lts [16:55] gopal: you download the files and move them accordingly [16:55] can i do it using a cmd ? [16:56] gopal: easiest way is "git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git" [16:57] cloning? that will take some time, won't it? [16:57] typed it and it is done ? [16:57] gopal: once it's pulled in "sudo rsync -av linux-firmware/amdgpu/ /lib/firmware/amdgpu/" [16:58] ty [16:59] gopal: which cpu doe you have there? you may not actually need this [16:59] i'm using amd r5 m 430 [16:59] back - still looping [16:59] tomreyn: that's for gpu [16:59] brainwash: yes, and the intel gpu is defined by the cpu [17:00] and laptop modal hp ay008tx [17:01] ikonia: very strange... I've got a 17.10 VM on a different (Windows) machine and it's exhibiting very similar behavior [17:01] gopal: so intel hd grpahics 520. and which amd graphics card? [17:01] amd r5 m 430 [17:02] Also, you were suggesting usr/bin/startx instead of just startx? that failed outright, but I might be misremembering what you said (I'm on the webchat, so I don't have a history) [17:02] ikonia: I believe I ran apt update/upgrade on it at some point yesterday and rebooted after. just lookd at it and it was halted at Network Manager Wait Online [17:02] nukem: most odd [17:02] ikonia: surely it must be some update they pushed in the last couple days but I can't find anything on reddit or the forums [17:02] nukem: seems unlikley === razor is now known as Guest59492 [17:05] Warren__: Don't use startx, use "sudo systemctl restart lightdm" (or gdm3 on 17.10+) [17:06] Warren_: but now you need to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and possibly /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log for clues [17:06] OH! ok. [17:06] how much time git clone is going to take ? [17:07] coucou [17:07] gopal: it's having to fetch all the firmware binaries so a little while first time, subsequent "cd linux-firmware; git pull" will be fast since they'd only fetch changes [17:08] gopal: you shouldn't need to do a 'git pull' though unless there are newer firmwares you /need/ [17:08] !fr | ArtMia [17:08] ArtMia: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

I'm going to have to come back tonight - work calls. [17:13] ikonia: reinstalled fresh...and didn't connect to network so that it would use the default packages from the ISO... kernel 4.10 etc... and yet it's doing it... it has never done this before [17:14] ikonia: and the fact that the VM on this other machine is doing it, using a completely different image... and it's a VM... wtf [17:15] Warren_: I /think/ the issue is you're using a DE that requires a compositor with hardware acceleration support but the VESA driver is being used which doesn't have that [17:16] Warren_: solution: ensure you're not using "nomodeset" and/or the correct DRM GPU driver is installed and working [17:16] "DE"? [17:17] Not familiar with nomodeset [17:17] Warren_: Desktop Environment - session - Gnome, Plasma, LXDE, XFCE, etc. [17:17] k [17:17] Warren_: check "cat /proc/cmdline" see if there's a modeset option specified [17:18] test [17:18] cat /proc/cmdline returns BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-25-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [17:18] Warren_: default Unity/Gnome/KDE-Plasma require hardware accelerated support for the compositor, so I suspect that is the issue due to Xorg using the VESA software driver [17:19] Warren_: cmdline is ok then; no "nomodeset" option; need to identify and install the correct driver for the GPU [17:19] Warren_: start with "ubuntu-drivers list" [17:20] I want to register a Google Voice number, but failed. If anyone in U.S. or in cannada could help me? [17:20] TJ-: that just returns "intel-microcode" [17:21] can a mobo just die? :| [17:21] my offboard sound card wasn't getting detected, so I rebooted a few times. [17:21] I moved it to another slot [17:21] and then the mobo stopped giving any sign of life [17:21] not even leds. [17:21] Warren_: OK, so now "lspci -nn -d::0300" [17:21] that mobo is a little old and its onboard audio has been dead for a while now [17:21] 5 to 7 years old [17:22] TJ-: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) [17:22] StephenLynx: they sounds like pretty big clues it was dying [17:22] so yes, they just go belly up one day?

But Kernel modules: i915 returned Kernel: command not found [17:27] StephenLynx: gah!

[17:28] hi [17:28] StephenLynx: not sure how I got your's to tab-complete there! [17:28] ok, i'll try that and come back later. thank you for yourr help! [17:28] is there a PPA available in order to get a hard real-time kernel [17:28] ressected: I've not seen one [17:30] TJ-, thank you [17:31] ressected: -lolatency images are pretty good [17:32] TJ-, they are but I have a special application :) [17:34] ressected: I guess you have to apply the -rt patches and build [17:35] ressected: you could do that in a PPA to make the packages available [17:35] TJ-, that's looking like what I need to do [17:35] TJ-, trying to avoid that if I can [17:36] ressected: it was pretty easy. i followed this guide https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#build_your_own_real-time_kernel [17:37] ressected: should be pretty easy to build on the linux-stable-rt repos with added Ubuntu sauce in a PPA [17:38] akik, TJ-, looks great, thanks [17:38] TJ-: what's linux-stable-rt? [17:39] akik: the mainline repo https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/ [17:39] akik: there's also the devel repo at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/ [17:40] cool [17:43] TJ-: the patches have been included in there already? (instead of manual patching) [17:43] akik: that's where the patches come from [17:43] TJ-: i used this source https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ [17:44] probably the same thing [17:45] akik: yes, those are the patchsets rather than the repo, makes it harder to work with if you need to track commits, cherry-pick, id regressions, etc [17:53] Hi, i have problems. My computer wont shutdown. Try to do sudo halt and it hans at power: halted. So it looks like it does all the shutdown procedure, but it hangs when it acutaly gonna turn of the computer [17:54] after doing this "sudo rsync -av linux-firmware/amdgpu/ /lib/firmware/amdgpu/" how to launch amdgpu? [17:54] ressected: akik I'm seeing if we can get the -rt mainline kernels built in the kernel-ppa [17:55] gopal: reboot, or "sudo modprobe amdgpu" if it isn't already loaded [17:55] TJ-, that would be fantastic. I understand it's a comparatively small segment of users but it would save people a lot of time [17:56] how to find particular installed program in terminal? [17:56] and after sudo modprobe amdgpu ? [17:56] aayan, aptcache search program [17:57] Badegakk: I would use the magic sysrq key. One second. [17:57] Badegakk: when you press F1 for text shutdown, any errors? [17:57] aayan, sorry it's apt-cache [17:57] ressected: yeah, it ought to be as simple as pointing the build scripts to a different URI [17:57] aptcache in terminal? [17:58] or its a program? [17:59] I remove the quite splash in grub, so i can see the whole thing, and theres no errerors [17:59] Badegakk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key Scroll down to "Uses" and use REISUB to try to reboot the machine. Or use REISUO if you want to shutdown instead of reboot. [17:59] aayan, example to search for sendmail do "apt-cache search sendmail" or a partial string [18:00] aayan, nm that searches all available packages [18:01] reboot works, only suspend and shutdown that dont work. But i will look at the link [18:01] and after sudo modprobe amdgpu , what should i do to launch it ? [18:03] gopal: that's all you need, it auto-loads if it matches the hardware [18:03] but it didnt [18:03] what should i do ? [18:04] gopal: what "didn't" happen? [18:04] i cant see amdgpu icon [18:04] i want to setup hybrid gfx [18:05] gopal: what does "lspci -nnvk -d:0300" report? [18:05] nothing [18:05] sysrq is disabled, how do i enable it [18:05] gopal: OK, try "lspci -nnv | grep VGA" [18:06] Badegakk: you could try to add the reboot= kernel parameter (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt) or the acpi kernel parameters [18:06] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:1916] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [18:06] Badegakk: what sysrq specifically? it's controlled via sysctl [18:06] gopal: OK, that's the Intel, can you see the AMD with "lspci -nn" ? [18:06] Badegakk: That solution is only if your machine won't shutdown properly and you need it to. If this is something where your shutdown button doesn't work, then you will want to find a different solution. [18:07] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26431977/ [18:08] gopal: ok now show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nnvvk -d ::0380 )" [18:09] I found out how to enable it, il reboot and see it that will work [18:09] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26431984/ [18:09] I wasn't able to stick around a few hours ago.

[18:10] gopal: show us "pastebinit <( lsmod | grep radeon )" [18:10] km player dont work in ubuntu 16 [18:10] properly? [18:11] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432001/ [18:12] gopal: OK, that shows some process or other module is using the 'radeon' driver so you cannot unload it and replace it with amdgpu. [18:13] how to remove it ? [18:13] gopal: I think you'll need to blacklist the radeon driver [18:14] how? [18:15] It didnt work [18:15] gopal: "echo 'blacklist radeon' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-radeon.conf" [18:15] gopal: once you've done that reboot and test [18:16] ok thx [18:18] still cant see amdgpu icon [18:19] hey [18:20] TJ: still cant see amdgpu icon [18:21] gopal_: check which module is in use by the GPU: "lspci -nnvk -d ::380" - look at the "Kernel in use" line [18:21] gopal_: "Driver in use" hehehe [18:21] gopal@gopal-HP-Notebook:~$ lspci -nnvk -d ::380 01:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[18:43] intel-microcode, nvidia-384 [18:43] but in GUI i've not selected either of those [18:43] nukem: to check driver: sudo lshw -C video [18:44] nukem: probably your on nouveau if you didnt install 384 [18:44] anyone know of any older games that will run on a P4 computer and ubuntu? [18:44] czero [18:45] lotuspsychje: yes I am running nouveau, and even booted into nomodeset right now. but i'm trying to figure out, for future (in case GUI is inaccessible) how I can toggle these drivers the same way that is done via the "Additional Drivers" GUI [18:45] cs 1.6 === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [18:45] nukem: well toggle in your case, is installing nvidia-384 or stay on nouveau [18:45] output is : lib/modules/4.13.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko [18:46] lotuspsychje: how about in case of the intel-microcode? right now the GUI has selected "do not use this device" [18:46] gopal_: OK, so that's available early. did you rebuild the initrd.img after copying the amdgpu firmware files into place? If not, do "sudo update-initramfs -u" then try another reboot [18:47] ok trying [18:47] lotuspsychje: is toggling via the GUI essentially the same as installing 'nvidia-384' and 'intel-microcode' via apt-get ? [18:47] nukem: not sure if autoinstall will do the intel one, perhaps try sudo apt install intel-microcode [18:48] nukem: if you get black screen still on nvidia-384, to go back to nouveau: sudo apt purge nvidia* [18:48] nukem: wich ubuntu version are you on by the way? [18:49] 16.04.3 but been having some bizarre issues lately... just did a fresh reinstall but still getting same issues i was having before [18:49] hard to explain [18:49] various hangups during boot [18:49] but hard to narrow down [18:49] nukem: hardware related? [18:50] TJ-: I thought maybe, resulting from some update, but I get the same issues on a VM (on a Windows host) using 17.10.1 [18:50] nukem: has any Linux install ever worked correctly on the hardware? [18:50] when my laptop started i saw something amd like that , but still i cant see amdgpu icon [18:50] TJ-: this one was working fairly well up until routing update last night.. but i think it may all go back to the damn GPU [18:50] nukem: same issues in a VM ? is that using the same installation media? [18:50] TJ-: nope different ISO.. 16.04.3 on this laptop, 17.10.1 on the VM [18:51] TJ-: and using `nomodeset` on the VM still won't get me through to the DE, whereas it does work on my laptop [18:51] gopal: check the driver in use by the hardware again: "lspci -nnk -d::0380 | grep 'driver in use' " [18:51] nukem: can you recall what packages got updated? [18:51] lotuspsychje: systemd, perhaps lvm (which I am using), and some other fairly core ones, iirc [18:52] nukem: seems strange you're seeing issues in a VM too [18:52] TJ-: I did install the Virtualbox guest additions on this VM so maybe that's causing it.. uninstalling now.. just strange that they're both exhibiting similar behavior [18:52] nothing [18:52] no output [18:52] gopal: I'm at a loss then; you've blacklisted the radeon driver but it is still being loaded rather than the amdgpu driver [18:53] gopal: wooa, "no output" ? [18:53] yes [18:53] gopal: did you check sudo lshw -C video behind driver= ? [18:53] gopal: that's not right. show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nnvk -d::380 )" [18:53] lotuspsychje: that's what we're doing [18:53] kk [18:54] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432284/ [18:54] nukem: when you say bizarre issues, what are we talking about? [18:54] lotuspsychje: lspci shows that both radeon and amdgpu are suitable, we've blacklisted radeon, but something is still loading it very early [18:55] lotuspsychje: seemingly network connectivity issues causing boot to hang, and then it pops up saying several messages like INFO: task kworker blocked for more than 120 seconds [18:55] lotuspsychje: both machines have had it [18:55] gopal: OH That's good news in a way, 'radeon' hasn't been loaded :) ... strange though, amdgpu hasn't loaded instead. Try "sudo modprobe amdgpu" [18:56] nukem: your on plasma? [18:56] lotuspsychje: the VM is a 17.10.1 GNOME guest [18:56] kk [18:56] lotuspsychje: the laptop is 16.04.3 unity [18:56] nukem: I saw your imagur photo earlier; it was task systemd:1 being stuck, which is pretty strange [18:56] done [18:56] but no output [18:56] TJ-: yeah I don't think I saw that one again [18:57] gopal: check the driver again: "lspci -nnk -d::0380 | grep 'driver in use' " [18:57] no output [18:57] gopal: so it failed. Let's check the kernel log. "pastebinit <( dmesg | tail -n 150 )" [18:58] TJ-: the VM resolution is so small it's too much a PITA to be able to read logs.. tried uninstalling virtualbox-guest-additions-x11 .. maybe that's the issue [18:58] it's rebooting [18:58] nukem: wich kernel in use? [18:58] lotuspsychje: on laptop i've tried 4.13 and 4.10 [18:58] lotuspsychje: just reinstalled again, but didn't connect to network, to get base 16.04.3 ... using nomodeset seems to boot ok [18:59] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432308/ [18:59] lotuspsychje: so now i'm going to attempt updating again.. that's why i was asking earlier about how to toggle the microcode/GPU driver via CLI... since sometimes x11 fails to start [18:59] nukem: relevant? https://askubuntu.com/questions/965856/kworker-blocked-for-more-than-120-seconds-ubuntu-17-10 [18:59] nukem: this was the photo I looked at earlier https://imgur.com/61yeBqO [18:59] lotuspsychje: was just looking at that actually. using a network cable shouldn't make a diff since the VM isn't simulating wifi [19:00] lotuspsychje: and i tried rebooting w/ network cable plugged in on laptop. didn't do anything [19:01] nukem: did you disable wifi during eth test? [19:01] gopal: there's something wrong with your system I wonder if amdgpu has been blacklisted. I tried loading the module here and I see it reported [19:01] lotuspsychje: as far as i know, i was able to disable it [19:02] lotuspsychje: but the laptop is presently working (with nomodeset) [19:02] lotuspsychje: I think wifi's disabled.. lemme try removing nomodeset and see what happens [19:02] but it works with windows10 [19:02] gopal: let's check "pastebinit <( grep amdgpu /etc/modprobe.d/* )" [19:02] gopal: Windows isn't Linux [19:02] no output [19:02] lotuspsychje: the VM is working now after removing that package... maybe it's just two coincidental video-related issues (on laptop and VM) that appear to exhibit the same symptoms [19:03] gopal: how about "lsmod | grep amdgpu" ? [19:03] lotuspsychje: VM is also in nomodeset right now. i'll try taking it away from both VM and laptop [19:03] nukem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1724317 [19:03] Launchpad bug 1724317 in linux (Ubuntu) "Shutdown hangs / no standby - possible Wifi-bug in the kernel" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:03] gopal@gopal-HP-Notebook:~$ lsmod | grep amdgpu amdgpu 2019328 0 ttm 94208 1 amdgpu i2c_algo_bit 16384 2 amdgpu,i915 drm_kms_helper 167936 2 amdgpu,i915 drm 356352 10 amdgpu,i915,ttm,drm_kms_helper [19:03] nukem: well, nomodeset will break things since that stops the kernel mode-setting code from working [19:04] gopal: so it's loaded but not used by your hardware? :s yet it claims it supports it. I wonder if you have to do the switchover from Intel to AMD to have it grab the GPU [19:05] Anyone here familiar with working with AMDGPU hybrid ? [19:06] can i switch off amd and use intel only to save power ? [19:06] lotuspsychje: saw that.. but that's for a newer kernel than mine, I think, and i've been having this problem without ever using the nvidia driver [19:06] lotuspsychje: ok I removed nomodeset but used LAN cable and laptop boots to tty [19:06] gopal: I don't know; it seems like it isn't being used right now anyhow [19:06] TJ-: what does nomodeset do besides for prohibit the GPU driver from loading? [19:07] nukem: it doesn't always prevent the driver loading, it stops the kernel from changing video modes though [19:07] TJ-: any harm in using it all the time, though? it just affects video, nothing else right? [19:07] but still i'm getting less battery backup and my laptop takes around 120 sec to load desktop [19:07] nukem: sometimes a bad driver doing a modeswitch leaves you with a blank screen [19:08] gopal: well that's something else entirely [19:08] gopal: is it Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial? [19:08] yes [19:09] gopal: did you install xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 ? check with "apt list --installed xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 " [19:10] xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04/xenial-updates,now 1:7.7+16ubuntu3~16.04.1 amd64 [installed] [19:10] gopal: good, so everything recent is installed [19:11] ? [19:11] gopal: You need an AMDGPU expert now; I've checked everything I can think of: driver supports GPU, radeon is blacklisted, amdgpu driver is loaded but isn't managing the GPU [19:11] and how i can find him? [19:12] gopal: let's try one last thing: "sudo modprobe -vr amdgpu && sudo modprobe -v amdgpu" [19:12] rmmod amdgpu rmmod ttm insmod /lib/modules/4.13.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko insmod /lib/modules/4.13.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko [19:12] gopal: that is unloaded and reloading the amdgpu module to see if it'll bind to the GPU [19:13] gopal: check the driver again: "lspci -nnk -d::0380 | grep 'driver in use' " [19:13] nukem: try a few tests, install nvidia driver, try a different kernel? [19:13] lotuspsychje TJ- so while I was installing the nvidia driver from tty, started getting the "INFO: task kworker blocked for more than 120 seconds" message... [19:13] no output [19:13] nukem: yikes [19:13] lotuspsychje: will post a pic [19:13] gopal: OK, so something weird I cannot understand. [19:14] lotuspsychje: this was nukem's photo from earlier: https://imgur.com/61yeBqO [19:14] can you please tell me what should i say to someone ? so he can understand my problem easily [19:16] TJ-: gopal there is #amdgpu on this server [19:16] lotuspsychje TJ- actually I think those kworker messages have popped up at random. happened a bit earlier after trying to turn off bluetooth [19:16] gopal: "GPU supported by amdgpu driver (confirmed by lspci and the modalias). radeon driver blacklisted. Loading amdgpu it does not bind to the GPU." [19:16] 2 pics coming [19:17] hi all [19:17] lotuspsychje TJ- https://imgur.com/oSi8N7H https://imgur.com/FeEmN4p [19:17] SimonNL: thank you! check with the folks in that channel gopal [19:17] do you know where i can found a firefox quantum developer ppa? [19:18] i was tested with umake, but not global menu and icon [19:18] lotuspsychje TJ- this is a fresh install. previous installation was working fine before last night when I ran an update [19:18] udn: we dont support external ppa adding, but you can try #firefox [19:18] whanks [19:18] thanks [19:18] !ppa | udn [19:18] udn: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [19:19] udn: usually we reccomend package versions, meant for the specific ubuntu version [19:19] nukem: is the laptop booting whilst AC is connected and charging? [19:19] TJ-: yeah [19:19] TJ-: and afaict, Wifi is disabled (per that other bug post) and just have LAN cable connected [19:20] nukem: try booting it with AC out :) [19:21] TJ-: well it says reboot is required (since i installed the nvidia driver). gonna try that first [19:21] should i install 17.4? [19:21] gopal: no it's no longer supported [19:21] TJ-: gopal checking on amd.com I don't think the card is compatible with amdgpupro [19:21] gopal: amdgpu is a no-go 17.10 [19:23] thank you [19:23] Anyone else run into a login loop with ubuntu 17.10 running the latest Nvidia drivers (384)? [19:24] Retromingent: there are issues with nvidia and wayland [19:24] Retromingent: have you tested the xorg session? [19:24] Retromingent: I think I had actually, before going back to 16.04.3 === messer440 is now known as Guest61138 [19:24] Retromingent: prob need to boot nomodeset or boot into recovery and replace the drivers [19:25] Iotuspsychje: no I haven't. Just with Wayland. [19:25] Retromingent: can you test plz? [19:25] how can i turn off amd and use intel only? [19:25] Retromingent: nouveau/xorg should work [19:25] gopal: can you "pastebinit /var/log/gpu-manager.log" please [19:26] gopal: you'd disable AMD in the firmware's setup at boot-time [19:26] no folder [19:27] lotuspsychje: thanks [19:27] cant find it [19:27] gopal: Watvhing this - no /var/log/gpu-manager.log present will be a 1st for me .. check again ? [19:28] gopal: how about "which gpu-manager" [19:29] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432557/ [19:32] TJ- lotuspsychje well the laptop works with the nvidia drivers while still running the ISO packages.. running update now.. [19:32] Jan 21 00:24:06 auth: Fatal: Unknown userdb driver 'pam' [19:32] I have an issue with DoveCot. I need it to authenticate Straight Kerberos. [19:32] TJ- lotuspsychje perhaps I had this issue before but wasn't wise enough to delete 'quiet splash' from boot menu so didn't realize that the same thing was going on under the hood.. but ultimately it seems all the problems i've had on this machine so far stem from the nvidia GPU [19:34] What package has mysqld_safe? [19:35] skinux: dpkg -S $(which mysqld_safe) [19:35] SimonNL: did you find anything usefull? === ptetteh227_ is now known as ptetteh227 [19:37] skinux: this is assuming you already have it installed === ashtontheITguy is now known as nolifeboy [19:38] hey ilfamtomas [19:38] which mysqld_safe returns nothing, so dpkg doesn't get enough parameters. [19:38] hi seb [19:39] gopal: would you be prepared to install the latest mainline kernel as a test to see if the very latest code works ? [19:39] skinux: do you know where it is, though? [19:40] how? [19:40] skinux: how did you run into "mysqld_safe" in the first place? [19:41] gopal: I've a script that will install the Ubuntu kernel-team's builds automically. do "wget http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/wget_kernel_mainline.sh" then "chmod +x wget_kernel_mainline.sh" then "./wget_kernel_mainline.sh" [19:41] Well, I was doing "sudo service mysql start", which apparently tries to start mysqld_safe, which somehow isn't installed. [19:41] this site won't let me enter my name :) [19:42] lotuspsychje: don't understand the question. did you think I was having the problem ? [19:42] petttter: this site? [19:42] I was here last night but now I have a new problem [19:42] 'this site' - yeah...or freenode? [19:42] SimonNL: no, you were checking for gopal amdgpu on amd? [19:43] petttter: register or identify problems? [19:43] downloading............. [19:43] my vpn stopped working - the app....and now I found out it will only work on one session [19:43] lotuspsychje, I guess so [19:43] Ah okay. As I said I don't think his card is on the capability list === messer440 is now known as Guest75045 [19:43] lotuspsychje: ^ [19:44] how do i register? [19:44] !register | petttter [19:44] petttter: For information on registering your IRC nick, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - For any further help, ask in #freenode. [19:44] I am hoping someone can inform me about the ubuntu sessions in ubuntu 17.10 [19:44] because, they don't make sense to me [19:44] petttter: ask your question [19:45] /msg nickserv help register petttter [19:45] okay [19:46] my vpn application will only work with 'ubuntu xorg' [19:46] i have these choices for login session: ubuntu xorg, gnome xorg, gnome classic and [19:46] I am on Kubuntu 16.04.3 Kernel 4.13.x, and my wifi is working but signal is low, what can I do? [19:47] cinnamon (software rendering), cinnamon - I installed the cinnamon desktop environ. so I have those latter two now? [19:47] where is ubuntu w/ wayland? I am confused [19:47] TJ-: I'm back, and the systemctl restart gdm3 seems to have worked. Thank you for your help! [19:47] anyway, my vpn app will only work in ubuntu xorg :-/ [19:48] Now, to go find an IRC client that doesn't freeze up on me.... [19:48] !info hexchat | Warren_ [19:48] Warren_: hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.12.4-5build2 (artful), package size 336 kB, installed size 1009 kB [19:49] I'm using hexchat... I like it so far [19:49] HexChat is the one freezing up on me [19:49] oh sorry... I haven't had a freeze up yet [19:49] what computer do you have? are you sure it's hexchat at fault? [19:50] Warren_: glad we got person sorted out :) [19:50] downloading............. [19:50] I'm not sure that it's actually hexchat's fault [19:50] TJ-: me too! [19:50] did anyone understand my session options? is it the same for everyone? [19:50] petttter: graphics card chipset? [19:50] isn't there supposed to be a wayland server option? [19:51] nvidia gtx 750 [19:51] petttter: by default ubuntu 17.10 is using wayland by default, unless you have nvidia [19:51] Actually, the login loop and the hexchat freezing started about the same time... I wonder if THOSE are related... [19:52] but, when I log in, I have to choose one of the selections - none indicate using wayland? [19:52] petttter: thats why you dont have the ubuntu(wayland) in your list [19:52] but I have a Lenovo ThinkPad E531 running 17.10 [19:52] huh? [19:52] lotuspsychje, that makes no sense [19:52] wayland is the default but you can't use it? [19:53] petttter: not on nvidia, [19:53] petttter: xorg/nouveau should work [19:53] not on nvidia? [19:53] I upgraded the graphics driver - enabled the ppa for that.... [19:54] the current driver is nvidia but the higher versions indicate 'open source' which is weird [19:54] would those driver versions allow use of wayland? [19:54] petttter: if you using and nvidia- driver wayland is a no-go [19:54] I'm talking about ver. 387 and 390 [19:54] petttter: do you have openvpn? i think it requires root access and you need one xhost command before running it [19:54] akik, I think so but I am using the vpn's application software [19:55] I can connect using openvpn but I would have to enter the password every time manually [19:55] with an encrypted home directory, how can i fix my path for ~/bin/ [19:55] what does encryption have to do with your path [19:55] lotuspsychje, do you know what I'm talking about? :) [19:56] once i mount my encrypted home directory, ikonia , it doesnt recognize my private bin dir [19:56] i need to run that path command after mounting, not before [19:56] that sounds familiar that it doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia driver - is that what you're saying? [19:56] petttter: correct [19:56] I don't know if I should install a newer driver version though....:) [19:56] tJ-: Error: exit with code 1 [19:57] hotbobby: what do you mean doesn't recognise it [19:57] lotuspsychje, thanks.... have you heard anything about using version 387? [19:57] TJ- : Error: exit with code 1 [19:57] the path won't differ unless you tell it to be different [19:57] and why do you need to mount your home directory, it should auto mount [19:57] lotuspsychje, I thought it was weird that it indicated that it was opensource.... in the drivers section of the software updates app [19:58] ikonia: i ssh into a user with an encrypted home dir. i mount my home dir. in this state i cannot access programs in my private bin folder without typing ~/bin/appname [19:58] sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com how yo solve it ? [19:58] hotbobby: why do you need to mount your home directory [19:58] hotbobby: it should already be mounted [19:58] ikonia: because it is encrypted [19:58] hotbobby: right, and it should decrypt at boot [19:59] hello [19:59] TJ ? [19:59] ikonia: it doesnt decrypt automatically when no local users are logged in, and someone logs in over ssh [19:59] hotbobby: then how do you expect it to parse the bashrc in your home directory [19:59] this is a fault of your design [20:00] he [20:00] he [20:00] anyone? [20:00] ikonia: default ubuntu 16.04.3 setup. all i did was make a user and add my key [20:00] goyal: anyone what ? [20:00] hotbobby: right, you're using it incorrectly for your needs [20:01] hotbobby: if that is your need, then you've selected a bad encyrption method [20:01] what it is for? [20:01] goyal: what is what for ? [20:01] this platform? [20:01] gopal: hang on, checking [20:01] ikonia: can you point me toward a better method for encrypted home directories for remote users [20:01] anyway, why doesn't my vpn app work with gnome/xorg session? [20:01] how come it doesn't work at all? [20:01] ok [20:02] hotbobby: don't use encrypted home devices that require a manual decrypt [20:02] and what's the difference between ubuntu/xorg and gnome/xorg? [20:02] <_jd> Hi All, I need to install celery 4 (Python celery) in Ubuntu. I know I can do this using pip, but I was wondering if I can somehow achieve this through package manager? [20:02] hotbobby: use FDE and let the disk decrypt at boot [20:02] gopal: I think it reported to you "ERROR: failed to verify the CHECKSUM signature" is that correct? [20:02] yes [20:02] ikonia: it's so obvious.... thank you [20:02] no problem [20:03] gopal: ok, you just need to install the kernel-team's certificate: "sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com 17C622B0" [20:03] heu [20:03] fasf [20:03] gopal: then re-run the script "./wget_kernel_mainline.sh" and it'll install the downloaded files [20:04] can anyone tell me how to ufw allow anything from 10.0.0.0/24? [20:04] Purged and reinstalled HexChat, still freezing up when I enter a specific room. Wondering if they're running a bot that's messing up something?

That's the out-of-tree kernel driver you've got for the Broadcom Wifi not building for the latest kernel! hang on again...!

[20:19] anybody wanna talk [20:19] everyone is keeping their privacy :p [20:19] Ok, asked people in the particular chatroom (via web based client), and it turns out they've been seeing this problem since Jan 1st, off and on. Some of them suspect ISP shenanigans, but a single IRC chatroom seems like small beans for ISP control freaks. [20:19] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libserf-1.so.1 is looking for symbols at link time that are defined in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.a instead of libssl.so [20:19] I gave up mine long ago [20:20] petttter: what symptom(s) are you wanting to address at the present time? [20:20] hutiyo [20:20] still cant see amd icon [20:21] gopal_: I'm not too bothered about icons, all we want for now is the amdgpu driver! [20:21] gopal_: check "lspci -nnvk -d ::380 | grep 'driver in use' " [20:21] leave [20:22] TJ-, what is an 'amd icon' ? [20:22] ioria: I presume some hybrid AMD/Intel switcher in GUI [20:22] no output [20:22] TJ-, oh, thanx [20:22] petttter: this maybe? Jan 21 12:44:49 pjpnet gnome-session-binary[912]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop [20:23] gopal_: So the amdgpu driver still failed to bind; I'm beginning to think that the PC has the AMD GPU disabled in the PC firmware's setup - reboot and enter firmware setup, and check it's either 'enabled' or 'auto' [20:23] petttter: I haven't been trained to read minds or be a psychic, but if you tell me.. [20:24] no setting in bios [20:24] gopal_: really? [20:24] yes [20:24] and my wifi is also not working [20:25] petttter: and what's with the latency in your communication(s)? i observed that latency last night also [20:26] tatertots, latency? [20:26] TJ-: gopal_ What AMD card is this - does it support amdgpu ? Maybe need the radeon driver ?? [20:26] tatertots: what symptoms? the vpn application doesn't work when I log in using gnome xorg session [20:26] gopal_, yeah, what's your card and kernel ? [20:26] amd r5 m430 [20:27] petttter: i understand [20:27] my other question was, what is the difference of ubuntu xorg and gnome xorg sessions? [20:27] gopal_: If you were using the amdgpu-pro driver I've read /it/ need a command-line switch when in a hybrid system to enable it. I'm wondering if the same is required for the amdgpu driver. Le me check [20:27] and i upgraded my kernel [20:27] I don't understand why it would not work at all in one session vs the other one [20:27] ioria: we're on 4.15-rc8 right now, see https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432284/ [20:27] petttter: we would need to look into what happened, is that okay with you? [20:27] tatertots: I understand that there is a lot of 'failures' in those logs... I don't know what that means, though [20:27] hey [20:28] ioria: latest linux-firmware from mainline installed earlier with the original 4.13 ubuntu hwe kernel [20:28] ok [20:28] tatertots, okay? [20:28] petttter: sudo apt install sosreport [20:28] petttter: let me know when done [20:29] gopal_, TJ- and what was the problem with radeon ? (instead of amdgpu) [20:29] i cant switch gfx [20:29] and very less battery backup [20:30] + it takes a lot of time to start [20:30] I need assistance authenticating DoveCot against a Samba 4 AD on Ubuntu 16.04. [20:30] tatertots: it's done [20:30] ioria: hybrid wouldn't switch, amdgpu claims to support the GPU via modalias (confirmed by lspci), amdgpu loads but doesn't bind. gpu-manager: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26432557/ [20:30] gopal_, i see ... with DRI_PRIME you mean ? [20:30] and after upgrading kernel , wifi is also not working [20:30] ? [20:31] gopal_, that is a 'new' kernel .... let me guess, broadcom ? [20:31] yes [20:31] gopal_: broken wifi we know about, the bcmwl module failed to build - remember? [20:31] petttter: sudo sosreport [20:32] petttter: use your chat screen name [20:32] yes [20:32] petttter: press enter for all other questions until it begins [20:32] gopal_, you can always boot on the previous kernel ... [20:32] petttter: let me know when done [20:33] gopal_, from grub i mean ... [20:33] gopal_: as the 4.15-rc8 kernel didn't solve the GPU issues let's remove it so you can reboot into the 4.13 kernel. "sudo apt remove linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc8-generic" [20:33] ok how ? need to do it now ? [20:33] gopal_: don't reboot yet, do the command above ^^^ [20:34] done [20:34] gopal_: then reboot and you'll have working wifi with the Ubuntu 4.13 kernel again [20:34] idk if relevant https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1727877 [20:34] Launchpad bug 1727877 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "AMD Radeon 520 graphics card not detected in wayland session when using AMD/Intel hybrid laptop" [Low,Triaged] [20:34] Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done The link /vmlinuz is a damaged link Removing symbolic link vmlinuz you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] The link /initrd.img is a damaged link Removing symbolic link initrd.img you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] [20:34] !cookie ioria [20:35] ioria: nice find!!! we didn't find that earlier [20:35] reboot?

[20:48] skinux, it's in msql-server-x.x afaik [20:49] gopal: in summary, it seems like the 'radeon' driver is OK /but/ the GUI session doesn't detect hybrid GPUs which is why your "AMD icon" isn't shown.

I have installed shellinabox on my Ubuntu Server 17.10 (64 bit) by "apt install shellinabox", but I have some problems with it when I put "--service=/:SSH" as argument. It gave me 2 lines "unsupported option", one with "rhostsrsaauthentication" and another with "rsaauthentication". The fix is the removing of two flags and recompile, but I installed it via "apt".

[21:35] pavlos, thank you, but is this the only way to remove those flags and make it work? [21:35] stan7: the default apache install has one already [21:35] i already went into the directory with the command ls -a but it stills appear [21:35] lordl: why do you need the flags, apt install brought all files [21:35] its empty [21:36] Ben64, i didnt understand you sorry, the server is on godaddy [21:36] pavlos, I need to remove two flags from a C file.

[23:11] i think I am [23:11] azizLIGHT: you could use dd command or some GUI tool [23:11] @bashing-om @memphisto_ https://pastebin.com/Z0JkG3rP [23:12] oh darn haven't used irc in a while [23:12] is this ok memphisto_ dd if=Downloads/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdc [23:12] azizLIGHT: be carefull [23:12] lsblk [23:12] assuming sdc is my flash drlive [23:12] to check if sdc is your usb [23:12] i will check in lsblk yes [23:12] dirby: can you give me lsmod [23:12] but is everyting else ok? do i need any extra options [23:13] not needed, you'll be fine [23:13] dirby: Well, no driver loaded. let me see what driver that "should" be . [23:14] dirby: there was a fuss with ubuntu 16 and amd [23:14] don't know if its solved [23:14] but i guess you might need to install propriatery drivers [23:14] some kind person on this irc told me to downgrade to Wiley, that's 15.10 [23:14] Bashing-om: you know some archive mirrors? [23:14] and it's now reached it's end of life [23:14] There are errors here I don't even understand. https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/dfab81bbf1183339fcc7e881c156fd2b [23:16] memphisto: https://pastebin.com/T5JFP2Ac here's the lsmod if you'd like [23:16] dirby: this is the list for your card and supported OS http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064&rev=15.9 [23:17] thanks so much for your help so far [23:17] memphisto_ [23:17] bashing-om [23:18] now im waiting for dd [23:18] skinux, try to run, journalctl -xe, to get more of the error details would be good to see what happens before it is shutting down there maybe some details to help track down what failed exactly [23:19] azizLIGHT, just heads up for the future you can add status=progress to the dd command in newer versions of it to have it show you the progress in GB [23:20] dirby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [23:20] wafflejock: im on 14.04 atm so i dont have this option unfortunately [23:20] ah [23:20] i am awre of it though :) [23:21] dirby: Having some difficulty matching richland to a driver . [23:21] :( I may have to downgrade to 12.04 lts. Is it very good? [23:21] Bashing-om [23:22] wafflejock memphisto_ bashing-om you all are great, thanks for doing what you do [23:23] haven't been here in a while but the other people are here always helping appreciate it though [23:24] wafflejock: Here is the full output https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/dfab81bbf1183339fcc7e881c156fd2b [23:25] dirby: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:25] just to see what its complaing [23:26] what problems are you facing with your card [23:27] dirby: 12.04 is EOL ,, not am option . [23:27] oh nooooo :( [23:27] 14.04 then :) [23:27] skinux: junior LAMP admin in training? [23:28] okay :) [23:28] thanks again guys I really appreciate it! I'm not drunk btw, just really happy for the help! [23:29] dirby: before you go, can you try installing radeon driver [23:29] skinux: is possible example.com was just used in the "tutorial" you were following as an ...well example [23:30] but i could be wrong.. [23:30] skinux, are you attempting to reinstall mysql? [23:30] I'm trying to make an SSH key with seahorse and it's asking me for the SSH server address === prodigel is now known as dropigel [23:31] believe this is the relevant error really [ERROR] Can't read from messagefile '/usr/share/mysql/englis not sure about the example.com smtp problems might just be trying to email you an error [23:31] binarydepth: did you select "Create and set up" when generating the key? [23:31] wafflejock: I'm trying to get mysql to WORK! [23:31] I was trying to install MariaDB since it's supposed to be installed and isn't. [23:31] jrabe Yes [23:32] binarydepth: seahorse asks whether you want to only generate a key or generate it and add it as an authorized key to a remote server. It's asking for the server address because you selected the latter option. [23:32] Ok [23:33] binarydepth: so either enter the address, or cancel if that's not what you want (you can still keep your key if you cancel the setup) [23:33] Well, that file exists, so I don't understand. [23:34] skinux, googling the issue it seems related to people trying to install with an existing install in place are you okay with removing any existing mysql/mariadb you have installed? if so you can just purge then install again it seems like... possibly something with file permissions when reinstalling honestly not sure [23:35] skinux: are you chatting from the computer right now? yes or no [23:35] Thanks jrabe [23:35] binarydepth: sure! [23:35] skinux, can see results here https://goo.gl/vks6VL but some are 12.04 some are 14.04 not seeing anything in the newer ubuntu versions but if you use apt-get to purge a package it also removes related configuration/data typically so if you want to just start clean can try that (be sure there's nothing in the DB you need though) [23:50] dirby: we want the radeon driver installed . [23:57] dirby: show ' cat /proc/cmdline ' see what we have booting .
