[00:00] ideally youve got vt-d too [00:00] Budgii, it's actually more or less hardware acceleration for vms you definitely need it [00:00] vt-d is the money :P [00:00] ugh.. [00:00] So basically i need to get into bios settings and look for a vt-** setting? [00:00] set it to X? [00:01] vt-x enabled [00:01] Budgii, enable it [00:01] vt-d sucks on vb [00:01] its only good on xen/kvm [00:01] Will do. Be back soon. :) [00:01] i want to vt-d a geforce 5200 pci into a win98 vm [00:02] and an sblive [00:02] rangemonger, sb live gold [00:03] best spu ever [00:03] Enabled [00:03] well, audigy 2 zs is everything and more, i suppose [00:03] BINGO! [00:03] thanks.. :D [00:03] word [00:03] xfi is still great but you cant play 1 effect into another [00:04] everything after that is pretty generic due to the lack of an emu chip [00:04] cept for audigy rx [00:04] rangemonger, pci sound cards are dead. noone is buying them anymore [00:04] that has one, its basically an audigy 2 zs for pcie [00:04] Okay, it's asking if I want VDI, VHD or VMDK [00:04] Which is recommend? [00:04] i know but for sb cards, it really was worth it at the time [00:05] rangemonger, definitely [00:05] they do things that software doesnt do as well, to this day [00:05] ms killing directsound 3d was a terrible, terrible move [00:05] it basically destroyed 3d audio [00:06] when was the sblive card released [00:06] 95ish i think [00:07] eax2 was revolutionary [00:07] everything since has been incremental [00:07] 8-9 minutes left on the 4 gig win10 iso. love fast internet. just started it. [00:07] win10 :( [00:07] I don't love it either but it's free [00:08] Budgii, rangemonger lets get back to topical ubuntu support please [00:08] right, sorry [00:08] yeah no problem bazhang, thanks for patience [00:12] I'm trying to install Kubuntu to a physical disk in VirtualBox, but I can't figure out how to get it to not want to install grub (which I can't do) [00:13] you can with the text based install [00:13] atleast on the minimal iso [00:13] how do I access that? [00:14] what version of kubuntu is this nejni-marji [00:14] 17.10 [00:25] I'm having trouble verifying my email for ubuntu one [00:25] getting a 404 on the verification link [00:26] i think ubuntu 1 is dead [00:26] they gave up on it [00:26] then how am I supposed to login to launchpad [00:26] wtf [00:27] i dunno much about that, im just fairly sure they stopped the u1 service [00:27] is there a shortcut to resize window so that it takes up bottom right of screen? [00:28] nowayy: what desktop? kde? [00:28] gnome? [00:28] gnome [00:28] crap i cant remember [00:29] hello [00:29] hi [00:30] I am takumi [00:30] oh nice, a recent update might have finally fixed the ubuntu store for installing debs [00:30] *gnome store [00:30] whatever its called [00:37] is there a way to partition my screen to better utilize realestate. So for example, I can partition terminal with tmux. Is there a similiar utility but for entire screen. That way I can move windows around and snap them to their partition. [00:37] does anyone else have it where trying to run gedbi with a deb file never prompts for a password on 17.10? [00:37] Ubuntu gnome [00:37] the newest gnome did something cool like that but i havent tried yet [00:37] kde has auto tiling [00:37] with a script [00:38] ooh I need to find it [00:38] kde used to have it built in [00:38] but now it needs a script [00:38] not a big deal [00:39] I've only used gnome [00:39] kde is by far the most customizable desktop [00:39] even vs windows [00:40] is it easy to change desktop while keeping file structure intact? [00:40] hierarchy* [00:41] yeah but it can get a bit messy if you install the whole kde meta package [00:41] youll have so many apps [00:41] ie, a text editor from gnome and one from kde === eschwartz is now known as anyone [00:45] http://windowsiso.net/windows-7-iso/windows-7-download/ultimate-iso-7/ [00:45] legit isos [00:45] if the torrents work [00:45] oops, wrong window, thats gonna be trouble for me [00:46] i saw nothing [00:48] yeah, and a whois on that domain clearly shows it is not legit [00:54] We're moving ... I had to move my home-office temporarily to a place with no ethernet. I have a windows machine and an ubuntu machine. I was able to get a wifi dongle to get interwebz to the winblows machine. But no luck so far on the ubuntu device. I plugged in two different USB WIFI dongles and neither of them showed up on `lspci` -- so I'm currently trying to just use a switch to get the two machines talking, and maybe I can figure out how to share in [00:54] Is that a workable plan? [00:59] rangemonger [01:01] he is cookin on the range :-) [01:01] how do I get vbox out of full screen mode? [01:01] lol [01:01] kill it. [01:01] no [01:02] there's a hotkey, one sec [01:02] well, that would work. :P [01:02] I cant even get out of it [01:02] Budgii: host+F [01:03] host? [01:03] ecormier is that the winkey? [01:03] probably right ctrl [01:03] not sure if I changed that or if it's default [01:03] doesnt do anything [01:03] idea.. what's the kill command for vbox [01:04] host+q [01:04] Im stuck in it [01:05] ooo there is a hidden panel at the bottom, got it! [01:05] does the free version only do a small square? [01:05] alt+ctrl+f1 will take you to tty, then login and killall VBox [01:05] that's easier [01:05] quick google revealed host as right ctrl so rt ctrl + f lol [01:05] that's what I said [01:06] ecormier: yeah lol [01:07] and then I gave the brute force version of getting rid of it lol [01:07] are settings not available in this sucker [01:07] lol [01:07] win10 on vbox is junk [01:08] settings should be there.... [01:09] my computer crashed and now I dont have sound on my speakers. Headphones are all right though [01:09] I should clarify the computer display settings [01:09] I'm in win10 without a key ha [01:09] says i have to install that setting. xD [01:10] clicks aren't reliable either [01:12] Budgii: always worked fine for me [01:13] just need to install the additions [01:13] ill try win update. the thing is so slow [01:13] not going to even mess with it [01:13] :p [01:13] fun adventure. [01:13] function keys to mute dont work [01:13] help appreciated [01:14] frad, open a terminal and run alsamixer [01:14] ecormier, already did, and if I unplug the headphones, the bar showing the speakers' volume appears as 100% volume, but thereis no volume [01:15] alsamixer recognizes automatically when I plug in the headphones, or off, but no sound [01:15] when you press F5, and then F6 and select the first non 'default' option ... [01:16] frad: and the speaker is not muted? [01:16] no ecormier , not muted [01:18] I'd go for a shutdown to completely off, count to ten, and then boot up... could be just a glitch with the hardware not shutting down correctly on a soft reboot [01:18] but that's a guess [01:18] s/soft reboot/crash/ [01:19] ecormier, so, no rebooting after a crash, or installation of a new kernel, but directly shutting down? [01:19] ok [01:19] completely powering off the hardware [01:19] thanks, [01:19] will do asaic [01:19] don't thank me yet [01:19] ... [01:20] :) [01:20] if it works, then thank me [01:20] ok, you want me to do it now, to see if it works [01:20] but im gonna have to save some files [01:20] yep [01:21] see you in about 5 to 10 minutes [01:21] I've seen some soundcard quirks from time to time :) [01:21] bb in 5 /10 [01:21] yep [01:29] howdy, how do I know if my kernel is patched for Meltdown? [01:31] ecormier, I thank thee... [01:31] :) usually easier than fighting with it for 20 more minutes, yw [01:32] guzzlefry: dmesg | grep iso [01:34] ecormier: Assuming this is a yes? Kernel/User page tables isolation: enabled [01:34] yep, you're good [01:34] as good as possible right now [01:34] well... exactly [01:35] but better than not [01:35] thank you [01:35] yw === precise is now known as precise|tinfoil [02:00] nejni-marji: https://askubuntu.com/questions/838450/how-can-ubiquity-be-forced-not-to-install-grub , though I'm curious why you can't have Ubuntu install grub. [02:02] maybe you already have grub from another distro and don't want ubuntu maintaining grub... [02:02] I'm still having trouble with encrypted disks and lvm. [02:03] Jordan_U: oh, I may have misunderstood your post... sorry [02:03] I'm installing to a VM, but the VM is using my physical /dev/sda, and when it tried to install grub it failed and crashed [02:03] that's why [02:03] ecormier: No problem :) [02:04] tomreyn: I reinstalled with full disk encryption on the main drive, and then tried adding an encrypted /home with lvm following these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS4 [02:04] so if i get it to skip grub, it should install fine and I should be able to rerun grub-mkconfig to detect the new OS, thereby installing a dualbooted distro without having extended downtime while everything sets up [02:04] ecormier: Is the VM being given access to the whole drive or only one partition? [02:04] wrong :) [02:04] the entire drive [02:04] I couldn't figure out how to give it just /dev/mapper/SSD-Kubuntu [02:04] ecormier: :) [02:05] I think sometime a while ago i tried something where i started a process to upgrade from 16.04 to 17 , how can i stop this process, because everytime i try to do an update it tries to do the system upgrade [02:06] It all worked until I rebooted, and /home disappeared. It drops into single user mode and it looks like the lvm for sda1 is not there. [02:06] nejni-marji: Then stop now and consider fixing that. Having two kernels try to mount the same filesystem could lead to corruption and data loss, and it sounds like you may sometimes be booted from a partition on the disk while also booting another partition on the same disk in the VM. [02:06] That's true [02:07] I figured as long as I don't deliberately mount an already mounted partition nothing should break, but it could happen by accident, and that would be ungood [02:08] nejni-marji: Indeed. It's possible that what failed wasn't actually the grub-install, but the grub-mkconfig which searches for other OSs by mounting all filesystems it can find... (though read only, which greatly reduces but doesn't eliminate the risk). [02:09] Oh! I think I fixed it. [02:09] I got virtualbox to accept just the one partition [02:10] so that's safer [02:10] nejni-marji: (If os-prober uses grub-mount then there really is no risk, but having the fileystem change while mounted could have caused grub-mount / os-prober / grub-mkconfig to crash / error. [02:11] oh, that's true [02:11] unfortunately, I'm not sure how to stop every process on my computer from interacting with the filesystem [02:11] For the logs, I had the wrong UUID in /etc/crypttab. I needed the UUID of the /dev/sda1 partition and not the sda1_crypt pv. [02:12] nejni-marji: then common sense is don't even toy with that option.... that is a dangerous game [02:12] yeah [02:12] which is giving VirtualBox only the one LVM volume is better [02:12] nejni-marji: I'm pretty sure that Virtualbox has an option for only presenting a single partition (while giving fake access to the rest of the disk / mbr). [02:13] hmm, that would probably be a good idea for the future, if I ever needed it [02:19] grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda [02:19] whoops [02:19] I don't even remember how I installed grub [02:20] Got it [02:21] I am trying to boot an instance of ubuntu 16.04 copied* onto a hard from a previous bootable installation of ubuntu 14.04. The ubuntu 16.04 files are exact on the drive using rsync to mirror from an image, however, when booting up the updated filesystem environment (/boot/efi/* also are updated), I am put into a grub shell right away. Do I need to rewrite grub to the boot partition or update the boot code and partition tables on the [02:21] disk? They should be the exact same across all disks that I am working with, I think. [02:22] I have a question about the scope of env variables. I want to set a variable for a Django project running in a python virtualenv. I just noticed that by putting EXPORT VAR1=VALUE1 in postactivate that this variable is set to all future shell instances. This wasn't my goal [02:29] anyone with an intel gpu know if it's possible to switch back to the intel x.org driver instead of modesetting? [02:32] so I booted into the Kubuntu installation and got these errors and the builtin shell https://i.imgur.com/cTRogy7.jpg [02:33] There's no good reason I have to be doing this but I've gotten this far [02:34] Belial`: No, it's not. User modesetting has been deprecated for years, and for good reason. You could switch to VESA with no accelleration if you're desparate. What problem are you having wih the intel driver? [02:35] someone told me they think it's because the distro is looking for VM hardware but I gave it real hardware [02:36] Jordan_U, isn't the modesetting driver the new one? i want to use the intel driver with sna accel. [02:36] which performs a lot better in 2d according to benchmarks. [02:36] nejni-marji: you installed it via vbox and now you're booting in natively? [02:36] ecormier: yes. [02:37] that sounds prone to failure [02:37] yeah [02:37] but I'm trying to make it work because why not [02:37] so hardware details from the vm differ to the bare metal and it's tripping up the boot [02:38] just install from a usb and be done with the pain and tears [02:38] nejni-marji: Do you now have a partition which is being treated as a whole drive, i.e. you have a partition table within a partition? [02:38] Jordan_U: I think so? [02:38] When I set it up, it only knew about /dev/mapper/SSD-Kubuntu, and it called it /dev/sda inside the VM [02:40] nejni-marji: Well, clearly grub can figure out such oddities but the rest of Ubuntu gets a little confused by that. Note that if you run "cat /proc/partitions" the partitions within your partition won't be listed. [02:41] 20:12 nejni-marji: I'm pretty sure that Virtualbox has an option for only presenting a single partition (while giving fake access to the rest of the disk / mbr). [02:41] Do you think that would help any? [02:41] nejni-marji: Yes. [02:42] Do you know what the option is called or where to look for it? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:52] well, it's not doable, because the vbox command involved doesn't work with LVM volumes [02:52] if I had a physical partition, it would probably be just fine === Ricardus_ is now known as Ricardus [03:13] in need of tech support - when i boot my PC & laptop they both have the same problem - i get screen lit for 1 second and then screen is dark - although it seems the soft and hardware work ... how do i make my screen stay illuminated?

I want read a few books about ubuntu [04:27] Neo4: also you can use 'you' for thou (or thee). [04:27] or linux [04:27] Neo4: vi has not changed a lot in the last, say, 30 years [04:28] hggdh: why? I see in book 'Caltic tales there use' thou, thee, thy, tis, I want to use it as well :) [04:28] Neo4: this is mostly archaic for English [04:29] hggdh: ok, and I've got as well two books 'postfix 2008 years' 'and Dovecot' also old, Do you think it also worse read?

can anyone tell what's wrong with sound on ubuntu 16.04? skype and mplayer aren't functioning properly anymore! youtube(s) you can not play a second video while pausing a previous one! [06:04]

I've googled it and someone suggested removing and reinstalling pulseaudio which made things even worse. [06:05] !sound | Li [06:05] Li: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[06:08] libinput-gestures -d shows the gestures being detected [06:09] you have any recommended hardware setup that I can try and run? [06:09] if i add nomodeset in grub then I can get it to boot and see.. [06:10] this isnt the cool open source answer but... https://www.passmark.com/support/burnintest/bit_create_selfboot.htm [06:11] oh yeah, that reminds me, how many vid ports are on your videocard? [06:11] This is a mining rig. I have 6 gpu's on it [06:11] i once was stumped for a long time until i found out linux didnt auto detect which port had a mon on it [06:11] Ah bummer! I ran `update-grub` as root from a chrooted environment for Ubuntu 16.04 to try to fix GRUB boot loader to boot ubuntu, but it is still showing the GRUB prompt when I boot from disk [06:12] it didnt do clone mode by default [06:12] Everything is brand new.

lotuspsychje: Being said it plays youtube and have skype calls (with bad quality) then it's recognized and driver loaded [06:15]

I've went through your link of DmixPlugin but it's not fixing it [06:15] man this makes no sense, if i set gdebi to run with terminal, it works fine [06:15]

still not playing video and sounds on mplayer [06:15] Li: did it play before? [06:18]

lotuspsychje: before and now BUT bad quality on skype and mplayer stopped playing files [06:18]

youtube I can not open two videos at the same time [06:20] lotuspsychje, Thanks, got it to boot ubuntu, but now it's stuck at ubuntu splash screen :( [06:21] I stepped away for few minutes, came back, still splash screen [06:21] booting from pcie ssd, so it should be quick [06:22] esc, alt+F7 shows [FAILED] Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems. x_X [06:22] fx250: theres a way to see the verbose output from there, f12 maybe? [06:24] why :ZZ doesn't work? instead I use :normal ZZ? [06:24] who does thou know? [06:26] rangemonger: can you get terminal? ctrl+lt+f1 ? alt+f7 to return to gui. [06:27] alt+f7 [06:27] blue1: any way to feed that key combo to virtualbox? [06:28] blue1: would appear to be hostkey+f1 [06:28] but thats not the same tty [06:28] rangemonger: ahh I don't know -- I have not used vbox in years. [06:28] f1 is another one awaiting login [06:29] fx250: does press F1 show anything usefull as textboot? [06:29] rangemonger: is the system Linux based (vbox)? [06:29] blue1: well i got it but f1 is tty1, not the verbose output of tty7 [06:30] blue1: vbox/xubuntu is hosted on win7 [06:30] btw, this problems only on 17.10 [06:30] it was fine for many ubuntus before this one [06:31] rangemonger: Ahh darn. I was going to suggest a linux container - but you need native linux for that. How about a dual boot option? [06:31] also, this is a fresh install, with nothing but updates packages [06:31] well i am planning to install get things going natively once i get this fixed [06:31] rangemonger: I have 1 computer that runs win 10. [06:31] rangemonger: sorry I can't help [06:32] its all good, thanks for trying [06:32] rangemonger: welcome [06:32] im guessing 18.04 will fix it [06:32] ive noticed a bunch of little things off on 17.10 [06:33] mostly centered around how it handles elevation [06:33] for now i guess ill just stick to dpkg or launch gdebi with the terminal enabled [06:33] rangemonger: I am running 16.04 here. [06:34] thats what i get for wanting the latest/greatest [06:34] i am a little bit scared of the shift to wayland. It's a step forward - but for canonical, it may be buggy. [06:34] i noticed that synaptic didnt launch in wayland [06:35] 18.04 is defaulting back to xorg [06:35] and I use xubuntu not gnome 3. It is too keyboard centric -- and I have a repetitive stress injury [06:35] i mostly use xubuntu too [06:35] uh oh [06:36] i wonder if 17.04 works fine on cherry trail socs [06:36] dunno it is worth a try I suppose [06:36] im using a compute stick as server [06:36] rangemonger, blue1 keep it ubuntu related plz [06:36] feel free to use #ubuntu-discuss [06:36] lotuspsychje: thanks for the reminder - [06:36] lotuspsychje: not even xubuntu? [06:36] rangemonger: private message ok? [06:36]

thanks lotuspsychje [06:37] Li: got it solved? [06:44] if i log in via ssh. How can I kill lightdm for the desktop [06:56] hi all [06:56] Ubuntu command line prompt is longer when we navigate deeper down the nested folders or directories. [06:58] But CentOS or Redhat based does not have such kind of annoying longer path before $ [06:58] how can we fix it or keep it simple [06:58] ? [06:58] linocisco: Edit your bashrc the way you see fit [06:58] hateball, any how to or visual guide? [06:58] linocisco: What happens on other systems instead? Can you show an example? [07:00] vlt, on RedHat based system with longer path, these are shortened and only the last directory is shown before $ [07:00] vlt, But I have no Redhat or CentoS currently to show. [07:00] hateball, it is complicated file content inside.How do I find ? [07:07] linocisco: it's the PS1 variable, if you dont want the pwd displayed, remove \w from it [07:08] be careful so you don't mess up .bashrc, that can give you headache... [07:09] https://pastebin.com/raw/LcmkEzUf Why does this rsync command miss updating files that clearly have different times on source and destination? e.g. source /bin/bash is -rwxr-xr-x+ 1 root root 1037528 May 16 2017 /bin/bash and dest /bin/bash is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 858384 Oct 29 19:19 /bin/bash [07:09] linocisco: I guess you can use \W instead of \w to not show full path [07:12] hateball, thanks .

[08:34] pinPoint: You have an older libpcre3-dev probably. [08:35] Borw3: and to fix that problem? [08:35] pinPoint: Remove the old version, install that new one, and probably it will work, but watch out, maybe some packages depending on old version will stop working or get removed in the process [08:37] Borw3: :( [08:37] This is because of an upgrade fro 14.04 to 16.04... [08:37] from* [08:37] pinPoint: Did you try updating your system lately? [08:38] Borw3: right now it says computer is up to date. [08:39] pinPoint: LOL.... probably do some research on what depends on libpcre3-dev and see if it's anything of meaning, if not, remove old version and install the new one..
