tfgbd_Oh, okay.00:11
tfgbd_Is that one of the dual book Android ones?00:11
tfgbd_Or is this a Linux only model?00:11
tfgbd_Didn't know they made linux ones.00:11
tfgbd_Any idea why I'm getting a black screen with just a mouse cursor?00:23
tfgbd_Not enough ram?00:23
tfgbd_Screen rotation seems to sorta work.00:24
tfgbd_Nevermind it just showed the desktop.00:24
tfgbd_any idea how to right click with a touch screen?00:25
tfgbd_Wow!  Wifi even works!00:26
tfgbd_Any idea why everything slows down after about 10 minutes of uptime?00:58
Odd_BlokeI don't get terminals when I hit Ctrl-Alt-F[3-6] any more, which makes debugging issues which lock up GNOME essentially impossible; what can I do to restore those?14:26
albert23Odd_Bloke: looks like terminals are started by systemd now15:00
albert23what does systemctl status getty.target say15:00
Odd_Blokehttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/db6hpRY5Fj/15:05
albert23if that black dot is green for you, i have the same15:08
albert23Odd_Bloke: journalctl -e | grep tty shows the tty starting for me15:15
Odd_Bloke`journalctl -e | grep tty` is empty for me.15:16
albert23does ls /lib/systemd/system/getty* show any files?15:17
albert23I get:  getty-pre.target      getty@.service        getty-static.service  getty.target          getty.target.wants/15:17
albert23Odd_Bloke: systemctl status getty-static.service may have the answer15:29
albert23terminals will only be started if /lib/systemd/system/dbus.service doesn't exist15:30
Odd_BlokeAh, getty-static has "Condition: start condition failed"15:30
Odd_BlokeRight, that makes sense in this case, I guess.15:31
albert23Odd_Bloke: actually, I have that file too so it's not relevant.  My tty is started from getty@.service.15:42
albert23maybe you need systemctl enable getty@.service15:42
Odd_BlokeSwitching to tty3 has started a corresponding service, but I do just get a blank screen there.15:43
albert23does systemctl status getty@tty3.service say agetty is running ( like 667 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty1 linux)?15:47
albert23agetty should give the login prompt15:47

Odd_BlokeYep: /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty3 linux16:22
Rihards91Hello! Could anybody help me compile grub2 from source? I compiled(with deb packages) on 16.04 without problems, but 18.04 there are few errors for grub-pc tests. commands i used are: apt build-dep grub2, apt source grub2, cd to the directory and  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b.  For some reason squashfs_test fails. squashfs-tools are installed17:41
naccRihards91: is there a reason you are compiling it yourself?17:42
Rihards91Yes i need to do some minor modifications and mostly just learning. Anyway even without modifications for some reason i cant build.17:45
Rihards91Makefile:11123: recipe for target 'test-suite.log' failed17:45
Rihards91make[6]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 117:45

naccRihards91: please use a pastebin17:45
naccRihards91: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/356427736/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.grub2_2.02-2ubuntu7_BUILDING.txt.gz per that, there are no tests to run17:51
naccerr, sorry, they all pass, i mean17:52
Rihards91Hmm. 17:55
Rihards91so basicaly with those commands which i mentioned everything should work?18:00
albert23Odd_Bloke: sounds like your system just doesn't show the getty prompts. I have actually seen that before when I built a kernel myself without enabling fbdev support (DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION for my system with intel graphics)18:04
naccRihards91: i'm not sure18:08
Odd_BlokeRihards91: You could try uploading your changes to a PPA (to check if your local environment is the problem)?18:24
Odd_Blokealbert23: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SYphw4Q9jZ/ is all I have in dmesg regarding framebuffer.18:25
Odd_Bloke(Actually there are a few more which have "buffer" rather than "fb" in them, but they don't look interesting.)18:25
albert23Odd_Bloke: in my case it says vesafb instead of efifb18:27
Rihards91ok thanks. I'ļl see what can i do tomorrow18:28
albert23Odd_Bloke: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1261696 says video=efifb:off on the kernel command line gives a working console18:31
ubottuError: Could not parse XML returned by bugzilla.redhat.com: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1261696&ctype=xml)18:31
Odd_Blokealbert23: Ooh, I'll have to give that a try when I'm next not in a meeting. :)18:33
ngf42i'm confused. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/xen-hypervisor-4.6-amd64 is this xen hypervisor v4.6 or v4.9?18:37
naccngf42: that is a binary package18:38
naccngf42: it would seem the xen sourc epackage produces multiple versioned xen-hypervisor binaries18:38
naccxen-hypervisor-4.9-amd64, e.g.18:39
ngf42ok. i was worried because https://www.xenproject.org/ says that 4.6 is already past full support EOL.18:39
* ngf42 is evaluating if ubuntu LTS package versions will keep up with xen well enough to be viable as a vm host.18:40
naccjust my own opinion, but i don't know why, if you're building your own host, you'd use xen anymore18:41
ngf42as opposed to docker or other containers?18:41

Sean_McGshow some kvm/qemu love!18:42
naccngf42: i mean, kvm18:42
ngf42i suppose that's always an option. i'm in research phase now, so thank you; i've got even reading to do :-)18:43
ngf42can you recommend any specific resources for me to compare these options?18:44
naccngf42: i don't have any handy, it's possible there's some in the serverguide18:45
naccngf42: i'm sure there are blog posts18:45
ngf42indeed, several. i appreciate your help. does this channel use karma (nacc++ Sean_McG++) or should i just give you a cat gif as gratitude? https://i.imgur.com/C4vdI8l.gifv18:46
naccngf42: neither :)18:46
ngf42ah well, thanks anyway :-)18:47
naccngf42: you're welcome!18:47
