[00:00] Jordan_U TJ- So where do I go from here? [00:00] Also, poking around in motherboard settings, appears Secure Boot is not currently enabled. Would that make any difference? [00:01] ras: SB wouldn't. Can you determine if the PC is working normally but has no video output, or has actually hung and is no longer responsive? [00:02] TJ-: I can't tell... what would be a good test for that? a ping or something? [00:03] ras: yes, or possibly check your gateway router's web admin panel see if it shows connected clients (that have received DHCP leases) [00:03] TJ-: OK, will check what I can [00:04] ras: did you test the 'nomodeset' option ? [00:04] Yes, it was one of the first things I tried. Same results [00:05] yoyodownloader, i haven't done it, but i'd just save your links to a directory that is scanned by the other machine, it would then download any links saved. If a new ubuntu iso comes out, I often grab links on a workstation, which are then downloaded from server using saved links === antonm_ is now known as antonm [00:06] yoyodownloader, in my example - i run a script on server that looks for 'newer than last run' links for which to download; instead you'd use a cron job having scan automatic... [00:06] ras: which does seem to suggest - if it is solely a video issue - this is about the firmware video interface. usually efifb should load and be active. Is the system using hybrid GPUs (low/high power) ? If so, have you tried selecting the high-power GPU for installation ? [00:07] guiverc: yeah, guess it would need to be a browser extension though because i need to save cookie info too for the link to work [00:07] TJ-: When you say 'high power', do you mean the external GPU? I was under the impression that would probably cause more problems, but I can give it a try [00:08] yoyodownloader, my example is just links (urls to download) which are not done via any change to browser; just saved to a specific directory on nfs-server accessible to other machine.. [00:11] Hi All, just changed from Ubuntu Gnome to mainline Ubuntu as part of a fresh install I'm however not happy with the look , this orange theme is not for me, how can I change back to the stock Gnome 3 Gnome shell theme ? ( blueish things ) [00:11] ras: yes, because sometimes the way the switching between internal/external is done can cause problems [00:12] halt, have you added the gnome-tweak-tool [00:12] TJ-: I see. Testing now... [00:14] guiverc: Yes and I have the nice warning next to the Shell [00:15] I tried to install the https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ extension whih allow me to upload some custom CSS but I can't find the stock Gnome Shell theme and at the same time I belive there must be an easier way to revert the ubunutu customization [00:16] halt, i'm not a gnome user, so i'm not the best person to answer. when 17.10 came out (or was in beta) i recall reading how to do what you want; but I never took notice.. [00:17] halt, maybe look at https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/10/install-vanilla-gnome-shell-ubuntu-17-10 [00:18] Isn't that just like a theme pack? [00:18] i recall lots of such articles (working on uwn), but as didn't relate to me specifically, i processed for uwn & then forgot... [00:31] TJ-: Tried various kernel parameters with the external GPU setup as the primary graphics device. No luck so far. [00:32] im used to use suspending feature but right now the suspend not work after using the new kernel... i don't remember history of the last used kernel even after i install stock kernel the suspend won't work ... sleep just for 2 second then box up again http://vpaste.net/oyPpb [00:32] Also tried to find the device IP and ping it - very hard to locate it actually; we have many machines on our network. But so far I'm not sure if it's even getting an IP - might just be unresponsive and locked up [00:36] hi guys... [00:38] I was cleaning my laptop earlier using a piece of cloth that was fairly wet, then my mouse was moving around stuttering so I disabled the touchpad using the keyboard keys FN+F7 which has the touchpad sign, but now when I want to turn it back on it isn't working [00:39] opened the control center using the keyboard and there is no setting to turn the touchpad on or off [00:39] can I get it to work? what do I need to install maybe [00:40] rhoks, have you tried fully powering it off, unplug it, pull the battery, then put it back, plug back in, power on? [00:40] TJ-: Okay, I was able to find it's IP on our network... however, it doesn't respond to a ping when trying to run the Live USB in UEFI mode. [00:41] purplepod: ummm when I say touchpad I mean mousepad. But no I didn't unplug anything [00:42] Huh? Touchpad = build in touch device on your laptop [00:42] I don't know what you mean by 'mousepad' [00:42] unless you mean the same thing [00:42] rhoks: sometimes reboot will make the touchpad working again [00:43] just 100% power off your laptop and then restart. you may need to pull the battery to fully 'reset' everything [00:43] unfortunately this laptop's battery is internal [00:43] so I can't do that but I can shutdown [00:43] and unplug power cord [00:45] What do people use for patch management on ubuntu servers? [00:47] i just installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics hope that helps [00:49] anyone here got experience with short suspending then the laptop wake up in at least 2 second after entering sleep? [00:56] heh, still no luck, I installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [00:57] -libinput was already present it seems [00:57] logged out and back in yet no touchpad settings available in the gnome-control-center [01:00] how would I go about setting up a NFS loopback for local machine to recognize itself other then direct path to shares [01:01] example in Kodi when browsing to add a share source I select nfs next i select nfs://192.168.1.64 and it tells me that the network is not connected [01:03] nevermind that sound like a bad issue [01:28] BillD73, I don't know Kodi, but i just ssh'd to a nfs server; and it could easily mount its own shares. is this what you meant by loopback? [01:31] guiverc: yes [01:32] guiverc: but i just read an article that doing so seems to cause a lot of deadlocks and is not a supported feature [01:32] however sadly, samba seems to do so willingly [01:33] Hi, im trying since yesterday to install the ubuntu-server on my mini pc (i5). I think is possible that the target hard disk have an issue. how i manage to test it? before try intallation? [01:34] i've not had issues, but it could also be my use case [01:34] guiverc: yeah I dunno, trying another solution lol [01:35] memo1, I'd check status of drive (using drives own stats, ie. SMART data using `smartctl` (smartmontools), then maybe `testdisk` (test it yourself) [01:36] guiverc: if im using the installer, i can access the console and execute that command? [01:37] guiverc: smartctl: not found [01:37] pretty sure you can (I haven't installed server in awhile; i release-upgrade) [01:37] install it first - `apt install smartmontools` [01:38] guiverc: oh, im usig the installer console. It dont let me install anything [01:39] try ctrl+alt+f2 to get another console.. [01:39] guiverc: yes. Im on a console. [01:39] guiverc: but apt install faild [01:40] do you have networking up? ( i haven't installed in awhile; and just auto check issues as they occur) [01:40] guiverc: yes [01:41] routing look ok? [01:41] guiverc: i can do ping to www.google.com [01:41] what version of ubuntu? [01:42] guiverc: ubuntu-server 16.04.4 [01:43] `apt update` (and check you have external sources in /etc/apt/sources.list maybe) [01:43] guiverc: apt not found [01:44] guiverc, sources.list.d as well [01:45] guiverc: the folder dont exist [01:45] !info smartmontools xenial [01:45] smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T.. In component main, is optional. Version 6.4+svn4214-1 (xenial), package size 425 kB, installed size 1462 kB [01:45] memo1, what does lsb_release -a give in the terminal [01:45] bazhang, is right; i thought that was implied (bad me!) [01:45] Errr, if it's the -server terminal installer there is no apt, the command would need to be done in the chroot /target/ [01:46] bazhang: not found [01:46] Hi all, any docker folks here? I have a tftpd server running in an Ubuntu 16.04 image (windows host). I can access the tftpd server internal to the container, but not outside (using windows host). Running tcpdump I see a request come in for the tftp file, but the follow-up UDP packet from container to the host is "unreachable" (https://pastebin.com/Qru4CJXJ). I'm using default "ubuntu:16.04" image. I can add a nginx server to the image [01:46] and the http request/responses come through fine on port 80. [01:47] memo1, is this an actual install, or a rescue of one, or what [01:47] Klox: does the container have a route to the host's sub-net ? [01:49] bazhang: im trying to install the ubuntu-server, but it always fails during base-system. I think is a problem with my disk and i want to check [01:49] bazhang: is a minicomputer (i5), that have windows xp before. Is any restriction on bios for linux installations?. first time that i cant install a linux distro [01:51] memo1, if you're having trouble with the server; boot say a desktop-ubuntu (selecting try-ubuntu) and use it to diagnose your disk; then if ok return to server install. [01:52] guiverc: once on live (try-ubuntu) how i check the disk? [01:52] TJ-: ip route list shows one route from my container (172.17.0.2) to the subnet 172.17.0.0/16. [01:53] Klox: and what sub-net is the host OS in ? [01:53] what i walked you thru, install & run smartmontools (/dev/sda or wherever; extra options I usually have to use due hardware raid), install textdisk etc & run [01:53] Klox: does the container not have a default route too? [01:54] walked you thru was a stretch -- i walked you thru nothing sorry - i 'vagely mentioned' may be more apt. [01:54] guiverc: not so apt if apt isn't installed :P [01:55] apt or apt-get, but i've never had issues using `apt` (or apt-get on a try-ubuntu before... but i said it'd been awhile since i installed server; 14.04 if not 12.04 is what i'm meaning) [01:55] guiverc: there is any settings on bios that could affect the installation process? [01:56] TJ-: The container has a default route to 172.17.0.1. The host has a handful of interfaces. the vEtherent is on 172.20.194.129 and DockerNAT is on 10.0.75.1. [01:56] So it doesn't quite look like it, however I can set up a nginx server and the tcp response comes back fine. [01:56] memo1, possibly but i'm not the person to help you with that. if you had XP though; it was old & thus its probably set to legacy to get xp installed. [01:57] In the pastebin log output the tcpdump is reporting "7fe7d78e044b.59726 > 172.17.0.1.39579: UDP, length 516" followed by udp port 39579 unreachable. [01:58] The 7fe... is the hostname of the container. [02:05] Klox: is there some kind of NAT going on, on the host? [02:07] TJ-: Yes I believe so, I am using docker-for-windows. I will have to read more about it. [02:07] Klox: maybe it's configured for TCP but not (correctly) for UDP [02:08] TJ-, :) yeah my use of apt was inappropriate... cute.. [02:08] TJ-: Possibly, I guess I should raise this issue on the docker forums for windows then. Thanks appreciate the feedback. [02:09] guiverc: interestingly, although the -server rootfs has no dpkg/apt, the ISO (mounted at /cdrom/) has smartmontools in it's repository at /cdrom/pool/main/s/smartmontools/smartmontools_6.4+svn4214-1_amd64.deb --- so, if the /target/ has been built at this point it would be possible to install it in the chroot and run it [02:10] Hello [02:10] I can't watch Netflix with Chromium? [02:10] I need Chrome? [02:10] Ubuntu 17.10 [02:12] That is correct BugzBunny ... Chromium does not include proprietary codecs needed for DRM playback on Netflix [02:13] Though it is possible to add the ability, I have only seen it done with Raspian for the raspberry pi [02:13] grrrrrrr [02:14] The problem, I have Chromium in Cgroup [02:14] It uses Too much memory [02:14] TJ-, didn't know that!; maybe I'd not had real issues with server installer as I'd have thought I'd have remember that. thanks. [02:15] I'll install Chrome and put into cgroup later === Leion1 is now known as Leion [02:15] can anyone tell me if virtualbox will open an *.iso stored on the local hard disk please [02:15] There is new show on Netflix i was getting into [02:16] i am having problems installing ubuntu on asus laptop.. always getting freeze screen on booting.. currently using fedora workstation and also having problems with fedora because i aint able to reboot or shutdown the pc without hardshutdown and the nvidia drivers always always failling when installing thats one of the reasons i am trying to see if with ubuntu will be easier. i ve tryed ubuntu 14 and 17 disabled secure boot tryed uefi [02:16] mode all that i believe i missing something can someone please help [02:16] MeaCulpa, You will have to seek support from Oracle and it's user groups, or do a google search [02:16] cheers [02:17] it keeps looking for usb grrr [02:19] Mercury10: I us Virtualization a lot [02:19] I have Windows 3.1 NT running for 86box [02:20] ISO? [02:20] OPEN? [02:20] BugzBunny, it was MeaCulpea that was talking about VMs and they have left the room [02:20] meh [02:20] I was thinking he thought ISOs was Zip files [02:20] Unfortunately their question was one that we can't really support as it wasn't ubuntu based [02:21] commin thing people think [02:21] Mea is quite knowledgeable, but this wasn't quite the right venue for their question [02:22] i want to be ubuntu based but my laptop is givin a fight [02:23] I don't know how well ubuntu 14 handled UEFI, 16.04 I think was better equiped for it MordepedroM [02:23] but if you couldn't get it working in 17... not sure [02:23] i ve tryed the LTS version [02:24] pragmaticenigma: Then I don't have tell, you assign a CD-ROM drive, and mount the ISO [02:24] its my bios settings or the way i am making the ISO that is givin the problems i believe [02:25] MordepedroM, what type of media are you using to install with? USB or DVD/CD-ROM? [02:26] i am using USB i used the ubuntu make disk gui to place the iso on the usb [02:27] Do you already have a installed version of Ubuntu on another machine? [02:28] my OS is not in english i am not sure if the name of aplication is make disk... but its the one with the image of an hard disk and ubuntu logo with green arrow [02:28] ras: It may just be that Ubuntu is trying to drive the wrong video output. Try as many outputs, on each of your cards (even if you think it's disabled). Somewhat a stab in the dark, but worth trying. [02:28] yes i am using ubuntu on my old laptop and trying to install on my new laptop === bitch is now known as Phoque [02:29] on my old laptop i am running the latest ubuntu version and would like to use also on the new one [02:30] MordepedroM, if you followed these instructions https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0 then your most of the way there... it sounds like it is a BIOS/UEFI issue, to which I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with. there are a others here that can help with that [02:31] I am pretty familiar with UEFI [02:31] I support UEFI [02:31] Ubuntu supports pretty Well, and the Kernel is signed [02:32] You said Old Laptop [02:33] i checked the link you gave and thats the program i used i ve done all that so must be BIOS.. i see the splash screen of ubuntu but when i choose install after a while the boot stops freezes [02:34] bugzbunny the laptop i am trying to install ubuntu is new [02:34] Installing Ubuntu from a USB? [02:34] yes [02:35] It should be straight forward === Phoque is now known as bitch [02:35] Where did it fail at? [02:35] Boot the USB? Loading the Installer, Partition the Drive? [02:36] it failed after i choose option in splash creen *install ubuntu after that i get ubuntu background and loading points and 6 points after freezes [02:37] The english is a bit hard for me to understan [02:37] understand* [02:37] even if i dont choose install if i choose try first without installing its the same [02:37] well.. sory for the bad english [02:38] *splash screen [02:38] So, the Grub menu I am guessing? [02:38] probably [02:38] not sure [02:39] Well I hand it over to other people [02:39] Onething, probably 'silent', when you press esc, you don't see anything [02:40] can you just tell what is the proper BIOS config i need to have because might be related with that [02:40] like the CSM should be enabled or disabled [02:40] BIOS should not get in the way unless you have seriously buggy BIOS === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:41] It's quite rare for BIOS to interfer with booting.. If you see Grub Menu, the BIOS has done it's JOB [02:41] anyway [02:42] Google Chrome is installed here [02:43] BugzBunny, if it is a UEFI enabled machine... it can interfere if anything tries to modify/access the boot partitions [02:44] yes its UEFI [02:44] If secure mode is turned on [02:44] yes [02:45] i turned off secure mode allready [02:45] But if you Grub Menu [02:45] I know there are few others here very well skilled in getting past that issue. It's also sometimes related to graphics card chipsets. Where the installer can't identify the graphics card. If you have more than graphics chipsets, you may need to turn one of them off in the BIOS [02:45] Mostly it's probably ACPI or GPU [02:45] when I see hangs like that [02:46] ACPI !! in fedora channel when i was trying to fix the reboot problem someone told me to turn the ACPI to false [02:46] hello, is there any way to run the ubuntu install without going through any external media? like without going through CD/DVD/usb/second hard-drive, etc.. [02:47] but the script they showed me was different of the one i have i didnt saw ACPI on my own [02:48] i ordered some blank CDs and they should get here soon i'm mostly just curious about how to make that work [02:48] DVDs* [02:50] I am watching Netflix right now [02:50] Hi, I'm trying to build perf tool from source. However I got Makefile.perf:6: ../scripts/utilities.mak: No such file or directory [02:51] stoopkid: There are many ways to install . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot .

What I have so far is a preseeded Ubuntu server installation and a script that installs slapd and nscd and configures it correctly without user intervention. The problem is with uniting those to.

I have an old HP Pavillion g6, currently testing how well 16.4.3 LTS works with everything. everything WORKS, sure, but, the prblem is that the colors look washed out!

I haven't used netstat in quite some time (man netstat). [09:43] Hey guys Im trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 into a MacBook Pro. I have reFind set up. Im stuck in the installation process because I cant indall Grub2 into my designated root partition [09:44] why cant you? [09:44] the grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install into / target. [09:48] Hi, I am boring,just posted a lot of hot? selfies at www.triphile.com, the first 6 pictures are mine [09:49] you should point grub installation on mbr ... [09:50] are you able to boot ubuntu? [09:50] does efi let you boot different partitions ... [09:51] yeap [09:52] i cannot able to format sd card using gparted.But it still boot windows on first patition and other partition are also unable to format or re partition.Any help ? On windows format return to message Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable. Format failed..................All NTFS boot sectors are unwriteable. Cannot continue. Format failed. Format failed. [09:52] not sure why I couldnt install grub2 along with my root partition [09:52] click: sounds like it's run out of available writes [09:52] But I will try to create a new partition and see if I could point Grub2 there [09:53] click: you're not using the partition you're trying to format are you ? [09:53] eg; do it from a live media disk [09:54] Thanks ikonia Yes i tried to do it in live ubuntu but gparted failed and old partiontable reapear again and again..Also tried bleachbit but unable to delete windows files [09:54] thanks may be sd card life cycle is out ? [09:55] sounds like it [09:57] darn ...RIP in peace my sd card .. [10:03] That worked. thanks guys [10:04] And on another issue, I am facing apparmor issues. it's blocking my boot process [10:04] best described here but the solutions are not working for me https://askubuntu.com/questions/1006529/failed-to-start-apparmor-initialization [10:05] hoping anyone would know of a fix [10:30] I am getting this error when trying to start virt-manager under ubuntu 17.10: https://pastebin.com/qmimhveb [10:31] any ideas? [10:31] hey guys. got a machine here that ran as a server with ubuntu 16.04 lts. inside theres a i5 3470 with a hd2500. since we now need some gui on that machine i installed xubuntu-desktop. however lightdm (as well as gdm for a test) are not accepting inputs from mouse/keyboard and freeze soon. [10:31] upgraded kernel to 4.14 now i get signal loss right after lighdm loads [10:33] in other TTY keyboard works fine though [10:34] pragomer: google translate tells me "Keine Berechtigung" means No authorization, so I'm guessing you don't have permission [10:36] trying these solutions: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/The_daemon_cannot_be_started [10:36] how can I open two terminal tabs and execute a script in each from a script? [10:36] bash or sh [10:36] but it is not clear to me if the solution 1,2 and 3 are to be done all (three) or just one of these steps? [10:36] pragomer: whats the output of 'groups' [10:37] myuser adm sudo lpadmin truecrypt [10:38] what group should i be in for using virt-manager? [10:39] mine includes "libvirtd" so i'm guessing you didn't install it properly [10:39] I just installed it via apt-get install [10:39] I will try to "adduser" me to that group [10:40] group does not exist [10:41] this does need a system logout right? [10:41] yeah [10:42] yes it now works ;-) adding the group and me to the group was the thing. thank you very very much Ben64 ! [10:47] Hi folks [10:52] can anybody help me on diagnosing and fixing this issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WVPpYqfCtZ/ [10:58] anyone might help me with that stubborn hd2500 ? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [10:59] kandinski: have you messed with grub in any way [10:59] ikonia: nope [11:00] as it's showing the script /usr/sbin/grub-probe has a typo in it [11:00] ikonia: I installed a so far unformatted disk. That's about it. [11:00] What if I uninstall and reinstall? [11:00] this doesn't happen unless a.) you've messed with it b.) you've got grub/grub config from somewhere else [11:01] ikonia: nope. I installed a so far unformatted disk, and well, apt-get upgrade does things with grub templates, I guess. [11:01] (whenever there is a new kernel, right?) [11:01] /usr/sbin/grub-probe is not even a text script, it's a binary. [11:04] ikonia: `sudo apt install --reinstall grub-common` did it, thanks [11:06] having a crack at using irssi here :) [11:06] just like the grown-ups [11:07] interesting beats the living crap out of polaris [11:07] does anyone know how to make polaris forget the first server name you enter and change servers? [11:08] kandinski: I wonder what happened to that config file then [11:08] ikonia: there is a reason I installed that second disk. I have had random failures, I think my disk is losing sectors. [11:09] gotta hate config files that refer to other conf files et al [11:09] wow, so you suspect disk corruption ? [11:09] (I have good backups, work mostly on remote computers, so no worries etc) [11:09] yep [11:09] because I recently had to change to xMonad as a WM because gnome would just not work [11:09] the error about a unexpected ) suggests it's "added" rather than deleted, but I guess it could have been miss-formatted [11:09] ikonia: but it could be anything. It's not a text file. [11:10] also, unexpected ) can mean that a ( was mutated to something else. [11:10] yes, very true [11:10] * kandinski shrugs [11:10] (I thought grub-probe was actually a shell script) [11:10] ikonia: thanks for helping me solve the issue. [11:10] you solved yourself [11:11] you prodded me in the right direction. I was feeling a bit helpless. [11:11] a lot to be learnt just lurking in this channel [11:13] is anyone here familiar with irssi? [11:13] just wondering what the quit command is [11:13] aside from part [11:14] MeaCulpa: you mean /leave? [11:14] MeaCulpa: /wc [11:14] is that it? [11:14] thanks mceier [11:15] still left me on the server [11:15] if you want to disconnect from the server use /disconnect [11:15] MeaCulpa: if you want to completely close irssi it's /quit [11:15] thanks [11:16] reading the instructions is totally out of the question of course [11:16] thanks deem [11:19] does anyone have an opinion of sublime 2 vs sublime 3? [11:19] MeaCulpa: get 3, and pay for it. Worth every penny. [11:20] go atom XD [11:20] thanks kandiniski [11:20] no nukes dreadkopp lol [11:21] quite fond of sublime [11:21] I have a network set to "manual" and whenever I add a route via the ip-route command, nm-dispatcher takes over and freaking deletes it. anyone got an idea? [11:21] but always curious to try [11:23] MeaCulpa atom is similar to sublime but free + more plugins ;) [11:23] I've been having a few problems getting virtualbos to create enough room for itself to run, I thought the dynamic setting should cover it? [11:23] virtualbo*x [11:24] any clues for me there? [11:25] works easy on my make but the settings seem a little odd on linux [11:25] make = mac, but the wine is good [11:25] or it was ;) [11:27] I was hoping I'd be able to check out loads of different distro's in virtualbox but it's not as easy as I thought [11:30] does ubuntu server just have php, apache2 and mysql as add-ons can anyone tell me? === jbz6 is now known as jay6 [11:30] add-ons to vanilla ubuntu I mean [11:33] Hi [11:33] hi [11:33] gidday [11:34] I will be chatting later but just wanted to test AndroIRC for the moment [11:34] Apparently it works. Thanks, seeya later. [11:34] is that a phone app EsMoi? [11:34] Yes === jay6 is now known as jbz6 [11:35] the text entry kills phone and pad apps I found esmoi [11:35] By the way i am new to Ubuntu. Divorced Microsoft recently. === jbz6 is now known as jay6 === jay6 is now known as jbz6 [11:37] good move esmoi, my mums hassles with doze drive me nuts, they always s tell her she needs something and she believes them [11:38] I just got sick of going back to my pc to find windows suddenly broke mysteriously with no changes. [11:38] esmoi I'm fairly new to ubuntu myself but it's far and away the best linuz distro I've tried [11:40] esmoi it's nice to avoid virii too [11:40] I love Android and my pixel 2 XL has so much power if i got a usb/hdmi/charging dock for it it could be a standalone computer in its own right. [11:40] I might do that to replace my laptop. [11:40] a bluetooth keyboard is great addition [11:41]
