What do you thing about this?... [00:10] http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/126185/en-us [00:11] It's an already released nvidia driver, not the latest, but the issue could remain since then [00:11] "Added an nvidia.ko kernel module parameter, NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler, which can be used to enable experimental handling of laptop backlight brightness through /sys/class/backlight/. This handler overrides the ACPI-based one provided by the video.ko kernel module." [00:11] Could this be related to my brightness issue? [00:12] GNOME not being able to detect brightness control from nvidia driver?

I am currently running 17.10, and would like to upgrade to 18.04 (to hopefully resolve some video issues). After I apt update then apt upgrade a few times I get the following error: [03:01] The following packages have been kept back: [03:01] nvidia-384 [03:01] how may I remedy this to do the upgrade? [03:03] My issues, I have a Dell XPS 15, I am unable to get the machine to shut down, and in order to get decent icons and other resoltions on my 4k screen I have to use scaling, but some applications don't accept this, and are still too tiny to read [03:03] Is this the best forum for help on the upgrade etc? [03:06] what_now: Good call to try 18.04. What results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ? [03:07] whats new on 18.04 [03:07] Bashing-om, Similar response [03:08] Bashing-om, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DWJX8nDRb8/ [03:08] what_now: Let's see the output in a pastebin .

See here what nvidia recommends for the driver . [03:13] Bashing-om, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XJmkTWpRkW/ [03:14] what_now: However, as you are contemplating release upgrade to 18.04 .. best practice is to revert the driver to open source . [03:14] Bashing-om, ok [03:15] Bashing-om, and then after upgrade, I can attempt the Nvidia? [03:15] what_now: "display UNCLAIMED" the driver is broken. So with the abpve advisemmnt, what do you want to do ? [03:18] Bashing-om, not sure honestly, I installed Ubuntu 17.10 on this machine XPS15 as dual boot, with so many display issues, I didn't work on fixing them, but stuck with Windoze for work items. I am hoping that I can do the upgrade and finally rectify issues [03:18] either via open source or nvidia. [03:18] I don't recall why the open source failed, but I know Nvidia worked better [03:19] what_now: what is the "work" that's keeping you on windows? === wodencafe is now known as WodenCafe [03:19] I do know in the current state, the machine won't shut off w/o pressing / holding the power button.

[03:21] fixes* [03:22] Bashing-om, OH, that would be so nice!! it appears to me my issue is the 4K screen on this 15" model, My hope has been that 18.04 presents a fox [03:23] I'll be back === WodenCafe is now known as wodencafe === HappyHotDog is now known as Adogio === bhalithan1 is now known as bhalithan [03:36] hi [03:36] this reminds me of aol === Adogio is now known as HappyHotDog [03:47] how can i get nfs to automatically start during boot? === rud0lf is now known as Not_Lara [03:47] hololeap, on clients - add mount lines to /etc/fstab [03:48] sorry i meant server... do i run `systemctl enable nfs-server`?

I already have quite a few, feel free to message me if you want some suggestions :) [05:07] otuspsychje that worked! appreciate it! :) although I thought the install command was more like apt-get install package_name, is that incorrect? [05:07] apt is a replacement of apt-get.. if something says use apt-get you can just use apt [05:07] MightyNoob: 16.04 and higher changed that a bit and sudo apt install is enough, also progress bar was added [05:08] ubottu thank you and I've just pulled up that PDF and it's pretty darn extensive! i liked that! thanks for the link, much appreciated :) [05:08] MightyNoob: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:08] Kharma Me Too!!

We need to get together you and I lol [05:10] lotuspsychje ah! that's the version I'm running, Linux can get pretty confusing though, hehe I just learned there are 4 primary repos and 2 of them are officially maintained by Canonical! although this whole "package" idea of Linux is a bit confusing, from what I can tell Linux/Ubuntu referees its software/apps/programs are "packages", is this clos [05:10] e to correct assessment? === VV0|}3|\|C4F3 is now known as wodencafe [05:11] MightyNoob: yeah packages [05:13] Kharma oh yeah! I think that's the whole beauty of Linux honestly, being able get stuff done in a terminal is some boss level shit :) it's just much faster and effective I think, yeah for sure mate, Im trying to learn as much as I can about Linux :) btw, Ubuntu's official docs are pretty decent too, I found this for APT commands and it's pretty s [05:13] traight forward https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto [05:13] This is a great resource as well MightyNoob and anyone else new to Linux https://linuxjourney.com/ [05:13] hehe let me check that out :) [05:14] MightyNoob Kharma for other discussions try #ubuntu-discuss keep this channel free for support only please [05:14] lotuspsychje gotcha :) [05:14] Sorry. I'm already in there. [05:15] I just hopped in there! [05:17] wow!! [05:19] Hi anyone here ? [05:19] Need a small help [05:19] spell it [05:20] Hi mpeg so I am using ubuntu 18.04 final beta on my inspiron 5370 [05:20] but when I do lsusb I can't seem to find my fingerprint reader [05:20] do you know where could I get drivers for this [05:21] unfortunately my laptop came pre installed with windows 10 [05:21] and they provide support for linux [05:21] *dont provide [05:21] so no help there [05:23] i dont use that personally. sorry i cant help [05:24] no worries [05:24] It looks like I was able to locate Chromium when using the apt-cache but not the Chrome itself, is there a reason for that? perhaps Chrome is not available in repos and must be directly downloaded from the actual Chrome's download page? [05:26] avraw: as far as I know it's not something that's provided out of the box, but you can take a look at the fingerprint-gui PPA (which, again, is not technically supported) https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/ (see also /msg ubottu ppa) [05:27] MightyNoob: we use chromium-browser on ubuntu as alternative [05:28] MightyNoob: unless you have a specific reason to use chrome instead [05:28] MightyNoob: https://www.google.ca/chrome/ download the .deb file [05:28] Chromium is basically the same though, yo can sign in like Chrome and everything MightyNoob [05:29] Same extensions etc [05:29] Kharma aha have already done that, I was just more like wondering why the package wasn't available on the repos :-/ [05:30] I wondered that too.. Not everything will be in a package manager. Maintainers have to create the package and upload them... something like that. [05:31] Also, you may need to add different repos etc MightyNoob [05:31] sliding horn I already tried that but without the hardware being detected ther is nothing that I can do further [05:33] Kharma aha! turns out there are 4 official repos that are supported by Ubuntu, if you want anything else that's not available through repos it must be directly downloaded from the websites directly OR by adding more repos in resources.txt file :-/ [05:33] !partner | MightyNoob or this way [05:33] MightyNoob or this way: Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [05:34] ah~ good boy ubottu! thanks [05:35] MightyNoob: just dont play with proposed ok :p [05:35] lol [05:36] 1/wg spr [05:36] op[s [05:37] RtMF: can we help you?

I don't really like the direction of Ubuntu, I see on my VPS that they're now advertising cloud business services on the welcome text when I log in [06:43] b5509cd: if you want suggestions other than ubuntu, this is the wrong place to ask [06:43] (it's also offtopic) [06:45] b5509cd, yes, the best distro for beginners is gentoo [06:50] Not sure where to ask this question... I'm using Ubuntu 17.10. I just got a new monitor. On the new monitor fonts in my browser look rubbish [06:51] I'm using a single x display shared across two monitors. If I move the browser across to the other old monitor, the fonts look fine. [06:51] I don't know if this is a an OS thing, a video card thing or a monitor thing [06:53] bobdobbs, 17.10 isn't supported yet [06:53] yes it is [06:54] is the new monitor high DPI ? [06:54] checking... [06:55] stanford_AI, bobdobbs 17.10 (2017.oct) release is supported, 18.04 is the ver that comes out next week [06:55] guiverc: I'll upgrade as soon as I can [06:55] bobdobbs, never use experimental versions [06:55] bobdobbs, although I'd say ALL ubuntu versions are quite experimental [06:56] stanford_AI: yeah, I upgrade from 14.04 accidently. I thought I was moving to 16.04. But I messed something up. For the most part it's working though [06:57] bobdobbs, wow so dumb lol [06:57] it was a silly mistake, sure [06:57] bobdobbs, if you're using 17.10 - its fine. you shouldn't upgrade to 18.04 until after release [06:58] bobdobbs, I recommend you go back to 12 or 14 [06:58] ericrajuin: is DPI the same as resolution? [06:59] stanford_AI: nah, too risky. I don't thnk I need to downgrade [06:59] ericrajuin: if so, google tells me that this monitor's specs include "1920 x 1080 DPI" [07:00] bobobobs: actually it shouldn't matter anyway. [07:01] bobdobbs: have you try pressing the "auto" button on your new monitor(if it has one) ? [07:01] does it make a difference which cable I'm using? The monitor has an HDMI and a VGA input. I'm using the HDMI cable [07:01] ericrajuin: I'll look for that button [07:02] bobdobbs, as for fonts and varying monitors. if they have different pitches (dpi) fonts can look different between monitors. dpi is dots per inch, resolution looks at whole screen, so a 13' laptop can have a huge dpi and higher resolution than 19' monitor yet 19' easier to read [07:03] bobdobbs: or adjusting the 'pahse' and 'clock' settings in the new monitor. Pressing the 'auto button should set it automatically [07:05] bobdobbs, yes cable can make a difference. better cables can be worth it (depends on a number of factors), but for most connections you won't notice a differnce. dvi & hdmi are usually higher res than vga, dvi often higher than hdmi (except for latest rev of hdmi; but unless using 8k you won't notice) [07:10] Does anyone here use Genymotion? [07:11] Ubuntu 18 is gonna be great. Like 16 but even more full of bugs [07:14] ericrajuin: I found a settings screen for the monitor within nvidia-settings. Looks like the resolution is set to auto. [07:20] bobdobbs: type "xrandr" in terminal, it shows what resolution your monitors currently using. The lines marked with a "*" [07:22] ericrajuin: this is the output: https://hastebin.com/defejomeji.css [07:23] ericrajuin: so it looks like the resolution described on line 4 is the resolution being deployed [07:25] hi [07:28] jt, howdy. this is a ubuntu support channel, if you have a question best to just ask it (ideally a single line and be patient as people are usually doing things & check here occasionally) - we're mostly not big on small talk :) [07:29] bobdobbs: that pastebin link doesn't work [07:30] https://hastebin.com/nuwokiqeke.css === wodencafe is now known as upthyme === upthyme is now known as wodencafe [07:34] the link is misspelled "hastebin" [07:35] oh, wait. no it's not :) [07:36] ericrajuin: I think I fixed the issue. I found a link to the Toms Hardware forum that suggest adjusting the 'sharpness' level on the monitor itself. [07:37] I did that and the fonts look quiet a bit better [07:37] cool [07:38] thing is,the contrast between the fonts and their backgrounds in the browser doesn't looks as clear. But I'm not sure... maybe it's just my eyes [07:38] hi all im having trouble hooking up and accessing usb from oracle virtualmachine (Ubuntu is host machine) have tried adding my username to virtualmachine users list and installing the addon extras pack rebooting...now im at the point that i can see usb listings when i go to settings usb green plus but after i add i cant find them any where in the vm os [07:40] guiverc,thank you!i finally found the organiztion.i used to be unable to solve my problems on Ubuntu anywhere else.

[09:17] violinist: dont think you can change the default copier, check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40492606/change-default-system-file-copier-in-linux#40493312 [09:22] did anyone successfully installed ubuntu 17.10.1 from default desktop 64 bit iso image? [09:22] I am recieving CHS: Error 8001 reading sector 2860068... no matter what medium is used (usb sticks, HDDs connected via usb 3, or sata) the iso sha1 is as expected, i did not bother with other checksums, I believe this release came already prescratched [09:27] i would rather get information about the issue than stare at lowres symbols of keyboard and circled human... [09:28] nescius, yep. did you check your download before writing to media (ie. md5sum or sha...) [09:28] guiverc: i wrote that, yes [09:28] sorry you mentioned sha1 i now see [09:29] what device was the error reading sector on? if hdd/sdd I'd run testdisk [09:31] i used usb flash disk, and two separate hdds, mediums would not be the issue [09:32] i asked whether anyone actually installed the 17.10.1 from scratch because I believe that the iso image is 💩 [09:32] is it the install-to media that had the error though? [09:32] no, the boot initialisation screen with keyboard and cycled man [09:34] i kinda doubt there's something seriously wrong with the iso [09:35] i believe i used it without issue; i'd have formatted using try (& gparted) then only used install 'something else' -- but 17.10.1 was awhile ago... [09:35] Butterfly_: have you installed the system from the iso? i would love to be proven wrong.. i am a bit out of ideas [09:36] guiverc: thanks, i will try something else then [09:36] nescius : i haven't used ubuntu in a while honestly, but i kinda doubt that ubuntu devs would bring out a faulty ISO [09:37] Error 8001 reading sector 2860068 [09:37] Butterfly_: no, thats not how it works, i work as a tester, devs do mistakes often. [09:37] sure you verified the ISO nescius ? [09:38] doublesure as i wrote before. [09:38] i have not verified the disk where I wrote the iso to. [09:38] nescius : do you get that error while installing to different disks as well ? [09:39] i am recieving same erorr and sector acros other medias [09:39] different media you install from? or different media you install to ? [09:39] Butterfly_: as I wrote, i did not get to the step where actuall installation starts. [09:39] oh [09:39] nevermind [09:39] guess i read the lastlog a bit too quickly :) [09:40] my kids are hungry, see you :) [09:40] nescius : https://askubuntu.com/questions/92631/installation-problem-bootlogo [09:40] Hi, I recently upgraded my Ubuntu to 16.04. However, now my laptop fan seems to run at higher speed and the laptop seems to overheat even though the CPU usage is around 3%. Any experience with similar issues? [09:40] not sure if that helps you nescius , but maybe worth a try ? [09:41] nvm [09:41] * Butterfly_ grabs a coffee, need to wake up a bit more [09:43] Hello [09:43] boba, sorry I can't help with laptops except hardware - check airvents aren't blocked, or vacumn them clean... [09:43] I have a problem who can help me? [09:44] in ubuntu setting [09:44] Sadegh, if you have a Ubuntu problem, please just ask it & if someone knows the answer they'll reply. please all in one line & be patient [09:45] !ask | Sadegh [09:45] Sadegh: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:45] Ok . I trying to install firefox but i cant [09:45] !ask test [09:45] guiverc: I do not have such problems on Windows 7. Hence, I do not think the airvents are the problem. [09:45] !ask | test [09:45] test: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:45] sorry [09:45] kinda strange that it needs a | [09:46] Butterfly_, helps to seperate partial.message.for.user & the command I think... [09:46] Butterfly_, You can use a pipe to have the bot talk to them in public, or a greater than to have it PM them [09:46] !party > Butterfly_ [09:46] Butterfly_, please see my private message [09:46] Sadegh, what's the issue? I assume you've `sudo apt install firefox` - what version of Ubuntu? [09:46] JimBuntu : but a simple channel message... why wouldn't that just be !party JimBuntu [09:47] i don't see the reason for | [09:47] boba, sure sounds odd. Sounds like some of yorur sensors and fan control may not be supported out of the box [09:48] Butterfly_, better to ask whoever wrote the bot, perhaps. Maybe it's because this is a linux channel and we love pipes [09:48] :) @ JimBuntu - why it also knows > [09:49] JimBuntu: doesn't | posts msg in public chat and > sends a pm? [09:49] Sadegh, What version of Ubuntu and can you pastebin the command and output you are using to try to install FireFox? [09:49] saurabhs_, yes, isn't that what I said? [09:49] JimBuntu: The laptop is pretty decent. It is odd that the sensors are not supported. [09:49] JimBuntu : i had a bot that was active in 600+ channels, and yes, pipes can be great, but it's not exactly the most newbie friendly way, it's also not exactly intuitive, as there's hardly any bots that use pipes for simple standard in channel respond messages [09:50] boba, Well, support is based on what the devs have seen/recognized and that it doesn't stray far from previous devices. With the fans running faster, almost makes me think it's running in performance mode rather than ondemand. In regards to CPU speed === Skaface is now known as Skaface82 [09:51] boba, the sensors depend on components used, and whether or no the [chip] makers provided specs for the chipsets, or like intel & some makes wrote the code to enable support for linux themselves ... some cheap makes don't care [09:51] still a great bot though, it has some great commands that make giving support and keeping channel under control a whole lot easier... and that's the last i'll say about it, cause i'm a bit off-topic :) [09:51] Butterfly_, I understand your concern. Respectfully, I don't want newbies using the bot. I also have no admin status over the bot... so, there is that. I do however love pipes and redirects ( > ), so I have had no issue with how the bot operates. [09:53] JimBuntu : as long as newbies don't abuse the bot, i have no issue with newbies actually using bot features, they might be able to help with keeping the channel under control, or to redirect people to other channels, ... this gives them a feeling of accomplishment and being part of the team, and they'll more likely stick around to try and help others... it can boost the amount of people that are actually [09:53] trying to help people... we don't need experts only to give support, even a newbie might already be able to help another newbie as they know just a tiny bit more :) [09:54] JimBuntu: guiverc I have intel cpu and a pretty professional laptop. I doubt that the problem is because of missing specifications or no support for linux. As far as I remember I did not have this problem on Ubuntu 14.04. [09:57] Butterfly_, I agree with the possibility. I don't consider anyone a newbie that can figure out how the bot works... they are simply an expert-in-training [09:58] boba, then you may have discovered a bug. Please post the model/etc. [09:58] JimBuntu : exactly my thought as well :) [10:00] Butterfly_, Here is a cool story. Recently, there was a noob, who had a power issue... not only did they figure out how to file a bug report, they asked questions, learned how to download and build the kernel, how to bisect commits and eventually found the exact commit that was causing them issues... never having built anything from source before, let alone used git/etc. This took a couple weeks, but +1 all day for them! [10:02] JimBuntu : i love such stories :) sometimes newbies surprise me completely, and a little encouragement can go a long way :) [10:03] A little understanding goes miles [10:06] Butterfly_, Yeah, at first the user was a total PITA, as they didn't understand the generally accepted rules for IRC either... may have been their very first use of IRC, I don't remember... but now they know. Still learning how NOT to insult kernel devs in public, but hey, can't expect them to learn everything in a couple weeks. I am very proud of them! [10:07] JimBuntu: I have ThinkPad W540. [10:08] has anyone flashed a rom with odin onto s5 via linux or even successfully with wine [10:08] or rooted [10:08] from linux [10:08] JimBuntu : lots of people never ever used irc, especially people under 27 years old or something, and even if they used chatrooms, they probably have no experience with an irc support channel... sometimes all it takes is a little education for them to understand how irc works [10:09] GoneFishin : flashing roms through wine... i'll never even try that, i refuse [10:09] boba, have a look at https://askubuntu.com/questions/780173/how-to-solve-laptop-gpu-overheating-problem-in-ubuntu16-04 - maybe it'll have some clues [10:09] sorry ignore last boba [10:10]
