[01:33] is there a way I can change the kernel safely or downgrade to kernel 4.9 which was really stable === Guest14808 is now known as Mony [01:36] jair, this link might help..>> https://askubuntu.com/questions/945403/how-to-downgrade-kernel-after-bad-update-16-04?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa [01:37] jair: You have old kernels still intalled .. from the grub boot menu one can select any installed kernel to boot . [01:38] Hey guys 1st, Ubuntu 18.04 just sucks! sorry to say I am going back to debian [01:39] I did not do an upgrade from 16.04 this was a fresh install for 18.04 [01:39] and I am really dissapointed [01:40] I just wanted to provide a feedback doing this type of realeases in a hurry frustrate everyone and make people waste their time when installing fucking buggy code [01:40] I am out and sorry but cannot recommend this [01:41] hello.... is it typical for frequent writes to disk from the kworker process? can they be reduced? [01:42] baba___: Do you know what the kworker process is for? [01:42] baba___: I should rephrase... do you know what a kworker process is? [01:43] i tried to correlate it with an underlying cause, but i was not able to get the perf utility to install, oddly...so i tried to generate a backtrace but got nothing from it [01:44] baba___: kworker processes are related to the kernel... you don't mess with them [01:45] baba___: If you are concerned about an SSD... You will likely replace the SSD for a larger capacity drive, long before you wear out the current drive with writes [01:45] i know, but i thought maybe something was causing excessively frequent activity, namely writes...or maybe the frequency is normal [01:48] hey all - I'm trying to install 18.04 on an Inspiron 1501, but I'm stuck at "Started Holds Snappy daemon refresh" [01:48] is there an install troubleshooting doc on the wiki that I have somehow managed to overlook? [01:48] I'm probably missing something obvious [01:49] baba___: kworkers are taking care of system functions at the kernel level. which if they're that low level, it's important... what you might need to do is investigate what applications you are leaving run in the background that might not be needed [01:55] well the great majority of disk accesses is attributed to kworker processes....every other operation on a file is a cached read or similar....so i was wondering if it was excessive...would an access of once every 15 seconds be normal? [01:55] can't get video from my camera in skype; sound is fine, audio test call's ok; but the usb connected Logitech QuickCam is seen by Pulse Audio as a microphone and there is no picture [01:56] Is there a way to make ubuntu use my intel GPU while still allowing me to use CUDA on my nvidia GPUs? [01:57] baba___: every 15 seconds... that's nothing to be alarmed about... I thought it was a continuous write going for multiple hours at a span [01:57] every 15 seconds is probably a cache flush [02:02] i see.......i wish i had gotten perf to work to examine the kworker processes in more detail...i don't know enough about this to interpret likely causes for kworker activity === ayl1ah is now known as MyNt1a === Erasmus is now known as Feral_Cat [02:12] well thanks for your insight....hopefully i can make use of the information...... === Feral_Cat is now known as Husky_Apocalypse === Husky_Apocalypse is now known as erasmus [02:15] could anyone suggest a tool to diag/check a QuickCam; like just to see yourself from it (independently from any other app)?

Can anyone tell me how to expand my boot sector? [03:28] RobInTaHood193: ' sudo apt autoremove ' will clear out old kernels from /boot ..if the package manager is still in a consistent state . [03:29] @bashing-om Thank you for replying. I am sorry but you just spoke another language to me that I do not understand. I am new to Linux. [03:30] By running this command is it going to format my boot sector? if it does, how will my bios now where to look for the OS?

[03:42] RobInTaHood193: set up unattended-upgrades once the disk space has been reclaimed . [03:46] The white paper says to type "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" but when I do, it says the "option g from -get is not understood with the combination with the other options/" [03:49] Okay this is what I get when listening to you...

[04:10] Lux_Xandroid. its your settings [04:11] I had the same issue when swamping out my monitor and my tv monitor. [04:11] you have to know what your monitors frequencies and resolution are. [04:11] oh...ok... [04:13] So here is what I get... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q6k2tNHKfQ/ [04:13] So, what what the freq and res on my monitor's menu is identical to what my Display settings are.. [04:14] both are the same...nothing changed by me... [04:15] Okay so you have to change the setting while still using the old monitor and then your old monitor will stop working then switch to the new. If the settings are right then your new one should work. [04:15] yet, if I were to pull my monitor cable from my box...and re-attach...nothing...no image on the monitor at all.. [04:15] same monitor... [04:15] That's for the other guys. I just know what worked for me. [04:16] RobInTaHood193: Not what I asked for . Give me what I am familiar with working with, please .

[04:19] If I pull the monitor cable from the Ubuntu...then put it back on...nothing.. [04:19] I just noticed if I turn the monitor off first....no problem.. [04:19] odd... [04:26] lux_xandroid cool! I have that same issue. I can't wake my monitor up with my mouse, I have to turn the monitor off and back on again. [04:26] Thank you you guys, so much for the help! I was able to remove a old kernel and it's image. [04:28] RobInTaHood193: There is still " The following packages have unmet dependencies:" to deal with at some point .

[04:33] i just tried to run the -f command and I guess I didn't free up enough space bc it gave me disk is full error. [04:33] I have plenty of disk space, this must be the /boot again. [04:33] I only removed one kernel. [04:34] RobInTaHood193: You will find out, that if the package manager is not happy - no one is happy. [04:34] Is Xfce official? [04:35] Bashing-om, I am sorry... Not sure what you mean by that? [04:35] dreamon_: xubuntu runs the xfce desktop, so yes xfce is official . [04:35] anyone there? [04:36] just wondering to to irc and linux but goodnight [04:36] d-STAR: ^^ sorry dreamon_ for the bad hilight . [04:37] Bashing-om Are you indicating that I need to be doing more than uninstalling old kernels?

[04:44] Bashing-om the dependencies that you speak of was the next updated that was never done bc I ran out of space in the /boot folder. [04:44] BGashing-om I just need to do some more hacking to resolve issue.

[05:57] MarkB2: wich version are you trying, and wich version did have the widgets working? [05:58] lotuspsychje: I did an apt-get install glade .. which loaded up 3.22.1 . Starting Glade gives that big full-screen "welcome" display. Starting a new project.. and no widgets are displayed at left. [05:59] The widgets are available via a pull-down at center.. but this is a whopper of a UI change... and I thought I might have screwed something up. [05:59] Plus there are a mess of complaints from Glade on start-up. [06:02] MarkB2: perhaps start glade from terminal, see what kind of errors you get? [06:02] That's where I have been starting it from. [06:02] oh right [06:03] Apologies if that wasn't clear. Should I post up a screenshot? [06:03] MarkB2: no, perhaps the output of your terminal starting glade in a hastebin? [06:04] Yep, that could work. One moment. [06:04] MarkB2: never used glade myself, but if on your 18.04 glade doesnt work properly i would suggest a new !bug for it [06:05] !paste [06:05] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[06:12] Boatload of errors. [06:12] MarkB2: we advise to stick to the glade version for your ubuntu version [06:13] MarkB2: what i would try, is to add myself affected to one of those bugs [06:13] And glade 3.22.1 is what's in the repository ... [06:13] !latest | MarkB2 yes [06:13] MarkB2 yes: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [06:14] MarkB2: you sure you dont need addons or extra packages for it to work right? [06:14] Well, 1758256 was marked as "invalid" as the author had a "buggy glade file". An empty string as required library.. [06:15] Nope, not that I'm aware of. [06:15] MarkB2: ok good [06:15] MarkB2: affect yourself to the bug most relevant, or create a new one [06:16] I had set up a very very basic glade-based thing, sort of like "hello world" for glade.. and switching to 18.04 I wanted to make sure it still ran. [06:16] That is, the entire tool-chain to that point still ran. === qwertyas is now known as Dbugger [06:17] MarkB2: perhaps create a new bug, from terminal ubuntu-bug glade [06:19] ubuntu-bug requires apport .. and that one crashes early on during boot.

[06:25] OERIAS: i presume you using chromium snap? [06:33] Now, I know glade for ubuntu 17.10 worked fine. [06:33] MarkB2: hence, why i would create a bug :p [06:34] Unfortunately, I can't compile 3.22.1 because there are dependencies living in the autogen.sh file .. something about introspection... and that's a dud. [06:34] MarkB2: as said before, we dont suggest compiling yourself, we have it on repo,snap,.. [06:41] You want a Real Man's Linux? Slackware. :-) [06:45] MarkB2: this is ubuntu support, so we advise ubuntu [06:46] yeah buy ubuntu i'll sell it real cheap mate [06:46] I just found a list of instructions on how to build this silly thing. I think the maintainers/developers aren't quite sure what a pointer really is. [06:50] lotuspsychje: I did the compile. Despite warnings galore, it linked up and there is a nice shiny glade . [06:50] And i don't believe it. [06:52] I suppose I'm behind the times a little... it was kind of nice seeing all those pretty icons and being able to left-click on one and place it onto a GUI. [06:52] MarkB2: im glad for you, but now the community aint helped on your version [06:52] Yah... apparently someone decided that having all those icons was "distracting". === anders is now known as Guest73310 [06:56] 2:55 AM my time.

[09:22] Hello, I'm kind of new to Ubuntu and the linux world as a whole. But right now, one of my tasks is to migrate a "working" cross compiling dev environment from openSuse to Ubuntu. This, however, doesn't work as anticipated. I think that I traced it back to symlinks within some folders not working correctly (they point to an existing file yet when tried to invoke fail). Is someone able to help me or point me in a direction? [09:25] Hi folks [09:27] resolved! Firefox was loading quickly. problem was caused by vpn chrome extension [09:41] hi guys why am i unable to openany program in ubuntu apart from firebox? [09:42] cant open slack or phpstorm [09:49] what do i do please [09:49] i cant open anything [09:49] cant open any of the software i have install [09:51] baako_, describe what happens, does it open and close suddenly or just unresponsive? [09:52] i am trying to open slack but it is not openning [09:52] i then try openning phpstorm and that is not opening [09:53] BluesKaj: it is not opening at all [09:53] baako_: try opening from terminal and see what it says [09:55] Triffid_Hunter: i ran phpstorm & in terminal and got "snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks" [09:57] baako_: I have no idea what any of those things are.. are you running selinux or some sort of extra security installation? [09:57] nope Triffid_Hunter [09:58] only have docker, phpstorm, slack and thundermail on here [09:58] firefox too [10:01] ran sudo apt purge snapd snap-confine && sudo apt install -y snapd and its not showing my application lol [10:02] @guiverc it's been more than an hour now [10:04] do you see disk activity? hadifarnoud [10:04] baako_: which kernel are you running? 'uname -r' [10:08] how can I check guiverc ? [10:08] hadifarnoud, if a local machine, you usually see led(s) flash on box... [10:08] it's not local [10:09] https://gist.github.com/hadifarnoud/5800331d3326521b85c3f523bcc2647e [10:11] MERHABA TURKİYEDEN OLAN VAR MI? [10:11] feared as such. if you have another term (or can ssh in a 2nd time) i'd look for activity; htop/iotop/iftop/.. to see if it looks 'busy' .. if not I'd be tempted to ^C & abort it; then `sudo apt-get -f install`; but I don't know the background for your issue so don't know why you were running `dpkg --configure -a` [10:12] guiverc I could not install anything. it would hang it the process. that's why doing configure -a [10:13] hadifarnoud, didn't you get an error relating to some specific package? and did you try `sudo apt-get -f install` [10:14] did not do sudo apt-get -f install [10:14] will try it now [10:14] even ^C doesn't kill it [10:14] !tr | mehmet [10:14] mehmet: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [10:15] hadifarnoud, i'd use another term (ssh in again) & kill from there... === mehmet is now known as istanbul-mehmet [10:15] (assuming you tried ^C a couple of times...) [10:16] there seems to be a bigger problem her [10:16] here [10:16] can't even kill -9 the process [10:19] I have another question now. doing a `kill PID` or `kill -9 PID` doesn't seem to work on dpkg [10:22] Hej! Någon annan som fått problem med svart skärm efter senaste uppdateringarna?? ubuntu 18.04 [10:22] Sorry wrong channes.. :) [10:23] Anybody seen issues with black screen after installing the latest updates for ubuntu 18.04?? [10:24] How can I make 18.04 server hostname change persist? I've edited /etc/hostname, done `hostnamectl set-hostname foo`, but the change doesn't persist between reboots.. [10:25] ah .. trying to edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg .. [10:27] OK, that worked .. nvm then [10:36] iron_houzi, don't forget ./etc/hosts [10:36] oops /etc/hosts [11:03] can anyone offer some advice on using bionic as an iscsi target? [11:06] i see there are two packages that, based on their descriptions, seem like alternatives: tgt and istgt [11:07] looks like there was an iscsitarget package that was removed after xenial === coffeeperson is now known as coffeeguy === coffeeguy is now known as coffeemug [11:16] hello everyone. Do you know if installing ubuntu 18.04 instead of 17.10 will also help fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147 [11:16] Launchpad bug 1734147 in linux (Ubuntu Artful) "corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel" [Critical,Fix released] [11:30] gra: yes, 18.04 should have that fixed. later kernel version, and i'm sure they kept the patch in. [11:31] adrian_1908: thank you so much [11:32] it's fixed even in Artful, but Artful is about to go EOL in a month, so.... go Bionic anyway. [11:32] right [11:38] Hi, can anyone point me to the git repo link for 16.04.x lts releases [11:39] Hi guys, Im installing an ElasticSearch on an operational server and some one said to me that I should consider using coreOS instead of ubuntu, can some recommend me what to do? [11:51] dabbler: I've used istgt on FreeBSD. [11:52] ascascqwdasvcfeq - if its an operational server, isn't that decision already made for you? [11:52] ascascqwdasvcfeq: try #ubuntu-offtopic [11:53] sa_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [11:53] sa_: ubuntu uses launchpad for it's proejects. Not github. [11:57] Where is xorg.conf these days? nothing in /etc/X11 that I can see? === Toast_ is now known as Toast [11:58] hello everyone [11:58] can someone help me with live cd and installation ubuntu? [11:59] ben72: it's no longer used by default. you can always create one if you need it tho' [11:59] ok thanks @blackflow [11:59] I've got an issue with a black screen after installing the latest updates for ubuntu 18.04... :( [12:00] tried everything I can think of now... have to reinstall.. [12:01] blackflow can you help me? [12:01] Leftyfb: First 16.04 point release has v4.4 kernel and second 16.04 point release has v4.8. I want to only kernel patches applied for second 16.04 point release, how to extract? [12:02] i want to install ubuntu on my windows tablet [12:02] it only has 32 bit uefi, secure boot off [12:02] i managed to get grub shell [12:02] but when i boot ubuntu from that shell i get black screen [12:02] does Ubuntu Server support LUKS? I don't see an option in the installer for disk encryption but maybe I'm missing the obvious? [12:03] yes === z is now known as Guest2853 [12:03] you can use luks to install an Ubuntu [12:03] but not sure with the default iso [12:03] Can somebody help me with a black screen error after updating 18.04? [12:04] in the partition menu [12:04] There isn't an option for LUKS in the partition menu. [12:04] ben72 in grub press e add nomodeset beetween quiet and splash and rpess control+x [12:04] maybe it will work [12:06] olj001 I can boot into terminal but I can't run startx. I just get "open /dev/fb0: Permission denied" [12:06] Is it possible to just update the kernel version without updating the point release? I mean to have v4.8 kernel for 16.04.1? [12:06] olj001: Per UEFI spec, the Firmware is 32 bit, not sure what that would matter [12:07] olj001: Please learn how the boot process works before making wild claims [12:07] i have grub shell if that helps [12:08] ubuntu boots in commandline, but when it should display some graphics, screen goes off and the rest is working normally [12:08] olj001: Grub shell, means the BIOS passed the torched to Grub, at this point, it's UEFI, stuff like that is bad Grub Bootloader configuration [12:08] Do you have USB Disk you can boot from to restore Grub [12:08] i don't have installed ubuntu [12:09] No USB disck [12:09] i want to install ubuntu on my windows 10 tablet [12:09] i have prepared ubuntu 18.04lts 64 bit [12:09] also i downloaded grub for 32 bit uefi [12:09]
