[00:24] hi guys,may i request assistance re bionic installation.. it says disk full,im using live usb installer [00:25] already formated the partition for it. [00:31] gparted is having errors as well,cant initialize the app itself [00:31] haiho: Show us ' sudo parted -l ' in a patebin from that liveUSB . [00:31] pastebin* [00:32] hi bashing.im on xenial live usb.i cant chat on the bionic live usb :( [00:34] from my previous experience installation should ask where i like to install ubuntu and give me options to format it. [00:34] haiho: Without information, we can not help . Does not matter what the USB is in this instance . We need to see what the partitioning is on that hard drive . [00:34] i got passed the donot connect to internet part.then the disk full msg came === charge_paro is now known as beaver [00:39] ayt,il just re download another iso.. thanks [00:40] haiho: K - keep in mind. MBR partition has a 4 primary partition limit . [00:51] Bashing-om https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WVpQYXdrsv/ [00:53] i can either install xenial or bionic.. both are not letting me :( [00:55] haiho: :) .. I do not know what to make of parted reporting a system error . Our target here though appears to be sda5 . [00:56] on xenial installer ,its having gparted issues. [00:56] haiho: As this is MBR partitioned, lets also look at the drive from another tool . What shows ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ? [00:57] yes.sda5 is my target [00:58] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5Y42wGbBMT/ [00:59] haiho: I always leave a bit of wiggle room in my partitioning .. 1MB before and after . Might try that and see if it makes a difference in that logical partition (??) . [01:00] hmm.installation work before on that partition [01:00] is it possible to remove and reinstall gparted on a live usb? [01:00] haiho: Yeah. fdisk sees the wiggle room :) . still looking . [01:05] haiho: haiho Well ... anything present now on sda5 ? What shows ' sudo mkdir /mnt/look sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/look ; ls -al /mnt/look/. As I do not see a problem . [01:05] sda5 is empty.got it formatted while inside bionic [01:07] haiho: You assume that it is empty ? As you say gparted is spazzing out might be very good to "look" . [01:07] pls rephrase -- > anything present now on sda5 ? [01:07] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DJtzjNPJyZ/ [01:08] ahh.i need to 2x check it u mean [01:08] its empty.format was success [01:12] haiho: Beats me .. If you point the installer to sda5 as '/' I would expect it to install . [01:13] hmm.how can i point it? :D [01:15] haiho: when you install you select "something else" .. then you must tell the installer to install as / on sda5 .

[01:40] haiho: Not sure of what you are asking .. the "advanced" mode is grub's older kernels, recovery consoles and mem-test . [01:42] Bashing-om: if i got u right, the suggested solution was to install bionic using the menu before the desktop gui loads ? [01:45] haiho: Never said that .. a couple of ways to get to the installer . Maybe for you the path of least resistance is to boot the installer in " try ubuntu " mode and once at the desktop, there choose "install" .. and in the install screen choose " something else" .

So it fails with errors on that every time (everything else will still install fine) It also thinks my /boot is full when it isn't [03:11] you didn't supply nearly enough info.. a log and a df -h on dpaste.com or similar would be very helpful. [03:13] https://pastebin.com/8b98g5j4 [03:17] Dj_FlyBy, i see 'no space left..' so I'd check you have space; consider `sudo apt autoclean; sudo apt autoremove` (which create space, but still need space to run) & if you're not running those older kernels; try purge/remove them... [03:18] !kernelcleanup | Dj_FlyBy suggested by guiverc [03:18] Dj_FlyBy suggested by guiverc: For information about removing old kernels to free up space on /boot, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels [03:18] pastebin.com, eh?.. and no df -h? [03:22] getting there. I'm a little slow on the keyboard [03:22] https://pastebin.com/KnuFccBR [03:30] As I am sure you can imagine... I cam quite confused... [03:30] am*** [03:31] Dj_FlyBy: In the future, you could just stick them all in one. If you really wanted, you could provide separate files with gist. You should never *ever* use pastebin.com. It's one of the second worst pastebins ever created (not quite the worst, but close). [03:31] I'd look into cleaning up old kernels, as mentioned a couple times, but I doubt that's what's going on. That /should/ be plenty of space. [03:32] excuse me.... why I can't update ubuntu16.04.1 to 16.04.4? I tried "sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade" and tried other source [03:32] but there are no old kernels. [03:32] You can be sure by running while true; do df -m; echo '---'; sleep 0.1s; done &>t and then kicking off dpkg again. It'd at least tell you if you're really running out of space or if something else screwy is going on. [03:33] Your log indicates that you absolutely do have older kernels installed. [03:33] I think my drivers crashed while I was watching youtube. I cant hear the video anylonger? [03:33] as can be seen in my pastebins there are no files regarding those kernels. There is also plenty of space on the partition as well. [03:33] colin-udo: details you provided... "it doesn't work" Do you have more? [03:34] Dj_FlyBy: you may want to re-read what you provided. It's pretty verbose and clear. [03:34] colin-udo, you should have got an error message (the reason why update failed), please pastebin it (unless it's a single line) or try `sudo apt install -f` (to attempt --fix-broken) [03:35] yea, I see it is trying to do "something" with "some" kernels which are not on my system... See pastebin.... If they were installed then where are the files that should be in /boot? [03:35] * MTecknology blinks [03:35] MTecknology: oh.. that's it... I mean I have a udo with ubuntu16.04.1, I want update it to ubuntu 16.04.4, but both "update-manager" and "apt update/dist-update" doesn't work TuT [03:36] colin-udo: like guiverc said... "doesn't work" is useless. Either share the details you have in front of you or there's nothing anyone here can do to help. [03:38] colin-udo: Did you get an error? If so, what was it? What did you run before the error? What logs do you have? You literally gave us the equivalent of "my car won't turn on; what's wrong?" [03:38] what's the best way to run xmodmap on startup in ubuntu 18.04 running gnome? [03:38] MTecknology: no error, just not find any updates [03:39] Anyone know why my audio stopped working while listen to music on youtube? [03:39] colin-udo, then please run it from update `sudo apt update` (to update repository lists; it doesn't update anything but lists of softare) - you should get lots of info lines as they update - if you get nothing that is your errors (sources.list* files are bad/wrong..) then... [03:39] I tried replace with other mirror address like ... aliyun, ustc [03:39] colin-udo, run it from terminal (not update) [03:40] also, does anyone have any tricks for swapping the command and alt keys on an external mac magic keyboard that uses bluetooth (on same setup). hid_apple/swap_opt_cmd seems not to work for the newer mac keyboards [03:40] wkalt: do you want it on startup or do you want it on session initialization? [03:40] session initialization [03:41] look through the gnome menus... I remember there being some preferences for "startup" stuff. [03:41] session* startup [03:41] Yeah, I got a list from sudo apt update , but there is no update notice... em.... anyway, thanks a lot, maybe I need update it to ubuntu18.04 [03:41] How do you restart your drivers on a linux? [03:41] what makes you certain you have uninstalled updates? [03:42] RobInTaHood193: rmmod/modprobe [03:42] I've tried going through the "startup applications" menu item, and also putting it in .xmodmap/.xsession which has worked on debian for me. Ubuntu/gnome seems to be more opinionated about it. [03:42] colin-udo, after `sudo apt update` you then `sudo apt dist-upgrade`... (to upgrade software from the updated software lists your machine has) [03:42] "All packages are up to date", and I tried "sudo dist-upgrade", still no anyupgrade, "uname -a" results still is 16.04.1 [03:43] colin-udo: is "uname -a" your answer to my question? [03:43] And... thank you guiverc, MTecknology, I'll try to update to 18.04 [03:43] * MTecknology sighs [03:43] k- good luck [03:43] colin-udo, then I'd check your sources.list files being correct (you could pastebin them - or switch to another source) [03:44] guiverc: I suspect that's not the case. He probably already has everything updated. [03:44] colin-udo, `uname -a` doesn't tell me what i'm running - its kernel info; try `lsb_release -a` [03:44] If they bothered to answer my question... I'd know. [03:45] colin-udo, you'll probably find 16.04.1 is your machine name or something (not ubuntu version)... [03:45] uname tells you what you're running, but it's telling you about the kernel, not the distro [03:45] MTecknology, yep - I just came to that conclusion too! [03:45] oh... thx a lot! in 'lsb_release -a', it is ubuntu 16.04.4 >.< [03:45] is there a gui for your drivers in ubuntu? [03:45] sorry >.< [03:46] colin-udo: it helps when you bother to answer questions that people ask........ [03:46] colin-udo, no probs - thanks for letting us know :) [03:47] RobInTaHood193: by "drivers" you mean kernel modules. No, there's not a gui that I'm aware of for loading/unloading kernel modules. It's likely your modlist is very short so this is a good time to learn about the cli. [03:50] my sound drivers stopped working and I am trying to rest them? [03:51] restarting the machine is time consuming. [03:52] do you really believe it's your "sound driver" that stopped working? [03:52] Well, what else could it be? I am still able to chat here so my ram is good. [03:53] ehm... you think being able to chat on IRC means your RAM is good? [03:53] RobInTaHood193, I'd suggest looking in pulse audio control (pavucontrol) - I usually find when my sound is 'gone' its muted in the last field - an easy fix is switching 'stereo to off' then 'back to your wanted' - it works for me (when I hit the wrong keys that mute it anyway) [03:53] Do you not now how a computer works? everything on your screen and running in the background is on your RAM. [03:54] / pulse audio volume control in last.. [03:54] guiverc: Did pulse replace alsa in ubuntu? If so, do you happen to know when that happened? [03:55] RobInTaHood193: It is very common for there to be problems with RAM that only cause small subtle problems, that's why we have comprehensive memory testers and why it's sometimes recommended to run them for hours to be sure that RAM is good, as even when being explicitly tested sometimes RAM problems occur only rarely. === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar [03:56] MTecknology: Pulseaudio doesn't replace ALSA, it runs on top of ALSA. [03:56] I don't have alsa at all on my system... [03:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio - its not in all versions; lubuntu doesn't use it i believe.. and i don't know when it became 'standard' (except kernels expect it; as well as some software..) [03:56] If your theory is correct Jordan_U, what should I do? [03:57] MTecknology: I doubt that. [03:57] RobInTaHood193: He didn't state a theory... just a fact about hardware [03:57] RobInTaHood193: I don't have a theory as to why you're having audio problems. [03:58] Jordan_U: Am I missing something if I do "dpkg --get-selections | grep -i alsa" and see nothing? [03:58] My theory is, you screwed something up... [03:59] Well, lots of "scientist" have theories based on no merit. [03:59] MTecknology: Do you hear sound from your computer? What version of Ubuntu are you using? Do you have ubuntu-desktop or any other *-desktop metapackages installed? [03:59] RobInTaHood193: Do you want to whine and argue or do you want help? [04:00] Jordan_U: The way I understood it, also could feed into pulse, but both pulse and alsa could stand by themselves. I (now only think) I've been running without alsa for a few years now,. [04:01] I don't use ubuntu personally, just for work stuff. I'm on Debian 9 with pulseaudio, slim, and openbox [04:01] sound seems to work fine and I can't find any trace of alsa [04:04] MTecknology: That's odd. I'm not sure what to make of that. Would you mind joinin #debian (here on freenode, not on oftc) so we can continue this discussion? [04:05] the one on thiiiiis network?!! :'( [04:05] fiiiiiiin. === gms is now known as Guest72939 [04:12] since you don't like pastebin... and also to prove the kernels are not installed --> http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0IJOFM [04:15] I /did/ mention dpaste.com, but ya, that's much better.

[04:17] well, that shows a whole different story now.... [04:17] http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0IJOFN [04:23] Dj_FlyBy: so- after you fix that, does your problem go away? [04:24] I wouldn't know how to fix that. Never encountered this before [04:25] I suppose, in that case, it's a good thing someone shared a link (above) with you that explains the process in details. [04:49] after running " update-initramfs -d -k " on each of the non installed kernels all is back to normal. [04:49] everything before that in the article kept failing [04:56] The issue was my cpu. [04:57] launched sys monitor and played videos in different modes and found that when in full screen mode it taxed the cpu [05:04] Hey there. For some reason my laptop hangs before the Ubuntu logo (loading screen) shows up. Any idea on how to debug what might be the cause? [05:06] boriseto: i'd suggest using to edit your grub line that boots your system, on the linux line remove 'quiet splash' (splash causes the plymouth ubuntu logo/video to show instead of boot messages; quiet reduces most of the messages - you want them to debug) & then boot... [05:07] guiverc: got it, will do, thanks [05:08] boriseto: you'll find your system still hangs; but you'll have an idea on where/why... useful to debug yourself, plus here (with others helping)... === guiverc is now known as guiverc_w [05:31] I'm using Ubuntu server 18.04, and I'm having trouble with an ethernet interface not coming up during boot, even though it's configured with a static IP. [05:31] The interface (enp1s0f0) is connected to a device that may or may not be on [05:32] But I'd expected that giving it a static IP (via Netplan) would mean it's configured and up no matter what's happening at the other end of the cable (this was the behaviour under ifupdown) [05:33] as a result, my DHCP server refuses to run (because there are no interfaces with the appropraite subnet when it starts) [05:34] detly: might want to turn off ifplugd or whatever ubuntu uses to detect if an interface is "running" rather than merely up [05:35] I don't think that's even installed [05:35] nope, it isn't === shawn is now known as Guest70165 [06:32] boriseto: you can also press F1 to see textbooting, to see where it freezes perhaps?

[08:11] my other computer updated from 1604 to 1804 and no problem with the bridge there [08:11] see netplan.io, there are examples and docs there [08:11] i deleted networkmanager [08:15] . [08:15] Huh [08:15] Hmmm [08:20] what are probabilities to random freezing that doesn't occur on windows? And doesn't show up in syslog [08:25] I am in dire need of HELP, I have been using UBUNTU 16.04 for last 2 months since I ditch windows 10. Today I had some software update or system update which allowed to ran. Shutdown and when came back asking for language and new user setup. I lost my user profile I had and data. [08:25] I have no idea what hppened. [08:26] I think i configured my pc as a system configurator [08:27] I hope i can find my data [08:27] If it's not Kernel Panic, you not going to see lost in system log [08:28] I dual boot Windows 10 and Fedora now but I don't mind offering the litter expertise I can [08:28] How do I recover my User profile I have lost [08:28] There is NO user profile [08:28] What doesn't work, check where they save that information, then contact those auto of developers [08:28] There is no Registry [08:29] Most software put stuff in .config [08:29] But it's sparse and not assume that's wholesale where you all save information [08:29] Libvert Qemu , Guest and the one i just created but the old user is gone [08:30] kashi: Man, I never checked, but the data is save as root in / somewhere [08:30] I don't know where that is, I use virt-manager [08:30] I never looked into, perhaps some settings is saved in $HOME [08:31] kashi: What do you have for the data disk? [08:31] That should change, you can boot, even you distributions? [08:31] i only had one disk drive where i installed the Ubuntu [08:31] shouldn't* [08:32] I mean disk image [08:32] Just re-create it and choose image as your default boot disk [08:32] Problem solved [08:32] I have no idea where to begin. [08:33] virt-manager? [08:33] I have lost 2 months of WORK [08:33] kashi: does 'ls /home' show your old username? [08:33] 100 of files [08:33] hold let me check [08:34] no [08:34] my previous user was OEM [08:34] now it is new user what was just created after reboot [08:35] I can't beleive i have lost all my data without any system warning [08:36] there were some updates wanted to appy and i hit ok and asked to reboot [08:37] is there anyway any utility i can scan my hard drive for data [08:37] I am doomed [08:37] Launch virt-manager [08:37] you did have backups, right? [08:37] What did you choose for you location [08:37] such critical data of 2 months of work is lost [08:38] I do not want to go back to windows [08:38] From I am reading, no one taught you how to use Libvirt properly [08:38] please someone help [08:38] what does virt-manager have to do with this? [08:38] virt-manager is the defacto interface for Libvirt [08:39] what is this libvert qemu log on with password i don't know [08:39] i know that, but he doesn't have an issue with libvirt afaict [08:40] You store the data in root only folder [08:40] yes i think [08:40] By default, so it won't be in $HOME [08:40] i store data in default folders like downloads, documents pictures [08:40] I mean, libvirt store date in root only folder [08:41] how do i log on libvert-Qemu [08:41] kashi: the libvirt user is a system user, not intended to be logged in as [08:42] kashi: this is trather unclear - did you loose a guest(disk), or a user in a guest, or just a user on the host? [08:42] how is it possible that some system update overwrite my previous user profile [08:42] it is not [08:42] with new one that was created after reboot [08:43] something is going on, but your description and the discussion is not yet clear enough to actually help you [08:43] user on the host [08:43] I never used guest [08:43] what do you mean by user profile, some user foo and /home/foo is now no more after the update? [08:43] when i first install Ubuntu it asked me to create the user [08:44] He doesn't know how to access the DISK [08:44] IE, IMAGE disk [08:44] and this time after 2 months some update asked me to do the same after reeboot [08:44] Some how, his /home folder [08:44] Bugzie: it sounds like no virtualization at all to me so afr [08:45] so i created a new user and boom i have nothing now softwares i had installed [08:45] Not the entire $HOME folder, parts of it got culrupted [08:45] no daata at all [08:45] But, he clueless [08:45] He needs a bit hand holding [08:45] ack [08:46] I am on fedora, I wouldn't mind doing it, but it might be different here [08:47] can i ran a system report and post it for someone to look at my system someone had me do this long time ago for a problem [08:47] I need Qemu myself because I do some coding and I use Linux Containers, Docker, and Qemu [08:47] i don't know how to ran [08:48] usually home dirs are skipped intentionally for having private data [08:48] sosreport would be such a tool and then make the tarball available [08:48] but since you look for things in /home something might be missing [08:49] @cpaelzer how do i do it [08:49] sosreport where is it [08:52] All the application I had installed are still available but like i ran Chrome but i do not have my bookmarks or anything. it is like running chrome first time. [08:53] yes, those would be stored in your homedir [08:54] Ubuntu (14.04 LTS and above) users install via apt: [08:54] sudo apt install sosreport [08:54] kashi [08:54] @SimonN HELP [08:54] https://github.com/sosreport/sos for info [08:54] Does Signal store cache files on the phone unencrypted? [08:55] kashi: you really don't want to be installing things if you should need to rescue data from the disk [08:55] munarkee: how would we know? [08:56] that being said, if you find out, ping me please? ; [08:56] :) [08:56] kashi: sorry ducasse is right [08:56] @SimonN @ducasse yes you are right but what i do at this time i am total lost [08:56] ppf, checking the data file? [08:56] /data file [08:57] SimonN , ducasse I have no clue what to do. [08:57] kashi: you could try photorec to see if it can recover some data for you [08:57] !recover | kashi [08:57] kashi: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [08:58] do ubutu has restore point like windows [08:58] no, it doesn't [08:59] ducasse do i need to install photorec via terminal interface [08:59] kashi: yes, or use a live image (which is probably better) [08:59] But Signal is an exncrypted messaging app [09:01] Hi all, is the https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/developers download from here different to the normal one ? [09:03] Tazmain: follow the link, it takes you to the standard download [09:03] I still have ubutu on my USB so when i boot , i select usb right once i am up and running from usb i should go search for photorec in applications and istall it via Terminal interface [09:03] i wonder if kashi was using (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview) temporary user account - OEM was mentioned previously [09:03] ikonia oh thought the ISO might have some extra stuff on [09:03] sorry ignore my last... [09:04] guiverc_d: that might be something, i didn't see that [09:04] @guiverc_d when i installed ubutu it says something about system configurator account and I let the process continue [09:05] Tazmain: follow the link, it's the same actual iso [09:05] ikonia I did, downloading it [09:05] YES YES I installed it as OEM installed for Manufacture [09:06] so you can see it's actually the same ISO and the same link, but you thought it maybe magically different even though it's the same URL and ISO [09:06] OMG did i made a blunder [09:06]
