[00:02] I'm using a new (used) laptop for first time. Normally, in indicator-multiload, you can put your mouse over the app icon at top of the screen and adjust what monitored resources you see there by scrolling the mouse wheel while over it. How do I do that on a ThinkPad? [00:03] nevermind... just realized this is probably off-topic here... gotta find a general hardware channel [00:03] Can someone help me with my Nvidia please, its is integrated Nvidia, it was working fine and then suddenly stopped after switching to Intel graphics. I have tried like 5 drivers 396 - 380 - 340 all the same. Models when doing (lsmod |grep nvidia) are loaded but still cannot open Nvidia settings and cannot do switch. === john_ is now known as Guest16599 [00:29] I am doing a do-release-upgrade, but I cannot access my Xorg tty anymore, or rather, XFCE won't load windows. [00:29] So I cannot see how it is going. [00:29] But I can see in htop that I have a 100% CPU usage across my 4 cores. [00:31] Doing a sudo apt-command indicates that it is still locked. Is there a way I can check whether it is safe enough to reboot? === Tin__man is now known as Tin_man [00:31] svip: it's not, if your cpus are busy [00:31] svip: did you see in top/htop *what* is using your cores? [00:31] nacc: But it's mostly XFCE-programs that are taking CPU time. [00:31] svip: also from what to what were you upgrading? [00:31] Such as xfce4-panel, xfce4-terminal, etc. and Xorg. [00:32] nacc: From 16.04 to 18.04 LTS. [00:32] svip: that's not currently supported [00:32] svip: dunno if it's well-tested yet by the xubuntu folks [00:33] nacc: Yeah, but my laptop shouldn't behave like this, even if the upgrade isn't supported. [00:35] svip: well, dunno if that's accurate [00:35] svip: the upgrade process itself may be broken and doing something funky [00:36] nacc: It seems more like Xorg/XFCE is actually hogging all the resources. The dpkg-process seems to be sleeping. [00:36] BaKKaR: In replacing the driver .. did you remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file ? and is secure boot disabled ? [00:37] Why should nm-applet or xfce-session run at 100%? [00:38] Bashing-om: i did not try that. However, i have run Nvidia-xconfg which then replaced - supposedly - the xorg-.conf in the process [00:40] i have got a problem. If i start a browser, firefox or chromium e.g, then it crashes immediately after seconds I have already tried some cleaning commands in the terminal. Error remains [00:41] BaKKaR: I just do not have faith in Nvidia-xconfg after the fact on a new install . I feel the better if the file is built in the install process . personal feeling is all . EFI machine where secure boot must be disabled ? [00:41] svip: possibly because they are being replaced, etc. [00:42] svip: in any case, you could try rebooting whenever you want, but it seems likely you'll need to repair your system manually [00:42] any ideas? [00:42] Bashing-om: i am using normal boot, UEFI is off/disabled [00:43] Bashing-om: r u suggesting to purge nvidia all and then removing the xorg.config file , then reboot and reinstall the drivers again .. is that the right sequence? [00:43] BaKKaR: EFI will not discern how you are booting - if enabled it will do it's job to not allow 3rd party software . [00:44] i can double check th BIOS, but the UEFI is OFF .. and i dont have the UEFI drive .. all that removed already. [00:45] BaKKaR: were me and what I do .. is make sute the system is fullt ipdated and allow the system to choose the driver it thinks best to install ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . [00:45] i eant no UEFI partition in my HDD setup and it is disabled [00:46] sure* [00:47] nacc: OK. But it should be possible to repair? [00:47] Even if manually. [00:48] Bashing-om: ok it is downloadning now, should i remove all nvidia drivers i have now already before it continues? [00:49] BaKKaR: There can be only one ! I always remove the bad driver before getting the replacement . [00:50] Bashing-om: yeah, i have noticed the command u suggested is removing the old one already [00:50] i am going to go ahead and try [00:51] BaKKaR: :) will not hurt to try . [00:51] Bashing-om: :) [00:51] * BaKKaR crossing his fingers [00:52] svip: in theory, yes [00:57] Bashing-om: i have done and rebooted now .. should i try the Nvidia-xconfig? [00:58] BaKKaR: No, that file should have been built .. you can check for /etc/X11/Xorg.conf . [00:59] BaKKaR: What releas is this .. as seems in 18.04 that file has moved ??? [00:59] release* [00:59] Bashing-om: i could find it in /etc/x11/xorg.config [00:59] Bashing-om: what should i look for there? [01:00] X11 .. else you get an empty file [01:00] BaKKaR: looks sane ? with entries for both nvidia and Intel in that config file ? [01:00] and config .. > conf [01:00] oerheks: thx [01:01] Bashing-om: i could see entries for both yes, intel and Nvidia. Also in the X11 folder i could find another file called xorg.config.nvidia.... [01:03] hello? i cant mount my sd card. im geting an error message [01:03] Error mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /media/ricky/CC23-17B3: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/mmcblk0p1" "/media/ricky/CC23-17B3"' exited with non-zero exit status 2: [01:03] stdout: `FUSE exfat 1.0.1 [01:03] ' [01:03] stderr: `BUG: failed to read 512 bytes from file at 0. [01:03] i never had problems in the past [01:04] Bashing-om: lsmod does not show any loaded nvidia modules now .. it was before :-/ [01:04] BaKKaR: Do not know about xorg.config.nvidia - have never seen it .. can not see though that it will affect Xorg.conf . [01:05] Bashing-om: no worries, it has the same entries the xconfig has .. so i think xorg.conf is built alright [01:05] BaKKaR: Let's see what is installed ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' . [01:06] Bashing-om: nvidia-396 and opencl-396 [01:07] BaKKaR: pastebin ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' . See what the manager has to relate . [01:08] under 18.04, is Flash player plugin installed in Firefox by default? [01:10] Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/vcREVb6i .. thank you [01:12] RoadRunner, no. flash is part of the restricted extras package [01:13] nacc: It went A-OK! [01:13] My system is now running smoothly again and is upgraded. [01:13] oerheks: in that case, is there an open source equivalent that allows to view flash content like video's, etc? [01:14] standard html5 in firefox/chrome should work, for most flash content [01:14] but flash is dead. hurray [01:16] anyone able to help? [01:17] BaKKaR: Still reading -- nut we got to adress this " Is nvidia blacklisted? yes" . [01:17] but* [01:17] Bashing-om: yes i was googling that now :) [01:19] oerheks: what about that flash content that isn't read by standard html5, what should I get for that? [01:22] %n =Andres [01:27] BaKKaR: Well, we know we have isues to overcome :) in small steps let's begin with the blacklisting . pastebin ' ls -al /etc/modprobe.d/ ' and ' cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf ' . [01:35] so is there an open source player capable of playing that type of flash content that standard html5 in firefox can't handle? [01:38] RoadRunner: You mean like Pepper Flash? [01:43] RoadRunner: This : ' apt show adobe-flashplugin ' ? [01:43] Bashing-om: i am really gratefull for your patiance :) :) [01:44] Is Wayland ready for Xubuntu/XFCE? [01:45] Bashing-om: i have checked the directory and it does not contain that *.old-dpkg mentioned on some online forum [01:45] Does Wayland have any benefits ? [01:45] BaKKaR: Hey ,, I too am in that learning process ! .. each and every one of us . So where are we ? I be awaitin g to lkook at what is blacklisted . [01:46] sure .. in a second [01:46] WoC, yep wayland has benefits (it wouldn't exist otherwise), but .... refer https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland maybe [01:46] WoC: It is what will be .. I find it smoother and faster than X11 - there are many apps that are not to this time ported over . [01:47] svip: No, xfce will not be a part of wayland . [01:47] just that it seems to be a very long list of things not working with it [01:48] Bashing-om: OK, thank you. [01:48] Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/p5eugYE1 [01:48] Bashing-om, amd graphics ? [01:50] WoC: I run wayland and with the nouveau driver no isues .. there is a lot of effort in nvidia's 396 driver to support wayland . [01:51] Bashing-om, not an option for me, i use OpenCL [01:51] but ty [01:53] Chicken_Wrap: Bashing-om: under 16.04 my Firefox has a plugin called Shockwave Flash and everything works fine (I am guessing it's a adobe-flash one - not sure). Don't remember how I isntalled it either... [01:55] BaKKaR: We do have our work cut out for us, huh ? .. OK .. seems BumbleBee is still a factor . depreciated in favor of nvidia-prime . ' sudo apt purge bumble* ' .... and does this file exist - /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf - ? [01:55] RoadRunner: They’re not the same. [01:56] Chicken_Wrap: so what should I go with under 18.04 to have rock solid compatibility? [01:57] RoadRunner: I find just installing Pepper Flash works well enough. Never really had problems with it, but I don’t use Flash much anyway. Just the occasional video off a shitty web player and maybe a game once in a blue moon. [01:57] svip, maybe of interest (xfce & wayland) .. https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/73gihm/are_there_any_plans_for_xfce_on_wayland/ [01:59] Chicken_Wrap: so is Pepper Flash a plugin for Firefox like Shockwave Flash? [01:59] guiverc: Thank you. [02:00] You installthe package and that’s about it. [02:07] Bashing-om: i have installed prime now === coffeemug is now known as coffeemug-rick [02:07] what's the diff btw adobe-flashplugin and Shockwave Flash plugin? [02:08] BaKKaR: ' cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [02:08] BaKKaR: And we start hunting for why nvidia is blacklisted . [02:09] Shockwave is for .swf [02:10] Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/p5eugYE1 i have looked into it .. nothing mentioned about nvidia [02:13] Hello. 8-) [02:13] Bashing-om: i found this nvidia file in the modprobe.d and has some nvdia driver and mdes blackisted tho https://pastebin.com/SeaDvBXf [02:13] hi [02:16] BaKKaR: Agreed, the blacklisting is not there- oh boy .. where to look ? .. does this file still exist ' /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf ' ? [02:18] BaKKaR: those ^ blacklistings are acceptable . [02:19] Bashing-om: hmmmm i am skimming through the other modprobe.d files .. bumblebee is not there [02:20] BaKKaR: /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf. ? [02:20] Bashing-om: i am thinking .. in the nvidia version before this one, nvidia-48x the lsmod could show nvidia mods loaded .. but not this one .. could it be a driver not fitting? [02:21] Bashing-om: no bumbelbee directory there .. we have just removed the package [02:21] :-/ [02:22] we have switched from bumbel to prime [02:24] BaKKaR: We know that the driver did not build . as it is blacklisted - somewhere . There *May* be other reasons why the driver did not build . I would also like to see the kernel's boot line ' cat /proc/cmdline ' . [02:26] BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-45-generic root=UUID=e2558203-8cf7-43b0-adca-e88ad8c027ad ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [02:29] Bashing-om: What i am thinking is that 396 is not "yet" fitting for my graphics nvidia m840. So, perhaps i need to o backwards to older drivers? [02:29] correct me pls [02:31] BaKKaR: will only take a tic to verify .. pastebin - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - and i cross reference the card . [02:34] Bashing-om: YG sir https://pastebin.com/dBJqb5CC [02:36] BaKKaR: nvidia do recommend the 390 driver : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/134859/en-us . [02:37] Bashing-om: uhaa .. let me downgrade then, right? === ptx0_ is now known as ptx0 [02:38] BaKKaR: Wont hurt to try :) .. I still advocate to ' sudo apt purge nvidia ; sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ' . [02:40] Bashing-om: shoud i reboot after that before new install? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [02:40] BaKKaR: Might be good too to see what ' sudo apt autoremove ' will remove . [02:41] Bashing-om: will try now all that .. thank u ... will be back in a gif [02:41] BaKKaR: No, I can see no point in rebooting after the purge . but to reboot after the install yes, for the driver to take effect . [02:41] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'nvidia.log' [02:41] O_o [02:42] BaKKaR: Umphhh .. pastebin so I get the full context . [02:43] i was trying to install .. i tried CTRL-C t stop the download and tried to purge first when i got this error [02:43] one min .. i should not bother u with this small one [02:44] :) [02:49] lol so i accidentally rsynced to a /mnt/ location that i hadnt mounted yet [02:49] i wonder where the files went :o [02:49] Mibix: nice [02:50] Mibix: somewhere in /mnt I bet :) [02:50] hi [02:51] weird it like made a directory there but i cant delete it [02:51] or umount it :o [02:58] Bashing-om: thank you for waiting .. so i have removed "pured' the nvidia and when tried to remove xorg.conf it was not there after removing nvidia [02:58] reboted now .. anything to check before getting the new driver install? [02:59] this isnt exactly ubuntu related (however i am using ubuntu 18.04) but if my port forwarding is all setup properly and i can view my webserver via LAN but WAN it doesnt respond does it mean my ISP blocked my port? even though it worked yesterday and no settings have changed? [03:00] Biessie: have you checked your firewall logs? [03:01] TimeDoctor : im newb to *nix so no [03:01] i dont think i have a firewall enabled TBH on my box [03:01] Biessie: and how are you accessing it from the WAN? by your public ip address? [03:01] BaKKaR: Nope - install and we see what is :P [03:02] TimeDoctor : i tried both IP address as well as my noip dynamic dns [03:02] i have the DUC client installed [03:02] lol so wait if i copy something to /mnt/whatever and whatever isnt mounted it just creates a directory there? [03:02] would they copy to my OS's drive then? [03:03] * BaKKaR rubbing the dice now Bashing-om and baming the KDE for it. :) [03:03] I am trying to change network adapter config on ubuntu 18.04, and notice the message in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml that says changes wil not persist [03:03] Where is the correct place to configure your network static settings now? [03:03] Mibix: yes if you don't have something mounted it'll copy to the local drive [03:06] If I add something like 01-netcfg.yaml with a new network config, do I need to delete 50-Cloud-init.yml? [03:07] TimeDoctor : You would think my ISP blocked my port as of yesterday? [03:09] Gobo708: See if: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-set-dns-nameservers-in-ubuntu-server-18-04/ sheds some light . [03:09] Bashing-om, Thank you!

[03:12] Bashing-om: how i can eve thank you :) [03:12] *ever [03:12] it was a driver version issue :( [03:12] tried them all and it was 390 :) :) [03:13] Bashing-om: one last favour plz, how i can lock it so it wont upgrade in future to 396 ? [03:19] BaKKaR: Is it a package? [03:19] Chicken_Wrap: yes, i want to lock the nvidia-390 and similar nvidia driver reated packages not to upgrade [03:19] BaKKaR: :) I have never locked the proprietary driver ,, no idea ,, but to be honest I bet it was something blocking the install (BumbleBee residue ??) . I would not worry over an update . [03:19] *related [03:21] sudo apt-mark hold [03:21] @BaKKaR [03:21] Bashing-om: thank you so much [03:21] Chicken_Wrap: thank you yummy [03:22] sudo apt-mark unhold to reverse [03:22] np [03:22] BaKKaR: Glad2help ,, we are all in this together .

[04:14] OH === ayl1ah is now known as MyNt1a [04:15] of course, the_seeker [04:15] But is it recommended though? [04:15] the_seeker: I do not know about VBox, but I know it can be done with KVM (I have one Windows 10 Pro KVM instance) [04:15] With virtual box you are limiting windows with inferior hardware emulator [04:15] You cannot play modern 3D games etc with using it in virtual box [04:16] vbox doesn't run exactly the same as an actual installation, e.g. graphics. if your needs are modest and sparing, I'd say do it. [04:16] right [04:16] if he wants it for application and business sure [04:16] but for gaming [04:16] nope [04:16] exactomundo!

In fact, you are right, this is an off-topic question, if compared to a regular technical question related to ubuntu linux support [05:13] thanks for showing me #ubuntu-discuss [05:16] now, a technical question, guiverc: is that possible I using ZFS in Ubuntu natively, running in the linux kernel directly, withou dkms module use need ? [05:23] rorqual: you should avoid directing questions to a person, I can't answer zfs questions, and others may now overlook your question because it mentions me.. [05:24] yes, guiverc, you are right again, thank you for warning ! [05:27] Does anyone know of a good utility for optimizing the filling of DVD/BluRay disks? Like, being able to give it a target capacity size, and having it sort directories of media optimally for that capacity size for ubuntu? [05:28] i installed 18.04 on a new machine (i was previously using 16.04), and have a question about the Gnome 3 dock: with Unity when you clicked on an icon on the dock, it used to tile all the open windows for just that app. Gnome 3 only shows small thumbnails when you click an app icon, but the activities screen tiles all the open windows - is there a way to make it tile windows per application type, instead of [05:28] tiling all windows from all apps? [05:31] furkan: you can adjust this from dconf-editor i think [05:31] TabMasher: i can't answer your question directly, but from a terminal if you navigate to the parent directory where your media is stored, type "du -hd1" and it'll tell you how big each child directory is [05:32] furkan: dconf-editor for bionic has also improved nicely [05:32] lotuspsychje: thanks for the lead, will see if i can find a relevant setting [05:33] furkan: I have a windows app called BTTB (Burn to the brim) that does that for over a decade now, but I'm astounded that such a utility has escaped the linux comminity.

[07:16] hey blackflow you here [07:17] anyone else here [07:22] Yes [07:25] do you know how to use UNetbootin [07:25] im trying to creating a bootable drive for ubuntu Jonta [07:26] Jonta: should i use bootable drive maker instead? [07:28] don't use unetbootin, it's known to have problems. i'd just use dd or plain old cp. [07:28] ok [07:28] if you want a gui, etcher is supposed to work well [07:36] in 4.1 is there a way to lock the reference image to viewport? [07:41] ducasse: for some reason im trying to partition my ssd and when i click partition it stalls and then it randomly quits on me. What do you think could be the problem? [07:42] oops wrong chan =D [07:43] purpleunicorn: i don't know, can you try booting in 'try ubuntu' mode and partition with for example gparted? [07:44] idk maybe but idk how to do that [07:44] do you think its because my ssd has no storage. I mean it sayes 251gb and its all blue so i think i have no space [07:46] take a screenshot [07:46] arlight [07:46] alright* [07:47] EriC^^: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/JxKU6BYc/Screen%20Shot%202018-06-26%20at%203.47.08%20AM.png [07:49] looks like its full [07:49] you want to erase it all and put ubuntu on it? [07:51] i dont even know why its full. i lost a lot of files and such a year ago and haven't had that much stuff on it since. I also have an external hard drive so maybe i could dump most of the stuff thats on that on my hard drive. I just wanted to partition twice and make one for linux and ubuntu to make the bootable flash drive [07:52] EriC^^: i used vbox for ubuntu and gave me a lot of problems which is why i wanted to do this instead [07:54] i see [07:55] EriC^^: how would i be able to free up the space for the SSD [07:56] if this is on a mac you should probably shrink the partition from mac os [07:57] purpleunicorn: you can copy all the stuff to your external one and then repartition it from scratch, or you can shrink it like ducasse said and leave some of the stuff on it [07:58] EriC^^: which is better? [07:58] how do i shrink it exactly? mac os ssd has 138.68gb of free space [07:59] purpleunicorn: take a look here http://osxdaily.com/2009/11/20/resize-partitions-in-mac-os-x-with-disk-utility/ [08:03] EriC^^: thanks [08:03] yw [08:05] for some reason when i put my external hard drive in time machine doesnt tell me if its backing up or even in progress [08:07] we don't support mac os, so we can't help with that [08:07] furkan: https://sourceforge.net/projects/filesfitter/ [08:08] ok [08:10] ducasse: what do i do if the volume has space but the external physical disk doesnt? what does that mean? [08:11] purpleunicorn: probably that there is space for more files, but no unallocated space for new partitions [08:12] okay [08:19] Hi, I am back with a pertinent question. Why the GNOME network manager does not have a option to create a DSL connection. "sudo pppoeconf" does not work [08:20] i still don't get why i can't partition mine. The guy in the video is able to partition his even though its pretty full like mine... [08:23] !partitioning | purpleunicorn start here [08:23] purpleunicorn start here: For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap [08:24] apparently i can't partition because of my macbook. its an apfs version and sometimes these types of macs don't let you partition...idk [08:26] maybe u need t opartition it in a different way [08:26] dunno [08:26] i use partition software when possible [08:26] but dunno about mac [08:27] pppoeconf does not work always and I have to run the command "pon dsl-provider" to authenticate with my isp. My connection sometimes drops and remains so for 30 mins. Although I have check marked " Automatically connect to this network when available" still it fails to autheticate when my link comes back I remain disconnected for the entire night and my downloads get affected. [08:29] i hate how ubuntu and mac's are incompatible [08:29] smh [08:32] i am here [08:32] well. dont expect much help in here. i think ubuntu is he best linux system. but some people in here a real snobs [08:34] yeah i can tell rush [08:35] reminds me assetto corsa, fantistic game, real snob community [08:35] puppy linux is probably harder to ge tthings installed on than ubuntu, but i find it less painful, cos the community are nice [08:35] rush: lol [08:35] this lot in here.. i dont know [08:35] yeah idk either [08:36] someone on #macosx is telling me not to put ubuntu on mac without vm because its not good for macs or some shit [08:37] hello [08:37] ? [08:37] maybe true. i had to use vm in ubuntu everytime i wanted to try it out a few years back.. but now it finnaly seems good enuff to use standalone.. in pc [08:37] maybe mac not quite there yet [08:37] hi kiri === Richard is now known as Guest489 [08:38] richard guest [08:39] rush: they're never there when it comes to making other systems compatible with macs [08:39] i hear you.. yes linux is free, but it has a tiny userbase for a reason. its too hard to do stuff basically and terminal ect is not 'so easy my gran can do it' despite what the fanboys tell you [08:40] still, ubnuntu is better theses days as i say.. but not perfect [08:40] super os when it works and doe swat u want, super [08:41] yeah [08:43] furkan: Thank you again for the info. Much appreciated. [08:43] anyone know how to clone my sytem? [08:43] im running o fa usb stick [08:43]
