[00:00] Hmm, good metaphor. [00:01] SJr: i thnk it has the Cloud-init" package installed by default, which makes it easier to adding it to 'the cloud' with canonicals cloud stack. you can just uninstall this package, and this file should be gone. i think netplan doesn't come with a (main) a configuration file by default, you are supposed to create it, or start with a template. [00:02] excellent [00:06] Well, installation finished. [00:06] But it still gave me GRUB shell when I power on the computer. [00:07] Windows 10 boots normally (If I select W10 boot from UEFI setup). [00:07] Sir_Andrei: what do you need to do to get to the grub shell then? [00:08] Just power on the computer. [00:08] When I power it on it give me the grub shell. [00:08] I know how to boot Ubuntu from it. [00:08] Sir_Andrei: well then note those stpes down and make them permanent [00:08] *steps [00:09] Nice, one moment, I'll boot it. [00:09] i told you the same 2 hours ago ;) === ec0 is now known as jhebden === Sven__ is now known as Sven_vB === jhebden is now known as ec0 [00:12] Yea, but remember my grub has broken then XD. [00:14] Nice, I've booted it. [00:14] So now..., I have to update grub (update-grub), right' === ec0 is now known as jhebden [00:15] is ubuntu driver manager a part of gnome desktop are these two things sepparate and unrelated? [00:16] Updated. [00:16] specifically, is the driver manager the same on ubuntu and xubuntu? [00:16] But when I try with grub-install /dev/sda it says "Warning, this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. [00:17] grub-install: error: will not prceed with blocklists. [00:17] RoadRunner: it's a command line utility ("ubuntu-drivers", "jockey" in past releases), and there are gtk and qt based GUIs for it [00:18] Sir_Andrei: you installed grub to a partition? [00:18] that's no longer supported (never really was well supported) [00:18] tomreyn, directly to /dev/sda [00:19] "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [00:20] where do I find my grub menu.lst file? [00:20] Sir_Andrei: which ubuntu release is this again? [00:20] Lubuntu 18.04 (amd64). [00:20] BlackDalek: menu.lst is grub legacy 0.9*, we're using grub 2 (1.9*) now, which uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:21] tomreyn, thank you [00:21] BlackDalek: this file is generated (overwritten automatically) by "update-grub" [00:22] am having problems with webcams working with diff apps under diff xubuntu versions and wondering if it could be the driver or driver manager and if getting Linux Mint Driver Manager may help? [00:22] Sir_Andrei: is there more output or just this one line? [00:22] tomreyn, I am having an issue where grub menu is not skipping. I have only one OS (16.04) installed, yet it waits indefinitely on grub menu at boot up until I press enter [00:22] Hmm, i can paste it on pastebin, one moment. [00:23] ... [00:23] BlackDalek: edit the timeout option in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub [00:25] tomreyn, I tried that. I set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=2 and ran update-grub but it still pauses at grub menu until I press enter [00:26] BlackDalek: what is GRUB_TIMEOUT set to? [00:26] tomreyn, is there some other setting which is overriding the setting? [00:26] BlackDalek: also GRUB_DEFAULT [00:27] tomreyn, 0. [00:27] BlackDalek: both are set to 0? [00:27] tomreyn, GRUB_DEFAULT is also 0 [00:28] is GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE defined? [00:29] tomreyn, there is no such definition defined [00:30] tomreyn, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [00:30] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/svvNdQH7zD/ [00:31] BlackDalek: so GRUB_TIMEOUT is 0, right? [00:31] 10 is standard [00:32] tomreyn, yes, that's what it says in the file at /etc/default/grub [00:32] Hi again [00:32] https://pastebin.com/raw/b5fdwxNp [00:33] @tomreyn ^ [00:33] tomreyn, the only setting which has a numerical non-zero value is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=2 [00:33] BlackDalek: hmm, then i'm puzzled, with this configuration it should not show the grub menu by default, giving you 2 seconds to hit escape or shift to display it, by when it would remain waiting for user input [00:34] Is there anything else in the system which could override the settings in /etc/default/grub? [00:34] BlackDalek: that's all ubuntu defaults [00:34] BlackDalek: it's /etc/default/grub.cfg [00:34] did you miss .cfg? [00:35] oh wait, that's wrong. sorry [00:35] BlackDalek: /etc/default/grub is correct [00:35] tomreyn, the filename has no extension :) [00:35] BlackDalek: i mixed it up with /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:36] yep [00:36] BlackDalek: i'm not aware of anything e4lse which would modify the behaviour there. you could look through your generated grub.cfg though, and see what was written there [00:36] GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 ... [00:37] that is what mine gives [00:37] oerheks: so you have the menu diplayed by default? [00:38] no, it goes straight to the default entry [00:38] see the paste [00:38] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/svvNdQH7zD/ [00:38] and compare with yours? [00:41] mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WzS7bKp2ZM/ [00:41] oerheks, ok... I'm modifying my file to reflect yours. [00:42] i get no menu by default, there is a 2s timeout where i can activate the menu, then it waits for input [00:42] BlackDalek: maybe you edited /etc/grub.d/00_header ? [00:43] that's where the imtout is added when grub.cfg is created [00:43] *timeout [00:43] It is really necessary to reinstall GRUB? [00:44] tomreyn, I see your config has no GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=x line. Anyway, I am rebooting it now to see what oerheks config does [00:44] I mean, I have regenerated it, and I've done a grub-mkconfig. [00:44] If my computer starts giving me GRUB shell, I suppouse GRUB is already installed. [00:45] Let's restart... [00:45] Dah, GRUB Shell again. [00:45] Sir_Andrei: it means grub was loaded form *somewhere*, yes [00:46] you need to install the current version of grub to the device the computer will boot from once per grub version [00:47] ubuntu must be installed in uefi mode, right? else one needs to chroot an install from live iso and reinstall grub [00:47] @tomreyn, with grub-install? [00:47] * c/ booted in [00:47] BlackDalek: that's right. i commented out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 here (i think grub was always pointing out this should not be set when GRUB_TIMEOUT is a non-zero value) and it works fine this way. [00:47] well that was weird... during shutdown, I had a blinking underscore cursor in top left of blank screen for about 60 seconds before the machine restarted [00:48] ok.. now it's waiting at the grub menu again..... [00:48] Sir_Andrei: yes grub-install /dev/sdX (or whatever the raw device name is) === Sir_Andr` is now known as Sir_Andrei-2 [00:49] That's the result. [00:49] https://pastebin.com/raw/b5fdwxNp [00:49] it's gone longer than 10 seconds.... nothing is happening. [00:49] tomreyn, oerheks' config made no difference. I am still stuck at grub waiting for me to press enter. [00:50] BlackDalek: maybe you edited /etc/grub.d/00_header ? [00:51] tomreyn, I will now look to see if anything is at /etc/grub.d/00_header.... [00:52] Sir_Andrei-2: you are BIOS booting [00:52] That's new for me. [00:52] Sir_Andrei-2: and the grub which is loaded there cannot spot a bios_grub partition on the same device. [00:52] Hmm..., maybe cause it doesn't exists. [00:53] Well..., I'll create one with Gparted, one moment. [00:54] i agree that the uefi manual is poor, without proper images [00:54] tomreyn, the file 00_header appears to be a script. I am not sure what I am looking for. I have never edited this file myself. [00:56] BlackDalek: compare the relevant part to mine: grep timeout /etc/grub.d/00_header | pastebinit [00:56] BlackDex: here's mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q2fB3TVfcj/ [00:57] BlackDalek: can you also post your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [00:57] BlackDex: sorr,y not you [01:02] tomreyn, my 00_header's make_timeout () section looks completely different to yours. Hold on, I will pastebin some stuff [01:02] Sorry, I've lost connection. === Sir_Andr` is now known as Sir_Andrei === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit [01:06] tomreyn, my 00_header file https://pastebin.com/UFtzUqZS [01:10] tomreyn: "ubuntu-drivers devices" did not generate any drivers at all; what sources of proprietary drivers can I consider to resolve my webcam issues? === Comstock is now known as scrubs === scrubs is now known as Comstock [01:15] if drivers do not show prop drivers, you are fine [01:16] webcam issues, might be your pidgin 2.13 ?? [01:16] RoadRunner: ubuntu-drivers only provides some proprietary drivers, none for webcams. which webcam do you have there, what makes oyu think it doesn't work? [01:17] BlackDalek: i'm on 16.04, i think you're on 18.04 so it may well differ [01:17] sudo ubuntu-drivers list /// driver in use >> lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' [01:18] tomreyn, no.. this is a 16.04 system [01:22] tomreyn, I am getting my grub.cfg pastebinned now... hold on... [01:23] BlackDalek: your and my /etc/grub.d/00_header are identical [01:24] BlackDalek: maybe you should just uise the pastebinit command [01:24] !pastebinit | BlackDalek [01:24] BlackDalek: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [01:25] you can always pipe through grep -v or sed -e before you pass it to pastebinit in case you want to remove / replace / rewrite things. [01:25] !rootirc | rui_ [01:25] rui_: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [01:25] tomreyn, ok.., installing pastebinit [01:27] tomreyn, that makes things easier http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RrP8MZ3w74/ [01:30] tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wj2KMNHcrF/ === marve is now known as Guest64259 [01:33] BlackDalek: here's my timeout section on grub.cfg https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fmM6zwYZxP/ [01:34] compare it to the section starting line 76 in yours http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RrP8MZ3w74/ [01:35] as a reminder, this is my /etc/default/grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WzS7bKp2ZM/ [01:37] RoadRunner: which of these computers are you trying to fix? [01:37] tomreyn: both [01:37] RoadRunner: so computer 1 runs ubuntu 16.04.4 and computer 2 runs ubuntu 18.04.0 ? [01:37] tomreyn, so... what do I do now? Manually edit my grub.cfg file? [01:38] tomreyn: yes [01:39] BlackDalek: i guess i would check whent hose files were last modified and see whether this gives a hint on what might be wrong / not get updated. and then i would change settings in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub and see how this results in changes (or not) in /boot/grub/grub.cfg === metbsd1 is now known as metbsd [01:42] no video between versions can be expected. no video in skype ... does the webcamtool cheese do anything? [01:43] RoadRunner: about computer 1, you say the webcam works fine with cheese, so it works generally, so i won't try to help you make a non ubuntu pidgin release or a proprietary software 8skype) work, you're on your own. about computer 2 you say "video doesn't work under 'Cheese' or Skype but cam is seen and works fine under 'Camorama Webcam Viewer'". what do you mean by "video doesn't work"? that you don't get to see what ir being recorded by your [01:43] cam? [01:47] tomreyn, last modified about 1 hour ago [01:47] maybe the 18.04 machines are running a wayland session.. [01:47] RoadRunner: old, maybe somewhat outdated, but maybe also helpful webcam trouble shooting info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [01:47] BlackDalek: that's grub.cfg? so it gets updated. [01:48] tomreyn, and then last modified is current time immediately after running update-grub again [01:48] tomreyn: on comp1, I mentioned that I tried 3 ver's of pidgin one of which is an 'official' release for 16.04 with same end result. On comp2, by video doesn't work I mean there is no image at all (never mind recording) [01:48] BlackDalek: so try playing with the values in /etc/default/grub i guess === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:49] RoadRunner: comp1: okay, but it works in egneral, as you worked out with cheese, so it's not a generic issue. [01:50] okay so, im trying to setup a oracle vmware virtual box using ubuntu 16.06 i386 but when i launch it with the virtual machine it just freezes after a purple splash screen [01:50] it has a black cursor and doesnt go anywhere for hours [01:50] TeddyMurray: it is news to me that oracle has acquired vmware [01:51] well im glad i brought you some knowledge from under my rock [01:51] yay \0/ ... wait [01:51] TeddyMurray: i would claim those news are fake, though [01:51] tomreyn: in comp 1, cheese works, but that's all I can say about it, so I don't know where the problem lies: driver, pidgin or what [01:51] Here's a fun one - I have 2 machines, each with ssh, but neither I can set up port forwarding on. How can I ssh from machine A into machine B? [01:52] I do have root on both [01:52] TeddyMurray: i suspect the name of the software you are using is oracle virtualbox. [01:52] I'm trying to boot Ubuntui 18.04 LTS via libvirt/virsh but I get "could not read from cdrom (code 000c) [01:52] any ideas why this is ? [01:52] can anyone point me to a current guide of gpu passthrough with ubuntu 18.04? [01:52] i found out what was causing xorg to eat 20% cpu on mate [01:52] it was the sleep inhibitor applet [01:53] it was using 8% itself and made xorg go from 5% to 20% [01:53] TeddyMurray: also ubuntu 16.06 doesn't seem to exist. run "lsb_release -ds" to find out which version you have. [01:53] 16.04 typo [01:54] RoadRunner: must be with pidgin or what it uses to access the webcam signal [01:54] im on a windows machine running a vmware trying to install ubuntu to it [01:54] !md5 | BenderRodriguez [01:54] BenderRodriguez: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:54] TeddyMurray, check the host with vmware, enough vram and such? [01:55] hmm i put 2gb of vram [01:55] maybe that's too much? [01:56] TeddyMurray: so the software you are using is probably one of "vmware workstation" and "vmware server" and "vmware player" [01:56] 2 gb is more than required. most vmware users use premade vm's [01:56] i will look into premade vms [01:57] tomreyn: in comp 1 I had the best success with versions 2.12 and 2.13 because I could see myself from my webcam - implying maybe the problem was with transmition of video [01:59] RoadRunner: i have no knowledge in this area which i could provide you with [01:59] tomreyn: do you have working video under pidgin? [01:59] RoadRunner: i have neither pdgin nor a webcam [02:00] tomreyn: :) any suggestions for comp2? [02:01] have you tried with vlc? [02:01] vlc for video conferencing? [02:01] for testing access to the webcam signal [02:02] haven't used vlc for years and never with a webcam [02:02] or some of the other applications listed on the wiki page i pointed to === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit [02:04] this should be how you proceed: first you need to establish that the hardware is supported on this ubuntu version. then you try to make video in and output work with one application, then you can look into making it work with other appplications. [02:05] thank you for the link; I'll study it [02:05] run utilities from a terminal where possible so you'll get to see the entire output, which may help in diagnosing any issues [02:06] your gut feeling is that its not the driver responsible for cams? [02:06] I'd like to be able to activate/deactivate additional routes with network-manager similarly to how I can turn on/off VPNs. Is that possible. I know I can keep a separate ethernet/wifi/mobile data config with different routes, but that means I'll have to keep multiple configurations for each interface. Any ideas? [02:07] hola [02:07] TeddyMurray: just a broad guess, but you may need to boot with either nomodeset or vga=791 kernel parameters [02:07] hola [02:07] is their a command to know what services automatically start on bootup? [02:07] @tomreyn, I'd reinstalled Lubuntu (again...). [02:07] hola [02:07] I've made biosgrub partition in the process. [02:08] Rubencho, hablá inglés en esta sala (you must speak only english in this room). [02:08] spanis [02:08] En caso contrario decime por mp que buscás (use mp if u wanna speak our language). [02:08] RoadRunner: if something doesn't work with all the applications, then it can well be a linux kernel module issue. if something works with one application but not others then it is an issue with the other applications.

[03:05] i found out after installing lubuntu that my favorite emu retroarch does not work right on x11 anymore [03:06] or do i have to go and install ubuntu or ubuntu gnome? [03:11] Sir_Andrei: hmm, i'm not sure what exactly the problem is. i suspect grub does not install its core files to the bios_grub partition, which is also very large (1MB would be common). this partition needs ot be within the first 2TB of your HDD, but this is the case, your disk has just 1 TB capacity. and i further assume that because grub doesn't find the bios_grub partition it then fails to resolve the UUIDs provided in grub.cfg. [03:11] but this is just a theory really. [03:11] So... [03:12] Sir_Andrei: can you run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda 2>&1 | pastebinit; sudo parted /dev/sda print 2>&1 | pastebinit [03:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jXpvY8BtZ2/ [03:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/S8qw5zxQDd/ [03:14] [03:16] Sir_Andrei_s_bro: is this a 32-bit system?

[03:22] tomreyn: Also ' sudo lshw | grep "description: CPU" -A 12 | grep width [03:22] It says clearly whether it's 64 or 32 bits (may take a little while to finish). [03:22] Bashing-om: okay, but that's the cpu, not the mainboard's boot capability, right [03:23] Linux version 4.15.0-20-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-039) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018 [03:23] [03:23] (cat /proc/version) [03:23] your kernel is outdated, you'Re 3 or so verison sbehind. but this wont be why [03:24] ...hopefully [03:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Gg7pW7yzmk/ [03:24] [03:24] lscpu ^ [03:24] Yea, if I update it it will broke grub definitely hahahah [03:24] Remember I've tried that few hours ago. [03:24] that's indeed a 64-bit cpu [03:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kM8r7ncCmH/ [03:25] [03:25] Sir_Andrei_s_bro: ok [03:25] dmicode --type baseboard ^ [03:27] Sir_Andrei: so i think you should see again how you can boot the ubuntu installer in efi mode, not bios mode, which aou apprently did. [03:27] and then i think it would actually make boith ubuntu and windows work [03:28] You mean "install" on efi mode. [03:28] I'm booting from Lubuntu Live first. [03:28] Then installing. [03:29] Sir_Andrei: yes, i'm saying you need to start the lubuntu live/installer in efi mode, not bios [03:29] Thx, I'll try C: [03:29] no, that y50-70 seems to have normal 64 bit uefi. [03:30] how to crop images in ubuntu? [03:30] Rockwood, install gimp [03:30] Sir_Andrei: to detemrinewhetehr you have the latest bios version: sudo dmidecode --type bios | pastebinit [03:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/f9hQ6PQ8c5/ [03:31] [03:32] Sir_Andrei: if you enter bios, check what "boot mode" item in "boot" table is set to, is it "uefi" or "legacy support" [03:32] One moment. I'll restart the baby. [03:32] Rockwood: there is a nautilus package to resize images too [03:33] Sir_Andrei: you have bios version 9ECN31WW from 2014, the latest is 9ECN43WW(V3.03) from 2015 according to https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-y-series-laptops/y50-70-notebook-lenovo/downloads/ds100998 [03:33] hi, i have ubuntu 14.04 installed in my machine and the monitor HDMI turns off and some times turns on again... any idea? [03:33] Hi all I recently attempted a macbuntu transformation and I can't get compizconfig to load different windows animations. I tried reinstalling and it didn't fix [03:33] Boot mode is "Legacy Support" [03:33] best you ask macbuntu for support of that pacakge, badpilot [03:34] macbuntu ... the horror theme.. [03:34] Oh... do they have a channel? [03:34] Sir_Andrei: see, that's bios booting [03:34] Nice. [03:34] * oerheks shivers [03:34] UEFI is the other option... [03:34] oerheks, could be worse. there is an ubuntu/windows theme somewhere out in the wild [03:34] So..., got it, I have to select UEFI mode. [03:34] i know, reinstall ! [03:34] oerheks: I'm a bit mac obsessed [03:34] Sir_Andrei: set it to uefi and see if windows still boots [03:35] but I have come across some terrible icon sets [03:35] bleh... don't get me started [03:35] If I select Windows Boot Manager it boots, yea. [03:35] Sir_Andrei: where do you select that? [03:35] F12 [03:36] I don't know the name. [03:36] The same place where I select to boot my USB Stick. [03:36] probably the boot device override menu [03:36] Sir_Andrei: okay, now install ubuntu ;) [03:36] while i get some sleep [03:36] Without biosgrub, right? [03:37] Tom, where are you from? [03:37] Sir_Andrei: you're using efi booting now, meaning ubuntu will share the ESP with windows [03:37] Nice C: [03:37] Sir_Andrei: so no need for a biosgrub partition. but you can and should just do automatic partitioning so that windows is preserved. [03:38] i'm in europe [03:38] and in bed [03:38] Oh, it's morning in that place. [03:38] does 16.04 support EGPU's? [03:38] ! TMI [03:38] Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [03:38]
