[00:00] update what? [00:00] gambl0re: Should be instant, why? You may need to clear the DNS cache if for example you changed DNS servers and expect to see a different result: sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches [00:01] restart wifi [00:02] Max-P: according to your systemd plot, the two snapd services take very long to start up. is there anything about this in syslog? [00:03] fair point, let me check that in 2 minutes when it's done booting again [00:03] Max-P: I installed from the repo [00:07] Sheilong: what do you get from `dmesg | grep -E "nouveau|NVIDIA"`? What about if you do `sudo modprobe nvidia` and then check dmesg again? [00:09] tomreyn: that's getting even weirder: https://d.max-p.me/irc/ubuntu-boot-slow2.svg [00:10] guys === Darkhero_ is now known as Darkhero [00:10] what the name of package to create a boot usb initialization? [00:11] How I can run on terminal it? [00:11] Max-P: first command give nothing [00:11] Gonna check second now [00:12] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/PKsy9MsJ/ [00:12] second command gives this error [00:12] dmesg again gives nothing [00:14] Sheilong: what graphics card do you have? Version 340 is quite old, that should probably be 390 unless your card isn't supported anymore by recent drivers [00:15] Max-P: i'm more used to the textual output, can you post "sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain" and "sudo systemd-analyze blame"? [00:15] tomreyn: There's a long skip in syslog, possibly it's waiting to seed the random generator? https://d.max-p.me/irc/ubuntu-syslog.txt [00:16] Max-P: Nvdia Geforce 9800GT [00:16] tomreyn: here you go: https://d.max-p.me/irc/ubuntu-systemd-critical.txt [00:16] Max-P: indeed, that's a good explanation. [00:18] Max-P: i guess you need haveged then or whatever [00:18] I am poor, Ican't afford a new computer I have my PC since 2008 lol [00:19] I have a quit old laptop too, but younger than the PC. [00:19] how do you add a group to a folder or drive? Doing 'sudo chgrp sysdrive ./' seems to have no effect [00:19] Sheilong: you dont have to buy a new one, you can buy a newer pre-owned one. [00:19] tomreyn: Too expensive at the country that I live, even a pre-owned one [00:20] Our taxes are very high [00:20] i see :-/ [00:20] Just want to fix my computer to finish school stuf lol, [00:20] Sheilong: do you use that to game or just general desktop usage? If just desktop, that card probably works decently with nouveau [00:20] Given you have to run a fairly old version of the driver it looks like the module doesn't build for the current kernel or something from the looks of it [00:20] Max-P: Hardly I use to game. Just to general desktop [00:21] If you reboot and pick an older kernel, maybe it'll work [00:21] I am gonna try it [00:21] btw I am using awesome-wm right now, but I never got used to tiled wm lol [00:21] Edisto: seems to have no effect based on? [00:22] Edisto: what'S the chgrp exit code, does the 'sysdrive' group exist? [00:22] brb [00:22] tomreyn: when I right click adn go to permissions 'sysdrive' is not there under groups [00:23] Edisto: i dont trust your GUI ;-) , please check with ls -l [00:25] /j#web [00:25] Aye that is much much faster now! Thanks tomreyn for pointing me the right direction. Added virtio-rng-pci to my VM and it works perfectly now! [00:27] i dont can install deepin [00:27] Max-P: you spotted the issue yourself. ;) [00:27] i dont can create a boot usb initial [00:27] =( [00:27] tomreyn: is there a way to check under the sysdrive. It shows my current account and group when I do 'ls -l' [00:27] help me guys [00:27] i have .iso of deepin [00:27] PsychoBoB: unetbootin? [00:27] what is? [00:28] PsychoBoB: i dont think "deepin" is supported here. to write an iso to a usb storage, you can use usb-creator-gtk [00:28] aye that sounds more up to date than unetbootin. Personally I still just `dd` my images onto my drive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [00:29] Edisto: what is "the sysdrive"? [00:29] tomreyn, ok, the package run... but when i select the d.iso dont show on program [00:29] just show my usb pendrive [00:29] but the .iso no [00:29] why ? [00:29] After switched kernel I was able to log into default desktop. The funny thing is that I just upgraded the system today morning to see whether ir would fix my issue. Anyway, the system reported a crash right now just after log into the default desk with the message : Sorry, a problem occured while installing software Package: nvidia-340 340.104-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 [00:30] Edisto: can you tell me the full path you are trying to change the group owner for, and maybe also discuss why (in case you're not 100% sure your approach makes sense) [00:30] PsychoBoB, try the #deepin channel here on #freenode ? [00:31] nobody ask there [00:31] =( [00:31] tomreyn: the group i created. I'm trying to add the group to the drive so my standard accounts can access the hard drive. [00:31] that is why you need to install ubuntu :-) [00:32] i using ubuntu [00:32] but i want to test other [00:32] understand? [00:32] Sheilong: Yup, sounds like it's the nvidia module being incompatible with that kernel as I suspected. Seems to be reported too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1779829 [00:32] Launchpad bug 1779829 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-340 340.104-0ubuntu0.16.04.1: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:34] 15 hours ago .. pretty hot bug [00:34] Edisto: ok, so the full path is? [00:34] This is not the first time I got issues witrh my drive [00:35] First time I installed the drive it bugged the default desktop, actually I used to bug when I log with my main user [00:35] I tried everything to get it back working and nothing, the solution were creating a new user [00:35] Edisto: also, which file system is in use there [00:35] hi there [00:36] PsychoBoB, - dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX 4M && sync # you need to use full path [00:36] tomreyn: /media/admins/C0F21894F2189130 [00:37] oerheks, run on terminal ? [00:37] tomreyn: not sure about that question [00:37] Sheilong: you're probably better off without it in your particular case and use nouveau (the default one). It's been a long time since I last used Ubuntu so I'll have to leave safe uninstalling of nvidia to the others if you want to go that route :) [00:37] Edisto: is that an external drive then? what's the file system? mount | grep '/media/admins' [00:38] PsychoBoB, that is what you asked for, as start [00:38] oerheks, what is the 4m [00:38] show error it [00:38] tomreyn: it is the internal hard drive. I am dual booting windows and ubuntu. [00:38] tomreyn: /dev/sdb2 on /media/admins/C0F21894F2189130 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) [00:39] dd: unknow operation 4M [00:39] oerheks, [00:39] oh .. bs=4M [00:41] Edisto: hmm, i'm not sure how to determine the actual file system from this. it is mounted using fuse. i will try to leanr how to do this quickly. in the meantime, can you show the output of 'ls -ld /media/admins/C0F21894F2189130/' [00:41] tomreyn: what about ``cat /proc/mounts`` ? [00:43] bapa: right, this seems to provide this info, thanks. [00:43] hi all - I'm having an issue with my time, it's setting to UTC despite my locale being correct [00:43] had the issue ever since moving to Ubuntu 18.04 [00:43] Edisto: can you run: grep -F '/media/admins' /proc/mounts [00:45] tomreyn: let me switch to teh standard account so I try to assess it from there. [00:46] jmadero: Any chance you dual-boot with Windows? (I doubt it's related, but I'm curious.) [00:47] bapa: I do - I'm reading about this conflict now, it's strange though, if I correct the time in Ubuntu, even if I reboot and never go back into Windows, Ubuntu comes up wrong again [00:47] instructions I'm seeing all are about earlier versions of Ubuntu asking me to modify a file that no longer exists [00:47] "/etc/default/rcS" [00:48] jmadero: FWIW, you can force Windows to use UTC via a registry tweak (and then a reboot). It's how I've got Windows + $distro to place nice with timezones in the past. [00:48] bapa: yeah I'm reading about this now - what a PITA [00:50] ok going to try it out [00:50] wish me luck [00:51] there's also "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" to set the local timezone as well as "timedatectl set-local-rtc" with systemd [00:52] Yep. Have fun. [00:52] best way is to force windows indeed [00:52] best way is not to have windows ;) [00:53] but i want one, .. even i am not in title to, as i never bought 7/8 [00:53] (Also I know this is off-topic, but I'm nuking my Ubuntu install for another $distro soon. R.I.P. I'll still stay here to offer support for a bit though ;_;) [00:53] everybody got it for free, freeware [00:53] wait,i am offtopic [00:58] bapa: enjoy hannah montana linux! [01:18] Last week I converted my laptop from Windows 10 to Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS. It is at least twice as fast at the most important things. Applications start instantly, they don't chew up nearly as much memory, and WINE is able to run most of my Windows programs faster than Windows could. [01:18] :-) [01:18] Now I just set up my OpenVPN client, and it's amazing how quickly it runs. It also doesn't send any data over-the-wire at all, unlike Windows which seems to like to send regular chatter and eat up loads of bandwidth. [01:19] Boot time is also much faster. I'm down from 5 minutes to less than 1 minute. The big delay on the Linux boot is scanning devices because "lvmetad" seems to have problems. [01:19] 45 seconds of delay for that. [01:19] sounds like you're set [01:20] Well, there are a few things that don't work, but for the most-part everything is working. [01:20] I'd like to use my numeric keypad consistently though -- when NumLock is off, in most applications it functions as cursor keys. Some applications ignore it. Is it possible to get this working properly? [01:21] Also, FAR Manager (64-bit and 32-bit) crashes very badly under WINE. [01:22] My wishlist for all distros is a way to get my extra buttons on my logitech mouse working without resorting to cmdline work and brittle hacks. [01:22] JavaFX is only supported up to JRE/JDK 8. It seems that it was left behind. [01:22] bapa: That would be nice. [01:22] I never found anything that worked in WINE. I ended up finding Linux apps that serve me well. [01:23] Speaking of WINE, Ubuntu LTS needs to package /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop. I couldn't get WINE apps to launch by double-clicking Windows .exes on someone's machine, and had to download the Arch Linux tarball and copy their *.desktop file so that Nautilus could associate with the extension. :X [01:23] I should probably file a bug for that if one hasn't. [01:24] Randolf: i'm with sonicwind there, you should try replacing your windows applications by alternatives ubuntu provides, wine will not make you happy inthe long run. [01:26] I made the mistake of installing Wine and installing their favorite Windows card games and having it nice and integrated into the launcher. Big mistake, because they now think the buggyness of it is a defect of Ubuntu, rather than the fact getting Windows .exes to run on Linux is a MIRACLE of engineering, and something you have to go out of your way to setup. [01:27] Users a) Complain something is constrained and annoying. b) You give them freedom, and then the freedom isn't as polished as the experience they're "meant" to have, and they attribute it to the OS sucking. >:( [01:27] Anyway, sorry. I'll stay on-topic from now on. [01:29] !info pysolfc [01:29] pysolfc (source: pysolfc): collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0-4 (bionic), package size 3446 kB, installed size 9775 kB [01:29] go wild [01:30] Yeah, but open-source games usually don't understand usability. They're usually really hit or miss IMO. [01:31] which games have been a hit? [01:31] Sudoku on Gnome 32 [01:31] Sorry, thinking of System32. ;> [01:32] And a giant miss is Sudoku on KDE. [01:32] that's it? [01:32] Yup. Linux ain't got no game. [01:33] true that is why i asked [01:37] Also, how's KDE 5 been treating people on LTS 18.04? I think I'mma try that DE and see how it goes. [01:37] i swapped over to cinnamon for now. i hear they are updating gnome end of the month that is supposed to help with CPU performance [01:37] on LTS? [01:38] Yea they said 18.04.1 is supposed to drop [01:38] i too am running 18.04 LTS [01:39] I'm sad Gnome 3 has been so buggy for me. Glad I thought of trying KDE instead of rebooting ito the Hannah Montana Linux installer like I was just about to. [01:39] yea i heard KDE is pretty good for 18.04.. and apparantly gnome will be fixed end of month [01:40] i like gnome so i will switch back once that happens [01:40] I've used KDE 5 on OpenSUSE leap and it's AMAZINGLY polished and stable. Here's hoping it's the same on Ubuntu. [01:40] Biessie: Oh? What issues are there with Gnome 3? Are my issues known? I asked earlier, but everyone just gave me advice instead of telling me whether it was or not. [01:41] 'Cuz I can put up with broken-but-gonna-be-fixed-later. [01:41] bapa : Im honestly not certain exactly what the issues are but its supposed to keep the CPU usage lower and less spikes, etc [01:41] ill scroll up and find who told me that so maybe you can inquire when they get back [01:42] And fingers crossed that my network driver kernel regression will be fixed soon. 3 distros have the same issue of disconnecting my network after waking from sleep, with nothing short of rmmod/modprobe. [01:42] his name was lotuspsychje [01:43] Oh my god. It's fixed in the -24 kernel. Finally! [01:43] What a coincidence. It got fixed yesterday. Dang, yes! [01:43] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1752772 [01:43] Launchpad bug 1752772 in linux (Ubuntu) "r8169 ethernet card don't work after returning from suspension" [Medium,Fix released] [01:43] bapa - https://i.imgur.com/Valw3kj.png [01:43] thats a clip of our convo [01:43] bapa: thats fixed now? [01:44] oooo [01:44] Not yet, because I'm running -23 kernel. Fingers crossed with -24. [01:44] was that a bug that was only in the ubuntu kernel or also the main kernel? [01:44] It happened to me in OpenSUSE Leap and Fedora 28. [01:45] So it's a kernel regression and not a distro issue. [01:45] i think its been happening to me with the main kernel === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:47] Now, how to figure out how to completely uninstall Gnome-everything since a million billion Gnome packages are selected by apt... [01:47] bapa did you install it all at once wiht one selection? [01:48] if so: sudo apt purge (package you installed it with) then: sudo apt autoremove [01:48] I just did the Ubuntu installer defaults, which selects the whole shaboo. So I can't just put a hit out on the top-level metapkg and ``autoremove`` to my heart's content. [01:49] linux could be so much more usable if they just added things like that to the gui [01:49] synaptic could have an autoremove [01:49] IMO, I want less choice in Linux, and just a set of thingies that all are polished and work well. [01:50] yeah [01:50] Which I admire Canonical for with their understanding of papercuts. [01:51] It's just a shame Ubuntu LTS 18.04 is still so unstable and buggy for me. Same with the previous LTS. But that's just my luck :\ [01:51] and mine [01:52] I thought after not running Ubuntu for so many years, I'd come back to an AMAZING distro. And it is. But not not amazing enough to not embarass me with stuff not working when I install it on normal people's computers. Sigh. [01:53] normal peoples computers, like a 10 year old family PC running winxp ? [01:53] More like 2009. [01:54] Ok 9 year old, not 10 [01:54] Windows 9 was a government conpsiracy. [01:55] Also, LTS 18.04 and Rthymbox. Are media keys not working a bug or a feature? [01:56] Don't know, sane people use mpd [01:56] FWIW media keys work in VLC, but for some reason the sound is tinny and horrible in that (never touched any of its settings, and rm -rf-ing the config dir for VLC does nothing). [01:56] I used to run mpd in my Gentoo days. But now only basic, boring GUI players for me. [01:57] that is for all players, clementine comes with build in equaliser [01:57] i feel the same way, earlier ubuntus felt like more progress was being made making linux usuable === WizBright is now known as wiz === wiz is now known as WizBright [01:57] If i logout and change GUI at the login screen and relog back in.. should it switch then or do i need to reboot? i swapped from gnome3 to cinnamon and it's not looking any different when i log back in lol [01:57] Can anyone test their media keys with Rthymbox for me on LTS 18.04? [01:59] Biessie: You don't have to reboot, but I usually do so when installing new desktop environments because sometimes daemons/services running in the background don't get killed when you logout, and they can interfere with the new enviroment. [01:59] bapa : okay ill try that hopefully thats the reason since it doesnt look any different [01:59] (And I dare not switch to a console and go to runlevel 1, and then back to runlevel 3, because switching runlevels has a habit of freezing this Ubuntu machine for some reason. Not even escape sequences help ;_;) [02:00] Biessie: did you select Cinammon from GDM's thingy? [02:00] I think you can use it to select what desktop environment to log into. [02:02] Also wait, I'm confused. Where's the KDM login manager package in the repos? I see nothing with kdm in the name, and typing `kdm` gets me no relevant hits for what pkg might contain the binary. [02:03] Oh, it's called sddm now. [02:03] rebooting worked [02:03] cinnamon gui works [02:03] logging into KDE. pray for me. [02:03] GL! [02:05] im digging cinnamon [02:10] I pray full-text indexing works automagically like in Gnome 3. === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [02:14] wow cinnamon uses only 2-4% of my CPU compared to gnome using 20-50% [02:16] What sorcery is this. Japanese input works properly in KDE. :O [02:16] Biessie: Glad Cinnamon is working out for you! [02:17] Oh gosh. The -24 kernel is here! I can remove that rmmod/modprobe script now! :D [02:19] 4.17.4 is here too [02:28] Welp. Now in KDE I get this after I suspend and resume: https://i.imgur.com/tO9Udso.png [02:28] I guess I should try the Nvidia-340 drivers. [02:28] i always find having 2 DEs on = trouble [02:28] tomreyn: Thank you. I definitely prefer to use native applications. There are a few applications, however, that alternatives just don't seem to be up to par for. For example, FAR Manager, and Adobe Photoshop are two. [02:29] Hence why I always remove all DEs and their libs/apps, unless it's something minimal like fluxbox [02:35] http://biessie.ddns.net/ss/cinnamon.png [02:35] oops [02:38] bapa: I remember trying Fluxbox on NetBSD many years ago. It seemed like a nice lightweight GUI. [02:40] I actually used to use a Fluxbox a lot back in the day. ANd this IRC session is also running on NetBSD right now, heh. But now, I am a fat and lazy typical desktop user who wants his shiny. [02:40] Fingers crossed for 340 nvidia drivers [02:42] flux box is still pretty much the same and thats a good thing [02:51] bapa: I still use NetBSD for a lot of stuff. Mostly server things. I'm finding that Ubuntu has better support for current hardware though, and seems to be performing much faster. === Alex4921 is now known as Guest43386 [03:11] hola papito [03:12] hola, esse === semeion is now known as mnemonic [03:26] hello [03:26] greets and stuff [03:27] rangemonger: hmm? [03:27] rangemonger: i like ubuntu! [03:28] dont we all [03:28] but i'm beginner :D [03:29] cool [03:29] see ya! [03:29] exit [03:29] quit [03:29] I think I can live with Ubuntu+KDE, but I have to use Nouveau because nvidia-390 and nvidia-340 both cause lots of random corruption. 5 FPS in muh games, yay. [03:30] bummer [03:30] whats the state on nvidia and kms? [03:31] can i run kms mode with a gf770 on the proprietary drivers? [03:37] Does anyone know where I can find some release notes or a changelog for 18.04.1? I'm about to nuke Gnome 3, but I'll consider keeping it if the changelog mentions something about improving stability. [03:40] bapa, 18.04.1??? it's eta is 26-july-2018 I thought (still in the future) [03:41] Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm hoping there's a place to read about the bugs that are fixed *thus far*~ [03:45] bapa, as far as i know (& would expect) the release notes aren't public (more location isn't published) until release. discussions & decisions you can watch (as with all releases) or read via logs (those done via irc anyway), but there are no easy lists (unless one is mentioned in the lists) [03:46] ALright, thanks guiverc. [03:53] bapa, have you tried using bionic-proposed?? (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-proposed/) [03:54] guiverc: Nope, no FrakenBuntu for me. :P But I've never heard of that, so I'll give it a look nontheless. [03:56] i mentioned it because you mentioned 'nuke'... :) [03:58] Ah, I just said nuke because mixing DE's is a no-no. For example I'm using KDE but everything wants to open in Gnome apps. [03:59] you could use kde's association thingy to fix that [04:05] Welp. I don't even know what to do anymore. With nvidia drivers, lame graphics corruption. With nouveau, really bad tearing in lots of apps. Unless that's just a KDE thing I can configure or something. [04:05] try turning compositting off in kde [04:05] theres a hotkey to do it... one sec [04:06] shift alt f12 [04:06] might not help but its worth a shot [04:07] Makes no difference, since I don't think composting has much due do with a browser tearing while scrolling. [04:07] hmm [04:07] I'm surprised at how bad the drivers are considering how old my card is. :\ [04:08] welp, back to nvidia 390 + gnome. that was better than this. [04:15] bapa: you cant make a new card out of your old one right [04:17] lotuspsychje: What do you mean? [04:17] Well, I guess my other option is to just unplug my 560 Ti and use the integrated Intel thingy I have (since not even the BIOS will acknowledge its existence if a PCI-e card is plugged in). :\ [04:21] that sucks, if you could still get the BIOS to enable the integrated graphics you could run your desktop off the integrated ones and use a bumblebee-like setup to run heavy stuff [04:28] Using ubuntu server 16.04 wondering why I cant seem to edit or delete my bash_history file. I should have enough rights etc. [04:28] echo help === abc is now known as Guest86456 [04:29] cd .. [04:31] test [04:31] taaperotassu, do you get an error? (I've done it on desktop many times) [04:32] Max-P: Yeah, I checked the BIOS much earlier in the day, and there was nada for letting the integrated live with Mr. PCI-e. Oh well. [04:33] Unless I get... the belt. (AKA, check if the manufactuer has issued an update to the BIOS) [04:36] taaperotassu: ls -l ~/.bash_history === saitoh1837 is now known as saitoh183 [04:51] hi! [04:51] I'd like to ask for help, please [04:51] I already asked in #mysql but somebody only linked me 2 pages which do _not_ contain any solution to the issue. [04:52] ...as I already followed best practice [04:52] https://dpaste.de/U1ZY/raw [04:52] I tried all 4 ways (in this order) [04:52] but I still cannot login as root [04:54] How do I get around "Failed to start poweroff.target: Transaction is destructive."? I just want to shut the laptop down... silly systemd. [04:55] icedwater, try running `systemctl enable poweroff.target` then try.... [04:57] I tried that, it still complains. https://askubuntu.com/questions/764565/ didn't work for me. Except the poweroff -f answer at the end. But that's a silly solution, too. [04:58] Why is systemd blocking the shutdown action? [05:00] icedwater, sorry I can't help; i have no idea how Ubuntu (& linux) shuts down [05:00] I'm also reading this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1441253 [05:00] Launchpad bug 1441253 in systemd (Ubuntu) "hanging suspend job prevents shutdown" [Undecided,Won't fix] [05:01] I guess it makes sense that you don't shut down in the middle of a suspend operation, but what if I don't want to suspend, I just want to shutdown... [05:01] guiverc: I get that, thanks for the help though :) [05:02] icedwater: your ubuntu version please? clean install or upgrade? [05:05] lotuspsychje: 16.04, clean install, I think. I don't remember when or if I did do-release-upgrade [05:05] Would this be in some logs somewhere? [05:06] I'm quite sure I shuffled partitions around to make room for a clean install of 16 [05:06] icedwater: on shutdown you can press F1 to see text shutdown, see where it hangs and what it does [05:07] OK, thanks. But what would the difference have been between clean install and upgrade? Where were you going to suggest I take a look? [05:08] icedwater: sometimes leftovers of upgrades or bad upgrades can make bugs occur, hence why i asked [05:08] Also, systemd recently started asking me to enter a passphrase for a cryptswap partition as part of the boot process. Is there somewhere I can specify that passphrase which can be read automatically? [05:08] lotuspsychje: nods [05:09] icedwater: a few ideas maybe, booting a different kernel version, or testing shutdown from a liveusb [05:10] lotuspsychje: anyway now that I did poweroff -f once, and started the system again, shutdown doesn't hang. But I'll check if it stops somewhere. Have you helped debug this before? Yeah, I'll try those too if it comes again, thanks [05:10] icedwater: if nothing helps you can also file a new !bug [05:14] quiverc no errors [05:17] history -c; history -w helpded erasing bash history though sudo rm didn't work nor editing the file. No errors.. strange [05:24] sorry for re-asking. I guess my question got overlooked before. [05:24] I would like to change the MySQL-root-user's password [05:24] none of my attempts worked: [05:24] https://dpaste.de/U1ZY/raw [05:26] Rojola, please try and keep questions to a single line; a non-answer doesn't mean it was overlooked, but it could be no-one available at the time you asked had any answers [05:27] sorry guiverc [05:28] Rojola: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16556497/how-to-reset-or-change-the-mysql-root-password [05:30] pavlos, thank you, tried that already... [05:30] pavlos, https://dpaste.de/HQuC/raw [05:30] should I really run it via "sudo" as the error suggests? [05:31] even as root I get an error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [05:36] Rojola: can you try the example voted 63 times in that page? it starts mysqld_safe in step 3 [05:38] pavlos, I will, but I had to remove (purge) the mysql-server first, as the solution I tried first totally busted the mysql installation [05:40] pavlos, the solution with 63 upvotes is more the less what I did [05:41] okay, even re-installing did not help [05:41] I cannot login any more [05:41] root@linux:/home/user# mysql [05:41] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [05:43] Rojola: are you on 18.04 server? [05:43] yes [05:44] I can login as root again [05:44] update user set plugin='auth_socket' where User='root'; flush privileges; [05:44] but still, logging in via password does not work [05:45] thankfully I created a user with all rights before this incident [05:45] Rojola: check this ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [05:45] thank you pavlos ! [05:46] pavlos, it's not like any of these solutions worked :( [05:46] https://dpaste.de/BZBV/raw [05:49] okay, I give up [05:49] I'll use the user-account I set up before [05:49] thank you pavlos ! [05:50] Rojola: nw ... I dont have a db to test now and need to get some zzz's [05:50] sleep well! :) [05:51] Rojola: we'll continue tomorrow [05:51] thank you =) === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [06:02] is pubg playable yet, havent touched it in about 9 months [06:26] is there any realistic way to enable exim4 quickly with ubuntu? [06:26] that rubbish wiki page doesn't work [06:33] server irc.all4y.net [06:36] Conceptually, can you make vsftpd run as a sftp server, or is that done on openssh server itself? [06:38] vsftp got its own deamon, so conceptually: yes [06:59] do people run unbound for caching dns? [07:02] chi , well, you can .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unbound [07:02] symlink to a folder is treated as a file or folder? [07:02] chl_ Yes, We have it in our organisation [07:03] some docs https://calomel.org/unbound_dns.html [07:03] in terms of performance, do any of you happen to know it compares to bind? === Murii is now known as Murii_ === Richard is now known as Guest30841 [07:27] Hello all, I got a big question, I have searched high and low for an answer to this one, [07:27] I have a Dell Precision 3510 (https://zerobin.net/?2430e64e96282ebe#lPQ4Amc4TCT/N2PzTG06Ic4xYMhT7fwQaBIUKBGnGks <-- specs) [07:27] And every version of Ubuntu I tried caused the motherboard to heat up very quickly around the GPU area, but I have no idea why Ubuntu detects my AMD FirePro W5130M as AMD Radeon HD8800M. [07:27] It does not allow me to use the laptop more than 10 minutes before it gets too hot to have on my lap. [07:30] I forgot to mention, for some unknown reason, it runs the GPU @ 100% at all times, not even using the integrated graphics [07:32] lots of posts about that https://askubuntu.com/questions/961747/ubuntu-detecting-wrong-gpu-in-dell-precision-3510 [07:33] Uh, well this sucks [07:33] I restarted my ubuntu box and the wireless interface is gone [07:33] oerheks: Yeah, I swa that already, but no one offered a solution to this problem, I even went the extra mile and contacted AMD support over the phone, the answer I got was just weird "We do not currently support this product under linux, but might be in future releases of this model". [07:33] Which means "We do not support THIS specific one, upgrade to a new laptop to get ubuntu support". [07:33] all there is is the openradeon driver, no amdgpu pro ? [07:33] :-( [07:35] no, amdgpu pro is just for a couple of specific GPU's, FirePro is not included. [07:35] I am stuck with Windows and this sucks! [07:38] https://www.amd.com/en/support/professional-graphics/mobile-platforms/firepro-mobility-series/firepro-w5130m [07:38] I did find this, but every time I install it, it just shoots out an error before it crash and burn. [07:40] Hi [07:41] There is a black screen after installing Nvidia drivers [07:41] KryptoX, i am afraid you are stuck with that hd530 [07:42] I tried to use root mount [07:42] Now I typed startx [07:43] There is display to contact ubuntu support [07:44] Please help [07:45] qwebirc6817 That happend with my laptop as well. I gave up after weeks of troubleshooting and reinstalled ubuntu and never installed graphics driver to keep it running [08:02] hello guys === mohammad is now known as Guest46248 [08:02] hi [08:03] when i run virtualbox and run a virtual on it [08:03] i see that whole system is stuck [08:03] what is problem ? [08:05] Guest46248: install the last version of virtualbox [08:05] https://www.virtualbox.org/ [08:05] Ool: that is not the default answer [08:05] Ool, i miss old machines ? [08:06] the version that ubuntu ships is fullly supported and tested, so why would you randomly just change the version [08:07] ikonia, it was okay but now when i run a virtual machine on it whole system stucks [08:07] Guest46248: ok - so whats going on with that ? are you resources ok, is the host hanging or just the guest [08:08] ikonia, i just run android machines on it and it is ubuntu 16.04 [08:08] not what I asked [08:08] no [08:08] host hanging [08:09] so when you launch a guest, the host totally hangs/locks [08:09] yes when i run guest [08:09] ok, can you do basic thinks like move the mouse around on the host [08:09] host totally locks [08:09] ikonia: not random [08:09] i cant even move mouse [08:09] Ool: explain why based on one line of problem the answer is to change the provider to a 3rd party package [08:10]
