[00:09] In 17.10 and earlier, there was an option to enable the "shell user-theme" extension under the Extensions section of Gnome-Tweak-Tool. This is gone in 18.04. Does anyone know what I can do to get it back?

[00:13] it might be gnome tho [00:14] 18.04 gave us a new gnome. All gnome or lightDM [00:16] Open Gnome Tweak Tool . Click on the Extensions menu item, and move the User themes slider to On . Close Gnome Tweak Tool and open it again. [00:18] in the Extensions panel of GNOME Tweak Tool, you may need to install it from extensions.gnome.org. Restart the tweak tool after installing. [00:20] good night, how do i change my ip? [00:21] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/05/enable-shell-theme-in-gnome-tweak-tool-in-ubuntu/ [00:21] change? [00:21] yes [00:22] you not buy that ip? [00:22] your providers ip, or your router ip? [00:22] IntelCore, thanks. I was able to install it by installing the package 'chrome-gnome-shell' and then activating the extension at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/. [00:22] right [00:22] 10-4 vultyre [00:24] vultyre - you might get a residual if you tried to put a couple extensions, and one won't work, broken, go back to gnome to set [00:24] gone fer a cola [00:24] I have done it with a program in windows, I want to do it in Linux [00:25] release a net ip?

I see don't get it when I do `do-release-upgrade` in 16.04 [01:27] upgrade is like 3 k files [01:27] force it, or change repository to bionic === MurrayMunster_ is now known as MurrayMunster [01:27] lequestion: https://superuser.com/questions/439688/how-to-grep-a-log-file-within-a-specific-time-period # top google result when searching for "linux grep time range" [01:28] IntelCore: that's not the best advice [01:28] nope [01:28] IntelCore: I thought `do-release-upgrade` is supposed to detect the availability of the new release without me forcing it. [01:28] k_sze[work]: tried "sudo apt update" ? [01:28] true ipossed tot is s [01:28] And without changing the repositories. [01:28] leftyfb: I did. [01:29] k_sze[work]: which mirror are you using?

[01:34] no, you have to menu to save-as [01:35] Nope, still no new release found. [01:35] meh [01:36] What is the minimum space requirements for 1604. Google says 25gb but i dont believe that to be true [01:37] Hardrive space.. sorry [01:38] lwkey: it's not an absolute requirement. It's more like a recommendation [01:42] lwkey: for reference, I currently have an installation of 16.04 that uses less than 15 GiB, excluding /home/ [01:45] Im assuming i cant use a single gb. I was originally trying to make a bootable raid.. or even use an old phone if either is possible? [01:47] lwkey: https://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2018/02/rfc-ubuntu-1804-lts-minimal-images.html [01:47] lwkey: this is for a phone? If so, that's completely unsupported here [01:49] No its for my laptop, but i was thinking i could use an old phone as a hardrive [01:50] for what purpose? [01:50] Still unsupported, but I don't see the point [01:51] I only have a live cd and no hardrive or big enough pen drives [01:53] lwkey: you have a computer with no hard drive? How are you online now? You can't buy a hard drive? [01:54] I'm having a weird issue with my top status bar in 18.04, looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/EXIosQA.png you can see there is a lot of blank space in the middle causing the time and date to be pushed off the screen [01:55] how can I investigate this? [01:55] it also gradually gets worse the longer the computer is running, initially it is displayed OK but after it's been running for a few days it is pushed off, eventually the other icons at top right will be pushed off too === lwkey is now known as lowky [01:59] Is nvidia-driver-390 the updated version of nvidia-384? Why are the package name structures different? [02:02] So... just upgraded to Bionic... [02:02] Anybody know how to fix "The key(s) in the keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg are ignored as the file has an unsupported filetype."? [02:04] Shmam, yes, it's the updated version. I can't find anything about why the name was changed, but just make sure you run 'ubuntu-drivers devices' and install the recommended driver for your device [02:04] !info nvidia-390 bionic [02:04] Package nvidia-390 does not exist in bionic [02:04] wait what does 'ubuntu-drivers devices' do? [02:05] I just installed the nvidia drivers via apt then rebooted but it seems like it didn't work properly [02:06] I'm getting insufficientcuda driver: 9010 with ethminer [02:06] It will list the available drivers for your devices. For example, running it on my computer gives the following output: https://pastebin.com/3iG7q9G8 [02:06] which doesnt make sense if this is the newest driver version [02:06] The newest driver isn't always the correct one for your GPU [02:06] Sometimes you need an older one [02:08] ok my ubuntu-drivers devices shows this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rCtYJRhK5y/ [02:08] so should I apt purge nvidia* and then try one of the older ones maybe? [02:09] !info nvidia-driver-390 bionic [02:09] nvidia-driver-390 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390): NVIDIA driver metapackage. In component restricted, is optional. Version 390.48-0ubuntu3 (bionic), package size 368 kB, installed size 1066 kB [02:09] I guess not. The 1070 definitely supports 390 [02:09] yeah I would think s [02:10] maybe they restructured the drivers so it doesnt come with cuda? would that be possible? [02:10] but I guess then I would be getting a different error [02:10] Try running "nvidia-smi". What does it say is the driver version at the top? [02:11] Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:01:00.0: Unknown Error [02:12] so the issue is not just affecting ethminer? [02:12] I found this: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/1138 [02:13] But it seems like you don't have the same problem [02:13] yeah his nvidia-smi seems to be workinng [02:13] nvcc is also not installed [02:14] I guess I would try purging, rebooting, reinstalling, and then rebooting again [02:15] run ubuntu-drivers devices [02:15] Guest82547, Shman already did: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rCtYJRhK5y/ === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc === blonkhart is now known as blepharospasm [02:20] this seems like a hard one to pin down. some people have solved it by installing the drivers directly from Nvidia instead, sometimes it's a motherboard BIOS issue, sometimes it's a GPU hardware issue, sometimes VMware or Virtualbox settings are messing with it [02:21] if you can purge it and run apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//') nvidia-driver [02:21] I'm not using a vm so maybe ill try installing the drivers from nvidia === blepharospasm is now known as blonkhart [02:21] after this apt install nvidia-xconfig [02:21] good evening all [02:22] then run sudo nvidia-xconfig [02:22] I'd try fixing it using the repo's packages like Guest82547 is suggesting first for stability purposes [02:22] I still have some nvidia packages after 'apt remove --purge nvidia* [02:22] weird [02:22] compiz on bionic [02:23] i'm having an issue...i installed ubuntu 18.04, but after reboot, guess what won't boot? i'm able to get into it by choosing an efi file, but i'd like it to boot on its own...what should i do? [02:23] autoremove fixed it actually [02:24] apt install linux-headers.......-nvidia-driver said that "e: package nvidia-driver has no installation candidate" [02:25] so it came from.. ? [02:25] the puter maker, or nvidia [02:26] is there something in the bios i need to fix? [02:26] the one that I just tried was from apt [02:26] is there something on the disk? [02:26] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [02:26] hidden.. might be efi boot problem [02:27] and again ubuntu-drivers devices [02:27] uefi/gpt disk [02:29] IntelCore, such as? i hate to say it, but i've forgotten most of what i knew about linux [02:29] ruf. [02:29] IntelCore, i can use a bios option to load an efi file from the front of the hard drive, by selecting the grub efi image [02:29] but that's less than ideal [02:30] i did same with dual boot, until one helper fixed me up [02:30] i'd much rather have the machine boot on its own [02:31] maybe install grub to the beginning of hard disk? [02:33] any ideas why `sudo reboot` would hang? [02:33] idk whats going on [02:34] processing [02:35] I also have sudo reboot issues.. unity kill pid [02:36] i'm going to try sudo grub-install and see what happens [02:36] the primary hard disk is acting like grub isn't actually installed [02:40] Ugh... maybe I shouldn't have upgraded... [02:40] Seems like half bionic is broken. [02:40] H1ddenDjinn: anything positive ' sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub ' ? [02:40] I cannot access the desktop sharing section in system settings. [02:41] And if I open sharing from the terminal and try to turn on sharing, it doesn't save my changes. [02:41] ok somethings really borked [02:41] system settings top-right corner, displays 'About this Computer' [02:42] I did `sudo shutdown` and it passed the time that shutdown was scheduled for [02:42] should I just kill the power? [02:43] Shmam, try 'sudo poweroff' [02:43] seems to be hanging [02:44] Bashing-om, i need to reboot to see [02:44] Bashing-om, brb [02:44] Shmam: ' sudo systemctl poweroff ' ? [02:44] 'sudo systemctl poweroff'? [02:44] Heh [02:44] also hangs [02:45] 'sudo systemctl halt' [02:45] hangs [02:46] Power it off by holding down the power button like a neanderthal then [02:46] :( [02:46] technology has failed us [02:49] When before, you chose 'system settings' it give you panel with battery, networking, and all settings.. display and all? now can't find it. === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc [02:50] ok, well, progress [02:50] you should try sysrq (REISUO) before holding down the power button, no? [02:51] uhh ohhh [02:51] Bashing-om, IntelCore, i got the thing to have ubuntu as an option, but i need to move it up to the top option [02:51] depending on your version [02:51] its not lookinng good [02:51] otherwise, it loops the post until i interrupt it [02:52] same problem? [02:54] well now we cant get passed grub [02:55] IntelCore, i can't message you atm because i'm still synching my files including password manager...need password db to log into freenode [02:55] np, Bashing-om sends out ubuntu mail [02:56] shhh. :) [02:57] Shmam, was the computer working fine with nouveau before? [02:57] yeah [02:59] wifi just dropped me === HiddenDjinn is now known as HiddenDj1nn [02:59] can you get into recovery mode? [02:59] vultyre, i can boot into the system, but only after going into the bios to choose and efi file [03:00] HiddenDj1nn, sorry, I was talking to Shmam [03:00] vultyre, sorry [03:00] IntelCore, why should i reinstall when the system works(kinda) [03:00] I got in with this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/760374/ubuntu-16-04-nvidia-driver-blank-screen [03:00] lol, my super key does not pull out a panel on left of screen [03:01] adding nomodeset to grub [03:01] IntelCore, it seems to be an ordering issue now [03:01] dont re-install HidenDijinn [03:01] vultyre: I'm gonna apt purge all of the nvidia packages again and reboot [03:02] wait theres no nvidia packages installed [03:05] ok, pulled an update grub, going to go into bios...bbs [03:05] and ubuntu-drivers devices lists them as using nvidia-driver-390. how do I update that? [03:07] Devices connected over DisplayPort to an external screen may fail to boot on Nvidia hardware. [03:08] ubuntu-drivers devices justs lists drivers that your system can use, not necessarily which ones are currently in use. [03:08] I'm connected via dvi [03:08] oh how do I set it to use a certain one? [03:09] If you search /var/logs/Xorg.0.log for nvidia you shouldn't find anything [03:09] nvidia.com/object/unix.html [03:09] Verify that that log file contains a line about loading nouveau and not one about loading nvidia [03:10] grep nvidia returns nothing while grep nouveau returns the following: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qQQvRsrV5H/ [03:10] alright, so then we're back at square one [03:11] which is at least better than a computer that won't boot [03:12] lemme reboot just to make sure everything is working properly [03:13] huh it doesnt reboot properly unless I add that param to grub [03:16] You can modify it permanently with /etc/default/grub. I'm not sure why it booted fine without it before on nouveau but now requires it, though [03:16] \In comparison benchmarks, nouveau generally provides inferior performance to Nvidia's proprietary graphics device drivers. [03:16] it looks like that param makes it use the intel integrated gpu as the resolution is capped really low [03:18] hmm... that seems like an indirect effect that is bringing to light another problem. All nomodeset does is delay loading of nouveau/nvidia until X11 starts up [03:18] Compiz recommends nouveau over the Nvidia proprietary driver [03:18] right but I need the nvidia driver for mining [03:19] just get it from nvidia then [03:19] if not even nouveau is loading right now though, there's another problem [03:19] right and I want to figure that out first [03:20] does 'lsmod | grep nouveau' return anything? [03:22] Shmam, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [03:22] sudo lshw -C display (Shows the info u may need to know on the driver) [03:22] sudo apt update [03:22] With nomodeset in grub: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mrpZznhgPz/ [03:22] If it doesn't return anything, can you dump the contents of dmesg? [03:23] so it is loaded [03:23] But you're limited to small resolutions? [03:23] yeah my 1080p monitor is limited to 720 [03:24] Asus? get a driver off them? [03:24] I'm reading through this right now: https://askubuntu.com/questions/106055/ubuntu-stuck-in-low-resolution-after-uninstalling-disabling-nvidia-drivers [03:24] I would guess that its using the intel integrated graphics [03:24] They had a similar issue where nouveau was loaded but had a limited resolution [03:25] https://askubuntu.com/a/694713 [03:25] Try this? [03:25] I dont have a nvidia* file in modprobe [03:25] you need 381 driver [03:26] Guest82547, why do you think that? [03:26] I dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [03:27] May well be in a different file, so have a nosey around the modprobe.d folder [03:29] bumblebee? [03:29] It's a 1070 in a desktop, so no [03:30] Purging nvidia drivers gets rid of xorg.conf, so it makes sense that yours is gone [03:31] But then it makes it odd that your display settings did not get reverted to the previous state from before installing the nvidia drivers [03:31] last thing posted on that page. [03:31] askubuntu [03:32] making sure I had xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed [03:33] that's not the nvidia. but the screen res might come back === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr === iulian is now known as Guest49472 [03:36] If you're using nomodeset in grub you might need to use some additional settings in grub as well: https://askubuntu.com/a/761185 [03:37] anyway to multi- select in gedit like in nautilus using ctrl+leftmouse click? [03:38] maybe I should just fresh install [03:38] start from the beginning [03:47] actually before I do that [03:47] I now have the option to install nvidia-390 [03:54] after installing that, nvidia-smi returns unable to determine the device handle === aloo_shu2 is now known as aloo_shu [04:00] hey guys - is there a good top for your network activity? i'm blanking on the name. not htop or iotop [04:02] King_of_Ireland, iftop ?

Ubuntu 18 [04:59] aloo_shu, thanks! [04:59] aloo_shu, then p is for the previous occurrence? === guiverc_w is now known as guiverc [05:00] I think ? brings up help [05:00] p is probably ok [05:00] Anyone help ? [05:00] lotuspsychje: hey, I finally got it working. [05:00] cbpye: how please? [05:00] smacktalk, an easy to use iso burner is multiwriter (a gnome staple) === RaptorJesus is now known as Spaghettifetti === shawn is now known as Guest17261 [05:02] lotuspsychje: purged, removed, and autoremoved everything nvidia-*; made sure that I was not in SecureBoot mode; Blacklisted nouveau; re-installed dkms, linux-headers-general, gcc, and one other thing that I forgot. [05:02] Mystic_Reverie: what do the browsers say? could be your connection is very slow, good enough for a little text, but too lame to even complete tls handshake [05:02] allo, they just say the no internet error message [05:02] cbpye: but on wich driver are you now? [05:03] lotuspsychje: then, I just used 390.77 from NVIDIA's website. After rebooting and seeing it work, I removed ubuntus graphics driver PPA. don't want it messing with anything. [05:03] I can connect to a few apps like tox chat. bubt cant connect to browsers, or even hexchat. the net seems to be 'half working' [05:03] synaptics package manager has a 'Sections' and you will find "Libraries" (Restricted" with Nvidia in it. [05:03] lotuspsychje: MORAL OF THE STORY -- just trust the hardware vendor. [05:03] cbpye: can you add your solution on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1752053 please? [05:03] Launchpad bug 1752053 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display" [Critical,Fix released] [05:06] cbpye: had a user here yesterday fixxing it with ubuntu graphics ppa aswell [05:06] Mystic_Reverie: netstat -atu (repeatedly) allows you to follow if apps try to open connections, and their status, but that apart, I'm out of ideas, somebody else please [05:07] how to run netstat atu ?. anyway.. it wont help me. i dont understand that stuff. i have internet connection but many thing swont connect ot the web, but some do [05:07] firewalld that web browser you wont connect [05:07] maybe? confession time: I'm running Kubuntu 18.01, and I'm almost certain that my issue was caused by software being installed/updated by the Discover application (which sucks, BTW) while simultaneously using the Driver Manager system setting widget. They both crashed simultanously while one thing was in the middle of something. [05:08] ive tried 3 web browsers, none connect. and hexchat also wont work [05:08] on hex now [05:09] the other major thing that was different for me was that, repeatedly, my driver installs were failing while dkms was building a module. [05:09] Assume this is not the pc that won't connect. try re-installing the wifi, and modem.. [05:09]
