[00:00] jerichowasahoax, you can check out a program called Autof https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [00:04] jerichowasahoax: do you have _netdev in mount options? [00:05] tomreyn: no, should i? [00:05] alternatively, or additionally, x-systemd.after=network-online.target [00:05] jerichowasahoax: if you want it reliably mounted at boot, i think so [00:05] ooo, telling systemd about dependencies seems smarter [00:06] because it does also need to wait for a vlan to come up but i figured it would retry a couple times [00:07] Hey guys! I've got a laptop without an ethernet port that uses an RTL8821CE network chipset. I'm trying to find the software I need so I can copy it over with a jumpdrive to install it, but I can't find it online. [00:09] I've found https://github.com/endlessm/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce, but I really don't want to have to copy all the packages required to build it via a jump drive. Is there a prebuilt copy somewhere? [00:10] smrtz: it shouldn't require more than build-essential [00:11] jerichowasahoax: Alright, I'll try grabbing that and that repo. [00:12] It looks like that repo is a full kernel, do you think I should be able to just make the makefile in that directory and install it? [00:13] smrtz: building custom kernels is considered "hard mode", meaning support could get spottier for you [00:13] smrtz: but it's not as hard as it looks ;-) you up to it? [00:13] jerichowasahoax: Yeah, which is why I'd like to avoid it and just build the kernel module(?) if possible? [00:13] Yeah, I've done it before, but, I have a feeling I'll be in dependency hell. [00:14] it might be but i haven't really done that kind of thing before [00:15] i've got an rtl8812au, and my module ended up being its own separate repo that just mooches off existing kernel sources [00:15] so as far as rtl88* pains go, it looks like i got off easy [00:15] smrtz: do you not happen to have another way to get the computer online temporarily? like a usb wireless 'dongle' or a smartphone hich can do usb tethering? [00:15] tomreyn: Nope, just this. [00:16] jerichowasahoax: Lucky. [00:17] hey guys [00:18] Hola coz_ [00:18] smrtz, hey guy [00:19] ubuntu 18.04.1..Updates failed to download repository information..check your internet connection..info from repository.https://pastebin.com/h3fTV1WS [00:20] texla: what does "date -u" return? [00:24] tomreyn, Mon Aug 13 19:23:26 UTC 2018 [00:25] texla: now without -u, and then compare it to your wall clock [00:26] -u is universal time coordinated (UTC), valid world-wide, and this is currently 00:25, not 19:25 [00:26] tomreyn, Mon Aug 13 14:25:23 CDT 2018 [00:26] .I show 2:23 pm [00:27] so something is wrong with your time settings. a common problem is running windows and linux on the same computer. windows will set your hardware clock to local time, when linux expects it to be UTC. [00:28] tomreyn, The time on my screen is incorrect it is actually 7:34 pm will correct [00:29] texla: just why did it happen in the first place? do you multi boot? [00:30] Currently on my third round of dependencies trying to just get libc6-dev installed.... is build-essential and it's dependencies on the live ISO? [00:30] I can install packages from there if I remember correctly? [00:30] tomreyn, I have 3 o/s on the internal hdd and 2 o/s on the external usb enclosure with sata hdd [00:31] okay, if some set HW clock to utc, oithers to local time, that's a nice mess for sure. [00:31] you'll need to make them all do one or the other. [00:32] tomreyn, Okay I normally use local time but will check and reset all [00:33] texla: timedatectl --help to get started with this on ubuntu, but i suggest you better make them all do what ubuntu already does: set hardware clock to UTC [00:33] jerichowasahoax: Do you know if I can add a Live USB as a source? [00:34] smrtz: you can, but i don't know if build-essential is in there [00:34] Hmm. [00:34] smrtz, to my knowledge build-essentials are not on live iso, most users aren't developers [00:35] Yeah, I can't find the .dep within the CD... [00:36] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/apt-offline.8.html [00:36] But some of the dependencies for it might be on the live CD. [00:36] So it's worth mounting. [00:37] tomreyn: thanks. [00:38] :) [00:40] tomreyn, Reset time on Ubuntu and recieved current updates ..Thanks for the help [00:43] copying the ISO to the computer to use with apt-cdrom [00:44] welcome texla === amadeo_bee is now known as amadeobee [00:58] tomreyn, why did texla get that specific error message though? Updates failed to download repository information..check your internet connection [00:59] if its a time issue [01:03] sonicwind: i think this is a follow-up error, and error message, where apt realizes that some repository information could not be updated, or could not be used. it ignores this possible cause and just discusses the other possible cause which is network connectivity issues. === ASTRA is now known as 32NABZBLA [01:04] sonicwind: it would probably be good to improve this error message to cover the time mismatch issue, too. but then the other messages about 'not valid, yet' are quite specific as to the root cause. [01:04] yeah, I'd have never thought of a time issue [01:05] this interests me because I will soon be using both Win 10 and Ubuntu again [01:06] sonicwind: there's some registry key you can set on windows to make it behave as everything else *there* at least [01:06] yeah but I'd rather have it always as local... I always set Ubuntu to local (Chicago) [01:06] so does texla have to do this every time he's gonna switch between OS? [01:10] maybe setting "Automatic Time Zone" in Gnome would help with this [01:11] sonicwind: i think you're mixing up having the OS know what the local time zone is and presenting the time to the user accordingly, and updating the hardware clock to either UTC or the local timezone. the later is what this is about. [01:11] ok === gdibasss is now known as gdibass [01:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple_Boot_Systems_Time_Conflicts [01:12] thanks... will read this [01:17] dear all, how to fix error phpmyadmin with php7 on ubuntu..?

[02:04] !hwe | UbuntuNetwork [02:04] tomreyn: Error: "hwe" is not a valid command. [02:04] UbuntuNetwork: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [02:05] im wating for ubuntu 18.10 that comes with linux kernel 5.0 maybe that will have updated settings and drivers [02:06] my wifi works just has low signal and disconnects now and then [02:07] UbuntuNetwork: you'd better find out which chipset you have and see what options you have now.

[02:45] There are 3 versions in the Windows Store. I'm talking about the one that is not pegged to a major release (the one that's called just "Ubuntu") [02:46] I'm trying to upgrade it from Xenial to Bionic by running `sudo do-release-upgrade` because that's supposed to be the supported way, according to the description in Windows Store.

[03:26] http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg [03:49] Is `do-release-upgrade` supposed to automatically update the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list? [03:55] k_sze[work]: It should. Also, any third-party PPAs you have setup there are normally disabled during the upgrade process. [03:56] Then it looks like there are still quite a few things to iron out about Ubuntu in WSL. [03:56] do-release-upgrade doesn't work quite as smoothly as it should. [03:57] anyeone here willing to help with apache LAMP wordpress install issues? [03:57] k_sze[work]: That's why I opt to do a clean install instead, formatting my / (my /home is on it's own partition and left untouched) [04:05] Sepulther: it's better if you ask the real question that's got you snagged, what _about_ your setup isn't working [04:06] Citizen-Se7en: you do that in WSL?

[06:49] yao_ziyuan: if the system didnt crash before it managed to log anything, you might find some information using 'journalctl' [06:50] yao_ziyuan: for instance this should give you a quite verbose log of the previous boot: journalctl -x --boot=-1 -p1..4 [06:52] hej === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [06:54] are there any decent ARM laptops out there that run Ubuntu?

[09:08] Destination host unreachable [09:09] escanor: what about ping 192.168.1.1 ? [09:09] I'm guessing that's gateway [09:09] blackflow: Same host unreachable [09:10] escanor: and if you disable wifi?

[09:16] Hello everyone! I had an installation of 16.04 and I was installing 18.04.1 using a bootable USB without formatting / so that home's contents remain intact. Everything went fine until the grub installation failed because it attempted UEFI installation but I was using legacy earlier. So I created a 200MB FAT32 bootable partition, ran install again and then ran boot repair. Boot repair said repair was successful but when I try to boot the disk, it says [09:16] failed to mount /dev/sda1(the EFI partition): bad superblock. Could someone help fix this issue? [09:16] escanor: please pastebin the output of ip addr show and ip route show don't use netstat, it's deprecated and doesn't support all the functionality needed nowadays [09:16] blackflow: how can i solve this issue === ogra_ is now known as ogra [09:17] ok [09:18] dnivra: can you boot a live usb right now?

I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 (Kernel 4.15). I wanted to remove ubuntu-session and replace it with the default vanilla gnome-session. gnome-session installs and runs fine, but as soon as I remove ubuntu-session, gnome-session no longer works: Trying to log into it causes a login loop (tested GDM3 and LightDM). The only way in which I can use the vanilla gnome-session is if ubuntu-session is also installed, even if I have all of the [09:22] dependencies of ubuntu-session installed. Is there any way I could remove ubuntu-session while being able to log into gnome-session? [09:23] blackflow: Sorry for late reply please find the output of the command:https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mtt7pmCb7j/ [09:23] dnivra: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt [09:24] EriC^^: done mounting. [09:24] dnivra: "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i;done" [09:26] escanor: that looks more or less fine, but if it doesn't work, there's probably a conflict. use either cable or wifi, in that network, dont' use both. for example, that route shows default goes over wifi, so the cable has no use except for LAN access due to that metric [09:27] EriC^^: done mounting [09:28] blackflow: Yup i need to use the lan cable as normal lan setting it up as different network [09:28] dnivra: sudo chroot /mnt [09:28] But when i do so the internet stops working [09:29] EriC^^: chrooted into /mnt. [09:29] dnivra: mount -a [09:29] escanor: right so use one or the other. they're both in the same subnet, so why do you need the cable specifically? [09:29] EriC^^: done [09:30] dnivra: "cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999" [09:30] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/ktjf [09:31] dnivra: hmm does sda1 show mounted under /boot/efi in "lsblk" output? === captain__broken is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [09:32] blackflow: will changing subnet resolve issue [09:32] EriC^^: Yes I think it does. I see a line "├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot/efi". Full output of lsblk: http://termbin.com/i201 [09:32] dnivra: is this the only hdd attached to the pc when you're trying to boot? [09:32] escanor: possibly. [09:33] EriC^^: Yes this is the only HDD I have. I remove the live USB and no other USB is attached when booting. [09:33] dnivra: ok, let's try to format the efi partition again in case it helps [09:33] dnivra: umount /boot/efi [09:34] dnivra: mkfs.fat /dev/sda1 [09:34] EriC^^: sure. I should umount and mkfs.fat from within chroot right? [09:34] blackflow: please correct my understanding if wrong: Subnet divides network logically into diff network. Here I have same ip range for lan and wifi. If i change the subnet mask so probably it will resolve the conflict [09:34] dnivra: get the new uuid from "blkid /dev/sda1" and replace it in the last line in /etc/fstab === giantm-away is now known as giantm [09:35] dnivra: yes [09:35] escanor: no. your router has to designate different subnets/vlans. [09:36] EriC^^: done formatting and replacing the UUID in fstab. [09:36] dnivra: great, "mount /boot/efi" then "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" [09:37] dnivra: please also run "ls /sys/firmware/efi" and confirm that you get a bunch of dirs back [09:37] EriC^^: The ls lists a bunch of files and 3 folders - efivars, runtime-map and vars. [09:38] ok, great [09:38] EriC^^: Output of dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999 - http://termbin.com/xg77 [09:39] dnivra: apt-get purge grub-pc grub-pc-bin [09:40] dnivra: also apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed [09:40] EriC^^: The grub-pc purge says it's going to remove "grub-gfxpayload-lists* grub-pc* grub-pc-bin*" and install grub-efi-amd64. Shall I continue? [09:40] dnivra: yes [09:41] blackflow: ok thanks [09:42] blackflow: So i should remove lan and try to estblish connection using the wlan [09:42] EriC^^: okay it's attempting to retrieve stuff from the CDROM. I commented out the CDROM line from sources.list and ran apt-get update. Waiting for update to complete. [09:43] dnivra: kind of odd but ok [09:43] dnivra: this is from inside the chroot, right? [09:43] escanor: either one or the other, as a first step to see if everything works okay like that. [09:44] EriC^^: Yes from within the chroot. I think the install didn't complete and so the CDROM sources line was probably not removed from the sources.list? [09:44] blackflow: ok thanks a lot :) [09:44] dnivra: yeah maybe that's it [09:47] EriC^^: Done purging and reinstalling grub-efi-amd64-signed [09:48] I got a display from grub-pc seeking confirmation to all grub2 files being deleted. I answered yes. [09:48] dnivra: great, just for bad uefi implementation's sake, run "mkdir -p /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot /boot/efi/efi/boot" [09:48] dnivra: then "cp /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi" [09:49] dnivra: as well as "cp /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi" [09:49] dnivra: and finally "cp /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot" [09:49] EriC^^: There's no directory "/boot/efi/efi/ubuntu" [09:50] dnivra: is there a /boot/efi/efi/grub dir? [09:51] EriC^^: /boot/efi/efi has only dirs - boot and microsoft/boot. No files [09:51] dnivra: aha, try "grub-install && update-grub" [09:53] EriC^^: okay. grub-install printed out a few "GUID Partition Table Header signature is wrong" messages but finally says "Installation finished. No error reported." Are those signature is incorrect messages important? [09:55] dnivra: no i think it just expects a GPT partition table and is saying their wrong cause you have msdos partition table [09:55] it should still work though, linux doesn't mind msdos + uefi [09:55] dnivra: has /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu become populated? [09:56] also can you please run "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" once more? [09:56] EriC^^: /boot/efi/efi/grub has grubx64.efi in it. Is that sufficient? [09:57] yeah that's ok, there's been a bug lately about that, can you run "ls -lR /boot/efi | nc termbin.com 9999" ?

Here's output of ls command: http://termbin.com/dhez and output of the dpkg -l command: http://termbin.com/vx1f [09:58] zerobaud: try "apt-file" "apt-file search vis.h" [09:59] EriC^^: will do that, thanks! [10:00] dnivra: it looks good, also they seem to have fixed the bug too [10:00] dnivra: try rebooting [10:00] zerobaud: no problem [10:00] EriC^^: one of the listed packages "libbsd-dev: /usr/include/bsd/vis.h" is already installed, I will try freebsd-glue as well.. [10:01] actually thats the wrong vis.h (from freebsd), I need the one of libbsd-dev [10:01] EriC^^: Goes straight to grub command line. [10:01] zerobaud: maybe you need to point the compiler to it, try joining and asking in #debian as they know more than here :) === Richard is now known as Guest20805 [10:02] EriC^^: will try, thanks! [10:02] dnivra: ok, that sounds like the bug it had before [10:02] <^Phantom^0> http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg [10:02] dnivra: type "echo $prefix" [10:02] zerobaud: yw :) [10:03] EriC^^: (hd0,msdos1)/EFI/ubuntu. I guess we need to change some bios or grub settings? [10:03] Hey, is it possible to bind a python script to a specific network interface ? [10:04] dnivra: yeah, exactly [10:04] dnivra: type "configfile (hd0,msdos2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg" [10:07] EriC^^: that showed a pretty weird grub display with blue colours. Booted the top entry "GNU/Linux" and I ran into same error that /boot/efi - wrong fs type, bad superblock, bad option etc [10:08] Got a weird issue with a debootstrap-ed 18.04 LUKS install - in the chroot GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y is being recognised but ignored by both grub-install and update-grub! Any ideas!? [10:08] when I have a global variable, can I call it from bash script? [10:09] akkonrad: you can reference it from a sub-shell *if* it was EXPORTed [10:11] dnivra: odd, try booting the live usb again [10:11] Hello there. i have ubuntu 18 and installed network tools, ifconfig shows my netwoks with names: en eno1, enp2s0. is it normal? [10:11] im used to the eth0, eth1 [10:12] dnivra: when it boots, type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" then "cat /mnt/efi/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:15] EriC^^: Contents of efi/grub/grug.cfg in the EFI partition - http://termbin.com/6az5 [10:19] dnivra: ok, type "sudo mkdir /mnt/efi/ubuntu" [10:19] dnivra: then type "sudo cp /mnt/efi/grub/* /mnt/efi/ubuntu" [10:19] EriC^^: Done creating folder and copying the files. [10:20] dnivra: ok, let's try removing the efi from the fstab just to see what happens, run "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /cdrom" [10:20] then edit /cdrom/etc/fstab and comment out the line with /boot/efi [10:23] EriC^^: Okay so fstab in /dev/sda2 will have details of only 2 partitions: swap and / right? (Also - /cdrom is already in use by live USB; used a different mount point) [10:23] dnivra: yes, correct, alright [10:24] try rebooting [10:27] EriC^^: Success it works now! [10:27] Logged in and things seem to be okay. [10:28] dnivra: great [10:29] dnivra: can you run "sudo blkid | nc termbin.com" [10:29] sorry [10:29] dnivra: can you run "sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:29] dnivra: as well as "hexdump -C /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:30] can anybody help me im on ubuntu 18.04 and my wireless card AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [10:30] keeps disconnecting i read that my driver r8169 is very buggy can anybody hedlp me? [10:30] help* [10:31] EriC^^: have you ever seen grub-install/update-grub ignore GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y (18.04) ? [10:31] might be a good idea asking that in #linux-wireless gt8ost4l [10:32] SimonNL, let me guess another refference [10:32] EriC^^: blkid output is http://termbin.com/digz and hexdump of fstab is http://termbin.com/jaor [10:32] gt8ost4l: isn't the AR9485 by Atheros, not Realtek ? [10:32] TJ-, yes [10:32] TJ-: nope [10:33] TJ-: maybe they fixed that bug thing and now it's =1 intead of =y ? [10:33] gt8ost4l: use "lspci -nnk" to show which driver the device is using, to be sure if it is the r8169 [10:33] EriC^^: I look in the source and it looks to be correct. Weird how I've never hit it until now! [10:34] TJ-, which one it shows many [10:34] gt8ost4l: show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nnk )" [10:35] dnivra: no weird characters, i wonder why it wont mount it [10:35] hi [10:36] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wcK4PpbmkJ/ [10:37] dnivra: try creating a fresh line there in case i missed something, this is what i have for my 16.04 install, "UUID=0A87-44C2 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1" [10:39] gt8ost4l: the AR9485 is using the ath9k driver; the wired ethernet is using the r8169 [10:40] EriC^^: I added the line again you shared just now(changed UUID), rebooted. I encounter the same problem - it's not able to mount /dev/sda1 to /boot/efi. [10:40] TJ-, yes what else [10:41] gt8ost4l: is it the wireless that drops out? I'd first check the frequency band see if it is interference from other APs [10:42] EriC^^: But it works without that line so I guess it's probably not required? [10:42] TJ-, how do i check that out [10:42] dnivra: it's required for like updates, if they ever update something then the efi partition wouldnt get updated [10:43] dnivra: i have no idea why it wont mount it, maybe TJ- might know [10:43] TJ-: dnivra 's efi partition wont get mounted while booting "bad superblock, option or something else", from a live usb it mounts perfectly fine using mount /boot/efi , and we mkfs.fat the partition and it still errors out [10:44] dnivra: i'm off to lunch, hope you guys can crack this one, good luck and have a nice day :) [10:45] EriC^^: Thanks a lot for all the help! Very much appreciated. I'll see if the other problem can be figured out. Enjoy your lunch! [11:06] looks like Bionic upgrade is now available: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts [11:06] dnivra: no problem! you're very welcome, thanks [11:09] Hi all, just upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and python-visual is gone. Anyone else missing this, or know of a viable alternative? [11:11] http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg http://magaimg.net/img/wqz.jpg [11:16] m4r35n357: python-visual (vpython.org) is not longer developed. python-vispy (vispy.org) can be a viable alternative [11:18] tomreyn, where were you the other day? [11:19] m4r35n357: there is also pymol (pymol.org) [11:20] gt8ost4l: not sure which day you mean (let's talk about non-support topics in -offtopic, please) [11:20] tomreyn, can i pm you [11:20] Hello, i used this guide https://www.tecmint.com/configure-network-bonding-teaming-in-ubuntu/ to create a network bond in my ubuntu 18. Is that guide correct? by bond doesnt work, i must connect by wifi [11:21] gt8ost4l: yes [11:21] EriC^: Solved my issue - I created the LUKS /boot/ as --type=luks2 but GRUB still only supports luks1 - duh!! [11:23] anybdoy up to helping me create a network bond on ubuntu 18, ty [11:26] k [11:27] :) [11:28] TJ-: ah, great! :) [11:29] tomreyn, thx, investigating [11:29] \tomreyn, thx, investigating [11:29] oops [11:29] been a while . . === rory_ is now known as guest [11:29] EriC^: So I find that the system mount can't mount the EFI partition but it does work fine in live USB. Hence, I'm thinking it might be something wrong in mount? [11:30] wendico: have a look at https://netplan.io/examples#bonding [11:30] wendico: is that using systemd-networkd? === guest is now known as rory [11:35] Hi all! I need help with a suspicious problem. I get a blank screen with a cursor after I log in. I'm using the default GNOME desktop on 18 [11:35] 18 [11:35] *18.04 [11:36] Is this a common problem? [11:37] dnivra: does the mount error come up in a initramfs shell style? [11:39] EriC^: It comes up in boot time and says "press ctrl+d for maintenance" which drops to be a bash shell. I also tried mounting the EFI partition after commenting the line in /etc/fastab and logging in: still same error [11:40] dnivra: i'm a little confused what you mean in the second sentence about mounting [11:41] you commented out the line in fstab, i thought it reached the desktop successfully? or you mean with it commented out you tried mounting it from the maintenance shell? [11:41] EriC^: Yes I reached desktop and I tried mounting the EFI partition after logging into the desktop [11:41]
