On an old desktop, I could then boot Ubuntu off the disk. However, when trying to boot it on a new Windows 10 / UEFI laptop, it just dumps me at a Grub prompt. What do I do here? I'm not advanced enough to do this. [01:38] neildugan i tried booting using a usb stick its the same problem [01:39] karthyk: same problem as me? [01:39] when i run systemd-analyze blame it showing that my computer booted up in a minuite but actually it took like 15mins [01:40] karthyk, you can quickly look at hdd health via gnome-disks (use your live system) or `smartctl` (a lot more info but harder to read) - just a thought [01:40] i tried booting up with a usb stick forget about hdd [01:40] same problem [01:40] not the hard disk [01:42] karthyk, did you remove the hdd when booting from the usbstick [01:42] no i choosed usb in boot menu [01:42] i didnt physically remvoe it tho [01:43] karthyk, try physically removing it (unpluging the sata data cable is enough) then boot off the usdstick and see how that goes [01:43] ok i will try now [01:45] its the same problem nothing changed [01:47] it just stuck at welcome to grub message for like 10 minutes [01:48] torebro, where did you install grub to? if it was the hdd on your old desktop; it will fail on any machine that doesn't have that hdd installed. you need grub to point to the usb device (stage 1 is first sector/mbr; later stages are /boot which can be a different drive - your old desktop drive maybe?)

[02:06] ok [02:07] karthyk: you have a bad hard drive ... and you're not running ubuntu === Numline1 is now known as Guest17889 [02:08] torebro, the grub prompt you describe sounds like grub stage 1 not finding the later stage; so you may not have intended to install grub, but I bet you did. I would have installed grub to the usb device, it'd have included menu to whatever else was on the old-desktop, which you can remove later (or make it match where you will mostly use it). you can boot from grub rescue, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ [02:08] Grub2/Troubleshooting [02:19] guiverc: the Ubuntu installer never asked me where to install GRUB. [02:19] I just chose the target drive and clicked Continue [02:21] I can't troubleshoot GRUB, the tiny font on my 15" 4k screen gave me a headache and I had to give up [02:21] I think I'm gonna give up [02:24] the Ubuntu installer has another huge issue from a usability POV: the screen where you select the target drive is AFTER the one where you select "Normal installation" and click the "Install now" button (where you're warned all data will be lost). So to the average user (i.e. me), they have no idea what's gonna happen when you click Install Now. I felt it was a 50/50 chance if I get asked to [02:24] pick a drive on the next screen, or if Ubuntu will auto-select my single HDD and wipe my data. [02:24] It should be a Continue button, then after you select the target drive, THEN show Install Now button [02:37] torebro, that opinion is more a 'bug' that would need to be reported on launchpad (user experience on installer) as it's mainly users here. i usually setup my partitions outside installer, always use 'something else' & use what I wrote down on my recycled-envelope before hand. you could fix your 'usb-thumb-drive' on a different system (as long as not the old-desktop); as you want it to work via usb only anyway...

[03:40] Hello, I was wondering if someone may be able to assist me with a query regarding the installation of ubuntu on a HDD. I am currently on a laptop running Windows 10, which has a 128 GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. The Windows OS is currently stored on the SSD and I use the HDD as a storage device. There is about 700GB of freespace on the HDD and so I would like to partition about 250GB of it to be used for Ubuntu. 1) Is this possible? 2) W [03:40] 2) Will it affect the data currently stored on my Hdd? [03:41] qwebirc3653: yes its possible, but before proceed read these closely: [03:41] !dualboot | qwebirc3653 [03:41] qwebirc3653: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:41] !uefi | qwebirc3653 [03:41] qwebirc3653: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

I would like to partition this 765 into 250GB + 415 GB, then install Ubuntu from a live USB on the 250 GB partition. This will not affect the currently occupied ~230 GB of data right? Thanks again [03:46] 250 + 515 GB* [03:52] qwebirc3653: its no problem to make a new partition in free space of a hd [03:52] qwebirc3653: a sane way to do it, we see alot of users creating this new partition from windows for an easy ubuntu setup [03:54] So windows will see the HDD as ~750 GB instead of ~1TB after the partition yes? [03:54] and I can continue using that 750 normally on windows for storage [03:54] qwebirc3653: yes [03:55] thank you very much, I will make a backup and try it out :) [03:55] qwebirc3653: if its free space right [03:55] qwebirc3653: how much data is occupied on that 1TB? [03:55] 148 GB right now [03:55] 765 is free [03:55] qwebirc3653: ok plenty free left then! [03:55] you are good to go [03:56] thanks!

[07:06] lotuspsychje, Spookan - another DVD I just put in - this time no DVD menu ever launches and after a few seconds VLC displays an error. This particular disc is TRON Legacy region 1 put out by Disney. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9WnBPYtnNM/ [07:08] BlackDalek: try to set the right region to your dvdplayer, for the right dvd/region you are trying to play [07:09] Problem: git log,man command, git commit and other commands where the terminal becomes interactive and the user can type or navigate around is not working. I type the command and the next prompt appears instead of executing the command. [07:09] What I did: I don't remember doing anything specific, but I installed a terminal emulator called alacritty https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty. This problem did not crop up immediately though. I also messed around changing /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator to the new emulator but later changed it back. [07:09] Exceptions:the same commands when output to a file are working fine. eg:"git log > log.txt works" ! 'info' and 'less' commands seem to work even though they are the interactive type. [07:09] lotuspsychje, I am very wary of setting the drive to a particular region as I own DVDs from multiple regions and don't want the drive to lock up after 4 region changes. [07:10] BlackDalek: Why not rip them and make them region free? [07:11] hi [07:13] Spookan, I could, but why should I need to make duplicate files of content I already have when they should just play from the discs anyway? [07:13] Spookan, plus that takes a lot of extra time I don't want to spend ripping discs. [07:15] Spookan, also. Ripping them won't always fix the problem if the menus still don't function properly on the ripped copies. [07:15] dont rip the menus. [07:15] just rip the movie. [07:15] dvds suck anyway dude. [07:15] hahahaa1 [07:15] BlackDalek: doublecheck the troubleshooting at bottom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [07:15] BlackDalek: Well if it's a diffrent region, then you can change it or rip it, otherwise you can't watch it. Or maybe you can make your dvd player/burner region free, but that's another story. ;) [07:15] Thanos, I like the menus sometimes ;) [07:16] muflihin_: can we help you? [07:16] nay [07:22] any good ripping programs for 18.04 === ogra_ is now known as ogra [07:26] !info handbrake | Txlinux1 [07:26] Txlinux1: handbrake (source: handbrake): versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder (GTK+ GUI).

[07:31] haha slap on the hand [07:33] been having a problem using a graphical sudo in gnome on 18.04 amy ideas on a good app for that [07:33] Is it necessary to install VBox Guest Extensions in Ubuntu from the "Insert G A CD" if the operating system is offering them already? Does anyone know the difference between the regular GA and GA-HWE? [07:43] been having a problem using a graphical sudo in gnome on 18.04 amy ideas on a good app for that or a workaround [07:44] hi..I have core 2 du , 3GB ram and Nvidia geforce 310 GPU . I am confused should I install Ubuntu 64 bit default or Ubuntu MATE 32 bit..Please help me decide [07:44] As it is apparently imposible to set region 0 with regionset, I think the solution to the DVD menus problem is to just accept that linux is going to have issue with some (not all) DVDs and just stick with using a dedicated region free play DVD player. [07:45] BlackDalek: Or you make your dvd player region free with a new firmware in it. [07:48] me-1: core 2 duo is a 64-bit cpu [07:48] so you can use ubuntu amd64 [07:49] tomreyn, 3GB DDR2 ram is enough..? and what advantage(s) 64-bit has over 32-bit [07:49] me-1: the default ubuntu no longer comes with 32-bit installers (other flavors still do), but this should tell you something about how much longer 32-bit will be supported in general. [07:52] me-1: since 64-bit is the 'default' nowadays, this is the primary target for anything, which can result in (and has resulted in) getting faster security patches and bug fixes. 64-bit intel also allows for addressing more memory than 32-bit could, but this wont be relevant in your case. you should try to install more memory, or to replace this no longer supported hardware soon. === severin is now known as Fish-Guts [07:54] tomreyn, Thank you for the info . I really appriciate your help . Have a nice time [07:54] "no longer supported" as in https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/04/05/intel-stop-meltdown-spectre-updates-for-old-cpus/ [07:54] me-1: you, too [08:01] hy. my ssh server times out after I killed apt-get. Ping is okay but no ssh connection possible. is there anything i can remotely do about this? [08:03] Fish-Guts: not really, unless you have some means of out of band access, or another ssh session still open. [08:04] tomreyn, i have a second machine that allows SSH connections, but I don't think I can connect directly to that one, can I? I have no subdomain mapped to it directly [08:04] that second is actually the one I eventually want to connect to [08:05] Fish-Guts: i 'm afraid i do not know your network, router and firewall configuration. [08:05] domains do not matter, addressing (IPv4/6), routing and firewalls do. [08:07] what is between you and the two ssh servers? [08:07] i'm a litle stunned, because of this: i connected to machine A using SSH. through that machine i connected to a PC (machine B) in my remote network. Then I performed some package installation which were hanging so I killed the terminal. But now I cannot connect to machine A even though i did nothing there except use it a proxy to connect [08:08] maybe ssh was being upgraded when you killed the terminal. be sure to run remote package updates from within a terminal multiplexter such as tmux, screen, byobu. [08:09] were you running apt on machine A or B? [08:09] machine B [08:09] ok, then this part is unrelated [08:09] machine A is my raspberry pi which I use to connect to my network remotely [08:10] that's unless machine B provides internet connectivity to machine A [08:10] it doesn't [08:11] are these systems remote to you? [08:13] yes [08:13] if they are, and if their availability is important to you, too, you should setup out of band management for them. [08:13] well it's more a convenience thing [08:13] i was just a littled startled beause I actually didn't do anything on my raspberry pi except use it as a gateway to connect to my PC [08:15] SOC computers are great, but they don't always use the greatest parts and are not always reliable. [08:16] tell me about it [08:19] Fish-Guts: something like https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm is a better platform to build remote access systems (also a lot more expensive, though).

Can anyone help me understand this (from glances) -- Is the load on the box (using all cpus) just 2.9%? and how does load affect this [08:55] mutesheep: are you asking how load affects load? [08:59] mutesheep: the system load average, as indicated by /proc/loadavg (as well as several commands, such as 'uptime', 'w', 'top', 'htop' etc.), will match the output of this command when all cpu threads are in use: lscpu -p | grep -cv '^#' [09:05] i signed up for the Livepatch stuff for a personal VM running on DigitalOcean. i'm running 18.04.1 LTS but kernel is 4.15 [09:05] the docs said it needs to be 4.4, is that just an old pdf on their website? [09:12] On my 18.04 desktop, ubuntu is contantly notifying about available software update, yet apt report everything updated. So I enter the ubuntu software and it sais I have an update on "ThinkPad P51". If I press "update", it comes back again after a few seconds. How can I inspect why it doesn't update, and how can I do that from command line? Apparently its not apt based. [09:17] Question: Can the region code set on a store bought commercial DVD be responsible for DVD menu systems not working properly? Or are problems with the DVD's menu system not connected with region coding? [09:19] let me rephrase to make the question on-topic... Question: Can the region code set on a store bought commercial DVD be responsible for DVD menu systems not working properly in Ubunutu linux? Or are problems with the DVD's menu system in linux software players not connected with region coding? [09:22] I would have thought that if the problem was connected with region code set on drive vs. region cde set on disc, then the disc would not play at all... but what I am seeing is discs whose content plays fine but the menus don't work properly or as expected. [09:33] Hi All, is there any command to download the source code of the kernel for Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS?
