[00:00] bambam: i didn't actually finish the installation, noticed it does a uefi installation which means it is going to work out fine. [00:00] FXpro: my friend that's the globalism that was sold to us in the past 30 years. There's no more western companies, just multinationals who will sell out our jobs and souls to make an extra buck. [00:00] tomreyn: no problem, I'll do it now, and hopefully the result boots on the laptop [00:01] !irclogs | also see my earlier statements after you said you'd leave, bambam [00:01] also see my earlier statements after you said you'd leave, bambam: Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meetingology logs at https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ [00:01] if you mismatch your software & desktop (lubuntu pre 18.10 uses gtk+2) users often assume a lighter DE will be faster, yes it is, but sometimes no too, but wrong choice of apps can waste memory & another choice may be faster for YOUR needs - ie. if you do the hoemwork, you can work out what is fastest for you.. [00:02] dar123: if you need example, just ask - i prefer working-out-myself (helps me remember/learn it) & assume others are the same.. [00:02] IRC logs are not real-time I guess. #ubuntu.txt 's last entry is half-way through our conversation before I left, when we were talking about GPT/MBR [00:03] nm, when I refreshed it got an extra hour [00:03] I guess it updates every hour [00:04] I saved your instructions, in case BIOS booting becomes a necessity one day [00:05] lubuntu comes with java and wine? or if not it is easy to get it on there? [00:06] sudo apt install wine default-jre [00:06] and bambam, yes that is correct. btw, they can eat a big fat bag of dks. no wonder they want to kill nationalist patriot trump. [00:07] actually all those complainers over the president are simply cry babies who cant take heat. [00:08] and the censorship stuff, that is going to lead to an antitrust situation to break up these people's monopoly on the flow of information and freedom of speech which they are violating. likely a huge drop in te FAANG stocks as a result. [00:08] so this channel is really just meant for ubuntu support. there are #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-discuss (on topic discussion), also. [00:09] *SHRUGS* just saying.... === exojelly is now known as cosjelly [00:18] FXpro, pretty sure steamos comes with wine installed, so try that OS [00:18] FXpro, windows also comes with a version of wine installed as well [00:18] but its a weird one [00:19] It works with most things, which is bizarre for a wine clone [00:33] hmmm, interesting. but i can just install wine onto lubuntu too so [00:40] what replaced daemon.log in ubuntu 16.04? [00:40] hi people [00:41] Im trying to use compiz in my new ubuntu version [00:41] but it seams impossible [00:41] ubuntu mini?? [00:41] dont know [00:41] is that a thing worth trying or? [00:42] yep! [00:42] compiz is awesome [00:42] but I just install the new version [00:42] if you know a better version that feets better compus just say [00:43] FXpro: "sysop@x1804mini:~/uwn$" I so do prefer a minimal install :) [00:44] tomreyn: unfortunately, despite installing to the USB drive from an EFI VM, the result won't boot on the EFI laptop. Same as before, it just fails to boot and goes back to UEFI, with no error message. I guess this might be more of a UEFI issue than laptop. Sigh... [00:44] I saw it on the list of yumi which is what I am using to add these to a jump drive for testing. [00:46] FXpro: The minimal install, ya get a kernel, booting and and wired connection .. the rest you have to add . [00:48] tomreyn: I think this might be a Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1173457 [00:48] Launchpad bug 1396379 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1173457 installer uses first EFI system partition found even when directed otherwise" [Medium,Triaged] [00:50] tomreyn: I can't even boot the USB in the VM itself. It just dumps me to a GRUB prompt. [00:52] Bashing-om, not sexy enough for me. i just need something that works reliable and is functional. [00:53] lubuntu for this old dell d630 I am hopeful will fit the bill. [00:53] so far, mxlinux is working the best from what I have tested while distro hoping. [00:54] FXpro: :) .. lubuntu is good - going to LXQT next release though . [00:54] compiz whas my favorit thing in linux [00:55] but can not run in my version [00:59] bambam: :-/ sorry to hear this. maybe installing with the alternative server installer will yield different / better results, but this would mean you'd have to partition manually. the server live installer is yet another option, and lastly there's also debootstrap. but neither of these (except for the server live installer, i guess) are easy to use. [00:59] hellos, I've just finished an upgrade to 18.04.1 LTS and I'm getting DNS errors constantly, immediately after the first reboot. deleting and setting up the Wi-Fi connection fixes it until the next reboot. anyone have an idea what might be going on here? [01:02] tomreyn: problem with manual partitioning is that I have no clue how to enable encryption on it, it's not for casual users from what I can see on the wiki. I think I'm gonna look for another distro, hopefully their installers don't have any issues. Thanks for your advice! [01:05] bambam: i'm afraid there indeed seems to be no easy (GUI/automated) way to do this at this time. encryption can be added later, but this, too, means fiddling with partitions and working on a terminal. [01:05] crap, I got disconnected. [01:06] so far the installer of lubuntu is identical to that of peppermint os. [01:06] bambam: so... good luck finding something better ;) [01:06] I think peppermint os is simply a mod of lubuntu and the same crap :) [02:17] ummm, crap, problems again [02:18] I just got a System76 Oryx Pro. It has a nvidia 1060 graphic card. I can't get the system76 drivers to install. I can get the graphic card to be installed in the repository, but it still freezes on me. Such as reboot and homepage after typing in my password [02:21] Question. on a remote server there are a TON of files in some directories [02:21] instead of trying to mount directories locally in what seems to take forever to get a list of files [02:21] is there a way to open a file, from the server, n a way it shows up on my machine? [02:22] basiclaly, open the file, and have that one file communicated back [02:31] ZaZaQR: What release and what desktop ? Pastebin ' sudo lshw -C display ' to see if a driver is loaded . [02:32] ah, i'm using pop os right now [02:32] its the only stable working OS that works on this machine [02:35] the system76 drivers won't load [02:35] http://dpaste.com/3K1Q5ZD [02:37] ZaZaQR: Sorry, no experience with system76-driver-nvidia, I can not say . [02:38] sudo apt install nvidia-driver-396 [02:39] got me the graphic drivers [02:39] but the system still freezes on me. when i restart, shutdown and login [02:40] ZaZaQR, try something other than the gnome desktop [02:41] I got the Pop OS which comes with the nvidia and system76 drivers installed [02:41] it jsut works [02:41] I tried Linux Mint, same issue. [02:41] It I got the 64 bit Cinnamon [02:42] I even tried the beta Ubuntu 18.10 === theology is now known as audioburn [03:09] hello [03:09] is there anyway to see which version of gcc, was in each version of ubuntu? [03:11] ariyasu: Sure, See: https://packages.ubuntu.com/ . [03:12] ariyasu, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc will tell you the package versions (supported versions + artful anyway; some versions have multiple versions of gcc available) but aren't sure of way to see specific version of gcc default in each without manually looking [03:14] hi [03:14] anybody here [03:14] for help [03:14] nope :) [03:14] there is life [03:14] ask your Ubuntu Support question, and if someone knows the answer they will respond [03:14] k [03:15] how do you use Socks5 for global settings on Lubuntu 18 [03:15] thanks Bashing-om [03:15] ariyasu: :) [03:16] windows has Proxifier , why is Ubuntu so hard to figure out . i have tried redsocks dante, and i cannot get nothing to work [03:16] it is driving me insane , i have been trying for allmost 2 weeks [03:17] hey for ubuntu budgie, if you have a device that has only 2gb ram, 32gb hard disk space and has a 64bit cpu. should i put 32bit is on it or 64bit iso. because on download page it says: 64bit should be for computers with 4gb ram and those with uefi csm support. my system is uefi [03:21] ghostnik11, I wouldn't run budgie (gtk+3 is too heavy in sources in my opinion for 2gb), and would opt for 32bit because memory-addressing (non-local) is two bytes smaller... the 32bit difference isn't that great, but every bit helps in my opinion. try & see; more than just DEsktop would be used in what was right for me (eg. if you love gtk+3 apps, budgie is fine..) [03:23] guiverc: no i am trying to see if it will run okay on my baby 2 in 1 tablet that currently has lubuntu 18.04 and want to maybe just give it a test try. but i don't want the device to lag much when i used it to study. its the same asus t100ta model with 2gb ram and 32gb built in hard disk space on motherboard (mmcblk types) [03:24] ok i got ubuntu running in vm [03:24] how do i minimize an application [03:24] and also, how do i run a terminal? [03:24] guiverc: i think one guy over at google plus asus t100 ubuntu group has it. will ask and see how performance is [03:24] sorry ghostnik11 i misread your question. [03:25] ignore my last question, my misread meant my answer was unhelpful sorry! [03:25] guiverc: oh, okay. so i can go with 64bit iso? [03:25] s/my last question/my last response/ [03:26] * guiverc puts his glasses back on! [03:26] how do you use socks5 for global settings on lubuntu [03:26] https://i.imgur.com/SHImH9M.png [03:27] i see no minimize/maximise/close buttons in firefox :| and no start menu/program menu where i could load a terminal from [03:27] ghostnikill hey man i also have lubuntu 18, Do you know by chance how to set socks5 on it ? [03:28] yeah I believe if cpu is x86_64, bios/uefi is 64 bit then 64bit will work.. i'm told memory loss (due to memory-address word size difference) is minimal anyway [03:28] ariyasu: to resize the window, try double clicking its title bar, or right click on its icon on the panel and see if there's options for resizing there. [03:29] thanks tomreyn, that worked [03:30] any idea how i can get a terminal running / pin one to the title bar [03:30] ariyasu: the top left panel icon leads to the 'desktop menu', you can then type the name of an application, such as 'terminal' [03:30] once it's running, you can right-click on it the panel icon and pin it. [03:31] guiverc: i will download iso right away then put it through linuxium and give it a go. i want to see if its okay to use b/c it has touch screen support that allows my device to be used like touch screen on smart phone which would be better than the mouse pointer touch screen that i have in lubuntu currently [03:31] thank you very much tomreyn :) [03:31] ariyasu: pressing alt-f2 should also bring up a window to launch commands from, and a terminal can also be started by pressing ctrl-alt-t [03:33] welcome. this is ubuntu 16.04 with the unity shell / desktop. it is supported and will be for another three years. the current ubuntu release is 18.04, which builds on gnome 3 and gnome-shell. [03:36] ftmh17: are you trying to send *all* traffic througha socks proxy? [03:37] i see [03:45] I'm confused. `dir` works, but `ls` hangs trying to look at a mounted directory [03:46] spoke too soon, both hang now [03:50] hello [03:50] socks5 setup on Lubuntu 18 please help ? [03:53] does the terminal have some equivilent of the "cls" in windows? [03:54] cluelessperson: journalling file systems can grow very slow when they're nearly full. other reasons would be much concurrent throughput to this disk or others on the same controller, and disk defects (see 'dmesg -w') [03:54] ariyasu: reset [03:55] socks5 help , === Blade is now known as jakcyyy [03:56] ftmh17: there is "settings -> network -> network proxy -> socks", but i'm not convinced this will redirect all traffic through the proxy. making all traffic flow through a socks 5 proxy may be difficult and you may need to go to length such as these folks did for tor on tails: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/Tor_enforcement/Network_filter/ [03:56] im here [03:57] ftmh17: an easier approach is to use a vpn (but be sure to test it for dns leaks if that's a concern) [03:57] yeah i have nordvpn [03:57] why is ubuntu so hard to run network socks5 and on windows proxifier is so simple ? [03:59] if you are discussing application level traffic redirection through a socks proxy, then thats actually not difficult to set up at all [04:02] you probably want one of redsocks, tsocks, shadowsocks, torsocks then [04:02] i have been on redsocks for like 2 days now [04:02] and i cannot get it to work. [04:03] the above list was missing proxychains4 [04:03] i have read the instructions up and down , [04:03] im gonna jump in on this discussion about VPNs, because it seems like you guys know much more than I. Is it possible to access my clients connected to my VPN provider (PIA) as if they were on the same LAN? [04:03] i just am not understanding something, and then on top of that. there is only a handfull of instructions and they dont go into detail either [04:05] i guess i will keep trying with redsocks, i will come back should i need to get assistance [04:05] I love Linux (ubuntu) i mean i will never go back to Windows ever. but i shure do miss how simple windows was [04:06] ftmh17: can't help with redsocks, never used it. but this and proxychains4 (the '4' is relevant) seem to be your best options nowadays. [04:06] ill try [04:06] simplicity comes at a cost [04:06] i know, [04:06] Linux 4 Life.. : ) [04:10] havign trouble getting rw mount of multiple disks have 22 disks and sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/disk1 /dev/sda yields bad option [04:10] ftmh17: this is not supported here, but (not having actually reviewed the source code) i would expect this to be a good utility to handle your proxy and vpn connections: https://ipredator.se/netsplice [04:10] 1@1-1:~$ fdisk -l fdisk: cannot open /dev/sda: Permission denied fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: Permission denied fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: Permission denied fdisk: cannot open /dev/sde: Permission denied fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdd: Permission denied fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdf: Permission denied [04:11] AlwaysLEarning11, sudo fdisk -l [04:11] i can mount the didsk in read only by opening the disk usage analyser [04:11] but ir readonly [04:11] kk4ewt: i know it is sudo for that i just wanted listing [04:11] the sudo thing just fills the sscren [04:11] trying to get the mount command correct [04:12] AlwaysLEarning11: which ubuntu verison is this? [04:13] newest looking now beaver [04:13] !18.04 [04:13] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) is the 28th release of Ubuntu and the current LTS release. Download at https://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes [04:13] 18.04 lts [04:14] if you really want the long form from fdisk i can send it [04:14] AlwaysLEarning11: can you: sudo lsblk -o +LABEL,MODEL | pastebinit [04:14] but 22 hdds is alot of text [04:15] installing now [04:15] actually do: sudo lsblk -o +LABEL,MODEL 2>&1 | pastebinit [04:16] that's a lot of disks. is it a storage server? [04:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QN4hxZ5FZG/ <--- i trimmed it down some as some drives had companyt name [04:18] Just out of curiousity, I've been wanting to make a website for making articles on settings things up and understanding tech more. Do any of you think it would be successful? [04:18] AlwaysLEarning11: that's just 6 disks now. does your PSU provide enough current to handle all of those disks? [04:18] they all show up as readonly just fine [04:19] even if i have to go through them 6 at a time its fine [04:19] AlwaysLEarning11: are you mixing up disks with file systems? [04:19] my task is consolidate and destroy [04:19] where do your HDDs show up as read-only? [04:20] if i go to the disk usage analyser and i go down the list clicking them all they mount [04:20] but they mount as read only [04:20] then show up on the desktop /media [04:20] etc [04:20] when something "moounts", then it is a file system [04:21] each drive should have 1 main partition [04:21] so then i mean 22 drives [04:21] and 22 filing systems [04:21] wish there was a nice gui for all this [04:21] i have a feeling im goign to be typping a while [04:22] and also fixing my sticky keys from coke [04:22] a bad mix [04:23] so on what you posted we have 6 drives, one of which is an SD/MMC card. another one is an ssd, which this system was booted from. which leaves 4 HDDs, two of which have 2 partitions on them , the others just one parition. [04:24] tristam correct [04:24] all i care about is the main partitions not the boot or the 128M ones [04:25] im just throwing all the data onto two drives then tossing them in the trash [04:25] them=others [04:25] Hey, My Ubuntu was stoped when my WiFi aborted , but the mouse can move . ctrl+alt+f3 didn’t work。what should i do [04:26] Only reboot? [04:26] !sysrq | Rouner [04:26] Rouner: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:27] AlwaysLEarning11: normally, you should be able to mount these file systems using the graphical file browser [04:28] (which is called "nautilus") [04:29] currently they are mounted [04:29] Rouner: i'd also try some other TTYs, though, just to be sure. ctrl-alt-f4,5,6 [04:29] i just cant delete anything [04:29] or write [04:30] AlwaysLEarning11: which file system is it? "mount" will tell [04:30] went to properties->permissions [04:30] ntfs [04:31] ima ssumign whatever i just changing is gonna take a while as it just froze as i set everyone to read and write [04:31] wow that is bad, sorry for my disaster of a typing job. [04:31] ubottu: it will restore the process following that way? [04:31] Rouner: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:31] !ntfs [04:31] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:33] https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:33] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SmWTRG8zZY/ [04:34] AlwaysLEarning11: ntfs is a badly documented file system with a gazillion corner cases and without a full open source implementation. it has been mostly reverse engineered but if the file system was modified by linux or was found to be unclean or was ejected uncleanly by any OS, it will have the dirty bit set, and there is no way on linux to fully recover from that. [04:35] sigh, ok [04:35] so boot into windows [04:35] and just uise that [04:35] how can i elevate gui applications? [04:35] when the dirty bit is set, linux will only mount the file system read-only [04:35] i need an elevated text editor to edit a file [04:36] im assuming then best solution is to install windows and go from there? [04:36] ariyasu, elevated? as in elevated permissions, you can use `sudo gedit ..` from terminal if that is what you mean (assuming X and not wayland) [04:36] AlwaysLEarning11: you could run ntfsfix, which can handle some but not all causes of ntfs becoming 'dirty', it can be sufficient to make it writable again. [04:36] it's wayland im currently trying to disable guiverc [04:36] thanks i will try that [04:37] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bK63yQqby4/ [04:38] AlwaysLEarning11: the best way to work with a not fully specified OS dependant file system, is to work on the OS it is supposed to be sued with. [04:38] *used [04:38] ubottu: when I reboot with holding down the keys, it is nothing changed @_@ [04:38] Rouner: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:38] AlwaysLEarning11: are you sure that /dev/sda1 (one of the 128 MB partitions) hosts an NTFS? [04:39] erm ill look [04:40] ariyasu: gedit admin:///etc/fstab [04:40] tomreyn: yes tried on all of them [04:40] same message on all [04:41] seems im off to um...legally torrent windows [04:41] AlwaysLEarning11: well, i guess that's where you turn to the proprietor of your file system. [04:41] hmm moving on, i installed xfce4, when i log out to select it, then enter my pwd to log back in [04:41] it just keeps prompting me to enter pwd again [04:42] if i go back to ubuntu insted of xfce4 session, my pwd works again :| [04:42] one last q [04:42] in the future what is the most ubunut friently file system [04:42] that can deal with large files [04:42] >20gb [04:43] AlwaysLEarning11: if you want journalling, either ext4 or zfs, i guess. [04:45] AlwaysLEarning11: xfs may provide better performance with large files [04:46] tomreyn: any change files on a xfs can be read from windows.? [04:46] cross compatability would be nice [04:46] but i may be asking for a unicorn [04:49] AlwaysLEarning11: since windows is not really great at supporting many file systems, and microsoft not great at documenting their file systems, your options are limited. there are some attempts (by third parties) to provide, on windows, read access to file systems commonly used on linux systems. and there is this mostly but not entirely complete ntfs implementatio on linux. [04:50] AlwaysLEarning11: as you may know there is the 'windows subsystem for linux' with the 'ubuntu bash for windows'. it can handle the same file systems ubuntu can. [04:51] other than that there is FAT32, which works on both windows and most if not all linux distributions (and probably many other OS, too). it lacks most features of a modern file system, however. [04:52] where are the wine apps located? [04:52] fat32 has filesize limits too [04:53] exfat would be a good cross compatible file system [04:53] what makes you think so, ariyasu ? [04:54] well everything nativly supports it [04:54] and it doesn't have the 4gb filesize limits of fat32 [04:54] linux doesn't support exfat natively, no [04:54] hi'ya'll [04:54] oh [04:55] my bad [04:55] my firefox doent let me save pictures everytime i right click and save image as it fails why does this happen? [04:56] ah it started after some major updates my computer did online [04:56] vegombrei: did you restart firefox after those updates? if not, try again once you did [04:57] tomreyn: yeah i did also removed all the ad onns and plugins thought they were responsible but [04:58] videos i can save just images it fails [04:59] vegombrei: is this on every website page or just some? [05:01] vegombrei: for example, could you save this? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Swami_Vivekananda_Jaipur.jpg [05:01] tomreyn: nope [05:01] vegombrei: how exactly do you try, and what happens when you do? and which ubuntu version and firefox version is this? [05:07] whats the sudo apt-get command to remove firefox? i wanna try reinstalling it [05:07] im new i dont know this so well is it sudo aot-get remove firefox? [05:08] try a new profile [05:09] try sudo apt remove firefox [05:11] My UEFI Dell system is refusing to boot with a security access violation after my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop ran out of battery power after it installed a kernel upgrade (I didn't have a chance to reboot). How can I make my computer usable again? [05:13] vadi: can you get the exact error message? [05:14] The message is - ERROR Verification failed: (0x1A) Security Violation [05:14] And something about start_image failed verification, no bootable medium found. [05:16] Googling that error message reveals just one other person who had it, on a Lenovo system, with Ubuntu again: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-U-and-S-Series-Notebooks/Cannot-change-boot-mode-from-UEFI-Lenovo-ideapad-U330p/td-p/4064777 [05:16] What can I do to make my system usable again? [05:17] is this a 32-bit uefi you have there? [05:17] I don't know, how can I check? [05:17] Hi, in older versions of ubuntu there's a "wifi broadband" option for the internet connection , but this is missing in 18.04, maybe duo to gnome. How do I enable it? I've search around, for a solution trying to get a huawei visible in the menu to be able to connect to it. [05:17] you would know, if so. [05:17] vadi: i sueggest you look for a bios upgrade [05:18] It also allows me to perform MOK management - enroll key or hash. I have no idea what that means. [05:18] is there a way to fix this broken dns issue on a fresh 18.04 install? [05:18] UEFI came by default on this machine, I just didn't disable it. I didn't do anything special to enable it,. [05:18] so i figured out the problem .. i think when i upgraded to the latest lubuntu it reset everything and the external drive is fat32 i think it cant save to that drive coz when i try and save it locally it works [05:18] how to fix that? [05:19] vadi: mok management is for managinge 'secureboot' certificates. 'secureboot' is a uefi functionality which is meant to ensure that only 'trusted' operating systems and drivers / modules are loaded. [05:19] huawei 4g broadband [05:19] So it thinks the kernel image isn't trusted then, hence it skips it? [05:19] vadi: some uefi firmwares enable it by default, some dont allow to disable it. [05:20] vadi: i think you'd get to see a different error message if this was the case [05:21] Why? It does say "verification failed" [05:21] So supposedly verification of something, perhaps the system Ubuntu should be booting [05:22] vadi: hmm, maybe its a uefi error message, this may be. [05:23] vadi: does grub load, though? [05:23] hold down shift during boot [05:24] No, it does not get to grub at all. [05:27] vadi: this suggests that either grub was overwritten, the secureboot certificates were modified, or there is a hardware failure [05:27] OK [05:27] (or a mix of these) [05:28] vadi: unless you have another OS installation which is bootable already installed, you'll need to boot off a live / installer iso (usb stick / cdrom) [05:29] I don't, no. What should I do with it? [05:29] I have Ubuntu 16.04 on a USB stick. === hke_ is now known as hke [05:30] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [05:31] I found a menu in F12 that says UEFI Boot: "ubuntu" "ubuntu" "UEFI: Samsung SSD" "UEFI: Generic Flash Disk" [05:32] ShouldI try any of them? and yeah, ubuntu is listed twice. It also says boot mode is set to UEFI and secure boot is on. [05:32] !fixgrub [05:32] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:33] vadi: you can try booting the 'ubuntu' ones, one by one [05:33] F12 will be your 'boot menu' for overriding the default boot device order [05:34] delete, F2 or Fn-F2 should enter the uefi configuration menu. [05:38] ОК, I will try it out. [05:46] Is the ntfs implementation still incomplete?

[06:14] I installed amdgpu-pro and now I get a low graphics warning http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DYyqhZrMVJ/ [06:14] I tried sudo apt-get install -f -y and got the above [06:15] I'm on ubuntu 16.04.3 lts [06:16] I disabled secure boot and I was able to boot Ubuntu. How can I restore boot with secure boot again? [06:17] vadi: use the shimx64.efi file [06:18] Use how? [06:18] vadi: type "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link here [06:19] http://termbin.com/mj1f [06:21] vadi: the first entry is using shimx64.efi so it should work with secure boot [06:21] if it doesnt i think you'll manually have to add it [06:22] it doesn't work, it says security verificiation failed and refuses to boot [06:25] hello, when I select two video files and open them through the Files manager, it opens two vlc instances, even though I have /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file %U in /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop. Is this a known bug in 18.04 ? (it worked in 16.04) === mous is now known as mouses [06:28] kristenbb: i dont think the .desktop file would affect the file manager [06:29] nevermind [06:42] EriC^^: is there any way I can re-sign shimx64.efi? [06:43] vadi: yeah i think there's a way to get it to work, why go through the trouble though imo? [06:43] because it doesn't work? [06:43] with secure boot on, my laptop does not boot anymore due to a security verification failure [06:44] does it work with secureboot off? [06:44] Yes [06:44] so why not disable it [06:44] Because I need the security? [06:44] if somebody has your pc secureboot isnt stopping him from getting your stuff, what's the point really? [06:45] Thanks but this is a work laptop so I'm not going to argue there's no point in security with IT [06:45] * cfhowlett thinks "They don't need to know." [06:46] They will if something happens, then it'll be on me. [06:46] alright, it was just a thought, personally i'd just turn secureboot off, it's totally up to you [06:46] Then Ubuntu won't look very good in their eyes either. [06:46] vadi, you have windows on that device? [06:46] no, no windows [06:47] ... I was going to suggest windows + virtualbox + ubuntu [06:47] I removed Windows and put it in Virtualbox instead on native Ubuntu [06:47] and now buntu doesn't work. [06:47] it did work for about a year [06:47] until this weekend. [06:47] 16.04 is still supported. [06:48] I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04 was just the USB stick. [06:49] So is there any way to re-sign shimx64.efi? [06:50] vadi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/Testing [06:51] thanks! [06:51] vadi: you would need to make keys and add them to your firmware [06:51] vadi: if your firmware has no options for doing that, then no go [06:52] vadi: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/237279/how-can-i-secure-boot-any-linux-grub-loader [06:52] this explains stuff and isn't so huge too , look at the bottom https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Secure_Boot [06:55] my guess is just that vadi removed the default trusted keys and thus also the one which the grub shim is signed by. and that just reinstalling the default key set would suffice to make the system boot again. [06:55] i doubt that this issue was only introduced by apt updates, as previously stated. [06:55] agreed [07:09] how can I reinstall that default key set? [07:27] how to permanent set nameserver for a vlan? [07:33] hello [07:33] I have some issues with my software raid1 I did years ago (and never touched) [07:35] !raid | Serdar [07:35] Serdar: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [07:35] for some reason is one partition not in the not linux_raid_member but ext4 [07:38] anyone?

[07:51] hi [07:51] i try to use a webcam with gstreamer : gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw,framerate=30/1,width=1280,height=720 ! xvimagesink [07:52] but : [07:52] https://pastebin.com/xDkBHKTe [07:52] any idea ( i can see the video using "cheese" ) ? [07:54] hardman if the video shows cheese, then this is not a hardware issue. likely your command is formatted improperly. [07:55] suggest you consider vlc [07:56] cfhowlett: do you know what is wrong with my command ? [07:56] nope, otherwise I would have happily stated so [07:57] a simple : gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! xvimagesink [07:57] doesn't work [07:57] but : gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! xvimagesink seems ok [07:57] perhaps, there's a v4l2 issue ? [08:08] Can I expect this to work with ubuntu 16.04.3? https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-prorad-lin-18-30 it says it works with 16.04.5 [08:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/899748 [08:08] Launchpad bug 899748 in gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) "gstreamer v4l2src fails with device=" [Undecided,New] [08:09] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1174492 [08:09] Launchpad bug 1174492 in gstreamer1.0 (Ubuntu) "gstreamer cannot open v4l2 video capture device" [Undecided,New] [08:09] it seems , i 'am not alone [08:14] All videos I'm playing in my browser (chromium from apt) freeze if I "stop moving" my mouse.
