[00:05] How to unlock dpkg resources?

[00:06] Wait for the auto updator to finish [00:06] It looks like something trashed the ubuntu system where it doesn't shutdown right or hibernate. [00:07] xamithan: It doesn't look like the suto updater is on [00:08] does apt show up under a ps aux ? [00:12] ;yeah a systemd daily [00:12] it looks gone now [00:13] no [00:13] └─ $ ▶ watch 'ps aux | grep apt' [00:13] Well it should work then [00:14] If not you'll have to delete the lock files [00:14] it shows without watch: root 4510 0.0 0.0 2368 580 ? Ss 19:06 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily install [00:15] Ok so it is running [00:15] sudo kill -9 4510; sudo apt update [00:16] those things hang [00:17] as if the os is only a surface session [00:17] it worked xamithan [00:17] in #weechat [00:18] Ah! Now I'm trying to set up things in a tmux session on my Raspberry Pi, and I seem to be stuck in what the docs say is bare layout -- just one big window. I can't find yet how to switch it to the standard layout [00:18] Alt+F1 takes me back to my freenode window [00:18] xamithan: doing well so far how about hibernate is there some way to make hibernate work [00:19] And this is the wrong channel... yep... this i snot #weechat. That is why this is super lame [00:19] ^ sorry [00:20] Hibernate is strange because you need a certain amount of swap and sometimes proper driver support [00:20] yeah it has a cryptswap larger than ram [00:20] would anyone know if there's a way on lubuntu to have 2 rows of tabs or to un-collapse multiple windows by default? [00:20] what is the driver support? [00:20] clicking back to pidgin or to a folder is a 2 step process and I don't like it [00:21] 2.1GB swap active [00:23] So you got encrypted swap ? [00:23] yeah confirmed 2,003.4 MB total ram and a bigger swap [00:23] Can't use hibernate with encrypted swap [00:23] xamithan: yeah cryptswap [00:23] Thats your problem [00:24] /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 [00:24] then hibernate is not a secure option if it passes out of my hands during hibernation [00:24] Hi, I just found a usb stick, made it bootable for 18.04, it boots but when I click 'Install Ubuntu' it doesn't find my current installation?? [00:24] all security is gone after a ram dump [00:25] I need to get my files back.. [00:25] once the ram is dumped everything is trashed [00:25] all security happens in the ram [00:25] Yeah hibernate is definitely not something you want to be using if you need security [00:26] ok forget it then [00:26] can somebody help me? [00:27] Try a recovery option on the liveusb [00:27] It should try to chroot mount your current partitions if they are there [00:27] xamithan: which pgp app is ubuntu using now anything which secures a ramdisk for operation? [00:28] xamithan: you talking to me? [00:28] Yeah help_ubuntu [00:28] if the key is lost the ramdisk can be a secure environment while running until reboot [00:28] xamithan: I should pick 'try ubuntu without installing' or just 'install ubuntu' at grub menu [00:28] I picked the first one at first [00:30] ok I clicked install ubuntu now.. [00:30] Thats the only two options you got ? [00:30] It should have "Recover a broken system" [00:30] no also OEM [00:32] xamithan: do you use pgp [00:32] Only on my desktop, which doesn't have ubuntu [00:32] Don't really care about stuff on my laptop [00:32] xamithan: 'check disks for defects' also [00:32] should I pick that? [00:33] No, it sounds like you downloaded the wrong image that doesn't have the recovery on it [00:35] xamithan: just picked the latest LTS version [00:35] 18.04.1 [00:37] xamithan: is there a better visualization interface for wireshark [00:38] xamithan what are you using on the desktop [00:44] should I do this? https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-boot-repair [00:55] nacc: Just fyi, the issue i was having was related to a $HOME/.themes directory. I removed it, and bam, all the windows are fine now. I just took a guess at the removal, i didn't find anything googling. I don't remember why i needed this themes dir. The history is that i just started working again on a project that i "suspended" a year ago. [00:58] i cant get steam to work [00:58] xamithan: some interface for wireshark which shows continuity of packets [00:59] instead of breaking them up into a line by line feed [00:59] anyone know how to get steam to work? [01:00] No idea on wireshark, I don't generally use GUI programs. Just thinks like Tcpdump [01:01] if this were piped into something like xmatrix it'd be great [01:02] something which can be made to zoom in and out change focus etc [01:02] ;so if there are three lines going of packets it shows the three on screen like a pipe [01:02] and clicking on the pipe zooms into only that line [01:02] that makes it a useful productive tool [01:03] there was etherape [01:03] which had a visualization worth using [01:06] leosemilie: so use etherape then? [01:07] it doesnt show packets does it? [01:08] etherape needs to meet wireshark and use something like GLmatrix [01:09] IDK, I don't use etherape. Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying [01:09] that is the status quo isn't it [01:10] misunderstanding what you're saying? I mean maybe. Do people often have trouble understanding you?

[10:40] anyone know if the image control settings like exposure available in webcam viewers like guvcview are hardware or software exposure? [10:41] same here about crontab [10:41] cristian_c, do you suggest any read concern this to understand what does happen? [10:42] cristian_c, btw in other terminal i ran: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and is still running ... can i just close it or is there safer way to kill the process? [10:54] pokmo: can apt-cache search v4l2 help? [10:55] lotus|NUC but that won't tell me if the settings are hardware or software, right? [10:56] pokmo: those are tools you can install to adjust webcam settings [10:56] lotus|NUC yes, i'm just using guvcview right now which offers a range of settings, e.g., exposure, gain, saturation, brightness, contrast, etc. [10:57] but i wonder if these are software manipulations or hardware settings [10:57] by software manipulations, i mean those offered in photoshop [10:58] pokmo, guvcview can only adjust hardware settings [10:58] jcdutton i see. does it use v4l? [10:59] but guvcview offers a 'sharpness' setting too [10:59] pokmo, it uses the uvc protocol. This is a standard for video over USB [10:59] what's hardware 'sharpness' though? [11:00] pokmo, the webcam itself is exposing the control. How the webcam implements it may be hardware or software. [11:00] i see [11:02] pokmo, sharpness is normally a parameter fed into the format conversion function. I.e. if you take a photo and you get jpeg output. The conversion from hardware to jpeg format will be different depending on the sharpness setting. [11:04] pokmo, when going from hardware video capture to the video stream format, there is an algorithm. It has common controls such as resolution, but also others such as compression ration etc. [11:04] ratio [11:05] jcdutton is compression ratio usually exposed? [11:05] pokmo, it is normally instead exposed as select average bitrate. [11:07] pokmo, so selecting a 12mbps stream will compress less than selecting a 128kbps stream. [11:07] jcdutton hmm maybe my webcam is too cheap :\ [11:07] jcdutton could it be frame rate? [11:07] a low frame rate on my webcam seems to give less noise [11:09] pokmo, low frame gives less noise because the hardware can average the measurement over a longer period. Low frame rate can also cause more blurring when there is movement in the frame [11:11] jcdutton right. does that mean a lower fps gives higher exposure? thus, lower noise? [11:20] jcdutton all good now. thanks!

[11:50] another thing : my setup is upgraded from 16.04, there I used to have debug in ~/.xsession-errors but now it's empty [11:50] hi cristian_c [11:50] playback is fine in every player I use [11:50] s/every/any/ [11:51] I don't know why syslog is so spammed by these messages, but it doesn't affect your experience, I think [11:52] ah, ok, ypu've to check logfiles for other issues, so you would like a cleaner one [11:52] indeed, the only thing that bothers me is that this write over an SSD disk [11:52] ypu're right [11:53] what video player do you use? [11:53] mplayer and vlc [11:53] you can change debuglevel in vlc [11:54] audio players = vlc, clementine [11:54] and mixxx [11:54] so, are messages not coming from video players itself? [11:54] Themself [11:54] video and audio players [11:56] and I'd like to understand why ~/.xsession-errors does not receive anything since I've upgraded to 18.04.1 [11:57] but these are two differents problems [12:01] I installed these from their ppa's : mixxx, clementine from the main repo : vlc, mplayer [12:02] my guess is that this could be an X issue rather than rsyslog [12:06] GuiLux, good question; i think it's not used anymore (despite grep ERRFILE /etc/X11/Xsession) and journald is used instead ... but i ' am still searching [12:09] Hiyas all [12:11] thx ioria you inspired me another set of checks [12:12] GuiLux, ok [12:14] GuiLux, du -sh /var/log/journal/ will tell the folder size (is huge, you might have a problem)ù [12:14] [12:14] hi peoples [12:14] hope you are all good [12:15] maybe someone could help? my ubuntu, fresh installed with mate and compiz, using the xorg driver, not nvidia, suddenly doesn't recognise my monitor and start with minimal resolution [12:16] and i can't edit the xorg.conf anymore right...i'm new again with ubuntu...using it again since some years :) [12:17] GuiLux, https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2016-May/msg00015.html [12:17] recognize [12:20] Evereytime i am getting an error /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER atm0sphere1 xbhzkzvmyagk [12:20] sorry, i'm a bit slow, having lunch :) [12:21] You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

[14:10] hi [14:12] hi [14:14] I've got rtl8188etv wifi card (using r8188eu driver). I've made several tests but when I try it on an amd ryzen machine using 18.04, system freezes/crashes [14:15] I've tried also on different machines/OSes and it never makes system freezing/crashing (intel platforms) [14:15] I've tried also an old kubuntu 17.04 with kernel 4.11 on ryzen machine and it doesn't crashes when I try to use that wifi card, but if I inatall the recent kerbel, it doesn't appear in grub [14:17] cristian_c: how are you installing a recent kernel in 17.04? 17.04 is EOL and isn't supported any more, there are no kernels built for it. If you are looking to downgrade, go to 16.04 in install !hwe [14:17] so, I've tried to re-install 18.04 in ryzen. The machine doesn't freezes using that wifi card in live mode (dvd), with kerbel 4.15.0, [14:17] but if, after installed, I upgrade to a recebt kerbel, system freezes when trying to make connection [14:17] pragmaticenigma: ubuntu kernel mainline [14:18] !kernel [14:18] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [14:18] cristian_c: 17.04 is end of like... there are no kernels being built for it. even mainline. You have to use a supported version of Ubuntu [14:18] pragmaticenigma: there is a kernel deb store (updated) [14:19] cristian_c: 3rd party ppa's and software are not supported, especially the kernels [14:19] Hello, I have 3 hard drives in my ubuntu server 18.04. I have two volume groups. One of the volume groups I want to delete, but when I run vgreduce, I get Physical volume "/dev/sdb" still in use. How do I stop it or unmount it so that I can move it to my ubuntu-vg? [14:19] pragmaticenigma: I've tested 17.04 in order to test the wifi card [14:19] as told at fist [14:19] *first [14:19] cristian_c: It's not a good test case [14:19] I've downloaded kernel debs, of cpurse [14:19] *of course [14:20] pragmaticenigma: as told before, I tested several machines/releases [14:20] and different kernels, too [14:20] cristian_c, you mean that it freezes only on a 4.15.0-34 kernel ? [14:20] in order to underatand why wifi card make syatem crashing in 18.04 on ryzen [14:21] ioria: no, I've noticed it freezes juat on ryzen with 4.19 but also 4.18.8 (stable) [14:21] if I try 4.15.0-20 in 18.04 live mode, it doesn't freezes the system [14:22] cristian_c: here's what I'm going to suggest, as I think you've been here for the past week about this problem, If the wifi card doesn't want to work, then you should consider finding a supported card that does work without issue. there are plenty out there and they don't cost a lot of money. [14:22] but system freezes at boot time, before 4.19 kernels [14:22] just, after grub [14:22] 4.19 solves the boot process, in older kernels nomodeset is needed [14:23] cristian_c: if you haven't solved it with this channels help by now, you've had a very good chance of exhausting every resource here that would have any ideas for you [14:23] cristian_c: whats the issue with using 4.19 if that works for you? [14:23] pragmaticenigma: I don't know why but system doesn't freeze on 16.04 and 18.04 on intel machine [14:24] leftyfb: 4.19 solves the crash at boot issue, but if I connect the wifi card and make a connection, system hangs [14:24] that didn't happen on older kernels [14:25] cristian_c: file a bug [14:25] except 4.18.8 for what system freezes in a similar manner [14:25] !details | robb, how are the drive configured in the current volume group? [14:25] robb, how are the drive configured in the current volume group?: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [14:25] leftyfb: ok, but bug against what package [14:26] ioria, yes, I am back [14:26] cristian_c: maybe just ubuntu in general to start. Maybe the latest 4.15 kernel [14:26] I don't know if there is an issue with kernel, network manager, wpa_supplicant, or toher packages [14:26] atm0sphere1, ok... uname -r ? [14:26] cristian_c: I'd start with the kernel [14:26] cristian_c: the rest won't cause the system to freeze [14:26] ok [14:27] ioria, 4.15.0-34-generic [14:27] ioria, is that latest? [14:28] leftyfb: do you mean about desktop freeze, btw? [14:28] atm0sphere1, yep, it's ok dpkg -l | grep microcode | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:28] leftyfb: I mean filing a bug about desktop freeze? [14:29] pragmaticenigma: how can I check? I am using LVM2 [14:29] ioria, http://termbin.com/ppji [14:29] cristian_c: I mean, file a big against the kernel since that would more likely be the problem causing the crashing. A lack of or incorrect driver module or something [14:29] atm0sphere1, ok... if you run sudo apt-full upgrade do you still get 'autoremove' message ? [14:30] leftyfb: ok, but deskrop doesn't crashes using 4.15 [14:30] cristian_c: but the driver for the wireless is built in [14:30] (os crashes during boot, issue fixed since 4.19) [14:30] cristian_c: if the problem is with another package, one of the developers will move your bug to the appropriare package if necessary [14:31] ioria, yes [14:31] leftyfb: yeah, but you're talking about wifi card related crash, that doesn't happen in 4.15 [14:31] ioria, should i run autoremove cmd ? [14:32] cristian_c: ok, then don't do anything. That'll certainly get things resolved for you. [14:32] and 4.19 is not official yet [14:32] lol [14:32] leftyfb: I don't underatand [14:32] atm0sphere1, wait .... sudo apt install --reinstall intel-microcode [14:32] cristian_c: file a bug against the 4.15 kernel. Go [14:33] leftyfb: ok, when I file the bug against 4.15, what have I to put in the description? [14:33] robb: didn't you set them up? how do you not know your disk layout? [14:33] !bug | cristian_c [14:33] cristian_c: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [14:34] leftyfb: I mean abput the issue, not related abput how tp do that, btw [14:34] ioria, did, but again after doing full upgrade same notification [14:34] cristian_c: put everything you've tried and know [14:34] atm0sphere1, sudo apt install linux-generic [14:35] pragmaticenigma: honestly I just ran the installer and hit next untill it worked.... the volume Im having trouble with was set up on a previous version of ubuntu on this server that I set up 2 years ago when it was 16 [14:35] cristian_c: make your best attempt, and everything you told us here... when someone responds they will tell you additional information they need. [14:36] ioria, here theres an error [14:36] atm0sphere1, please, paste it [14:36] pragmaticenigma: the issue is: leftyfb suggests me to file a bug against 4.15, but that bug doesn't happen in 4.15 [14:36] ioria, https://imgur.com/a/HbiBhTC [14:36] pragmaticenigma: so, I wonder if this way is lgit in launchpad [14:36] *legit [14:36] cristian_c: oh, just go and file the report... if it isn't someone will tell you that too [14:37] (if I file a bug for a version different than the one triggers the bug) [14:38] ok, I'll do so (I'm a bit shocked btw) [14:38] atm0sphere1, do you really get those artifacts or is a pasting issue ? [14:38] no I am getting those ioria [14:38] ioria, i am pasting by taking screenshot [14:39] these 4 desktops lubuntu comes with seem potentially very useful, but sort of throw you for a loop when you start using the OS and have no idea they're there until you accidentally switch between them [14:39] yep, never seen , looks like a corruption [14:39] like moving a window around, drag one too far to the side of the screen, suddenly can't view 2 windows together anymore [14:40] Hey, I can't open my encrypted home folder on a live usb..

It appears you have litterally exhausted nearly everyone's knowledge on the topic. There is nothing to be shocked about, Bugs happen, and the only way to get them addressed is to file a bug report. Clearly something has [14:41] been fixed if the latest unreleased kernel fixes the problem, it's just a matter of time when it will be ported into the older kernels. To help speed that process along, those teams need the bug report.

[15:30] gpunk: It doesn't find any wireless devices [15:30] It's weird because the kernel is finding the device and loading the drivers [15:31] This doesn't seem promising...

[15:39] what do you men by 86fb ? [15:40] That's the device it reports. From what I've read I think I'll have to get a Windows install on the server, as I know it works under Win10. Only really use it as a file server, so doesn't really matter. [15:41] what report ? where do you read it ? ... it is up to you [15:41] gpunk: The report I posted on pastebin from lspci -v [15:42] It has 2 device IDs - 43c3 and also 86fb [15:43] * ablil98 [15:43] hello world [15:43] Are there any flat wireless mouses which are always supported?

[16:44] you can install ubuntu on a hdd/ssd without destroying your windows [16:44] Any folks here running 16.04 in VBox on Win10 who would know if a shared folder permissions ON WINDOWS should be read only ? === Budgii_ is now known as Budgii [16:49] FortKnight, this is normal ? http://termbin.com/dbix === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [16:58] atm0sphere1, are you ok ?

[18:36] nope [18:37] No bios option? [18:37] maybe in the bios [18:37] starfyter, but as it looks, the external wifi adapter is disabled [18:38] https://dpaste.de/m8ZF/raw [18:38] ^ that's the output of "sudo lshw -C network" [18:38] "RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter" is the internal wifi adapter (as far as I know) [18:40] Could pull the external and see what it reports. [18:40] ok - but maybe I am gone then [18:41] I try to pull it now [18:41] I just ripped my external wifi adapter apart [18:41] not kidding you [18:41] it just broke while unplugging it [18:42] WOW. [18:42] But you're still here. :) [18:42] yeah - I am using the internal one, obviously [18:42] well, the question is now officially obsolete [18:42] now I only have _1_ adapter (the internal one) [18:42] thank you!

I'm planning to use Clonezilla/partclone to copy my Ubuntu install over. Would I have to modify the fstab manually to suit the new disk? [19:28] Beren: if it's a bit-for-bit clone, no, since all references will be identical. However, you may want to change the clones hostname, and any static/manual network configuration [19:30] Beren: one gotcha would be if the two disks have different logical sector sizes, since then the logical offsets would be wrong [19:31] TJ-: I'm doing partition-level clone. Would UUIDs of the source and target be different? [19:35] Beren: I'm not familiar with how clonezilla does its work. UUIDs generally belong to the file-systems, not the partitions (although GPT uses unique GUIDs per partition) [19:40] Beren, you should be ok... in the worst scenario you boot the live cd, mount root , run blkid and edit fstab [19:47] Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with Ubuntu 18.04 using GNOME DE on Xorg.

[20:37] gorginator: to reinstall ubuntu without lossing your windows installation choose the last option SOMETHING ELSE [20:37] nullbyte_: where did you get those files? [20:38] nisankhindia_: ok, and what should I choose then? [20:38] nullbyte_: I take that back, looks like nvidia.com does supply .debs now. That's fairly new. [20:39] gorginator: go ahead carefully with looking at file system , mount points and your /home .. [20:39] I upgraded fom 16.04 to 18.04 and now my server is going to sleep. :( :( [20:40] mustmodify: servers do not "go to sleep" [20:40] You'd think [20:40] mustmodify: there is no suspend option in ubuntu server [20:40] but I'm ssh'd in, I leave it alone for 20 or 30 minutes, and the machine is off. [20:40] this happened twice. [20:40] it's OFF. No lights. Ethernet light is off. Fan is off. [20:40] Computer is down. [20:41] mustmodify: ok, maybe overheating? Maybe some script you have is doing something wrong? === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [20:42] Your proposal is that a server that worked for more than 2 years, got upgraded, and the same day starts spontaneously going to sleep (and also has a new UI installed) is doing so because of something that was there before? [20:42] nisankhindia_: sorry, not sure what I should do, mount points aren't filled in https://imgur.com/a/gxc3BAi [20:43] mustmodify: UI? Ubuntu server does not install a UI by default. Why did you install a desktop environment on a server? [20:43] nvme0n1 is the ssd, sda the other one [20:43] leftyfb: Again, I didn't. [20:43] I typed do-upgrade-whatever [20:43] and it's there. But it wasn't before. [20:43] gorginator: follow any tutorial available online for overwritting previous linux distro installation .. [20:43] Found the setting. Disabled it. Will uninstall UI this evening. [20:44] mustmodify: Again, Ubuntu server does not install any sort of UI. It is completely console based. If you see a UI, then you installed it during or after installation. [20:45] OK, well maybe my 9 year old did it. [20:45] mustmodify: unity ? pastebin ' ls /usr/share/xsessions ' . [20:45] or when I typed do-release-upgrade I also typed whatever you'd have to type to convert a server into a not-server. [20:45] gorginator:windows for Ntfs file systems , your ubuntu installed file system ext3 etc etc , look carefully in your partitions , take care of them and go ahead , if you want to have your data videos musics files than take a backup from /home [20:46] hi, are there instructions to update a 16.04.5 without Xorg to 18?

At the moment I'm running ubuntu via a bootable usb on "try ubuntu" mode [22:08] each time I run [sudo grub-install /dev/sda] I get [grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.] [22:09] mark721, I think you will have to chroot in the ubuntu partition on disk to do that [22:09] marcodiego: like this https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/96981 [22:10] mark721, step 3 is wrong [22:11] marcodiego: wwhat should it be? [22:11] mark721, just a sec, I'll find the right command for you [22:11] marcodiego: ok also one more thing in step 2 this should be the partition that has Ubuntu on right [22:11] marcodiego: not windowws [22:13] mark721: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [22:14] mark721, leftyfb are correct, just use that. That should do it [22:14] leftyfb: ty just to confirm its the partition that UBUNTU is on right? [22:14] mark721: negative [22:14] mark721: wait, yes. sorry [22:15] mark721: to chroot, yes. To reinstall grub, no. Grub gets installed to the drive, not a parition [22:15] leftyfb: i wwas talking about the mounting [22:15] leftyfb: so its ubuntu yeah [22:15] mark721: lsblk -f -e 7 [22:15] use that to help you determine which partition to use [22:17] leftyfb: wwhat is ctrl+alt+f1 supposed to do because its not doing anything for me [22:18] mark721: just open a terminal [22:19] mark721: TTY1 is where the GUI runs in 18.04 .. try as F2 .

[22:23] marcodiego: i dont think 18,04 has 32 bit and 64 bit? [22:23] mark721: did you bind mount those locations per the instructions? [22:23] marcodiego: only 64 [22:23] leftyfb: the first command i did was sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt [22:23] mark721, what is the output of ls /mnt [22:23] mark721: it looks like it's already mounted there [22:24] bin etc lib mnt run sys vmlinuz boot home lib64 opt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old cdrom initrd.img lost+found proc snap usr dev initrd.img.old media root srv var [22:24] !paste | mark721 [22:24] mark721: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[22:25] mark721: when you get to "sudo chroot /mnt", after that just try to reinstall grub to /dev/sda [22:25] marcodiego: it's already mounted [22:26] mark721: you tried "sudo chroot /mnt/" ? [22:26] leftyfb, I'm thinking about the other dirs "/dev, /proc..." [22:26] marcodiego: that's what the bind mounts are for [22:27] Guys please see this https://pastebin.com/fr8rxvwP [22:27] leftyfb, typing mount would make us sure they are mounted [22:27] mark721: sudo dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:27] marcodiego: this is the output of mount https://pastebin.com/rbEcZAiE [22:28] mark721: it doesn't look like you ran the bind mount commands [22:29] mark721, I don't see the bind mounts there [22:29] mark721: for i in `dev proc sys` ; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done [22:29] mark721, are you sure you did the bind mounts? [22:30] mark721_: sudo dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:30] leftyfb: that just made me sign out of ubuntu and sign in again? [22:30] it shouldn't have [22:30] leftyfb: like literally it brought me to the sign in and select a user [22:31] mark721, it looks like you didn't do the bind mounts. Can you confirm you did the bind mounts? [22:31] mark721_: I get what you said before [22:31] marcodiego: not having those bind mounts won't give the I/O error [22:31] marcodiego: there's other, more pressing issues at play [22:31] leftyfb: http://termbin.com/y2ait [22:31] marcodiego: [22:31] marcodiego: https://pastebin.com/rbEcZAiE this is ur mount thingy [22:32] mark721_: I would reboot back into the live session. It's possible you've got something weird going on with mounting. Or a possible bad drive [22:32] mark721_, http://termbin.com/y2ait is bad news... it looks like you have badblocks [22:32] or bad memory [22:32] leftyfb: ok i will reboot [22:32] marcodiego: it's not definite. [22:32] leftyfb: its a bad deay :( [22:33] brb [22:33] marcodiego: it's complaining about loop0, which isn't necessarily the physical drive, but might be one of the live session partitions. [22:33] IN which case, it could be bad memory since that's the "drive" the live session lives on [22:33] Well, installting another server here, first time I've looked at the Linux desktop in years - it's still a horrible mess :) [22:34] Smashcat: ok, feel free to go back to Windows [22:35] OSX mainly, but yeah. One day the Linux guys might finally make a decision whether to use CTRL+C or SHIFT+CTRL+C - it's only been over 20 years - hahaha! [22:35] Smashcat: ok, goodbye [22:37] CTRL+C has been sending SIGINT since forever on all terminals I've ever tested. Seems quite consistent to me. To copying and pasting CTRL+INSERT and SHIFT+INSERT works fine even on windows [22:43] Well that's a minor one - which is solved in other OS'. Also not being able to drag a window between 2 displays on separate GPUs is pretty special :) [22:45] Smashcat: This is a support channel. Not for ranting [22:45] + no high DPI scaling. It doesn't seem to have changed at all in 5 years. I use it on servers all the time, but just surprised that the desktop is still pretty clunky. [22:45] Smashcat: Also, nobody that knows the first thing about running a proper server runs a desktop GUI on it. [22:46] It'll be switched off once I'm done. I only installed it to have a look and see what's changed: nothing [22:46] Smashcat: Please take your rants elsewhere. [22:47] They're observations, I'm not mad at all. [22:47] Smashcat: take your "observations" elsewhere. This is a support channel. [22:47] hi guys im back [22:47] leftyfb: could you resend the link [22:47] You own it? [22:48] mark721_: sudo dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:48] Smashcat: what is meant is this is a support-only channel. You did not have any support issue, just observations -- which are not for this channel [22:48] Smashcat, I understand your observations. What you're gonna do about them? [22:49] marcodiego: Uninstall the Xserver I guess. [22:49] Smashcat: If you're worried about ownership, please see the IRC Guidelines in the channel topic, which include this sort of thing. [22:49] leftyfb: wait lefty [22:49] leftyfb: chroot is working now! [22:49] leftyfb: only one thing [22:49] leftyfb: after chroot it keeps saying grub not found? [22:50] mark721: I would recommend checking dmesg for possible I/O errors before doing anything else [22:50] mark721: outside of the chroot [22:50] Smashcat, great. I don't think this is a proper solution. I'd suggest you to donate or help projects that could fix them more definitely. Think about that. That will help more than making "observations" here [22:50] leftyfb: http://termbin.com/fafi [22:51] mark721: ok, look good. Did you run the bind mounts? [22:51] marcodiego: I do help with OS projects, mostly for server-side applications. Just haven't looked at the desktop in a long time. [22:51] leftyfb: all i did so far was sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [22:51] leftyfb: woops sda8 i mean [22:51] mark721: for i in `dev proc sys` ; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done [22:51] Smashcat, maybe they need help, donations or support [22:52] Yep ok, anyway, time to get this uninstalled and finish up. Cheers. [22:52] marcodiego: please stay on topic [22:52] leftyfb: it says dev not found [22:52] *command dev not found [22:53] leftyfb: do I need to do those for loops coz i didnt see it on the site? [22:53] mark721: my bad: for i in dev proc sys ; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done [22:53] leftyfb: do i need it tho ? im confused what it does and why its not on the site? [22:54] -- trying to understand what im doing this time coz thats the reason i had to reinstall wwin10 LOL [22:54] mark721: that makes 3 commands into 1 [22:54] leftyfb: wwhat I mean is none of those commands are on here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [22:54] mark721: as opposed to: sudo mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc [22:55] mark721: for i in dev proc sys ; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done <~~~ this willl do the same thing [22:55] leftyfb: i was following the recover grub instructions [22:55] leftyfb: ? [22:56] mark721: do you want help or do you want to just keep debating everything I suggest? [22:56] leftyfb: was I supposed to follow the update failure ones? [22:56] leftyfb: no i just want to understand :( im sorry. [22:56] mark721: You bind mount so you have a proper chroot environment. Otherwise, within the chroot you won't have the ability to reinstall grub to your drive [22:56] leftyfb: ok what's next [22:56] I did for i in dev proc sys ; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done [22:57] mark721: type mount and make sure those 3 are mounted in /mnt [22:57] toward the end [22:57] leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/71fC46wz [22:58] good [22:58] sudo chroot /mnt/ [22:58] sudo grub-install /dev/sda [22:58] leftyfb: grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory. [22:59] mark721: ok, you failed to mention this was an EFI install [22:59] leftyfb: idek what efi is :( [22:59] leftyfb: sorry. [23:00] mark721: pastebin the output of lsblk -f -e 7 [23:01] oh wait [23:01] type exit [23:01] then pastebin the output of lsblk -f -e 7 [23:01] leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/ELatF351 [23:01] where's the manpage for overlayfs? e.g. which man keyword? (I tried {,mount.}overlay{,fs}) [23:02] mark721: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi [23:02] leftyfb: should it be sda8? [23:02] mark721: negative [23:03] leftyfb: ok next? [23:03] mark721: your root filesystem (sda8) is already mounted to /mnt. We just mounted your EFI partition into the chroot environment [23:03] mark721: sudo chroot /mnt/ [23:03] mark721: then: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [23:04] mark721: if that works, then run : sudo update-grub [23:05] leftyfb: okay so its all done no errors incl the update I assume just disable fast boot and im good to go (fingers crossed) [23:06] mark721: type exit # then reboot [23:06] mark721: without the live cd/usb [23:06] leftyfb: will it work if fast boot is still on [23:06] ? [23:06] mark721: just keep your pc in the same state you had it before when it was running [23:07] ok ty [23:07] will be back to tell you if all is good ty :) [23:12] hi [23:13] I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a ryzen 5 2400G computer, but it keeps crashing occasionally, I'm not sure if it's a kernel panic, but when this happens the video/monitor doesn't turn on anymore, is there a way to upgrade the kernel to the latest version? [23:13] I run Arch on the side and it doesn't happen on Arch, so I'm guessing it's a kernel issue [23:15] if possible, I would like to upgrade mesa/the kernel to the latest versions [23:21] !mainline | dviola [23:21] dviola: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [23:22] dviola: those are reaally only intended for testing, though [23:26] thanks [23:27] and what about for upgrading to teh latest for production use? [23:28] maybe I should wait for 18.10 [23:29] dviola: no, there will be a later kernel some time after 18.10 is released, but that's a while off yet [23:29] (about three months after release, i think) [23:29] dviola: there are ppas with newer mesa releases, i suggest you search launchpad [23:29] what would you recommend as for now? [23:30] dviola: the best option is probably mainline [23:32] dviola, do you have 2 PCs ? [23:32] yes [23:33] dviola, if so, you can set up netconsole and get the kernel messages sent to the other PC when the first crashes [23:33] ah, yes [23:33] it might give you a clue as to what went wrong. [23:33] it's very hard to reproduce though [23:34] well, if it is a kernel panic, at least then you will see the panic messages. [23:34] but yes, that's a good idea [23:34] right [23:34] thanks [23:36] dviola, I had a similar problem once, and found out my cpu fan was intermittently failing. Fan stop moving -> cpu shut itself down. Netconsole told me why. [23:36] nice, yes [23:37] it's a very useful module, I've used it in the past as well to track down issues [23:37] dviola, which kernel are you currently using? [23:38] on ubuntu, the stock 4.15.0-34-generic one [23:38] on arch 4.18.9-arch1-1-ARCH [23:38] the problem one is ? [23:39] 4.15 [23:39] dviola, to test, you can just copy the arch one onto the ubuntu pc. It should work. [23:39] when I booted the ubuntu 18.04.1 live USB the graphics were corrupted, so installing ubuntu was a pain... it went away after I rebooted to the new installation, it seems like one of the updates fixed it [23:39] but it still has issues with stability... [23:40] dviola, make sure you copy all of /lib/modules/...18.9... as well. [23:40] hrm [23:40] arch one. i.e. the kernel on the arch pc [23:41] both installs are on the same computer [23:41] but yes, I guess I can do that [23:41] dviola, you can use the arch kernel and still run ubuntu [23:41] or I can compile a new kernel using the /proc/config.gz config [23:42] right [23:42] dviola, that will also work. [23:43] right, I think I will do that, thanks [23:46] Hey guys, I need some help. I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a ASUS laptop with Intel process and Intel HD graphics. Whenever I watch videos it, the video will periodically chop, as in freeze for up to several seconds at a time. [23:46] processor* [23:48] Any ideas on how to fix that? [23:50] miceiken, i had some similar problems a while ago. my problem was an erroneous hdmi cable [23:51] while researching i also stumbled upon a thread where some people did had such problems because they set the wrong refresh rate for their monitor [23:51] this is on the laptop display though [23:51] oh [23:51] well.. no clue [23:51] maybe open htop and check computer resource usage [23:51] probably cpu or ram is on its limits [23:52] worked fine on Windows. might be the browser, ill try firefox [23:52] look at dmesg output for errors [23:52] bandwith issue or driver used [23:52] yeah.. changing browsers wont fix it i bet [23:56] miceiken: Nvidia graphics card also in this laptop ? Updated driver: http://albertomilone.com/blog/?p=670 for testing. [23:58] apparently it was chromium, firefox seems fine [23:59] miceiken: You can try turning on or off the hardware acceleration in Chromium options.
