[00:05] Can anyone recommend a console markdown viewer that transforms links into something more like a hyperlink instead of just a regular markdown link [00:24] Hey, I need some help! I hadn't used Ubuntu in a while (Ubuntu 18, forget when I last updated it) so the updater had some things to update. After letting it restart it seems to have gotten stuck and it's been like going like this for a while: https://i.imgur.com/7RS3yoI.jpg I've seen some solutions, but I specially want to know exactly the best way to stop it right now in case doing something like a hard shutdown could be a terrib [00:28] I have a problem here. Ubuntu uses my broadband data in the background. I saw this on the System Monitor. What should I do? [00:29] elham: and what's the issue? metered bandwidth? [00:29] yep. [00:30] I tried to check on the settings but I can't find it... [00:30] elham: all versions of Ubuntu will use some to check for updates... it's a few hundred kilobytes at least to do this. [00:30] anyone else having issues controlling volume through laptop hotkeys in 18.04? [00:30] elham: there's multiple things it will do automatically. [00:30] brightmess [00:30] brightness, not volume [00:31] illuminaughtyy: does anything control it? [00:31] nothing i've tried yet [00:31] elham: do you know anything more specific about what it's doing? [00:31] there's no x11/xconf [00:31] illuminaughtyy: Intel or AMD? [00:31] i can't find xserver in nividia [00:31] intel [00:31] ... So it's dual GPU? [00:32] quad i think [00:32] I just mean, two GPUs. [00:32] the Intel and Nvidia? [00:32] it's a laptop [00:32] not sure [00:32] to be honest [00:32] Well, most don't carry a dedicated GPU, but some do. [00:32] i assume one, but it might be one of those gpu's that is kind of a vgu in itself [00:32] assume not, not one [00:32] discrete or w/e. [00:32] it's a gaming laptop [00:33] OH, then it does. [00:33] so it has a dedicated gpu [00:33] 965M [00:33] It's an Asus G753 [00:33] g752 [00:33] got almost all the other bugs out except for this [00:34] illuminaughtyy: well, one thing to try is BIOS updates if available. those are a good idea whenever you have issues. [00:34] Umm.... no. It's okay.. At least it is better to know why it uses my bandwith... Thanks :D [00:34] illuminaughtyy: if not, you can poke around in /sys/class/backlight to see if the kernel [00:34] pretty sure I'm on the latest, I can check though [00:34] illuminaughtyy: supports any backlight controls. [00:34] illuminaughtyy: you can get the BIOS version from dmidecode. [00:35] I see two folders [00:35] acpi 0 and 1 [00:35] strange. [00:35] you can play around with it to see if you can change brightness through it. [00:35] i added a command to grub that involved acpi 0 trying to fix it [00:35] maybe it's something to do with that and needs set to 1 instead [00:36] illuminaughtyy: good luck... you can test the backlight controls by writing to a special brightness file. [00:37] i'd have no idea how [00:37] i found this one program [00:37] as root, writing to a file like /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness [00:37] it's not hard. [00:37] https://haikarainen.github.io/light/ [00:37] like echo 255 > /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_bl0/brightness [00:37] it's not an amd gpu [00:37] I know, but the same method is applicable. [00:38] elham: you can probably configure it. if you really need to control bandwidth used for updates and you have multiple Ubuntu installs, you can always setup a LAN mirror. [00:39] there's acpi_video1 and acpi_video0 [00:39] no actual gpu specific [00:39] illuminaughtyy: ah. that's normal. [00:39] i'd play around with their brightness values to see if you can get something to happen. [00:39] to start with. [00:40] first, check the max brightness. [00:40] cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness [00:40] then write a new value to the brightness file. [00:40] echo ... > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [00:41] illuminaughtyy: i had an issue a few months ago where brightness only worked through /sys but a BIOS update fixed the keys. [00:42] I will check into that [00:42] illuminaughtyy: if playing around with either of them produces a change in the backlight, then you know the kernel can control it. [00:42] then you just need to figure out what's up with the brightness keys. [00:46] so, I'm following the tutorial https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-windows-ubuntu-hyperv-containers and i'm on step six, when I start docker from admin CMD it just stays at DEBU[2018-09-28T16:50:42.539288400-07:00] Config reload - waiting signal at Global\docker-daemon-config-9228 and doesn't output anything else - does that mean it's running properly?

[01:07] i do anything i just install ubuntu , update , install steam and csgo and start to play -_- [01:10] You can try using other desktop environment... Like XFCE or LXDE, Ourmine. I heard that GNOME desktop is heavy resourced.

[01:19] Hey all, I'm having an issue with installing ubuntu server, I've gotten to the point where I need to enable nomodeset to get past the graphics not working, but now I've run into Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. [01:19] Tried to identify myself dosen't seem to have worked I'll rejoin [01:19] Ourmine, what if you try to check the settings on CSGO. Try to lower the resolution or change the texture quality. [01:20] Hopefully this worked! :) [01:21] Hey all, I'm having an issue with installing ubuntu server, I've gotten to the point where I need to enable nomodeset to get past the graphics not working, but now I've run into Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.

First we are upgrading to 16.04 and it seems not to be working ... [01:37] I've been keeping an eye on running processes with webmin... the upgrade process is still running... but... it doesn't look like it's making any progress... [01:37] the terminal is connected but still sitting there on "preconfiguring packages" for way, way, WAY too long... [01:38] ... it seems to have gotten stuck on the keyboard configuration task. [01:38] in fact, it looks like it's executing a grep command, as if scanning a directory or file for different keyboard type configurations. [01:39] Vic2 relax... be patient. It will finish upgrading soon.... I hope... [01:40] Heh like how long? other machine was 15-20 mins ... so far this one is almost an hour? that normal?

I mean amiga keyboard sounds.... old? lol [01:49] Uhmm, no keyboard ... this is a server install - headless. [01:50] not sure why it is even doing anything with a keyboard tbh elham. [01:53] God... I think it's confused. [01:54] so elham, how best to unconfuse it? :p [01:55] well plug in an amiga keyboard? [01:56] hahaha, sure show up at a 9-5 data center at 4 in the morning ... not gonna work. :( [01:58] Hi [02:00] so elham ... what is the recommended method to abort this process? [02:01] God not sure anymore, Vic2. [02:02] Is there some signal we can send via command line? [02:02] CTRL + C ? [02:02] Wait... shoot no keyboard right? [02:02] If you want to take risk. I suggest you shut down the computer [02:05] no keyboard, in theory. [02:05] Have some coffee, and get some rest for a while, Vic2. I'm sure you're tired. [02:05] reboot the computer?

Is the problem sloved yet? [03:28] ghostboarder: not to be rude, but was supported on a non LTS ubuntu version that is no longer supported (17.10), you can try to find a 17.10 iso and run an unsupported ubuntu version for the sake of having this software, however you may hear echoes of "it's no longer supported" when or if you reach out for help [03:29] yeah i saw that....shame on me i suppose for assuming they would CONTINUE support. How much sense does THAT make, eh? [03:30] They have had a great product (at least for Windows) for years, wonder why they would only support non LTS 17.10 and then stop? [03:31] ghostboarder: the article was published August 27th 2018, so it seems they really had no long term linux support intentions [03:32] ghostboarder: looks more like a after thought than full support [03:34] yeesh....that is literally the ONLY product i needed to worry about compatibility with. Otherwise my shift to nix was complete [03:35] well that is pretty depressing [03:35] thx for your input RoscoePColtrane [03:36] no prob [03:38] Hi folks, testing one, two ...

[03:40] that might be a long answer, but in a nutshell :) [03:42] this is coming from a linux user but not exactly a high functioning nix admin haha [03:48] ghostboarder: no updates or patches and what not [03:51] hmmm [03:54] Vic2: Have a good night sleep!

[12:36] Will, my computer crashes like it always does because too many tabs open in Opera browser. Now, I can't get into the gui and goes into busybox. When I ran memtest86, I had 3 errors. Now I want to try and copy the home directory and passwords to a usb key if possible. Yet, I can't figure out how to mount both. [12:36] Ubuntu desktop 18.04 [12:39] R13ose: memtest86 showing errors - bad RAM. You're likely not going to be able to do anything functional on a system with a stick of bad ram placed in it [12:40] Not even mount? [12:40] R13ose: Might be better to plug that systems drive into a working system and recover from there, or (assuming multiple sticks of RAM) isolate the bad stick and remove [12:40] R13ose: Nothing - any anything you copy over is likely going to become corrupted [12:40] you can't really use a computer with faulty RAM [12:40] Really? Why would this be corrupted? [12:41] R13ose: The data is fine, but if you are trying to use a system with bad RAM to copy the data over to something, you're going to end up with a corrupted copy [12:41] Why? [12:41] R13ose: Because system RAM is used as a buffer during the copy [12:41] R13ose: Bad ram = corrupt buffer = corrupt data [12:42] R13ose: Is this a laptop or a desktop? === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB [12:42] Laptop [12:42] Gah, that complicates things. [12:42] Is the RAM accessable? [12:42] like, can you open it up and physically get to it? [12:43] If you are super lucky the system has more than one stick, and chances are very good that only one is dead [12:43] So you pull run, run a mem test, if you still get errors, pull the other, replace with the first, test [12:43] Yes but only one stick. I don't want to open this as there are other problems too. [12:43] ugh [12:43] One stick is accessible and the other one is not [12:43] oh that's weird [12:43] well pull the accessible one [12:44] maybe you'll get lucky [12:44] pull it, memtest [12:44] As I said, my laptop has additional issues that makes me not want to open laptop [12:45] Not much you can do then. You can try to maybe boot from a USB image, mount the drive, and then recover the data but with bad RAM inserted the chances of that working are pretty damn slim [12:45] and even if it does work you'll end up with corrupted data. [12:46] Corrupted data boo [12:47] R13ose: If it was me in this situation, i'd just take it apart. You're going to have to if you ever want to fix it. At worst you break it, pull the HDD/SDD, and recover it later from another system or get an adapter to hook the drive into something else [12:47] (just my opinion, your experience may vary) [12:47] I don't have another machine to use that is the issue. [12:47] yeah :( [12:47] Rough, not really sure what you tell you. [12:47] what to tell you* [12:48] I will turn this off and pull the memory off [12:48] maybe you'll get lucky [12:48] don't forget to memtest [12:48] hey, can someone help me recover an encrypted /home folder? after logging in, i cant access my files and i get "signature not found in keyring, try ecryptfs-mount-private" [12:49] How many tests should I do? last time, I did 10 tests and I had to esc that [12:49] what about googling the laptops make and model number; R13ose? If you have one accessible memory stick, good chances are that the other one also is. Perhaps hiding behind the keyboard (?) [12:50] ryusaku: yeah, that's what I was thinking too [12:50] I have and others did here too. I will open laptop [12:50] I have to open laptop [12:51] ryusaku: did you back up the encrypted passphrase? [12:51] Or the mount passphrase? [12:51] If no to both; you can't. [12:52] ryusaku: https://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ [12:52] mouses : probably some other user who asked that question [12:52] :) [12:52] oh shoot [12:53] sorry [12:53] motte_: ^^ that was meant for you [12:53] mouses: i tried that, i get "the key to required to access this private data is not available" [12:53] motte_: Right, you'd need to have backed it up [12:53] if you didn't, the data cannot be recovered [12:53] mouses: i actually do, i have a full disk backup from a few months ago [12:54] motte_: Oh sweet! Recover the passphrases and you should be golden then [12:54] mouses: im recovering the backup right now, how would i recover the passphrases? [12:55] motte_: Hmmmm, this should be what you need to do. [12:55] motte_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Long_way [12:55] motte_: it'll be a bit of a pain but should be doable [12:56] right, got it === jstein_ is now known as jstein [13:22] I removed the one strip of memory. Now I am doing memtest86 but how many tests should I do? === mkv is now known as m4v [13:24] Hi! I'm going to test default new gnome desktop (installed ubuntu-desktop). But have to run lightdm, not gdm3. Just wondering if unity-greeter is the default, or should I switch to another greeter package? === kundancool is now known as anonymousK === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [13:34] R13ose: A few passes should be fine [13:34] R13ose: If you're not showing any errors, you should be good to mount the drive and recover what you need to [13:35] Can I run the system normally if no errors? [13:35] R13ose: No reason why not [13:35] anyone run into difficulties controlling backlight brightness in ubuntu 18.04? [13:35] Tried Ubuntu on Wayland, that crashed ... which log file should I check? [13:36] why dmesg shows module's printk while /var/log/dmesg doesn't [13:36] Thanks. I will just continue to check because I want to be safe. [13:38] ANyone here seen some weird disk corruption (and consequently read-only file systems) after upgrading to 18.04? I'm running vSphere 6.7 vms, all recent kit, Synology 916+ with recent kit as well. [13:40] probably your hd has died, how old is it? is it an ssd? [13:40] No, it's a Synology [13:40] NAS [13:40] there are debian VMs that are running fine without a hitch [13:40] only the ubuntu 18.04 ones. didn't do it under 16.04 [13:45] i've upgraded from 17.04 to 18.04 and my filesystem has not encountered troubles fortunately.. [13:45] Having an issue. I installed DVDFab 10 x64. I double-clicked the desktop launcher a few times, it's not launching. It is installed via WINE [13:45] try it from a command line skinux [13:46] any hint on why dmesg shows kernel module's printk while /var/log/dmesg does not? i cannot tail dmesg's printks otherwise === limbo__ is now known as limbo_ [13:49] Anyone know what this means? https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/3cacd8b16a6644a4fe1409332e9c8603 === kundancool is now known as anonymousK === anonymousK is now known as kundancool === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [13:57] I booted normally and now again in busybox. This time it is saying https://pastebin.com/de6YRPPn [13:59] The grub list did come up and when I hit enter on Ubuntu, booted into busybox. The memtest86 didn't show any errors and I did lots of tests. [14:00] jas: does steam use a lot cpu for you? Because mine does... [14:04] R13ose: try booting a live usb and run fsck /dev/sda1 [14:05] Trying === BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman [14:09] From the live usb list, I hit enter on run Ubuntu. Now I am back in busybox and fsck is not found. [14:16] Is tehre a way to keep Ubuntu pinned at 16.04 so it wont upgrade to 18.04? [14:16] I'm going to reinstall this VM and try to keep it at 16.04 and see if tehre is some weird issue between 16/18 that is corrupting things [14:19] in the settings of update manager, you can disable upgrading (either LTS-es or short support or both) [14:20] brw: did the system administrator NOT initiate this 16 > 18 upgrade you speak of? [14:21] root did it [14:21] (me) [14:21] brw: i wouldn't think the computer/system would make such a decision on it's own without the administrator having been involved at some level [14:21] there was an apt process that ran that forced a 18.04 update isntead of keeping me at 16.04 [14:21] oh you know what [14:21] I ran the do-release-upgrade [14:22] now I remember. So as long as I don't do that, I'm on 16.04 === kundancool is now known as anonymousK [14:22] brw: then install 16.x and don't do that anymore [14:22] yeah I got it now [14:22] forgot about that little command [14:28] I get this error running the live usb: "(initramfs) mount mounting dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error" Yet, this live usb has worked before. [14:31] Have you verified the download? Did the hash sum match? How did you make a live USB? [14:32] I can't remember the tool I used but I used this live usb before in the same computer. [14:32] Are you sure you verified the download if it was corrupt or not? === anonymousK is now known as kundancool [14:35] Yes! [14:37] Are you trying to do a dual-boot between Windows and Ubuntu? [14:37] Nope. I only have Ubuntu [14:37] R13ose: boot it again using a different usb port if available [14:38] I will try that. [14:38] R13ose: try booting it on a different computer, if it doesn't boot on a second computer, make yourself another LiveUSB [14:47] Something is most definitely wrong with the live usb as I wasn't able to boot on another machine. I only have windows 10 on the other machines, what should I use to make a new LiveUSB? [14:48] R13ose: same process as when you created the liveusb you have now [14:48] I recommend Rufus as it creates a FAT32 and you can use your flash drive on Windows while you can boot to it. [14:49] R13ose: obtain an ISO, use a software utility to create bootable usb [14:51] mounting an ext4 volume using fstab. is there any option that changes the default permissions on all files/directories like the umask option on ntfs/vfat? [14:51] EoflaOE: I want to boot this on a Ubuntu only machine. [14:52] I now get it. Use decent USB maker that's available on Ubuntu. [14:52] EoflaOE: link? [14:52] I will give a link. One moment... [14:56] !chiedi [14:57] R13ose: you can just use the cp command from terminal (unmounted and with fdisk -l to check the right /dev/*location*) So no really in need for an app for this, although when you ram is not ok you probably want to do this on the other pc. [14:57] You can try Unetbootin. Do 'sudo apt-get install unetbootin' and ('gksu unetbootin' or 'gksudo unetbootin') [14:59] R13ose: though this can go wrong if you give a wrong /dev/*location*, so be careful! [14:59] coconut: oh I know [15:01] EoflaOE: confused. I am on another machine that has Windows 10. The machine that is broken boots only Ubuntu. Should I be using Rufus or Unetbootin to create the live usb on the Windows 10 machine? [15:01] I prefer Rufus on the Windows 10 machine. Make sure you have a valid Ubuntu ISO there. [15:02] EoflaOE: how do I know if I do? [15:02] R13ose: check the sha256 sum. [15:03] Go to the location that you have downloaded the ISO on. (common path: Downloads) [15:04] EoflaOE: done [15:04] Found anything? [15:05] Yes [15:05] can anyone help me understand why nodejs and nodejs-dev are being held back by apt on the update i just did? [15:07] R13ose: Go to Rufus, click on the CD-ROM icon, then select the Ubuntu ISO file that is downloaded, then plug in your USB, press START, and follow the instructions. Be sure not to turn off the PC or disconnect while it's doing its job [15:07]
