oft_gegonghi everyone. So I got Lubuntu 18.10 with my nVidia GTX 1050 rollin'. I'm a gamer, and I love video resolutions. My problem is I don't understand how to configure my X11/xorg/nvidia graphics to automatically detect various resolutions with my laptop display. Can anyone help?00:35
oft_gegongRight now I'm at 1920x1080 resolution. I want to be able to switch to 800x60000:36

tripelblovely (not) Chrome has frozen twice in the last 2 days. 1. on 40 tabs, mostly opened from photos. Actually Ubuntu froze completely. 2. Today just now Chrome froze and Ubuntu reported an internal problem". I DID sent the report.  Then I have been advised to reboot. I wont, just to see what happens.   ---  To Whom It May Concern.00:56

p7fHi, i've noticed that cheese application and other gstreamer based apps stoped working in ubuntu 18.04. Upgrading to ubuntu 18.10 did not fix the problem... anyone with same problem?00:58

cliffmI updated from 16.04 to 18.04 and my display manager will not let me login from physical connection.  I can still login using VNC and see my desktop.  The desktop I'm using is XFCE on Ubuntu Server.  I have replaced gdm3 with LightDM and after entering the correct password, it just loops.  Any ideas how to fix this?01:42

Vashyhi all is there a place I can look up what some of these hidden files/folders in my home directory are?04:29
Vashyor is it just something I have to individually search up?04:29
Vashye.g. I see there's a hidden directory: ".nv" with a bunch of sub dirs that are just some crypto hashes with data files in them04:30
Vashyidk if it's safe to delete or not04:30
VashyI see two directories in there named: "ComputeCache" and "GLCache"04:30
VashyI'm guessing it's an nvidia thing04:30
Vashysince I have an nvidia gfx card04:30
dbVashy: there are some "standard" folders but generally you can just google them - right, .nv is some nvidia cache.04:32
bmoreno reason to del04:32
Vashyso I'm trying to use git to track my home directory and just did "git init" but there are a ton of hidden files/directories in the home directory that I know nothing about04:33

aidrocsidCan I put an ubuntu USB installer on half a thumb drive or does it strictly have to take the whole thing?04:50

aidrocsidty04:56
lotuspsychjeaidrocsid: just keep in mind its not officially supported04:57
aidrocsidCool04:57
lotuspsychjeaidrocsid: another way could be create your usb stick full with ubuntu, and just use the space left on for other data04:59
lotuspsychjeaidrocsid: or, after you installed ubuntu just wipe your install stick and use it full for data04:59
aidrocsidNot a bad idea, already got a win10 installer on half of it though04:59

Vashywhen I installed ubuntu 16.04 a couple years ago, I chose to use ecrypt to encrypt my home directory06:05

TheWildthat's really weird stuff happening. When I run audacity before pavucontrol, I still have this problem, but when I run pavucontrol first, then audacity, everything just works.11:39

jamie12a friend of mine 100% linux noob is thinking of dealing their encoding rig to linux for the drastically less overhead but if it's on Wayland or Mir it's gonna be a bit of work to set everything up for them13:46
jamie12would explain the extreme slowness in OBS they were expirencing13:47
BluesKajjamie12, X11 is still default...wayland is an option13:48
Sven_vBjamie12, video encoding? like avconv?13:48
jamie12okay, that leaves OBS itself, which I can work with13:48
jamie12probably gonna need to compile it from scratch and do ffmpeg13:49
BluesKajffmpeg still works fine13:49
Sven_vBit's avconv nowadays. and I read it supports render farms, so you don't need to burden the render rig with any GUI at all.13:50
jamie12I figured that, but stock OBS from the apt-get is always doodoo13:50
jamie12need a gui though for obs13:51

tomreynAsad2005: i can, once you've posted it, not before ;)13:57
tomreynAsad2005: please also sum up the issue again, my memory is short-lived13:58
jamie12and Sven_B running the remote avconv is it resource intensive or very light weight?13:58
Sven_vBjamie12, I never checked. I just assume and hope that the cost of avconv is negligible compared to the codecs it runs.13:59
tomreyn!pastebinit | Asad200514:00
ubottuAsad2005: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit14:00
jamie12I just need to make sure impact on remote system is minimal14:00
jamie12well, on the started acting as a remote14:01
Sven_vB?? the remote system would be your render rig, so avconv and its codecs should have maximum impact, ideally be the only thing the rig does at all.14:01
Sven_vBmaybe minor control traffic via network14:02
jamie12I mean impact on the system accessing it as a remote14:03
Sven_vBprobably the same as editing the video locally, minus most of the codec work.14:03
Asad2005tomreyn: please look at the log in this link http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4GRP2Trgqr/14:04
Sven_vBso depends on what kind of video editor you use. if you use just an SSH session to issue avconv commands manually, very low impact. ;)14:04
jamie12I specifically need obs14:05
Asad2005tomreyn: I was having problem logging in to my ubuntu GUI after upgrade to 18.10, lightdm greeter issue resolved and now i can only login to mate desktop14:05
Sven_vBthen all of OBS minus lots of the codec work.14:05
jamie12that's fine, as long as I can figure out how to run it14:06
Sven_vBif you intend to capture local av with software, you'll probably max out even a somewhat impressive network link.14:07
Asad2005tomreyn: In mate desktop liferea app is crashing and logging me out14:07
jamie12the machine accessing it will be Windows and is generating all of the content being encoded all I need to make sure it will be minimal impact on the machine14:07
Asad2005tomreyn: all other sessions when selected it goes back to greeter in few seconds14:08
Asad2005tomreyn: The following sessions are on my system "cairo-dock.desktop  gnome-classic.desktop  gnome.desktop  gnome-xorg.desktop  mate.desktop  ubuntu.desktop"14:10
Asad2005tomreyn: and only mate desktop working14:10
Sven_vBjamie12, it's all about how your video and audio signal is transmitted to the render rig. if you render rig has hardware to receive and forward HDMI and S/PDIF, there should be no more impact than with a regular screen. if you try to squeeze the uncompressed data through ethernet, the network card will probably explode. ;)14:12
tomreynAsad2005: thanks for the summary. so the log you posted, which file does it originate from?14:12
tomreynAsad2005: also it looks like you only posted the (EE) records, please post the full log instead14:13
jamie12right now we're trying to squeeze as much performance out of a threadripper 2950x as we can Sven_B14:14
Sven_vBjamie12, from what I hear, obs is very cumbersome on users' time effort. so it might be more efficient investing the obs config and annoyance work into a pay job instead, and buy capture hardware from that.14:14
jamie12we're aiming for next to perfect encoding14:14
Asad2005tomreyn: grep -F '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log14:14
tomreynAsad2005: please do: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log14:15
jamie12we have all the hardware, it's more of a software thing at this point... and getting a Logitech brio running right on Linux lol14:15
Sven_vBnow that I think of it, when I hear about people using OBS for local capture they usually don't even try to encode it live. they record uncompressed av to a hard disk and then encode it later.14:16
Asad2005tomreyn: full log is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2T3xbZCGRt/14:16
jamie12Sven_B this is for live capture and encoding proposes14:17
Sven_vBlike realtime streaming?14:18
jamie12yes14:18
jamie12that's why the need for extreme optimizations14:18
jamie12and 18 cores lol14:18
jamie12that's why we want linux as the windows os overhead is painful14:19

jamie12Sven HDMI capture, browser source and Logitech brio14:24
Sven_vBok so brio is a webcam. that can probably be connected directly to the render rig as to not burden the browser machine. a browser used for regular websites should have low enough fps as to not burden the network link very much either. what's the HDMI capture?14:27
jamie12not sure yet, waiting on her to get back to me, it's not locally on the rig though which makes it interesting14:28
tomreynAsad2005: do you have, in /etc/X11/ , a file or directory which starts with 'xorg'?14:28
Sven_vBif it's acceptable to have worse quality in the preview, you could consider running the browser on the render rig, capture it there in high quality and view it on the interactive machine in low-res via some VNC-y remote control software.14:28
jamie12to me this is a fun challenge to work out, I still need to figure out how to get 1080p60 from the webcam14:28
m5wHello.  A program that captures my mouse and keyboard crashed.  What can I do to kill it?14:29
Sven_vBm5w, SSH in, issue kill command14:30
Sven_vBif it's still grabbing the input focus, it's probably not crashed enough yet.14:30
m5wSven_vB, I don't think I ever set up an SSH server on my laptop14:30
dbm5w: can you get to a console by pressing  ctrl+alt+f2 ?14:31
dbkill it from there.14:31
m5wdb, already tried that14:31
dbgo back to UI with ctrl alt f714:31
tomreynAsad2005: if so, rename it so it wont be found, and reboot, then post Xorg.0.log again14:31
m5wactually UI is on ctrl+alt+f1 now :)14:31
dbfor me it's still on f714:31
dbidk14:31
m5wI also tried spamming ctrl+alt+delete to try to get the 7 times within 2 seconds reboot, bit that didn't work14:32
Sven_vBm5w, you could try hack your own box then. or reboot and install SSH. there are so many cases where you'd want to have a back door when the main graphics fail.14:32
dbwell if rebooting is a solution you can just powercycle your laptop14:32
Sven_vBm5w, does numlock still toggle?14:33
m5wSven_vB, nope14:33
Asad2005tomreyn: only xorg.conf.failsafe14:33
Asad2005tomreyn: but there are somefiles starting with X like Xsession ..etc14:35
someone_why play twitter video increases usage and heat of cpu ?14:35
jamie12Sven_B it won't be the end of the world if I have to run a ui locally14:35
jamie12I just want to make sure there is 100% control of OBS on one of the systems as the user is nowhere near experienced with command line14:36
Sven_vBm5w, you could still try the magic sysrg. one time where rebooting would have been reeeeeeally costly, and I knew the problem was OOM, I issued the OOM sysrq a few times, waited and prayed. about half an hour later the system was responsive enough again to clean up the debris manually.14:36
m5wah!14:37
m5wsysreq worked14:37
Sven_vBm5w, however, if you didn't install SSH, I guess you didn't enable sysrq either14:37
m5wthe problem was that I wasn't pressing alt before14:37
someone_why play twitter video increases usage and heat of cpu ? and what is the solution ? I'm using kubuntu 16.0414:37
Sven_vByeah one part of enabling sysrq is testing which keys really trigger it. :)14:37
jamie12I know I can get everything set up, biggest thing is gonna be getting the webcam running at 1080p6014:38
Sven_vBsomeone_, decoding web video is somewhat math heavy.14:38
Sven_vBjamie12, once you get it to run in guvcview, you can use its settings for avconv14:39
someone_Sven_vB but this is not a problem on windows , why ?14:39
tomreynAsad2005: opy this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PVPFsmPYdC/14:39
Sven_vBsomeone_, might be about graphics drivers then. maybe your twitter browser runs software rendering for the video pixels.14:40

jamie12would be able to write output to a revolving file so to speak? like as you record and write to the file, read write then delete it15:09

Asad2005tomreyn: shall i reboot and see15:11
tomreynAsad2005: ok, you can reboot now. if there are still no improvements after reboot: reboot again, but to recovery menu, use the last menu option to drop to a root shell, then create a new user 'test' with a secure password using " adduser test --gecos '' ". then press ctrl-d (or type exit, to have the boot continue, then login as this new user on the graphical desktop using your preferred session.15:11
Sven_vBjamie12, and then read the file and send its data to the encoding rig?15:12
basalthi, after upgrade, the shell on top left display no blue line on the sound and screen brightness sliders, i selected the Yaru theme15:13
Asad2005tomreyn: what is the --gecos option for ? and the ''15:17
tomreynAsad2005: so that it doesn't ask you about the users' location, office, pphone number etc. you can also omit " --gecos '' " and just press enter for every prompts except for the password.15:18

AnticomHey guys, quick question. I've booted ubuntu on a friends laptop in order to wipe a windows partition. By wiping i mean i don't want to delete everything but securely override all free files18:18
TJ-Anticom: what are "free files"18:18
Anticomshe want's to sell the laptop and i've reset windows which doesn't let me get an admin console anymore. So i thought about using ntfswipe etc. on linux18:18
AnticomIs there something i'18:18
Anticomm missing?18:18
Anticomor can i just run "sudo ntfswipe -a /dev/sd<win-partition>18:18
TJ-Anticom: have you read "man ntfswipe" ?18:19
Anticomjust briefly flew over it18:19
AnticomTJ just wanted to make sure i don't mess it up because i haven't got time to restore it and i wouldn't have any windows restoration media left18:20
Anticomthis laptop is slow AF, took three days to do the factory reset18:20
TJ-Anticom: if you're going to perform a dangerous operation like a wipe, then spending time to read the manual would seem to me to be a prerquisite18:21
Anticomwell it says "overwrite unused space on an NTFS volume" but i don't understand all options18:22
Anticomhence i came here to ask you whether -a was a good idea18:22
tachikomasAnticom, its not what it's made for.18:22
tachikomascustom.conf : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/9cS56Jv5GH/18:24
Anticomtachikomas: okay. Any other way to get what i want?18:24
TJ-Anticom: if you look at many of the other options it helps; I was just looking and there's things like --mft --directory --logfile --pagefile --tails --unused18:24
Anticomthe thing is that there used to be kinda sensitive data on that laptop and i'd like to make sure no files can be restored18:25
Anticomhowever since windows is on it's factory-reset state i can't log in to use windows do that18:25
TJ-Anticom: I think --all means it uses all of those options, which is why it warns it can take a long time18:25
TJ-Anticom: It looks to me as if --all is more than sufficient18:25
tachikomasIf you want to be sure that no files can be restored, then change hard drive, destroy this one, put a new one in the laptop18:26
TJ-Anticom: I'd use it with --verbose to get some feedback too18:26
Anticomtachikomas: data was not that sensitive18:26
Anticommore like personal photos etc.18:26
Anticombut no company or bank data18:26
Anticomso putting a new HDD into a already cheap laptop and selling it used which won't get us much is not a viable option18:27
Anticomi just want to avoid some 12yr old script kiddie to restore anything with some freeware you can google for18:28
TJ-Anticom: for your purposes ntfswipe is fine :)18:28
Anticomthat's the kind of security that's sufficient18:28
tachikomasok :)18:28
TJ-Anticom: the 1980/1990 style of being able to recover data from 'wiped' drives no longer holds; biggest risk these days is SSDs and wear-levelling - but in either case the attacker is going to need a specialist rig to make the attempt, and they're still not guaranteed to gain anything18:29
Anticomwell as i said, it's not about high-risk sensitive data but more the personal stuff18:30
=== Dreaman is now known as BgLamersTeam
Anticomhttps://imgur.com/TobJ5vD okay so this is what the HDD looks like and windows is /dev/sda318:30
Anticomso just do `sudo ntfswipe -a -v /dev/sda3` ?18:31
AnticomIf it takes a few hours that won't matter18:31
TJ-Anticom: I think so, although you may be being optimistic when you say "few hours" - depends on the throughput and seek latency of the drive18:32
Anticomanything below 48 hours is okay18:32
TJ-Anticom: I'd say "overnight"18:32
Anticomthat's no problem18:32
AnticomTJ-:  i know i'm being annoying about it but that's the options i want for ntfswipe (that i've posted above), right?18:33
tachikomas@ioria, i would really prefer to avoid reinstalling everything.. and find the solution to this problem but.. it's over my knowledge at the moment :/18:33

tachikomastomreyn, no clue.18:41
tachikomasmaybe something back from the 16.04 ?18:42
tomreynmaybe from a ppa you have or once had installed, or a non packaged software.18:43

tomreynTJ-: root on my 18.04.1 amd6418:50
tomreynroot:root18:51
TJ-tomreyn: IceLockAuthFile ?18:51
TJ-tomreyn: I thought this would be $HOME/{.}IceLockAuthFile18:51
tomreynoh thought you mean /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session18:51
tachikomasroot:root on mine18:51
TJ-tomreyn: no, that's the reporter! I would hae expected IceLockAuthFile to be owned by $USER in $HOME18:52
tomreynso would i. i dont have this file.18:53
TJ-No, that's reference, it should be $HOME/.ICEauthority18:53
TJ-tachikomas: what does "ls -l $HOME/.ICEauthority" report? is it owned by your $USER or root?18:54
tomreynright, i have this one, owned by my restricted user18:54
tachikomas$USER18:55
tachikomasand my group user18:55
ioriatachikomas, sorry, you need to uncomment  #WaylandEnable=false   in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf18:55
tomreynoh right there is (or was?) some bug with old intel gpu's where this can be needed.18:56
TJ-tachikomas: that error report in your log indicates the file is stale; delete it, then try logging in once again18:56
tachikomasso i delete .ICEauthority dpkg-reconfigure gdm to use gdm as a dm and reboot ?18:57
eaglgenes101I'm getting "Cannot upgrade Secure Boot enforcement policy due to unsigned kernels"18:58
TJ-tachikomas: no reboot necessary; this isn't Windows :)18:58
eaglgenes101And the kernels that it identifies as unsigned are ones that I want to keep around18:58
tachikomasTJ-, even with systemd ? :)18:58
tachikomasthing is, when i will logout, i will fall into lightdm no ?18:58
TJ-tachikomas: huh? restarting the GUI never requires a reboot18:59
tachikomasshould i kill lightdm then ?18:59
TJ-tachikomas: switch to a text console, "sudo systemctl stop lightdm; sudo dpkg-reconfigure gmd3; sudo systemctl start gdm3"18:59
eaglgenes101So how do I get a signature on the kernels?18:59
TJ-tachikomas: of course, correct my typos!18:59
tachikomasok.19:00
zetherooIt seems like gthumb has serious issues with memory leakage19:00
eaglgenes101Some browsing says that if I'm sufficiently inclined, I can generate my own keypair, sign the kernels myself, register the key, and then next boot, authorize the keys19:00
Kon-Is it possible for an old .bin installer to extract files outside of ~ if I only ran it with normal user permissions?19:00
TJ-eaglgenes101: when S.B. is enabled the upgrader won't run to avoid locking you out; you'd need to disable S.B. *or* enroll your own MOK into the firmware and sign the kernel images/modules with that19:00

zetherooThis is exactly what I am seeing19:01
mobile_chow do i query files owned by a package19:01
eaglgenes101I'd like the second option. Where's the starting point of that?19:01
TJ-mobile_c: "dpkg -L <package-name>"19:01
zetheroo'if I use the editing mode like "automatic contrast adjustment" and "rotate". From 500 Mb it grows till all my 8 Gb RAM are occupied and the computer freezes.'19:01
tomreynKon-: sure, it can write everywhere the user executing it can write to.19:01
tomreynKon-: normally that's not a lot of places other than what ~/ points to, but surely some.19:02
Kon-Okay, thank you. So if I didn't have root permissions at the time, I don't think it could have dumped stuff into /usr/lib, for example19:02
TJ-eaglgenes101: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot19:02
Kon-I was trying to see if this old installer still worked. And it did. And most files went to the expected directory. But there a handful of files which seem to have been dumped elsewhere19:03
TJ-Kon-: assuming your $USER isn't a member of a group with write permissions to that location19:03
tomreynKon-: it couldn't unless you have modified your users' groups ownerships in unsafe ways or did the same to the ownership or permissions of /usr/lib19:03
TJ-Kon-: or possibly ACLs19:03
texlaUbuntu 18.04 ..When booting grub version shows 2.02 yet when using grub-install -v it shows this..https://pastebin.com/JjNXGMd8..I don't use uefi19:04
eaglgenes101Is this the way to go to self-sign the kernels I want? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/Signing19:04
tomreynKon-: next time, consider running it in a VM or chroot instead, or try to unpack its contents yourself without executing it.19:04
TJ-texla: you have to tell grub-install which device to install to, e.g. /dev/sdX19:04
Kon-Thanks guys. There's only 13 stray files that went to some other directory, so I can hopefully track them down. It told me the filenames but not the full path19:05
tomreyneaglgenes101: yes, probably19:05

=== BgLamersTeam is now known as Dreaman
tachikomasi have this message continuously in syslog19:06
ioriatachikomas, why do you persist using wayland ?19:07
coconutTJ-, you remember me talking to you a week ago about connecting a stereo speaker(Bose) with bluetooth? Well... I went adventures today... and just tried it with ubuntu mate. It works better than under macos. Both my mouse and speaker get easier(can be more than a minute in macosx) detected and don't loose connection which happens under mac.19:07
TJ-tachikomas: tomreyn I think the home directory is ecryptfs and may not have correctly mounted19:07
tachikomasioria because it works ? Its activated by default. I dont "want" it.19:08
tomreynTJ-: so you think it's not related to wayland?19:08
ioriatachikomas, you need to uncomment  #WaylandEnable=false   in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf19:08
coconut(i do not touch "the other" distro anymore though)19:08
tachikomasok. I uncomment. and do again the same steps19:08
ioriatachikomas, and it's no more default on 18.0419:08
TJ-tomreyn: I have no opinion on that, but the errors we've seen so far are classic for a badly mounted ecryptfs19:09
ioriatachikomas, it's default on 17.1019:09
tomreynTJ-: this sounds like i want to stay away from debugging it ;)19:09
texlaTJ-, Do I put /dev/sdx before or after -version19:09
TJ-tomreyn: I'm just dealing with errors that show up :)19:09
TJ-texla: if you use "-version" grub-install won't do anything else19:10
TJ-texla: "grub-install -v /dev/sdX" (replace X). the -v is 'verbose' output19:10
TJ-tomreyn: e.g. if /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private isn't being mounted on $HOME then core config files may be missing, or there amy be some unexpected files there19:12
tomreynyes indeed. adding another user and trying to login as this user may work then?19:13
TJ-tomreyn: that would be a good test19:13
tomreyni'm not sure where it currently fails, though, before or after login19:13
=== LevierMRQ1 is now known as LevierMRQ
TJ-tomreyn: the log you pointed me to made me think it fails after the greeter and is trying to log the user in, tries to access/write the .ICEauthority file, and fails because that file exists. I had always thought existence was OK, but being read-only or owned by another user (or possible immutable) was the prooblem19:15
tomreynTJ-: yes, makes sense19:16
TJ-tomreyn: as in "AccountsService: ActUserManager: user tachikomas is now loaded" ... but note are they using passwordless login (which WOULD break ecryptfs) since "GdmSessionWorker: determining if authenticated user (password required:0) is authorized to session"19:17
TJ-tomreyn: "password required:0" suggests 0 == false ?19:17
TJ-tomreyn: and just prior to both those messages "AccountsService: ActUserManager: tracking new user with object path /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000" seems to confirm it is the first user account19:18
tomreynoh i didnt see this, so auto login would explain why gdm would not even show a login prompt and the graphical session failing 'immediately'19:19
GudduTJ-, tomreyn ioria My problem from yesterday is all sorted out. My ERP App is running fine without having to do anything.19:19
ioriaGuwe are glad about that, cheers19:19
GudduDid a Purge and all went well.19:19
TJ-So, if this user has set autologin that'll break ecryptfs (since it cannot unwrap the passphrase using the password) and therfore the user home directory will not be mounted. Whereas, if the user then logs in via a text console it will be mounted19:19
ioriaGuddu, we are glad about that, cheers19:19
TJ-tomreyn: so this would affect all GUI logins but not console/text19:20
tomreynTJ-: i think tachikomas said lightdm worked fine, though, didnt they?19:21
tachikomasSo. I tried without wayland, i tryed to remove gdm3 and ubuntu-desktop and reinstall it. I still have the same message about the screensaver that i had previously in the log19:21

TJ-tomreyn: if using an encrypted home directory, then yes19:22
TJ-hzx: use 'cryptsetup'19:22
TJ-hzx: see "man cryptsetup" and its "TCRYPT (TrueCrypt-compatible and VeraCrypt) EXTENSION" section19:23

hzxok, thanks19:23
=== gpunk_ is now known as gpunk
ioriahzx, with gnome-disks19:23
tachikomasso what should i do ? Full clean reinstall ? or live with lightdm ?19:25
hzxdoes it have a mount container menu/option somewhere?19:25
TJ-tachikomas: have you been enabling autologin with GDM?19:25
tomreynTJ-: so gdm3 autologin would normally be set in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (which has been posted here https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/9cS56Jv5GH/ )19:26
tachikomasno.19:26
tachikomasnever do autologin.19:26
TJ-tomreyn: or from the $USER's Settings panel according to https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/login-automatic.html.en19:26
TJ-tachikomas: right, because we were wondering if the ecryptfs home directory mount failures were the cause of this19:27
tomreynTJ-: the settings panel changes this very file, i just tested19:28
tachikomasbut even, i never had any home encryptfs.19:29
tachikomascant find any trace of it in conf files.19:29
TJ-tomreyn: Aha, that makes sense19:29
TJ-tachikomas: just to be sure "sudo ls -l /home/.ecryptfs/"19:30
tomreyntachikomas: so when you boot into gdm3, what happens exactly, where does it fail, and how?19:30
TJ-tachikomas: if you see any usernames there, those are the accounts with encrypted files19:30
tachikomasno. I dont see anything actually, it stop on the boot sequences, and start to have flashing black screen19:30
tachikomasif i switch to another tty than the first one, i can use it for around 30/35 secondes, and i got a black screen again and need to go back to my terminal19:31
eaglgenes101Which specific kernel files do I sign to okay them for booting?19:31
tachikomasit happend only with gdm3. With lightdm, i can login with no problem.19:31
tachikomasi can see in the syslog that i have errors with the scrensaver.19:32
tachikomasand thats it.19:32
TJ-tachikomas: so what is happening there is that the greeter is failing and then retrying, which is why it takes over the console and switches tty away from you19:32
TJ-tachikomas: does it get as far as (trying to) display the greeter log-in ?19:33
=== gpunk_ is now known as gpunk
tachikomasnope. It hang before.19:33
tachikomasit hang on OK Started user manager for UID 13219:34
TJ-tachikomas: so that is different to what we see in the log at line 11119:34
tomreyntachikomas: i asked for dmesg output in the very beginning, you did not provide it, on purpose? it would be nice to see at least the last couple of lines after gdm3 failed.19:35
tachikomasi give you the dmesg at the very begining19:35
tomreyntachikomas: sorry, i missed it, got it now.19:36
TJ-someone on Arch reports the same issue some time ago https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=22029919:37

tomreyntachikomas: is anything added in dmesg when gdm fails?19:40
TJ-tachikomas: how many monitors does the PC have connected?19:40
tomreyntachikomas: when did this problem start occurring? did you upgrade recently?19:42
tomreynyou said "<tachikomas> upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04", but not whether this (or something else) introduced this issue, if i'm not mistaken.19:43
tachikomasonly one.19:44
tachikomastomreyn, nothing.19:44
tomreyntachikomas: which of my questions is this the answer to?19:44
tachikomasnothing from dmesg.19:45
tachikomasit started this morning. Nothing done on the computer. Just wanted to boot it normally19:45
tachikomascan i make a deep clean of gdm3 files (config etc) easily to start with a fresh one ?19:46
TJ-tachikomas: let's check if a recentl package upgrade may be the cause. can you show us "pastebinit /var/log/apt/history.log"19:46
tomreyntachikomas: so the only change you made was to switch from lightdm to gdm?19:46
tachikomastomreyn, it was the idea when i saw i couldnt boot in gdm, i would prefer to use gdm, but i had lightdm installed from the previous version of ubuntu19:47
TJ-tomreyn: how about running a 'debsums gdm3' ?19:47
eaglgenes101Alright, how does grub and shim identify that a kernel is signed?19:48
tachikomashttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6TjRxD56vh/19:48
tachikomaspaste of apt history19:49
TJ-tachikomas: tomreyn I think the problem is "org.gnome.ScreenSaver[5107]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused" which causes ScreenSaver to 'exit 1'19:49
tomreynTJ-: or just purge and reinstall19:49
TJ-tomreyn: it'd be good to know if there is a problem before replacing though19:49

TJ-tachikomas: what about "flat-remix-gnome" - that was installed just before gnome-shell-extensions19:54
tachikomasnothing more than a icon pack for gnome that i used previously.19:54
eaglgenes101How does the shim check that the kernel is signed? I have .signed files, but it's not identifying them19:54
TJ-tachikomas: so timewise it's between 0600 and 0644 local time - that gives us a timeframe to look at in the system logs19:55
TJ-tachikomas: we can use that to query journalctl19:55
tachikomasok :)19:55
tachikomasthanks a lot for your help all. I really want to debug that better than reinstall everything19:56
TJ-tachikomas: try this, make sure the range of timestamps looks correct, then we can pastebin it. "journalctl --since 06:00 --until 06:45"19:56
eaglgenes101...19:56
TJ-tachikomas: I think it needs = symbols:  "journalctl --since=06:00 --until=06:45"19:57
tachikomasok19:57
TJ-eaglgenes101: shim is signed my Microsoft CA, and contains the Canonical signing certificate, which checks grubx64.efi .... and so on19:58
TJ-tachikomas: if that command works, wrap it in "pastebinit <( ... )"19:58

eaglgenes101hello?20:36
lunorianUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS20:36
lunorianLinux Nathaniels-MacBookPro 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux20:36
lunorianI want Ubuntu to be my daily driver badly opposed to macOS20:37
tomreynlunorian: why is getting another chipset not an option, does it not have any external ports?20:37
lunorianCosts primarly20:37
tachikomasTJ-, I think i will try this20:37
eaglgenes101i am still stuck trying to get shim to recognise my kernel signatures20:38
tomreynlunorian: you acquired apple hardware20:38
lunorianwhat can I do for now to stop the disconnect20:38
lunorianand that was quite some time ago :|20:38
tachikomasshould i reinstall straight after ?20:38
tomreynlunorian: when you run "dmesg -w", is there anything printed when the connection drops?20:39
TJ-tomreyn: I'd suspect tlp is being too aggressive and powering down USB/wifi :)20:39
tomreynTJ-: tlp? power saving?20:39
lunorianhappened before tlp20:39
tomreynoh i didn't actually know tlp until i just searched it20:40
TJ-tomreyn: yes, tlp has a command specifically for radios too20:41
tomreynlunorian: did it also happen before you applied changes using powertop?20:41
lunorianyes20:41
tachikomasTJ-, ok, i purge, reconfigure, reboot to check. Everything working fine on GDM now. Maybe i did something i shouldnt at one point on the conf file20:41
lunorianhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q3jCb7WkKF/20:41
TJ-lunorian: can you "pastebinit <( dmesg )"20:42
lunorianis that info helpful20:42
mossi have ubuntu 18.04 LTS with nvidia gtx 1060 6GB graphics card and am using the nouveau driver and experiencing massive amounts of screen tearing. any proper recommendations on getting rid of this besides loading up nvidias driver?20:42
tomreynTJ-: i spotted tlp-rdw, thanks20:42
tachikomasMany Thanks for your help20:42
TJ-tachikomas: wow, really! We wasted dome time20:42
tachikomasI know :/20:42
tachikomasSorry about that20:42
tachikomashave still no clue what happened20:42
TJ-tachikomas: no worries, at least it is fixed20:42
tachikomasThanks a lot20:42
tomreynlunorian: yes, "brcmf_inetaddr_changed: fail to get arp ip table err:-23" looks like it could be a problem20:43
lunorianokay great we're getting somewhere20:43
tomreynalso that it fails to load the firmware20:43
lunorianthat's likely the source of the disconnects20:43
lunorianSo where do we go from here20:43
tomreynsearch the web for thios errors, see what others did20:44
TJ-tomreyn: did you notice the failed firmware loads for apparentyl matching files?20:44
lunorian"  Also in my case I solved it by disabling WMM, not sure how to solve this for this ticket... Since it's really environment related."20:45
lunorianwhat is WMM?20:45
tomreynTJ-: my interpretation is that two files were attempted to be loaded and did not exist, but a different part of the firmware was loaded.20:46
lunoriansource: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/157532120:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1575321 in linux (Ubuntu) "brcmfmac: Direct firmware load failed" [Medium,Expired]20:47
tomreynlunorian: i think WMM is wireless management mode. this bug report is a good find. it also says "Usually rmmod brcmfmac && modprobe brcmfmac successfully load the driver, and wifi is functional once more"20:48
tomreynlunorian: maybe the system suspended, woke from suspend and since then you have these issues?20:48
lunorianSo what do I need to do run that command every boot? Something else?20:48
eaglgenes101um20:49
tomreynlunorian: it's too early to say what the proper counter measure is.20:50
lunorian_interesting20:50
lunorian_I ran that command with some success20:51
lunorian_there is no longer a question mark in the top right hand corner20:51
lunorian_rather a signal indicator20:51
TJ-tomreyn: looks that way; apparently BRCM are separating the country-specific info into a .clm_blob file to go with the pcie.bin files, but for the 43602 that hasn't been done yet20:51
lunorian_TJ-: that's interesting20:52
lunorian_my issue MIGHT be resolved partially20:52
lunorian_no more question mark in top right hand corner20:52
lunorian_so I'm successfully connected for now20:52
lunorian_I stored a .sh script to run the module thingy in my home folder20:52
lunorian_that'll be enough for now20:52
lunorian_next up why don't have 5Ghz available20:53
lunorian_could you provide any guidence on getting 5Ghz working?20:54
tomreynlunorian_: with this hardware and lack of vendor support the state is "be glad it works at all".20:56
lunorian_What can I do to try and get vendor support?20:56
lunorian_Who do I get in contact with?20:56
tomreynbcm stands for broadcom20:56
lunorian_And the big issue with disconnects is "probably fixed"20:57
lunorian_I might have to run that script every reboot20:57
lunorian_But I have a workaround to stay connected at least20:57
lunorian_Gonna contact Broadcom and see if anyone there is willing to hel20:57
lunorian_help20:57
lunorian_thanks for your help though20:57
tomreyngood luck!20:57
TJ-I suspect controlling power-save/WMM with 'iw' may have helped21:00
droidlatin1Someone knows if the gnome ram issue was solved in 18.04 LTS21:07
OerHeks"the" gnome ram issue?21:10
tomreynhmm yes good point, TJ21:12
droidlatin1Memory leak21:12
lafleurdubienwhich ubuntu-based distros do not allow desktop icons by default?21:16
xangualafleurdubien: gnome desktop21:23
lafleurdubiengnome and pantheon. any others?21:27
xanguaGnome based desktops (?)21:28
xanguaThere are not really a lot21:28
lafleurdubienwhat about KDE? is it default that desktop files/folders located in "~/Desktop" actually appear as icons on the desktop without any tweaking on a fresh Kubuntu or KDE neon install?21:29
Surkow|laptophello guys, I have a question about a fresh ubuntu 18.10 install. Can I disable compositing in the window manager?21:47
Surkow|laptopit's unbearably slow with an IGP21:47
Surkow|laptopgnome-tweaks disable animation doesn't appear to do anything21:48
Greyztaris it possibel have a webserver use sock proxy on port 443 and then still be able to access webserver through non proxy port 8021:48
tomreynGreyztar: you'd probably have separate services listening there. a sock proxy server on 443, e.g. dante, and a webserver on 80. but this will break https access to the webserver.21:50
Surkow|laptoprun multiple instances?21:50
Surkow|laptop:D21:50
Greyztartomreyn: ahh yes sorri i was thinking the other way aorund21:51
Greyztartomreyn: but still it would be possibel?21:51
tomreynGreyztar: what i described would be possible, i'm not certain this is what you are trying to achieve.21:52
Greyztartomreyn: i could just redirect port 80 to 443 then or so no?21:52
Greyztartomreyn: it is,i got a site i need access too,but i also need the server to fetch info through a proxy so this woould do it i think,im using tsocks should be ok no?21:53
tomreynhmm maybe you're mixing things up there. are you saying the server where the webserver is listening on port 80 needs to connect somewhere else through a socks proxy to access something?21:55
Greyztartomreyn: thanks for helping also ill try it in an vm (,")21:56
tomreynif only this server needs to connect somewhere through socks then it doesn't actually need to run a socks proxy server itself, allowing others to connect to it.21:57
Greyztari might be a little of with the question,ive fried the brain on trying to figure out how to make lxd push containers through nat22:01
Greyztarthanks for helping nontheless22:01
klu3I'm using KDE and on the login there's an option between Plasma or Plasma (wayland); which one should I use? i got geforce 8800 GT 512 VRAM22:28
Kon-klu3: Plasma22:34
Bashing-omklu3: Nvidia support in Wayland is still a work in progress .22:41
JustAPersonWhere do I report a bug in a core package? Like `linux-tools-generic`22:50
JustAPersonThere was a bugreport on the redhat bugzilla and they suggested it was probably a mistake in the way the package was created22:52
=== patr0clus is now known as s3nd1v0g1us

irongeekskrytarik, testing23:25
krytarikYup!23:25
irongeeksThanks!!23:25
krytarikSure. :)23:26
irongeeksDidn't think it was "that" picky23:26
irongeeksUgh23:26
irongeeksI guess consistencies is key23:26
irongeeksEver see this? krytarik23:28
irongeekshttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MzK5wsHJ8R/23:28
irongeeksIt has already been identified...23:28
krytarikI guess that's from before you set up auto-identify properly then.23:29
irongeeksIt's also showing that on #oftc23:30
irongeeksBut all others are good now.23:30
krytarikYes, you aren't logged in on OFTC right now.23:32
irongeeksI did what it asked me to do... I did both register and identify, nothing worked.. I went online to "verify" I got it to pass.. still doesn't on here?23:32
jamie1so hey, im trying to use gcc 8 or eariler for a compile as gcc 8.1+ does not compile nasm successfully. any suggestions?23:33
krytarikirongeeks: Let's continue this in #oftc please.23:34
irongeekskrytarik, OK23:34
