[00:13] Hi [00:13] I installed kmid and obviously timitidy ++ and the latter works well as a terminal. the problem is kmid that scrolls the text but without audio ... I noticed that playing in the midi outputs (load the screen), I can hear it. But it's not a fixed output! sometimes it works one and sometimes another. How can I solve? http://tinyimg.io/i/tJQzESV.png === neunon_ is now known as neunon [00:20] anyone know why network manager doesn't have a connect-retry option? [00:21] for openvpn === neunon_ is now known as neunon [00:55] is it safe to kill systemd-journald? it's hogging my cpu [01:06] <[itchyjunk]> hey, i formatted a flash drive and now i can't copy anything to it. i get "error while copying to volume. the destination is read only [01:06] <[itchyjunk]> i tried formatting it from `disks` and `gparted` [01:07] dod u yank it out befor stopping it [01:08] <[itchyjunk]> i didn't [01:08] <[itchyjunk]> it was a bootable with lubuntu on it. i only formated it with `disks` [01:08] see if it will format in a difff computer like maybe a windows machine [01:09] <[itchyjunk]> hmm i don't have a windows machine.. i have an older mint machine. would that help? [01:09] may as well try [01:09] see if the port is messed up or something [01:09] [itchyjunk]: probably residual filesystem. iso9660 is common on hybrid images, which is read only. [01:09] [itchyjunk]: best solution? overwrite the flash drive and try setting it up from scratch. [01:10] erase any trace of the old image. [01:10] <[itchyjunk]> hmm i thought `format` in gparted would take care of it [01:10] but try it on a diff machine [01:10] Nope. Most formats are shallow. [01:10] They don't overwrite any more than they have to. [01:11] Sometimes residual data in unused sectors can create strange issues. [01:11] i alway delete all partitions 1st then format twice [01:11] <[itchyjunk]> umm.. weird.. i connected it to my mint machine and tried pasting a file. it worked.. [01:12] now try a diff port on the other machine [01:12] [itchyjunk]: well, if you want to be sure, i'd suggest using dd to overwrite it and then partition/format it as you need. [01:13] [itchyjunk]: if you do this, be sure to set the block size to 8M or so for aligned writes. [01:13] it speeds up writes a great deal on flash media. [01:20] looking at https://quassel-irc.org/faq/cert and man openssl, how do i learn about use of the 'req' command, e.g. what the command option '-x509' does? [01:21] "man req", oddly enough [01:21] -x509 means to generate a self-signed certificate (as opposed to a certificate signing request to send to a CA) [01:22] <[itchyjunk]> trying to write 0's now.. i don't get why the mint can read write while ubuntu 16.04 can't write to the same device [01:23] >_<;; i was thinking i needed to read https://www.feistyduck.com/books/openssl-cookbook/ [01:27] dax: i thought 'man' was for commands, not commands within commands [01:28] dax: that makes me wonder how a self-signed certificate is used to secure a connection ... [01:28] sappheiros: openssl has its own manpage section named "1ssl", so generally doing man subcommand for it will work fine [01:29] sappheiros: i'm guessing this is for IRC connections? [01:29] i.e., client certificate authentication to an IRC network, not for some server / quassel daemon you're connecting to [01:29] and running yourself [01:31] oh, never mind, just looked at the link. if it's for connections to a quassel core, then you'd want to get the fingerprint of the new certificate and compare it to what the quassel client sees when it connects to the core [01:31] dax: i'm trying to learn what the command at https://quassel-irc.org/faq/cert will do before i execute it [01:31] i don't have quassel installed so i don't know exactly how it works, but it should pop up something to the effect of "you're connecting to X that has a self-signed cert with fingerprint Y, do you trust it?" [01:34] <[itchyjunk]> okay, i tried to 0 write it then format it [01:35] <[itchyjunk]> but it still says unable to write to the usb drive [01:35] <[itchyjunk]> what else do i try? [01:36] [itchyjunk]: you sure its not writed-protected or so? [01:37] <[itchyjunk]> it doesn't seem to have a button. i can write to it from a different computer that has linuxmint on it [01:37] <[itchyjunk]> (physical button) [01:38] [itchyjunk]: normally with gparted any device should be able to format, did you try formatting it to its original layout? fat32 for example or ntfs [01:38] <[itchyjunk]> yes i tried formatting it to fat32 and ntfs with gparted [01:38] <[itchyjunk]> it just says successful when i do it [01:39] <[itchyjunk]> i tried deleting it then reformatting to fat32 [01:39] [itchyjunk]: how about rights? are you admin of your system? [01:40] <[itchyjunk]> yes, i have the password for `sudo`. i am logged in as my username but this is no other user accounts on this laptop [01:41] <[itchyjunk]> could it be privlage problem? is there a way to check? [01:41] !chmod | [itchyjunk] [01:41] [itchyjunk]: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:42] [itchyjunk]: another test could be: tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin your usb, to see usefull errors [01:43] <[itchyjunk]> ah right i was thinking about chmod but didn't know if i could do it here [01:43] <[itchyjunk]> i'll try that first [01:46] <[itchyjunk]> i am having trouble chmod'ing my /dev/sdb1 [01:47] <[itchyjunk]> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qW54P5RWqv/ [01:47] <[itchyjunk]> hmm or sdb. [01:52] systemd-journald is hogging my cpu, what do I do? [01:56] My first time trying to print in color under Ubuntu (color works fine from Windows), all my prints are coming out monochrome. Printer is a Samsung CLP-620ND. It had monochrome set as default and I couldn't change it until I added myself to 'lpadmin' group and logged out, but that seems OK now. Still comes out monochrome despite everything saying color. Even the CUPS test page is mono. Where to go from here? [01:56] My brain is completely and utterly fried from doing admin setup and config all day (I normaly just do dev work). What package do I need to install on 18.04 to automagically install security updates? [01:57] Is this it? unattended-upgrades/bionic-updates,now 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.6 all [installed] [01:57] [itchyjunk]: Be aware fat32 file systen is not posix (permissions) complient. Access is set at the mount point . [01:58] merpnderp: yes, that will periodically do that, but it was intended for systems that are always on. [01:58] ryuo: groovy, thanks. My system is always on. Thank you thank you. [01:58] merpnderp: if the system goes offline for any reason, it won't. [01:58] ryuo: course if it is offline, I don't need the security update :P [01:59] merpnderp: i was thinking more like if people put their machines to sleep. [01:59] does that mean that it won't catch-up next time it's online, though? [01:59] myself: the timer that runs it may not reset. I'm not 100%. [01:59] ryuo: oh no, this is on my dev server. I haven't worked up the inertia to set up the prod server [01:59] i just know scheduled tasks don't always work right. [01:59] in that context. [01:59] if the system is asleep, it can't do anything afaik. [01:59] <[itchyjunk]> well i've tried a dozen different things.. maybe my ubuntu is broken or something.. [02:00] [itchyjunk]: same problem? [02:00] <[itchyjunk]> yes [02:00] [itchyjunk]: did you try what I suggested? [02:00] <[itchyjunk]> chmod is giving me `unable to resolve host` error [02:00] hello [02:00] Ok... [02:01] how do I stop systemd-journald from hogging my cpu? [02:01] Copenhagen_Bram: you could try configuring it to disable logging, though you may lose important information. [02:02] ryuo: alright how do i do that? [02:02] if i'm losing important logging i'll turn logging back on and repeat whatever i was doing that needed to be logged [02:02] Copenhagen_Bram: edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf [02:02] but right now i wanna contribute to seti with boinc [02:02] Copenhagen_Bram: Uncomment Storage= and set it to none. [02:02] ok [02:02] that will discard logs. I had to disable it for a read only installation to keep it from flooding my dmesg with errors. [02:03] do i need to reboot or restart a service? [02:03] Not sure. You can reboot to be on the safe side. [02:03] Or you may just need to reboot journald. [02:03] I haven't a clue how it ties together. [02:04] how do I reboot journald? [02:04] systemctl restart systemd-journald.service [02:09] network-manager-openvpn is disappointing - i ended up starting the client from the cli - i don't understand why it doesn't start at bootup even though the config file is in /etc/openvpn [02:09] <[itchyjunk]> i..fixed my sudo issue. :s i had to add a line in my etc/hosts. it had a different name than etc/hostname. idk how that happened [02:10] workarounds get the job down though [02:11] how do i load the SSL certificate when it's in a .config folder that doesn't show up in the open dialog window after clicking 'Load'? [02:12] in quassel [02:12] or more generally, how do i make .folders show up? [02:12] ls -la [02:12] in command line [02:12] In Nautulis it is Ctrl-H ... dunno about 'quassel' (whatever that is) [02:13] IRC client [02:13] for lubuntu 18.10 [02:14] <[itchyjunk]> hmm chmod doesn't fix the issue.. i tried reformatting it to fat32, ext4 and ntfs. none of that worked either [02:14] depends on the filemanager the IRC client is using [02:15] [itchyjunk]: could you hastebin the output of the tail please? [02:16] ryuo: It worked! Journald is hogging slightly less resources now. Now I can support SETI :) [02:16] ... lol [02:17] <[itchyjunk]> lotuspsychje, i am not sure if i ran the command correctly but this is what i got [02:17] <[itchyjunk]> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QGM64dfm69/ [02:18] lets c [02:20] [itchyjunk]: did you unplug, and plugin your device while the tail is running? [02:20] <[itchyjunk]> oh, i didn't. i `mounted` it from `disks` though. let me try that [02:22] <[itchyjunk]> lotuspsychje, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z7CgshyCkG/ [02:22] guys f2fs module isn't included in xenial? [02:22] anonymau5: what kernel version are you using? [02:22] 4.4.0-137 [02:23] ls /lib/modules/4.4.0-137-generic/kernel/fs [02:23] 9p aufs autofs4 binfmt_misc.ko btrfs cachefiles ceph cifs configfs dlm exofs fat fscache isofs lockd nfs nfs_common nfsd overlayfs udf ufs xfs [02:23] <[itchyjunk]> hmm, my last format with gparted did something weird. now i can't move anything to the usb at all. and when i check `permissions` it says `root` and i am not the owner. i tried to chmod 666 /dev/sdb and it doesn't give any error [02:23] [itchyjunk]: could you try create another user, and see if you can bypass those errors in nautilus [02:24] Please see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1086972/how-to-use-ssl-with-quassel-lubuntu-18-10-i386 [02:24] anonymau5: it may not be available in that kernel, but you can install a HWE kernel (4.15, bionic's kernel) if you really need it. [02:24] ok thanks! [02:26] <[itchyjunk]> hm let me restart. it's doing funky stuff [02:33] I am trying to set up a dedicated Quake (Darkplaces) server on Ubuntu [02:34] Can anyone help? I did sudo apt-get install darkplaces-server but it doesn't seem to set itself up, it seems to expect you to read minds about how to use it [02:34] <[itchyjunk]> hmm, after fixing my sudo issue. `chown` and a restart fixed it i think. i am not sure why chown worked and chmod didnt :s but looks like its fixed for now. thanks o/ [02:36] SilenceDogood: sudo service —status-all ? [02:37] anonymauS that is not an ubuntu command apparently [02:38] did you mean "sudo systemctl status" [02:39] that isn't listing any darkplaces-server service [02:42] I guess you'll have to look for documentation [02:44] SilenceDogood: ' sudo systemctl list-unit-files ' To see the list of available services. [02:45] Bashing-om thanks [02:45] The thing about linux is that whatever you think the command is going to be, it never is that [02:46] so i currently have a webserver on port 80. I screwed up and my router is on port 80 so when i put in the nat translation to forward 80 to my webserver i can no longer access the router web interface. Is there a way to redirect traffic back to the router ? or is that just going to cause a loop ? [02:47] Looks like I'm going to have to write a .service file for darkplaces-server [02:47] cstk421: well you can either direct the traffic to your pc or the router, or you can use the LAN ip of your router to access it (probably 192.168.0.1) [02:48] i am trying to get to it via lan [02:48] not working [02:48] its redirecting all traffic to my web server [02:50] can you ssh/telnet into your router? [02:52] no ssh isnt enabled [02:52] i just got back in finally. used winbox and the mac address of the mikrotik. whew [02:52] thanks [02:57] Does this look reasonable? https://gist.github.com/BenMcLean/b424fc9ed77b660b823b8e0ada898c46 === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [03:12] Hey, can help me debug why hibernate doesn't work for me? [03:13] swapon shows: /dev/nvme0n1p6 partition 59.6G 0B -2 [03:13] But "sudo s2disk" shows: s2disk: Could not use the resume device (try swapon -a). Reason: No such device [03:13] (I posted on #linux as well, but so far no one has acknowleged) [03:15] no arguments? [03:15] What do you mean? [03:17] "sudo s2disk" Dont know what its supposed to do [03:20] hi guys [03:21] hi [03:21] Sorry, computer melted down. s2disk is one of the two ways to hibernate, as I understand it. [03:21] ponyhorse: which ubuntu version is this? [03:21] 18.04 [03:22] i need help installing libcurl [03:22] then you shooud be using "systemctl suspend" instead [03:22] let me try... [03:22] cyborgjedi: why do you want / need to? which ubuntu version? [03:22] new version [03:23] this will tell: lsb_release -ds [03:23] ok lets see [03:23] That put into ram not disc. [03:23] *put it [03:24] oops [03:24] I'm looking for a hibernate option that would go to my swap. [03:24] sudo systemctl hibernate [03:24] pm-hibernate doesn't work either. It doesn't resume after boot. [03:24] I can try, but I'm not hopeful... [03:25] in case you run gnome http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/05/add-hibernate-option-ubuntu-18-04/ [03:25] cyborgjedi: i'm here, not in private chat. [03:26] 18.04 [03:26] thats my version [03:26] cyborgjedi: ok. the other question was this: why do you want / need to? [03:26] It didn't resume session. [03:26] i need it for bew to install mpdccnmp [03:27] the media player that has cava [03:27] ponyhorse: is your system fully patched? [03:27] idk [03:27] I don't know what that means. I update and upgrade regularly... [03:28] but i always update and upgrade [03:28] all days [03:28] ponyhorse: does "sudo apt update" report that there are pending updates? [03:28] No. [03:28] let me see [03:29] cyborgjedi: Are you referring to me? [03:30] ponyhorse: there used to be a bug with suspend to ram - where people also discuss issues with hibernation https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1774950 [03:30] Launchpad bug 1774950 in linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) "Suspend fails in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 18.04 but works fine in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 17.10 (and on Kubuntu 18.04 using kernel 4.14.47)" [Medium,Fix released] [03:30] Suspend works fine... [03:30] I think I'm missing something obvious. [03:31] I *think* I connected the swap partition via swapon. [03:31] And I *think* I set up "resume" correctly in grub. [03:31] But who knows... And who knows if I'm missing some step... [03:31] I'm not great at tinkering with the guts of the system... [03:32] What would be a good to debug? Maybe rule out some obvious issues? [03:32] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1034185/ubuntu-18-04-cant-resume-after-hibernate [03:33] this dicusses a lot of details you can check for [03:33] cyborgjedi: have you tried: sudo apt update && sudo apt install libcurl [03:34] Thanks! Off to put the kid to sleep. If you have any more helpful advice I'll look later. [03:34] well you can always check syslog if you havent [03:35] cyborgjedi: searching for "mpdccnmp" on the web returns 0 hits for me. [03:38] cyborgjedi: maybe you were referring to this, but i dont see any mention of curl there: https://github.com/karlstav/cava#ubuntu [03:40] are clones made by clonezilla easy to extract via livecd? [03:40] i'm trying to avoid yanking a hdd out of a laptop that's sodlered shut [03:42] Muimi1: i don't know the exact format, but you'd best tak to them / read their docs. IIRC in one mode of operation they don't do full 1:1 images but whenever they run into known file systems they store just the file system objects, saving sapce. [03:44] Muimi1: there is clonezilla-live though if that's what you were referring to by 'livecd'. [03:44] (and that can both backup / image and restore) [03:45] or maybe you could try this https://serverfault.com/questions/35639/extracting-files-from-clonezilla-images [03:49] also this https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq#43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq [03:52] tomreyn: I'm trying to move a Windows installation to a new hdd without losing its full functionality. [03:53] Muimi1: which part of ths is related to ubuntu? [03:53] *thIs [03:53] Muimi1: i'm using ubuntu to do it [03:54] i was thinking you're using clonezilla to do it? [03:54] i just thought someone could toss me a command because the terminology isn't consistent [03:54] yeah, clonezilla is a program; I'm using ubuntu command-line to go through it. [03:54] I see what you mean, though. [03:55] better use their live cd, you'll know you're creating the backup using a compatible version as when you're restoring [03:55] i'm going to read their docs for a while. [03:55] okay, i'll put usb up [03:56] you could also use just dd or similar form ubuntu, but this won't solve the deficiencies that windows has when it comes to being able to start from a different drive. [03:57] (or on purpose restricutions if you prefer it this way) [03:57] tomreyn: will clonezilla solve them? [03:57] well, I own the license to that version of windows [03:57] i assume so, but i'm sure reading their FAQ will help [03:58] https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/23_Missing_OS.faq#23_Missing_OS.faq [04:12] !backup | Muimi1 see also [04:12] Muimi1 see also: There are many ways to back your system up.

[06:49] Well, for now. [06:49] There were errors in the install media, go figure. [06:51] Miar: what's the id number? [06:52] 13 [06:52] ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] [06:53] Miar, is the touchpad working right now? [06:53] Yup [06:53] so how can you test it? :) [06:53] haha true. Let me suspend for a few seconds and come back. [06:53] k [06:55] how can i get a program to start on startup in ubuntu [06:56] Kalifornia909: create a systemd service for it [06:56] !systemd | Kalifornia909 [06:56] Kalifornia909: systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers For a guide to basic service management with systemd, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units [06:56] youre awesome thanks [06:57] Kalifornia909: If you want a program to start with the login/user session then you can use the Startup Applications tool. [06:58] Kalifornia909: there's a lot of documentation on the freedesktop site [06:58] Kalifornia909: zetheroo is also right, if you want to start a graphical program you need to use startup applications [06:59] ducasse Kalifornia909 I also use Startup Applications for executing commands/scripts at login :) [07:00] yes, login as opposed to boot :) [07:00] correct [07:02] Hey! can an un-priveleged user set FDE on ubuntu 16.04? [07:03] mainnet: pretty sure a regular user with sudo perms can [07:04] mainnet: if the user is not a sudoer then not [07:04] zetheroo, cool. [07:04] mainnet: maybe if you add the user to 'disk' group === Kalifornia909 is now known as Guest85342 [07:05] ducasse, wait! there is a group named 'disk' ? [07:05] zetheroo : I reconnected with my touchpad not working anymore. [07:05] Miar: yep [07:05] mainnet: ^^ [07:05] xinput list does not show my touchpad anymore [07:06] ok [07:08] Miar: sudo modprobe -r i2c_hid && sudo modprobe i2c_hid [07:08] Doesn't work. xinput list doesn't show touchpad either. [07:09] 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' and add 'blacklist i2c_hid' and reboot - suspend and test [07:12] Okay! Thanks. Be back in a bit. fingers crossed. [07:18] .last mooses [07:18] hihihih [07:18] mooses was last seen now [07:35] what creates this file in 16.04? /etc/network/routes [07:38] Hey zetheroo , it didn't work :( my touchpad is still dead [07:38] do you see the touchpad in the output of 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' ? [07:40] No :( [07:40] Ok, so then it's kernel related [07:41] So, is there anything I could do? [07:41] Do you have "blacklist i2c_i801" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf? [07:42] Sorry I disconnected for a moment and I did not get your last message if you replied after me. [07:42] Do you have "blacklist i2c_i801" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf? [07:43] Yes [07:44] ok, comment it out (and remove the previously added line) - save conf - reboot - suspend - test [07:45] Thanks. Be back after testing. [07:45] Ok [07:53] HI everyone. Could i please get some help installing ubuntu 18 on a NUC? [07:59] Hey zetheroo, my laptop didn't even wake up from suspend for some reason :( This hasn't happened before. Could it be because of commenting out that blacklist? [08:01] Not sure if anyone is watching but I am trying to install ubuntu on a NUC. I get a error on boot that says ~oting in blind mode but its cut off so not exactly sure what it says. I managed to try a bunch of times and eventually booted into live USB and install, but when i try and boot now it says 'no suitable video found'. I managed to get into a safe mode prompt by pushing c, but have no idea what to do now. Can any one help? [08:01] Miar: should not be. are you doing a full shutdown when rebooting? [08:02] Miar: check dmesg for things going wrong [08:03] Yes I am doing a full shutdown. [08:03] dmesg error logs are incomprehinsible to me :( But anyway, Ill try testing again with the blacklist commented. [08:03] brb [08:11] Can anyone help? i think i just need to change the default resolution but not sure how at grub console [08:14] UserInterface: it sounds like you've fallen afoul of the default GRUB configuration to have it start in graphics mode. [08:15] i think so,but i get same issue when connected to tv or monitor. Everything i find online says can't find command so i think i'm barking up wrong tree in my google searchs [08:15] UserInterface: if you can use the LiveISO again, started in "Try Ubuntu" mode, you can use the terminal to chroot mount the installed OS and edit its /etc/default/grub, remove the comment from "#GRUB_TERMINAL=console", save, and "update-grub" - that should help by having GRUB run in regular text modes [08:17] tj - thanks. let me see if i can find something online about mounting the os hdd [08:17] UserInterface: I can tell you that too === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [08:19] UserInterface: once you've got a terminal open, use "lsblk" to discover the partitions and file systems, then do something like this: "sudo -i" (you're now root) "mkdir /target; mount /dev/sdaX /target" (sdaX is the partition of the installed root file-system). Then "for n in proc sys run dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do mount --bind /$n /target/$n" - you've now mounted all the kernel file-systems required [08:19] UserInterface: at this point "chroot /target" and you're operating inside the installed OS [08:20] can anyone let me know how to get back an eth0 device from the now enp0s* network devices? [08:20] normally there were these persistent net rules but I don't have them [08:20] thanks!!.. i'm just trying to boot again.. i get that error a bunch of times but eventually it will go back to live usb version and i will try all that [08:20] UserInterface: so you can then do something like "vim /etc/default/grub" - edit the file, save, then "update-grub" - once done "exit" to return to the liveISO environment, then "for n in etc/resolv.conf dev/pts dev run sys proc /; do umount /target/$n; done" [08:20] and I need an eth0 because some strange commercial software needs it for its licensing [08:21] i added a tuntap device for eth0 as well, which worked, but upon the next wifi reconnection i didn't have a connection anymore [08:22] bluesceada: "net.ifnames=0" on kernel cmdline; see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [08:22] this is a notebook so I don't want to go through doing these things manually (anymore), I want to try using network-manager etc. [08:22] TJ-, ok there isn't another option that I can do in my live system now? [08:22] bluesceada: not once it has started, that I know of [08:22] didn't know this comes from the kernel now [08:23] bluesceada: it isn't from the kernel; but the cmdline option is required for udev to see it very early [08:23] bluesceada: see the section in that link "I don't like this, how do I disable this?" [08:24] ok thanks [08:25] i hope all these changes are worth it ... (I also didn't use systemd up to now... switched from debian to ubuntu on the notebook) [08:25] and trying gnome3 as a longterm kde user [08:27] having a fake tuntap eth0 would also be fine btw. (or even better), it just shouldn't interfere with the other network things [08:27] Hey zetheroo, it still doesn't work. [08:28] Miar: well that sucks :P [08:28] haha [08:28] :( [08:30] uncomment "blacklist i2c_i801" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf - save and close. Then add kernel parameter "psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0" to /etc/default/grub, regenerate grub - reboot - suspend - test [08:33] TJ is sdaX the largest partition? [08:33] /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 35: /etc/default/grub: psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0: not found [08:33] When trying to update-grub ^ [08:37] Miar: very peculiar. Are you adding it in the grub file as 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0" ' or how? [08:37] Oh I just added it on its own. Ill add it like you showed. [08:38] okay that worked. [08:38] brb after testing [08:38] sorry, I wasn't clear - OK [08:41] TJ: after the for n.. part it took me to a prompt that was just > and i typed chroot /target and ended up back at that prompt. Was something supposed to happen? [08:47] UserInterface: you got unmatched quotation marks [08:47] i tried 'vib /etc/default/grub' but just stays at that prompt.. also tried 'nano /etc/default/grub' [08:48] oh, whoops. i didn't use the quote marks.. i thought that was just to be clear here.. i'll try again [08:48] UserInterface: probably you copied my examples and include the double-quotation mark? I surround code that should be run as-written in "..." to separate it from my commentary. I could also have made a typo and not closed the quotes :) [08:49] My boo-boo! [08:49] i'll try again with the quotes around both sections :) [08:49] I missed out the closing part. It should read "for n in proc sys run dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do mount --bind /$n /target/$n; done" [08:49] I forgot the "done" to close off the for loop :) [08:52] zetheroo, nope didn't work. [08:52] "mkdir /target; mount /dev/sda2 /target" says no such file or directory [08:52] I did the dirve that was the largest. 465GB of a 500GB drive. assumed that was the one [08:54] Miar: sorry to hear. I am pretty much out of ideas then. :/ [08:54] UserInterface: that is weird; check the new directory exists with "ls -ld /target" [08:55] Is there any place I could report this? I have tried askubuntu, ubuntuforums, reddit. If it is a kernel issue, I could try reporting it to the linux patchers if there is a community forum for that? (there should be) [08:56] Miar: what PC is it? "dmesg | grep 'DMI:' " [08:56] UserInterface: sounds like you're inside the chroot, but haven't bindmounted /dev/ and /proc etc [08:57] that throws back 'drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Oct 25 07:12 /target' and the /target is in blue for some reason [08:57] UserInterface: that is what we expect; blue is for directories [08:58] UserInterface: So, if the root file-system is /dev/sda2, "mount /dev/sda2 /target" should work [08:59] geirha: ahhh, good point [08:59] UserInterface: have you previously done "chroot /target" ? [09:00] Yes, that returns already mounted.. am i supposed to be putting those commands in splitting them on the ;? [09:00] i put it in as one string [09:00] when i put 'mount /dev/sda2 /target' by itself it said already mounted [09:01]
