[00:16] so I booted off of a, flash drive. I wanted to backup onto another stress but it won't recognize them. any of them. So I backed up the few files I had onto the windows partition. [00:16] Ben64: ubu18.04 wont boot. Here's the screen pastebin.. i dont understand it. Something about Could not get UEFI db list & *ERROR* failed to blank crtcl https://m.imgur.com/JFgSXyS [00:16] still wondering. [00:31] okay, that did it -- forgot the "none luks" in crypttab [00:34] I need some advice on tracking down and removing some adware which has snuck onto my lubuntu OS [00:34] I'm afraid to use xkill to close it because it randomly vanishes on its own after a few seconds and if I kill the desktop then I need to restart everything [00:35] plus xkill wouldn't prevent it from relaunching next bootup I don't think [00:35] I'm wondering if there is a similar command to xkill but which instead of killing an application, simply helps me identify it on the task manager [00:39] NewToLubuntu, is the adware in your browser? [00:43] Hey, i use x11vnc over my lan however it's kinda slow responding...any way around this? [00:44] I tried to look at the options but didn't find anything interesting, what i tried doesn't change anything. [01:00] I think I've noticed that it pops up even when my browser is minimized [01:00] but that could still be part of the browser [01:00] checked Firefox add-ons and don't see anything listed though [01:03] NewToLubuntu, delete your ~/.mozilla folder and ./config/mozilla/ and restart FF [01:03] but without 'what afdware' information, it is a guess [01:04] -f [01:13] hey, i think my nvidia cards are conflicting [01:13] on one (MSI 1030) i can see my whole display, while on the other (EVGA 1060) i just see a cursor, with a black screen underneath it [01:14] i've apt-get updated and upgraded and there wasn't a nouveau update or anything idk [01:34] hello room, i used this script https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5fbM2CK6Kq/ for checking & starting whether mysql is down or not, when mysql is down i can receive mail, but mysql is not started. The user who runs the cron command have sudo access. Is there anything worng on the script? === Disconsented is now known as BrokenRecord [01:36] Oerheks does deleting mozilla folder mean FF would reinstall it? [01:39] NewToLubuntu, no, you just lose all plugins/malware/data [01:39] this ~/. is just user data [01:40] + hidden [01:50] I just did 'show hidden' in my home folder, not sure where to go from there [01:50] ah it seems ~ will insert home/username [01:50] jups [01:51] /home/$USER/.cache [01:51] /home/$USER/.mozilla [01:52] I deleted ~/.mozilla but there was no mozilla folder in /.config/ [01:52] just deleted /cache/ [01:52] okay so I'll restart and see if it continues to show up. I haven't timed it or anyhting, kinda random [01:53] the effect seems to be if I click it, it brings up a web page that it advertised, if I ignore it, it eventually goes away [01:53] just really annoying [01:53] sorry, not config, but cache [01:53] cache is less important here [01:53] I deleted the ENTIRE cache.. hope that's not a problem [01:54] nope, it will be recreated, when an application starts, it performs a check, like after new install [01:54] linux is awesome in that matter [01:54] yeah I'm erasing all the default stuff again [01:55] but are you sure it showes up when your brower starts? or random? [01:55] it's hard to tell since I usually bring up the browser right away when I come on [01:56] all I know is it will appear if the browser is minimized and cover up the pidgin IRC [01:56] but that could still be browser-originating [01:56] so far so good... but it will take some lurking to be sure [01:56] in the meanwhile... do you know if there is a way to not get pidgin chatrooms to close when I close the buddy list? [01:57] I used to be able to close teh buddy list in windows and it wouldn't shut down the program, but seems to work differently here [02:02] lets see: "Go to Tools > Preferences. In the Interface tab look for "Show system tray icon:" And set it as Always. " [02:26] oh shi, all my bookmarks are gone... [02:27] system tray trick appears to have fixed it, just closed my buddy list and the room didn't close... [02:27] most excellent [02:55] Hi, is it possible to enable luks on a partition and keep the data on it? === capella|away is now known as capella [03:22] Hey guys! So I've got a fresh-ish Xubuntu installation and I'm trying to get Wine working. I followed the instructions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu but on the last step I get the error "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." What do? [03:24] swashdev: looks like everyone is sleeping.. [03:24] swashdev: and no, I have not played with wine [03:24] that's fine. I can wait. [03:24] Mon Nov 19 04:24:52 CET 2018 [03:25] over here [03:25] swashdev, have you tried `sudo apt -f install` (ie. --fix-broken) [03:26] Well, that gives me 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [03:26] hello, where are roots ssh keys stored? [03:26] swashdev, trying pastebinit the output - I'll have a look [03:26] I'd like to copy them to my home directory so I can turn off root ssh access on a new vps [03:27] sorry for english - i've a headache & not realyy with it [03:27] ahh in /root [03:27] okay, looks like I got it [03:28] guiverc: There ya go https://pastebin.com/tanQZUMy [03:28] Also don't worry about bad English--I live with native speakers who can barely string a f***ing sentence together. [03:28] man, it's nice being root and not having to type sudo all the time though [03:31] swashdev, what are you running? cosmic (18.10)? & can you please pastebin for me `apt-cache policy wine-stable winehq-stable` [03:32] (it's asking for a later wine-stable that exists in default repo's - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wine-stable) [03:32] I don't know how to check what version of Ubuntu I'm running actually. [03:33] `lsb_release -a` will tell you [03:33] oh damn, okay [03:33] 18.04.1 LTS [03:35] guiverc and this is the pastebin for that: https://pastebin.com/0rjavuEP [03:45] swashdev can you please pastebin the install (without --install-recommends) - I'm used to seeing a lot more detail that seems to be missing from your output [03:46] guiverc: It actually gives exactly the same output either way. [03:51] yeah i'm confused swashdev; it wants wine-stable 3.0.3~cosmic (a 18.10 package) but apt-cache policy shows that package available.. it could be just the winehq is geared only for 18.10, not your 18.04 but sorry I can't see the issue (unless it's my headache..) [03:52] hmm [03:53] why it's asking for a 18.10 package in 18.04? thats wierd [03:54] the repo you added (winehq) is for cosmic or at least looks that way https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Ubuntu_18.10_standard/ [03:55] swashdev: have you added any repo or ppa for wine? [03:56] if you followed instructions - check it (eg. https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu has your link, but in the 18.10 section) [03:56] Okay, so here's what happened: On my initial attempt for some reason I thought that my Ubuntu had been upgraded to 18.10, so I assumed those were the instructions I had to follow [03:56] now that I know I'm on 18.04 I'm following the instructions for <18.10 [03:57] It's doing _something_, so hopefully it works this time. [03:57] swashdev: ah, that explains it all [03:59] Alright, it looks like it installed. Thanks ZPQ, guiverc. I hope I didn't make your headache worse. [03:59] swashdev: np === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [05:33] An app (Tizonia) doesn't seem to be reading its config file. To narrow down the problem I'd like to see if the file is read at all. What's a good way to detect that? [05:43] Found it: inotifywait -e open /path === jje_ is now known as jje [06:13] you could also try running the program with strace === sins-_w is now known as sins- [06:40] un [06:40] f [06:57] hi guys , I upgraded ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 but I don't know why my control box " minimize , maximize , close moved from left to right how should I do revert it to left? [07:27] I'm using Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS. On my laptop, I'm finding that OpenSSL is out of date at 1.0.2n. Shouldn't "apt" be able to get me to OpenSSL 1.1.1 (which was released in September 2018)? I've already run the "apt update" command. [07:28] Thanks in advance. [07:28] 18.04 has 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1 [07:29] Actually, I'm using 18.04.1 LTS according to the Settings. [07:30] 1.1.0g isn't good enough because it doesn't support TLSv1.3. [07:30] OpenSSL 1.1.1 does. [07:31] Randolf: if the version offered by ubuntu repositories isn't new enough for you...manually compile and install the newest version available on the website [07:34] or upgrade to cosmic [07:36] Randolf, if the 1.1.1 is in the ubuntu repository you can install with apt, if not you can't. [07:37] Randolf, however if it's not in the repo, you can manually build it from source and install [07:37] probably not the best idea with openssl [07:37] lots of things rely on it [07:38] Randolf, currently the newest version of openssl in the repo for 18.04 LTS is "openssl/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.1" [07:39] Randolf, maybe 1.1.0 is good for you? === xtron_ is now known as xtron [08:58] How should I configure dsncrypt proxy on ubuntu 18.04? [09:01] so when I type lsblk... i noticed that it pulls up a lot of "loop" entries [09:01] Are these related to SNAP packs? [09:02] is there a way to list lsblk and exclude "loop" entries from the list? [09:02] JFox762: what are you actually trying to do? [09:02] i just dont like the output of seeing all the loop entries [09:03] Snaps create those extra "loops" in there... I have found that annoying too [09:03] is it possible to exclude that from the output? [09:04] im not sure if there is a flag for it [09:05] A flag? [09:05] JFox762: "lsblk -e 7 ..." [09:07] thanx [09:08] can you explain how that works though? [09:09] i understand -e = exclude [09:09] but 7? === capella is now known as capella|away [09:12] JFox762: the major-number for loop devices. Do "ls -l /dev/loop*" [09:13] JFox762: all system devices have a major number that denotes the underlying driver. They also have a minor number which is unique for each actual device [09:14] so snappacks all use a similar driver? [09:14] or rather the loops do? [09:15] The loops are required to distance the snaps from the system. [09:16] are snappacks similar to a portableapp? [09:16] loopdev is the driver for mounting files as block devices [09:16] loops have nothing at all to do with security [09:17] Loops are created by snaps for security. In the snap sense, they have something to do with security. [09:18] A portableapp is not necessarily containerized. It runs on the regular kernel, so no JFox762 [09:26] lightblue: OpenSSL 1.1.0 does not support TLSv1.3 -- that's what OpenSSL 1.1.1 brings to the table. [09:31] Grrr, system hangs! [09:41] if there is a problem with a users profile being loaded after login which log would be the best to have a look at? [09:44] When you first start XFCE, you're prompted about the panel (default, or custom). Is there a way to force the default? I'm provisioning some machines. === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotus|NUC [09:48] hi! I've got a Ubuntu 12.04 machine in production. It is still posibble to upgrade this to Ubuntu 14.04 or is a reinstall my only option at this point? [09:48] Cybertinus: are you on ESM? [09:48] and rest assured: when this machine is running 14.04 I will be upgrading to 16.04 and 18.04 right away [09:49] lotus|NUC: I don't know what ESM is [09:49] !esm | Cybertinus [09:49] Cybertinus: Canonical offers paid extended security support for 12.04 through the Ubuntu Advantage program. For more information, see https://ubuntu.com/esm . ESM is not an Ubuntu community offering; please direct questions about it to Canonical directly. [09:49] ah [09:49] no, I am not [09:49] Cybertinus: cause 12.04 is end of life [09:49] I know, that's why I've been given the glorious task of upgrading the machine :) [09:49] Cybertinus: in production this is a risk to keep using, would you still trust your machine to upgrade? [09:50] Cybertinus: in your case i would consider a clean install 14.04 or higher [09:51] lotus|NUC: the machine is running internally, it isn't connected to the big bad internet, so yeah, I still trust it [09:52] !ltsupgrade | Cybertinus okay! [09:52] Cybertinus okay!: Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.1 is now available, if you do not receive the upgrade window try update-manager -c [09:52] !eolupgrade | Cybertinus this [09:52] Cybertinus this: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [09:53] Cybertinus: sorry, the last trigger [09:56] lotus|NUC: ok, great. Thank you, this is helpfull [09:59] I just noticed that /var/log/lastlog is over 500GB in size - that's not normal is it? [09:59] that's not normal indeed [10:05] zetheroo: sounds like logrotate isn't doing its job, or you've gone in for extreme logging [10:08] How does Deja-Dup calculate the value of progress bar in GUI? It seems to show quite a low value compared to the amount of data already backed up. [10:14] TJ-: what do you mean by 'extreme logging'? [10:16] zetheroo: debug log_level for example [10:16] oh ok [10:17] I don't think the user of this PC is doing that sorta thing. [10:17] i have a strange problem.. i'm running 18.04 desktop.. and now and then the machine crashes entirely (no signal output).. but this also completely kills the layer-2 networking and my internet connection [10:17] zetheroo: I've had systems fail to boot due to extreme logging from systemd causing timeouts of devices [10:17] if i disconnect the network cable then the network "wakes up again" [10:17] zamba: that suggests an electrical fault [10:22] TJ-: oh? [10:22] TJ-: of the server? [10:23] zamba: if the PC crashes it'd make sense it is the cause [10:24] zamba: and if it takes down the local wired ethernet network that suggests bad electrical things are happening [10:24] zamba: the ethernet port should be isolated through small transformers and capacitors, so something very wrong is happening [10:24] it also takes down the wireless network.. i can see the SSIDs, but i can't connect [10:25] zamba is it a laptop or a stationary? [10:25] BarnabasDK: stationary [10:26] TJ-: seems like the actual size of the file is a lot smaller ... du -h lastlog 48K lastlog [10:26] could be your PSU [10:26] zamba, or overheating perhaps [10:26] oh, nevermind.. the reason why i wasn't able to connect to the wireless was due to missing radius server [10:27] as that is connected through wired connection on the same layer-2 network [10:27] but the internet connection was also brought down [10:27] and that was the other side of the router.. a different layer-2 network [10:27] ah .. ok did you have a power out / brown out [10:28] nope [10:28] its unlikely that all your devices go wonky at once [10:28] the second i disconnected the cable from the stationary, everything unfroze [10:29] can also see the vpn tunnel being brought back up again after taht [10:30] zamba: if the AP is part of the switch/router where the faulty PC is connected, and there is an electrical fault, then losing the AP would be entirely possible [10:30] have to agree with TJ- maybe try a different NIC port on your stationary and in the switch where it goes [10:31] if you have it [10:31] zamba: what is the make/model of the PC that is failing? [10:42] After installing ubuntu 16.04 from an iso here - i have an empty /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. Is this normal? [10:43] Also, after installing the latest LTS ubuntu 18 from here - http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ -> simple curl to https://github.com throws an error [10:44] mahatic, yes and what error do you get with curl [10:44] openssl ssl_connect ssl_error_syscall [10:44] that's the one [10:45] mahatic, the system sources are in /etc/apt/sources.list (the file) [10:47] mahatic, are you on fully updated system when you get that error ? [10:48] Mathisen: yes, I installed the live-server and also the alternate server versions. And both of them throw that error on curl [10:50] BarnabasDK: Correct. I'm asking if there should be anything at all in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" *directory* [10:50] mahatic: i think there was a recent bug on server with sources [10:51] tomreyn: are you awake? [10:51] mahatic: grab some debug logs with "curl -v https://github.com >/dev/null" and show us [10:52] mahatic: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is for additional repositories to be added/removed without having to edit /etc/apt/sources.list [10:52] mahatic: e.g. add-apt-repository puts/removes files there [10:56] TJ-: Ubuntu18 - https://pastebin.com/AeCzZ76g [10:57] TJ-: Ubuntu16 - https://pastebin.com/pFwKab8n [10:58] TJ-: ack on sources.list.d info, Thanks [11:03] I have a program (VariCAD) that can only read QT printers. I am using standard Ubuntu 18.04 with gnome. Is there a way ̈́to use QT printer drivers under gnome. [11:04] qt? [11:04] yes [11:04] as in kde? [11:05] yes [11:05] drivers are DE agnostic [11:06] Younder, printing is done via CUPS / drivers from openprinting [11:07] can you find your model of printer here ? http://www.openprinting.org/printers [11:10] BarnabasDK, Yes the problem I have is it doesn't use the gnome system printing dialog [11:10] so I have to print to file and the print the file form anoter program [11:19] I'm looking for suggestions for a good weather app that can reside in the system tray on 18.10? ubuntu-weather-app and Meteo from the Ubuntu Software, install, but do not run [11:20] Younder, could you try to edit the cupsd file [11:20] mahatic: your problem is a proxy: "proxy02.iind.intel.com:911" [11:21] sudo vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf [11:21] TJ-: but it works alright in ubuntu16. I use proxy there too [11:21] and add the line Printcap /etc/printcap [11:21] then restart cupsd [11:22] sudo systemctl restart cups.service [11:22] then restart your application [11:22] Strykar: ive tested gnome weather, was pretty decent [11:22] I have no way of verifying this [11:23] mahatic: I'd suspect due to the change to openssl 1.1 in 18.04 [11:24] TJ-: hmm, any workaround for it? [11:24] mahatic: try testing it with openssl's s_client, as in "s_client -debug -connect proxy02.iind.intel.com:911" [11:25] mahatic: my guess is the ciphers or hashes offered by the proxy aren't matching what openssl is prepared to use. 16.04 shows it using "SSL connection using TLS1.2 / ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256" [11:33] TJ-: I'm not sure what's broken or how but when I try to install some packages it throws errors - https://pastebin.com/qSCrmiQi [11:33] I tried to use sudo apt-get -f and it doesn't help [11:34] TJ-: another question on ubuntu16. Should 16.04 come with any default gcc installation? Because I don't see any gcc installed [11:35] mahatic, no you have to install that [11:35] use the build-essentials package [11:35] sudo apt install build-essential [11:35] BarnabasDK: ok, thanks [11:35] it will give you gcc and the most common tools around it [11:40] mahatic: I'm not sure what is going on; I don't see any breaking issues between the ciphers supported in openssl in 16.04 and 18.04. Your internal proxy cipher (ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256) is supported in both for TLS v1.2 [11:42] mahatic: ahhh, hang on, that is what github.com is offering, not your internal proxy. So, yes, it looks like your internal proxy is only offering weak ciphers that openssll 1.1 no longer supports [11:46] mahatic: try "openssl s_client -debug -connect proxy02.iind.intel.com" to see [11:49] mahatic: regarding 'gcc' - all the *-desktop packages depend on gcc so it should be installed for 'desktop' - possibly not for -server installs though [12:10] TJ-: it's a lenovo thinkstation [12:10] TJ-: embedded NIC === adikwok1 is now known as adikwok [12:22] Has anyone noticed that the dropbox_2018.11.08_amd64.deb from http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu seems to be broken on xenial? [12:23] I have to revert back to dropbox_2015.10.28_amd64.deb in order for the dropbox menu to re-appear in the menu bar [12:38] lotuspsychje, what version of Ubuntu you on? It has errors on 18.10 - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bDj3ckHx2P/ [12:41] Strykar: im on 18.04.1 [12:44] lotuspsychje, thanks, it's what I was looking for, I'll check github for issues [12:45] Strykar: did you install git version or version from gnome software?

[13:12] snap --help doesn [13:12] `snap --help` doesn't give any obvious answers [13:13] or does snap not enable dependency tracking? [13:15] ah well, just removed everything in snap list [13:21] lol [13:21] ubuntu 18.04 broken packages ? [13:21] gnome : Depends: gnome-core (= 1:3.22+9) [13:22] snaps install their dependences within the snap "container".

Is there a very simple tool which monitors external http(s) services and can be configured over a webinterface? [13:33] Munin is too complicated for that, monit isn't free for more than one server and monitorix seems not to be designed for Ubuntu in mind. [13:34] NTQ, https://my-netdata.io [13:34] NTQ, i know only high classy tools, like zabbix or munin [13:34] if you want master-slave configs, munin is as easy as it gets. what's the issue with munin/ [13:35] It is completely sufficient to test certain web addresses every few minutes. [13:38] I don't want to install slave nodes on every server. It should get a list of web site addresses and send an email if one of them does not answer or runs into a timeout. [13:38] NTQ, use a script - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/84814/health-check-of-web-page-using-curl [13:42] you can use the old Nagios3 package, is still present in bionic [14:05] Strykar: netdata looks very nice although it does more than I need. But I don't quite understand how to install only the data collecting part of it on a public server and connect it to our intranet server without making all statistics know to the public.

[14:42] Strykar: if you are using full-disk encryption, then you just enter one password [14:42] Strykar: well, your disk password and your login password, obviously [14:44] hello, im trying to install mysql on server 18.04 using mysql_secure_installation, but looks like password that I setup doesn't work when I mysql -u root -p [14:45] then you did something wrong. uninstall and reinstall. [14:45] already 3 times [14:45] also tried power off power on xD === capella|away is now known as capella [14:46] then you're fundamentally misunderstanding something. [14:46] I disabled login outside localhost, but don't think this is matter, cuz ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' [14:47] See if the end of step 2 and the step 3 help you destra - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-18-04 [14:49] not sure how can I misunderstood simple script :) maybe it just doesn't work? [14:49] root user probably isn't configured for login via password ^^ [14:50] so why then it asks for: Please set the password for root here. [14:50] xD [14:50] well, gonna check thanks [14:51] lightdm failed to start "start requests repeated too quickly" [14:51] OerHeks: ^^ [14:54] octo8: on a mac you need the iso changed to an img image first. [14:55] maybe i insalled the grup in the wrong place? === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [14:56] octo8: does the mac still boot without usb plugged/ [14:56] ? [14:56] yes [14:56] if the sd card is present or not [14:56] it always shows grup at first [14:57] if i want to continue to mac, i just enter the command "exit" [14:58] octo8: if that only happens when usb stick is pluggged than all is still fine. [14:58] hello [14:59] octo8: to make a live-usb with ubuntu to boot on mac, you have to make a img image first, and then put that img on the usb. [15:00] you put an iso on usb now, which mac does not understand. === e_motion is now known as e_motion_afk [15:03] cannot get lightdm to start, tried with and without amdgpu blacklisted in grub do difference 16.04 kernel 4.15.-38 === NoImNotN1neVolt is now known as NoImNotNineVolt [15:04] with amdgpu blacklisted in grub ai am able to get to low graphics login screen but cannot login, keeps asking for password [15:08] status lightdm.service - PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.sso).... PAM adding faulty moudule: pam_wallet5.so , need some help please [15:10] how do I turn off the advertisements on login [15:13] what is this, MS Windows? [15:13] doing I/O operations completely trashes my X [15:13] what is going on here? [15:13] i have a box with 12 GB RAM [15:13] and SSD [15:14] but the I/O operation i was performing was between two external hard drives [15:14] zamba: and X gets unresponsive or what? Shouldn't happen indeed. [15:14] zamba: are you using gnome or? [15:15] such issues are not uncommon in plasma with the indicator-applet [15:15] adrian_1908: happens a lot.. graphics tear.. switching workspace is a dread [15:16] hateball: i'm using gnome, yes === coconut is now known as coconut_ [15:16] ok, I've no experience with that [15:16] I was thinking if it has a similar applet to show file copy progress and what not [15:18] nacc, thanks for clearing that up [15:20] ioria: you around? have a similar issue to last time with amdgpu, hangs on boot, when i disable amdgpu i get low resolution screen eith login loop, upgraded kernel to enablement stack (i am on 16.04) donr know what else to try [15:24] it seems all kernels from 4.4.0-138 and atleast from 4.15.0-38 have a issue with amdgpu, suffering on multiple machines 16.04 and 18.04 cannot boot to login screen' some boot with amdgpu blacklisted and some dont, this regression is not new there were others that complained here in the last few weeks and booted with older kernel, today the older kernel stopped working for me, any ideas? [15:31] sruli, you termin talks about amdgpu-pro-17.10-429170 for kernel 4.15.0-39 .. maybe you want a newer version amdgpu-pro-18.20-684755 https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-prorad-lin-18-20 [15:31] i was looking for all sorts of comments, untill i checked the driver version itself [15:36] OerHeks: so i should install driver package from amd site? [15:41] that is the pro driver ? [15:41] it is not in our repos [15:42] sruli: have you tried booting with amdgpu.dc=0 or amdgpu.dc=1 ? [15:43] sruli: i'm also a user of the pro driver, but i'm likely using something newer. I'm on Bristol Ridge. [15:43] err amdgpu* [15:44] reading the "known issues" from the AMD driver page doesn't offer confidence: "Unable to log in to the system after driver installation on certain platforms" [15:44] odd. i wonder why. i'm not having any issues. [15:45] hi TJ-: i never installed their drivers before going crazy with this issue, dont know what else to try [15:46] sruli: I've stayed away from both nvidia and AMD GPUs because both seem to generate abnormal amounts of breakage [15:46] ryuo: what driver version do you have? regarding booting with "amdgpu.dc=0" do i put that in the grubfile linux_cmd_line=? [15:47] sruli: whatever came with Ubuntu Bionic and Kernel 4.15 [15:47] TJ-: what card would you suggest for 3 screen setup [15:47] sruli: yes, that's one option. you can also try using it from the grub prompt. [15:48] sruli: if your GPU is new enough, the amdgpu driver may be trying to use the newer DC code. [15:48] it may be causing issues, or you may benefit from enabling it. [15:49] TJ-: breakage with what? KDE? [15:49] ryuo: i purchased this gpu 12-18 month ago, dont think it was a new release at teh time as it was pretty cheap for a 3 screen card [15:50] sruli: oh, it's a desktop. [15:50] ryuo: yes its a desktop [15:50] sruli: either way, .dc may make a difference or not. only can try to find out. [15:51] i had some issues with it disabled so i leave it on now. [15:51] ryuo: the issue now seems to be lightdm wont start... dc=0 did not help tryin =1 now [15:52] Oh, that's what I was having... [15:52] it stopped booting to desktop... but i switched off dc=0 and it worked. [15:53] ryuo: what do you mean you switched of dc=0 you put dc=1? [15:53] amdgpu.dc=0 vs amdgpu.dc=1 [15:53] i was disabling it before, and i removed it after I started having boot hangs. [15:53] no idea why it changed. [15:54] ryuo: both dont work, hangs at "started Light Display Manager" [15:54] I see. [15:55] sruli: An older one! I still have perfectly working Nvidia Nvs420 and 4/6-monitor configs working fine with both nouveau and the legacy nvidia driver [15:55] well, was worth a try. [15:55] sruli: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [15:55] any other ideas before i need to resort it propitiatory crap? [15:55] ryuo: 16.04 [15:55] so, you've been using the 4.4.x kernel? [15:55] sruli: the problem seems to be immaturity and/or churn in the driver code [15:55] TJ-: where can i pick up an older one? [15:56] sruli: ebay :) [15:56] hm. [15:56] ryuo: in;stalled 4.15. before as could not get 4.4 to boot, problem seems to be on both [15:57] I see. [15:57] 18.04 is now here, any reason you can't give it a spin? [15:57] can try booting a livecd if nothing else. [15:58] sruli: this listing has the DP>DVI adapter required for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nvidia-NVS420-with-VGDCI-to-Quad-DVI-Splitter-PCI-E-512-MB-GDDR3-DVI-x4/372476968154 [15:58] ryuo: too much stuff that might break, do not have the time yet to do it (14.04>16.04) was 2 days work to fix my stuff [15:58] Ok. Fair enough. [15:58] The networking stuff did change. [15:58] systemd-resolved is now default, etc. [15:59]
