| Steven_M | Hi, is ubuntu 16.04.3 still supported? | 02:00 |
| hggdh | 16.04 is supported untl 2021 | 02:03 |
| nacc | Steven_M: 16.04.3 itself, which implies a very specific kernel, is not | 02:04 |
| nacc | Steven_M: you should be on 16.04.5 now, and running either a 4.4 or 4.15 kernel, I believe | 02:04 |
| Steven_M | nacc: Understood :-), I just hope I won't have the same nvidia issues that I'm having with 18.10. | 02:13 |

| drmessano | Hello all, have a question about Chromium in Ubuntu. I just got a 2017 Macbook and am planning to dual boot with Ubuntu. In looking through the Chromium builds for OSX and Linux, to find the OSX build I want, I guess I am a little out of touch which channel or channels are the "chromium-browser" in Ubuntu. | 03:46 |
| drmessano | Is chromium-browser the Chromium nightly at some point where someone decided to update the package? | 03:47 |
| drmessano | I haven't paid attention to the various chrome builds in years. Didn't know they had beta, canary, and nightly | 03:47 |
| drmessano | But it looks like the only one the label "Chromium" is the nightly.. | 03:48 |
| OerHeks | 70 is current, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium-browser | 03:49 |
| OerHeks | dunno about Chromium builds for OSX, nor on windows, those version numbers can be confusing | 03:50 |
| drmessano | Yeah, I really want the same level of stability/instability as I guess what i've run in Ubuntu all these years. I'm looking at what's 70 in Win/OSX | 03:52 |
| drmessano | OerHeks: Thanks.. It doesn't look like there's a 1-for-1 Chromium for OSX.. No biggie, i'm still gonna do most of my highly suspicious browsing in Ubuntu anyway | 04:04 |

| katronix | Hi all, having an interesting issue. Under kernel 4.18.0-10-generic, my built in wifi works, however under 4.18.0-12-generic while its recognized under lspci it doesn't do anything. Can anyone suggest what changes I need to make so that I don't have to keep running the older kernel? | 05:23 |
| katronix | here is what lspci -vv says about my wifi: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/76nH4pxgyV/ | 05:25 |

| CrazyH | Ubuntu 16.04> When I log in using my laptop ( connected to an external monitor ), I'm able to select Applications:> SystemTools:> System Settings:> Displays:> Mirror Displays ( check box ):> Apply ( button ). It works fine no problem. The monitor shows exactly what my laptop screen shows. The problem is that every time I reboot, I have to go through the same procedure over and over again. How can I perminantly set it to just ALWAYS m | 05:36 |
| CrazyH | irror the display when an external monitor is present? | 05:36 |
| katronix | Or would there be a better channel to discuss my issue in? (or I suppose a better time :)) | 05:37 |
| CrazyH | katronix, sorry man, I just logged in. What is your problem? | 05:37 |
| katronix | CrazyH, my desktop has a built in wifi. under kernel 4.18.0-10-generic it works out of the box, but when the system upgraded to kernel 4.18.0-12-generic the kernel is still seen by lspci but it doesn't do anything | 05:41 |
| katronix | CrazyH: here is what lspci -vv says about my wifi: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/76nH4pxgyV/ | 05:42 |

| gambl0r3 | is there a way to have a split view when using the terminal? | 05:42 |
| CrazyH | gambl0r3, yes, you can use the screen utility to do ALL kinds of cool terminal control stuff. | 05:43 |
| CrazyH | gambl0r3, you'll have to read up on it, but when it comes to terminals, there isn't much that screen can't do | 05:43 |
| gambl0r3 | got it working. thanks | 05:44 |
| CrazyH | katronix, well, it seems like the kernal is happy with your Wifi hardware. What app are you using to configure the connection and connect. Is it the default Wifi app? | 05:45 |
| katronix | CrazyH, no I was using the default Ubuntu app to configure it | 05:46 |
| katronix | CrazyH, under the newer Kernel it says I have no Wifi hardware :( | 05:46 |
| CrazyH | katronix, yeah, that's what I mean. The default Ubuntu wifi app | 05:46 |
| katronix | CrazyH, then yes I am :) | 05:47 |
| CrazyH | katronix, I have problems with that app ALL the time. It seems to be somewhat buggy. | 05:47 |
| CrazyH | katronix, all I'm saying is, don't assume that it's the hardware. It might just be a simple app issue | 05:48 |
| katronix | CrazyH, any suggestions? staying in an old kernel doesn't seem like the brightest of ideas lol | 05:49 |
| CrazyH | katronix, first of all, check demsg and /var/log/syslog for errors pertaining to your wifi card | 05:50 |
| CrazyH | katronix, if you don't find anything there, given that lsmod seems to also be happy, I would venture to guess that the problem is the app | 05:50 |
| CrazyH | but if you do find a problem in one of those places, then you might have a hardware conf issue which you will need to chace down | 05:51 |
| katronix | hmmmm, my log files only show this run :( | 05:53 |

| Woet | most of my 18.04 servers has the "123 packages can be updated, 123 are security updates" in the motd, but one of them doesn't have any at all. is it overwritten by the "Canonical Livepatch is enabled." one? is it possible to get it back? | 06:23 |

| lapion | so there is no actual usefull replacement for gksu(do) for running applications such as synaptic | 06:36 |

| dreamon | hello. after systemupdates I cannot boot into gui. having a notebook with intel gpu Graphics 620. I can only boot in recovery mode. or settng nomodeset n /etc/default/grub options. what can I do? | 11:58 |
| swensson | Installaing a CMS to my site.. But it want writeaccess to /tmp :O How can I fix this? | 12:20 |
| lotuspsychje | swensson: what kind of service? running ubuntu server? | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | afternoon ioria | 12:34 |
| ioria | lotuspsychje, hi lotus; you too | 12:34 |
| katronix | Hi all, anyone available to help me with a driver issue? My box has a built in wifi and I've found under Kernel 4.18.0-10-generic it works out of the box, but under 4.18.0-12-generic its not seen (though lspci still shows it) | 12:48 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: didnt you share this with us yesterday? | 12:50 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, it was early this morning for me, but fell asleep before it was fixed :( | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: i would advice a new !bug for this, as you can reproduce this issue on a different kernel | 12:52 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, I've only seen it on one kernel, one it works one it doesn't. Would like to fix it so it doesn't happen at all, but yes a bug should probably be submitted for it | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: if you would take your time to create the bug, would be great for the community, and yourself | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 12:54 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: ubuntu-bug linux | 12:54 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, do I do that as a shell command? | 12:54 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: yes from the terminal, you can create the bug like this | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: maybe logged on as your affected kernel | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | (if you can get online over cable) | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: that will transfer you to the launchpad, from there you can add your story | 12:56 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, if I can't get on line with the affected kernel, can I run the command from the affected one but delay uploading it till I'm online? | 12:56 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: then file the bug with a working kernel no problem. just add your story to the bug then, wich kernel affected and wich not | 12:58 |
| katronix | k | 12:58 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: feel free to share the bugs link afterwards to us | 12:58 |
| katronix | k | 12:59 |
| ioria | katronix, is secure boot enabled ? | 13:00 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1807388 | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1807388 in linux (Ubuntu) "Issue with wifi on 4.18.0-12-generic" [Undecided,New] | 13:03 |
| katronix | ioria, I don't believe so | 13:03 |
| epicmetal | Are the apt-src repos generally available for PPAs? I don't trust random binaries and want a more AUR-like experience, where you can audit the debian/rules and then decide to build. | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: thank you for taking your time to file the bug! | 13:04 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, np, is it possible to configure grub to boot into the working version of the system till the bug is fixed? by default it wants to do the newer one which then means no wifi | 13:05 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: its not very reccomended to keep running older kernels for security reasons | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: i would suggest perhaps a higher !mainline kernel? | 13:07 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, yes but linux isn't as much fun offline lol, do you mean build it myself? | 13:07 |
| katronix | or just get a newer one from kernel.org? | 13:07 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: a few ideas for faster bug solve is: test things out yourself, find other users affected | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | !mainline | katronix compile is not needed :p | 13:08 |
| ubottu | katronix compile is not needed :p: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: every time you test something, add it to the bug ok | 13:08 |

| kreyren | Where is ubuntu's kernel saved? I want to invoke `make install` to copy kernel image for ubuntu in /boot. | 13:09 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: also keep in mind, 18.10 is a non-lts version, did you try your wifi on LTS? | 13:09 |
| kreyren | since i can't find it in /usr/src | 13:09 |
| kreyren | ah nwm its in /usr/src im dumb | 13:09 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, no I didn't would that require a complete re-install? | 13:10 |
| ntd | will there be an upgraded policykit today? | 13:11 |
| kreyren | is invoking `make && make modules_install && make install` the correct approach to compile ubuntu's kernel? | 13:11 |
| lotuspsychje | kreyren: we dont reccomend compiling own kernels, use !mainline instead | 13:12 |
| kreyren | mainline meaning? | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | ntd: for package questions, ask in #ubuntu-release | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | !mainline | kreyren existing kernels here ==> | 13:13 |

| === Ayo is now known as Guest71760 | ||
| kreyren | like i'm aware that ubuntu's kernel is full of `y` and `m` so its going to take forever.. but i need it recompiled for script to fix boot in case its corrupted by other distro | 13:13 |
| kreyren | ah i see | 13:13 |
| katronix | lotuspsychje, would you recommend that I do a mainline kernel or switch to LTS more? | 13:14 |
| kreyren | lotuspsychje: and if i wanted to compile it myself can i invoke mensioned commands? | 13:14 |
| blackflow | kreyren: can't treat ubuntu like gentoo. it's unforgiving to tiniest of mistakes. | 13:14 |
| ntd | is there a non-intrusive way to get 18.10 (4.18) kernel on bionic? | 13:14 |
| kreyren | blackflow: i know i'm trying to stabilize it | 13:14 |
| ntd | alternatively the xenial kernel (4.4 | 13:14 |
| blackflow | kreyren: then sure, those steps are linux kernel specific, not ubuntu | 13:15 |
| kreyren | blackflow: but im asking if thats the correct approach for compiling ubuntu's kernel since some distros might change the process | 13:15 |
| lotuspsychje | katronix: test both :p | 13:15 |
| blackflow | kreyren: just be careful, ubuntu has certain ubuntu specific patches (called "SAUCE") so removing them or not using ubuntu source, might render your system unusable. | 13:15 |
| kreyren | i'm aware of it thanks for warning | 13:15 |
| kreyren | but those are present in .config right? | 13:16 |
| blackflow | kreyren: technically, you should be using the src deb, modify and install the package regularly but yeah, for testing purposes, you can run that series of steps | 13:16 |
| ioria | katronix, i don't see the wifi specs in your report | 13:16 |
| blackflow | kreyren: yes, if the source came from ubuntu | 13:16 |
| kreyren | ok thanks for info ;3 | 13:16 |
| kreyren | blackflow: is there any special configuration that is required excluding SAUCE that might brick the system if removed from the kernel? | 13:17 |
| blackflow | kreyren: oh also make sure grub picks up any filename changes, run update-grub afterwards and re-check which kernel is being loaded | 13:17 |
| kreyren | noted | 13:17 |
| blackflow | kreyren: I would not specifically. | 13:17 |
| blackflow | *I would not know | 13:18 |
| kreyren | any place i can ask? I would like to make custom kernel for ubuntu for my usecase | 13:18 |
| katronix | ioria, which command should I run to get the needed info? | 13:18 |
| blackflow | kreyren: maybe #ubuntu-devel but you'll be met with "don't do it". ubuntu users aren't supposed to be power users with that level of detail of customization :) | 13:18 |
| ioria | katronix, lspci -nnk | 13:19 |
| kreyren | noted thanks for info | 13:20 |
| katronix | ioria, updated | 13:20 |
| ioria | hug RTL8822BE | 13:21 |
| blackflow | ioria: kernel CoC "hug"? :) | 13:22 |
| ioria | lol | 13:23 |
| kreyren | yep thats hugged up xD | 13:25 |
| ioria | katronix, mokutil --sb-state what it tells ? | 13:25 |
| viktor | after changing my password, kwallet asks for my password again every time after log in. this is really annoying. how do i fix this? (running kubuntu 18.04) | 13:25 |
| Dragnslcr | Is the transcode package not in 18.10? It got uninstalled when I upgraded from 18.04, and now I don't see it in the repositories. | 13:26 |
| katronix | ioria, on the working kernel it says secureboot enabled | 13:26 |
| kreyren | blackflow: what is the ETA for answer on #ubuntu-devel? dont you know? :X | 13:26 |
| ioria | katronix, so go in bios anddisable it | 13:26 |
| kreyren | or shoudn't i ask on askubuntu ? | 13:26 |
| blackflow | kreyren: sorry, I don't know. most of my advanced questions there were unanswered | 13:27 |
| kreyren | i see o.o | 13:27 |

| MJCD | Hiya I have a new install and I want a script to run for every user I adduser after now | 14:17 |
| MJCD | that runs when they first log in | 14:17 |
| MJCD | so 1) where's the skeleton | 14:18 |
| MJCD | 2) which is the correct script | 14:18 |
| MJCD | to just run when they FIRST log in | 14:18 |
| katronix | lotus|NUC, LTS version didn't work either :( | 14:19 |
| JimBuntu | MJCD, I suppose you could create a script within /etc/profile.d that checks the last time $USER logged in... if never, do your thing. | 14:23 |
| MJCD | JimBuntu, hm that sounds like a good idea | 14:23 |
| MJCD | better idea than having it delete itself | 14:23 |
| MJCD | which id imagine would delete a whole bunch of stuff removing their .bashrc or w/e | 14:24 |
| JimBuntu | There are a fair number of one-off options... such as having the default .bashrc look for the existence of a file in their ~/path/as/you/despire, if not there... run command and create the file in that location upon successful completion. | 14:25 |
| MJCD | simplest solution would be best | 14:25 |
| MJCD | someone else suggested systemd event hooks | 14:26 |
| MJCD | from what I understand systemd is pretty easy to work with | 14:26 |
| geirha | another option is to touch a file somewhere in .config/..., and not run if that file exists | 14:29 |
| geirha | a slight race condition there though, if the user decides to login multiple times at the same time | 14:30 |
| JimBuntu | Yeah, that's what I meant in my second option, although, I wouldn't put it in ~/.config only because sometimes people want to blast that away to start fresh | 14:30 |
| leftyfb | the script should remove whatever mechanism ran itself at the end of the script | 14:32 |
| geirha | that has the same race, but larger | 14:33 |
| Malgorath | Hey all, I'm trying to copy a file to a micro SD card and it keeps only mounting Read Only, I have locked and unlocked the tab on the card but still neither way lets me mount the card RW. I can only mount as RO and I see nothing on the drive. Google for 30 minutes without luck | 14:33 |
| === capella|away is now known as capella | ||
| JimBuntu | Malgorath, a quick thing to check... put tape on the switch area and reinsert. If that doesn't help, maybe some dmesg output pastebin'd in would be good | 14:33 |
| leftyfb | Malgorath: look in dmesg to see if there's I/O or CRC errors from the sd card. It might be bad | 14:34 |
| Malgorath | its brand new but as far as dmesg, its sdb1 and I see no entries but sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 62521344 512-byte logical blocks: (32.0 GB/29.8 GiB) | 14:35 |
| JimBuntu | silly question, but Malgorath, are you sure it's mounted as RO versus you simply not having permission to write to it? mount | grep sdb | 14:37 |
| Malgorath | I am positive JimBuntu I have mounted it with RW as an option and it still craps back to RO | 14:42 |
| JimBuntu | Are you grepping dmesg when you only see that single line? If so, try only typing dmesg | 14:42 |
| JimBuntu | Malgorath, There was no message about an issue when you tried to mount it as RW and it came back as RO ? | 14:43 |
| leftyfb | Malgorath: if it's changing to RO, that will show up in logs and possibly explain why and is more likely due to a bad SD card or filesystem | 14:43 |
| MJCD | hey I completely can't remember | 14:45 |
| MJCD | I have 1 ubuntu system | 14:45 |
| MJCD | and I want like 5 people to remote in at once | 14:45 |
| leftyfb | !enter | MJCD | 14:45 |
| ubottu | MJCD: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. | 14:45 |
| MJCD | apologies - what is the name of the technology i'm after? It's not rdp, it's not vnc as that's single user | 14:47 |
| leftyfb | MJCD: both of those technologies will do what you want, if each person has their own account and you set them up properly | 14:48 |
| leftyfb | MJCD: Why do you need 5 people logging into 1 machine with a GUI? | 14:48 |
| Malgorath | I got it to work finally, had to testdisk the drive then fdisk and rebuild partition then format | 14:48 |
| MJCD | leftyfb, I just want people to have it available. Some people prefer gui's | 14:48 |
| MJCD | and to have all their coding stuff on the dev server | 14:49 |
| leftyfb | MJCD: Do you really have multople developers developing GUI applications on a remote machine? | 14:50 |
| leftyfb | sounds very inefficient and self-defeating to me | 14:51 |
| MJCD | yes, we do, we were using vscode live sharing | 14:51 |
| MJCD | but it's not complete enough for general use | 14:51 |
| MJCD | so I guess realistically all they do is ssh in, and then if they want to, do like, xstart & | 14:54 |
| th34lch3m1st | hi all | 14:54 |
| th34lch3m1st | Is there a list where I can check when a certain software was updated in ubuntu? (I mean, 6 months ago for example...) | 14:57 |
| CrazyH | It looks like the answer to the question that I asked like 12 hours ago is to use xrandr in a start up script to configure the screen and output displays | 14:59 |
| CrazyH | here is my original question: | 14:59 |
| CrazyH | Ubuntu 16.04> When I log in using my laptop ( connected to an external monitor ), I'm able to select Applications:> SystemTools:> System Settings:> Displays:> Mirror Displays ( check box ):> Apply ( button ). It works fine no problem. The monitor shows exactly what my laptop screen shows. The problem is that every time I reboot, I have to go through the same procedure over and over again. How can I perminantly set it to just ALWAYS m | 15:00 |
| CrazyH | irror the display when an external monitor is present? | 15:00 |

| ioria | prof2004, hey | 15:27 |
| prof2004 | can we resume our problem resolution activities | 15:27 |
| prof2004 | ? | 15:27 |
| ioria | prof2004, sure | 15:27 |
| prof2004 | I will provide an upgrade | 15:27 |
| ioria | ok | 15:28 |
| prof2004 | system is running with one asus prime 370 board, 1 intel i7 8700 proc, m2 samsung ssd, and von rx graphics card | 15:29 |
| prof2004 | one | 15:30 |
| ioria | prof2004, but iirc, you are on intelright now | 15:30 |
| prof2004 | yes | 15:30 |
| prof2004 | I am using a laptop to communicate | 15:30 |
| prof2004 | the problem is, that the system stalls during boot process | 15:31 |
| prof2004 | we have had intensively searched for graphics problems 2 days ago | 15:31 |
| prof2004 | with no result | 15:32 |
| ioria | prof2004, yes, and you cannot have a regular boot with the intel integrated | 15:32 |
| prof2004 | to come the problem nearer, I have taken the rx graphics out of the system now | 15:32 |
| ioria | prof2004, yes i remember that, still you cannot boot if not in recovery ? | 15:33 |
| prof2004 | I have prepared a live cd for ubuntu 18.04.1, with a fresh download from ubuntu | 15:33 |
| prof2004 | yes, you are right | 15:33 |
| prof2004 | I have tested the usb stick with ubuntu at my laptop, it is working fine, no disk errors | 15:34 |
| prof2004 | I am able to startup the system with this live system | 15:34 |
| prof2004 | but | 15:34 |

| ioria | prof2004, try this . http://tinypic.com/ | 15:44 |
| lordcirth | Richard_Cavell, I don't think so. I don't think it's in repos. 'apt-file search bgfx' here on bionic finds nothing. | 15:44 |

| prof2004 | there are all acpi errors | 15:48 |
| lordcirth | I don't think any of those are actually problems | 15:49 |
| prof2004 | so, it seams start with this live usb is working, even if the resolution of the biggest monitor is not the best | 15:50 |
| prof2004 | for me it looks like the setup of the system is damaged | 15:53 |
| prof2004 | 2 questions | 15:53 |
| prof2004 | 1) is there any way to "reinstall" ubuntu keeping the current setup working? | 15:54 |
| prof2004 | 2) what can i do to get the max resulution on the biggest monitor, driving the system with 3 monitors based on the intel build in graphics? | 15:55 |
| prof2004 | the monitor in question is big LG Monitor, connected with displayport 1.2 | 15:56 |
| Some_Person | I really do not like how newer versions of Nautilus don't allow dragging the breadcrumbs to other windows. Is there any way to restore this behavior? | 15:57 |
| ioria | prof2004, the point is that you cannot boot (without nomodeset) | 15:57 |
| ioria | prof2004, using a supported intel chipset (core 8th is supported in 4.15 kernel) | 15:58 |
| prof2004 | Do I use an older kernel? | 15:58 |
| prof2004 | It is the latest upgrade level | 15:59 |
| ioria | prof2004, you shoulduse the latest 4.15.0-42-generic | 15:59 |

| prof2004 | I have started with a live CD, yes | 16:17 |
| ps-ax | at the moment | 16:17 |
| prof2004 | that was the way to identify, if the problems are hw based | 16:18 |
| ioria | prof2004, have you tried to reboot the machine with a previous kernel ? | 16:18 |
| prof2004 | yes, I have only one kernel before in access via grub | 16:19 |
| prof2004 | it does not work | 16:19 |
| ps-ax | i just installed Kubuntu, but when i boot usually it doesnt load graphics... i mean... the screen stay in a black screen and its like the GPU doesnt send any signal to the monitor... | 16:19 |
| prof2004 | If you want, I can restart without live CD | 16:19 |
| ps-ax | i have an ATI and i said usually because after many "reboots" it shows the system | 16:20 |
| ioria | prof2004, yes, and try from grub -> advanced option the -39 kernel or what you have | 16:20 |

| prof2004 | now it is stalled again, do not know, if it does something in the background | 16:26 |
| ioria | prof2004, if 29 works and installed 39 not, you might have dome something wrong on your system | 16:27 |
| ioria | *done | 16:27 |
| ioria | prof2004, like installing external video drivers packages | 16:28 |
| prof2004 | thats the reason I asked question 1, how to reinstall the system without loosing all setups | 16:29 |
| prof2004 | I am not remembering, to install another graphics driver, after running 18.04 since long time | 16:30 |
| me-1 | hi... I am looking for a video editing software for Ubuntu | 16:30 |
| ioria | prof2004, you should tell us what you did | 16:30 |
| prof2004 | you know, I was running the rx card, not using the internal graphics | 16:31 |
| ioria | prof2004, you tried the proprietary amdgpu-pro ? | 16:31 |
| prof2004 | I have removed the rx card, after getting in trouble, to identify the problem, assuming, that the build in graphics is easier to handle | 16:31 |
| prof2004 | I have used the amdgpu-pro under 16.04, but it does not work with 18.04 | 16:32 |
| ioria | prof2004, dpkg -l | grep amdgpu | pastebinit | 16:32 |
| prof2004 | ioria, my current status is a stalled system, what shall I do, to be able to enter this command? | 16:34 |
| ioria | prof2004, you know, recovery (or try to open a console) | 16:35 |
| prof2004 | when we talked last time, we have modified the.42 system to start with the intel graphics | 16:35 |
| ioria | prof2004, or simply add 'nomodeset' | 16:35 |
| ioria | prof2004, we did what ? | 16:36 |
| prof2004 | we have modified the grub file with the content from the web, based on your analysis. I can look to the history, if you want to now the address | 16:37 |
| prof2004 | but we can go on with nomodeset | 16:37 |
| prof2004 | what is the file to modify? which kernel shall i use? | 16:37 |
| ioria | prof2004, nope, i remember you changed /e/d/grub, but it has nothing to do with intel | 16:38 |
| prof2004 | ok | 16:38 |
| prof2004 | what revovery version shall i start with resume | 16:38 |
| ioria | prof2004, recovery -> resume done | 16:39 |
| ioria | prof2004, no matter the version | 16:39 |
| prof2004 | yes, but what version .42 or .39 | 16:39 |

| kumul | Is there a program that would install all the required dependencies a program is missing? | 17:20 |
| teward | kumul: is the program you're referencing from the repositories or something you've compiled or installed separately? | 17:21 |
| prof2004 | done | 17:21 |
| kumul | teward, installed separately | 17:22 |
| nacc | kumul: you can use `checkinstall` to wrap installation, which will try and figure out deps | 17:22 |
| nacc | kumul: if you've already installed something, no, there's no magic program that will fix a manual install | 17:22 |
| kumul | nacc, `apt checkinstall`? | 17:23 |
| nacc | kumul: no, checkinstall is a program | 17:23 |
| nacc | kumul: `sudo apt install checkinstall` and then read the manpage | 17:23 |
| kumul | alright, thanks | 17:23 |
| teward | kumul: note you might need to uninstall the application first to use checkinstall, if you've already installed the other program | 17:23 |
| teward | just a thought :p | 17:23 |
| ioria | prof2004, dpkg -l | grep intel | pastebinit | 17:23 |
| kumul | teward, wait why? | 17:24 |
| teward | checkinstall does the installation steps IIRC as well as tries to find deps | 17:24 |
| teward | at least, according to the last time I read the manpage | 17:24 |
| nacc | kumul: that' what i just said "if you've already installed something, no, there's no magic program that will fix a manual install" | 17:24 |
| teward | ^ this | 17:24 |
| teward | kumul: so if you've "already installed the program" checkinstall won't help you | 17:24 |
| nacc | kumul: you use `checkinstall` to wrap `make install` or whatever | 17:25 |
| teward | kumul: there's nothing that can extrapolate the deps *after* it's installed | 17:25 |
| roracle | tgm4883: sorry, nature called lol. i'm trying to switch to Pantheon | 17:25 |
| nacc | I *guess* you could try and build the deb via `checkinstall` and it might emit the deps | 17:25 |
| prof2004 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Qwjq9WhmGQ/ | 17:25 |
| kumul | but isnt this simple? ldd gives you the dependency names already, i havent looked into dpkg, but i imagine it lists the files its going to install to no? | 17:25 |

| ioria | prof2004, dpkg -l | grep amdgpu | pastebinit | 17:26 |

| puff | Good afternoon. My logitech wireless mouse appears to be dying/dead.

| puff | More weirdly... I just unplugged/replugged it and checked dmesg, but dmesg is giving me a timestamp from 3 days ago. | 18:05 |

| JimBuntu | I said to clear your dmesg, then reconnect the dongle, then check your dmesg | 18:07 |
| puff | JimBuntu: aha. | 18:07 |
| puff | So, sudo dmesg -c followed by sudo dmesg -T still shows a timestamp of Dec 4. | 18:07 |

| coconut | Finalight: don't expect trolls too soon here. | 18:08 |

I tried to use command prompt as admin in windows and used "bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi". Now Grub shows up and I am able to boot into both Operating systems. But now grub looks like this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SDNzzk7xKj/ . Can I | 18:41 |
| Kali_Yuga | just use grub-customizer now to remove those entries? | 18:42 |
| ioria | prof2004, not relevant for your issue,but you can comment the line 49 | 18:42 |
| ioria | prof2004, remove xinetd if you don't need it | 18:44 |
| prof2004 | you mean from sources.list | 18:45 |
| prof2004 | ? | 18:45 |
| ioria | prof2004, xinetd it's a pkg | 18:46 |
| fmulti | I have given an Ubuntu 16.04 laptop to users who are complaining that applications/windows/terminal/etc are disappearing within a set amount of time (approx 5-10 mins, they did not time it) of inactivity... I am at a loss and have not witnessed this myself, but what could be causing this? They said it does not KILL an application, but when they try to open a new one, it wont let them as it is already running (verified via ps) | 18:47 |

| jvasallo | Hey all, I have a question around some recent changes around unattended-upgrades. Basically when I craft new base images for our infrastructure, I tend to get unlucky with unattended-upgrades running at the same time as my setup scripts. Typically this was checked with a simple: `while pgrep unattended; do sleep 10; done;` and this worked great up until past two days. I've noticed this same behavior as in this post: https://askubuntu | 19:07 |
| jvasallo | Noticed this same mention in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1803137 | 19:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1803137 in unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu Cosmic) "Unattended-upgrades may keep running after unmounting local filesystems in InstallOnShutdown mode" [Undecided,Fix released] | 19:07 |
| stinkleg | crised: it depends.. if you don't need anything special from 18.04, then I'd go with 18.1 | 19:08 |
| Some_Person | Is there any way to configure the newer Nautilus in 18.04 to type to select an item in the current view instead of search? | 19:08 |
| Some_Person | This is bugging the heck out of me | 19:08 |
| crised | thanks | 19:08 |
| jvasallo | Basically, I am seeing this python3 process running in the background and as a result my "fix" to check for unattended upgrades is no longer valid. I want to know if this process running is expected or something wrong with the way im curating images. | 19:08 |
| jvasallo | The process is: "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown --wait-for-signal" | 19:09 |
| Some_Person | The problem with type-to-search like they've done now is that it's slow, and unnecessary when I'm already in the right directory | 19:10 |
| Some_Person | So now, I can't just type "osprey-api-sjt" and hit enter to navigate to that folder... the search mechanism is so slow that doing that dumps me in "osprey-api" instead unless I sit there and wait | 19:11 |
| TJ- | jvasallo: disable the u-u service whilst your scripts are busy. As in "systemctl mask unattended-upgrades.service; systemctl stop unattended-upgrades.service" then re-enable after "systemctl unmask unattended-upgrades.service; systemctl start unattended-upgrades.service" | 19:12 |

| prof2004 | back again | 19:12 |
| prof2004 | normal reboot failed, control alt F2 did not work | 19:13 |
| prof2004 | I have startet in recovery mode with resume | 19:13 |
| ioria | prof2004, we need the specific error you got at boot | 19:13 |
| prof2004 | this was very fast without problems | 19:13 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: That is a much more elegant solution. So basically disable unattended before I "bootstrap" my images, then at the end enable it back | 19:13 |
| TJ- | jvasallo: you can also use "while systemctl is-active --quiet unattended-upgrades.service; do sleep 1; done" to wait for the service to be inactive | 19:14 |
| prof2004 | the message was still the same, waiting for the boot process | 19:14 |
| ioria | prof2004, 'the specific error' | 19:14 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: the issue is it never it never seems to go inactive :( | 19:14 |
| stinkleg | Some_Person: I think this change is permanent, reading from this page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/967022/how-do-i-disable-search-as-you-type-text-in-ubuntu-17-10-and-later/982209 | 19:15 |
| TJ- | jvasallo: I'd suggest using the test /after/ stopping the service, to be sure you don't kick off prematurely :) | 19:15 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: Running with your idea :) Thanks | 19:15 |
| prof2004 | shall I start again and write down the latest line? | 19:16 |
| ioria | prof2004, sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target and reboot | 19:16 |
| Some_Person | I might need to find a new file manager, and figure out how to get ubuntu to pretend that nautilus doesn't exist | 19:16 |
| stinkleg | Some_Person: wait a sec, I might have missed something here | 19:17 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: last question, so it is expected to see: "/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown --wait-for-signal" basically running all the time right? | 19:17 |
| stinkleg | Some_Person: you might be able to fix this using this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nautilus-typeahead | 19:17 |
| Some_Person | stinkleg: Yeah, but that's a pretty dumb solution... switch to an unsupported package managed by somebody random just to fix extremely dumb behavior that apparently can't be turned off | 19:18 |
| prof2004 | hi, I am no back from my laptop | 19:19 |

| ioria | prof2004, ok, reboot so we have a console working | 19:24 |
| diverdude | Alb0t: i have 128G memory and i am thinking to just make a 30G swap area for starters....and i can then always change that later | 19:24 |
| arndff | Anyone? | 19:24 |
| prof2004 | done | 19:25 |
| Some_Person | My god, reading reports for this on GNOME's bug tracker... it's amazing how much the developers are not listening to the users | 19:25 |

| qwebirc57828 | I have a enermax EB311SC hard drive station, plugged on an lenovo X230, but I can't get USB 3 super speed working. Any idea ? | 19:26 |
| Alb0t | diverdude: does it partition a disk for swap? I'm not sure. If it does, that'll be the most annoying part - you may have to boot into a live image and resize partitions if you want to increase it. Decreasing it should be as simple as swapoff'ing the swap, resizing the partition and growing the fs. 30G is a lot of swap though. If you are using 30G of swap you probably need more RAM. | 19:26 |
| prof2004 | thats a lot of lines, and I am now chatting on a laptop | 19:27 |
| ioria | prof2004, lspci -nnk | pastebinit | 19:27 |
| ioria | prof2004, and you can chat from console with weechat | 19:27 |
| prof2004 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BDTNY3Yq2V/ | 19:28 |
| TJ- | jvasallo: Ahhh, that means that a u-u ran and needs to do some 'stuff' at shutdown time. see "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" for options you can change to affect that | 19:28 |
| ioria | prof2004, ok, sudo apt install lightdm and set it as default when it asks for it | 19:29 |
| Alb0t | diverdude: alternatively, if you want to add more swap, you could use a swapfile which would make things easier. But the short answer to your question is definitely yes. | 19:29 |
| diverdude | Alb0t: >>Decreasing it should be as simple as swapoff'ing the swap, resizing the partition and growing the fs. << What is swapoff'ing ? | 19:29 |
| TJ- | jvasallo: but as far as I can tell here from /lib/system/system/unattended-upgrades.services, that is the process controlled and so should be stopped if the service is stopped | 19:30 |
| prof2004 | lightdm was already installed in the newest version | 19:30 |
| Alb0t | diverdude: command: `swapoff -a` will move the swap into memory. Then the swap partition/file should no longer be in use and you can change it. | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: running the 'swapoff' command. Do you really need 30GB of SWAP? | 19:30 |
| ioria | prof2004, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 19:30 |
| Alb0t | tgm4883: I eat 5TB of swap for breakfast. | 19:31 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: i just heard a rule of thumb saying 50% of memory....and i thought 64G was a bit much so i landed on 30G | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | Alb0t: sounds like you have a misconfiguration then | 19:31 |
| Alb0t | haha, kidding. i dont swap. swap is bad for my health :) | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: it really depends on your use case | 19:31 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: but i can always decrease it i guess | 19:31 |
| prof2004 | i am now in a dialog, management system gdm3 or lightdm? | 19:32 |
| ioria | prof2004, lightdm | 19:32 |
| prof2004 | done | 19:32 |
| prof2004 | back to prompt | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: for example, I don't think I've ever heard of 50% of memory being the rule of thumb. The rule of thumb for desktops is 1.5X memory (up to a point). But this isn't a desktop | 19:32 |
| ioria | prof2004, reboot | 19:32 |
| Alb0t | diverdude: 50% of memory may be a rule of thumb.. some of these 'rule of thumb' sizing exercises stop making sense at a certain scale... If I have a 1TB RAM in my machine no way in hell am I going to setup 500GB of swap. I'll probably set 10GB because our app doesn't like swap. | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: so it really depends on what you're running here, but 30GB of SWAP would generally be a bad idea IMO | 19:33 |
| Alb0t | ^^ ditto | 19:33 |
| diverdude | ok i see | 19:33 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: so what exactly are you running here | 19:33 |
| diverdude | yeah, i guess a waste of good HDD space | 19:33 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: data science | 19:34 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: machine learning, AI, data analysis etc | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: do you understand what SWAP is used for? | 19:34 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: yes | 19:34 |
| prof2004 | ioria, the red points are running... | 19:34 |

| ioria | prof2004, you're booting in text mode, there are not red dots | 19:36 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: Since you aren't moving swap to a separate drive, a swap file seems to be a better solution here (it's the default now in ubuntu too) | 19:36 |
| prof2004 | I am in a console | 19:38 |

| TRPM8 | tgm4883: just something to have a look at, not saying it is correct or not. | 19:41 |
| Alb0t | diverdude: if tgm4883 is correct and you get a swapfile by default then it should be very easy to change as needed. Check out the swapfile section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | TRPM8: it's not wrong, it just sets up "swap is not emergency memory" and then basically explains in other words that it's used in what someone would consider an emergency (high memory contention) | 19:43 |
| prof2004 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/F6K92Qpd82/ | 19:43 |
| tgm4883 | Alb0t: diverdude it's been a SWAP file by default for about 18 months https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes#Swap | 19:45 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: Correct, when I stop the process I noticed it stopped, which is great. Your stop and start of the u-u service is working fantastic...plus I got rid of these dirty sleeps so you also helped cut down some seconds :D | 19:45 |
| diverdude | tgm4883: ok so i dont even need a swap partition? | 19:45 |
| jvasallo | TJ-: the other issue is that im using Packer/Ansible to curate base images so the image process never really "shutsdown" so I can imagine something going awry. Regardless thanks for your help. I paid it forward by writing it to another issue on the askubuntu. :) | 19:46 |
| tgm4883 | diverdude: if you are using a swap file, then that is correct | 19:46 |
| tgm4883 | !swap | diverdude | 19:46 |
| ubottu | diverdude: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 19:46 |

| mutante | phox_: have you tried turning it off and on again? like, the button to click and/or hardware switch on laptop | 20:19 |
| phox_ | mutante, were you replyin to me? :) i think it is a Realtek 8723DE | 20:19 |
| mutante | or restarting network-manager or all these things | 20:19 |
| phox_ | mutante, i have done sudo reboot but no, now the hardware button. does it make a difference? | 20:20 |
| mutante | phox_: yea, but that was just semi-serious because the "rtl" modules used to be known as flakier | 20:20 |
| mutante | phox_: well, just try one by one and see if it comes back at all | 20:21 |
| phox_ | mutante, oh it's flaky alright. ill try the hardware button reset, brb.. | 20:21 |
| mutante | if they all fail, reboot.. i guess | 20:21 |

| TJ- | ioria: if I recall correctly, you first have to add the modeline to the output, then can select it (if the hardware/display will support it) | 20:42 |
| ioria | yeah yeah | 20:42 |
| prof2004 | this was written in a file and saved under /etc/x11/Xsession.d | 20:42 |
| prof2004 | file was named 45x11-custom_xrandr-settings | 20:43 |
| prof2004 | I will check, if the file is not there... | 20:43 |
| prof2004 | It is still there | 20:45 |
| diverdude | Hi, I have added this line to fstab: UUID=b01def9a-11a7-466b-8732-2d305b34a49c /mnt/hotstorage ext4 defaults 0 2 <--- it mounts the drive as expected, but i get permission denied when i try to create any files there or directories. What am I missing? | 20:45 |
| prof2004 | you can see in the last output provided, that hdmi-3 aht this resolution | 20:45 |
| Mesp | Yeah i tried a bunch of stuff and no luck | 20:45 |
| prof2004 | but the monitor assigned, is not able to do that, or it is the no 3 | 20:46 |
| prof2004 | I think, this entry is wrongly assigned | 20:46 |
| kumul | is there a ubuntu repository with all packages? | 20:48 |
| prof2004 | or better not assigned, because there is no DisplayPort-0 | 20:48 |
| kumul | debian has a bittorrent that has all of its packages | 20:49 |
| prof2004 | Only DP-1, and HDMI-1 to 3 | 20:49 |
| TJ- | kumul: the Ubuntu archive contains all Ubuntu packages; what are you actually wanting? | 20:49 |
| kumul | TJ-, I need to run a dpkg -S for all packages | 20:51 |
| coconut | kumul: for fixing dependencies (your earlier post here), you might want to look at https://www.howtogeek.com/106526/how-to-resolve-dependencies-while-compiling-software-on-ubuntu/ | 20:51 |
| kumul | I'm not compiling anything, though the software has already been compiled | 20:52 |
| prof2004 | ioria, still there? | 20:52 |
| TJ- | kumul: that only lists the packages known to the local PC, not everything in the archives :) | 20:52 |
| ioria | prof2004, i'am leaving, sy,but i cannot help in that | 20:52 |
| prof2004 | is there any problem, if I try to reinstall the rx card? | 20:53 |
| ioria | prof2004, it's a desktop rigth ? | 20:53 |
| prof2004 | yes | 20:53 |
| ioria | prof2004, plug the card, reboot , wait,and see | 20:53 |
| prof2004 | ok, I will try and come back to you | 20:54 |
| ioria | prof2004, i'am leaving, sy | 20:54 |
| prof2004 | many thanks for your support, you my hero :-) | 20:54 |
| ioria | prof2004, no proble,good luck | 20:54 |
| prof2004 | cu | 20:54 |
| fcastillo | lapion: I'm not sure what you mean, are you talking about the .deb installer it downloads when installing something? If that's the case, then apt does not delete them right after installing | 21:03 |
| === mkv is now known as m4v | ||
| kumul | TJ-, nacc was like "its impossible" well dpkg -S with some server containing all packages installed would work. not even installed, could probably build an index with that | 21:18 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: out of curiosity, what are you going to do once you have run dpkg -S for every package? | 21:22 |
| kumul | tgm4883, nothing. i just wanted to see if it was possible | 21:24 |
| TJ- | kumul: I'd prefer 'apt list' over dmesg | 21:24 |
| hggdh | one can use apt-file to search the repository | 21:25 |
| hggdh | er, repositories | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: sorry it doesn't make much sense to me, are you sure you want -S? | 21:26 |
| TJ- | apt-file is limited the same as the local tools by the apt sources.list | 21:26 |
| gst568923 | hi guys I should install Legrand UPSMAN for Linux, I have extracted upscomm_1.28.tar.gz but when I run sudo ./install ,terminal show me "sudo: unable to execute ./install: No such file or directory" | 21:27 |
| gst568923 | Fileinfo of "./install" is: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, stripped | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: if i'm reading this correctly, you just want to search every package (both installed and not installed) in a repository for a file that matches some string? | 21:29 |
| kumul | tgm4883, yes | 21:29 |
| kumul | a filepath | 21:29 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: why dpkg? Why not use existing resources to do this? | 21:30 |
| gst568923 | the link of file is : https://ups.legrand.com/media/software/upscomm_linux.zip | 21:30 |
| kumul | tgm4883, i will use anything, it doesnt really matter | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: honestly, this sounds like an xy issue | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | !xy | kumul | 21:30 |
| ubottu | kumul: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: use https://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: there's a handy search on that page that let's you search for packages containing strings | 21:31 |
| kumul | tgm4883, do you have a CLI interface for it? | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: I do not | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: this is why you should state what you're trying to do from the start (maybe I didn't read far enough back log) | 21:34 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: so to hopefully answer your question, which I'm assuming is "How can I search for a package that contains a file, from the command line, for packages that aren't installed", you can install the package "apt-file" | 21:37 |
| kumul | tgm4883, I'm trying to find a dependency for a game i've installed, using ldd i found the lib but now i need to know what actually installs the lib | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | kumul: so there's really no requirement for it to be from the command line... | 21:38 |
| coconut | kumul: have you tried reading the url i just gave you? | 21:39 |
| kumul | there is because i want to automate every missing dependency | 21:39 |
| kumul | yes, the url work | 21:39 |
| coconut | try it | 21:40 |
| kumul | worked*, maybe i can do something with wget and parsing. thanks tgm4883 | 21:40 |
| strixdio | I plug in my iPhone and there are two things that show up in the file explorer: "Documents on iPhone" and "iPhone". The iPhone directory is empty, if I click on the other, it tells me "unable to access documents on iphone" "unhandled lockdown error (-2)" any thoughts? | 21:49 |

| Mesp | Something is definitely up with my firmware, lsusb doesn't show my ports, mouse not working but the ethernet-to-usb lights are workig but ethernet is not | 22:13 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 22:14 |
| ducasse | strangerr: ~/.xsessionrc | 22:14 |
| Mesp | Ubuntu 18.04 | 22:14 |
| Mesp | I have been using it for a few months and everything was fine then suddenly this happened a few hours ago.\ | 22:14 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: try booting a live cd/usb and see if it works then | 22:14 |
| SimonNL | strangerr: search for daemonizing a command is there any help for you in there | 22:14 |
| Mesp | It does not, it doesn't recognise USBs | 22:15 |
| Mesp | Like all ports are not recognising stuff | 22:15 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: then it's a hardware issue | 22:15 |
| === diverdude is now known as Guest9507 | ||
| Mesp | Thing is the ethernet to usb has three lights on it and they are all working meaning the ethernet is working but it actually isn't | 22:16 |
| Mesp | I will see if I can send itt | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Mesp: have you done a full, complete, capacitor-draining power off? | 22:16 |
| Mesp | I have not, only reboots and shutdowns | 22:16 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: the lights only means you're getting 5V from the port. That doesn't mean it's working | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Mesp: also, if that doesn't work, try a firmware setup-time factory default settings reload | 22:17 |
| Mesp | So should I just let it on for the battery to drain for now? | 22:17 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: if it's a laptop, unplug the power, remove the battery and press the power button for a moment | 22:18 |
| Mesp | It is an Acer Swift 3 so I don't think the battery can be removed | 22:18 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: if you cannot remove the battery, there's no easy way that I know of to completely discharge the battery | 22:18 |
| Mesp | I have to do something in a bit so I will just let it drain I guess | 22:19 |
| leftyfb | the computer will power down before the battery is completely drained | 22:19 |
| Mesp | ah alright | 22:19 |
| Mesp | I think the USB module isn't loading in | 22:20 |
| Mesp | I had a Failed to connect to lvmetad followed by volume group ubuntu-vg not found | 22:20 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: if it worked on a fresh install of 18.04 and you booted a live usb/cd, then more likely it's loading everything it needs and it's a hardware issue | 22:21 |
| Mesp | No I had the 18.04 for a few months now, no fresh installs or live usbs. | 22:21 |
| leftyfb | lvme/volume groups are related to storage, not usb | 22:21 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: you installed 18.04 fresh at one point right? | 22:21 |
| Mesp | Also dmesg --level=err gives me this: | 22:22 |
| Mesp | [ 20.562695] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: can't setup: -110 [ 20.562974] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: init 0000:00:14.0 fail, -110 [ 20.630217] Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e [ 33.071378] dell_smbios: Unable to run on non-Dell system | 22:22 |
| Mesp | Yes, when I first got it. | 22:22 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: and usb's worked then? | 22:22 |
| Mesp | Yes. | 22:22 |
| Mesp | They stopped working a few hours ago | 22:22 |
| leftyfb | Mesp: ok, booting a live usb/cd is basically the same thing as when you installed it fresh | 22:22 |
| Mesp | Like last night everything was fine and I didn't even move it or anything and next day it just didn't work | 22:23 |
| ntd | TJ-, just booted bionic with debian kernel 4.18.20 and /sys/bus/iio is there and sensors are working | 22:23 |
| ntd | so def kernel, not userspace. mind telling nacc? | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | leave it running till the batter dies. Power it back on and go into the BIOS. Leave it in the BIOS till it dies again. Then try powering it back on. Keep repeating till you can't turn it back on anymore. Then plug it in and try booting and check your usb ports. Start with something simple like a keyboard | 22:25 |
| Mesp | Alright | 22:25 |
| Mesp | I will try to do that I guess, thankfully it's at the end of the semester | 22:25 |
| TJ- | Mesp: spilled liquids? someone stuck something into the vents or ports as a 'joke' maybe? | 22:26 |
| Mesp | Nope, no liquids near my laptop and it's in my locked room all the time so nobody can get in. | 22:26 |

| leftyfb | ntd: not sure that would be the case if he booted a live usb | 22:27 |
| ntd | so this goes back to friggin 4.15.0-20? that has been a while. how on earth am I (yet again) the first to notice stuff like this? support for an entire bus class just *poof*? | 22:27 |
| leftyfb | since it's still the same kernel | 22:27 |
| leftyfb | ntd: oh, sorry, wrong problem | 22:27 |
| Mesp | lsusb is empty also so I have no idea what's going on | 22:28 |
| Mesp | I had one time an error screen saying PCIe Bus Error severity=Corrected and it was spammed | 22:29 |
| Mesp | But it never reappeared | 22:29 |
| ntd | this and the amdgpu-pro situation have me worried about just how few people actually use linux and ubuntu for other than blogging | 22:30 |
| Mesp | I don't know what to say, I will let it drain and I might contact Acer or something | 22:35 |
