[02:43] my amdgpu drivers keeps freezing my system [02:43] ubuntu 18.04 [02:43] any ideas? [02:43] I'm using oibaf ppa [02:44] hello [02:50] leftyfb: I have a multiboot usb with 17.04 which I used to install 17.04. I saved an 18.04 torrent iso on a second usb. I have no idea how to install the 18.04 in place of 17.04. Is there a YouTube which would help with the upgrade install? [02:51] math4u22: follow the same instructions you used to create the multiboot usb [03:07] leftyfb: I purchased the multboot usb with several versions of ubuntu. When I look in the ubuntu 17.04 directory there are 10 sub directories one which is named “isolinux” when I open this directory there are about 90 files, but no iso file. [03:07] math4u22: you don't stick iso's on a usb flash drive to get them to boot [03:08] math4u22: why do you need multiple versions of ubuntu? [03:09] I picked the most recent version of ubuntu 17,04 64 bit [03:10] math4u22: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [03:10] ok i'll check it out, thank you [03:11] Here's a 10yo from youtube showing you how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIhYitXwJfE .. found on google by searching "install ubuntu onto usb" [03:17] For creating bootable USB drives with linux from within Windows, I can recommend LinuxLive USB Creator [03:49] Is it possible to install Ubuntu with secure boot on? I have a new Thinkpad X1CG6 and it will not boot the USB I created using "Startup disk creator". [03:51] alephnull: why do you need secure boot? [03:55] Hi [03:56] leftyfb, Because it is usually on by default and if there is a problem, I'd like to file a bug and fix it. [03:56] My ubuntu keeps logging off [03:56] alephnull: just disable it [03:56] I dont know why [03:56] And you then you get that screen where you have to enter pwd [03:56] To login again [03:56] *sigh* [03:57] Please help me someone why is this happening [03:57] :/ [03:58] It logs out automatically [03:58] Within minutes of me logging back in [03:58] Blankspace: what version of ubuntu? [03:58] 16.04 [03:59] alephnull: the answer is, yes, it's possible [04:02] What do i do [04:07] leftyfb, thx === imsurit_ofc1 is now known as imsurit_ofc [04:15] Anyone? [04:16] Blankspace, your DEsktop is Unity (ie. standard Ubuntu, not Ubuntu-GNOME)? [04:17] How to know that? [04:19] Blankspace, it was just a thought - the only time I've been logged out for no good reason was with gnome (added extensions causing crash; logout occurs)... The fix is to remove extensions & it should resolve, then slowly add them back until you know which causes issue .. (my thinking, but it likely won't help you.. it's a gnome thing) [04:20] Last night it was working fine [04:20] I dont know what happened [04:20] I didnt install anything [04:20] No addons [04:20] Or extensions [04:21] Blankspace, you could login to terminal , and next time it logs you out, look at logs to look for clues, ie. `dmesg` (you'll possibly see error messages as that will point to cause.. it could be memory, disk failing or hardware issue .. etc - could be software too, but currently you have no clues [04:22] Like if i login to guest account it doesnt logs me out [04:22] the altnerative is just next time it occurs, don't re-login to gui, switch to terminal & `dmesg >dmesg_crash_2018-12-09` etc. then you can view, find line & get help here etc - info to chase down your issue [04:23] Can i login to guest user and type dmesg in terminal [04:24] I dont know how to switch to terminal [04:26] What is tpm error [04:26] my suggestion was to switch to [text] terminal, ie. ctrl+alt+f4 and look there (ctrl+alt+f7 should return you to gui), it's just easier (in my opinion) to view logs/info without affecting data you're trying to view (gui hides the info such as error that causes your logout, text terminal won't be logged out until shutdown) [04:31] It doesnt show anything [04:32] When i type dmesg dmesg_crash_2018-12-09 [04:35] it was `dmesg >filename` (where the filename was an example that I'd likely use, ie. date & clue as to what it was) .. it contains the dmesg output so you can scan it... a log since boot, it would be best to look there just after crash/logout, as easier to find useful clues .. if nothign there, i'd `sudo journalctl` & look there .. ie. looking thru logs looking for clues; but should be easier to find clues if event you're looking for [04:35] just occurred [04:36] it was a suggestion only - what I could think of Blankspace [04:39] Guiverc thank you for helping. I am trying to reboot [04:39] It stopped logging out for a while [04:40] I'll check once again by rebooting if it logs me out again [04:44] It got resolved by itself. It seems. [04:55] !ping [04:55] pong! [05:38] How do I restore the boot manager? Some stupid windows update did something to it, and now my computer boots into Windows 10 by default. I'm on Ubuntu right now. [05:39] It used to boot into grub and let me select between ubuntu and windows, I found a workaround which was to manually select it from BIOS every time I boot, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution [05:42] hey, anyone here know of an up to date Rails install doc for Ubuntu? [05:43] I keep having my install break for varying reasons. I'd like to use RVM to install it all [05:47] redwheelbarrow: not able to help you but just wanted to say great username [05:49] Hi all. I'm using 18.04 on an asus laptop. I've got a funny sound issue. System sounds work work fine. But I'm not getting sound from firefox or chrome. Mplayer can play an audio track. But vlc can't [05:50] what could be happening? how do I go about debugging the issue? [05:50] mantis`: bring up the "pulseaudio volume control" application, are there any programs muted in the "playback" tab? [05:51] leonardus: Is "pulseaudio volume control" the same as the sound settings in gnome's 'Settings' panel? [05:52] mantis`: no, but check the "applications" on that too while you're at it [05:52] When I bring that up, there is a tab called 'Applications'. It has sound settings for chrome an mplayer. They all have volume up to full [05:52] are the switches to the right of them turned on? [05:52] yep [05:53] leonardus: so I guess the next step is finding the pulseaudio volume contol [05:53] mantis`: does firefox/vlc show up on there when you open them? [05:53] anyone know where to find an up to date rails install document for ubuntu [05:54] leonardus: no. just two slots for chrome. The slot for mplayer just dissapeared. That's prolly cos the track I was playng from the commandline completed [05:56] oh [05:58] leonardus: I just installed pavucontrol. I can see that chrome isn't muted. But looking at the 'output devices' tab, it appears that the sound is being channeled through to the HDMI port [05:58] I don't have the device actually plugged into an HDMI output though [05:58] mantis`: can I see a screenshot? [05:59] just of the output devices tab [06:01] https://imgur.com/a/xgh3mSP [06:05] leonardus: I'm looking around both pavu control and the gnome sound settings for a switch, to switch from hdmi output back to just using the devices own sound output. I can't see anything.

[09:29] ducasse, I think this worked under windows but that was long ago, I already rebooted router, restarted printer spooler on router and restarted cups but to no avail [09:29] will for this print job probably move the printer and connect directly [09:31] eFfeM: i'd try asking for help here again on a weekday, or later today. weekends are quiet here, especially at this time. [09:32] good luck, though [09:32] ducasse: thanks, will try that and will try windows later, for now just moved the printer and connected directly, that worked so my urgent need is resolved [10:02] How can i run qml-scripts? === capella is now known as capella|away === Dreaman is now known as Blade === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [11:11] hello, I believe my machine contains a GPS module. how can I find out, and how can I use it?

[12:54] I have tried to get the LG monitor running with the internal graphics card from Intel,i915 [12:54] using the displayport [12:55] I do only get 4 resolutions, the best is 1024x768 [12:55] the monitor is not identified properly [12:56] Then I have installed the rx graphics card from AMD [12:56] in the first step, it was not doing well, so I made some trials with mixed card usage [12:57] afterall, I have reset the bios to standard values and have all 3 monitors attached to thr rx card [12:57] mixed card usage ? [12:57] and it works [12:57] prof2004, very good [12:58] yes, you can use the internal card, and the external card together [12:58] prof2004, ok [12:59] I am really wondering, the internal card does not identify the monitor in the right way, the external does [12:59] I am no trying to make the system stable, as you told me, it is a mess [13:00] I have deleted all the sources for other programs, only http://ppa.launchpad.net/clipgrab-team/ppa/ubuntu bionic main is still there [13:01] and http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu, but this is not marked as active [13:01] It is open source driver package [13:02] prof2004, usually we advice to stick with official respositories sources [13:02] looking to the web at https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [13:03] it seams, that the mesa driver in my system are from there, do they? [13:03] prof2004, dpkg -l | grep mesa | pastebinit [13:04] Reverting to original drivers needs to enter sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers [13:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TDnQXw9cJz/ [13:05] I a little bit afraid, if I do purge the drivers, nothing works again [13:05] because updating to 18.04 made me crazy, because the drivers from AMD, working fine in 16.04, did not work anymore [13:06] after searching the internet, I found the mesa solution, which was working [13:07] prof2004, apt-cache policy libopenvg1-mesa | pastebinit [13:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZmkYqVHHr7/ [13:07] this is the output for xrandr [13:08] i see [13:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xvfTQjSrvp/ [13:10] prof2004, you still have old leftover, but probably not an issue [13:11] how can I get rid of the old stuff? [13:11] prof2004, sudo apt purge libopenvg1-mesa [13:11] shall I purge the ppa source from oibaf? [13:12] prof2004, i think you already did that [13:13] done, libroutermanager-plugins-gstreamer1 is missing, as well as libroutermanager0 [13:13] config data from libopenvg1-mesa:amd64 (10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6) are deleted [13:13] no, ioria, I am waiting for a go :-) [13:15] prof2004, your version of libopenvg1-mesa is 10.1.3, and it's not supported anymore; so we are just removing completely that pkg [13:17] prof2004, do the same for libgles2-mesa [13:18] prof2004, the last btw can be reinstalled with the correct version (18.0.5) [13:20] ok, i will remove these packages, and than, I shall install libgles2-mesa again? [13:21] prof2004, apt-cache policy libgles2-mesa | pastebinit [13:23] sudo apt remove libopenvg1-mesa, makes nothing, because package libopenvg1-mesa:i386 is not installed [13:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mk72wtW2dS/ [13:24] the same for libgles2-mesa [13:25] prof2004, apt-cache policy libgles2-mesa:i386 | pastebinit [13:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3N7pMXWyYT/ [13:26] prof2004, and i told you 'purge' not 'remove' [13:26] prof2004, sudo apt purge libgles2-mesa:i386 [13:28] done for both packages [13:28] ok [13:28] shall I now install libgles2-mesa [13:29] ? [13:29] and what is with ppa-purge of the oibaf source? shall I do it? [13:30] prof2004, it's not required, but you can .. why did you install it ?

It was working before. [13:39] setup of scan2pdf says, using interface libimage-sane-perl [13:40] prof2004, and simple-scan can find the scanner ? [13:40] no, no scanner found [13:41] I had already this problem before, and think I have reinstalled something from HP with apt [13:42] prof2004, did you installed the drivers from HP or what ?

[13:48] I do not know, but now, the system is up and running, I was just trying to scan something and it does not work [13:48] this was before we have made our changes today [13:49] I need scan and printing to run my office activities [13:50] prof2004, ls /usr/lib/sane [13:51] access not possible, file or folder not found [13:51] ok [13:53] prof2004, usb or wifi ?

[14:43] it is really quite annoying that this has not been fixed for such long time... after all Broadcom is a major brand... one would think that there's a lot of interest in making these dievice work [14:43] encho: unless i'm mistaken, you just install broadcom-sta-dkms and that will build the driver [14:44] encho: i think it's a licence thing, the driver can not be distributed as a binary with the kernel [14:44] same story with my Bluetooth chip :( I have to download firmwares... load them... it's hard to find the correct firmware... etc etc [14:45] @ducasse - yeah most likely... anyway - I go read now , thanks again :) [14:46] @coz_ : Yes I have been using Fedora and yes - it does NOT have these problems [14:46] (so maybe it isn\t a license/binary problem after all?) [14:47] Unfortunately Fedora has varios other issues on a laptop and I found that overall Ubuntu is more suitable to use on a laptop and Fedora - as a server [14:48] i dunno, it's just the usual reason why drivers are distributed as dkms packages [14:48] I do keep this option as a last resort but for now I was hoping I could get my Ubuntu working :) [14:48] encho, not so, works great on this laptop [14:48] 'this\ - meaning your laptop or the Toshiba I described? [14:54] encho, I don't see why not, but inreality, unless the laptop is in front of me, testing, I cant say absolutely, [14:55] encho, I use bot ubuntu and fedora, on even lower end laptops with little to no real issues [14:55] encho, A live iso will let you know [14:56] coz_ : a live fedora iso? [14:57] encho, yep [14:58] encho, you can also try the spins https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ [14:58] this isn't really the place to discuss fedora, though [14:59] ducasse, absolutely true [14:59] coz_ : and then things like Nvidia 3d accel drivers? MP3 support? They all work fine for you in fc29? [14:59] encho, you can prvt me [14:59] ducasse: yes... wrapping it up with this last question [15:08] hi [15:20] this is crap. my wifi disconnected suddenly and required to reboot. and it halt on reboot. when I tried rmmod mwifiex_pcie -f it said the module is busy. the entire linux experience here is definitely lame. including no battery status and sxits [15:25] HaMsTeRs: Its not because you dont know how to use linux that it is crap :) [15:25] what is your problem exactly ? [15:27] problem 1: no battery status showing, which I'll never know when the system will run out of battery. problem 2: wifi module randomly corrupted. once corrupted, I need to cold boot the system by holding the power button [15:28] it'll not work when using the reboot --force or shutdown -h now command. it'll hung [15:29] problem 3. all the software I like are not free -- including Binary Ninja, IDA Pro, Sublime [15:29] and the free versions of it's alternate are like poking a log in the cherry [15:29] *excuse me [15:31] you're complaining that some software costs money? [15:31] :) [15:31] Yup, i love dev for nuts. I can definetly live with that. [15:32] HaMsTeRs: IDA pro is not free anyway [15:32] batterny not showing? depend of your laptop and how did you configure the acpi [15:32] problem 2 is generally due to a driver problem [15:33] for problem 1, it's more like acpi module [15:33] yup. [15:33] I see many acpi error in dmesg [15:33] did you google that errors ? [15:33] yes, and it's a known issue which nobody ever solved [15:33] really ? and can you past us that ? [15:34] a thread opened like a year ago in jakeday [15:34] HaMsTeRs: try this - http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [15:34] also the output of acpi -d [15:34] ok, pls wait [15:34] your thing is really old [15:34] what laptop do you use ? [15:36] surface pro 2017 [15:36] acpi -b ? [15:37] aha, there's your problem [15:37] lol [15:37] a surface on linux :) [15:37] last i heard they had known problems running linux [15:38] here's the thread I'm talking about: https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/28 [15:38] acpi -b nothing shown [15:39] Just to know, what version of ubuntu, what kernel are you using [15:40] anyone else using protonvpn on Ubuntu and have some sort of simple way to use the CLI launcher sudo command without having to manually type it in every time [15:40] babou: no [15:40] You can use nm-applet [15:41] whats that do? [15:41] babou: set up an alias [15:41] or an alias [15:41] i mean its simple, sudo protonvpn-cli -f [15:41] 4.18.16-surface-linux-surface #15 SMP Tue Oct 23 10:33:36 EDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | ubuntu 18.10 [15:41] is it worth the effort to set that up? [15:42] babou: 'alias myvpn="sudo protonvpn-cli -f"' [15:42] babou: put that in ~/.bashrc, then you just type 'myvpn' [15:43] HaMsTeRs: so you use a non official kernel [15:43] HaMsTeRs: and 2 out of your 3 problems come from the kernel [15:43] the official kernel even worst [15:44] first, use a lts version [15:44] even the touchscreen won't work [15:44] yes, I moved from 18.04 to 18.10 [15:44] that may be, but we don't support what you're running now [15:45] I'm new, and I want to move to Linux as my main box for daily drive [15:46] HaMsTeRs: Cool. Then do not use a pseudo kernel based on a github code if you dont know what your doing. [15:46] have you tried a mainline kernel? [15:46] I don't care which kernel to run, if necessary, I can change to any kernel. I just want the basic stuffs to work [15:46] if you need a newer kernel at all [15:46] ducasse, do i need to reboot? [15:46] try to use ukuu and kernel 4.19.4 [15:46] babou: no, just relogin [15:46] ahh gotcha [15:47] i'll try it next time i boot, tyvm [15:47] but not something custom builded if you dont really know what your doing. [15:47] babou: to try it now, type 'source ~/.bashrc' [15:47]
