[00:00] slidinghorn: the response to lsblk doesnt tell me that [00:01] Avion, try parted /dev/sd* 'print' (where "*" is the drive letter - sda, sdb, etc) [00:01] Avion: "sudo blkid" will include info on the file-system type [00:01] Avion: or "lsblk -f" will do the same [00:02] slidinghorn: rescue mode said I had to do it manually and some other think said I had to donit from usb. thats where I am now. [00:03] slidinghorn: this tecmint page looks like I could have done it from recovery [00:04] Avion, Well let's just continue from USB, since that's where we're at now. Both TJ-'s suggestion and my own will give you the information you need [00:06] TJ-: blkid was perfect. i knew I installed it at the end of the drive. (to start, way back, I used windows to divide the rest of drive in 8 partitions so I could experiment with different distros. ✓ [00:14] TJ-: fsck -Nc /dev/sbd1 - that didnt work. i am lost [00:16] Avion: what type is the file-system, and what way 'didn't work' [00:20] TJ-: oops mistyped. fixed. it says: there are differences between boot sector and its backup. this is mostly harmless. -- now gives me three choices: copy original to backup or copy backup to original or no action [00:26] TJ- oh, lsblk -f was more helpful. my filesystem is actually sda6 [00:26] Avion: what program are you using that reports that? Generally there is no backup of a boot sector unless a tool has previously been used to create one [00:29] TJ-: my bad, i was checking the flash drive. found the right partition. fixed it. it is booting. (inpostednto reddit and hadnt tried recovery and what i showed reddit was the wrong thing to show them. - today I tried recovery and that led me on this successful path.) THANK YOU and slidinghorn [00:44] is it possible to change my bios time through ubuntu? [00:45] is there any command line program for that?

[01:40] My Ubuntu Server deployment uses 2GB. [01:40] So, the short answer is "it depends." [02:20] I'm using xsel/xclip. Sometimes a final "enter" aka "\012" is at the end, and I'd like to remove that. How can I use tr or sed to remove the last character if it's "/012"? [02:23] sed 's:\\012::'? [02:23] Actually, that probably wouldn't work. [02:24] s:\n:: [02:24] Newline?

Instead, I get what looks to be where the partition list goes, and "+ - Change" buttons at the bottom. Clicking any of these completely freeze the installer. Has anyone run into this? [02:32] Nevermind, that should have been tr -d [02:32] '\012' | ... but it'll delete all \012's, not just the last when it's the last character [02:34] sed '${/^\012$/d;}' file [02:35] That'll delete the last line of the file IF the only content on the line is that character. [02:40] Or, at least, in theory.

What is your actual question? [02:51] that would cover all versions https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=thunderbird [02:51] I don't see a calendar in it at all . . . which is confusing because Google is telling me one should exist [02:51] I've got a beta version downloaded which has a calendar but it appears like the google calendar extension is broken in that [02:52] jmadero, the calendar feature is an extension called Lightning [02:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1797945 [02:52] Launchpad bug 1797945 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) "Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1" [High,Confirmed] [02:52] known issue [02:52] I'm seeing that Lightning is incorporated into Thunderbird after 58.* [02:52] which makes sense as it works fine in my beta release [02:52] just without Google Calendar integration it's essentially useless for me [02:53] jmadero: the calendar is there on 18.04; there's 3 icons top-right, the one with measles brings up the calendar [02:53] https://support.mozilla.org/nl/questions/1229874 with some promising fixes [02:53] TJ-: yeah I see that in beta, not in the stable release in the repos [02:54] OerHeks: checking out the link now [02:54] jmadero: ahh! seems I have both installed :D [02:54] in short, wipe and reinstall xul-ext-lightning [02:57] I didn't even have xul-ext-lightning installed [02:57] installing it didn't do anything though [02:58] pkill thunderbird # something like that ? [02:59] no good - this is super frustrating since it appears like it's environment specific [03:02] well - it's profile specific, this is now interesting [03:24] Hi, I'm installing 18.04 desktop, and the installer hangs when it gets to the 'installation type' screen- it doesn't allow me to pick a type (the screen I see listed on tutorials don't appear). Instead, I get what looks to be where the partition list goes, and "+ - Change" buttons at the bottom. Clicking any of these completely freeze the installer. Has anyone run into this?

(Yes, I'm chatting w/ him on the phone. He's actually my best friend IRL) [04:07] I'm back. Slightly different question. I was looking at https://askubuntu.com/questions/194027/locking-with-usb-drive, but the answers are all out-dated. The suggested cuttlefish PPA doesn't work on 18.04, and the pamusb package is no longer available, as well. Is there anyway, possibly using evdev rules, to make my computer lock when a particular USB device is unplugged?

[06:17] I would rather just install ubuntu rather then try to install just grub [06:33] what's the better option: using a preconfigured compton config or sudo saving a custom xorg file (with compositing pipeline) per nvidia driver? for a gtx 1060. [06:39] i would assume installing nvidia is theoretically better performance over Nouveau? [06:49] doge-doge: we reccomend adding the ubuntu graphics ppa for gtx cards [06:50] doge-doge: from there you can try nvidia 390,396 or 410 [06:50] i just installed the driver through the software updater settings and it seemed fine installed... [06:50] doge-doge: ubuntu-drivers list to see what your system suggests [06:51] doge-doge: sure, if you are happy with ubuntu's current driver and everything is working you can keep that [06:52] bray9082_: in most cases ubuntu adapts to your hardware/system but make a backup before you experiment ok [06:53] bray9082_: for example and old ubuntu install on ssd, you put the ssd into a new system will adapt itself to the new system [06:53] in regards to screen tearing and overall performance, i'm reading that forcing the composition pipeline should be your first option since compton itself claims it can never replace the driver's abilities [06:53] bray9082_: of course a fresh install is mostly adviced [06:54] doge-doge: well driver versions can differ alot on performance, best driver is the one performing best on your card/system [06:56] idk, digging around the nvidia-ultil app (by sudo since you need to save the xorg file) seems like a highly-skilled use-case [06:56] i've always been told to *never* run any gui per sudo [06:57] i think that's why gksu got burried? [06:58] doge-doge: yes for security reasons running sudo GUI has been disabled on 18.04 [06:58] lol, so you have to generate the xorg file manually and copy it over? [06:59] doge-doge: currently fiddling around with the xorg file is not needed anymore [06:59] how else would nvidia retain custom configs for the next session? [06:59] doge-doge: of course there are always 'special' cases that might need some tuning here and there === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotus|NUC [07:29] hiya, [07:29] quick question : can i bold the first line of the terminal, eg "user@pc:~" and make it BOLD?

[07:35] ok ducasse, can you tell me whats the name of that line thingy? i dont know whats it called (so i can google it) [07:35] the notification sounds in MATE need a serious update from legacy settings [07:35] doge-doge: bash.rc or .bashrc?

[07:50] For some odd reason using sudo dhclient eth0 fixed it for the time being, but I am rather curious as to why this is all happening. [07:52] Skyrider: how are you configuring your network - netplan? [07:58] One would think. [07:58] netplan exists and should be default. Yet none o the netplan commands work [07:59] are you using networkd or network manager? [07:59] Everything was working fine until a kernel update reboot requirement.. after that, the entire net died. [08:00] Good Q... I usually never touch the stuff as its set to dhcp anyway. [08:01] But I remember a file that pinpointed that manplan was used. [08:01] and /etc/netplan does exist, but netplan itself is an unknown command. [08:05] Skyrider: does 'type netplan' return anything? [08:07] type netplan: not found [08:07] might not be properly installed [08:08] can you pastebin the output of 'apt policy netplan.io'?

[14:20] I have SecureBoot setup and /proc/keys shows me the Canonical keys. However, when I build a module with dkms, modinfo does not show signer or sig_key. I do see "~Module signature appended~" with hexdump. [14:21] Where are the keys that are used to sign the modules? [14:21] Stored securely on Canonical's systems, I'd expect. [14:22] To do otherwise would circumvent the protection that secure boot is intended to provide. [14:22] iosecure, So how do I sign DKMS modules? Enroll my own key? [14:22] iosecure: VPS is different than a physical system. Most recovery partitions are signed for the recovery module in the bios to verify it hasn't been tampered with. Bios recovery may not recognize the partition for booting [14:23] lolswitch: The best way is to follow the instructions on ubuntu's website for installing [14:23] lolswitch: Either burning the ISO to DVD-ROM for boot, or flashing the image to a thumb drive [14:23] I figured it must be generating a key somewhere on the filesystem. [14:23] !usb | lolswitch [14:23] lolswitch: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:24] that would mean to mount the disk and run setup like a fucking faggot [14:24] pragmaticenigma: KVM VMs are in general indistinguishable from physical systems. No one said that he had to boot from the recovery option. As long as the partition entry is set to the correct type, BIOS should recognize it as any other bootable partition. [14:24] lolswitch: Language. [14:24] lolswitch: watch you language === capella|away is now known as capella [14:24] k [14:27] lolswitch: This channel only supports the official methods for installation that are documented by the community and Ubuntu developers. The method you described isn't supported here, you're welcome to try it, but it is very unlikely anyone here will be able to provide assistance [14:37] I am trying to get wifi to work on this laptop. ethernet works. lspci shows both wireless and wired network cards. iwconfig only shows enp7s0 and lo, neither having wireless extensions [14:38] dmesg show any errors? [14:38] what chipset? [14:39] 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) [14:41] Ascavasaion: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [14:41] if that doesn't work, or errors, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [14:43] gotpunk, Do I need to reboot or soemthing for that to work? [14:47] gotpunk: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer does not exist [14:47] Let me reboot [14:49] nobody tell him i just googled that shit [14:49] and it was the first(second?) result [14:52] gotpunk: It worked!!! thank you [14:53] np! === Miklo is now known as leona === leona is now known as Miklo [15:08] I've been having trouble with latest kernel using Bionic. When I try to boot, I get a black screen and never shows anything. [15:08] If I use the first older kernel, it gets to loading some kind of RAM, but hangs. [15:09] Where is the MOK stored on disk? === SimonNL is now known as _SimonNL [15:10] ubuntu 18.04 (updated) and 18.10 both have flickering issues for a few minutes when I log into my desktop. This doesn't seem to happen when I am running live, but only after I apt upgrade. 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1cbb] (rev a1) VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:3e9b] [15:11] running nouveau and i915 [15:11] rapidwave, can you tell/show us what this "some kind of RAM" screen looks like? [15:14] hmm, not sure why lspci doesn't show what kind of GPU the nvidia is.. it is a nvidia quadro P1000. [15:16] is there a way to increase the size of things in the default de for 18? [15:16] strixdio, you should probably install the nvidia driver [15:16] 18.04 DE has really tiny scroll bars and buttons [15:17] the 200% zoom stuff is nonsense [15:17] strixdio, or, this might be related: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1038973/linux/2-same-quadro-p1000-cards-but-only-one-can-install-ubuntu-/ [15:18] lordcirth_: I am leaning this way, though I'm not used to ubuntu.. there won't be any issues with it right? as in, kernel updated but driver not? [15:18] it doesn't change line height so everything gets smushed out [15:18] lordcirth_: I'm wanting ubuntu installed to my USB drive to be my "just works" distro. [15:18] strixdio, so long as you are installing from the graphics-drivers ppa for the right version (bionic) there shouldn't be a mismatch. [15:19] oh, ppa. :/ [15:19] strixdio, alternatively, try turning off desktop animations; perhaps the flickering will stop [15:21] Alright, thanks for the help :) [15:21] Roden, gnome-tweak-tool to the rescue [15:21] I'll consider both options. Probably the nvidia blob since that's the direction I was leaning anyway. [15:25] lordcirth_ I believe it's just a line trying to load initram [15:25] Question - does Lubuntu support the Intel 945 graphics chipset? I may be running on generics right now. [15:25] this is my ollllllld netbook BTW, 1GB RAM, 1.6ghz intel atom [15:25] oh and I forgot, running 16.04 as well, seems to run great on this thing. [15:25] CookieM, there are 61000 possibilities for gnome-tweak-tools{tab} [15:26] could you recommend a dead ringer, mate? [15:26] Draconiator, pretty sure the Lubuntu and Ubuntu kernels are the same. [15:26] And the Intel drivers are just kernel modules, last I checked [15:27] ah so I don't need to do anything. [15:27] Yeah intel works with everything [15:27] Is the synaptic pad behavior for you guys in ubuntu also wonkers? [15:28] Click-and-hold left-mouse and can't highlight terminal text [15:28] only terminal, though [15:28] Roden, I recall having problems with synaptic years ago, but not recently [15:28] I can highlight in hexchat but not in terminal [15:28] Roden, to double check, is the terminal running anything, like 'top'? [15:28] no. [15:29] And this is gnome-terminal? [15:29] I was going to state a problem here and then maybe at wine [15:29] I don't know. I'm a freshie on 18.04 [15:29] I typed version: no dice. [15:30] I'm going to have to break out the google fu in a minut. [15:30] I don't want to, though. [15:30] Roden, the default terminal on Ubuntu 18.04 is gnome-terminal. [15:30] I did run 18.04 on here for a while, but this one seems to bemore geared to low power devices, and it's perfect for my needs [15:30] okay then it is. [15:30] Roden, just in case, try installing xterm and running it [15:31] Shouldn't I be able to highlight stuff in the nome term? [15:31] Roden, yes, you should, but this could help us narrow down the problem [15:31] Oh, it's huge, lo [15:32] When I hit ctrl-alt-t I get the same nonsense [15:32] okay xterm is up [15:33] Same nonsense in xterm [15:33]
