[00:34] anyone about? [00:34] I added new nvidia drivers to 18.04 and reset. after resetting the pc, I tried to log in... [00:34] The screen blinks and then goes back to login. [00:42] is automatic upgrade of packages turned ON in this configuration: [00:43] https://pastebin.com/0SEgvsBj [00:46] upgrade =/= update [00:47] 20auto-upgrades and 50unattended-upgrades are responcible for that [00:47] k, I am wondering if packages like, apache2/mariadb/redis will get upgraded [00:48] cognition___: no, it's downloading the lastest list of packages and even downloads the packages, but it stops short of installing them it looks. seems reasonable if somebody wants to keep control _when_ it happens but automate it partially [00:50] OerHeks: theres no 50unattended-upgrades [00:51] hmm maybe part of livepatch, not sure [00:52] https://pastebin.com/Jt2XieCK [00:52] mutante: TY [00:56] OerHeks: It is zenial 16.04.3 LTS [00:56] xenial [01:00] so yes, "1" means enabled [01:13] `curl -v fake.url` is routing back to our network router. any ideas how to fix? this happens for any unknown hosts. so when I would normally get "server not found" errors in Chrome/Firefox, I just get our local web server trying to serve the request. [01:16] CoreyW: dont make your resolver respond (incorrectly) with the routers' ip address instead of NX, or switch to a resolver which works correctly. [01:16] tomreyn: i dont know what any of that means, aha. is that something i do on my local machine or at router level? [01:17] i assume my machine bc the windows machines dont have this issue [01:19] CoreyW: it's not a default configuration, so it is something the administrator of your computer, your network or your ISP setup. [01:20] tomreyn: no one has touched the computer except myself, and i just did a normal installation of ubuntu [01:21] `systemd-resolve --status` shows on last line `DNS Domain: ourdomain.com`, so that must be the culprit [01:21] not sure how to fix though [01:22] How can I get git to track symbolic links? It seems to be hit and miss. Thanks. [01:23] CoreyW: "ourdomain.com" sounds like you may have copied and pasted instructions from a tutorial, and missed to replace this by your actuual domain name. [01:23] tomreyn: that was just an example. it actually is our domain there [01:23] sorry for confusion [01:24] resolv.conf also has `search ourdomain.com` [01:25] CoreyW: this search domain is probably sent by your router upon dhcp and inherited by your ubuntu system. [01:25] tomreyn: ah okay. so is it okay to override that on my machine? or should i modify the router setup? [01:26] not sure if dhcp will overwrite my changes or not [01:26] CoreyW: in other words: if you don't like those lookups you should either reconfigure the router not to send it to this or all of your systems or reconfugre your ubuntu system to ignore this information received as part of the dhcp response. [01:27] is reconfiguring my ubuntu simple enough? i dont want to mess with router if possible. [01:28] if it is plain wrong and you manage the network / router then you should 'mess with the router'. [01:28] CoreyW: That sounds like a common ISP move where they'll intercept DNS requests for invalid domains and direct them to an ISP landing page, either on the router, or elsewhere. [01:29] okay i will have my boss contact our ISP and see if they can get it sorted out [01:29] iosecure: sounds very likely [01:29] iosecure: in this case though its just sending it back to us, which is weird [01:32] thanks tomreyn [01:32] CoreyW: you can have the isp change it, thats good, but if this is a company environment you should also configure these values on the router yourself properly, and (beforehand) understand what they do. if you dont want to do it on the router but on the clients, it's a matter of configuring 'supersede domain-name ""' and 'supersede domain-search ""' in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf [01:33] okay. im not a network guy, but i will look into that. appreciate the information! [01:36] if you dont have a network guy / gal, then either have $boss hire one, teach it yourself (have your $boss have someone teach you) or find an isp which doesn't provide you with such intentionally-misconfigured-for-profit-maximization gear / network configurations. [01:36] tomreyn: dang, my boss just said we cant configure our router because its managed by our ISP [01:37] lol [01:37] how to calc the disk the ubuntu got when we do apt autoremove? https://bpaste.net/show/9ae148c73d0e afaik we only know only disk space needed [01:40] CoreyW: If it were me, I'd set up a DHCP and DNS server internally, and bypass the router for those functions. [01:40] But that's me. [01:40] CoreyW: so that's a small office / home office setup, not unusual. have the isp fix it and tell them you dont approve their default configurations which cause mistyped domain names and non found domain names to be sent over the (Internet) wire, in what is a non default configuration. [01:40] CoreyW: i'm the same as iosecure there [01:42] fishcooker: it will say once you actually do the autoremove === daniel is now known as Guest29493 === capella|away is now known as capella [01:47] iosecure: after talking more, we do have DHCP server setup here. [01:47] CoreyW: Is it on that router? [01:47] apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run #might tell? [01:47] brandonkal: try asking in #git if you haven't. this matches my observations: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/954560/how-does-git-handle-symbolic-links [01:48] tomreyn: there is line `option domain-name "ourdomain.com";` that i just commented out to see if it works. restarting dhcp service, but not sure if that resets active leases or not [01:48] iosecure: on that router? all i know is our router is setup to go to our local server, which has dhcp server running [01:48] CoreyW: it won't, since this is initiated by the clients. [01:49] ok. is there way to reset my machine? [01:49] CoreyW: actually, it will reset the leases, most likely, but the clients will have to request new ones to catch up on the new configuration [01:49] new ones /renewal [01:49] which they will do after half the lease time [01:50] Thanks tomreyn [01:50] sorry, not sure what that means [01:50] boss mentioned i could just take a static IP and then it prob won't be issue. but still would be nice to fix while im here [01:52] CoreyW: either wait or reboot the router (temporarily disconnecting all users and their connections) or restart the dhcp clients on all computers, or a combination of these. [01:54] ok thanks [01:55] CoreyW: if you use network-manager (default on ubuntu desktops), you can "systemctl restart network-manager", this shoould also restart the dhcp client or get you a new lease anyways. [01:55] or just use the gui to disconnect from, then reconnect to the network. [01:57] tomreyn, that helps. I also found: `ln -s new-file ./gitignored/file` works with git but `ln -s new-file gitignored/file` only works on the system but not in git [01:58] that's interesting, news to me. [02:01] tomreyn: i did restart network-manager after `systemctl restart dhcpd` and `system restart network` on the server for good measure. didn't seem to help commenting out the "option domain-name" line. [02:01] maybe its something else in our config [02:02] Changing that domain name will not affect the function of the router in intercepting DNS queries. [02:02] what should i change then? [02:02] The router's configuration, or stand up your own forwarding resolver that refers to an external DNS service that doesn't do that crap. [02:03] As long as you're going to that router or your ISP for DNS, this will continue to occur. [02:03] iosecure: so youre saying it is something above our dhcp server and actually a router configuration then? [02:03] because i see DNS information on our DHCP server settings, it has a couple of our IPs and then 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [02:04] Are any of those "couple of our IPs" the router itself? [02:04] And handing an external DNS server, like 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, directly to clients is a bad idea. [02:04] Clients should -always- use internal DNS, or -always- use external DNS. [02:04] "our IPs" may be wrong actually, they look similar to ours, but they are probably just our ISPs ips. but no, one of them is not the router [02:05] so the DHCP server you run is separate from the (potential, and likely existing) DHCP server on the router? [02:05] at least as far as i know its not the same ip [02:05] Mixing the two will almost always lead to inconsistent behavior. [02:05] tomreyn: possibly. [02:05] best i do just consult with our ISP then. [02:05] CoreyW: which single system works as a DHCP server for your network is what you need out first. if it's two, kill one. [02:06] * nneed to find out [02:06] you almost never want more than one [02:07] tomreyn: i can view the active leases for our local DHCP server, and it shows my machine there. if that means anything [02:10] CoreyW: you said you (company) run your own DHCP server. whoever stated this should know where it runs. alternatively you could analyze DHCP reponses sent on the network (as a result of DHCP requests), or, simpler, switch off the router for a while (cutting everyone off the network) and see if you can still get a dhcp lease (i.e. an IP address assigned via DHCP) at the time. if that happens, you have a separate (and probably two, one in addition [02:10] to the router, DHCP servers which is a very bad configuration for a small company network). [02:12] cognition___: 16.04.3 is much outdated, 16.04.5 is current. [02:13] (so apparently updates ar eindeed not applied automatically, and even then you'd still need to reboot for kernel patches to be applied) [02:15] Jerbot: you should probably diuscuss what you mean by "I added new nvidia drivers", i.e. how you added those. [02:15] tomreyn I already reformatted. [02:15] Is the Deja Dup app automatically backing up data to a remote server by default? [02:16] tomreyn What I'm trying to do is verify that my os uses the dedicated gpu when necessary. [02:16] Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu and Elementary side by side on different partitions of the same SSD, and I would like to have a different UEFI entry for each of the systems, however both get named "ubuntu" on the UEFI bootloader. I've tried several ways to rename them but no luck. Does anybody know the right way to rename the UEFI label of an Ubuntu based distro? Thanks!! [02:18] tomreyn installing the driver was difficult. I added the nvidia graphics repository with some ppa command then updated then did apt install nvidia-driver-default and was shown the error E: dependencies required but not met. The nvidia-415 driver was the dependency, and it also had a dependency. So, traced the dependencies down installed them all and finally nvidia-driver-default worked.... [02:18] I think I figured it out, looks like the answer is No [02:18] Then I restarted my computer and got the "login loop" issue. Typing the correct password sends you back to the login screen. [02:18] * Jerbot breathes [02:18] Jerbot: i have no current first hand experience but i think the proprietary nvidia drivers provide some kind of gui to configure which applications (based on executable name) to run through the dedicated gpu. one of them could be glxinfo. [02:19] tomreyn I'm going to try that. Ijust don't understand why nvidia's driver-managing gui doesn't allow me to force dedicated. [02:19] tomreyn: i just talked to ISP, they said they have no DHCP servers running or anything special. [02:20] so it must be our server. [02:20] erts: efibootmgr probably [02:20] thats all the help they could offer [02:20] Jerbot: i'm really the wrong person to give advice regarding nvidia, i don't use it - sorry for responding at all. i hope someone else can help. [02:21] tomreyn Chatting about stuff helps, man. I'd rather talk to someone unknowing than nobody at all. Thanks for contributing. [02:21] epicmetal: I tried using that to re-create the entry with a different name, but it doesn't work..still looks for an ubuntu directory [02:22] looking over our dhcpd.conf, only place i see "ourdomain.com" is on that one line. so idk where else it would be coming from [02:23] it has "option routers 192.168.2.1" which is our router. but i assume that is normal [02:23] which apparently our server *is* our router though, according to said boss [02:24] CoreyW: a Linux server can also be a router by flipping one switch basically [02:24] so that's possible [02:25] makes sense then. so something on our server/router is causing our ubuntu machines connected to it to pass unresolved requests back to itself [02:27] resolution is set to Hosts file > DNS > Local hostname. might that be the issue? [02:27] oh shoot, nvm. i see Search domains now. [02:28] CoreyW: is there "search" in /etc/resolv.conf ? [02:29] what is the issue again? i did not follow this from the start [02:29] yes there is [02:29] issue was our ubuntu machines, going to `fake.url` in browser/curl results in request made to our server/router [02:29] instead of 'server not found' error [02:30] CoreyW: the second part to that is /etc/nsswitch.conf it decides where names are looked up, can be "files" /etc/hosts/ or "dns" or both [02:30] resolve.conf has a `search ourdomain.com` line, and it says `Generated by NetworkManager` at top [02:31] CoreyW: when you say "request", do you mean the DNS lookup ? [02:31] i mean it first has to try before it knows that it is "not found" [02:32] and probably you have your DNS server set as your router [02:32] for caching [02:32] yes sounds right. i just mean though if i make an http request to a nonexistant domain, it ends up back at our router IP [02:33] or do you mean sometihng else, like a captive portal [02:33] where you get an actual HTML page that is on the router [02:33] yeah [02:33] CoreyW: if you want to check whether you have multiple DHCP servers on your LAN and using nmap is an option and you have it installed already, you can run this and see if you receive more than one response (i.e. if it says something other than "Response 1 of 1" you have a rogue DHCP server and need to fix this first): sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover -e eth0 [02:33] oh yea, i think this brings us back to "open a ticket with the ISP" [02:34] yea, i wanted to say that too. see here http://ask.xmodulo.com/monitor-dhcp-traffic-command-line-linux.html [02:34] how to check for DHCP traffic , where it really comes from [02:34] mutante: i just called them and they made it sound like they had no control over anything like that [02:34] CoreyW: ask them how _you_ can get access to it then. everything needs some admin, heh [02:35] since the boss claimed they manage it [02:35] CoreyW: oops, had a typo there, here's the right commands: MAINIF=$(ip -o route list default | cut -d' ' -f5); echo "Main interface: $MAINIF"; sudo nmap --script broadcast-dhcp-discover -e $MAINIF [02:35] mutante: he said they manage the router, but they said all the router was doing is passing to our server. idk. this stuff is over my head mostly. [02:35] tomreyn: ok i'll try that.... after editing resolv.conf, it is overwritten by networkmanager and adds the search domain back in [02:36] CoreyW: ok, try to run the "sniffing" tool (tcpdump) to find out if they are saying the truth or not [02:36] how is that happening? [02:36] One should ask permission before running tools like nmap or tcpdump [02:36] What could be adding things to the path of a non login bash shell except ~/.bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc? === DrWatson_ is now known as DrWatson [02:37] CoreyW: not to insult you, maybe you should question why you are tasked with network management stuff if your boss seem to know well about it and you don't. [02:37] CoreyW: i dont think it's the search domain, unless you get "fake.url.yourdomain.com" in the browser [02:37] i'm trying to install ubuntu server 18.04.1 and i'm on the screen that shows which interface i want to use as the default. if i switch to another tty how can i get the interfaces/ip addresses? ifconfig doesn't work [02:38] mutante: okay. no the url remains fake.url in browser. [02:38] forgotmynick: "ip" replaced "ifconfig" [02:38] tomreyn: youre right, hes just not concerned as i am [02:38] forgotmynick: try "ip a s" [02:39] tomreyn: nmap shows "Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (O hosts up) [02:39] thank you [02:39] it showed on IP offered [02:39] what tcpdump command do i run? [02:40] CoreyW: it was in the link above [02:40] in method 1 [02:41] CoreyW: I would ask permission prior to running tools like nmap or tcpdump [02:41] CoreyW: is there no output about "broadcast-dhcp-discover" from nmap? [02:42] tomreyn: yes it showed a few lines. what line has meaning? [02:42] cryptodan_mobile: you havbe a point, but this very command i provided only does what a dhcp client does, send a broadcast request and see whats returned. [02:42] erts: maybe just copy the EFI app to the default path [02:43] erts: EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI [02:43] tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/5JsW8wQA [02:43] CoreyW: quopting myself: if it says something other than "Response 1 of 1" you have a rogue DHCP server and need to fix this first [02:43] erts: where "EFI\" is a directory in the root of your ESP [02:44] CoreyW: oh you run an older nmap than myself, it doesn't say it in this version, but you seem to only have this one dhcp server there. [02:44] tomreyn: okay cool [02:45] so if search domain isnt the issue, i wonder what would be [02:46] CoreyW: so no rogue dhcp servers. line 12 lists the resolvers (Domain Name Servers) returened by your DHCP server. i don't think the google ones (#3 and #4) would return those fake responses., so it's probably either #1 or #2 [02:46] tomreyn: those look like our ISPs IP addresses. but they claim to not be doing it. [02:47] CoreyW: you maybe appending your domain to URLs maybe [02:47] so basically its not even trying googles dns youre saying? [02:47] cryptodan_mobile: huh? [02:48] will the tcpdump be useful or was that just to check for double dhcp server? [02:51] CoreyW: https://askubuntu.com/a/473932 [02:52] cryptodan_mobile: on no, i dont have that line in there [02:52] CoreyW: your computers will use the resolvers provided in the order they are provided, so usually the first of them and only failover to the next if the first one fails to respond entirely. [02:53] tomreyn: i see. so you think that the first DNS server can't find the URL, and responds by sending back our IP? [02:56] CoreyW: i think it's likely that the first DNS server can't find the host name you asked for ("fake.url"), then your client asks it about fake.url.$YOURDOMAIN instead and the first resolver either correctly or incorrectly responds with your routers WAN ip address. === mnemonic is now known as semeion [02:56] tomreyn: hmm.. lookin in nsswitch.conf i see `hosts: files dns myhostname` [02:56] literally `myhostname` [02:58] and the hosts file has several entries for the local and public IP of our router/server [02:58] CoreyW: you want to configure your DHCP server to send the dns domain-name [02:58] CoreyW: you want to configure your DHCP server NOT to send the dns domain-name [02:58] ^ this [03:00] or maybe you want it to send a diferent domain name, one which you manage for internal DNS lookups only. but then you wouldn't know how and explaining this now takes more time than i'm willing to spend. [03:00] tomreyn: haha i know, and youve been super patient. [03:00] so the easier option is to not have it send the domain name [03:00] where do i set that option? [03:00] on the dhcp server [03:01] right but how? [03:01] the *much* less manageable option is to se all clients to supersede the domain-name option by the empty string [03:01] is there a web browser anitivirus [03:01] for website protection [03:02] CoreyW: which dhcp server do you run there? [03:03] pi0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript [03:03] CoreyW: do you want to fix this just for yourself or for the entire organization? [03:03] ISC DHCPd version 4.2.5 [03:04] entire org would be great [03:04] CoreyW: do folks at work usually enter things like "www" in their web browsers and expect to end up on your website? [03:05] tomreyn: just www by itself? no [03:05] or "ftp" to end up on your ftp server or similar [03:05] no [03:05] thank you [03:05] installing it now [03:06] how do i tweak my laptop monitor to set the settings higher [03:06] not enough to squint lol but just to have the apps navigatable [03:07] CoreyW: ok, then check your dhcp server's configuration files (main configuration file and zone files) for "option domain-name" [03:07] tomreyn: yes, its set to "emrl.com" [03:08] CoreyW: so comment it out or set it to the empty string, then reload the dhcp server. then clear your local dns cache and try fake.url again [03:09] tomreyn: i did that earlier with no luck. can try again though to make sure all is reset [03:09] pi0: for me it's System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Displays but it depends what desktop environment you are using [03:10] tomreyn: restart dhcp server with `systemctl restart dhcpd` should do it yes? [03:11] CoreyW: be sure to know how to revert this configuration change, since this can have side effects on how your collecgues need to / expect to be able to work. as indicated above ("short names to access your website, ftp server etc. weill no longer work, people and systems need to always use the fully qualified domain name to access resources hosted on your WAN IP address). [03:11] CoreyW: yes, this should do it if this is a system using systemd [03:11] thats fine. we dont do anyting like that hear... and by local DNS cache, do you mean at my local ubuntu machine level? or browser level? DHCP server level? [03:12] do i need to renew lease? [03:12] on your client you need to: systemd-resolve --flush-caches [03:12] clent = your local ubuntu machine [03:12] ...that's if it uses systemd-resolved [03:13] its standard 18.04 ubuntu so i assume [03:13] yes it does then [03:13] hey it worked this time! last time I just hadnt cleared the dns cache [03:14] ok, problem solved. it's indeed not your ISPs fault, just your org's [03:14] perfect! i don't know who set that before or why but i'm glad its gone now [03:18] Is there a super simple GUI analog to 'notepad' in ubuntu? [03:19] something that pops open in 1 second, just to scrawl a note real quick? [03:19] tomreyn: thanks very much for sticking with me. appreciate it. [03:19] and others as well! [03:20] Geo: try "pluma" [03:20] Geo: There is namo for quickies . [03:20] I have trouble using the RPM command on Ubuntu 18.04. Is the command only suitable for Redhat? [03:20] Geo: also "atom" is cool but that's much more powerful [03:21] mutante: did you seriously just suggest atom as a simple "notepad" clone? [03:21] sam_wong: yes, rpm is for redhat only, the r is for redhat [03:22] sam_wong: well and anything based on redhat, like centos, fedora, mandrake.. [03:22] Bashing-om: is that namo or nano? [03:22] mutante: ok, thanks [03:22] CoreyW: for the general approach in an organization environment: it's common to have the company LAN's DHCP server return your company LAN's resolvers as DNS servers to DHCP clients, as well as a domain-name or domain-search option value of "emrl.corp" (or similar), which can't be resolved on the internet's and ISP's resolvers. then you have your own LAN-only DNS server at the location the DHCP server points your clients to, which manages the [03:22] "emrl.corp" zone, and allows you to point anyone on your office LAN requesting resources such as "mailserver" to "mailserver.emrl.corp", and that to your actual LAN mailserver. [03:22] sam_wong: apt is the command you're looking for on ubuntu [03:22] sam_wong: there is a package called "alien" to convert rpm to deb but first try other solutions [03:22] Geo: Sorry ,, typo . nano . [03:22] mutante: ok [03:23] Geo: leafpad is by far the simplest text editor/notepad looking clone [03:23] Bashing-om: no worries, wasn't sure if that was some new fork or something :P [03:23] tomreyn: i see. still, never seeing a "server not found" message for anything is weird isn't it? [03:24] ok, thanks all. I'll take a look at thiese [03:24] sam_wong: apt-get install is the oldschool way on Debian-based distributions. Ubuntu is one of them. The more modern one is apt or aptitude [03:24] CoreyW: it should happen now, does it not? [03:24] nano is not GUI Bashing-om [03:24] Geo: :) .. yeah never can tell .. thinks progress so quickly. [03:24] sam_wong: or if you have a local file, dpkg -i package.deb [03:24] tomreyn: it does. but you were saying some orgs can type "mailserver" as shortcut, but if "mailserver" does not exist, shouldn't they still see a "server not found" page? [03:24] or would they expect to see their orgs page? [03:25] Kumool: I do stand corrected . [03:26] mutante: I have to download another file with a "deb" ending, right? [03:27] sam_wong: the best optioon is you use the "apt" commands to do both for you, download AND install [03:27] sam_wong: only if that is not possible, go to option b to download a .deb manually [03:27] CoreyW: depends. some companies have internal-only resources, just as a local file sharing server which is to be only available form your lan. and then you don'T want to make everyone type "files.mydomain.com" in their web browsers (or whatever client application) every time they want to access it, but just "files". that's what the 'dns-search' and 'dns-domain' option are usually used for. [03:28] tomreyn: right i get that. but with that setup, what if someone typed "filse" (wrong spelling), what would happen? [03:28] mutante: the first option seems easier [03:29] sam_wong: what are you looking for specifically? you can search with apt-cache search or look on https://packages.ubuntu.com/ then all you need to know is the package name itself, not an URL [03:30] Bashing-om: I think your full stops are not stopping well . [03:31] mutante: I am looking for Arduino IDE [03:31] CoreyW: first, clients will make a dns lookup against "filse.", which won't exist (resolver returns "NX domain"), then against "filse.emrl.corp." which your local DNS server will then repond to with what you configured it to respond to, if anything (if nothing is configued it will also respond with "NX domain" and the client software will return a DNS error) [03:32] sam_wong: "arduino - AVR development board IDE and built-in libraries [03:32] sam_wong: so that means try "apt-install arduino" and that should do it all [03:32] okay so i could have left the domain setting and configured something else to respond better basically? [03:32] im fine with the empty domain setting, but just for sake of understanding [03:33] sam_wong: sorry, either "apt-get install arduino" or "apt install arduino" , my bad [03:33] i gotta take off now anyways though. thanks again. [03:33] mutante: I am trying "sudo apt-get install arduino" and it seems to work fine [03:33] sam_wong: cool, looks good [03:33] CoreyW: if you would like to drive your company's network to this next level you really should have your boss send you to training though. [03:34] mutante: the program has been successfully installed. thanks a lot [03:35] sam_wong: you're welcome. i recommend you to always use apt-get instead of downloading manual software unless there really is none [03:35] sam_wong: that way it will stay more stable and should have no issues with dependencies [03:35] CoreyW: the way things were was not a good configuration, it effrectively leaked your employees DNS requests for non existing hostnames to the ISP, which is not needed and should not happen. as a company, you should always run a local DNS server for all requests from your employees (something you do not do, yet). [03:36] mutante: yes, you are very much helpful [03:36] tomreyn: yeah that would be cool. [03:36] or at least hire someone who knows what theyre doing more so [05:04] anyone here run a multihead display and use the nvidia driver? i'm having some issues apparently that xorg doesn't like... [05:05] noted OerHeks + tomreyn [05:29] having issue when installing ubuntu server on hardware raid Intel® C246 controller. When it reaches the partition/disk stage it show 2 disk instead of hardware raid 1 then if i continue [05:30] ubuntu 18.10 server [05:42] jmazaredo, i have no idea, but I'd assume it was your intelc246 setup (in error), whenever I've used hardware-raid the OS only sees single-disk (without play to get past raid for smartctl diags purposes etc) [05:47] I tried using other distro like centos7 only shows 1 disk [05:48] actually i removed the centos7 to install ubuntu [05:48] i will test the ubuntu desktop to see if same issue occurs [06:00] curtain command install preparing for installation configuring storage running 'curtain block-meta custom' curtain command block-meta removing previous storage devices [06:10] jmazaredo, you could ask on #ubuntu-server ; I recall there are multiple images of server, some/one I believe have less hardware-modules (drivers) on it but I don't recall details.. [06:17] ok im trying now the old iso anyway thanks! [06:23] guiverc_d, i tried 16.04 and works just fine :D [07:13] Hey.

[08:47] it's a new installation and still doesn't work [08:47] lotuspsychje: vlc worked in the previous installation [08:48] sentiment: wich error do you get?

[08:51] is there no separation of concern in this OS? [08:51] I formatted the root partition, and that is what should matter as far playing mp3 is concerned, because it's a system function [08:52] what do you think I can do to make it work besides booting into Windows as I have done in the last two weeks? [08:53] sentiment: to test this, you could try booting a liveusb and see if you can play mp3 by default to compare with your current install [08:54] sentiment: is your system up to date also?
