[00:00] Sven_vB, modifying the EFI folder doesn't work [00:01] blackbird1, did you have problems renaming it, or did you rename it but it had no effect on the boot error? [00:03] Sven_vB, No joy :-( [00:03] Sven_vB, "no effect on the boot error" just a black screen with the cursor at the top left of the screen [00:05] Sven_vB, no error is displyed, just a black screen with the cursor at the top left of the screen [00:09] !nomodeset | blackbird1 Try : [00:09] blackbird1 Try :: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:30] i am trying to run sudo apt-get update but it gets stuck at the prompt where it goes to security.ubuntu.com (i pinged that IP and it connects just fine). I also googled this and some solution refers to disabling IPV6. I did this but it still gets stuck. Please advise [00:31] hey, i'm trying to get unattended-upgrades to send mail to my email using smtp thru mailgun but i'm not sure how? i tried using update-alternatives to link /usr/bin/mailx to /usr/bin/s-nail but i get the feeling all these instructions are out of date and it's just using sendmail directly instead or something [00:31] yetifur: i've had that happen and it was because my ISP sometimes gives my router incorrect IPv6 settings. [00:32] yetifur: did you try ping -4 and -6 both? === Guest61918 is now known as yorick- [00:33] @ryuo, yes.. in fact, went to /etc/gai.conf and edited it there but no dice. Its very odd because I can ping the IP's just fine from the command line. ...so it's reaching ok. [00:33] i don't mess with that file. any output you can share of what APT is saying? [00:33] @ryuo, and I see it cycles to several security.ubuntu.com's IP's.. [00:34] @ryuo, not very informative.. it just can't go anywhere.. [00:34] try this. [00:34] apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update [00:34] cheking.. [00:35] it's always possible that there's a transient network or service outage. [00:36] yetifur: can you post the output of this: pastebinit <(ping -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; ping6 -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; curl -sI4 http://security.ubuntu.com; curl -sI6 http://security.ubuntu.com;) [00:36] no dice. I see the IP is trying to connect to..so I do a Ctrl-C and ping that IP.. it connects just fine. THere must be soething else here. [00:37] tomreyn, sure.. one moment. [00:37] yetifur: in the future, i don't suggest messing with random files under /etc without knowing how to reverse it. [00:37] at least not without diagnosing the cause of your issue. [00:38] @ryuo, trial and error mate. And it was put back the way ti was. [00:38] Ok. [00:41] ashkitten: i think the supported way is to combine mailx with a locally installed mta such as postfix or exim. [00:41] tomreyn: what i'm seeing now is to replace sendmail with ssmtp [00:41] "link /usr/bin/mailx to /usr/bin/s-nail" sounds like a dirty hack to me. [00:42] tomreyn, err.. I get single prompt: '>' nothing more. After it typed 'pastebinit <(ping ..etc [00:42] yetifur: you'll have mistyped something, can you not copy + paste? [00:42] tomreyn: that's how it was before 18.04, with the heirloom-mailx package which did exactly that [00:43] @tomreyn, the host will not copy to the guest. I have to quit and come back inside the instance.. brb. [00:43] and they're gone. [00:44] its good to know what they were discussing a different system and that virtualization or containers were involved, though [00:44] s/what/that/ [00:45] ashkitten: seeing, where? yopu seem to be followeing some tutorials? [00:46] tomreyn: well, if unattended-upgrades uses sendmail, ssmtp also provides sendmail [00:46] the logical conclusion [00:50] I have installed wine repo, I want to build wine, so I uncommented deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list. Now when I try to `apt update` I get: `W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/source/Sources' as repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?)` [00:53] tomryn can you repost the command pastebin command? [00:54] @tomreyn can you repost the command? [00:57] yetifur: pastebinit <(ping -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; ping6 -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; curl -sI4 http://security.ubuntu.com; curl -sI6 http://security.ubuntu.com;) [00:57] yetifur: also tell us more about the virtualization or container configuration you have there [00:58] tomreyn: yep, worked [00:58] ashkitten: so it returned a URL this time? [00:58] tomreyn: i replaced sendmail with ssmtp and it sent the mail [00:58] @tomreyn running virtualbox on my laptop. Two VM's: Centos and Ubuntu [00:59] ashkitten: oops sorry mixed you up there [00:59] it's fine [00:59] ashkitten: glad you worked it out. ;-) [00:59] can apt be used onto https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/ this repo? [01:00] I can't make it work [01:00] protonmail seems to not be liking the emails i send it tho, gonna have to check that out [01:00] that repo has sources [01:00] unlike winehq repo [01:01] @tomreyn the network is bridged for both so I can get local IP's to ssh into my instances. The command you posted states that I am missing pastebinit but doing an apt install does not connect. [01:01] @tomreyn, using hexchat in Ubuntu right now, so connectivity = ok. I must be missing something else here... [01:02] I'd like to create a GPT partitioned UEFI bootable USB image that I can copy to an arbitrarily-sized USB stick. How does Ubuntu accomplish this? I can create the image, but when I dd it to my USB, fdisk complains about GPT problems, and it gets stuck in grub rescue. [01:03] I have added `deb-src https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04 ./` to `/etc/apt/sources.list` and now `apt update` tells me `W: GPG error: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04 ./ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DFA175A75104960E`, but the signature is right damnit there! [01:05] calamari: you shouldnt be using fdisk with gpt, use gdisk instead, as for the usb, make sure to install grub with the removeable media options [01:06] yetifur: do this instead: sudo apt -o 'Debug::Acquire::http=1' update 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:07] @tomreyn ahh sending the trace to termbin.com. One moment. [01:10] yetifur: and this: (ping -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; ping6 -qc3 security.ubuntu.com; echo; curl -sI4 http://security.ubuntu.com 2>&1; curl -sI6 http://security.ubuntu.com 2>&1;) | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:10] yetifur: if you are able to ssh into the guest system you are having trouble with then you shouold also be able to copy + paste to it [01:11] @tomreyn in order for me to ssh into ubuntu i have to install the ssh package and I can't do that because apt-get update gets stuck. [01:12] @tomreyn This is ubuntu 18.04 desktop. I am wondering if the server version is all I need. [01:12] yetifur: you mean the openssh-server package? i assumed this was already installed since you said "the network is bridged for both so I can get local IP's to ssh into my instances." [01:14] yetifur: when you refer to some system, please point out whether it's the host or guest system, i'm having trouble following. i was referring to the guest system. [01:14] @tomreyn I can ssh into Centos.. but not Ubuntu (i get denied).. so I am assuming sshd is not installed. [01:14] @tomreyn my guests are Centos/Ubuntu. Host: Windows Enterprise. [01:14] ssh server is installed on ubuntu server by default, not on ubuntu desktop [01:15] @tomreyn i see. Let me wipe out this .iso then. brb if i cannot ssh. Thank you for your help [01:17] this issue you're running into is a different one, though, probably a resolver or routing issue. but debugging it will be much easier if you can ssh into the system. [01:18] FreeBDSM: read the message again, apt lack the apt repository GPG signing key, and thus can't verify that the signature is correct (or not) [01:21] FreeBDSM: you'd need to "wget 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key' -O /tmp/wine.key', then ensure you trust /tmp/wine.key to sign this repository, then sudo apt-key add /tmp/wine.key [01:48] (thatlizdude) do you guys know if there are any plans to add fractional scaling in Ubuntu 18.04? I'm trying to set the scaling to 250% on 4k, 200% is too small, 300% is too big... [02:02] thatlizdude, gnome-tweak-tool can do that [02:02] !info gnome-tweak-tool [02:02] gnome-tweak-tool (source: gnome-tweaks): adjust advanced settings for GNOME - transitional package. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.28.1-1 (bionic), package size 1 kB, installed size 12 kB [02:02] is that like a hacky way that could be broken in future updates? [02:03] no, pretty common tweaktool [02:03] KDE would have it buildin [02:04] so is KDE better for higher res displays? [02:10] No, just saying this option would be standard , even application solely [02:10] https://i.stack.imgur.com/bvYXb.gif [02:11] oh yeah, I'm still able to install KDE without reinstalling right? [02:15] sure, one can add any desktop, and choose from login; removing a desktop can be interesting [02:16] why would removing it be a problem? [02:16] Hi folks, trying to install 18.04 on a laptop that currently has windows 10 on it (not trying to keep Win10, but I would like to keep the recovery partition just in case). I've tried from both USB and CD now; the partition screen is all jacked up. It doesn't list /dev/sda in the screen (but it does shot in in the 'install bootable partition' drop down) [02:18] Can anyone think of a reason it wouldn't show me sda? Some Windows self-preservation method? :) [02:21] Geo, use a usb to backup that install partition, using the windows tool, would be the safest way, so you can start really fresh. current install might have ExFat, you would need to boot into live session and install 2 files for support, else it might be an UEFI thing [02:22] exfat-utils and exfat-fuse [02:23] thanks man [02:24] Geo: what's the device in question? Some Windows 10 devices don't use SATA devices at all. [02:25] i've seen ones using MMC or even NVMe. [02:25] good spot === neunon_ is now known as neunon [02:27] i only really saw MMC in the bottom of the barrel x86 offerings though. [02:27] usually capped to 32 or 64 GB. [02:31] ryuo: an HP laptop [02:32] pavilion [02:32] Geo: can't be more specific? [02:32] how specific do you need? [02:32] Model # if you have it. [02:32] i'm using a probook 455 g5 myself. [02:32] No, b/c HP doesn't write model #s anywhere anymore [02:32] Not even the bottom? [02:32] nope [02:32] its a brand new one [02:32] Their business hardware at least still does that [02:33] Oh well. [02:33] no mod #, and the best part was no windows key [02:33] Are you at least able to boot the live CD? [02:33] I had to do some stupid powershell to get my own windows key off of it [02:33] but now I'm just whining [02:33] yeah, live CD works fine [02:33] fdisk shows the partitions fine [02:33] I can help you poke around for a storage device. [02:33] Oh. [02:33] So the issue is the partitioner doesn't show them? [02:33] Even new HP systems have that information on the bottom case. [02:34] The partitioner in the installer does not show it. It shows the USB stick, though [02:34] so, nothing for /dev/sda shows up? not even partitions? [02:35] no partitions, and no disk [02:35] * ryuo boggles. [02:35] but sda does show up in the 'install bootable partition' drop down [02:35] yet, you can run fdisk -l on /dev/sda from a terminal? [02:35] or windows is shutdown with fastboot, or it is nvme, or exfat [02:35] yes [02:35] fdisk should show something though [02:35] OerHeks: ooooh.... [02:35] you know what? [02:35] OerHeks: looks like gnome tweak tools doesn't support fractional scaling :/ [02:36] Because I couldn't get BIOS running, i selected the 'boot from other media' option in Win 10... would that do it? [02:36] Does Ubiquity even support installing to NVMe? I've never tried it. [02:36] OerHeks: honestly, you don't really need to keep the recovery partition since Microsoft provides ISOs you can reinstall Windows from if you really need to. [02:37] looking closer... sda3 is missing [02:37] err [02:37] Geo: ^ [02:37] its 'the big partition' [02:37] Geo: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO [02:37] or would be if it was there; 950GB or so, of the TB drive [02:38] ryuo: I was thinking the HP drivers might be in there as well [02:38] I did that a few years back, still never got all the 'little' pieces reinstalled [02:38] but maybe its better since then [02:38] Geo: You can get those from the web site afaik. [02:38] But if it's that important, you could also make a disk image. [02:38] thatlizdude, i could do 125% .. or 140% [02:38] yeah, just a pain to know which 30 different files you need [02:38] OerHeks: what resolution [02:39] that affects windows too [02:39] as i recall, there was no 'download this for everything' file [02:39] anyway [02:39] Did I miss a solution suggestion in there somewhere? [02:39] https://imgur.com/a/k9xvhlZ [02:39] Geo: well, it'd help if you pasted your dmesg. [02:39] k [02:39] So we can at least see how your storage devices are connected. [02:40] It's probably using UEFI, so it won't have partition specific locations like BIOS would. [02:40] (bootloader wise) [02:41] paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z5FGzf5cc2 [02:41] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z5FGzf5cc2 [02:41] OerHeks: yeah I didn't mean just fonts though [02:41] Ah. I think I see why you have an issue. [02:41] GPT: Use GNU Parted to correct GPT errors. [02:42] The kernel is complaining about the disk's label. [02:42] Weird. [02:42] i upgraded my personal server from 16.04 -> 18.04, and the $HOME/.ssh/ssh_auth_sock file is now owned by root:root instead of me:me which is keeping me from using agent forwarding [02:42] The numbering is weird too. There's no 3? [02:43] i've only seen that with DOS/MBR labels with logical partitions. [02:43] i don't seem to be able to chown it either [02:43] infogulch: did you try doing that as root? regular users can't use chown. [02:43] yes, sudo chown [02:44] a1 = EFI System, a2 = MS reserved, a4 = MS recovery, a5 = MS basic data [02:44] it doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work either [02:44] 3 is missing, correct [02:44] and that is the 'big' partition [02:44] it looks like your table may have been corrupted. [02:44] Windows boots fine though [02:45] Hm. [02:45] amazing, right? :) [02:45] i'm comparing directly to a pre-upgrade clone of my server [02:45] maybe create sd3? [02:45] Geo: did you check for BIOS updates? [02:45] er, sda3 [02:45] No - damn thing boots so fast I can't get into it :P [02:46] You can do those from Windows... [02:46] Oh, cool [02:46] Or, you can use windows to get into the firmware. [02:46] I'll try that [02:46] Truth is, some modern HPs are able to update BIOS from the BIOS using the ethernet NIC, if you have one. [02:46] My ProBook 455 G5 has this capability. [02:47] Most of my Linux issues were fixed by the BIOS update from August I got. [02:48] no bios option i can see [02:48] (back in windows) [02:48] Geo: did you try going to HP's website to see if their software finds an availabel update? [02:49] If nothing else, it's good to use latest BIOS because of possible fixes for issues you may encounter. [02:49] i thought you said windows could do it :P [02:49] sure [02:49] looking now [02:49] It can, but using software provided by HP [02:49] yeah, just messin with you [02:49] >.> [02:49] I find its good practice to taunt those helping you [02:49] really helps the process along [02:49] Right... [02:50] some fancy hp models have a hdd lock in the bios [02:50] password protection you mean? [02:50] I think that was an option for this ProBook but I didn't opt for it. [02:51] I installed my own SSDs to replace the crappy HDD they shipped with it. [02:51] jups, heavy managment, though you would not need to type it in during boot [02:51] I guess I'm weird. I got a customized HP through their web store. [02:51] A lot more options than the regular stores. [02:53] "i lost the coupon for this model" [02:53] lol. [02:53] I just preferred getting a built to order laptop. It takes longer but worth it if you're particular. [02:59] still here,just updating [02:59] model is 15-cs0064st btw [03:01] fun fact, ctrl-alt-s pops up a system window with that info [03:03] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1095628/when-installing-ubuntu-on-my-new-hp-pavilion-15cs0064st-the-installation-type-i [03:03] is your hdd in raid ? === mkv is now known as m4v [03:04] wow it even gives screenshots what happens when you change to AHCI [03:09] ok, bios updated [03:10] that's the first step for any new PC, honestly. [03:12] in the windows partitioner, the 'missing' partition shows as ntfs [03:12] Geo: did you reboot for BIOS update? [03:12] yes [03:13] ok [03:13] Interesting. [03:14] Found your model's service manual [03:15] ok, got into bios [03:16] Heh. Seems that BIOS update was mainly for: "Provides support for Windows 10 v1809." [03:16] Anyway. [03:17] legacy support disabled... do i need that? [03:17] only if you intend that booting method. [03:17] to use* [03:18] The only one you may need to disable is secure boot, but you were able to boot before... [03:20] yeah, nothing changed... bumped usb up in the boot order to skip any windows loading, still the exact same screen [03:21] boot in live mode, open terminal: fdisk -l [03:21] i hope you checked AHCI/raid setting in the bios too [03:22] sda3 shows up this time in fdisk... [03:22] It could be that parted won't detect it because of that partition issue. [03:22] Could the BIOS update have helped? [03:22] *shrug* [03:23] OerHeks: what a I checking? [03:23] ...other than I don't see anything [03:24] hdd controller mode [03:24] It's probably AHCI. IDE mode isn't use anymore. [03:24] this post mentions raid mode, often a cause for ubuntu not to see hdd https://askubuntu.com/questions/1095628/when-installing-ubuntu-on-my-new-hp-pavilion-15cs0064st-the-installation-type-i [03:25] but if you see a partition it should be fine, unless it says exfat [03:25] Hello! [03:26] none of that [03:26] so what the hell now, heh [03:27] What? [03:27] go use the whole disk, and forget the partition, you can always download the iso with microsoft [03:28] I can't even do that [03:28] sda doesn't show up as an option [03:28] at all [03:28] then i guess it is raid. [03:28] I have a theory but i've been ignored. [03:29] * ryuo shrugs. [03:30] the partition thing? [03:30] It's gone [03:30] the error [03:30] I see. [03:30] Well, if Ubuntu won't detect it... [03:31] Hm. [03:31] nol i take that back, its there [03:31] I don't normally recommend it, but there's another way to install Ubuntu. [03:31] grep'd the wrong term, sorry [03:31] Oh. [03:31] so how would I use gpt to fix this? [03:32] No idea. I've never seen the error before. If I were you, i'd nuke the disk label and start over. [03:32] haha [03:32] But that depends on how attached you are to the existing contetns. [03:33] It appears to be complaining that the backup GPT label is not present. [03:33] That may be why parted doesn't "see" it. [03:35] ok, ran it and repaired... lets try again [03:36] victory! [03:36] you can do the 'i told you so dance' now, if you like ryuo [03:37] I see. So it was parted being overzealous. [03:37] :D [03:37] Geo: fyi, the other install method I was talking about was the manual method I have used before. [03:37] debootstrap. [03:37] now we're back in charted waters. All looks good now [03:37] yeah... pass on that haha [03:37] it offers installation options that ubiquity cannot provide currently. [03:38] But, it requires a skilled hand to pull off, so it's not for everyone. [03:38] I used it to get Ubuntu running on ZFS root. [03:39] Before that I was using it to do the same on my Debian server. [03:39] Geo: i don't advise it if you're not comfortable doing all your partitioning, formatting, etc, yourself. [03:40] whatever it is that's specific for your install. [03:41] is the rule of thumb still 2x memory for a swap drive? [03:42] w/e floats your boat. [03:42] i don't use swap anymore. [03:42] I struggle to use the 16G I have. [03:43] I'll be running VMs on here [03:43] interesting google answers coming back on this [03:43] then why didn't you go for more RAM? [03:43] unless you mean containers. [03:44] i don't have swap, do have 32GB ram, run VMs and stuff [03:45] once you run out of ram, swap or not, things are bad [03:45] and swap isn't a substitute for physical RAM. [03:46] VMs require you to reserve a slice of RAM for the duration of their lifetime. [03:47] part of why I prefer containers if I'm just going to run Linux software... [03:49] Geo: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06165629 [03:49] at some point you may want to opt for the full 16G. I'm using mine with that. [03:51] I sit right now with 50% utilization and that's with some RAM hungry stuff running. [03:51] * ryuo shrugs. [03:56] ok well i fixed it by changing the owner of the symlink target in /tmp/ssh-xyz/agent.123 and it's parent directory to myself to match the setup in my previous environment. not sure why it was changed to root during the upgrade but there it is [03:58] aaaand installer crashed [03:59] Geo: sorry to hear that. [04:01] i've never had an install problem before... so weird [04:01] crashed a 2nd time [04:02] 'error copying files to hard disk' [04:02] I wonder if I have a bad disk, hence the earlier issues [04:14] when my computer says- Hard disk failure is imminent -which hdd is it talking about? it only shows me one of the two here's the screenshot http://bayimg.com/lanhbAAgC [04:15] klu3: there's no way to tell from the limited information. you should check the SMART of both. [04:15] 1st Drive shows western digital which is my ubuntu os, 2nd Drive shows blank, that's where my other data is [04:16] ideally from livecd, as continued writing may make this worse. [04:16] ryuo: where do i check that, the ubuntu program? [04:17] klu3: smartctl can get that, but it has to be run from a terminal. [04:17] oh i already back it up took one hour but i back it up so im safe, was just curious [04:17] ok ty will try [04:17] with -a [04:18] if you want help interpretting the results, come back here with the output. someone can probably look at it. [04:18] Geo: no idea. check SMART? [04:19] Geo: though, this is why i sometimes wipe the disks... residual data can do a lot of weird stuff. [04:20] yeah, just finished manual format [04:21] eh... not what I meant, but... anyway. [04:21] should bootloader go on sda, or sda1 (my / partition)? [04:21] for UEFI, it'll go wherever your ESP is. [04:21] klu3, i would guess the 2nd, as it fails to read any identifier for that disk [04:22] and what does that mean, exactly? [04:22] Geo: EFI System Partition. It's the one partition that has to be formatted with VFAT. [04:22] (aka FAT12/16/32) [04:22] so a partition, not the disk [04:22] Yes. [04:23] hmm [04:23] could it be the / partition? I feel like I've done that before [04:23] ... No [04:23] root partition cannot be the ESP. [04:23] Namely because VFAT is not a unix compatible filesystem. [04:24] It was created for MSDOS, after all. [04:26] Geo: you're probably confusing it with /boot partitions, a different concept. [04:26] damnit. I keep getting the same error over and over. [04:26] dmesg say anything? [04:27] If it was a hardware issue i'd expect a lot of ATA or other IO errors. [04:28] Geo: ok, well, if the installer is still giving you trouble... there's always the last resort method that might work. [04:29] running fsck right now, i'll check dmesg in a moment [04:30] zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt [04:30] maybe I need a new iso [04:30] https://askubuntu.com/questions/65830/errno-5-input-output-error-when-trying-to-install [04:30] Could be. [04:32] yep, hash is off [04:32] son of a [04:32] Not rare. [04:32] How* [04:33] $ md5sum ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [04:33] 02c5d946778e232ed029ff646a7e6aec ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [04:33] from web: f430da8fa59d2f5f4262518e3c177246 *ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso === capella|away is now known as capella [04:34] ryou: thank you for that smartctl program it shows everything i need to know about the hdd including the sata version, it looks like sata3 6Gb/s but only using 3Gb/s, and comparing the two hdd it seems the other one have 3 errors log the other one didnt have any [04:34] WoC: figured as much, thanks for confirming [04:35] klu3: i doubt that detail matters. HDDs can't saturate SATA very well. [04:36] im going to test it on another computer with latest hardware see if it use 6Gb/s like its suppose to, well im off thnx for the help guys [04:37] ... why do they fixate on the version of SATA it actually uses? it doesn't matter much for HDDs. [04:38] i've never seen one exceed 150-180 MB/s [04:38] version 2 can easily handle that. [04:38] * ryuo shrugs. [04:56] Can you hotplug a display in Ubuntu 16.xx? On same gfx deviece [04:57] or will everything break [04:58] I dare say it depends on which device [04:58] Nvidia card using default display drivers [04:58] but then again i'm not quite BrickedInTheHead [04:59] often it should work, some hardware could demand plugin before boot [04:59] 3 [04:59] 4 [04:59] But, im thinking it should work [05:00] if it does not respond in 5 sec, go into settings [05:01] ]63 [05:01] gentle smash on the side [05:01] Thanks. I'll try when I dont have any tasks open [05:15] for those of you playing along at home, a new iso appears to have done the trick [05:19] :-) [05:50] coi rodo [05:50] I've got a problem. [05:50] ask it in the channel Vivit [05:51] I'm typing :p [05:51] I just installed lubuntu on a macbook, and I'm trying to get the wifi working, but all the advice I find online asks me to use apt-get, which is obviously useless to me since I don't have internet access in the first place (no ethernet port) [05:52] howdy folks [05:52] i need help with my ubuntu box [05:53] ask your question to the channel please Mcl0vin [05:53] I think something is broken bad https://pastebin.com/A3YssTuW [05:53] Vivit: first of all, it would be nice to get access on a working ethernet connection to update your system to latest, maybe wifi will work then [05:54] I said I didn't have an ethernet port. [05:54] a macbook without an ethernet port? [05:55] lotuspsychje: just like Apple new car...no windows :P [05:55] yep. [05:57] What I'm looking for is a .deb I can download, transfer via flash drive, and install manually. [05:57] usb ethernet adapter? [05:57] Vivit: whats your wifi chipset please? [05:58] Mcl0vin: i would first clean your system, before doing the lts upgrade [05:58] Broadcom BCM4360 [14e4:43a0] [05:58] Mcl0vin: you need 14.04 to 16.04 i presume? [05:58]
