[00:01] snowgoggles: It's uninstalled, and it upgraded my white underscore screen [00:01] qwebirc70595: is that good or bad? [00:02] snowgoggles: neither, it just means that now it says dev/sda6... above the corsor [00:02] cursor* [00:04] qwebirc70595: is this a dual boot system? [00:05] snowgoggles: There are 2 oesses on my computer, but I can't setup dual boot, I have to manually go into the bios and change the boot order to switch to win10 [00:06] you have a single hard drive? [00:07] snowgoggles: yup [00:08] qwebirc70595: is your bios set to uefi or legacy bios or both? [00:08] snowgoggles: it's a uefi [00:08] qwebirc70595: is there an option to have both active? [00:09] snowgoggles: Windows is it's own hard drive to the bios [00:09] qwebirc70595: off topic but you shouldn't have to switch your bios settings to multi boot [00:10] snowgoggles: ik, let's get back on topic [00:10] qwebirc70595: yeah i'm losing track of where we are. so 18.04 is installed and boots with nomodeset? [00:11] snowgoggles: nope, white underscore [00:11] ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 doesn't go to text login screen? [00:12] snowgoggles: alt-f2 does [00:12] snowgoggles: but it keeps failing login [00:13] qwebirc70595: fails login? how so... wrong user or password? [00:13] snowgoggles: i think I had the user and pass right [00:14] qwebirc70595: your not using a ubuntu server image for install are you? do you ever get gui? [00:14] snowgoggles: I'm not using the server image, and I did get gui before the drivers [00:15] qwebirc70595: ok..it be easier at this point to re-install and not install the prop amd driver just use the builtin driver. [00:16] snowgoggles: also I was trying to tell you about this forum post, this guy had the same problem as me, and fixed it by adding "video=SVIDEO-1:d in the config [00:16] qwebirc70595: i believe the builtin driver for your card should be called amdgpu [00:16] snowgoggles: doesn't work for me though [00:17] qwebirc70595: prob have to google troubleshooting amd rx550 amdgpu driver on ubuntu 18.04 [00:18] snowgoggles: I think I uninstalled that instead of amdgpu instead of amdgpu-pro... [00:18] i would stick with 18.04 for now since there is no proprietary amd driver for 18.10 from what i see online [00:18] snowgoggles, I would too [00:19] amdgpu-pro is the prop driver that isn't working for you easily. amdgpu is the ubu 18.04 builtin driver (open source and tested) [00:38] on ubuntu core (18), how can i enable login from the tty? [00:39] snowgoggles: I can't get anywhere, no matter what I install or uninstall. I feel like i'm just making it worse [00:40] qwebirc70595: you get gui with nomodeset? [00:41] snowgoggles: nope, it just shows logs, blinks five times, then gives me the white underscore [00:42] qwebirc70595: hmmmm not sure what else to try tonight [00:42] qwebirc70595: you have a live usb ubu installer? [00:43] snowgoggles: Can you get anything from this forum? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182244 [00:44] qwebirc70595: that's old and a different distro [00:44] snowgoggles: wait arch is a distro? [00:45] qwebirc70595: search for ubu 18.04 amd rx 550 amdgpu issues [00:45] qwebirc70595: arch linux yes a diff distro. not for linux noobs [00:46] snowgoggles: I feel like asking someone else [00:47] qwebirc70595: no one else here that's the prob [00:48] snowgoggles: imma try anyway [00:48] qwebirc70595: Bashing-om was here earlier [00:49] snowgoggles: is he still here? [00:49] qwebirc70595: dunno [00:50] snowgoggles: it actually says so [00:50] Bashing-om: are you here? [00:50] qwebirc70595: I back in .. I bounce around a lot :)) [00:51] Bashing-om: glad to know i'm not the only one [00:51] Bashing-om: can you help me with my amd problem? [00:53] Bashing-om: u there? [00:54] qwebirc70595: I can try .., my AMD experience is very limited .. and I have grave concerns that a fully supported card has issues booting a live environment. [00:56] Bashing-om: ya know how nomodeset dosen't work with amdgpu drivers? [00:57] Black screen when booting into ubuntu 18.04, more info at https://pastebin.com/QV9CN59u [00:59] qwebirc70595: That card rx550 - is fully supported . nomodeset should not have to be used . [00:59] Bashing-om not using it still gives me the black screen, even when installing [01:01] qwebirc70595: Have you verified the integrity of the install medium " check disk for defects" ? As i say .. the card should have no issues . [01:02] I downloaded the iso file from ubuntu's website, and put it on a usb stick with rufus [01:03] !md5sum | qwebirc70595 [01:03] qwebirc70595: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [01:04] qwebirc70595: Did you use the normal mode, or DD mode, in Rufus? [01:04] ubottu: I used normal mode [01:04] qwebirc70595: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:05] qwebirc70595: That's nearly guaranteed to cause issues. [01:05] qwebirc70595: Only use DD mode. [01:05] iosecure: thanks, imma try that [01:05] Normal mode mangles the crap out of the ISO's contents. [01:17] iosecure: I just put it o [01:18] iosecure: I just put it on dd mode and I still get the black screen with the install process [01:21] qwebirc70595: We want to *KNOW* the installer is consistent . Boot the installer and as soon as the bios splash screen clears depress the escape key -> language screen- escape key to accept - -> boot options screen -> "check disk for defects" . [01:24] Bashing-om: Imma try that [01:25] i just wrote a shell script but i can't execute it by double-clicking it in ubuntu 18.10's Nautilus. gedit always opens it instead. how do i fix this? [01:25] i always set the file to be executable in nautilus. [01:29] What is the extension [01:29] TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata, that's what the install disc outputted when you choose to install or check the disc for defects, the screen turned black after. Anyone recognise this? [01:29] If its .sh it should open in a terminal, run itself, then close [01:30] qwebirc70595: Then we backup and check that .iso file . md5sum should be good enough check . [01:30] xamithan: i want it to run silently without opening a terminal [01:31] xamithan: like a silent Windows BAT file [01:31] Hmm, I think you can make a shortcut to it with terminal=false or something like that [01:32] I do it with .desktop files [01:32] so i simply can't write a text file (without any file extension) and set it executable and double-click it to run from ubuntu 18.10's Nautilus? [01:33] Bashing-om: nvm nomodeset works for the install disk, not sure why [01:33] Nope, nautilus relies on the file extensions to tell it what type of file it is [01:33] Bashing-om: It said there was 1 error detected [01:33] Otherwise how would it know [01:34] xamithan: at the start of the file is "#!/bin/bash" [01:34] xamithan: i remember previously this is now Nautilus distinguishes between a text file and a script (plus the 'executable' attribute) [01:35] File extensions are not what determines file type in Linux. [01:35] it's magic! [01:35] simply: how do i double-click to run a script file in ubutnu 18.10's Nautilus now? [01:35] qwebirc70595: I say again ! that card should not require nomodeset . If it does then this is way over my skill set .. I would point to the installer as the fault . [01:36] * tomreyn means magic(5) [01:36] Welp iosecure knows it all maybe he can tell you a way [01:38] yao_ziyuan: Executing a script without spawning a terminal REQUIRES a .desktop file. [01:39] xamithan: iosecure is correct. Linux does not care about file extensions. Simply adding .sh to the end will not resolve anything. [01:39] iosecure: i remember previous ubuntu versions act differently [01:39] I never said it did, The file managers like nautilus do though ? [01:39] No. [01:39] xamithan: no [01:40] So how does it know if a file is to be opened as a picture vs a text file [01:40] xamithan: man 5 magic. See also the 'file' command. [01:40] yao_ziyuan: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DsxCjz6kV4/ [01:40] file type/MIME/interpreter [01:40] yao_ziyuan: That is the general structure of a .desktop file that will do what you want. [01:40] iosecure: ok i'll try [01:40] Ah ok, well either way I was still right about the .desktop file [01:41] iosecure: that would be a separate file from the script [01:41] I do mostly servers so ignore me on desktop stuff [01:41] iosecure: yao_ziyuan is right that you used to be able to specify which application or "run in terminal" in nautilus [01:42] I just got dc'd D: [01:42] leftyfb: It is quite apparent from a casual view that the .desktop file is separate from the script to be executed. [01:43] iosecure: not if you have to manually create .desktop files for each script you create and have them live some place in your filesystem [01:43] Bashing-om: I just got disconnected :( [01:43] I'm going to assume that you didn't actually look at what I posted, where there is a line explicitly to specify the script to execute. [01:43] So, yes. It is quite apparent. [01:44] yao_ziyuan: https://askubuntu.com/a/1052303 [01:45] iosecure: I know all about .desktop files and how they work. [01:45] yao_ziyuan: the link I posted will accomplish exactly what you are looking for [01:45] Can anyone help me with my problems booting ubuntu? I've been here all day and still haven't fixed it [01:46] succeeded! [01:46] yao_ziyuan: What ended up working? [01:46] iosecure: i made a .desktop file that executes a shell script file which in turn executes two .exe files with wine [01:47] why can't i just make a shell script file and double-click to run it from Nautilus now? [01:47] yao_ziyuan: look at the link I posted [01:47] i used to go that way previously [01:49] l/away [01:52] qwebirc68780: perhaps go through this tutorial: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#3 [01:54] qwebirc68780: I tell you the truth. Until that installer checks as " no errors found" amd you then re-install there is nothing we can do. [01:57] ok. i see. i have to configure it in dconf-editor. [01:57] thank you all! [01:58] Hi there, people. Complete shot in the dark, but does anyone here have any experience installing Ubuntu (or any distro at all) on an Acer Switch 3, or a similar "64-bit CPU, 32-bit UEFI" system? [01:58] yao_ziyuan: did it work? [01:58] Mort_: thats not your question [01:58] !detail | Mort_ [01:59] I'm sorry? [01:59] :/ [01:59] leftyfb: after configuring dconf-editor to allow nautilus to execute executable text files, i can double-click a shell script to run it directly from nautilus. the .desktop file is no longer needed. [02:00] do snaps have inherent advantages over deb files? [02:00] !details | Mort_ [02:00] Mort_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [02:02] Ah, I see. My apologies. I'll be back when I know what questions to ask. [02:02] Mort_: so yourself a favor and sell the hardware, buy something else instead. [02:02] *do [02:03] Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind once or twice in the last 48 hours. [02:05] Mort_: you can make it work, it's just a lot of fiddling thttps://medium.com/@realzedgoat/a-sorta-beginners-guide-to-installing-ubuntu-linux-on-32-bit-uefi-machines-d39b1d1961ec [02:06] What is root password? [02:07] !root | hihaar_ [02:07] hihaar_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:07] I am running kde on ubuntu 18.04. I want to know what the "+" sign means when I moved the mouse cursor over a file icon. Thanks. [02:07] Mort_: here is ubuntu related thread issues with Acer Switch 3 https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2403167 [02:07] Oh, wow. Thanks! How have I not come across that page yet..? [02:08] Thanks [02:08] ubuntu assumes by default that you're part of the sudoers group right [02:08] that would be weird if not [02:08] Thanks again, people. I will break this machine and make it do my bidding. :) [02:09] I have a machine on 18.04 and I am trying to get its syslog-ng to read from the socket at /run/systemd/journal/syslog so that systemd-journald can be set to Storage=none, but that socket doesn't appear to exist on this box. Google hasn't been much help yet, anyone have some pointers? [02:14] Ubuntu boots into a black screen. Can anyone help? I've reinstalled twice [02:15] After reading all the stuff you did earlier, I got no ideas on that [02:15] D: [02:17] TML: i've never done this, but systemd-journald.service(8) and journald.conf(5) seem to explain how to works. [02:17] I've looked everywhere, and the most logical solution I have is that the graphics card transfers through the wrong port [02:21] qwebirc68780: do you have another usb stick to try as the installer? [02:23] snowgoggles: I might try that [02:24] qwebirc68780: also as bashing was asking earlier did you check the md5sum of the downloaded ubuntu iso file against the download sites md5sum? [02:26] qwebirc68780: i don't use windows so i don't know what md5sum check apps are available on windows but ubuntu recommends this http://www.md5summer.org/ [02:27] snowgoggles: I'm trying the other usb stick [02:29] qwebirc68780: i would check the md5sum with the util above just to eliminate issues with the iso file [02:29] qwebirc68780: Verify the .iso /// garbage in equals garbage out. [02:30] qwebirc68780: complete instructions and an alternate to rufus here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/compressed-image_2_USB-or-SD === daniel is now known as Guest29326 [02:59] snowgoggles: md5summer didn't detect any errors on the iso, but the installer detected an error in one file on the usb stick [03:02] Anybody here? [03:06] qwebirc68780: md5summer should only output the md5sum. did you compare with the ubuntu website md5sum for the file? are they the same values? [03:07] qwebirc68780: error on the second usb stick? [03:10] snowgoggles: error on both [03:10] qwebirc68780: yeah that not good. this is via rufus? [03:12] qwebirc68780: are you for sure checking the md5sum values with the ubuntu download site and the file you downloaded? the values have to be the same to ensure the iso is good [03:14] snowgoggles: The hashes are the same, so it seems like the problem lies in rufus [03:15] qwebirc68780: looks like it especially after 2 usb sticks [03:15] qwebirc68780: try the other installer i mentioned in a link above [03:15] snowgoggles: so are there any alternatives to rufus? [03:16] snowgoggles: Win32? [03:16] qwebirc68780: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/compressed-image_2_USB-or-SD this is what ubu recommends [03:16] ignore the zip section [03:17] qwebirc68780: brb in 5 [03:24] Hello [03:24] I am having trouble making a bootable windows recovery usb drive with ubuntus startup disk creator [03:25] it will not recognize the .iso files i have [03:27] I also have tried dd, ddsecure both "finished creating" the drive but my PC is not recognizing it as bootable [03:27] I also tried unetbootin but i could not get it to run [03:28] /cry [03:29] TechMonger: have you succeeded live usb boot on that machine before? any linux distro? you may have a uefi secured bios setting to change [03:29] i have changed the bios settings [03:29] i have used a usb boot before [03:30] TechMonger: what were the bios options for secure boot? [03:30] i tried uefi with secure boot on [03:30] and legacy boot with it off [03:30] snowgoggles: The problem and the erre [03:30] snowgoggles: The problem and the error are still there [03:31] i have a ssd with windows that i cant get the recovery partition to work or windows to boot [03:31] i have a hdd with ubuntu on it that im on now [03:31] then i have my usb stick that i cant seem to make a win boot with [03:32] TechMonger: why do you say win boot? you want a linux usb live boot stick not win [03:32] no [03:33] im trying to make a windows recovery bootable usb [03:33] are you booted to the ubu system on the hard drive you mentioned? [03:33] im booted on a hdd with ubuntu installed [03:33] TechMonger: so your problem is not ubu but usb windows boot stick? [03:34] yea [03:34] im trying to make it with ubuntu [03:34] TechMonger: try the "etcher" software, it works most of the time and is easy to use. [03:34] hmm [03:34] TechMonger: not familiar with creating a win boot stick sorry [03:35] TechMonger: i don't think the ubu usb creator supports win sticks [03:35] tomreyn, apt install etcher? [03:35] snowgoggles, i figured as much [03:35] TechMonger: but IIRC windows requires you run some .exe file to create a 'legitimate' boot stick nowadays. which kind of is a hen and egg problem. [03:35] TechMonger: check out 'woeusb' [03:35] snowgoggles, i did try dd and ddsecure as well [03:35] The ISO is freely available from Microsoft's website. [03:36] tomreyn, so i need to make it on windows? [03:36] TechMonger: it's for creating windows drives [03:37] hmm [03:37] TechMonger: Windows 10? [03:37] i wish i had another win pc [03:37] yea win10 [03:37] https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.iso?t=58ed94e2-4dda-4b2d-a897-8317be63991f&e=1545536206&h=47ceb2deb2b2fd1f5f1a7789255c54da [03:38] Format the USB stick with a single FAT32 partition, and extract the contents of the ISO onto it. [03:38] TechMonger: how about creating a windows vm and try creating from the windows vm? [03:38] It should be that simple. [03:38] TechMonger: maybe, i don't know much about creating windows installer USBs. woeusb may work. maybe etcher, too. here's how to install etcher https://github.com/balena-io/etcher#debian-and-ubuntu-based-package-repository-gnulinux-x86x64 [03:38] iosecure, extracting the contents of the ISO is my problem [03:39] TechMonger: maybe if you could provide insformation on what exactly you are trying to write to the usb helping you may get easier [03:39] TechMonger: Mount the ISO file as a loopback device, and copy the files. [03:40] mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso [03:40] 'loop device', 'loopback' is a networking term [03:40] ducasse: Who cares? [03:44] https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/ states the file system needs to be ntfs [03:44] im trying the disk image writer utility that comes with ubuntu [03:44] The Windows 10 USB key in my hand right now that was made by the Windows utility is formatted FAT32. [03:45] ok, maybe it's just a limitation of woeusb then [03:46] i guess im going to try and boot from this [03:46] if im not back it worked [03:46] Odds are high that we'll see him again. I don't think Ubuntu's image writer will work in this case. [03:47] But I've been wrong before. [03:55] I'm currently on Ubuntu 16.04.5, looking to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 [03:55] But when I do "apt-get dist-upgrade", it says everything's up to date [03:56] Is there some special magic command I need to type to make it actually upgrade to 18? [03:56] Svelt0n: sudo do-release-upgrade [03:57] slidinghorn: nice, thx! [03:57] is there an email address for the maintainer(s) of paste.ubuntu.com? [03:57] I'd like to write a script to grab the contents of a large amount of specific pastes, but I'd like to double check if I'd be allowed to do so [04:00] thgilfodrol: try #ubuntu-website [04:03] ducasse: thanks! I'll check it out === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [04:27] Hello [04:28] hi Guest52007 [04:29] I have Ubuntu 18.04. in a SSD and Kali Linux in an HDD, the other when turning my PC on, Ubuntu would mount all HDD and USB to 'READ ONLY' mode, I have tried several examples from forums but nothing work, what could be wrong? [04:29] chmod +rxw or chmod 777 don't work [04:30] Guest52007: chmod changes file system objects, not how file systems are mounted [04:30] you may need to modify /etc/fstab [04:30] Guest52007: why would you chmod a system drive? [04:31] Guest52007: but then, this situation is quite unusual, you should try to find out how this happened in the first place. [04:31] maybe you're munting things incorrectly? [04:32] since you already modified file system objects using chmod, you may as well reinstall now unless you're able to undo those changes. otherwise you may now be running an inherently insecure system. [04:33] tomreyn, even in a liveUSB all drives are auto mounted Read Only [04:35] Guest52007: this can make sense, your restricted user shouldn't have permission to edit them unless it was granted to this user by root. [04:36] Guest52007: sounds like 18.04 is hosed by permissions...reinstall after copying your user files [04:37] Guest52007: in future never chmod a sys drive [04:43] I just chmod my Data HDD where other OS can access the data, I didn't chmoded the SDD where the main system is [04:43] Guest52007: which file system is there on the data hdd? [04:44] Guest52007: is there mount errors in dmesg? [04:44] They say (I'm forums) that Linux can't handle this problems, and need Windows, Wich is strange because at first gnime-disks said it was in an unclean state, like hibernation from Windows [04:45] can't help without details === Dreaman is now known as Blade [04:47] Ok, I have 1 SDD with Ubuntu, a HDD with Kali (I already deleted it because it messed up my GRUB) and a HDD for data storage, Ubuntu (or other liveUSB distro) can only mount my Data HDD and USBs in Read only mode [04:47] why? [04:47] What do I need to check for more info? [04:49] Guest52007: what format is your data drives in? [04:50] snowgoggles, NTFS/exFAT/HPFS (bootable) [04:51] Guest52007: that might be part of the read only prob [04:52] Guest52007: google read only on those formats when booting ubuntu [04:52] snowgoggles, how do I fix it?

[07:11] lotuspsychje: 4.18.7-041807-generic [07:12] Maybe something like 'uname -r' and I'd just grep the string after the last - out of it. But not sure how reliable that is. [07:12] lotuspsychje: driver=wl0 [07:16] Ah, even better idea: I should find the installed kernel package name and just replace 'image' with 'headers'. This way I always install the correct headers, even if the user pinned some kernel version [07:24] jtfidje: thats not bionics kernel [07:25] Had a lot of trouble with GPU, so have updated kernel to mainline [07:25] That solved the GPU issues, but the wifi issues have been there all the time [07:25] It's the same on my laptop... [07:26] jtfidje: in your case, i would try the bonic kernel -43 see if you get more stable wifi there, see also if bcmwl-kernel-source can help [07:27] lotuspsychje: Ok thanks - I will :-) [07:27] jtfidje: what kind of gpu is that and what kind of troubles did you have? [07:28] draget: can you explain a bit more of your end goal? what are you trying to do with kernels and why [07:29] GTX1060 and GTX1050 on desktop and laptop. The issue on the laptop was that if I connected external displays the laptop screen would freeze when coming out of sleep. There were also some other issues I can't remember. On the desktop I can no longer remember what the exact issues was. Sorry [07:30] jtfidje: for the gtx cards, we reccomend the ubuntu graphics ppa and perhaps driver 396 or 410, see if you get a more stable experience [07:31] jtfidje: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [07:31] lotuspsychje: Aah right. Thank you again [07:31] Hello, [07:31] I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS with kernel 4.19.10 on my machine. [07:31] yestarday I have installed another 32GB of RAM now in total 64GB of RAM (same vendor, same spec.), in BIOS i can see 65536MB of memory, but from OS htop only shows 62.8GB of memory, why OS is showing less than 64GB ? [07:31] lotuspsychje: The scenario was this: I created an automated ubuntu VM and wanted to automatically install virtualbox - which needs to build it's own kernel modules and needs the headers. I know which kernel is installed in this VM and could just choose the right linux-headers-XXX package in my script. But I would like to have a more robust/generic script that will also work if the kernel version/type is updated. Using a vagrant box I also realized that [07:31] this box had a specific kernel version installed which did not match the latest linux-headers-generic. [07:33] sb2: top reads in Gigibytes, rather than GigAbytes...so it will be a slight difference. [07:33] draget: specific kernel version, as in own compiled or something? [07:34] sb2: a gigIbyte is 2 to the 30th power (1073741824) bytes, whereas a gigAbyte is 10 to the 9th power (1000000000) bytes === Scotty_Trees is now known as chalkperson === chalkperson is now known as Scotty_Trees [07:36] lotuspsychje: No, just a fixed number. The box currently comes with linux-image-4.15.0-20 opposed to -43 being the current one. Not sure if you are familiar with vagrant boxes… but even if not, I'd generally just would love to have a script that is able to install the'right' kernel headers corresponding to which 'linux-image-*' package is installed. [07:40] slidinghorn, thank you for answering. does command "free" provide information in gigIbyte too ? [07:49] slidinghorn, I am asking because "free -g" command provides 62GB of total memory and "free -m" provides 64350 MB of total memory. [07:59] Hi there. I just connected a bluetooth joypad that I have occasionally used already in 18.10 but now it's recognised as a keyboard. Do you know if that's an option in ubuntu (or maybe the joypad can be turned on in different ways, who knows) [09:13] Hello there ! I have a card, similar to a RPi (NanoPi M4), and with the Ubuntu distro provided, I can only see one 5Ghz WiFi network, and even on this one, the quality is pretty bad [09:13] What can I do to check what might be wrong ? [09:20] Pymous: which wifi chipset is this? [09:21] you are probably supposed to attach an antenna but haven't? [09:23] ducasse : How do I found out ? [09:23] tomreyn : That's actually really possible [09:23] Let me check the box [09:25] Pymous: 'sudo lshw -c network' [09:28] ducasse : Thanks for the command, but it's a bit weird : Hardware ID : 7 [09:28] tomreyn : Actually, there is 2 ! [09:28] And it work perfectly, thanks ! [09:28] Totally passed those two when unboxing [09:29] Pymous: hehe, the sticks are only meant for eating when it's asian *food*. [09:30] :D [09:42] Hi All, im looking to get some help with a graphics card issue [09:45] I am getting screen tearing in ubuntu 18.04 and above with my nvidia card with the proprietary drivers. I have tried the drm.modeset=1 which worked previously [09:45] any guidance would be appreciated [09:45] is /run/user/1000 the place to put files i want to store in ram? [09:46] salty, how did you install them? script? [09:47] i used the conacial ppa and then did apt install nvidia390 [09:47] maybe try to use the prop drivers from nvidia website [09:48] i dont have an nvidia card here right now but used it previously successfully with 1080 cards [09:48] ah ok shall try, are there differences between the two? [09:48] yep, the install process is tricky [09:48] cool im using 1080 as well [09:49] salty2011: don't use the ones from the nvidia site, there is a ppa you should use [09:49] you need to drop to init ctl + f1 and stop user env ie lightdm, [09:49] then [09:50] then wget the drivers and run with root [09:50] salty2011: ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa i think [09:50] used it for mining back then, so ppa was not an option [09:51] @ducasse thats the ppa i was using to install and that worked, just getting screen tearing, tried using the drm.modeset option under modprobe.d [09:52] sthe nvidia driver might have a tearfree option like the intel driver, maybe someone else knows [09:53] try the drivers from the site but prepare the install carefully, worked flawlessly multiple times for me, last in july this year [09:54] hmm so dropping to init, is that stil ctrl + alt + backspace [09:54] we adcise against using the drivers from the nvidia site, for proper integration you should use the ppa [09:55] kubuntu 18.04.1 is 3 yrs support while ubuntu 18.04.1 is 10 yrs support ; what is the difference here? [09:55] @ducasse cool, shall take that onboard (was using ppa currently). However my issue that setting "Force Full Composition Pipeline" and or using drm.modeset=1 doesnt resolve teh tearing === SimonNL is now known as _SimonNL [10:03] Katnip: the kubuntu specific packages are only supported for 3 years, the core ubuntu server packages for 10 [10:04] seems that the core kubuntu would be 10 as well [10:05] Katnip: yes, but as i said not the desktop etc [10:05] such as plasma? [10:06] that's the desktop, yes [10:07] well, i'll update at 20.04 === capella is now known as capella|away [10:29] grep -rRo '/^(0x)?([A-Fa-f0-9]{64})$/' test why does this regex return nothing on a ethereum tx id? (0xcfe190154ed11838b8c42b28bc67a9ce4f38db24fa573eefb031f8c8ffc11a6f) for example [10:31] armu: please don't crosspost, it's rude and wastes people's time [10:31] ok === daniel is now known as Guest72752 [12:23] it takes 1-2 mins to boot up ubuntu from hdd, is that usual? [12:32] debouncer: usually it's like 30-40secs [12:46] debouncer, no, I wouldn't call that normal, but it really depends on your exact set up. [13:06] <^amra> Hi all, who had experience installing the OpenProject on linux or on the free hostings? [13:20] amra, This channel is really intended for support specific to Ubuntu. [13:24] Hi everyone [13:24] someone can help me? I have an issue with a folder, can access in but cannot execute ls command, it shows this error: ls: cannot open directory '.': Permission denied [13:25] also the permissions is undefined: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? share [13:28] FxK, sounds damaged... but, can you chown and chmod the dir? [13:29] Oh! Also, is that directory using a filesystem that supports permissions ( just in case it's some off filesystem ) [13:30] JimBuntu: sounds damaged to me too, but exists any way to recover it? Can't change permissions or owner (chmod - chown) [13:31] !recover | FxK , it really depends [13:31] FxK , it really depends: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [13:32] Does that directory really exist on your local system, or is it simply a remote mount? [13:37] <^amra> JimBuntu: I tried to install OpenProject on ubuntu and no luck [13:38] ^amra, i think there are alternatives in the official repos [13:38] ^amra, then maybe I am thinking of something different... I guess this isn't the OpenProject distro [13:38] oof, sorry, I think I was thinking of OpenLinux [13:38] !info redmine [13:38] redmine (source: redmine): flexible project management web application. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.4.4-1 (bionic), package size 1122 kB, installed size 9104 kB [13:40] My battery (dell m6700's) was 100 charged 2 weeks ago. I discharged and it never went above 60%, I just discharged to 14% and its not going above that now. These are the caps it seems. The batter can go down and charge up to these caps but not any further. Not even while computer is shut down. What can be done? What might be wrong? [13:42] Intelo, if it doesn't charge even while off, it's not really an Ubuntu issue... but it sounds to me like either the charge circuit in the laptop or in the battery pack is bad. [13:42] JimBuntu, hm or the battery life is over? [13:42] Intelo, do you have any other OS you can boot into to check charge levels or any other way, such as some batteries/systems have a button to display a simple idea via LEDs of charge level? [13:43] Intelo, that doesn't sound like battery life issue, as you aren't getting an increase in charge at all. Battery life issues normally manifest as a slowly progressing reduction in total capacity... not something where they refuse to charge. Although, most anything is possible [13:44] In Windows I had this app which with I could bind a keyboard shortcut combination to switch between audio outputs. I've found 'pactl' and 'pacmd' which seems to do what I want and I can make a bash script for that. I've found autokey-gtk which seems to be a port of AutoHotKey. I was just wondering of anyone knows of any other(or better) way to setup keyboard shortcuts. [13:45]
