[02:31] Happy New Year, Ubuntu'ers! xD === capella|away is now known as capella [03:48] how's it going tonight? [03:48] I was hoping I might find some help configuring screen sharing on my 18.04 box. [03:48] if anyone is out there. [04:22] Hi, I'm trying to connect to a smb share via the GUI 'Other Locations' option in the file browser. When I enter the URL, I can see shares available but when I give a user/pass for one, it just keeps prompting me over and over to log in- I can't actually view the shares. This "used to work" (tm) [04:22] Any idea where to start looking to troubleshoot? [04:23] On the server, auth.log shows "smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody" [04:23] which isn't the user I'm presenting [04:25] Geo, how are you connecting? [04:25] What file browser? [04:26] The 'normal' one? [04:26] I'm not sure what else to call it... mabye nautilus? [04:26] The file browser that comes with the desktop version [04:28] Ok, yeah, nautilus. [04:30] So, any thoughts? [04:30] Geo, try ctrl-l in nautilus, then type smb://location [04:31] I don't use nautilus, so that's my $0.02 [04:31] Yeah, that's what I'm doing [04:36] And it asks you for your user and pass? [04:49] #gentoo [04:50] sry [05:05] AndyChow888: yes [05:06] Geo, and you enter the user of the user on the samba share server? Not the one on your client? [05:07] Or, alt, you've set up your samba conf on the server so that your user is known? Because "nobody" sounds like there is no handshake at all, and the samba server doesn't get the user name. [05:09] yep [05:10] the server has worked before, this is a new laptop that isn't working as a client [05:11] Well, if you're connecting to a server, you are a client. [05:11] But, I'm out of options. Have you tried mounting from a terminal? [05:14] Nope [05:14] Not sure how to do that [05:16] Geo, open a terminal, some of the -o are optional. As sudo, create a mountpoint "/mnt/mountpoint", then, as sudo, " mount -t cifs //SERVER/sharename /mnt/mountpoint -o username=username,password=password,workgroup=workgroup,iocharset=utf8,uid=username,gid=group" [05:17] Just "sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.15 /mnt/samba -o username=andy,password=123" should work, or similar. [05:18] I'm assuming things here, but you can probably read between the code. [05:19] yep thanks [05:44] Is there any reason ubuntu (server or desktop) would expect trouble installing on a 2nd gen threadripper platform? [05:45] I can boot into memtest and run for hours. I've installed windows and ran updates and ran cinebench and it's doing seti@home right now at 100% cpu. But if I try to install ubuntu from a flash drive it's like it overheats or something [05:45] it gets into the text installer on ubuntu server and after a minute the cursor starts blinking slow and then it hangs [05:46] on ubuntu desktop I can boot into the live OS and open a browser but eventually it hangs [05:46] not really sure how to diagnose it [05:47] Why aren't more recent devices being supported for ubuntu touch? === capella is now known as capella|away === Comnenus is now known as Comnenus_ === Comnenus_ is now known as Comnenus [06:11] anybody know how to get ubuntu to boot on a mac getting error pictured at top of this page: https://medium.com/@maniac.tw/linux-bug-modsign-couldnt-get-uefi-db-list-14a014b7ed54 [06:12] Didn't see a Mac Image available for download anywhere, does anyone have one of the mirrors?

[07:26] (it's good practice to make sure everything is fully up to date before performing an upgrade) [07:29] SlidingHorn: yes i did both sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [07:31] i have the dist-upgrade/main.log [07:33] anoopd: take a look here: https://askubuntu.com/a/360448/474173 [07:36] SlidingHorn: Pretty long list https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xjXJ9wc7ST/ [07:36] should i uninstall all those ?

[07:38] yes i think [07:38] i am a mac user just switched to ubuntu [07:38] you *might* need to start with removing those packages, disabling the PPAs, and trying from there...not sure [07:39] how can i get the list of 3rd party ppas [07:40] there's also this answer on AU: https://askubuntu.com/a/1047189/474173 [07:41] shall i go for a fresh install ? [07:41] keeping the home directory [07:43] that's also an option - I'd be sure to have a good backup just in case, though === newbenwardy is now known as rubenwardy === Katnip- is now known as Katnip [09:19] Happy New Year 2019 [09:35] I'm trying to setup a multi-boot USB disk that loopmounts Ubuntu family ISO installation media, and I'm having issues with the actual installation portion of the process. It boots up fine, but then complains about /dev/sdb (or similar) has mounted partitions and offers/tries to unmount them. [09:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples provides some documentation on this, but it's old. Very old. [09:54] my icon bar disappears after a while. alt-F2 restart brings it back. what causes it to disappear? [10:11] hi, any easy tuts, to upgrade from 12.10 to 16.x (lts ) ? [10:12] honestly don't bother - back up your /home directory, install fresh, then reinstall the apps and copy the home directory backup back again (this will preserve your settings) [10:13] znull: "tuts?" heh. There's no "easy" upgrade path from a non-LTS. You'd have to upgrade to 13.04, 13.10, 14.04, then finally 16.04 [10:13] aka don't bother [10:14] rory, Psi-Jack well its some postfix,dovecot server, [10:15] Sounds like rebuilding it anew and repointing stuff to the new would be better. [10:15] only ubuntu packages, so would be easier to apt-get upgrade everything, since the server is in datacenter. [10:16] yeah but "apt-get upgrade" only updates packages within the current version of the distro [10:16] it doesn't upgrade between ubuntu releases, for that you want do-release-upgrade... except you should seriously consider a fresh install [10:18] ok, than fresh vps [10:22] znull: you can upgrade in-place via a chroot, as in, use debootstrap to create a new 18.04 chroot, copy the config across (manually - updating to new syntax) and even run/test from the chroot (on non-standard ports) [10:23] TJ-, well its a openvz server, not sure if 18.04 would work [10:23] znull: oh, sorry, I mis-read... so 16.04 then === daniel is now known as Guest29209 === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [11:03] Hello? [11:09] hey if I dd a peppermint iso image to a usb pen drive will that be enough to boot and load or I need rufus if I'm on windows 10 [11:20] MiguelPeru: it depends on the peppermint iso, most likely you dont need anything else [11:24] EriC^, could be ah, or with rufus? what happens with this formaters and usb bootable apps do they change a lot of things to the iso finale [11:28] any1?> [11:34] MiguelPeru: i think they install some kind of bootloader other isolinux or something === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [11:34] EriC^, true i remember now [11:34] MiguelPeru: make a loop of the iso and there are 2 partitions and one is a fat32 then it's probably dd-ready cause that'd be the uefi loading part [11:35] *if you make [11:35] making a loop of the iso? what is this? [11:36] sudo losetup -f /path/to/iso [11:36] uefi on fat32? [11:36] EriC^, l [11:36] k* [11:36] then type "lsblk" it should show up, then do sudo partprobe /dev/loop0 or whatever number it is [11:37] and check the partitions with "sudo parted /dev/loop0 print" or something [11:38] EriC^, you said there [11:38] 'll be 2 partitions one dd ready the other the bootloader? [11:38] yeah it'll be 2, one a tiny fat32 [11:39] not one dd ready [11:39] i meant the dd-ready iso will usually have 2 partitions, 1 small fat32 (so uefi mode can boot) and another bigger one with the live usb [11:44] I'll dig it [11:53] how is everyones new year? [11:54] do people actually use deluged on 18.04? the entire daemon script seems broken.... [11:54] no error message, the daemon wasn't started at all and no pid file [11:55] not looking to fix that manually. if nobody is using it i'll just try other bt daemon [11:56] transmission is life imho [11:56] but i need socks5 proxy through VPN. the proxy config in transmission server seems ignored [11:57] it functions normally though [12:00] Is the config in the right place? [12:03] do I have to remove all partitions from the usb drive before dding to it from the ddready iso [12:04] no [12:04] DD overwrites partition table [12:05] that is why when you dd from terminal you use /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 for example [12:05] the number after sda specifies partition. [12:05] Same rule applies to all the GUI tools that use dd, they overwride the whole partition table [12:06] ttd, I wasn't sure of anything, just checking [12:06] Great. :) Just explaining [12:06] ttd, nice u know ur stuff [12:09] uu, freecad has refreshed their website it looks like [12:09] i installed ubuntu on mac, after it boots and just before it start gnome-shell, the whole system freezes, any idea? [12:10] ice9: do you have Nvidia card in your mac? [12:10] but for starters, just to boot on and see what works and not, in Grub menu press "E" and at the end of the line that starts with "linux" add "nomodeset" [12:10] there is a app to connect irc on linux? [12:11] badSophia: like a hundred [12:11] best popular? [12:11] depends what you are looking for. Customization, integration, simplicity... [12:11] temrinal/gui [12:12] why i can’t connect irc with xchat? [12:12] you can [12:12] you are just doing it wrong, i assume [12:12] bash : xchat command not found [12:12] erm [12:12] install it [12:12] how? [12:12] and then launch [12:12] sudo apt-get install xchat [12:12] thanks [12:13] if you want something simple, I would recommend Polari. Especially if you are using Ubuntu 18.04+ [12:13] I love it's simplicity and how nicely it goes with whole Gnome 3 [12:13] polari [12:14] ah how can i install it? [12:14] same principe. [12:14] Honestly, just open Ubuntu Software store [12:14] sudo apt-get polari install? [12:14] Go to applications and there is Ubuntu Software [12:14] badSophia: yes. But I recommend using Ubuntu Software. There you can even find new stuff you didn't know you need :D [12:14] ah [12:15] :) [12:15] capital is P? [12:15] or p? [12:15] ttd, AMD i think [12:17] the best wishes for 2019 to all ubuntu fans [12:17] ice9: same story tbh. Add nomodeset in grub(if more questions, google it, there are heaps of guides) and then open Additional Drivers and install them [12:17] badSophia: does not matter [12:17] ah ok [12:17] :) [12:17] ttd, i'm using nomodeset already otherwise it would show blank screen, my problem is after booting [12:18] ttd, i cannot reach the desktop environment at all [12:18] badSophia: in linux terminal world, only time you have to worry about capitals is when specifying directory/file locations, cause EXT4 is case-sensitive [12:18] ah directory and file location [12:18] :) [12:18] thanks [12:18] ice9: hmmmm.... can you get to TTY? That is when it does not boot but you press ctrl+alt+f2 [12:19] or F3 [12:19] or any other F tbh [12:19] :D [12:19] ttd, it doesn't work [12:19] ice9: ok. You are using 18.04? [12:19] ttd, 18.10 [12:19] and what is the macbook year? [12:19] ttd, 2011 [12:21] ttd, i was able to boot and run ubuntu from the live stick with gui, but after installation this happened [12:21] ice9: OK I found that it's an issue, here is a guide for 14.04 but the same thing will apply, I assume [12:21] https://orville.thebennettproject.com/articles/installing-ubuntu-14-04-lts-on-a-2011-macbook-pro/ [12:22] or try ading these pernel parameters [12:22] i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.modeset=1 i915.lvds_use_ssc=0 [12:23] but I assume you might just need to get rid of AMD card a in the guide, because Apple routes their hybrid graphics differently than other hybrid graphcs laptops [12:27] and you are not loosing much btw, the card is a ticking time-bomb anyway [12:27] what do you call the screen after grub but before login page [12:27] eraserpencil1: splash? [12:28] eraserpencil1: splash; if you mean the one with the ubuntu logo [12:28] yes [12:28] eraserpencil1: the ubuntu loading logo with moving dots [12:28] eraserpencil1: you encounter an issue there? [12:28] thats the one [12:28] i have like a one to two minute long splash screen on a week old alienware m15 laptop. [12:29] eraserpencil1: tell us more, I am intrigued [12:29] from boot to grub was very fast, from login to the desktop is very fast... [12:29] eraserpencil1: press F1 to change to the text loading, so you can see on wich error you are stuck [12:29] ^ yep, do that and tell us what it gets stuck on. [12:30] and is it on 18.04 or 18.10 [12:30] 16.04 [12:30] oh no [12:30] u need nwer kernerl [12:30] 8th gen cpus and NVME drives are not well supported on 16.04 old kernels [12:31] pfffftttt [12:31] but first see, with pressing F1 - maybe its just systemd getting stuck or smth. [12:32] alright [12:32] let me switch out [12:32] thanks [12:32] eraserpencil1: you should honestly be fine but I remember that recent kernels had large improvements in stability with NVME drives and 8th gen cpus. But I am quite sure you CAN run 16.04 fine [12:32] but with 18.04 i woudl assume there would be no problems out of the box, but that just me [12:33] i have a whole host of problems actually [12:33] can i ask - why 16.04? [12:34] I have a project on ROS Kinetic (ROS for 16.04) and havent really ported over to ROS Melodic (ROS for 18.04) [12:36] F1 is a blank black screen === eraserpencil2 is now known as eraserpencil1 [12:38] eraserpencil1: you can try to edit grub and edit "quiet splash" to "" [12:40] what does it do? [12:41] eraserpencil1: it removes the ubuntu splash screens and everything [12:41] eraserpencil1: it changes to permanent text booting instead of the logo [12:41] lotuspsychje: but I have a feeling that it will still be blank [12:41] this is to help me debug why it's taking so long right? [12:42] ttd: depends what happens on his system [12:43] eraserpencil1: can you boot until the login screen? [12:45] it's /etc/default/grub right? [12:46] eraserpencil1: right [12:46] eraserpencil1: try adding "verbose" as well [12:46] thats a lot of hustle tbh [12:46] eraserpencil1: dont edit it, just take those parameters out in grub menu(that does it only for one boot) and add verbose [12:47] ttd: fair enough, if you want more debugging, use "debug ignore_loglevel" instead of verbose [12:47] eraserpencil1: ^ [12:47] i am an login screen [12:48] eraserpencil1: if you reach desktop, you can also debug with systemd-analyze blame [12:49] EriC^: could help me with more verbosity, i need more dumbed down steps [12:49] so which should i try first [12:49] okay im at desktop , will go with systemd-analyze [12:50] yes, systemd analyse first. i forgot about it [12:50] eraserpencil1: if you already logged in, try systemd-analyze plot > /tmp/boot.svg [12:50] and upload the file somewhere and paste the link [12:51] btw, i changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to "", saved it, but still observed a splash screen [12:51] eraserpencil1: you need to run "sudo update-grub" so the changes take effect [12:51] eraserpencil1: because you have to then update grub [12:52] ha... okay [12:52] that is why I suggested to do just grub menu edit for troubleshooting, less hassle [12:53] EriC^: is it okay if i did a nc termbin.com instead of /tmp/boot.svg [12:53] yeah that should work [12:54] if it expects an actual file you could use systemd-analyze plot >(nc termbin.com 9999) [12:54] https://termibin.com/dkin [12:54] oops [12:55] svg it's an image [12:55] no worries ioria [12:55] https://termbin.com/dkin [12:55] again [12:55] wget -O /tmp/boot.svg https://termbin.com/dkin && xdg-open /tmp/boot.svg if you wanna see it [12:56] use http: rather than https in ^ [12:56] yp [12:57] looks like it's taking 3mins to boot [12:57] what magic are you weaving [12:57] 3 minutes? that long? linux has improved my patience..

[13:04] but I agree, all services look like taking way longer they should(which I think is kernel problem tbh) [13:05] eraserpencil1: whats your cpu, ram and harddisk specs like?

[13:07] eraserpencil1: what is your partition setup? [13:09] roughly [13:10] eraserpencil1: try booting with the kernel parameters "debug ignore_loglevel" instead of quiet splash maybe it'll show what's going on more as it happens [13:10] can you do "lspci | grep Network" for me, please? Just curious [13:10] with those specs, nothing can lag right? [13:11] for me on pretty much the same h/w ubuntu boots slowly, but not 3 minutes. [13:11] on ssd ttd ?

[13:12] On the SATA SSD, i have 250 gb for windows. Now for the remaining 250gb, it's showing as free space in Disks, but i once tried a minimal install but gave up. that partition is showing in grub, but not on disks [13:13] ttd: Intel Corp Device 2526 (rev 29) [13:13] you dont have driver for network. its the killer wireless, yes?

[13:15] eraserpencil1: yeah [13:15] i've a feeling it might be network related as well [13:15] ttd: alot of network lag indeed on his critical chain [13:15] well, I have bluetooth and wifi failing twice so far at boot. consistently giving problems is the keyboard actually [13:15] lotuspsychje: I think there is even a problem with initating the kernel module [13:17] eraserpencil1: if willing try this solution for wifi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038242/no-wifi-option-on-ubuntu-18-04-and-16-04#1038807 [13:17] i dont have wifi issues for now [13:17] eraserpencil1: systemd analyze says you do [13:17] lol [13:17] i mean network load times [13:17] eraserpencil1: yes, wifi might technically work but the kernel module cant actually properly manage the card [13:17] EriC^: what do i look for ?
