[00:04] Question, how can I find out what error cause my root filesystem to mount as read only? fstab has errors=remount-ro, so I'm assuming some kind of error occured, but combing through dmesg does not help [00:05] fsck shows the volume as clean [00:05] hi… how much longer is Ubuntu going to support PPC hardware? [00:06] philipp64: The last official PPC release was Trusty [00:07] !trusty [00:07] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [00:09] what about community support? and what kernel does trusty ship? [00:10] !info linux-image-generic trusty [00:10] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13.0.164.174 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB [00:10] PPC - Notable absentees are: Chrome/Chromium, Adobe Flash, Wine (however Qemu can be used, see below), Skype, ndiswrapper, proprietary video drivers and Dropbox. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#What_software_is_available_for_PowerPC.3F [00:11] thanks… well, it's not 4.10… but it's better than 2.6.32… [00:11] but you can run supertuxcart [00:11] actually this would be for an embedded device… a network appliance. [00:11] philipp64: Official support ends April this year for Trusty. There may be later community PPC ports however [00:11] so not worried about Skype, WINE, Flash, etc. [00:12] which distro has the best powerpc support? [00:12] debian dropped 32 bit ppc too, it is a dying arch [00:13] OerHeks: Yes [00:13] yeah, and gcc-8 announced that powerpc support is on the way out. [00:13] but my employer has hardware out there that we need to support for another 5 years… sigh. [00:14] philipp64: For PPC architecture, probably YDL ( Yellow Dog Linux ) [00:14] we need to pivot to another distro that can keep us going during that time. [00:14] Is YDL still a thing? we're currently using ELKD 4.2 which is downstream of YDL… [00:15] but they pivoted to Yocto. [00:15] Yes, whatever they evolved into would probably be the very last actively supported PPC linuxes ( unless there is a debian or Ubuntu community port) [00:18] what if you used the server iso, and put on a desktop ? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.5/release/ubuntu-16.04.5-server-powerpc.iso [00:19] philipp64: There seems to be a 64bit version of some type [00:19] does anybody know why uhelper=udisk2 does not work in /etc/fstab – I can still only mount and umount via sudo in the terminal? [00:20] strangely it works in gnome-disks without password [00:20] but not via cli [00:22] genii: our hw is all 32-bit (85xxDP and e500v2) [00:25] philipp64: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/ indicates a regular PPC is available for that version, which would give you a couple more years than Trusty. But it is a community port [00:25] can someone help me troubleshoot this. I believe my laptop has 2 graphic cards, intel hd and geforce 610m how do I know I have preferred drivers installed for each [00:25] my urban terror runs horrible [00:26] !info linux-image-generic xenial [00:26] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.141.147 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 14 kB [00:26] philipp64: The kernel is also 4.4 as the bot shows [00:26] driver in use >> lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' [00:27] sudo ubuntu-drivers list # or directly # sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [00:28] intel should be in the kernel already [00:29] genii: we could live with a community port, especially if we're feeding fixes back upstream and helping to "float all boats". [00:29] philipp64: There also *may* have been PPC in Yakkety and Zesty, but those have now been archived to old-releases [00:29] well, 4.4 isn't 4.19, but it's not 2.6.32 either... [00:31] so we might be able to help with a kernel update for xenial to 4.15 or later on PPC... [00:31] philipp64: If you have some machine running the PPC port of Trusty, I'd try to dist-upgrade it to Xenial, then change upgrade check from LTS->LTS to Normal and see if it might go one more version, or possibly two [00:31] ( that would be the end of the line though ) [00:32] just ELDK-4.2 for now… which is RHEL7.x piped through YDL [00:32] can someone help me troubleshoot this. I believe my laptop has 2 graphic cards, intel hd and geforce 610m how do I know I have preferred drivers installed for each my urban terror runs horrible [00:33] Question: How can I find out what error cause my root filesystem to mount as read only? fstab has errors=remount-ro, so I'm assuming some kind of error occured, but combing through dmesg isn't revealing the cause, just a message saying it was remounted some 250ms after boot, and fsck shows the volume as clean. [00:33] MiguelPeru, i tried ... [00:34] Term1nal: If you also booted into single user mode/recovery mode, the filesystem would be mounted read-only [00:35] It's not recovery mode. [00:35] I only found out it was readonly because systemd was stuck not doing anything [00:36] so I flipped over to another tty and checked blame, it was fingering resolved for not being able to start [00:36] Term1nal: So if the filesystem has been marked clean, you could try: sudo mount -o remount,rw / [00:36] Hello, how does one find the UUID of a device? [00:37] which I dug in deeper found out that it's because the filesystem was readonly, so I remount as rw and run systemctl default, it runs normally and login screen shows up, can log in, use desktop etc. [00:37] If I reboot the system, the same thing occurs. [00:37] !blkid | badr_ [00:37] badr_: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [00:37] badr_: sudo blkid ..should show all UUIDS [00:37] the only thing I can find that looks remotely related is some error message about auto4fs module not being found. [00:38] OerHeks, remaind me? [00:39] MiguelPeru, just read back, howto show drivers installed for nvidia and/or to install them [00:39] er, rather, autofs4 module [00:39] mistype [00:40] thank you very much [00:40] nvidia 610 should run urban terror fine [00:41] Term1nal: If the fs is now mounted rw, you could try re-installing it to make sure the module is available. ( packagename is just the same, autofs ) [00:41] I don't even know if that's what's causing it, however. [00:41] Just the only potentially related error I could see that might have anything to do with the filesystem [00:42] Is there any way to find out the criteria of what triggered the error mount condition? [00:42] Term1nal: There may be some clue in the results of dmesg [00:44] I checked, there's nothing mentioning the root filesystem device, volume, UUID, or anything until or after the message notifying that the / filesystem was rmounted [00:46] OerHeks, I don't have ubuntu-drivers executable just 3 ubuntu-something [00:47] OerHeks, it's for a ubuntu 10.04 instalacion [00:47] MiguelPeru, oh, we do not support that old beast anymore [00:47] upgrade, or good luck [00:53] OerHeks, I found it on an abandoned case and decided I'd mount it on a pen and boot it in my i7 [00:53] yea is so outdated [00:54] so no servers, no drivers, no updates, i would not waste time on it [01:00] Ubuntu-mate 18.04 Error "system program problem detected" where do i find this error === ircuser is now known as np4433 [01:03] texla: anything in /var/crash/ ?

[01:05] badr_: what is your native language? and which other langauges do you speak? [01:05] why? [01:05] badr_: because it may be easier to make progress if you speak the same language as those you are asking for help. [01:06] badr_: currently there is clearly a language barrier. [01:06] if, for example, you speak french, too, you could try #ubuntu-fr [01:07] channel of my languge dead [01:08] i see :-/ [01:09] badr_: google translate for your problem?

[01:47] tomreyn, termbin : https://termbin.com/1qk4 [01:47] Eli-5dce: please update the kernel. [01:50] tomreyn, which kernal? the Video kernal or OS Kernal? [01:51] Has anyone had issues with the amdgpu driver in a switchable graphics system? I'm on Kubuntu 18.04. I have tried with kernel 4.15 and kernel 4.20, and it refuses to load the module, and downloading frish files from AMD's site fails as well. Full description of what was tried is here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1108451/unable-to-use-amdgpu-driver-in-18-04 [01:52] tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4BZDNtbs8y/ [01:53] Eli-5dce: the 'OS kernel is behind. just install all pending software updates [01:54] texla: oh this looks very clean, is this a fresh install then?

[02:09] tomreyn, Will do thanks for the additional info [02:11] texla: i don't see any caja crashes in there, but maybe this would be on "journalctl --user" rather, not sure [02:12] R3dc4p_: okay let me double check that this hardware should be using amdgpu. can you run "sudo ubuntu-drivers list" in the meantime? [02:14] Tomryn: Done. Was it supposed to return something other than blank? [02:16] tomreyn: * [02:16] R3dc4p_: not strictly, just wanted to be sure, this graphics chipset you have, R7 M265 (Opal XT), is one of the older GCN (graphics core next) 1st generation. IIRC those are not well supported by amdgpu. but this is from memory only, trying to find a source for thi. [02:16] *this [02:17] AKA Southern Islands [02:18] tomreyn: It's listed as supported on Ubuntu's amdgou help page, otherwise I wouldn't have tried so hard to get in working, ha. [02:18] amdgpu* [02:22] R3dc4p_: can you point to this page? from what i read there is experimental support for this graphics chipset on the linux kernel since 4.9 but only if a non-default compile time kernel option is set. [02:22] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2016-September/002384.html [02:23] tomreyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver [02:23] it doesn't say which one that is, but looking at /boot/config-4.15.0-43-generic on my 18.04 system it may be CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI=y [02:23] can anyone help me with a samba issue i'm having? feels like i'm just on the cusp of getting it to work but hitting a wall [02:23] Help. I tried to fix my sound/video sync, now I have no sound, my machine wont finish shutting down [02:25] R3dc4p_: this page should be rather outdated, but i agree it does suggest that this hardware was supported in 17.04. [02:26] R3dc4p_: note "if you have problems with"... below the table, though [02:27] tomreyn: Noted that, but I'm on 18.04 with the hwe kernel, which is two of those points. [02:28] and i'd rather not roll all the way back to 14.04 === [ghost] is now known as ghostboarder [02:32] R3dc4p_: hwe referred to a different kernel version then, i'm just pointing this note out since it may be an indication that support was previously picky. [02:33] R3dc4p_: and i'm surely not suggesting to install 14.04 these days. 3 months of support left. [02:33] the table at https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ states that southern island cards run with radeon by default, so that's what you're seeing [02:35] R3dc4p_: so in 18.04, using the default radeon driver, there are problems with both the general release as well as the HWE kernel for you? [02:35] !sound | kilde [02:35] kilde: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [02:39] tomreyn: For general use, it works fine. I was hoping for the newer code base and performance increase with the amdgpu drivers. [02:40] i see. i'd recommend newer hardware for amdgpu. [02:42] tomreyn: Thanks for the help, regardless. Hopefully (and I'm crossing my fingers here) support fot the GCN 1.1 cards improves. [02:47] R3dc4p_: did you say that "sudo lscpi -knnv" lists both drivers as available for this graphics card? [02:47] try this on the hwe kernel first. [02:48] R3dc4p_: if so, you can blacklist radeon and see if amdgpu gets loaded [02:49] tomreyn: I actually just tried an edit from deep within a google search, booting with 'radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1' seems to have worked [02:50] so which one was it using then, radeon or amdgpu? [02:51] tomreyn: With those boot options, it is currently listed as using amdgpu [02:52] oh nice [02:53] R3dC4p: Interesting way of testing. why not blacklist radeon then? [02:53] my amdgpu.dc=! suggestionw as misplaced, please ignore it [02:55] snowgoggles: Might be interesting to try. lemme see what happens [02:57] i suspect you found those options on https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amdgpu-radeon-414 [02:59] snowgoggles: Booting with radeon blacklisted results in the system deciding to not load a module. [03:00] R3dC4p_: amdgpu is from the builtin source? no ppa? [03:01] snowgoggles: correct. its whatever is built in to the 4.18 kernel [03:01] R3dC4p_: I'm reading your backthread [03:05] R3dC4p_: so the boot options exclude and include work but the radeon blacklist fails? [03:07] snowgoggles: yup. it chooses to not load anything. [03:07] snowgoggles: But it works now, so I'm happy. [03:08] R3dC4p_: i just read similar solution. the user hardcoded the boot options into his grub [03:09] snowgoggles: I'd love to be able to find out if the driver baked into the kernel has powerxpress support. [03:11] R3dC4p_: oh switchable graphics. with what igpu? [03:12] R3dC4p_: you may have to go proprietary for that but i'm not certain [03:12] snowgoggles: Whatever is on my Skylake chip. HD 520, I believe. And I don't think I can go proprietary, though now that I can even get it to load, I might try. [03:13] Previous attempts with the binaries downloaded from AMD resulted in the GUI failing to load completely. [03:16] R3dC4p_: 18.04 or 18.10? [03:17] snowgoggles: 18.04. I only ever run LTS [03:18] On DDs at least. [03:19] R3dC4p_: R7 M265? [03:19] snowgoggles: yup [03:20] Branded in my laptop as a firepro something or other. W4190 i think? [03:20] R3dC4p_: there is no proprietary driver for that card since 2015 [03:21] snowgoggles: I could install the amdgpu-pro package, which, on ubuntu, has powerexpress support when installed with the -px flag [03:23] AMD doesn't do fglrx drivers anymore. they develop the open source amdgpu package, and essentially have closed source 'addons' with the -pro installation. [03:23] R3dC4p_: link? [03:24] snowgoggles: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/amdgpu-installation [03:30] R3dC4p_: yeah go for it...what do you got to lose? I'm not certain these instructions will work for your card but if i was to run this, i would use the legacy switch for the install. then cross my fingers [03:32] snowgoggles: I'll monkey with it. I'm able to reliably recover by botting to shell and purging amd packages. it won'ty affect the driver built into the kernel. but anyway, thanks for everything [03:34] R3dC4p_: looks like you made good progress tonight. tomreyn!! good stuff guys!!

[08:21] the only other option is "start a shell to examine the situation", but I don't know if there are any ready-made command line tools for this [08:22] I know dispatch-conf solves this problem perfectly on gentoo [08:22] but it's portage-specific [08:32] hello all, [08:33] how do I disable the default search in the browser? if I start typing it starts the search automatically.

[13:17] Please help!? === im0nde is now known as donlaton [13:21] thekswenson that sounds like memory or a motherboard problem. Is it older machine? You might try pulling the RAM, blowing it out with air, and re-seating it. Just a thought [13:22] 1 year old machine ordered from DELL. It passes all memory tests. [13:23] Howdy folks === donlaton is now known as im0nde [13:24] I hear ya, but wonkiness like that is almost always hardware-related. For example, if you had a lightning storm that partially fried one part of your video card - which is only accessed when certain things are loaded into video RAM. But it could be anything from any of the subsystems on the mobo, to the RAM, to the video card. FWIW it sounds like hardware to me, and probably not disk problem. [13:26] sub526: This happens when a previous update has crashed [13:27] Hey guys, does anyone know how to determine the max Link Quality level? On some of my cards it's 70 on others it's 100 (displayed by iwconfig), is there some proc/sys file where i can look it up? [13:28] raj: try "apt-cache search zlib". Looks like you need zlib1g [13:29] thekswenson: I had such problems with my first thinkpad. The reason was a a faulty video ram. Can you try an other graphic unit? [13:32] NTQ: I will see if there isn't a card floating around. [13:37] NTQ: thanks, what could be the reasons for crash? [13:38] sub526: Maybe you can find something in the logs /var/log/apt/term.log or history.log [13:39] But in most cases you can ignore it and just call "apt-get -f install" to repair the last failure. [13:52] NTQ: Thanks for this info. [13:58] helloo :) [13:58] Do you have some job for me? [13:59] howdy [14:07] fine [14:08] drndoje: This is an Ubuntu support channel.

[14:57] Hi, what is the fastest way to find the number of files in a particular directory, given that there are about more than a million images in that directory [14:58] and if I'd want to find only the .png files, how do I go about? [15:02] find *.gz -type f | wc -l [15:02] find *.png -type f | wc -l [15:05] OerHeks: thanks [15:08] Does anyone happen to know how which mountpoint a VFS error in dmesg is related to? I know it's a CIFS mount, but I've got plenty of those. [15:08] I want to figure out which mountpoint, and remote machine, it is that's failing. [15:23] OerHeks: the command has been running for about ~20min, but I don't see any results, is it possible that the task got hung? [15:24] ramsub07, odd, it should immediatly give result [15:24] I know there are a lot of files there, but 20+ min for computing number of files in a directory is too high, isn't it? [16:07] hi there! one question regarding ssh passwordless access. if i have two users (root and pi), but for root I want to keep password-authentication for ssh. for user pi I want to disable password authentication and only be able to access via public key. can i do this with usermod -L pi - to lock password for this user? thank you for your idea! [16:13] rk3y: check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. At the bottom you'll see: # Example of overriding settings on a per-user basis [16:14] rk3y: you'll have to tell sshd what to do for your user... or maybe for the user group if you have more specials === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer [16:16] ok i could do this with "match user pi" and then disable password. but simply lock the password for the users, would also mean to disable password authentication, doesnt it? [16:18] rk3y: I just checked what the '-L' option does for usermod because I've never used it. I think it will indeed prevent password based authentication for this user [16:18] rk3y: so I think it should stop sshd from authenticating this user by password [16:18] rk3y: I'd say: test it :) [16:18] rk3y: change the password to 'something', login through ssh. Then -L it and try again [16:18] so random question, is there a way to get vanilla Gnome? [16:18] I hate all the "enhancements" bloat yall did to this [16:19] rabbitnightmare: don't blame me!

[16:21] not a fan of this distro, let Unity go, everyone hated it, stop trying to make millhouse a meme, stop trying to make Unity work NOBODY WANTS THIS! [16:21] frib: nothing, with UEFI they can co-exist [16:22] rabbitnightmare: if you're not a fan of ubuntu, try debian or something [16:22] frib: assuming Windows and GRUB are both installed in UEFI mode [16:22] what made Ubuntu famous was that it took Linux and put it into a package and left Gnome default vanilla [16:22]
