[00:00] Also should note that I'm on the HWE kernel. [00:04] Hi there. I have an ubuntu 18.04 server, and used netplan to apply a set of static ip addresses. However, when i use ifconfig, I do not see the ips being bound to my server. [00:07] xrandr: netplan renders the config to systemd.network configuration in /run/systemd/network/ so first check there to ensure the config has been created and looks correct. [00:07] xrandr: Secondly, are you assigning IP addresses to bridges or raw physical interfaces [00:08] TJ: I am not sure if this answers your question, but I am renting a server from a server hosting company that has assigned me a /29 range of ips. Looking at the file you told me to look at, I am not sure if it is doing it properly. [00:09] xrandr: pastebin the netplan config so we can check [00:09] oh didn't notice they were in here [00:09] in which case... [00:09] !crosspost | xrandr [00:09] xrandr: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [00:09] xrandr: and let's go to #ubuntu-server where you first asked since that is more appropriate channel [00:09] ^ there [00:10] Ok [00:10] going there [00:10] sorry for cross posting. There was a troll in that channel when I joined, and everyone was quiet lol [00:10] xrandr: well they ain't there anymore [00:10] (thank you ops team!) [00:14] Hi all [00:14] I cannot run VirtualBox anymore after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. It keeps saying VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE). [00:14] Is there some quickfix for that? [00:15] Ah, I know [00:16] nevermind [00:24] OnkelTem: what was it then? [00:29] I'm trying to remove my NTFS partition from my drive that also has my main ubuntu partition [00:29] im a bit worried === SysGhostd is now known as SysGhost [00:30] if i delete it will i still have grub to launch ubuntu? https://imgur.com/a/DNiWJqp [00:32] Mibix: Grub should have installed by default to the linux partition. [00:32] it looks like it [00:33] hmm i cant reallocate that space to ext4 either :/ [00:33] maybe in clonezilla? [00:37] nvm i got it hehe [00:38] I'm having trouble downloading AMD's Radeon driver software on 18.04 LTS. I'm following the instructions on this page (https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-prereq.html#extracting-the-package-archive), but I get this error: "(child): amdgpu-pro-18.50-708488.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory" [00:38] What should I do? [00:38] use amdgpu instead [00:39] haha, look at tomreyn. answering all the amdgpu questions. [00:40] There is no amdgpu that I can find, only amdgpu-pro [00:40] Sushi-san: amdgpu is an open source kernel module which is part of ubuntu 18.04 [00:40] Ah, I see. [00:40] How do I access it, then? [00:41] Sushi-san: depending on your card, it may already be running. run lshw -c video [00:41] Sushi-san: it should get loaded automatically on compatible hardware. [00:43] It's showing that I have an RX 470 instead of an RX 580, and there aren't any options for me to use [00:44] Sushi-san: run this: sudo update-pciids [00:45] Sushi-san: this downloads and configures a new database of PCI vendor and device IDs, enabling your system to report more properly on the hardware ou have installed. [00:45] That did it, yes [00:45] Thank you [00:45] But how can I configure things like I would with Radeon Software on windows? [00:46] the equivalent for USB is: sudo update-usbids [00:46] sorry, i don't know radeon software on windows. [00:46] you could describe what you're missing [00:47] Sushi-san: Not even sure if AMD provides an overlay for thier open stack. tomreyn, amd drivers on windows provied a GUI for configuring various settings related to thier hardware. driver forceed antialiasing options and the like [00:48] Exactly [00:49] "man radeon" will show the drivers' man page if you'd like to make global settings [00:49] But I should be alright with whatever is preset on 18.04 LTS in terms of GPU drivers, then, R3dC4p? [00:50] (requires the 'man-db' package, man pages are also available online at http://manpages.ubuntu.com ) [00:50] Sushi-san: I have not yet had any issues with the defaults, but I have also only had the amdgpu driver running for 24 hours or so. I was on here last night trying to get it running. [00:50] Also, tomreyn does man radeon show amdgpu settings? i know amdgpu has it's own man page [00:50] i'm using the same hardware for about 1.5 years now with this driver and it works fine for me [00:51] R3dC4p: oops i mean man amdgpu, thanks [00:51] Sushi-san: ^ [00:51] Good to know. I've had this card for 2 weeks now with no problems. Was just curious about the drivers. [00:52] a lot more can be controlled with https://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html [00:53] but there's no gui for it, or none that i'm aware of [00:53] there is driconf but it's considered legacy [00:55] oh look https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2018-January/182058.html [00:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [00:56] this is also useful [00:57] hi everybody .... some1 had problem with dual video card on laptops ? [00:58] my mistake, this is better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [00:58] *https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver [01:00] What are the chances someone has a Dell Precision 7720 that came preinstalled with ubuntu who wouldn't mind letting me use their service tag number to download the Dell-proprietary ubuntu recovery image iso that they lock behind the service tag only valid for that model of laptop having come from the factory with ubuntu? [01:01] Since that particular model simply doesn't function stable with the standard ubuntu image, despite being "certified" [01:08] Term1nal: are you unable to get your service tag#? should be available in the BIOS [01:09] The machine in question (not mine, helping a friend) did not come factory pre-installed with Ubuntu, therefore is unusable for the purpose of downloading the ubuntu iso image from Dell's site, as it is locked behind a service tag verification check [01:09] Sushi-san: thanks bro, but i use nvidia [01:10] Looking to liberate the poor beast of a machine with Linux [01:10] Ahhh. Well. that's certainly crappy of Dell. [01:10] And of Canonical [01:10] Canonical should never have "certified" the device if it doesn't work with the standard ubuntu image. [01:10] i tried something change modprobe setting drm .... looks great now ... i should test better [01:10] Seems kind of counter-intuitive [01:11] The fact that I need to use a Dell-supplied image with proprietary drivers and special kernel parameters to get the hardware to run properly is pretty asinine of both parties. [01:13] Agreed. This might not help at all, because my mobile workstation is in no way related to the Dell, but are you on the latest BIOS? Is Secureboot enabled? [01:14] Term1nal: IIRC "dmesg | grep DMI:" would return the service tag. or dmidecode. [01:14] I was wondering if someone would recommend me some low-resource software for basic video editing things [01:14] like say pasting together 2 short clips into 1 video file, or possibly cropping off parts of a video file to make it shorter, or splitting a long file into shorter files, etc [01:14] Term1nal: what doesn't work well with the default installer? [01:15] NewToLubuntu: I've used both Openshot and Shotcut for that purpose, and found them agreeable. [01:16] NewToLubuntu: any of these tasks which don't strictly require a GUI can probably be done with ffmpeg on the CLI (but I would also need to learn how exactly) [01:18] is CLI liek the command prompt? [01:18] I'm bad at ermembering commands, hoping for some limited visual interface [01:18] would both OS and SC run fine on lxde? [01:20] is there a way to get this unallocated space on to my ext4 partiton? [01:20] NewToLubuntu: yes [01:20] https://imgur.com/a/5y2HN9w [01:20] its like command prompt [01:20] in Linux we use the command line a lot [01:20] its part of the reason why a lot of people use it [01:20] in MacOS and Linux the terminal is used heavily [01:21] tomreyn: not sure you caught the part about the service tag must also validate that the machine in question came with ubuntu from the factory in order to download the dell ubuntu image, the particular laptop in question was Windows 10 originally. [01:21] Mibix: that's pretty odd, i thought you had to have at least 1 primary partition [01:22] lol there used to be a ntfs partition? [01:22] NewToLubuntu: I don't see any reason why they wouldn't, but i'm not an LXDE user. [01:22] tomreyn: in addition to that, as I understand it, ubuntu installed successfully but it's generally unstable/unusable/crashing. I don't have the machine in front of my physically, just trying to help a friend acquire the Dell image that should apparently contain the necessary drivers and kernel parameters of which are unavailable otherwise. [01:22] Term1nal: i guess then you'll be out of luck. [01:22] My hope was that someone might have one of these units that wouldn't mind letting me use their service tag to acquire the iso [01:23] Mibix: 1st i'd recommend to backup the data before trying anything on it [01:23] Term1nal: personally i doubt the image will contain anything you can't get from other sources. [01:23] Question repost time. In Kubuntu 18.04, attempting to lauch a Plasma session with Wayland, I get the splash screen, and the session crashes back to SDDM. Graphics drivers in used are i915 (HD Graphics 520) and amdgpu (Opal XT, AKA AMD m265) [01:23] according to Ubuntu's certification page, it does. [01:23] furthermore, dell's support site does not offer the drivers individually for download [01:24] I've been using lubuntu on and off for a couple months but still haven't gotten to the bottom of why I need to make as if I am running a scan and then cancel it to boot up properly [01:24] something about canceling the normal graphics I think [01:24] would be nice if I could just start and go right to login screen [01:24] and I've tried searching the vast interwebs for a copy of the iso, searching by the hash provided on the download page [01:25] Term1nal: it's likely that the necessary modules and such are available elsewhere, if you physically had the unit, you could probably get help with figuring out why it's crashing, and solve the problems manualy. [01:25] Yeah I could, but unfortunately not possible, wish I could have it in front of me to troubleshoot [01:26] Term1nal: you could have your friend install an ssh server and connect to that [01:26] Synaptic Package Manager didn't find shotcut so I'll go with openshot I guess. There's actually a lot of things named that. openshot says (transitional package) at end whereas openshot-qt does not [01:26] as I understand it, networking doesn't function either. [01:27] Mibix: after doing the backup you could try if gparted could move it to the start of the disk and expand it, or to the same effect you could see where the filesystem starts and from the backup copy it to a fresh partition you make at the start [01:27] EriC^^ not quite sure how to fix it though [01:27] i am backing it up before [01:27] Mibix: is it backed up already? [01:28] not yet but shouldnt take long [01:28] what would i do after? [01:28] it's data right? no os or anything? [01:28] no its my ubuntu install [01:28] oh ok [01:28] i was editing it using the live cd [01:29] Term1nal: have them find someone local to them who helps them with the first steps, then you can take over [01:29] Mibix: well, once it's backed up, delete the partitions completely, then create 1 big primary partition [01:30] Mibix: then create a filesystem using mkfs.ext4 -U [01:31] nothing ever easy on linux [01:31] and mount the backup and use rsync to copy everything to the new partition then chroot into it and reinstall grub to the mbr and update-grub [01:31] I have some weird 3.7gb volume which seems to have partitioned as a copy of the lubuntu OS, no idea why [01:31] Mibix: you're doing something kinda advanced though, to be fair [01:31] it's actually more complex, even not possible using windows tools (ever tried diskpart?) [01:32] is it because its not contiguous [01:32] i def spelled that wrong [01:33] Mibix: well gparted might know what to do, maybe not, usually you absolutely have to have a primary partition + other extended if you want, so that might throw it off [01:33] gparted usually can handle this pretty easily. [01:33] did you see the screenshot? [01:33] https://imgur.com/a/DNiWJqp [01:33] wait wrong one https://imgur.com/a/5y2HN9w [01:34] Yes, you should be able to drag that outer layer portion to the left. [01:35] what? at the top right there? [01:35] Mibix: you can right click on it in the table and press move [01:35] that graphical representation of the partitions is interactive. [01:36] you should be able to use that to move the partitions around. [01:36] ok let me finish this backup and ill try again [01:37] Other option, rsync your home folder to an external storage device, reformat and reinstall fresh [01:37] no way [01:37] lol [01:37] rather lose all that space [01:37] R3dC4p: do you know if the "Razor Tool" (red handled scissors) would be how I would split clips up? [01:37] I'm a little unclear how to use it, nothing seems to happen when I click the icon [01:38] or rsync the entire partition to external storage, reformat to ext4, rsync it back, use grub repair disk to fix the boot loader. [01:38] Like nothing happened [01:38] oh wait, a little dropdown arrow appears... go it. [01:38] they should mention that in the tutorial! [01:40] im actually gonna try to use that gparted thing now [01:40] backup will take a long time [01:40] Mibix: i'd backup first, resizing moving etc tools aren't that reliable in my experience [01:40] NewToLubuntu: The razor tool cuts wherever you click. :) [01:40] might be wise to still backup first [01:40] if you resize it and something goes wrong, rip your install [01:41] i just want to see if its possible [01:41] AHAB Always Have A Backup [01:41] not gonna do it [01:41] Term1nal: I prefer AH3B :P [01:41] true [01:42] Local copy, copy on server, copy on remote server at a friends house, in my case. [01:42] i mean i have backups just not images :p [01:45] Every computer in my house does a full image weekly, and backs up specific folders daily to my rackmount in the basement. That rackmount rsyncs the backup drives monthly to another rackmount 25 miles away. remote server holds 3 moths worth of backups. [01:45] im got stuck/error on Boot error: Started update utmp about system runlevel changes... im trying to troubleshooting by searching the syslog but no luck... what should i do when the error happen again... the workaround is try to restart once again by pressing ctrl+alt+del [01:45] yeah this isnt a VM so its hard to do images [01:46] its got all my storage too [01:47] Mibix: Start imaging it from a live USB, and store your images on an external hdd [01:47] i really just dread configuring everything [01:47] yeah that's what im doing R3dC4p [01:47] i just got clonezilla [01:48] Mibix: I wouldn't suggest that any home user have the setup that I have. It was a nightmare to set up, and if the equipment wasn't free, It would have cost more thousands of dollars than I want to spend. [01:49] yeah Term1nal i have no options to resize i knew it! [01:53] i can only shrink it [01:53] rsync your whole partition to external storage, reformat drive to 1GB ext2 partition (for /boot) and the rest ext4, rsync your entire partition back to the ext4 partition, use linux boot repair disc to fix the bootloader. [01:53] lol [01:53] another day [01:53] your install will work as it did before, and have all of the storage available. [01:54] can you the ubuntu live disc do boot repair? [01:54] or where do i get one of these magical disks [01:58] ugh somehow when I edit together about 40% of a 5mb video and a 7 mb video I get a 64 mb monstrosity [01:58] I think it upscaled somehow, how do I get it to stay the same format when Ie xport? [02:03] NewToLubuntu: Not sure exactly, you should have compression and container options when you export. I'd check the documentation. https://www.openshot.org/static/files/user-guide/index.html [02:04] originally 480 x 360, got vids off youtube [02:05] 480x480 (SCVD NTSC) sounds like it's the closest [02:06] Mibix: I've used https://www.supergrubdisk.org/ with decent success [02:06] goodluck [02:07] I think prob is quality defaults to high, setting to med [02:08] Youtube is well known for heavily compressing their videos. if there is a web option, i'd use that, that would supply the highest compression or look for a 'Quality' option. alternatively, reencode the video with Handbrake, which I know provides web presets. [02:12] what's the latest fad in config management? is puppet still a thing? [02:12] nano [02:14] Hi everyone. Kinda dumb question here -- i'm trying to make sure .gif files have thumbnails. I looked at a few different things and it seems like the .cache folder is root-only. As a user I don't have access to it. My question is: is it safe to change the permissions of the .cache folder? [02:15] dylanc29, where is that .cache folder? [02:16] it's just the normal ~/Home/.cache folder [02:16] probably depends on which kinds of attackers and attack vectors you're up against [02:16] then it should probably be writable and owned by the user whose home directory that is. [02:17] I guess I should reformulate my question: is the Thumbnail folder *supposed* to be root only or have I changed it somehow? [02:17] if this were on a webspace, you'd have to make sure no-one abuses upload permissions to store malware or exceed your quotas. [02:17] Right, it's just my home pc really. No worries on that front. [02:17] nah, the root ownership probably happened by accident [02:18] Can I get away with changing just the thumbnail folder permissions or does the enclosing folder also have to be set to user access? [02:18] oh actually the .cache directly in a home directory isn't just for thumbnails, but lots of stuff. and it should always be owned by and writable for the home dir owner. [02:19] ah i see. weird! dunno how i must have changed that be currently it's not even access for a user [02:19] because* [02:20] maybe something/someone copied the home dir as root and didn't opt to preserve ownership [02:24] damn this clonezilla is taking forever lol [02:24] 40 minutes for 84gb :o [02:24] that sucks [02:25] i use clonezilla 240GB SSD and it only takes about 6 or 7 minutes [02:25] To make sure I'm not being a total idiot: when I look through the gui and look at the permissions tab I see Owner:me having create/delete file access but group have none. Does that actually mean user space has no permissions on that folder? [02:25] lol this is a SSD [02:25] to get a image of a ubuntu install [02:25] but its going to this crappy USB external drive [02:25] at least it's usb 3.x [02:26] oh no its not [02:26] lol [02:26] it could be slower [02:26] i just looked it up [02:26] even still..it could be slower [02:26] x8dtl-3f [02:26] ya [02:26] * Mibix cries a lil bit [02:26] i use esata [02:27] https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTL-3F.cfm [02:27] sata > esata [02:27] this is an old boye [02:27] or sometimes i esata > sata (internal drive) [02:30] @Sven_vB i seem to have been mistaken! but if the folder is accessible to me i'm not sure why .gifs aren't being thumbnailed tbh. [02:30] dylanc29, verify your mime type detection [02:30] dylanc29, do thumbs work for other images? [02:31] Yep, perfectly for everything else that I can see. pngs, webms and such. [02:31] not for .xcf's I think [02:36] Uh, you mean verify it's actually a gif using mimetype as a command in terminal right? Tested one of the gifs and yeah it's a gif. [02:36] you talking about 'Files'? [02:36] it doesn't show you thumbs for GIFs? [02:36] Yeah [02:36] I thought it was a permissions issue but that's not the case. [02:39] it's not very important, of course, but just weird. it's .xcf's and apparently .gifs [02:40] XCF is a fairly unique format, I'm not sure that's special [02:40] you got totem installed? [02:40] yeah, meaning the video player right? [02:40] yeah [02:40] I do. [02:41] this seems a pretty comprehensive solution: https://askubuntu.com/questions/627088/nautilus-not-generating-thumbnails-for-gif-images [02:43] Yeah I saw that :\. Tiny bit complicated for me but I'll take a look and see if it's something I'll do. Like I said, not the worst issue in the world. Anyway, thank you and sven both for the help! Have a good one. [02:43] yw [02:43] Hello. I tried fixing an issue where xubuntu wouldn't let me into ttys so I installed a nvidia driver. Now the system boots into a black screen most of the times. It doesn't respond to anything. I tryed installing ubuntu but same issue [02:44] subscious, what graphics card do you use? [02:44] a geforce gtx 960m [02:44] subscious, have you searched the web for "ubuntu" + that product name? [02:44] I can boot into recovery mode [02:44] no Sven_vB [02:45] asd;lkfja.sldjfknlas;l,knfdjh [02:45] if you have a computer working enough, give it a try :) [02:45] what the hell clonezillaa [02:45] it just started again [02:46] ohhh its checking the image [02:46] derp [02:47] how do I check what nvidia driver is the right one? [02:49] can i stop clonezilla in the middle of it checking image after it created one? [02:49] i assume its done with the image? [02:50] subscious: See: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/141700/en-us . What release do you have installed ? [02:51] lshw shows nothing under configuration. I'm in recovery mode though. does that matter? [02:51] I made a video smal lenough but am getting an error "MP4 must be made up of one H264 and one AAC stream only." [02:52] subscious: recover == nomodeset, and yeah .. no upper level driver is loaded. [02:53] Bashing-om: I've seen about that nomodeset thing on the webs but couldn't find out how to do it. [02:54] Is it worth mentioning that booting into a livecd/usb as the same black screen issue? So it doesn't seem to be the installation [02:55] !nomodeset | subscious -> One thing at a time and I try and hang with you. [02:56] !nomodeset | subscious -> One thing at a time and I try and hang with you. [02:57] Bashing-om: So I entered nomodeset into the grub2 boot thing. is this permanent? And what exactly does this? I get a loginscreen now. But it's low res [02:57] subscious: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 <- How to set NOMODESET and other kernel boot options in grub2. [02:59] subscious: A added boot parameter in grub is one time boot thing. [02:59] Bashing-om: okay [02:59] This did the same thing as going into recovery mode I figure [02:59] subscious: What release are we working with ? [03:00] subscious: recovery mode only loads the bare essentials, All services other you must enable. [03:01] it's ubuntu 18.04 [03:01] 18.04.1 [03:02] So should I add the nomodeset permanently to grub? [03:03] subscious: nothing bad happens if you try it [03:03] it either works or it doesn't [03:03] subscious: NO .. we need to find put why the module (driver) does not load .. nomodeset defeats kernel mode setting and has some far ranging undesired side effects. [03:04] Bashing-om: okay. So how do we proceed? [03:07] subscious: 1st is to lnow what there is to clean up - show us : dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ; sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" [03:09] Bashing-om: it shows nothing (only some access denieds of find) [03:15] subscious: By that ^ I am going to "assume" clean. try ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' When done, reboot to see the effect. === capella is now known as capella|away [03:17] Can live usb of Ubuntu read all Windows file systems? [03:19] coconut: you mean all 4 of them? yes [03:21] Yes i do. (I did not knew them all by name) [03:21] :) [03:21] Thnx leftyfb [03:23] Bashing-om: Still the black screen [03:25] subscious: Pastebin the logfile ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' . See what the manager thinks. [03:26] Bashing-om: Should I boot into nomodeset again then? [03:27] subscious: Well, can you boot as far as the login screen ? and here activate a console interface ( ctl+alt+F2) ? [03:29] I restarted entered grub and accidently started ubuntu unchanged and it made it to the login screen. I can't login though. it just cycles back. I can access tty2 :) [03:30] I get weird screen interferences though. I had that some time back but it disappeared and started turning up randomly after installing linux now. [03:30] how do I pastebin the logfile? I don't know how to network from shell nor do I know if the network is even connected [03:31] subscious: Login there at TTY2 :) .. ' /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' and pass the resulting URL back here. [03:31] no cat? [03:32] subscious: Oppps sorry ,, yeah cat ! [03:33] https://termbin.com/soa3 [03:37] subscious: Manager is happy ... now do "you" have authorization to access the desktop? ' ls -al .ICEauthority .Xauthority ' [03:39] Doesn't find the Xauthority file/folder and has rw 00 on the ICEauthority [03:39] and my usr my group [03:44] Is Ubuntu using dnsmasq by default? I know Mint is, but wasn't sure -- I'm on the fence about which to install, and need to set up a whitelisting thing to keep my kids off youtube when they're supposed to be doing schoolwork. [03:44] subscious: And have you ever to this time in this install been able to activate the GUI ? ( why there may be no .Xauthority file ) Mine: -rw------- 1 sysop sysop 3956 Jan 10 15:50 .ICEauthority - -rw------- 1 sysop sysop 54 Jan 10 15:50 .Xauthority ". [03:48] got disconnected :/ [03:48] hello, can someone please help me to nstall wine on 18.4? i get strange errors...

[03:52] can someone read me? [03:52] !patience | efrey [03:52] efrey: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [03:53] Bashing-om: in recovery mode and nomodeset I could login to the gui. But not in normal boot. even when the login screen showed up it hung up after putting in login info. after doing the full-upgrade now it doesn't freeze but redirects me to the login screen [03:54] if I put custom flags on my kernel, and then do apt upgrade later and get a new kernel added, do the flags get copied into the grub config for the new kernel too? [03:55] subscious: Manager is happy .. is X also happy ? .. does ' sudo lshw -C display ' depict the nvidia driver as loaded ? === m5w is now known as m5w_ [03:55] the drivers appear yeah === m5w_ is now known as m5w [03:58] subscious: I run xfce and do not recall much, but is there a "quest" account available at the login screen ? Try the guest account to rule out a config issue in "your" account. [04:00] Bashing-om: There only shows my account [04:01] Bashing-om: subscious might have a sli config issue [04:02] snowgoggles: Possible as this is hybrid ( optimus ) system . How to check for a sli issue ? [04:03] Bashing-om: could try turning off sli just in case it auto config'd. let me look something up [04:05] i have 4 cards memory how to memtest it... should it be added one by one incrementally first slot then added to second slot till all memory slot filled up... or should we test it one by one? [04:06] Bashing-om: have him try nvidia-xconfig --sli=off and reboot then attempt GUI login [04:06] subscious: ^ [04:07] sudo that command? [04:07] yes [04:07] snowgoggles: Learning :) [04:07] Bashing-om: my nvidia fu is dated [04:09] it booted to login after that (might be lluck though) and now it froze after trying to login on gui [04:09] snowgoggles: 18.04 install of Nvidia has a drastic changes - I am still trying to comprehend them from that of 16.04 :( [04:09] well wait. I could go to tty1 again seeing the login screen. But I have the interferences again now :/ [04:10] ouch [04:10] The interferences are probably a hardware issue and I can't afford to have it fixed [04:10] subscious: Just to check and verify .. what is in the "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf" file ? [04:11] subscious: what you mean by interference? scattered lines? [04:12] looks weird. as if all pixels are shifted in an area of the bottom (all the horizontal) [04:13] some other artifacs go through the whole screen as the bottom area shifts in size. but it always stays in something like the lower forth of the screen [04:13] I have access to a tty again [04:14] Any other suggestions? Or should I give up on linux and try installing windows again? [04:15] subscious: what driver and libs are installed ' lsmod | grep nvidia ' ? [04:17] nvidia_uvm 0 nvidia_drm 1 nvidia_modeset 3 nvidia_drm ... [04:17] does that mean anything to you? [04:18] SixStr: Pastebin the whole output - please .. [04:19] I do't remember how [04:19] subscious: sorry Eickmeyer for that bad hilight :( [04:20] subscious: ' lsmod | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . [04:21] https://termbin.com/n6tw [04:25] subscious: Hummm .. not what I had expect to see, I do not think .. I am not on a Nvidia install at this time to check .. but what now shows ' sudo lshw -C display | nc termbin.com 9999 ' ? [04:26] https://termbin.com/yfzr [04:30] subscious: Again, looks good .. what driver installed ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 ' ? [04:31] https://termmbin.com/ahdf [04:33] subscious: I get connection refused on ^ . try again ?

I "thought" 410 was availabale, 390 though should work. Another thought is wayland. what shows ' echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE ' ? as Nvidia does not play nice with Wayland. [04:44] empty string [04:45] subscious: Ouch ! " echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE >> x11" for me . Getting over my skill level now. [04:50] okay. I'm getting tired anyways. cya [04:51] Sushi-san: I would like to know .. we can dontinue this at a later time .. perhaps too others here will have better guidance . [04:54] what? [04:56] Sushi-san: Sorry, me again not paying attention to my hilighting :( [04:56] Bashing-om: Two bad highlights in a row! XD :D [04:57] * Eickmeyer crawls back to Ubuntu Studio land... [04:59] Eickmeyer: Reminds me to remain humble :P [05:01] Bashing-om: If I had a nickel for how many typos I had today assisting someone with uninstalling their proprietary AMD drivers after their failed attempt (tedious task involving installing every package that was installed prior to the fail), I'd have made about 20 cents. All that to say, I can relate. :) [05:02] *uninstalling every package [05:02] ew AMD [05:03] thats the cpu maker from the late 90's right? [05:03] sys__op: -_- [05:03] * Eickmeyer has AMD CPU and graphics [05:11] wow [05:41] /join #haskell [06:58] hello all i have installed brave (browser) on 18.04 and when i run brave from terminal the following shows up...should i be concerned-have i been hacked or program altered nefariously ? [06:58] https://pastebin.com/CcfBuzNZ [06:58] i am using the browser so that i dont get adds and that i am more secure online [06:59] nojjj: for the brave snap support, you need to contact the maintainer itself [07:00] nojjj: snap info brave, to see wich maintainer [07:00] i shall and thanks but wondered if those msgs (terminal) were only showing up because of ;its a guess -me novice-app ammour [07:01] nojjj: normally snaps dont get compromized quickly, but never say never.. [07:01] app amour re ubuntu 18.04 [07:01] thank you [07:03] i dont mean to be a pain but i installed the browser from ubuntu software centre-are snaps available from there-i thought you had to browse to a website like snapstore [07:04] not that it makes a diff re contacting the soft dev team but im curious [07:05] nojjj: the ubuntu software, contains now both packages from apt repos and snaps from several maintainers [07:05]
