[00:00] so if I do cabal install xmoand, and get xmonad from haskell, 0.15 for ubuntu 18.04, then I need to remove the distro packages? [00:01] !info xmonad bionic [00:01] xmonad (source: xmonad): Lightweight X11 window manager written in Haskell. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13-7 (bionic), package size 528 kB, installed size 2442 kB [00:02] you would get 0.13 [00:02] Huh? [00:02] that is the package we support [00:03] hello [00:04] :-) [00:17] hello ubuntu [00:17] iam trying to automount a 18.04 default install with luks cryptsetup using a usb key - i already got this working but somehow i lost my script, now working of a backup but i cant get it to work - stackexchange doesent has an answer too yet [00:17] here is my post there https://askubuntu.com/questions/1108777/18-04-cryptsetup-luks-automount-root-during-boot-with-usb-as-key [00:17] i suspect the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX of the /etc/default/grub settings to be wrong, cant figure if the parameters are correct, websearch isnt helpful too [00:19] this line [00:19] sed -ie "s#quiet splash#cryptopts=target=sda3_crypt,source=/dev/disk/by-uuid/$(blkid -o value -s UUID /dev/$MAIN_PART),lvm=xubuntu--vg-root,keyscript=$UNLOCKUSB1#g" /etc/default/grub [00:19] is there a cheatsheet anywhere for the correct kernel commands using lvm? [00:20] lvm=xubuntu--vg-root -- this one, cant find if this command even exists, i pulled it from the script linked in my script right on top === TheHonorableKitt is now known as THKitten [00:21] hi, can I add custom new shortcuts in nautilius places section? i tried adding entries in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs (or /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults) and running xdg-user-dirs-update and xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update but it doesnt show up [00:22] anyways, ill be here for a while looking for replies, if anybody has a clue/hint that would be great [00:40] ikatamoonshots: this isn't a direct response to your effort, but may be of interest if you haven't followed the recent changes, yet: https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/77-cryptsetup-in-debian-tips-tricks-and-future-plans/ [00:41] i.e. things will (apparently) be much easier soon. [00:52] cryptsetup 2.1 and luksFormat defaulting to LUKS2 didn't happen before the debian debian 10 ("buster") transition freeze, though. [00:52] it should make it into ubuntu 20.04, though. === capella|away is now known as capella [01:02] oh actually 3.0.6 seems to have introduced LUKS2 as default format. [01:02] *2.0.6 [01:03] https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/v2.0/v2.0.6-ReleaseNotes [01:03] ikatamoonshots: ^ in case you're still following [01:13] im following, yes, thx for your effort [01:13] @ tomryn [01:14] i still think either the keyscript ofr the grub setting is the point of failure [01:14] i cant find a cheatsheet for the grub settings related to lvm / luks [01:15] fresh install of 18.10 on a desktop that I'm assuming doesnt have built in Wireless, can anyone tell me how I can check to see if my Wireless Adapter is linux compatible? [01:15] found this, https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html [01:15] [01:15] but nothign with lvm on the post with this link [01:17] even got it working in arch, setp is a bit different there, want to apply it to ubuntu tough [01:17] ikatamoonshots: i didn't really read all of what you posted, i'm not so much into booting off a usb key. it was always complex, and i always thought it'd be much effort to make it run reliably and not break by moinor changes in related packages. [01:18] AWest21: know the model name? [01:18] AWest21: does it show up in lspci? lsusb? [01:18] AWest21: alternativfely: the computer model [01:19] yep, i guess thats why there are no tutorials or documentations except for very dated ubuntu versions - tough, i want to make this script working and put it on github once and for all :P [01:19] ikatamoonshots: it doesn't seem like the much improved tooling around this (external key storage with LUKS2) will make it into 19.04, though. [01:19] matsaman Compaq 8200 Elite i believe the adapter is EP-MS1559 [01:20] AWest21: okay so what does lsusb say about it? [01:20] making sure i get the correct grub parameters for /etc/default/grub would be a start but i cant find a cheatsheet for the correct kernel opt for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= to apply for lvm / luks [01:21] matsaman lsusb doesnt show any thing that looks to be related [01:21] AWest21: but it's a usb plug-in? [01:21] matsaman correct [01:22] AWest21: well, couple places say it's rtl8192cu [01:23] the driver for the kernel, that is, for that device [01:23] matsaman Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

[01:25] *GPT [01:26] so fairly standard. [01:26] matsaman whats the easiest way to install that driver? [01:26] does anyone know why i would not be able to RD from ubuntu to a linux computer, windows computers and phone are both able to connect [01:28] i recently also setup uefi booting off / on top of lvm on top of luks on top of md raid-1, without separate /boot (but still plain esp, of course) [01:28] Jakethepython: because you'd actually not be using RDP but "VNC" [01:29] ythx tomreyn, i was making a break, will start dgging into these grub kernel params now, lets see what goog and github can find - if you have time to paste the configs anywhere, i can check if i get a clue for the missing piece [01:29] the RDP protocol worked the other day though [01:30] Jakethepython: can the devices ping one another? [01:31] matsaman software & updates says I'm using dkms source for r8812au network driver from rtl8812au-dkms but I still dont see an option for wireless config any where [01:31] no only because spectrum blocks ping of their IPs [01:33] Jakethepython: okay so you're not doing this on your home/office LAN/intranet but trying to connect to a remote system in another physical geographical location [01:33] Jakethepython: that type of setup put you in a situation where you can't easily trouble shoot the remote site [01:34] Jakethepython: so you're working with %50 of the equation and your hands are tied from reaching the other site (the other %50) [01:34] i can reach the other side from a differnet computer running Windows [01:35] Jakethepython: all you can do is make sure the internet and network "locally" is fine...as far as your remote site....you better find transportation or a local system administrator to trouble shoot other end you can't reach [01:36] Jakethepython: ok so let's bring out some details..just answer the questions [01:36] Jakethepython: what operating system does the computer at the remote site have installed? [01:37] ikatamoonshots: maybe let's go over the relevant configuration files just in case: there is /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume for standby/resume (swap partition or file should be in there if you have one), there is /etc/crypttab (most relevant), there is /etc/lvm/*.conf (unmodified defaults here), there is /etc/default/cryptdisks and obviousdly there is /etc/fstab [01:37] ikatamoonshots: i use UUIDs whereever possible [01:37] windows 7 [01:39] Jakethepython: what software application are you using to make this connection in linux/ubuntu?

[02:18] Bizarrely, X started working for no good reason, and I'd like to see if I can configure my monitors to be in the right places. [02:19] pmitros: are you chatting from the computer right now [02:20] tatertots: Sort of. I'm at the computer right now, but I'm chatting from another one via ssh [02:20] pmitros: in terminal> sudo apt install inxi [02:20] pmitros: run the command above on the computer in question and let me know when done [02:21] tatertots: I installed it.

Give me a minute. Reading the man page. [02:23] Okay. I see. [02:25] I think the relevant bits are: Distro: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS / Card-1: NVIDIA GK208 [GeForce GT 630 Rev. 2] bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1284 / Card-2: NVIDIA GK208 [GeForce GT 630 Rev. 2] bus-ID: 02:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:1284 / Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 ) driver: nouveau / Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz, 3840x2160@30.00hz, 1920x1080@60.00hz, 1920x1080@60.00hz, 1920x1080@60.00hz / OpenGL: renderer: NV108 version: 4.3 Mesa 18.0.5 (compat-v: 3 [02:26] pmitros: oh ..if you're wise enough to pick what or what is not relevant you can take care of anything else or the rest on your own' [02:27] tatertots: I'm not claiming to be wise enough to pick out what's relevant. I am wise enough not to post all the information from there on pastebin since some may have security implications. [02:27] tatertots: If there's more you need, please let me know. [02:27] pmitros: it doesnt [02:27] <[n0mad]> lol [02:27] lol [02:29] pmitros: the z in the command hides your potential security and potential pii issues [02:30] But coming here on freenode without a VPN provides more issues [02:30] cryptodan: I would specifically not be comfortable sharing drive configuration, since that would allow the system to be uniquely identified. The 'repos' would then let attackers know which software is installed. I can shown other ways this can be linked. [02:31] Lol look at your hostmame in freenode [02:31] cryptodan: I am behind a firewall. As I pointed out, I sshed out to a random university machine. [02:31] Firewalls can be broken [02:31] not by fire! [02:32] But you are concerned with drive info lol [02:33] cryptodan: I know the security profile of the system I am on. You don't. I didn't come here to discuss security. I came to ask a simple question. [02:37] You came for help asked for info and denied it so go to a doctor complain about your foot but refuse to take off your shoe [02:38] #ubuntu didn't used to be like this. It feels like a Slackware channel from the nineties. [02:39] pmitros: you just really confused me because my only irssi windows open are ##slackware and #ubuntu :P [02:39] !bite [02:39] Please don't bite our new friend. Everyone is new to Ubuntu and IRC once and everyone makes mistakes. If they don't learn from their mistakes you can have a little nibble on them later. [02:40] give him a brake guys, be helpful in the first place [02:43] pmitros: did you play with xrandr? [02:44] tomreyn: That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. It seems like the right tool. [02:44] tomreyn: Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to tell it which display to rotate. It has options for display, screen, etc., and I'm trying to figure out how to specify the right thing. [02:44] if you dont have gnome 3 and gnome-shell installed accessing the GUI for display management should get difficult anyways. [02:45] xrandr output shows connectors [02:45] tomreyn: I have xmonad. I tried running gnome-control-center and unity-control-center, and both were sparse. [02:46] tomreyn: You don't know off-hand how I rotate a connector? [02:46] tomreyn: Or monitor. I have handles like "DVI-D-2" [02:46] pmitros: no, but "rotate" is the correct search term on the man page [02:47] Oh! --output. That worked. [02:48] tomreyn: Thank you! I think I can take it from here for a while. I think I'll leave the arrangement wrong, but at least I won't have screens sideways or upside down. [02:48] That's enough to work from for a bit. [02:48] lol [02:50] tatertots: You think you'd be any faster debugging on a screen rotated the wrong way? [02:51] pmitros: you can add something like --right-of DVI-D-2 [02:52] how to arrange things precisely / ptroperly from a shell i dont know [02:53] tomreyn: The complex bit is that two of the monitors are offset. I have a pair of 1080P displays above a 4k display. In Ubuntu 16.04, I had that set up with NVidia's proprietary driver, which died in 18.04 for this setup. Doesn't start X. Nouveau is working right now, but it's configuration language is different. [02:53] tomreyn: But the details of where mouse goes aren't critical. Now that it's all right-side up, I can continue to get work done. [02:54] tomreyn: And fix the rest at my leisure. [02:56] tomreyn: Thank you very much. [02:58] pmitros: yw. there is gnome-flashback / gnome-session-flashback for a 2d xfce-like graphical shell which should also allow for configuring the screens. but i guess this will already have way more dependencies than you want. [03:00] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29418555/how-do-i-arrange-my-displays-in-xmonad [03:02] tomreyn: Wow. arandr is pretty awesome. [03:03] tomreyn: That did exactly what I was looking for! [03:03] :) [03:04] It actually did it much better than the old NVidia utility or anything else I've seen. It's not as pretty, but everything snaps in place, and it's smarter in how it reconfigures things. [03:08] hello, someone here? I have a 17'' notebook and bought a new 23'' monitor. however when I try to start fullscreen on the new bigger monitor, the "full screens" is only on part of the screen.. see https://pasteboard.co/HW2Bn3J.png .. any idea how to extend the full screen? I use LXDE [03:11] Help. I tried to fix my sound/video sync issue by following a guide. Now my sound does not work, my machine does not finish shutting down and I can not upgrade to 18.04. Please help [03:13] auvajs: i don't know, but you could / should provide more details, such as your graphics hardware + driver and ubuntu version, and how your monitors are connected. [03:14] kilde: you forgot to add the guide [03:14] tomreyn: vga cabel [03:15] auvajs: both? [03:15] tomreyn: I can provide the output of sudo lshw -class display [03:15] !details | kilde [03:15] kilde: 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. [03:15] tomreyn: vga cabel connect the laptop with the monitor [03:16] auvajs: i see, so you have a laptop. so you have an internal screen and a separate one. [03:16] tomreyn: sorry. here is the guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure I am using a 64 bit laptop touchsmart [03:16] auvajs: sorry, you mentioned laptop, my mistake. [03:17] tomreyn: this is the output of sudo lshw -class display: https://termbin.com/myoo [03:18] kilde: before ugrading we need to know whats going on first [03:18] tomreyn: yes as you said I have a laptop and external monitor [03:18] auvajs: do you have another option to connect the new monitor? vga is an analogue signal, nowadays most systems use digital ones, such as dvi, hdmi, displaylink. [03:19] tomreyn: unfortunately the laptop is old, I can use only the vga cabel [03:19] lotuspsychje: where do I start? I am not really good at this but I can follow instructions. [03:19] kilde: do you have ppa's enabled? is your system up to date? [03:22] tomreyn: ah I'm sorry.. I'm an idiot.. lol... it's called DVI cable what I have.. [03:22] auvajs: xrandr is the command line utility to play with screen resolutions etc. there is arandr as a graphical frontend to it. you can try to play with those on the laptop monitor while doing the "full screen" outpiut on the new, large monitor. [03:22] auvajs: okay, that's more likely to work then [03:23] tomreyn: how do I use those command please? I just want to watch NBA :))) [03:24] auvajs: shout at it that you "just want to watch nba", or read the manual (examples at the bottom) and configure things accordingly. i assume the second might work better. [03:25] auvajs: the xrandr man page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/xrandr.1.html [03:25] kilde: do you know howto gather information on your system? [03:25] auvajs or install arandr and do it graphically [03:26] tomreyn: yeah I just did. but dont understand it at all:)) [03:27] auvajs: which graphical desktop are you using, or which ubuntu flavor? [03:27] !flavor | auvajs [03:27] auvajs: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [03:28] tomreyn: I use LXDE [03:28] lotuspsychje: I am running software update right now. Most of the ppa's are checked, accept the ones with the source. I can use the terminal, I just cant remember the input to check the system [03:29] kilde: lets have a look at: uname -a && lsb_release -a && sudo lshw -C sound && sudo lshw -C video and pastebin the output plz [03:31] auvajs: okay, i'm not sure whether lxde has its own display configuration utility. if not, you'd need to use xrandr or arandr to make any changes to the displays. i assume, however, that the incorrect video output on full screen on the separate monitor is actually a shortcoming of the open source nourveau drivers you are using. you could try installing the proproetary nvidia drivers but i assume there are none for your (older) hardware. running [03:31] "ubuntu-drivers list" on a temrinal should tell. [03:31] this should get you the same graphically: software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4 [03:32] tomreyn: lxde has some very useless xrandr where I can't set nearly anything [03:32] maybe it's about time to switch to a more modern desktop ;) [03:32] on the other hand, your hardware might be too lacking [03:33] tomreyn: I use LXDE because it's much faster than Gnome.. :/ my laptop is ~6 years old [03:33] auvajs: you could try gnome-flashback [03:35] auvajs: it's more like xfce (consuming fewer resources than gnome3 + gnome-shell), but builds on gtk3, so it's not so outdated. [03:35] tomreyn: ok, I'll try it, tnx [03:37] lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/Cy1rK0r1 [03:40] tomreyn: I figured it out :)) it works after I turned off the laptop monitor [03:40] tomreyn: https://pasteboard.co/HW2PAdA.png :)) [03:40] Hello, I'm trying to configure OpenVPN on my Ubuntu 18.10 machine. It always claims to connect, but I either get no internet at all or no traffic is routed through the network properly. Any advice on how to continue? [03:41] auvajs: nice, enojy your game then! === Dreaman is now known as CrackerJack [03:41] tomreyn: now I only need Blazers win :DDDDD [03:42] tomreyn: tnx! [03:43] kilde: ok your drivers look loaded correctly [03:45] kilde: you said you cannot upgrade to 18.04 - why? you also said you are currently runnign the upgrade - this seems to contradict, unless you started the upgrade only recently. [03:46] kilde: is there a reason you're using the lowlatency kernel? [03:47] tomreyn: it will not upgrade to 18.04 but it does let me update (not upgrade) [03:48] kilde: ah, my mistake, i misunderstood. maybe we can get closer to the problem if you can show us some output [03:49] can you run this? sudo /bin/true; pastebinit <( lsb_release -ds; cat /proc/version; cat /proc/cmdline; dmesg -t | grep '^DMI:';echo '*****'; sudo apt-get update 2>&1; echo '*****'; sudo apt-get -f install 2>&1; echo '*****'; apt-cache policy 2>&1; ) [03:49] you may need to install "pastebinit" beforehand [03:49] !pastebinit | kilde [03:49] kilde: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [03:50] !pastebin | kilde [03:50] kilde: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GSFDKYJrS5/ [03:54] ah low latency for obs-studio [03:54] kilde: okay, so whatS'the error when you try to run an upgrade to 18.04 (do you actually want to, or is this just because sound doesn't work)? [03:57] tomreyn: I was trying to do it because the sound does not work (I know, it most likely wouldn't have fixed it). But, I get no error message, it just doesn't do anything beyond my password [03:58] kilde: do you also have the standard kernel installed? [03:59] dpkg -l linux* | pastebinit [04:00] kilde: i'm not convinced that upgrading to 18.04 would not fix the sound, it is totally possible. [04:01] tomreyn: oh? well here is the pastbin. http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QnRxZN73dn/ [04:02] kilde: on the other hand, it should probably work on 16.04 as well. but so far i don't even know which hardware you have. when you went over the sound fixing steps, you ran alsa-info.sh - can i see its output? [04:02] nick nojjim === conjo is now known as nojjim [04:04] kilde: when you upgraded to 16.04, did the upgrade run without any errors? you have a kernel version installed which should have been removed during this upgrade. it is not being used now, but the fact that it is installed myakes me think that the issues you are seeing are maybe the result of an unclean upgrade to 16.04. [04:06] kilde: are you still around? [04:06] you might not need ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily for 18.04, a live iso could tell you if sound works [04:06] tomreyn: I didnt remember having any problems... https://pastebin.com/Gsd5K77e [04:07] im trying to tile nautilis windows to left and/or right of screen is it possible [04:08] did a quick google saw nothing at a glance...thought id done it in the past-am i just imagining [04:09] anybody here familiar with OpenVPN on Ubuntu? [04:09] ask your question to the channel derrick_jensen [04:09] Hello, I'm trying to configure OpenVPN on my Ubuntu 18.10 machine. It always claims to connect, but I either get no internet at all or no traffic is routed through the network properly. Any advice on how to continue? [04:10] there don't appear to be any errors saying it doesn't work in the syslog (journalctl -f), but i don't get any connectivity even though I should [04:11] derrick_jensen, what guide did you follow? [04:13] kilde: according to the alsa-info.sh output the kernel module (read: driver) for your audio chipset (card) is failing during initialization at boot. this may be related to the lowlatency kernel you are running. i see three options: (1) switch to the standard kernel (this may break your video editing software). (2) try the !hwe kernel, (3) test ubuntu 18.04 from a live cd / usb stick, see if it works with audio. if so, clean up your packages, [04:13] then try upgrading to ubuntu 18.04 again. [04:13] !hwe | kilde [04:13] kilde: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [04:14] DerHeks I didn't use a guide but followed a config file my boss gave me, exported file generated by network manager match up almost completely except for persist-key and persist-tun [04:14] i'd be happy to take a guide if you can recommend one [04:14] how to schedule deja-dup backups at a specific time of day? [04:14] kilde: i think you have a bit to read now, and i will have some food, so feel free to make a choice or ask more questions, and if no one else will i will respond later when i return. [04:15] melvincv: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1005908/how-to-setup-d%C3%A9j%C3%A0-dup-backup-scheduling-time [04:16] derrick_jensen, this guide should work, though it is written for 14.04 https://www.ovpn.com/en/guides/ubuntu-gui , see if you missed steps? [04:16] tomreyn: thank you for your help!! [04:17] yw [04:18] melvincv: cron, or possibly anacron if the computer won't be on all the time [04:18] derrick_jensen, i use openvpn and terminal to connect to my vpn service- goes like this download your config files(s), if not already installed sudo apt-get install openvpn, cd to directory where config files are, run sudo openvpn --config "ur file name" , enter, enter user name and password as prompted [04:18] kilde: if you have ppa's installed, feel free to share us your sources.list too [04:18] thanks [04:19] i will try [04:20] nojjim, that is awesome short ! [04:21] lotuspsychje: how do I get that info through the terminal? [04:23] ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [04:25] !sources | kilde [04:25] kilde: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [04:29] lotuspsychje: is this it? https://pastebin.com/22P6nWUv [04:30] kilde: yes, you might wanna disable all external ppa's before upgrade to 18.04 [04:31] !ppapurge | kilde [04:31] kilde: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [04:35] lotuspsychje: question... what does this mean? am I supposed to copy and paste into terminal? !ppapurge | kilde [04:36] kilde: on ubuntu we try to advice not to add external ppa's to your system as we cannot support them, they are also a possible risk to your system [04:37] kilde: as you have added alot of ppa/packages, you need to use ppa-purge to delete them back to remain original ubuntu sources [04:38] kilde: ppa-purge needs to be installed, then follow the procedure from the link [04:39] kilde: another more easy option for you would be, backup your data on 16.04 and clean install 18.04 right away? [04:40] lotuspsychje: ok, I get that. so, "!ppapurge | kilde" is more or less a short hand message rather than a terminal command, correct? [04:40] kilde: the ! factoids are used to link you usefull information on the #ubuntu channel [04:42] OerHeks: following that guide didn't help, same issue [04:43] it says it's properly connected but the public IP address doesn't change [04:43] at least not when checked through chromium [04:43] derrick_jensen: try this aswell https://linuxconfig.org/openvpn-setup-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [04:55] hey all is Gparted available for 18.04 cant see it in ubuntu software center [04:57] install synaptic, much more detailed softwarecenter ... wait, gparted is in softwarecenter [04:58] was able to install with apt-get but not sure why no longer showing in ubuntu software center [04:58] !info gparted bionic [04:58] gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.30.0-3ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 493 kB, installed size 2032 kB [04:58] yeah why wouldnt it be in the software center [04:58] thanks [04:59] so why did you not see it? [05:03] not sure typo [05:03] lols [05:11] those guides didn't work [05:12] running OpenVPN directly with the configuration file sent does fire off a warning about ip route add failing [05:15] https://pastebin.com/4YiaQYhV is the output with some lines removed because of doxx, but nothing around the area in question [05:52] so i got a question [05:53] is there linux ftp sites or servers to down load off of [05:54] i understand its an os but still [05:54] has any one heard of Lubuntu [06:41] do you think it would be possible to find a copy of Ubuntu with nvidia drivers? [06:42] I literally can not get it to boot with my gtx 1060 in] [06:42] its not out of the realm of possibility for someone to have a 1060 and a 4k display [06:43] it boots and what have you in 1080p with the IGP with the graphics card out [06:43] I cant get it to boot in 1080p, or to show up with 4090x2160 with the card in [06:44] so the problem is that the resolution is too high when the nvidia card is in? [06:44] boot ubuntu, at login screen go to TTY1 (CTRL-ALT-F1), kill window manager, install NVIDIA drivers, let it create a xdisplay config or whatever it asks permission for, restart window manager [06:44] oh, i missed the nagation [06:44] *negation [06:45] no thats the resolution of my display [06:45] tty1 wont work, use 3 [06:45] the driver itself is a .run file [06:45] if I remember correctly [06:45] with intel I can switch over fine to that resolution [06:45] drop card in and boom, no display [06:45] rabbitnightmare: Please read what I said [06:45] i'd rather recommend using the drivers ubuntu provides, or a ppa, not nvidias directly [06:45] dsc_: trying that now [06:46] tomreyn: unless canonical has done what Apple couldnt, and that is get Nvidia to share their source code I doubt it matters [06:47] you can add semi-official nvidia ppa with the latest drivers [06:47] dsc_: thanks, its installing, like I couldnt get the drivers to install without the card in [06:47] "sudo ubuntu-drivers list" shoul dhave been the first commnd on the tty [06:47] I think this is more nvidias fault for REQUIRING the card be in to install drivers [06:47] and the customers' fault for buyiong from them, yes [06:48] sorry, the vega 64 couldnt handle this in Ubuntu [06:48] I tried for hours [06:48] gave up, rmaed the card and got the 1060 [06:48] someone in here said to [06:48] where do you need a videocard for anyway in linux??? [06:49] games [06:49] * dsc_ hides [06:49] minecraft, steam games etc [06:49] you do know Adobe are currently porting their application suite to Ubuntu [06:49] big changes coming [06:50] you're going to see a massive influx of adobe users in the coming months [06:50] i doubt minecraft needs much gpu power. it probably needs a lot of ram and cpu since its java [06:50] tomreyn: you would be wrong [06:50] tomreyn> Uh no [06:50] but it looks terrible. [06:51] okay, i never used it, guess i'm wrong then ;-) [06:51] crap code is crap code in every language [06:51] does it? you must be playing without shaders [06:51] rabbitnightmare: you can blacklist the problematic driver if you're having problems booting with the card inserted. [06:52] NoImNotNineVolt: I havent gotten there yet still waiting on the driver to install on said machine [06:52] then with no driver, it's not clear why it would be having issues booting with the card present. [06:52] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CFDQKVj3mg&vl=en-US this is how most people play Minecraft [06:53] you could try assigning that pci address to pci-stub, to be safe. i think that's how it works, at least. it's been a while. [06:53] That couldnt be further from the truth [06:53] I mean sure if you want to run it on a toaster you could play with ultra low graphics [06:53] i've never played minecraft, but from what i can tell, it looks somewhat blocky :P [06:53] funny that [06:54] NoImNotNineVolt: its basically legos [06:54] the default low settings can be played on an intel atom with 2gb of ram [06:54] i mean, it seems like it would have a low polygon count, and as such not be too demanding on gpus. [06:54] but theres things you can add to the game that make it look really good [06:54] NoImNotNineVolt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CFDQKVj3mg&vl=en-US [06:54] if you're saying there's an auto-tesselation mode that can be enabled to increase the polygon count, then cool. [06:55] there is [06:55] most 9 year olds probably dont know how to change a setting so all you normally see is the default low end graphics [06:56] rabbitnightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JTJZocB7kA [06:56] in comparison, minecraft looks like something that people play on phones. [06:56] but once you enable shaders, 3d depth, realistic lighting, realistic water etc it is a lot easier on the eyes [06:56] tesselation, antialiasing [06:57] NoImNotNineVolt: the phone version is very gimped [06:57] i think you're missing my point. [06:57] I think you're missing mine [06:57] i'm missing both you guys [06:57] this is an ubuntu channel [06:57] that minecraft can be made to look merely bad instead of terrible. no, i got that. [06:57] indeed, that. [06:57] and Ubuntu now plays games get used to it [06:58] kdc is a windows game, and i haven't tried it in wine. i play in a vm. [06:58]
