GoopHello, I am having issues booting into my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop image. I can't seem to figure out how to fix the image from my Ubuntu 16.04 live flashdrive. Any help?00:52
jordan1scan you load ubuntu 18.04 onto unetbootin?00:54
Goopjordan1s, I don't understand.00:56
jordan1syou're having issues updating from 16 to 18?00:57
OerHekswe surely need more information01:00
jordan1sI would run a fresh install with unetbootin if that's the case. someone smarter than I may have a different solution though01:01
OerHeksunetbootin is depreciated, rufus or etcher are recommended tools01:02
OerHeksbut what is the real question, why does 18.04 not boot, what goes wrong on what hardware?01:03
Goopjordan1s, OerHeks, I am running Ubuntu 16.04 on a live disk. I have a corrupted image of Ubuntu 18.04 installed on the hard drive that I would like to recover.01:06
GoopThe system was taking too long to reboot, so I manually powered it down. It hasn't booted normally (functionally) since.01:06
open_source2KGood afternoon everyone.01:27
margaritamikeHi folks01:48
margaritamikeHow in heavens name can I get a version of scheme other than 9.1.1, which is what comes with ubuntu01:48
jophishHi all01:54
oceanquakemargaritamike: aren't there several different scheme implementations?  are you after a specific one?01:54
jophishI've got a strange problem and have had trouble pinning down the source01:55
jophishSince rebooting my system has become unbearably slow01:55
jophishhowever nothing significant shows up in htop01:55
jophishand there is no huge disk activity shown in iostat01:55
jophishI'm at a loss as to what it could be01:56
jophishthe slowness manifests itself particularly when typing, for instance into the url bar in Firefox, or in the program search menu01:56
jophishtyping in the terminal seems to be unaffected01:56
RoDiMuS-XEPIC5-2.0.1 (Indolence) + LiCe v5.3.0 (blackwind)02:07
jophishah, it was the cpu frequency being set too low02:07
leftyfbRoDiMuS-X: can we help you with something?02:14
oceanquakeSo I'm on Bionic, but I've a machine with a graphics chipset that needs a 4.19+ kernel for proper support (have already enountered a hard lockup on 4.15.x kernel).  Using Ukuu and pullig in the latest 4.20 series kernel listed, it looks like the accompanying firmware modules don't include a number of ati firmware files (and in fact, I believe one of the missing firmware files may apply to my hardware).  What's the best approach to get a newer02:16
oceanquakekernel series installed with a complete firmware modules package accompanying it?02:16
leftyfboceanquake: 4.20 isn't supported here yet.02:17
oceanquakeleftyfb: How about 4.19?02:18
leftyfboceanquake: where does it say your graphics chipset only works in 4.19+?02:19
leftyfboceanquake: 4.19 was just released 3 months ago. You have a graphics chipset that says it only works with a kernel released 3 months ago?02:22
OerHeksmaybe ryzen with 4.18, but that would be cosmic18.1002:25
Oolor with HWE if it's yet possible, to stay with bionic02:26
Oolbut with 4.1802:26
leftyfbThere's no version of ubuntu with 4.19 https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-generic02:27
GoopI'm trying to fix my broken Ubuntu 18.04 image. I am trying these commands:02:29
Goopubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt02:29
Goopubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda02:29
GoopThe file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.02:29
oceanquakeleftyfb: I'm trying to find my notes on this (still looking), but the graphics chipset itself doesn't tell me anything.  There were specific bug fixes for the chipset series (Vega 10) I have that were implemented in one of the later 4.18 series, with some others coming in in 4.19.  It's a relatively new APU, and unsurprising that the Linux support lags windows.  On 4.15, as I said, I am seeing hard lockups and when the system runs, dmesg shows02:29
oceanquakecrash traces coming from the gpu driver.02:29
dgregory1exit02:33
OerHekssupport for vega is fixed some time ago, and fresh build for 18.04.1 https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-prorad-lin-18-3002:36
OerHeksbut the ppa might be more helpfull02:37
oceanquakeOerHeks: what is the path to the ppa?02:39
OerHeksoibaf i think https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers02:43
OerHeksbut use at your own risc02:43
oceanquakeOerHeks: this would contain backports for changes made to amdgpu that were merged into later kernels?02:44
OerHeksi hope so, there are some tips on DRI3 here too https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-amd-radeon-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux02:46

qwebirc40338Hello everyone. Does someone know how to change the mirrors on the minimal iso? The reason is because I have setup a local mirror for my lab pc's and I would like that the installer used that ( Because of metered internet connection )03:23
ryuoqwebirc40338: you can mess around with /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d but i don't know otherwise.03:24
Sushi-sanMy USB printer is only printing the first page of any job on 18.04 LTS. What should I do?03:24
Sushi-sanThe proper drivers are installed03:24
ryuoqwebirc40338: the only way i know of to install from a mirror is to do a manual install via debootstrap.03:24
JoeLlamado you like matsumaezuke Sushi-san?03:25
Sushi-sanWhat?03:25
qwebirc40338ryuo: thanks it were they were located on the ISO because I would like to use them even within the installer but still thanks for the respons03:25
mx500hi all03:25
mx500ubuntu the best03:26
qwebirc40338and thanks I will try to take a look on debootstrap03:26
ryuoqwebirc40338: it's an expert option. you have to know how to configure Ubuntu yourself.03:26
ryuoqwebirc40338: i can give you my command notes if it would help you.03:27
qwebirc40338sure thanks03:27
mx500_when is ubuntu taking over windows03:29
ryuoqwebirc40338: moment.03:39
qwebirc40338no worries at all ryuo03:39
ryuoqwebirc40338: http://dpaste.com/274030203:45
qwebirc40338thank you very much ryuo that helps alot and looks pretty easy for me to make to me03:48
ryuoqwebirc40338: yes, the main issue is system specific configuration such as block device layout and networking.03:49
qwebirc40338ryuo: yeah true but still its way better for me to create the lab pc's that way for now to not use that much data compared to have to download it from the internet everytime03:53
janat08if you uninstall root, you could just login as root user still?03:57
OerHeksuninstall root, if you could do that .. but no, you can disable root access in your account, and not getting it back. to restore that you need to recovery mode, single user03:59
janat08I meant sudo package04:01
janat08like in splash screen choose login as another user, and enter root04:02
OerHeksthere is no root account, it is disabled.04:02
hggdhjanat08: it is a really bad idea to login as root.04:02
OerHeks!root04:02
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo04:02
OerHeksi think the whole desktop disappears with removing that sudo package04:03
janat08it is possible to leave sudo apt remove in cli, and then enter another sudo command :D04:05
Kumoolwhat's best, laptop-mode-tools or tlp?04:08
SlidingHornKumool: "best" is subjective.  It depends on each user and their requirements/preferences.04:08
leftyfbKumool: apt-cache show <package name>   # use this to read the description of each and decide for yourself. Or try them both and decide what best suits your personal needs.04:10
KumoolWell, does one have more features than the other? which is better mantained04:10
Kumoolit seems laptop-mode-tools is less maintained04:10
OerHeksi think laptop-mode-tools are more kernel advanced04:11
ryuoqwebirc40338: lab PC? you might be interested in using overlayroot.04:12
ryuoqwebirc40338: basically allows the root FS to be used without modification.04:12
ryuoqwebirc40338: you can make a separate home partition that is cleaned up after each user session or something.04:13
ryuoqwebirc40338: it does complicate updates a bit though, so you may want to reboot with this feature disabled when you do updates.04:13
ryuoqwebirc40338: though you can use overlay-chroot to update it, but it tends to have issues with grub.04:14
qwebirc40338I will try to look into that and thanks. About when I call it lab, its virtual servers and ubuntu desktops ( running on Xcp-ng ) there is used everytime I need to test anything like testing new configurations for my online servers, system upgrades etc04:17
ryuoqwebirc40338: i see. well, i use debootstrap for custom installs. if the official installers aren't adequate, it's the only real option left.04:20
ryuoqwebirc40338: maybe you should consider using container templates if you frequently need to redo these "virtual servers".04:20
janat08i modified .bashrc file with export PATH=~/.local/bin and now it looks like my PATH can't be updated by newly installed software04:23
janat08if i delete will it work agian? did i possibly delete bash/bin comment04:24
qwebirc40338ryuo: it could be a good idea to use container templates for the servers, because I'm maybe redoing the servers at least 4 times a month on a busy month. Wich also in the reason that I have a local apt-mirror so I dont have to download all patches from the internet lets say 5 or 6 times everytime I recreate the servers04:24
ryuoqwebirc40338: ah. LXD could be worth looking at then. i use them myself. it's pretty viable.04:30

bluefox83really wish i was installing from scratch with a usb drive. upgrading is almost always a pain in the rear07:59
ducasseit tends to go well for me, but i take precautions08:00
bluefox83i usually find installing from scratch is a lot easier, upgrading tends to run into issues08:02
bluefox83but i didn't have a usb drive on me and i was curious to see how this upgrade was gonna go08:03

pizzaburgerHello! I have an external monitor connected to my laptop. They have different resolutions/sizes, and I need them to have a different scale (one at 100%, other at 200%). In Settings > Devices > Displays you can change the scale, but it applies to both monitors. Is there a possibility to have different scales simultaniously? Running Ubuntu 18.10. Thank you!08:42

SlidingHorntypnix: which version and flavor of ubuntu were you using again?09:21
typnix@SlidingHorn: 18.0409:22
typnixAnd it is Ubuntu-server09:22
typnixBut the guys from ubuntu-server are not responding09:23
SlidingHorntypnix: were you following a particular guide for installation?09:25
typnix@SlidingHorn: yes09:25
SlidingHorntypnix: mind sharing the linK?09:25
typnixhttps://www.linode.com/docs/quick-answers/linux/install-selinux-on-ubuntu/09:26
SlidingHorntypnix: any particular reason you need selinux over apparmor? (It's looking like neither linode nor Ubuntu really actively support it anymore)09:27
ducassethe selinux package itself is not really maintained, last i heard09:28
typnix@SlidingHorn: Because it is a security requirement.09:28
YAp_When I use & in a bash script, what kind of parallelism is that? Am I parallelizing it across all threads in the machine?09:28
SlidingHorntypnix: looking further - Ubuntu started to drop support like 10 years ago.  (See !selinux and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux)09:30
SlidingHornYAp_: that may be more of a question for #bash - this channel is more for ubuntu-specific support09:30
SlidingHorntypnix: (the "if you wish to use..." part does show "instructions" but they're also 7 years old)09:31
YAp_SlidingHorn: Sure, thanks09:32
SlidingHornYAp_: np :)09:32
typnix@SlidingHorn: I've als tried with installing selinux-basics and selinux-policy-default09:32
Oolif you really need SElinux perhaps it's better to use an other distrib. Ubuntu like other make the choice of apparmor,09:32
SlidingHorntypnix: that's not my point...my point is that those instructions are *many* versions behind, as Ubuntu dropped support for the platform a *long* time ago09:33
typnixIs it still possible to install packages from Debian repo's?09:34
SlidingHorntypnix: not in any supported fashion09:34
SlidingHorntypnix: when you say it's "a security requirement" - by whom, might I ask?09:34
typnix@SlidingHorn: I cannot say.09:35
SlidingHorntypnix: understood.  If it's that much of a requirement, Ubuntu may not be the route for you :/09:35

flyingdeathtouchi was expeceting the windows PE to load from flash from iso on flash that i put there with unetboot10:00
flyingdeathtouchanyone got any ideas?10:00
SlidingHornflyingdeathtouch: Where does Ubuntu come into this?10:01
flyingdeathtouchi read ubkern and thought maybe this meant unetboot was some ubuntu kernal program.  im sorry ive been at this a while and im grasping at straws.  do you have any suggestions what i should try?10:03
gigirockflyingdeathtouch: so at the end you have a bios booting windows 7 system ?10:03
gigirockflyingdeathtouch: it is important what are you booting from the usbkey10:04
flyingdeathtouchwell the P.E. doesnt look like windows at all... its just a blank but yes i made the image with a windows 7 iso10:04
fishcookerhow to disable keyboard input?10:04
SlidingHornfishcooker: why do you need to disable the keyboard input?  What version and flavor of ubuntu are you using?10:05
flyingdeathtouchwell the windows things i had to download was actually the PE for win8 but it idnt give any other options and i thought i could ust use the PE to repair the already existing installlation so it could boot correectly.10:06
gigirockflyingdeathtouch: win8 needs a uefi boot system.....10:06

fubTJ-: hey, so I tested this udev rule out by replacing the /sbin/ethtool command with a touch command: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b5TTT4pvQW/11:15
fubthere is no new file in /tmp, so I guess its not executed.11:15
TJ-fub: aha! so presumably the name isn't the 'new' name at that time. So all that is needed is to capture the events/attributes udev sees and figure out a better match combination11:18
OnkelTemHi all11:19
OnkelTemMy PC doesn't suspend. Ubuntu 18.04/KDE. Any ideas why?11:19
fubTJ-: okay, so how can I catch the events?11:19
TJ-fub: disconnect the device, do "udevadm monitor -kup |& tee /tmp/udev.log" plug the device in, wait for the messages to stop, Ctrl+C the udevadm and "pastebinit /tmp/udev.log"11:19
OnkelTemI mean it doesn't suspend automatically. When I do this manually - it works11:20
fubTJ-: all right. Short question, why are you using |& tee and not a ">" here?11:21
fubah, its stderr and stdout, understand.11:21
fubTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K7k4XRk3xx/11:22
fubMaybe line 2343 is interesting.11:23
TJ-fub: so you can see and confirm messages11:23

FuraiSo, I still haven't figured it out after few months. I'm getting "broken packages"/"unmet dependencies" when trying to install winehq-devel and I haven't ever figured out how to fix this. Could something like ppa with latest binutils interfere with that?11:32
fubTJ-: so how do I need to adapt the udev rule?11:32
TJ-fub: I'm trying to figure that out; the rules certainly match the initial add event so even if that is the wrong time to do the ethtool operation, it should still have triggered, so something is preventing that. I'm wondering if another rule earlier does so. Silly idea but rename the .rules file - change the prefix from 99 to 01 and then test again (with the touch /tmp/... )11:36
TJ-fub: I'll do a test here with a USB net device I've lying around11:36
fubok thanks11:41
TJ-fub: grrr, having to build drivers!11:44
fubTJ-: sorry for the hassle :/11:44
TJ-OK, that worked. now to investigate11:46
flux242hi, how do i install ranger without installing python2? apt show ranger shows 'Depends: python:any (<< 2.8), python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~), less' but if i 'sudo apt install ranger' it says 'The following additional packages will be installed:11:49
flux242  libpython-stdlib python python-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal'11:49
invitingdpemananybody out there11:57
TJ-fub: OK, figured it out! The 'udevadm -kup' - "-u" shows attributes created by rules. Using "udevadm -kp --subsystem=match=net" shows the only 'add' is for the kernel-name (in my case 'wlan0') not the news name. So you will have to change the ACTION from "add|change" to "move" and then test again11:57
fubokay, wil ltest it now :)11:58
TJ-fub: if that causes /usr/bin/touch /tmp/... to work then you can switch to the ethtool command11:58
invitingdpemandoes anybody know how to turn a usb drive into a disk image i think i messed it up becuase it downst show up in the boot menu11:59
leafwizHey. maybe I have misunderstood something, but it seems the regular command ls is broken on ubuntu https://pastebin.com/M8YHsgGV . Why does ls /etc/x* print out filenames that does not start with /etc/x ?12:00
TJ-invitingdpeman: that very much depends on which boot method is being used12:00
invitingdpemani use unetbootin12:01
TJ-invitingdpeman: but what boot method is the PC using? BIOS? UEFI?12:01
invitingdpemani think bios12:02
dnlkrgrhello, I'm using version 16.04 on a Lenovo Yoga 920. Super happy with it, but sometimes when I get a black screen and can't do anything other than "REISUB" after closing the lid of the laptop and suspending it. I also got it when I do suspend via terminal. A trigger might be unplugging it while being suspended. Any suggestions on what to look for to fix it?12:02
fubTJ-: so the touch worked (so the udev rule). I then changed my original udev rule also to "move", but running show-eee still shows: EEE status: enabled - active12:04
fubmaybe its too early to execute this command?12:04
TJ-invitingdpeman: if BIOS mode then as long as the USB storage has a partition table and a bootloader the BIOS should load it if you select that USB device to boot from12:04
TJ-fub: you're using the full path to /sbin/ethtool ?12:05
fubTJ-: yes, as you can see in the paste.12:05
invitingdpemanok what about UEFI12:05
fubACTION=="move",SUBSYSTEM=="net",ENV{INTERFACE}=="enx0050b68c5e50",RUN+="/sbin/ethtool --set-eee off $env{INTERFACE}"12:05
fubwhich ethtool also shows /sbin/ethtool12:05
TJ-fub: then the touch proves the rule is good. I suspect you're going to need a later action possibly using a systemd unit file. That should be trivial because it can be set to wait for the device to appear.12:07
TJ-fub: Do "systemctl list-units | grep enx" you should see something like "sys-subsystem-net-devices-enx?????.device12:09
fubTJ-: using sleep in the udev rule before the /sbin/ethtool is not a good idea?12:09
TJ-fub: in which case a service that Requires/After= for that would do it12:09
fubTJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/T64WGZyHsj/12:09
TJ-fub: generally no udev doesn't tolerate long-running processes - things are supposed to do minimal actions and quit at udev time12:10
TJ-fub: I had to write one of these systemd rules yesterday on another system, I'll grab it and use it as a template you can try12:10
fubTJ-: this would be nice, thanks a lot.12:11

wrztlgrmpfHi, I'm having trouble to join the #ubuntu-bugs channel with the matrix app. When I try I always get kicked out. Do you maybe know how to get in?12:24
fubTJ-: so I rebooted, but it has no effect. In the systemctl-status it shows as    Active: inactive (dead)12:26
lipe66good morning12:31
lipe66why the copy and paste command inside the terminal is different the the rest of the system?12:32
TJ-fub: shouldn't ever need a reboot. a oneshot is expected to be inactive(dead) since it ran a command and exited, it doesn't remain running like a system service would12:32
TJ-fub: was their any log entries other than the status, like 'Starting...' and 'Started...'12:33
ducasselipe66: ctrl+c and ctrl+v are already in use in terminals12:33
lipe66ducasse: i need to use shift+ctrl+c as a standard shortcut for copy and shif+ctrl+v for paste in the rest of the system i can ditch the shift12:35
lipe66forget it12:36
fubTJ-: no, no other entry.12:36
lipe66ctr+c is break command12:37
fubTJ-: ah wait, the oneshot command is wrong12:38
fubExecStart=/sbin/ethtool --set-eee off enx0050b68c5e5012:38
fubthe correct command is /sbin/ethtool --set-eee enx0050b68c5e50 eee off12:38
fubjust noticed the little difference12:38
TJ-fub: then that is why the udev rule failed too - I took that from the pastebin RUN+="/sbin/ethtool --set-eee off $env{INTERFACE}"12:39
fubyeah that was the one I had from you a few days ago, sorry for not checking it again.12:40
fublet me try it with the udev rule again12:40

waheediFreeyorp: and that process id is postfix?13:58
FreeyorpYes, specifically the master process13:59
TJ-Guest40: sounds like the Access Point is on a channel the client is not permitted to use - this could be due to the wrong Region (channel map) setting either system-wide or for the WiFi device's own driver.13:59
waheediFreeyorp: why not running postfix directly from gdb?13:59
lotuspsychjeGuest40: can you pastebin sudo lshw -C network please?13:59
waheedimaybe it will have the same results, but just a try won't hurt14:00
sumitcnTJ-: Downloading , aws console . Most of the time I have to refresh it  many times . sometime I have to rebuild the connection by disconnecting it .14:00
Guest40sure here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4wJ8NHpxdY/14:01
sumitcnTJ-:  There are many blogs about how to increase wifi speed , is there really a problem14:01
TJ-sumitcn: so that sounds like packet drop-outs14:01
Freeyorpwaheedi: Gave it a shot, same results, I'm afraid.14:01
TJ-sumitcn: has the problem occurred very recently so we could check logs for clues?14:02
sumitcnyes ,14:02
waheediFreeyorp: expected14:02
sumitcnRight now , I am ubnable to open aws14:02
sumitcnconsole14:03
waheediFreeyorp, postfix was built with debugging flag?14:03
TJ-Freeyorp: what architecture is the system?14:04
Freeyorpwaheedi: debugging symbols are provided externally via the postfix-dbg package; gdb does try to load them automatically, see the output from the first message, but it fails with the same unhelpful message14:04
TJ-sumitcn: show us "pastebinit <( dmesg )"14:04
FreeyorpTJ-: x86_6414:04
TJ-Freeyorp: can you /see/ symbols in the .debug file using objdump ?14:04
Guest40i cannot find out what is wrong here any help will be appreciated (previously on this laptop was windows10 that was working the wifi correctly, so it may be a driver issue here)14:05
sumitcnTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vP3vT7Rb5m/14:06
lotuspsychjeGuest40: check your additional drivers section and see if there are more drivers listed you can try14:06
FreeyorpTJ-: Nothing using objdump -g. I guess I should file a bug against postfix-dbg, then?14:06
lotuspsychjeGuest40: thats in software&sources last tab drivers14:06
ddoobbWhen I click on a download in Firefox link the Open/Save dialogue box completely freezes my browser for 30s or more. Even in safe mode. What could be the reason14:07
Guest40what do you mean guys i am lost14:07
FreeyorpYeah, the postfix .debug file was only 14K in size, compared to eg. the .debug file for libpthread.so.0, which is 2.3M. I suppose that should have been a giveaway.14:08
TJ-sumitcn: At the end of the log are some PCIe AER errors which could be related; can you show us "pastebinit <( lspci -nnk )"14:08
Freeyorp(-dbgsym, rather)14:09
TJ-Freeyorp: sounds like a debian packaging bug then, possibly the symbols aren't being grabbed before the binaries are stripped14:10
sumitcnhttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/wNfO6GQE/14:10
waheediFreeyorp: I would build with debug flag to debug-level, if you really need to debug :)14:11
Guest40driver manager doesn't really says anything here14:11
aneonis there any standard rule order for iptables14:12
aneonsuch as chains, tables, pass, block or anarchy rules will work14:13
TJ-sumitcn: OK, so the AER error deivce is "00:1c.4 PCI bridge" which may be the parent bridge for the wifi, so now lets test if that is so: "pastebinit <(  lspci -tnnvv )"14:13
Guest40actually this is what driver manager says: https://i.imgur.com/XHcPtt1.png14:13
TJ-Freeyorp: remind me, which Ubuntu release is that on?14:14
Freeyorpbionic-updates, so 18.04 LTS14:14
flux242why would ubuntu packagers put a dependency to a specific python3 version? I checked in the project's github and then require python3. Ubuntu packagers changed it to python3.7. Why?14:14
TJ-Freeyorp: I'll look at the source14:15
sumitcnTJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pQV7cxxsZr/ .14:15
noonienhello folks14:15
FreeyorpI just did an aptget -source myself, but you may well find things much faster than I will. :)14:16
Freeyorp(oof, mangled that command somehow, but you get the idea)14:16
noonienare there any guides on booting a luks encrypted root using secureboot with keys in TPM?14:16
sumitcnTJ-:Also it runs after 3 tries and the error was something like this "Failed to contact the server: [Errno socket error] [Errno socket error] [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution"14:17
Guest40anyone can help please to fix wireless problem?14:19
EoflaOEGuest40: What is your wireless problem?14:20
Guest40i cannot find my home network, i am connected via ethernet now14:20
Guest40@eof14:21
Guest40https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4wJ8NHpxdY/14:21
TJ-Freeyorp: looking at debian/rules there is a 'STRIP' variable and a conditional call to "dh_strip -a"14:21
Guest40and this is what driver manager says: https://imgur.com/XHcPtt114:22
TJ-sumitcn: Bingo! I think the cause is the AER errors on 1c.4 bridge which is the parent for the Wifi device. So now we know the cause we can *try* to find out how to fix that!14:22
lotuspsychjeGuest40: is your system up to date please?14:24
sumitcnTJ- : Waiting since 1  month . :P , You know any resources or so .14:25
Guest40yes, also sudo apt update seems everything is updated14:25
TJ-sumitcn: I'm going to suggest trying an ACPI workaround due to the Windows/Linux difference. See http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html14:25
TJ-Freeyorp: looking at "man dh_strip" I see no "-a" which I'm guessing was/is supposed to mean "--automatic-dbgsym"14:28
Guest40lotuspsychje i have almost try everything and could not solve it, my neighbor networks are listed but missing mine and i am getting really crazy nervous to find out why14:28
FreeyorpJust currently sorting through the mysql/mariadb dependency hell ...14:29
lotuspsychjeGuest40: can you pastebin your dmesg please?14:30
FreeyorpTJ-: I'm wondering if the ifneq for finding "debug" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to add -g should be an ifeq instead?14:31
Guest40lotuspsychje sure man here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zMk9v79cDP/14:32
FreeyorpTJ-: Or conversely, if the same testing for nostrip to set STRIP=y should be inverted? I at least don't think the type of test should be the same?14:32
TJ-Guest40: What is the PHY used? "ls -l /sys/class/net/wlp3s0/phy80211"14:33
Guest40lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Ιαν  20 15:51 /sys/class/net/wlp3s0/phy80211 -> ../../ieee80211/phy014:34
TJ-Freeyorp: STRIP=y is the default /unless/ at build-time you manually set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip14:34
TJ-Guest40: OK, now we have "phy0" show us "pastebinit <( iw phy phy0 channels )"14:35
Guest40http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XwWk62bDT8/14:36
FreeyorpTJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/y9kNpJtXGM/ This is the section I was looking at - if it really is just setting STRIP to the default, it's at least redundant or misleading?14:36
FreeyorpIf you can't find the string "nostrip" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, set STRIP=y (ok), if you can't find the string "debug" in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, add -g to DEBUG ... if I'm reading the test correctly, at least one of these seems like it is wrong?14:38
lotuspsychjeGuest40: do you dualboot? is your nvidia graphics driver installed properly?14:39
Guest40it's only linux here , i didn't install any nvidia driver it was installed by default14:40
TJ-Freeyorp: mind-bending isn't it - I take the debug to resolve to if "" != "$(findstring debug)"; then DEBUG += -g; fi ... but note it is a += so -g may have already been set previously14:41
lotuspsychjeGuest40: did you check if your Fn + F (wifi) key combo is not pressed?14:42
FreeyorpTJ-: It's quite a lot of negations! But if it does end up being something like $word in $args, then the DEBUG += seems like it's wrong; if it instead ends up being something like $word not in $args, then the STRIP seems like it's wrong?14:42
Guest40yes lotuspsychje is not pressed wifi is on14:43
Guest40i can see other SSIDS but not mine14:43
lotuspsychjeGuest40: are you sure your ssid is broadcasted?14:44
Guest40yes i can connect via android and my other laptop (windows) and also before upgrade to linux i had windows on this laptop and was pretty connected via wifi14:45
Guest40after i install kubuntu wifi stopped working14:45
sumitcnTJ-:  Thanks , God(TJ) . It is now working fine . I'll let you know  if problem still persist14:45
Guest40only for my home ssid only14:45
qwebirc15670Hello. I have a System 76 Gazelle laptop which came with Ubuntu 16.04.14:45
qwebirc15670I have updated it to Ubuntu 18.04. Now it does not start. It displays that e2efsk needs to be updated14:46
lotuspsychjeGuest40: can you try your home ssid from a liveusb?14:46
qwebirc15670But I do not know how it can be updated. All of my packages are up to date14:47
Guest40from liveusb?14:47
TJ-Freeyorp: I tend to agree with you; it looks like (unless a Makefile over-rides/adds +g) that's the cause14:47
lotuspsychjeGuest40: yes, to see if its recognized there14:47
TJ-sumitcn: so the acpi_osi= fixed it?14:47
Guest40when i installed the ubuntu yesterday it didn't listed on the network either, if you mean this14:48
Guest40i used a USB to install14:48
TJ-sumitcn: in which case that's a bug in the Dell firmware (UEFI/BIOS) ACPI DSDT14:48
sumitcnTJ-:  I am quite checking it ,  but I think nope14:50
sumitcnthe problem still there :(14:50
TJ-Guest40: just had chance to look at your 'iw phy phy0 channels' - notice how all the channel widths are 20MHz ? That means if your AP is using 40/80/160MHz width the client will not see it14:50
TJ-sumitcn: Then the next suggestion I have is to try a more recent kernel. I'd recommend the HardWare Enablement kernel from cosmic which is 4.18, whereas currently the PC is using 4.15.14:51
TJ-!hwe | sumitcn14:51
ubottusumitcn: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack14:51
BluesKajgawd i hope not TJ- i just ordered a new Dell Inspiron 558014:51
Guest40TJ- but how it was previously (with windows) connected and now it is not, so it is not card issue for sure14:52
TJ-Guest40: I'd expect to see also "HT40- HT40+" at least14:52
Guest40so how can i fix that actually in order to connect14:54
Guest40i am not linux expert sorry14:54
jcduttonGuest40, can you smart phone get wifi ?14:54
Guest40yes14:54
=== capella|away is now known as capella
TJ-Guest40: it's a driver issue; the device is using proprietary blobs. Broadcom is well-known on Linux to be problematic14:55
FreeyorpTJ-: Looking further at the rules file, [ -n "$(STRIP)" ] || dh_strip -a   - that is, if $(STRIP) isn't nonzero length (eg. containing a y) then run dh_strip -a ...... two wrongs made a right? :<14:55
Guest40that's bad news, is there any solution about that or i have to forget linux ?14:56
TJ-Freeyorp: errrr noooo... isn't it if len($STRIP) > 0; then continue; else; dhstrip -a; fi14:56
jcduttonGuest40, can you post the output of "dmesg" to pastebin14:56
Guest40jcdutton yes here https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zMk9v79cDP/14:57
jcduttonGuest40, i think you probably just need some firmware14:57
FreeyorpTJ-: That's what I mean - if STRIP=y, then it's not going to run dh_strip?14:57
sumitcnTJ-: When I check this file /boot/grub/grub.cfg . There is no line as such  "linux   /vmlinuz-4.13.0-16-lowlatency root=/dev/mapper/VG_OS-ubuntu_16.04_rootfs ro acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" splash $vt_handoff"14:59
sumitcnI run all the command scripts as given in blog14:59
jcduttonGuest40, does: iwlist scan     give any output?15:00
TJ-Guest40: Have you see this answer, and in particular "Special Case #1" which is indicated for your device with ID [14e4:4357]15:00
TJ-Guest40: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers#6039515:00
TJ-sumitcn: you ran all the commands and rebooted?15:01
Guest40https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mTRggz34bX/15:01
TJ-Freeyorp: it does seem to be very convoluted"15:01
Guest40TJ- yes exactly i saw it but i couldn't understand exactly what i have to follow15:02
sumitcnYes ,  the output of " cat /proc/cmdline " is "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-43-generic root=UUID=c2916277-2472-4c89-969e-5d366be51f89 ro acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" quiet splash vt.handoff=1"15:02
FreeyorpYeah. Forcing the string to be STRIP=  leaves me with stripped packages; forcing the string to be STRIP=n leaves me with packages which do have the debugging symbols. The flip side is that I can now continue as far as what I was after goes, but I feel very sorry for whoever needs to maintain that rules file...15:02
jcduttonGuest40, did you try to install a special driver for it?  Special Case #1  looks like it should work out of the box, not special driver.15:03
Guest40but TJ- for 17.10+ versions it says UNKNOWN , i use 18.04.1 LTS15:03
TJ-Guest40: did you read the "Special Case #1" ?15:05
Guest40jcdutton i don't know because i try a lot of things following this article so i am not sure, but from a clean install it didn't worked either15:05
Guest40yes TJ- but i couldn't understand it clearly15:06
dabizgood morning15:06
jcduttonGuest40, modprobe brcmsmac15:06
Guest40modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'brcmsmac': Operation not permitted15:07
dabizDoes anyone know a good channel i can ask  some software recommendation questions?  I  looking for a good Media server like Plex15:07
jcduttonGuest40, put "sudo" in front of the modprobe15:07
EoflaOEGuest40: Try that command with sudo (sudo modprobe brcmsmac).15:07
Guest40i did it, nothing happens15:08
TJ-Guest40: OK, let me explain. Special Case #1 means the device should be supported by the kernel without the Broadcom-provided 'wl' driver it seems to be using. That case says the 'bcma' driver should handle it. Do "modinfo -F alias bcma | grep 4357" and tell us what you see15:08
=== Vilegent is now known as kk4ewt
Guest40TJ- pci:v000014E4d00004357sv*sd*bc*sc*i*15:09
jcduttonGuest40, lspci -vn    <- to pastebin  It will tell use which driver is trying to use the wifi card15:09
TJ-Guest40: that tells us the 'bcma' driver claims to fully support that device15:09
TJ-Guest40: to switch to it and test that, do "sudo modprobe -r wl && sudo modprobe bcma" and then "iwconfig" to check there's a wifi interface being provided by 'bcma'15:10
Guest40jcdutton https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j8hmN2X93g/15:10
Guest40lo        no wireless extensions.enp2s0    no wireless extensions.15:11
jcduttonOk, it is using the "wl" driver, just need to blacklist that one, so bcm is used15:11
TJ-Freeyorp: can you post a bug report on that?15:11
TJ-Guest40: hmm, so 'bcma' doesn't seem to have managed to handle it. Show us "pastebinit <( dmesg | tail -n 50"15:12
jcduttonGuest40, I have to go, holefully someone else can show you how to blacklist the wl driver.15:12
TJ-Guest40: typo, : Show us "pastebinit <( dmesg | tail -n 50) "15:12
TJ-jcdutton: won't be a help if bcma won't handle it :D15:12
Guest40ok i executed and console stucked15:13
Guest40lol15:13
TJ-Guest40: press Ctrl+C15:13
jcduttonTJ-, lspci shows us that wither wl or bcma can be used, so blacklisting wl will make bcma work15:13
jcduttonthat either ..15:14
TJ-jcdutton: you're missing the point... I've had Guest40 load bcma and it hasn't claimed the device15:14
Guest40http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mg3GCJ32C6/15:14
jcduttonTJ, ok, I don't know what it might be then.15:16
Guest40now, the wifi is dead and nothing on the list :P15:18
TJ-Guest40: let's do a couple of checks. What does this report: "lsmod | grep '^wl\|bcma' "15:18
Guest40bcma                   57344  1 brcmsmac15:19
TJ-Guest40: Well, that proves the bcma driver loaded. I'd have expected to see reports from it in the dmesg output you posted last, but there wasn't anything.15:20
Guest40do you want to re-execute it ?15:21
TJ-Guest40: just in case, yes please "pastebinit <( dmesg | tail -n 50 )"15:21
FreeyorpTJ-: I guess I can make something enough to get people talking. I can't say I know the root cause of the problem yet. :)15:21
cooloutachello all15:21
cooloutacDoes anyone know why secure boot keeps re-enabling itself on my system15:21
Guest40TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qp9tMgck47/15:22
TJ-Freeyorp: just the fact "dbgsym package empty due to debian/rules dh_strip confusion" would be a good report title15:22
cooloutacI'll use this hp laptop for a month.  then for some reason my wifi card doesn't work again,  cause secure boot is mysteriously re-enabled15:22
cooloutacany idea why?15:22
cooloutacI'm not sure why or when it happens15:23
Guest40sorry disconnected15:24
Guest40i didn't saw your last message (if any)15:24
TJ-Guest40: The dmesg didn't change, but I'm wondering if you're missing the 'required firmware' - usually the module is supposed to declare the firmware files it needs and 'modinfo' can list them, but I'm not seeing any here15:24
TJ-Guest40: but just check the package is installed: "apt list linux-firmware"15:25
Guest40https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kSF2qGN4hy/15:26
TJ-Guest40: so the files are there as expected15:26
TJ-Guest40: unfortunately this is a typical experience with Broadcom devices because they do not properly support Linux.15:27
Guest40it seems yes but now the wifi is totaly broken15:27
cooloutacmy wifi breaks unless i disable secure boot and install the driver.15:27
TJ-Guest40: no it's not broken, we can unload the bcma* drivers and reload the 'wl' driver15:27
cooloutacbut secure boot keeps mysteriously enabling itself!15:27
cooloutacwhy and how.  it happens after a week a couple weeks.  mysteriously out of nowhere!15:27
cooloutacno linux for me?15:27
pavloscooloutac: HP provides a code in BIOS to disable secure boot. See https://fixedit.itxpress.biz/2014/06/27/secure-boot-wont-stay-disabled/15:28
Guest40actually as i can see there is no way to connect with wifi15:28
cooloutacpavlos, ya thats an issue of having to type in the code after you set it.15:28
Guest40due brand incompatibility15:28
cooloutacmy issue is different.  It will stay disabled for weeks or months.  then one day its enabled agai and I don't know why.15:29
ioriaGuest40, what broadcom packages have you installed ? if any ....15:30
Guest40as i can remember it was firmware-b43-installer15:31
TJ-Guest40: "sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac" then "lsmod | grep bcma" to check if all is unloaded - we may need to remove other modules15:31
ioriaGuest40, is  bcmwl-kernel-source  installed  ? dpkg -l | grep  bcmwl-kernel-source15:31
TJ-ioria: it's got the 'wl' with configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=6.30.223.271 (r587334) latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.1115:31
ddoobbHey I have a problem that two programs cannot output audio simultaneously. So If I have a video playing (or even paused) in VLC my Youtube videos won't play until I stop the VLC playback.15:32
ioriaTJ-, i see15:32
Guest40i executed sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac" then "lsmod | grep bcma" but no reply messages15:32
ddoobbThis wasn't the case before, only after 18.04 update15:32
TJ-ioria: we've just tried the alternative bcma/brcmsmac but it hasn't created an interface15:32
TJ-Guest40: that's good, it means all the other modules it depended on were unloaded too (hopefully!) so now you can do "sudo modprobe wl" to re-load the 'slightly-working' driver15:33
Guest40yes networks listed again but is missing my home network :P15:34
TJ-ddoobb: if you create a new user account and log-in to that does the same problem occur? It sounds like pulseaudio isn't being started (for your user) and the applications are using ALSA directly (implied by the exlusive control of the audio device)15:34
lotuspsychjeGuest40: did you reboot your isp modem/router yet?15:35
Guest40yes i did it yesterday15:35
Guest40but i am now connected from it via ethernet15:35
TJ-Guest40: right, which as I said at the start is probably because your Access Point is using wider channels, but the PC is only looking for 20MHz channels15:35
cooloutacI figured maybe ubuntu is enabling secure boot again for some reason after an update?15:35
cooloutacor maybe when my battery runs out of juice?  i'm not sure what is going on15:35
cooloutacbut feels like every 2-6 weeks I have to disable secure boot again15:36
TJ-cooloutac: I'm not aware of anything that would cause SB to be re-enabled; that's generally a firmware/user management function15:36
cooloutacmaybe HP is doing some shady stuff i dunno what else to think.15:36
cooloutacmaybe the bios re-enables it after a certain amount of time?15:36
Guest40that laptop has connected before on mine home network (via windows) so now we find out that is a driver broadcom issue that prevents my network to b listed?15:37
TJ-Guest40: as an experiment, in your Wifi Access Point, are you able to restruct channel width to 20Mhz (e.g. 802.11g / 802.11a) not 802.11n / 802.11an15:38
TJ-Guest40: if you can do that, and the PC then sees the Access Point, we know this is definitely the cause15:38
Guest40yeah but i have totaly no idea how to do that15:39
Guest40so this can be configure by entering in router configs?15:39
TJ-Guest40: usually there is a web-page control panel for the wifi on the AP15:39
cooloutacdam I gotta put windows back on this machine.15:40
cooloutacthis is my sisters laptop i set up for her.  Is it possible she is doing something from within ubuntu to renable secure boot by accident?15:40
TJ-Guest40: it may specifically allow you to select the 20/40 MHz channel width, or might sort-of hide the option by a setting that can be 802.11b/g/n (802.11a/n/c for 5GHz)15:40
ddoobbTJ- I can't log out right now but if I enter pulseaudio in terminal I get:15:41
ddoobbE: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.15:41
ddoobbE: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.15:41
lotuspsychjecooloutac: how did you install ubuntu in the first place? dualboot? singleboot? legacy/uefi?15:41
TJ-ddoobb: check it is running as your user with "ps -efly | grep pulseaudio"15:41
TJ-Guest40: you want to avoid the 'n' option and limit it to b/g or a15:42
Guest40you mean this https://i.imgur.com/6EVJMnV.png15:42
ddoobbTJ- yes it shows this process: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog15:43
TJ-ddoobb: then I'm not sure what's going on, most audio-generating applications should be using pulseaudio15:44
TJ-Guest40: Yes, "Bandwidth"15:45
TJ-Guest40: oooo I've noticed something else, your PC won't iniate on channel 12 but your AP is using channel 12... might help to move the AP to use Channel 1115:46
ddoobbTJ- alright thanks for helping15:46
cooloutaclotuspsychje, single boot. uefi15:47
TJ-Guest40: from your earlier 'iw phy phy0 channels' you'll see channel 12 has "No IR" -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XwWk62bDT8/15:47
Guest40ok so first now i must change the channel15:47
Guest40to 11 or something lower than 1215:47
TJ-Guest40: try both, but yes, that is a key15:48
TJ-Guest40: I'm afraid I have to leave now but drop a message on how you get on15:48
Guest40OMG YES15:48
Guest40when i changed the channel15:48
Guest40to 815:48

ferenhello, can someone advise on how I can set a specific dns server for my computer? I'm running ubuntu bionic beaver and can't seem to figure out how to make my dns change stick since resolv.conf is contantly overwritten.15:50
cooloutaclotuspsychje, secureboot only stays off for a couple weeks or so then re-enables itself15:50
EoflaOEGuest40: It means that the driver is not listening to APs on channel 12. Try to connect to see if it works15:50
cooloutacwhy is this happening?15:50
Guest40_YESok man15:50
Guest40_YESi freaking love you15:50
cooloutacwith it enabled the wifi card doesn't work which is the problem.15:50
cooloutachow can I stop it from re-enabling itself mysteriously15:51
lotuspsychjecooloutac: that doesnt sound healthy indeed15:51
Guest40_YESthanks a lot for you help mate, really really appreciated you rock!15:51
cooloutaclotuspsychje, my sister wants me to put windows back on becuase this keeps happening.15:51
cooloutacshe will use the laptop fine for a month or so.  then all of a sudden the wifi card doesn't work because secure boot has been mysteriously re0-enabled15:51
lotuspsychjecooloutac: but you said you installed ubuntu in uefi?15:51
cooloutacwell it must be since secure boot works on it.15:52
lotuspsychjecooloutac: did you try install in legacy?15:52
cooloutacI can try that.  that is an option during the install I assume yes?15:52
lotuspsychjecooloutac: no, you need to set your bios to legacy15:52
cooloutacas I said.  I set the bios to legacy and secure boot disabled.    secure boot mysteriously enables itself again.  even with legacy enabled.15:53
lotuspsychjecooloutac: chanhing uefi settings might influence your system, so dont forget to backup15:53
cooloutacI even put a password on the bios just in case the boogeyman in her house was changing the settings.15:53
lotuspsychjecooloutac: hmm, you might wanna talk to the ##hardware channel for that, didnt hear that one before15:53
cooloutacit still gets set to seure boot again after some time.15:53
cooloutacI'm wondering maybe it happens when her battery dies.  I just don't get why it happens.15:53

xubertI am trying to install to a usb drive, not create a live drive per se but I need to be sure its not installed to the hard drive, ie employers computer.17:53
xubertI did so and the install seemed to go well17:54
xubertbut I am apparently not able to boot from that drive17:54
xubertI am thinking I messed up with the parititoning of the USB drive, I posted a screen shot of the usb drive from minitool partition wizard here https://pasteboard.co/HXlRL7X.png17:55
xubertany thoughts on how to change the setup i have either say with something like fdisk to change the partition id and type (or something, i dont 100% understand partitioning) or how to set up something that can boot from a usb drive and provide persistant storage/settings?17:56

pedrocrdoes anyone know if it's possible to move a 4 disk raid5 to a 4 disk raid6 in place given that I've upgraded the disks to higher capacity?18:00
t2mknif any one like to help me understand issues with initial startup understanding about an android application, please IM. as a developer of the app, I feel every thing is right. but as a non developer one can better help identifying possible fixes.18:00
pedrocrthe mdadm manpage doesn't seem clear on that18:00
TJ-pedrocr: I see it talks about "When an array is converted between RAID5 and RAID6 an intermediate RAID6 layout is used in which the second parity18:03
TJ-              block (Q) is always on the last device.18:03
TJ-pedrocr: it also talks about Grow mode and "...between RAID5 and RAID6,..." so I'd suspect the answer is yes. You can always test it with a bunch of small loopdevs18:04
pedrocrTJ-: yeah, its dubious, later it talks about normally there being an extra device available already18:07
pedrocrtesting with some loopbacks is a good idea too18:07
pedrocrthis machine is also long overdue for a motherboard/cpu/ram replacement so maybe I should just get one that has 5 SATA ports at least and get a 5th disk18:08
xubertNo thoughts on bootable ubuntu usb question? :/18:12
TJ-xubert: what OS are you using right now?18:14
xamithanDo you want persistance livecd or do you want an install to usb18:14
xamithanThe first is easy to do and runs about 40x faster18:14
xubertxamithan: am totally fine with the first, just not sure how18:15
xubertxamithan: I was using xubuntu, is that a option buried somewhere?18:15
dman777I am trying errors=remount-ro but everyonce in awhile my system breaks because it goes into read only mode. Should I remove this option? Is it normal to get errors once in awhile and I should not have the filesystem go into read only?18:16
xamithanI always used unetbootin to do that18:16

xubertam on a winbox at the moment18:20
TJ-xubert: I thought so; it'd help to be on a Linux boot to do decent diagnostics18:21

scottmmjacksonWeird question. I can't get my Alcor MMC reader to work (even with the 4.20.3 kernel) and I checked ubuntu's kernel patch... it disables the Alcor MMC driver?19:06
scottmmjacksonWhy?19:06
scottmmjacksonhttps://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.20.3/0005-configs-based-on-Ubuntu-4.20.0-2.3.patch -- search for CONFIG_MMC_ALCOR19:07
brainwashscottmmjackson: that's a question for #ubuntu-kernel19:07
scottmmjacksonthanks, I'll take it over there.19:07
TJ-scottmmjackson: simple. The mainline builds use the standard Ubuntu config :)19:08
TJ-scottmmjackson: the idea is they are identical builds to the Ubuntu kernel, as far as possible19:09
scottmmjacksonTJ-: The 4.15 version that ships with bionic also lacks the config option, and I'm pretty sure that version should come with the driver.19:11
TJ-according to git log that driver was only added last month so it didn't exist before. "c5413ad815a6 2018-12-17 08:26:24 +0100 N Oleksij Rempel mmc: add new Alcor Micro Cardreader SD/MMC driver"19:13
dangmooI'm trying something just for learning.19:13
scottmmjacksonSo I'm hearing I have to recompile my kernel from source19:14
=== phoenix_firebrd is now known as murthy
TJ-scottmmjackson: Nope, not at all. All you need is to put the module into a DKMS package19:18
renn0xtk9what is the trick if I want to run a programm withotu sudo ? e.g. righ now I have to run "sudo st-flash" I would like to run only like"st-flash"19:20
xamithanYou just do it without the sudo19:21
renn0xtk9xamithan  but then it won't execute properly...19:22
scottmmjacksonxamithan: the tool renn0xtk9 is referring to writes to a serial device.19:22
xamithanBecause it needs root19:22
TJ-scottmmjackson: do you want to do that now? if so download http://iam.tj/projects/ubuntu/mmc_alcor-dkms.tar.gz   -- assuming you save that to $HOME/Downloads/ then do "sudo tar -xvf $HOME/Downloads/mmc_alcor-dksm.tar.gz -C /" then "sudo dkms add mmc_alcor/1.0 && sudo dkms install mmc_alcor/1.0"19:22
xamithanEither log in as root and run the program or use sudo19:22
scottmmjacksonTJ-: thanks, I was looking for that19:23
renn0xtk9xamithan the point of my question is to tell the system that this programm should not need root anymore ....19:23
TJ-scottmmjackson: all I did was grab the single file and add the Makefile and dkms.conf :)19:23
scottmmjacksonhttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14354/read-write-to-a-serial-port-without-root renn0xtk919:24
scottmmjacksonUsually there's a group your current user needs to be added to.19:24
renn0xtk9scottmmjackson yeah I know about that, i am already in the dialout group19:25
TJ-renn0xtk9: is the /dev/ node giving dialout read/write permissions?19:25
renn0xtk9TJ- how to check that? I am not sure I understand19:26
TJ-renn0xtk9: presumably 'st-flash' is trying to access a /dev/ node - so that node would need to give the group dialout r/w permissions19:27
scottmmjacksonTJ-: tar xvf a tar.gz... somehow you knew it's not really gzipped19:27
TJ-scottmmjackson: did I mistype!?19:27
scottmmjacksonTJ-: no, weirdly you got it exactly right, and it's .tar.gz but not actually .gz19:27
scottmmjacksonI did xvzf thinking you made a typo and it yelled at me19:28
TJ-scottmmjackson: I think I mistyped the creation command here!19:28
TJ-scottmmjackson: I created it with -cvf instead of -czf19:31
dash_Lol it always sucks when you use the wrong flags doesn't it xD19:31
renn0xtk9TJ- I have somehting like lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 20 20:31 /dev/stlinkv2_2 -> bus/usb/001/010 is that what you mean?19:32
TJ-renn0xtk9: aha, so you see the owner:group is root:root so being a member of dialout will not help19:32
renn0xtk9Tj- okay how could I change that?19:33
TJ-renn0xtk9: it's a weird path it symlinks to though, is there a /dev/bus/usb/001/010 ?19:33
scottmmjacksonAlright, module build is failing due to missing headers. I think that means I'm wrong about 4.20.3 supporting it. Upgrading to 5 and seeing if that changes things.19:33
scottmmjacksonThanks for the help TJ-19:34
lord4163What method should I use to create a bootable USB stick with persistent storage?19:34
TJ-scottmmjackson: I built it here on 519:34
scottmmjacksonAha, that'll probably be it then.19:34
renn0xtk9Tj- yes there is19:35
TJ-scottmmjackson: it's the missing linux/alcor_pci.h19:35
scottmmjacksonYep. Be back in a second19:35
scottmmjackson> Module mmc_alcor/1.0 already installed on kernel 5.0.0-050000rc2-generic/x86_6419:37
scottmmjacksonsounds like a success to me19:37
TJ-scottmmjackson: I've fixed the DKMS build for earlier versions, just packaging it now19:37
scottmmjacksonAwesome! Yeah, pcmanfm sees the MMC now19:38
