[00:00] Eickmeyer: thanks [00:01] tomreyn: Also, since Ubuntu Studio isn't meant to be run in a VM (the apps are a little resource heavy), we did actual testing on bare metal. [00:02] Eickmeyer: doesn't studdio also default to the low latency kernel? [00:02] tomreyn: Yes, another reason it's not meant for VMs. [00:03] right [00:31] Bilbo0: Back, awaiting the results of tomreyn's request. [00:41] Using any automation tool (automux, tmuxinator, etc) my sessions start corrupted. https://i.imgur.com/tIlXx1J.png It seems some characters in the sendkeys input generated by these tools are being mis-interpreted. Has anyone seen this before? [01:29] hi, can someone help? my hdd shows 1 bad sector [01:30] I had an issue accessing some data - which test should I run? [01:30] petro: shut the computer off. Buy a new hard drive and restore from backup. [01:32] it's a 1tb external drive with data [01:32] do you think it's failing? [01:32] " hi, can someone help? my hdd shows 1 bad sector" [01:32] petro: if you care about the data, get a new drive and restore from backup [01:33] gnome drives - has three tests, short, extended and conveyance - I don't know what those are [01:33] it's just data - what do you mean 'restore from backup?' [01:34] I have a drive I can use - how do I copy /back it up to the new drive? [01:34] should i stop using the drive with the bad sector? [01:34] with something like rsync [01:35] does anyone know how to read the smart tests? [01:35] petro: you should restore from the backup you have of that drive. [01:35] I don't think 1 bad sector is cause for such a radical reaction. disks rellocate bad sectors. though when they start cropping up, it's usually a sign worse things might happen in the near future. [01:36] ^ that last part [01:36] it's not worth the risk [01:36] depends on the setup [01:37] For someone that has no concept of backups, replacing a failing drive is pretty important [01:37] blackflow, but, I think something is seriously wrong [01:37] the smart test result looks worrisome [01:37] and one video - I have - it won't play properly now [01:37] well you could pastebin the output of smartctl -a [01:38] I want to back up the drive - I just haven't before - this drive was really reliable before - I guess I screwed up not backing it up yet [01:38] then you could run fsck. and there's `badblocks` command (just don't run it with -w, that will eat your data) [01:38] petro: you know what they say: data with no backup is worthless :) [01:38] right :( [01:39] I wouldn't do any of that ^^^^ [01:39] I have to install smart tools [01:39] smartmontools [01:39] the more you access this drive, especially with fsck, the more damage it causes [01:40] ^ +1 [01:40] what do I use to configure? [01:40] You already know it's failing. You already know it needs to be replaced. Messing with it more at this point is just begging for more data loss. [01:40] is there something else I can use to pastebin for you? I have no idea how to configure this software [01:41] petro: get another drive, boot ubuntu either from the drive or usb and make an image of the other drive using dd rescue. Then mount fsck that image and copy what you need from it using rsync [01:41] *mount AND fsck [01:41] sorry, not mount, run fsck, then mount, then copy [01:43] petro: while you're picking up a drive, buy a 2nd one for backups. Or sign up for one of the online services like crashplan [01:44] Simple question ... in 18.04 what is the procedure to change the name server to resolve with? Can I directly edit /etc/resolv.conf or must I do something else? [01:45] Vic2: server or desktop? [01:47] leftyfb server [01:47] then yes [01:47] sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda [01:47] SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED [01:47] is that a good sign at least? [01:48] I have a 1tb hdd that I haven't used yet - I should have been backing up on it [01:48] Vic2: actually, no. I might be wrong. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-set-dns-nameservers-in-ubuntu-server-18-04/ [01:48] leftydb ... odd then ... tech support put a server in and it seems the os took it out ... what is the syntax? [01:48] can anyone help with this? tomorrow? [01:48] petro: I gave you the steps you should be following [01:49] ok leftydb, lemme read. :) [01:51] leftydb Ugh! Why oh why did they change to netplan? :( [01:53] Vic2: removing netplan.io and going back to ifupdown is just another google away [01:53] Bashing-om: Are you still on? [01:54] Bashing-om: tomreyn https://pastebin.com/iHRGCExS [01:54] Bilbo0: Looking. [01:54] blackflow, can you help? Are you able to interpret smart data? [01:54] I was able to get output [01:55] petro: you really don't want to listen do you? [01:55] Bashing-om: That aside, you seemed to have had some other thoughts regarding my driver, care to share? [01:57] leftydb .. the sysadmin did that!!!! Now how do I do this with ifupdown? :) [01:57] petro: link? [01:58] Vic2: the sysadmin did what? [02:00] Bilbo0: Sure, my thought is to get this system updated, make sure the package manager is consistent, purge the present nvidia driver., and install the 396 version driver from our PPA. [02:00] blackflow, https://pastebin.com/RLD5NiHp [02:01] I work early tomorrow so I will have to resume this project tomorrow - but, is it safe to turn off the drive and not use it for now? [02:01] I need to learn how to backup :-/ rsync or ddrescue? [02:02] Bashing-om: I remember you saying 410 was recommended [02:02] leftydb went back to ifupdown ... found an article ... any recommendations of nameservers? Google? What would the IP be (I know not in the scope of this chat - sorry) [02:02] Vic2: 1.1.1.1 [02:02] Bashing-om: And how much do I have to fear of my kernel and my driver not matching and thus my PC not loading? [02:03] Vic2: unless you need local dns resolution, then you should be using whatever local dns server you've got on the network, preferably with dns forwarding to the outside [02:05] petro: the only thing that output shows is that you have 1 pending sector -- meaning it will be reallocated the next time the write on it fails [02:05] should I run the extended test or is that too much ? [02:05] petro: but that's one OLD drive so yeah, definitely start looking for a replacement [02:05] blackflow, what does that mean? [02:05] leftyfb ... makes sense. the isp said that the 'funky nameserver setup' wasn't working, so trying to get it up until someone qualified can actually look at it. :p [02:05] is it ready to fail? [02:06] petro: YES! [02:06] yeah, I have a Seagate that's a bit newer than it but not the newest one out there.... I was going to use it as backup....what do you think? [02:06] 1 pending sector - means it is going to fail soon? [02:06] no way to know [02:06] Bilbo0: 410 is what nvidia recommends - but in xenial (16.04) 396 is the best we can do. I do expect it will work, [02:07] I have a 3 year old drive with 82 reallocated sectors, in a mirror setup, and it's still chugging along fine [02:07] if i create a backup image - can I fix this problem? [02:07] should I use ddrescue? [02:07] petro: why do you keep asking questions I already answered for you and completely ignoring everything I tell you? [02:07] I haven't had a problem until tonight - was watching a movie and it stopped 1/4 way through.... then I had error msgs after I rebooted my machine - the hdd is in an enclosure [02:08] Bashing-om: OK but what about the kernel drjver matchup thing? I don't want a repeat of where the OS won't boot again after my last kernel update [02:08] leftyfb, you're too confusing [02:08] I know ddrescue is what to use, though [02:09] petro: so ask for clarification, don't completely ignore and ask all the same questions I answered [02:09] leftyfb, my ubuntu OS is not the failing drive -does that change your answer at all? [02:10] petro: just back up the data at your earliest convenience, it's that simple [02:10] It's a HDD in an enclosure - ext4 - 1tb drive - 800gb of data or so [02:10] Bilbo0: Presenly you are running with security issues as you have not updated the system - showing 59 updates availabale .. and the biggy is Xorg. see ' man xorg ' and you will agree the updates for your system are needed. [02:10] petro: dd rescue will make an image file of your drive. So the drive where you save this needs to be slightly bigger than the drive you're backing up. Use this to create your image. The package gddrescue has a nice GUI if the terminal scares you. [02:10] back up the data, how? I do appreciate leftfb offering steps... that is what I am looking for [02:11] but, I want it to be easy/understandable :) [02:11] petro: once that's done, you can try running fsck -y -f on the image file you created [02:11] petro: then mount the image with: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image/file /mnt/ [02:11] petro: then use rsync to copy data from it to your new drive [02:12] my other HDD - I have that is free - is the same size, though [02:12] will it work? [02:12] petro: I would buy another drive [02:13] petro: and "same size" might not actually be the same size like you assume [02:13] even if the data is less than 1tb? [02:13] the capacity matters? [02:13] yes [02:16] what file system should be used on a usb drive? turns out ntfs has high cpu use [02:16] Deihmos: depends on your needs [02:16] i use the drive to store movies and tv shows [02:17] Bashing-om: But none of them are security updates. I read the man xorg, well glanced through it, I don't understand what it actually does, but what does it have to do with kernels and drivers anyway? [02:17] Deihmos: does it need to be read by Windows or OSX? [02:17] also it doesnt show me 59 updates [02:17] over samba [02:17] not directly [02:17] Deihmos: then ext4 is fine [02:18] 32fat should be fine [02:18] Unless you are using it for Linux itself [02:18] Bilbo0: not if the drive is larger than 2TB or you need to copy files to it larger than 4G. It's also slower than NTFS [02:19] so, I should buy a new hdd - one that is bigger - so over 1tb? [02:19] petro: yes, as I already told you [02:20] Bilbo0: "59 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." .. Xorg is what the GUI runs under. [02:20] leftyfb: I thought we were talking about a usb flash drive. [02:21] Bilbo0: I wouldn't assume someone is using a usb flash drive to share files over SMB on linux. Though I could be wrong. But I hope not. [02:22] Drive is 8TB [02:22] then it's not a usb flash drive. And fat32 won't work [02:22] right right, my mistake [02:22] Problem now is how the hell am I going to back it up [02:23] Deihmos: get another 8TB and RAID1 or RAID 10 or 5 [02:23] Deihmos: or get a larger drive/NAS to back it up to [02:24] Maybe I can create an ext4 partition then move the files then resize [02:24] I wonder if that will work [02:24] it should [02:24] though dangerous [02:26] Hey I have some audio troubles. I am doing the dumb thing of trying to build up my DE from a base ubuntu install up. I installed asla-base and pulseaudio via apt but pulse cna't see all of my devices.. [02:27] there a collection of packages that I can grab or some config files I can look at? [02:28] hello :) [02:28] o/ [02:30] what do you usually do when you have a package that is blocking other apps to be installed? [02:32] you wait for it to finish [02:32] or kill it if you think something is wrong [02:33] if you want to install multiple things, you can chain them with spaces [02:33] ie apt install vi mpd mpc tmux etc. [02:33] ok you answer was correctly but my question was not the best to explain my problem [02:34] in short, java is working on my ubuntu machine but i have problem to install other software due java [02:34] java is trying to update and thus locking you out? [02:35] reddaj: please pastebin what you are trying to do with the errors you are getting [02:35] ok let me do it [02:35] quick question, in mint you could download all the wallpapers with the package mint-backgrounds-*. does anyone know where i can download those images for use in ubuntu? [02:41] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bV6QXyPVJ6/ [02:41] how do you remove ownership of a path [02:41] i think i found what i was looking for. thanks anyone that read my last message [02:41] glad you solved it ash [02:42] ash_foxie: for future reference, this isn't the place to ask about Mint. They have their own support channel [02:42] !mint [02:42] The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [02:42] it really wasn't a mint quesiton [02:42] chown name file - for example [02:42] it absolutely was a mint question. "in mint... package mint-backgrounds.." [02:43] "in mint I can' do this, how do in ubuntu" [02:43] indeed. [02:44] doesn't every file need to have an owner? [02:45] it does. you can't remove ownership, only change it. chown does it. you need to be root to change ownership. [02:45] hi guys, I'm having issues with stdin, it seems unavailable to java [02:45] ideas? [02:46] blackflow, thanks. I just changed it back to root. [02:47] yeah.. having devices not listed in pavucontrol but in aplay -l [02:47] hmm [02:48] how can I check if stdio is available? [02:48] hello everyone, I am not able to send one email from my console in ubuntu, using mail , I am wondering how could i configure it [02:48] wyre: stdio or stdin [02:48] blackflow, well the issue is with stdin [02:48] it's been forever since I touched email.. [02:49] wyre: what makes you think there's no stdin? every process has it, the question is only what the program does about it [02:49] tona: what's the error you get? [02:50] blackflow, java is having issues when I run my .jar binaries with stdin [02:50] Having a really strange issue installing that I can't seem to find anyone else expereincing. Is this the right place to ask? [02:50] wyre: not sure I understand. can you give an example command you're trying? [02:50] i type mail and after type the last email , This is the mail system at host not found, I am wondring what should i configure in order to use mail command [02:51] Guest41000: if it's about Ubuntu, then yeah [02:51] blackflow, I've talking with spigot devs about an error that I gives when I start spigot (minecraft server) about stdin [02:51] and then I cannot use server console [02:52] (about or related with how java handles stdin) [02:52] So I've got a razer blade stealth. Previously was running fedora. Installed ubuntu. Installer crashed during installation, after formatting my disk. NOw when I try to use the live cd to install, the desktop environment constantly crashes [02:52] wyre: that's specific to that program. on linux, every process has the stdin fd. what the program does with it, is that program's problem. [02:52] tona: can you pastebin the full example and output? [02:53] tona: but in short, iirc mail requires local sendmail binary and an MTA running, on ubuntu that should pull in and set up postfix [02:53] blackflow, according to Spigot devs ... is not a Spigot issue [02:53] it is a problem between java and OS [02:53] and I think the same [02:53] right. it's a problem between java. [02:54] https://bpaste.net/show/fdc311537a5e [02:54] so I take it the sigTERM experiment failed? [02:54] that's the output [02:54] Guest41000, did you verify the ISO download? (md5sum, sha..) & then verified install media (when you see person-circle+keyboard you hit space/key & you'll see a menu allowing verifiction of install-media) - also telling us release is helpful (ie. what you see varies on release/version/flavor) [02:54] blackflow, I am not able to paste since it is in another computer, it only has console :( [02:54] blackflow, sigTERM? [02:54] I don't get you [02:54] Host or domain name not found. Name service error, this is the error , there are many lines like this one [02:55] wyre: oh sorry, did I confuse you with someone else who was trying to set up that as a service through screen yesterday? [02:55] Tried 3 different installers: Kubuntu 18.10, Kubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 18.10), Yes on verification [02:55] blackflow, how could i configure it ? [02:55] blackflow, np :-) [02:55] wyre: sorry. anyway that totally looks like a java problem [02:55] like a #java problem, to be precise :) [02:56] blackflow, cannot I reinstall java in here? [02:56] or reconfigure it? [02:56] or try oracle jrm? [02:56] (instead of openjdk, I mean) [02:56] tona: is that `mail` from mailutils? [02:57] wyre: I wouldn't know what causes that issue. I'd start by asking more knowledgeable java people in #java [02:57] blackflow, also just double checked the shasums, they match [02:57] wyre: recomfigure: there is ' sudo update-alternatives --config java ' . Might help ?? [02:58] Bashing-om, let's try [02:58] yes blackflow [03:01] tona: so installing mailutils should've installed postfix, and `mail` should be using it to send mail. I'd ask you to pastebin the postfix logs at /var/log/mail.log. you can run for example `tail -n 20 /var/log/mail.log | nc termbin.com 9999` and post here the URL you get. Just check first if that file exists, I tend to confuse maillog filenames across distros [03:01] blackflow, I type /var/log/mail.err, and I got this , sSMTP[]: Unable to locate mail Cannot open mail:25 [03:01] Blackflow, just booted PartedMagic, not even seeing my disk anymore. As best I can tell the ubuntu installer really screwed it up. Any ideas? [03:02] Guest41000: sorry none at this moment, and I can't get into your problem now, I have to scram soon [03:02] All good. Thanks anyway [03:03] got it [03:03] had to purge pulseaudio, then reinstall it [03:03] not sure why this worked this time [03:04] Guest41000: "sudo wipefs /dev/sda". Note that you should not just trust me that that command is safe (even though it is), you should run "man wipefs" and confirm for yourself that the command will just list all visible filesystems. [03:05] yeah I can't get a shell anywhere [03:05] Gnome crashes when I try to open one [03:07] tona: oh wait, is that ssmtp you've got there? [03:07] try tty 1? [03:08] Bashing-om, shell on PartedMagic worked, just seeing one DOS partition [03:09] tona: sorry I have to leave now. if you have ssmtp there, and that error log suggests you might be, then you need to set up ssmtp for an upstream MTA likely with valid authentication. perhaps someone else can help with details, I really have to vanish now. [03:13] I'd just like to say... that fact that nier automata runs on linux out of the box on steam is kinda BA === dl is now known as Guest4436 [03:14] Guest41000: Just a thouhgt. Gentoo uses LVM and maybe something in the partition table is messing with installing a non LVM system ? [03:16] Bashing-om Wasn't using LVM, but was trying to set up LVM so my disk would be encrpted [03:17] Hi all - I need serious help. Im trying to recover a encrypted home drive on a mounted luks drive. I have my passphase but i have not written but i dont have my mount password - does anyone out there have any experience with this? [03:19] I will give a reward to anyone that can help with this [03:28] anyone know how to make a deb? [03:29] zap0, http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html but you might want to be more specific [03:30] i have a directory and executable (i built) and a few subfolders/media files. i want to put them all together so someone can "install" it? [03:30] sort of expecting to be told to go somewhere else but can anyone assist me with installing an icon theme? specifically the variations of mint-y [03:31] zap0 you could archive it into a tar.xz file or something and have a file in there that tells the user what command to run in order to run the install script [03:37] zap0, other alternatives (if open-source) is PPA [03:38] Hi all - I need serious help. Im trying to recover a encrypted home drive on a mounted luks drive. I have my passphase but i have not written but i dont have my mount password - does anyone out there have any experience with this? [03:38] zap0, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1345/what-is-the-simplest-debian-packaging-guide maybe useful.. [03:42] that seems quite good. [03:55] bashing-om are you there? [03:56] Anyone on who can answer a few questions about geforce graphic drivers and kernels? [03:58] Bitbadger: if you forgot your encrypted password, there's nothing that can be done [03:59] @leftyfb i have my encrypted password but i dont have my mount pw [03:59] Bitbadger: that is an encrypted password. You are out of luck === Mr_Pan is now known as Guest85684 [04:02] @leftryfb its not true - i just figured it out [04:02] and found the mount key [04:03] after 3 days of solid figuring out [04:03] thx anyway [04:03] Bitbadger: you never mentioned you had a "mount key" [04:03] i dont have the mount key [04:03] i had lost it [04:04] but i found out a way to recover it [04:04] took me days [04:04] jesus im so pleased right now [04:04] Bitbadger: how were you able to recover a mount key? [04:06] I followed a tutorial i found on ubuntuforums.com how to mount encrypted home partion / partition is borked [04:07] Bitbadger: got a link? Because without a password/passphrase/key file, there's no way to decrypt an encrypted volume. If you found a way, then that is a serious security flaw. [04:08] yes it is a security flaw [04:08] will give u the link in a moment [04:09] i still needed to know my personal password but i didn't need my mount key [04:09] i managed to recover my mount key [04:09] please share the link [04:09] I really do not think what you are saying is accurate === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [04:17] im in- what happened was my drive became corrupted [04:17] so i had to go through this crazy process combining like 4 different tutorials [04:19] i recoved my mount pass but had my personal pass [04:19] the guy called kevdog on the ubuntu forums [04:19] he helped [04:21] Bitbadger: link? [04:21] its on my other pc [04:21] let me find it again [04:22] are you going to patch it? [04:22] It should be reported if what you say is true [04:22] though I seriously doubt there's full understanding of what was actually wrong and what was fixed [04:23] mmmm... but the problem is that the ubuntu is buggy and corrupted my drive, if it wasn't for this security flaw i would have lost a fortune [04:23] thank god it was there [04:25] Ubuntu is no buggy in that it would corrupt a drive on it's own. Also, since you have not provided a link after being asked 3 times in 20 minutes, I do not think there's a problem as you say there is. [04:25] Bitbadger, your messages point more to your misunderstanding, and not to flaw in my opinion. providing the link would gain you some some credibility [04:27] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/cosmic/en/man1/ecryptfs-recover-private.1.html [04:27] i used a combination of diff tutorials [04:27] this the program you use [04:27] ecryptfs [04:28] theres a wrapped passphase hidden inside the home folder [04:28] that prompts for a password [04:28] its accessable through this hack [04:29] i said i had my login pw [04:29] i didnt have my mount key [04:29] what mount key? [04:30] ecryptfs-recover-private is not a "hack" [04:30] thats not a hack, it's working as designed [04:30] and not a security issue [04:30] i just straight hacked your system man [04:30] newbs [04:31] ah, so you're a troll then? [04:31] no im just hapy i got back into my drive [04:31] its been killng me [04:31] i almost had a heart attack [04:37] hello dears [04:44] hey all, ubuntu user here, been running i3 for awhile but was wondering what the name is of these gtk utilities that popup from time to time, specifically file prompts [04:44] i want to get rid of the ones that came with ubuntu and potentially replace them with something more minimal [04:45] also the default image viewer i'd like to replace as well :P [04:46] example of the file prompt that apps seem to share: https://taky.s3.amazonaws.com/wOVSsOAKT.png [04:52] hello world [04:54] hey for some reason my application Anki isn't working!!! in my ubuntu 18.04 budgie === Mr_Pan is now known as Guest85775 [04:58] ghostnik11, you should ask in the proper channel as budgie is not a supported DE [04:59] this channel is for vanilla Ubuntu [04:59] Rabbitnightmare, oh okay thanks. [04:59] issue being is that it is hard to ensure proper compatibility with all the desktops out there [05:00] budgie has a lot of issues which is why I never use it personally [05:01] My psensor is calling my cpu die pch_cannonlake when I am 99 per cent sure my cpu is coffeelake architecture. Is this a psensor issue or Ubuntu and how can I confirm elsewhere? [05:01] Rabbitnightmare, main reason why i use it for my baytrail 2 in 1 asus tablet is because it has the touch screen capability when it comes to scrolling webpages and etc. [05:01] Rabbitnightmare: not true: https://ubuntubudgie.org/blog/2016/11/09/it-s-official [05:01] jacober: /proc/cpuinfo [05:02] leftyfb, ubuntubudgie is not ubuntu [05:03] its an entirely different distro [05:03] leftyfb: thanks. all came up "command not found" except the model name which doesn't exactly solve the cannon vice coffeelake issue :-S [05:03] jacober: cat /proc/cpuinfo [05:03] it is made by a remix group of individuals much like kubuntu [05:03] Oh, whats the difference from bash? [05:04] Just curious [05:04] Rabbitnightmare: incorrect: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/flavours [05:04] Rabbitnightmare: kubuntu and budgie are both official favors of ubuntu [05:04] Rabbitnightmare: As such, it is verymuch supported here. [05:12] prueba [05:21] Rabbitnightmare, hey i got it working. i just installed one from repos and installed the latest version from their website. did a sudo make install and now its working and i can study [05:23] Rabbitnightmare, my only question is how can i put it on the doc b/c i don't have a symbol for it and only can call it up from terminal [05:47] Hey all === Guest85775 is now known as Mr-Pan [05:56] good morning headrx === Mr-Pan is now known as Mr_Pan [05:56] Morning [06:05] Anyone on who can answer a few questions about geforce graphic drivers and kernels? [06:09] Bilbo0: feel free to re-ask your issue to the channel please [06:13] I get very intermittent times when the graphics go wonky and at the same time my PC freezes up. It was suggested I update my drivers, aside from how to do that, there is also the issue that I could't start my PC for awhile because of a kernel update that for some reason I couldnt revert back for awhile on. [06:13] I was eventually told that kernel and drivers need to match, but then someone else said they don't [06:13] I want to make sure Mint still loads after I update my drivers, after finding out HOW to update my drivers [06:13] also I want to update my kernel without fear of not being able to boot my PC [06:19] Anyone aware about PPA for Vala package [06:19] lotuspsychje: Can you help? [06:21] What you guys suggest ,, which will be good PPA or source installation for VALA [06:42] prueba [06:45] Bilbo0: are you on mint? [06:47] This is ubuntu [06:50] Bilbo0: can you pastebin: sudo lshw -C video && uname -a && lsb_release -a please [06:53] nisankhindia: we dont really reccomend ppa's here [06:53] lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/SiZDKQ5s [06:54] hello [06:55] Bilbo0: lsb_release -a is missing, and your system is not up to date [07:01] what's the best driver to use for netgear wag511 on ubuntu 18.04 [07:01] it's a pmcica card [07:01] is it ath5k [07:01] it disconnects me after a minute on the network [07:04] MiguelPeru: is your system up to date please? [07:11] lotuspsychje, yes sir! I recently updated it [07:11] lotuspsychje, that card is 10 years old tho [07:12] I tried updating the firmware but no one has written 1 for it [07:14] MiguelPeru: did the card work well on another ubuntu version? [07:15] is there a terminal app that will show cpu usage, disk activity and so so on [07:16] similar to windows performance monitor or task manager [07:16] lotuspsychje, I tried it in ubuntu 10.04 18.04 [07:17] both have driver problems [07:17] I first tried it in 2010 then years later I don't think the card is broko [07:17] Deihmos: most people use htop [07:18] !atheros | MiguelPeru check here maybe [07:18] MiguelPeru check here maybe: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:18] MiguelPeru: if your card is so old, maybe you could file a new !bug or affect to an existing bug [07:19] MiguelPeru: but the older hardware gets, the less effort will be taken, drivers might get out of linux-firmware too [07:22] what linux firmware would be for mine? [07:22] wag511 [07:23] MiguelPeru: sudo lshw -C network, and check driver= [07:23] hello [07:23] anyone there? [07:23] hey [07:24] dpsmi: How are things? [07:26] lotuspsychje, mine says qualcomm atheros [07:26] quadrathoch2_: thanks. I have that [07:27] Deihmos: no problem [07:28] I just tried my first installation of Ubuntu with secure boot enabled. I get as far as the mokmanager, but there's no indication of what I'm actually supposed to enroll. What am I meant to do here? [07:29] not too bad@liveoverflow [07:29] lotuspsychje, driver is ath5k [07:30] Iolo: if you want to use out-of-tree modules, disable validation [07:30] lotuspsychje, kernel driver in use ath5k and kernel module also says ath5k [07:34] I'll be back [07:45] Client: HexChat 2.14.2 • OS: Ubuntu "cosmic" 18.10 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4310U CPU @ 2.00GHz (1.65GHz) • Memory: Physical: 15.2 GiB Total (14.3 GiB Free) Swap: 2.0 GiB Total (2.0 GiB Free) • Storage: 383.3 GB / 968.0 GB (584.7 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller • Uptime: 59m 43s [07:46] oldguy: please don't do that here [07:46]
