[00:00] The most interesting thing is, after it got stuck, I cannot get interrupted from that status. That is, C-c(SIGINT) and C-z(SIGSTOP) are ignored. However, manually send a SIGTERM via kill still works. [00:01] Anyone has any ideas that how I can fix this problem without restart current login-session? [00:03] Greetings, I've some trouble right now, I successfully installed Ubuntu 18.10, but at the first reboot I get dropped at the Grub CLI (prompt) as if the bootloader did not install properly. [00:03] I've tried to use Boot-repair as I suggest in the forum, I can provide the output if it helps. [00:04] But I couldn't effect any repair because Boot-repair kept telling me that I needed to close all package managers that were running (there were none; I was running off the Live CD) [00:05] Jeez! I even can't reboot my machine! [00:05] The reboot command got stucked [00:06] quality: What shows ' getent passwd $USER ' ? [00:08] Bashing-om: cannot run that command now, the whole system has got stuck [00:08] Bashing-om: even sysrq not working [00:09] Bashing-om: I'm pretty sure I have enabled it [00:09] quality: Yuk ! .. Out of memory ? wait a bit .. and what shows ' free -m ' ? [00:10] Okay it just halted [00:10] I can reboot it now [00:10] Bashing-om: Mem: 32032 2805 27907 191 1319 2594 [00:10] Bashing-om: Swap: 16238 0 16238 [00:10] Bashing-om: total used free shared buff/cache available [00:11] Bashing-om: ^^just after reboot [00:12] quality: pastebin that free output so we have aligned formatting. please.

[01:02] no Sue [01:02] SBTlauien: you might want to name him scala as you are a sbt fan [01:03] *Scala* [01:06] I have a server at OVH with Ubuntu 14.04. I have allocated a OVH "failover-ip" to the server which is assigned as an alias of the primary ethernet interface. I want all outgoing traffic to be routed through this address. How do I do that? [01:44] hello. I have a loop in the login screen. But if I write "sudo -i" and then "startx" enter to ubuntu, but I can't with my user. How can I fix this? [01:47] yemino: Do "you" have authorization to access the desktop ? ' ls -al .ICEauthority .Xauthority ' .

[01:58] hi guys. im trying to use a linux binary distributed software, which is only available in russian. i found the text files for english translation, and they work as long as i launch the program from the directory in dolphin via double click. if i create a launcher in the menu for it, the program runs in russian still. how could i get around this? [02:00] yemino: Sorry - got cuaht up elsewhere, yeah - change the owner to "you" : [02:01] nevermind i figured it out.. had to set the work path to the executable directory [02:02] yemino: sudo chown ramrebol:ramrebol .Xauthority - see if that works after a reboot for the change to take effect. === daniel is now known as Guest64830 [02:08] thanks Bashing-om , now is: [02:08] -rw------- 1 root root 652 feb 4 22:38 .ICEauthority [02:08] -rw------- 1 ramrebol ramrebol 102 feb 4 22:38 .Xauthority [02:08] do you think is ok? [02:09] yes, now logout/login again [02:14] yemino: No, you want that ramrebol owns and is grouped to both .. and as well /ramrebol: ' ls -ld ../ramrebol /home ' where /home should presently show root. [02:17] hello. I cotinues with the problem: I can "startx" after write "sudo -i", but if I try to loggin with my user occurs a loops. [02:18] I have now -rw------- 1 root root 102 feb 4 23:13 .Xauthority [02:19] yemino: At the login screen, can you log into the system as "you" - ctl+alt+F2 ? [02:20] I can do "ctl+alt+f2" and login in that black screen, but I can't do startx [02:20] appears an error [02:22] yemino: Presently "startx" is not a factor .. We do need to confirm htat you own the .ICEauthority. .Xauthority and the /ramrebol directory. Else no GUI. [02:25] yemino: As an asside if you have run the bad bad 'sudo startx' then root may own now a bunch of stuff instead of "you" . === Freddish_ is now known as Freddish [02:26] if I run "sudo startx" as "my user" appears an error [02:27] yemino: NO! .. sudo + startx is for sure going to mess up access ! === dubiuk_ is now known as dubiuk [02:30] yemino: Better explanation of why not: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo .

I'm loving it...but it doesn't pick up my external Bluray drive (Archgon MD-3102S-U3 USB 3.0 External Blu-ray Combo). Is that something that you'd expect to work, or is that one of those 'some hardware doesn't work' kind of a things? [02:55] I think that my user the owner of all the important files of its home https://pastebin.com/pg6hmrtY [02:55] yemino: ^^ show us ' sudo fdisk -lu ' sow we know the identifucation of the USB drive .. then we see what a file system check reveals . [02:57] Bashing-om: I have nothing plugged to the usb input (I forgot the last tilme that I used the USB port) [02:57] [RobDude]: i'd expect it to just work, mine did [02:58] <[RobDude]> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/X6DYTD5JYC/ [02:58] <[RobDude]> I'm not sure what all of those '/loop**' devices are - I recognize my harddrives/ssd though [03:00] I think that there are nothing wrong in the output, (I think) https://pastebin.com/y7WZs9q5 [03:00] [RobDude]: the loop devices are probably snaps, pastebin the output of 'lsblk' [03:01] <[RobDude]> Oh crap [03:02] <[RobDude]> I'm sorry - this is embarrassing. I think it wasn't working because I hadn't put in a disk [03:02] yemino: Then we have our homework to do to find out what USB 1.1-4 is . And why do you have .dbus and .gvfs directorues in your /home ? and what shows ' sudo ls -al /root/.dbus ' ? [03:03] <[RobDude]> Now that I've inserted a disk, it shows up in 'Files' [03:03] [RobDude]: bingo :) [03:03] <[RobDude]> Thanks all [03:03] [RobDude]: :) [03:04] Thanks Bashing-om for your patience. Here is the output https://pastebin.com/AvS3y57X [03:05] I don't know why I have .dbus and .gvfs directorues in my home. Normally I don't install thinks if is not neccesary [03:07] yemino: Well, /root/ is the correct location for the .dbus directory . I can have no idea of why it would also be in your /home . One must have dbus consistent to do anything on the system. [03:08] Bashing-om: nah, ~/.dbus is normal [03:11] may the system thought that I'm as "super" user than ms root :P (crearly that is not true) [03:11] ducasse: yemino In gnome ? as I run xfce and .dbus is not present on my /home. [03:13] Bashing-om: yes, I'm in gnome (Ubuntu 18.04) [03:14] thanks ducasse for your contribution [03:14] yemino: Then for sure you do not want to start the gnome desktop with 'startx'. [03:15] Bashing-om: of course, I just want to use the login screen, choise my user name and add the pass. The "startx solution" was a momentary desperate solution [03:20] yemino: Understood. from the F2 console, change .Xauthority. ' sudo chown ramrebol:ramrebol .Xauthority ' reboot and tell us what happens now . [03:28] hello, I'm yemino (the loop screen guy). Continues the same problem :/ [03:29] but now I'm not running the "sudo -i" and "startx" [03:29] ramrebol: still booting to a black screen, yes ? [03:30] ramrebol: at least use sudo -iH, not just -i - you keep messing up permissions otherwise [03:31] now I'm in the "CRTL+F2" and rinning irssi as old school. [03:32] thank ducasse , if I need to use the windows (to send a pastebin, for example) I will use the -iH [03:33] ramrebol: you can send pastebins by adding '| pastebinit' to the end of commands [03:34] Bashing-om: Continues the same problem: in the loggin screen I can write my user name and password, but after hit enter appears the same login screen (a loop) [03:35] ramrebol: show us what the status of the graphic card is ' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA | pastebinit ' . [03:40] Bashing-om: paste.ubuntu.com/p/vJxSb8jTxd [03:41] It is possible to copy+paste in this "old" mode? (to copy the url of the partebin)= [03:44] ramrebol: console (F2) does not have the ammenities of a terminal emulator :( .. and we have hybrid graphics . pastebin lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - see now if a driver is loaded. [03:46] ramrebol: you can install gpm, it will let you copy and paste with the mouse [03:48] ducasse: ^^ neat .. was not aware of it :) [03:50] ducasse: awesome!!! [03:50] lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' [03:50] sorry for the last line [03:51] yes, the hybrid graphics was the worse think that I buy. Never works properly [03:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FTKn7xVWKP/ [03:54] Bashing-om: old-school trick :) [03:55] I though copy+paste were impossible, I only ask to reafirm this [03:58] Now will be easier to write my Fortran codes [04:03] ramrebol: As drivers are loaded, and there is no issue with the guest session. then as ducasse concludes, must be an issue with the config in your user account. === dingir___ is now known as dingir_ [04:09] I will reboot again.

[06:25] Hi, everyone. I just did software updates (using the builtin "update manager"), and after rebooting my machine it no longer recognizes that it can pipe sound out to the HDMI. The HDMI video is working fine, but when I go to System Setting > Sound, HDMI is not even listed as an option, just the "Speakers built-in audio" option. [06:26] So it only plays the audio out of the crappy laptop speakers instead of the external television speakers. [06:26] Any thoughts, anyone? [06:27] JoAnneThrax: sudo lshw -C sound still show your driver= loaded? [06:27] I don't see it. Should I dump the output to you in a msg? [06:28] JoAnneThrax: should be at bottom, driver=... [06:28] I don't want to flood the channel. [06:28] JoAnneThrax: if you dont see the driver= it means its not loaded [06:28] Yeah, I don't see a driver= line [06:29] Wait.. [06:29] driver=snd_hda_intel [06:29] JoAnneThrax: yes, thats the line [06:30] JoAnneThrax: so when you use your external tv, and back to your computer, did you change audio back from hdmi sound to local sound? [06:30] I didn't see it right away because it's in the middle of the line ("configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency="). Sorry about that. [06:30] No, I haven't changed anything except the update [06:31] JoAnneThrax: yes but seems like you have used the external tv for some purposes, or what that just to test right now? [06:31] *was [06:32] Generally, I keep it hooked up to the TV (with HDMI sound selected), except once a week when I take the computer to the radio station with me. Without the HDMI connected, it just defaults to the built-in speakers/headphones audio, and then when I come home and re-connect it to the TV, I need to go to the control panel and select the HDMI again. [06:33] JoAnneThrax: could you doublecheck your sound settings are back locally now, and not hdmi? === x[x] is now known as dmt === dmt is now known as Guest98066 [06:34] JoAnneThrax: wich ubuntu version are kernel are you on currently? [06:34] And it's been hooked up and working just fine. I installed updates last night (with the "update manager" in the Administration section of the applications menu), and just rebooted the computer this evening for the first time since the update, and now the HDMI sound has disappeared from the sound control panel. [06:36] lotuspsychje: 4.15.0-45-generic [06:36] JoAnneThrax: allright, looks good [06:36] When you say "doublecheck my sound settings", what do you mean? [06:36] JoAnneThrax: check same driver line on: sudo lshw -C video please? [06:38] driver=nouveau and driver=i915 [06:38] It's got two sections [06:39] JoAnneThrax: aha, looks like we might try to install the nvidia drivers for your optimus card [06:39] JoAnneThrax: what gives you: ubuntu-drivers list please? [06:39] Ah. Did the update uninstall them? [06:39] JoAnneThrax: did you install them before, can you recall? [06:40] nvidia-340, nvidia-304, oem-audio-hda-daily-lts-xenial-dkms, oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms, intel-microcode, nvidia-384 [06:41] JoAnneThrax: hmm, an older nvidia card? [06:42] I don't recall if I had to install them before. I had a friend throw the OS on initially, so it's possible he installed them, or that I did it a year ago and just don't remember. [06:42] I suppose it is. That command you had me type a minute ago gave this as the product: GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] [06:43] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation [06:43] The other result is Intel's 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [06:44] !nvidia | JoAnneThrax [06:44] JoAnneThrax: For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [06:44] JoAnneThrax: add the nvidia graphics ppa to your system and try a higher driver, 390 for example [06:45] Lotus: I did just run this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily [06:45] sudo apt update [06:45] sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2 [06:46] (which I tried because I was looking online to try to solve this before bothering you) [06:46] JoAnneThrax: ah, i would go for the nvidia driver first, before messing with other things [06:46] lotuspsychje: Is there a command to install the 390? [06:46] JoAnneThrax: it might be related to your sound issue [06:46] JoAnneThrax: can you pastebin output of 'apt policy oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms'? [06:47] JoAnneThrax: first you need to add the nvidia ppa, then sudo apt update to show the new added drivers [06:48] ducasse: https://pastebin.com/NmgzujCJ [06:50] lotuspsychje: Okay. Do I just do an apt-get install, or do I need to do some sort of add-apt-repository ppa: thing like above. [06:51] JoAnneThrax: yeah first step is adding the ppa, then sudo apt update, then sudo apt install your-driver [06:51] JoAnneThrax: follow lotus' instructions, then purge the ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily repo [06:54] doing the apt update now [06:54] It tells me two packages can be upgraded: [06:54] libxnvctrl0/xenial 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu16.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 361.42-0ubuntu1] [06:54] nvidia-settings/xenial 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu16.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 361.42-0ubuntu1] [06:55] That second one seems notable. [06:55] JoAnneThrax: seems like it wants to install nvidia 415 [06:55] JoAnneThrax: you can try the 415 driver and reboot [06:56] My next step was going to be: sudo apt install nvidia-387 [06:56] should that be nvidia-415 or...? [06:57] JoAnneThrax: i would try 415 first, as your updates aiming for 415 packages [06:57] JoAnneThrax: now you added the ppa, you can actually switch drivers easy so [06:57] So, sudo apt install nvidia-415 [06:57] JoAnneThrax: yes, try that and reboot === tulsi is now known as Guest18705 [06:58] lotuspsychje: Thanks. That's going to take another minute or so. [06:58] JoAnneThrax: cross your fingers :p [06:58] :) [06:59] remove the ppa first [06:59] Should I check if the HDMI is there in the sound setting when I reboot, or check back here first for another step? [06:59] oh right [06:59] Ah. That. [07:00] unless you *know* you need it [07:00] You'd be amazed how little I *know* about this... [07:00] JoAnneThrax: lets try the audio ppa purge first, before reboot then reboot and check your sound again === Vic2 is now known as testalvic === testalvic is now known as Alento [07:02] JoAnneThrax: sudo apt install ppa-purge [07:03] Thanks, ducasse. I'll do that as soon as the previous command finishes. (It's at 86% and kind of stalled for a moment) [07:04] It claims to be building the initial module... [07:05] brb. [07:10] JoAnneThrax: wb [07:10] Well, this isn't promising... [07:10] JoAnneThrax: what happened [07:10] Now the HDMI video has stopped working. [07:11] Let me see if I can reconfigure it. [07:11] JoAnneThrax: can you check: sudo lshw -C video again for the driver= part? [07:11] none listed [07:12] JoAnneThrax: means something went wrong with your nvidia driver [07:12] lotuspsychje: very wrong... [07:13] JoAnneThrax: try another version, maybe from the GUI software&updates/tab additional drivers [07:13] JoAnneThrax: see if you can switch to another version there [07:14] There's a "driver manager"... [07:15] JoAnneThrax: yes, pick one and switch [07:16] I picked nvidia-390. There's also 304, 340 and 384. It had defaulted to the open-source xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. [07:16] JoAnneThrax: yeah try 390 as a test [07:16] then reboot again [07:17] Thanks. I'll do that when it finishes and be right back. [07:17] great [07:17] It's maybe 40% through "applying changes" now. [07:17] lets see if your card likes the 390 :p [07:20] so hows support for bay trail (32 bit bios, 64 bit processor)? [07:21] the images don't support 32-bit efi by default, aiui [07:26] JoAnneThrax: wb [07:26] Okay...HDMI video seems to be working now. [07:26] !yay | JoAnneThrax [07:26] JoAnneThrax: Glad you made it! :-) [07:26] Thanks, lotuspsychje [07:26] JoAnneThrax: sudo lshw -C video [07:27] driver=latency ? [07:27] driver=nvidia [07:27] allright your good to go [07:27] latency=0 [07:27] JoAnneThrax: with an optimus card youc an choose 2 modes now [07:27] Okay... [07:28] JoAnneThrax: from nvidia-settings you can switch to performance mode or powersvaing mode [07:28] JoAnneThrax: aka: intel or nvidia switch [07:28] JoAnneThrax: thats your personal choice ok [07:28] JoAnneThrax: have you checked for hdmi audio? [07:28] Okay. So...do I launch nvidia-settings from a terminal? [07:29] I have...no audio yet. [07:29] JoAnneThrax: you should have the settings GUI icon [07:29] ok, then purge the ppa [07:30] ducasse: purged. [07:30] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [07:35] lotuspsychje: the nvidia mode settings are "Adaptive" and "Prefer Maximum Performance". It's on "Auto". [07:35] you should probably upgrade too, to get the latest nvidia-settings [07:36] lotuspsychje: Oh, I see. It's under PRIME Profitles. NVIDIA (Performance Mode) is selected. [07:37] ducasse: I'd be happy to. apt-get upgrade nvidia-settings ? [07:37] Or is it another package? [07:37] apt full-upgrade [07:38] Done. [07:39] HDMI is not available under the audio control panel yet. Still just the onboard speakers. [07:40] Let me know if I should reboot after any of this. [07:41] you might want to reboot after purging the ppa, make sure oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms is no longer installed first [07:44] oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms/xenial,xenial,now 0.201807310406~ubuntu16.04.1 all [installed] [07:45] So says "sudo apt list --installed | grep -i oem" [07:47] do I do an apt-get uninstall oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms ? [07:50] tes [07:50] Oh, right...the command is "remove", not "uninstall". [07:51] Removing oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms (0.201807310406~ubuntu16.04.1) ... [07:51] Done. [07:51] or use purge (still works now) to also remove its configurations [07:51] Rebooting. brb. [07:52] hallo [07:53] hi uken71, got any ubuntu support questions? [07:54] Okay. I'm back. [07:55] no thanks, I just test my internet connection, sorry. [07:56] (For some reason, after the recent updates, this chat is taking a long time to start, too...seems to hang a while until it connects to one of the other servers I'm connected to. Not too worried about that right now, though...just the sound.) [07:56] JoAnneThrax: still no hdmi audio? [07:56] I have 2 HDDs in my laptop, one is the main os and the other i am going to replace, do i need to do any configuration changes after i swap hdds or i am good to go just replacing it? [07:56] ducasse: Still no HDMI audio. [08:00] Alina-malina: if it has an entry in /etc/fstab you will need to edit that,otherwise just swap and go [08:00] ducasse, i am not sure, ok let me check that after i replace it === shawn is now known as Guest3318 [08:00] lotuspsychje: Next step? [08:01] Alina-malina: if you pastebin the file i can look for you [08:01] Alina-malina: also if you have a raid or other block device constructions which involve both disks you will need to prepare for removing the disk. [08:01] Can anyone help? Install is freezing on keyboard layout step, new to the game. Absolutely lost on what to do [08:01] its a dell laptop [08:02] with base ubuntu install on ssd [08:02] i dont have anything advanced there, i am just worried about the bath where it is doing backups [08:03] Alina-malina: the "bath where it is doing backups"? i don't understand this part. [08:03] "batch" maybe? [08:03] Hello [08:03] path* [08:03] sorry [08:03] oh :) [08:04] qwebirc78372: please tell us about ubuntu version and variant, hardware (cpu + ram + graphics card), how you are installing... [08:04] Alina-malina: how do you do backups then? [08:05] tomreyn, there is some app its doing the backups from time to time [08:05] ducasse: I feel like this should be easier. [08:06] JoAnneThrax: it should just be a matter of loading the right driver(s) === shann_ is now known as shann [08:06] Alina-malina: if this is how much you know about your backups then whether or not they work is probably a nmatter of luck. if you want reliable backups, you need to actually test occasionally whether they work, by trying to restore data from them. === phoenix_firebrd is now known as murthy [08:07] Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, install via boot able USB (used Rufus), on an Acer Aspire 7 Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz, 8GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB dedicated VRAM. [08:08] Alina-malina: may guess would then be that you're using dejadup [08:08] ducasse: True enough. Is it a matter of trying some of the other nvidia options under the driver manager? (304, 340, 384, instead of 390)? [08:08] Or is the problem that I need to acquire other drivers from somewhere else? [08:09] qwebirc78372: okay, and you're installing the default (gnome) desktop variant, right? [08:09] JoAnneThrax: hang on a minute [08:09] ducasse: Okay. Thanks. [08:09] yes [08:11] qwebirc78372: do you still have the iso file you wrote to the usb? [08:11] qwebirc78372: if so, can you say which size it is in bytes? [08:12] JoAnneThrax: afaik the nvidia driver is involved in activating hdmi audio, but i'm not sure how they correlate to the audio drivers - i expect both are involved [08:14] qwebirc78372: by the way, if you want the chat to be more usable, you could install hexchat.org or a similar irc client. but the webchat also works. if you like, pick a different nickname (ideally one which is unlikely to be taken, yet), by typing this on a new line (no leading space): /nick MyCoolNewNickname [08:14] (replace MyCoolNewNickname by what you want it to be) [08:15] configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0 [08:15] This seems wrong. [08:16] that's the main audi chip on your mainboard, probably not wrong [08:16] *audio [08:16] iso file is 1.9GB [08:16] qwebirc78372: in single bytes please [08:16] Well, okay...that seems right, but there's no second entry with an nvidia driver. [08:16] qwebirc78372: we're trying to make sure the download worked out for you here [08:17] 1907568KB [08:17] Thanks! [08:17] JoAnneThrax: right, that's the problem [08:17] qwebirc78372: that's better, but still not single bytes ;) [08:17] qwebirc78372: but we can assume it's probably correct based on this. [08:18] JoAnneThrax: check if anything here helps - https://itsfoss.com/how-to-fix-no-sound-through-hdmi-in-external-monitor-in-ubuntu/ [08:18] tomreyn: I have "nvidia-390" selected in the Driver Manager. [08:18] qwebirc78372: can you install the usb writer software from etcher.io and use this to write the usb stick from the iso again? [08:18] Haha yeah I realised as I wrote it in KB, useless today. Yes will give that a try [08:20] JoAnneThrax: i'm really bad with nvidia, i'm afraid. all i could recommend is to try a !hwe kernel or the unsupported pre-release !ppa [08:20] tomreyn: he's on the graphics-driver ppa [08:20] oh, so scratch option #2 [08:21] tomreyn: test mainline? [08:21] !hwe | what about this, ducasse, JoAnneThrax [08:21] what about this, ducasse, JoAnneThrax: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [08:21] ducasse: I've tried those. There was no HDMI option for output for the onboard card, the pulseaudio -k didn't make it appear, and pavucontrol similarly does not display an HDMI option for output. [08:22] JoAnneThrax: are you on 18.04? [08:22] This is particularly annoying because, until I upgraded the kernel. etc. yesterday, it was working fine... [08:22] qwebirc78372: the reason i recommend etcher is because it verifies the data was written correctly, and it works on most operating systems. [08:22] ducasse: Just a minute...I'll check. [08:23] JoAnneThrax: can you try with your previous kernel? [08:23] JoAnneThrax: it should still be installed [08:23] JoAnneThrax: can you also tell us how you upgraded the kernel, or from which to which? [08:23] 4.15.0-45-generic [08:24] thats the old orr new one? and which is the other? [08:24] tomreyn: it says the verification failed.... [08:24] 45 is the latest [08:24] ducasse: I'm not sure how to try with my previous still-installed kernel. [08:24] qwebirc78372: hmm, this suggests the usb stick may be broken. do you have another one? [08:25] It is brand new, [08:25] qwebirc78372: this, unfortunately, doesn't fully rule it out. [08:25] JoAnneThrax: hold shift during boot to enter the grub menu, then choose it under 'advanced' [08:25] tomreyn: I updated the kernel using the "Update Manager" utility (which informed me that there were all these updates with priorities ranging from 1 to 4 that I hadn't upgraded in a while... [08:25] Trying another now [08:25] qwebirc78372: we can test your usb stick later. === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [08:26] ducasse: Okay...I'll reboot and try that... [08:26] JoAnneThrax: alright, so it was a standard system update, you didn't manually install a new kernel or the like. [08:28] This USB failed too [08:31] !md5 | qwebirc78372: hmm then maybe the iso file is actually broken. can you try to compare its checksum against the one on the servers? here's how [08:31] qwebirc78372: hmm then maybe the iso file is actually broken. can you try to compare its checksum against the one on the servers? here's how: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [08:32] I tried using 4.15.0-43...no luck. HDMI video's not even working... [08:33] qwebirc78372: this is another take on this: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#0 [08:36] JoAnneThrax: sorry i was on coffee break, any progress? [08:38] ducasse, ok now i got a permission denied for writing on this hdd [08:38] lotuspsychje: No, sorry. [08:38] Alina-malina: which one? [08:38] JoAnneThrax: let's find out which kernel you were running previously where hdmi audio was working. this lists when you last rebooted: journalctl --list-boots | tail [08:39] ducasse, the new one i guess i need to change the permissions for regular used [08:39]
