[00:03] <DVA5912> jeremy31, is it typical for the cards to usualy respond fairly slow? (using Bluetoothctl)
[00:12] <jeremy31> DVA5912: It does happen
[00:16] <DVA5912> jeremy31, so im getting these "hci0: urb 000000001a295ed5 failed to resubmit (113)". Bluetooth turned off and failed to turn back on. Its not blocked per rfkill List, and im unable to run hciconfig hci0 up as it times out. im starting to think this chip may be bad but it works with microsoft drivers
[00:31] <jeremy31> DVA5912: I have no idea what that error is caused by
[00:32] <DVA5912> jeremy31, copy. I apprechiate your help tonight. im going to continue fiddling around with this.
[00:41] <black_13> can an ubuntu source package be built debug
[00:46] <Gerowen> Has anybody used the snap of Dosbox-X and know where I can put the dosbox.conf file for it to run my mount commands and such at startup?
[00:49] <ryahi_skaprinav> https://pastebin.com/KKUxwYWy
[00:49] <ryahi_skaprinav> error in installing synaptic drivers
[00:51] <ryahi_skaprinav> can anyone help me
[00:51] <OerHeks> Gerowen, likely in ~/snap/Dosbox-X ?
[00:51] <ikonia> ryahi_skaprinav: looks like you're getting those packages from a repo that is not supported on your os
[00:52] <ryahi_skaprinav> Using ubuntu-mate 16.04
[00:52] <ikonia> yeah, but those packages are unlikley to be going from the stable 16.04 repo
[00:52] <ikonia> it's more likley they are coming from a different repo, a PPA for example
[00:53] <ryahi_skaprinav> okay but my touchpad gestures are not working
[00:53] <ryahi_skaprinav> what should i do
[00:53] <ikonia> if you've not got the packages installed, it's unlikley it will work
[00:54] <OerHeks> Gerowen, did you check for  ~/.dosbox/?
[00:56] <ryahi_skaprinav> how can i resolve the dependencies then?
[00:56] <kylanbb> hello! I'm trying to help a friend install ubuntu 16.04 lts, and there were a couple issues but i found solutions to get farther in the process until the installation seemed to work and called for a restart, which resulted in a 'no boot device found' page. It's almost the exact issue reported here: https://itsfoss.com/no-bootable-device-found-ubuntu/ and i was going through this, but it says in 7 there are three files: shimx64.efi
[00:56] <kylanbb> grubx64.efi and mokmanager.efi, but on my friends drive he has: fwupx63.efi, grubx64.efi, shimx64.efi and mmx64.efi. Currently if he tries to start in safe mode he gets errors saying: "Failed to open\EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi- Not found
[00:56] <kylanbb> Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi- Not found
[00:56] <kylanbb> Failed to start MokManager: not found" and if he tries to start without safe mode he does get to grub, but it doesn't show an option to boot into ubuntu except for the live disc options (install, try without installing, etc) Any ideas what to do?
[00:57] <ikonia> ryahi_skaprinav: what repo are those packages coming from
[00:57] <ryahi_skaprinav> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2322413&page=2
[00:57] <ryahi_skaprinav> I'm guessing universe
[00:58] <ikonia> ryahi_skaprinav: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[00:59] <ryahi_skaprinav> ok done sry for the bother
[00:59] <ryahi_skaprinav> thanks ikonia
[01:00] <ikonia> ?
[01:00] <OerHeks> ryahi_skaprinav, did you properly update?  Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.17.99.902)
[01:00] <platz> is there any way to save a file to a mounted ntfs filesystem without running the whole process as root?
[01:01] <platz> i read chaning the owner on external ntfs filesystems is a bad idea
[01:01] <ryahi_skaprinav> i didn't go into the hardware settings using gui. It was disabled by default in there.
[01:01] <OerHeks> ntfs should not need root, as it is not posix
[01:01] <platz> ah, sorry i meant ext4, not ntfs
[01:02] <ikonia> platz: you can change ownership on ext4 with ease and no risk
[01:02] <ikonia> platz: what file are you trying to save, is it a system file ?
[01:02] <platz> and if i mount that disk on a different machine without that user?
[01:02] <ikonia> platz: it will just have a uid owning it
[01:04] <platz> ok, so the 2nd machine would just use root to write it's own uid's on it too
[01:04] <platz> i guess that's ok as long as both machines can read/write by chaning owners
[01:05] <platz> i probably should've made the drive fat32 or something without owners
[01:07] <calher> I hate ext4 on ext. media, but I also hate 4 GB file limits.
[01:08] <ikonia> why do you hate ext4 on media ?
[01:08] <ikonia> it's a perfectly fine file system
[01:13] <kylanbb> I didn't realize i had to rejoin after getting kicked, if someone responded to my question, I missed it. I'm sorry!
[01:14] <EriC^> calher: theres always exfat
[01:15] <calher> I use Universal Disk Format.
[01:16] <calher> Because forget DOS.
[01:22] <epsilonKNOT> hey all
[01:22] <tonyt> hi
[01:22] <epsilonKNOT> I seem to hve a small probelm with connecting to wifi on my ubuntu device
[01:22] <epsilonKNOT> so I can connect using my phone
[01:22] <epsilonKNOT> but my laptop is having weird issues
[01:24] <epsilonKNOT> when I do a connection and monitor it using jounalctl -f
[01:24] <epsilonKNOT> I get some wird issues
[01:24] <OerHeks> !paste
[01:25] <ikonia> you can't expect people to respond to symptoms described as "weird issues"
[01:25] <epsilonKNOT> I can't paste from that computer lol
[01:25] <epsilonKNOT> it isnt cnnected to the interwebs
[01:25] <epsilonKNOT> but lemme give some idea
[01:26] <epsilonKNOT> so here it goes: It reached stage 2 of 5 (Device configure) successful
[01:26] <ikonia> you'll get a lot better help if you actually describe the problem as clearly as possible without joke words like "interweb"
[01:26] <epsilonKNOT> how about this
[01:26] <epsilonKNOT> i'll take a pic on my phone and put it on imgur
[01:26] <epsilonKNOT> :D
[01:26] <ikonia> just describe the problem clearly
[01:26] <ikonia> you don't need photos at that stage
[01:27] <epsilonKNOT> good point
[01:28] <epsilonKNOT> so he issue is that it connects to the router briefly and then disconnects
[01:28] <ikonia> does it get to the stage where it has a valid IP
[01:28] <epsilonKNOT> nope
[01:28] <epsilonKNOT> the ip adrress registration times out
[01:29] <ikonia> so you're not really making sense
[01:29] <ikonia> it can't be a breif connection to the router, if it's there long enough for a dhcp request to time out
[01:30] <epsilonKNOT> i know
[01:30] <epsilonKNOT> thats why weird
[01:30] <epsilonKNOT> when I montior the connections on my router
[01:30] <epsilonKNOT> it shows up for like 5-6 secs
[01:30] <epsilonKNOT> then dissappears
[01:31] <ikonia> it's not weird
[01:31] <ikonia> it's you not being clear
[01:31] <ikonia> it's either there for a reasonable period of time long enough for a dhcp connection to time out
[01:31] <ikonia> or it's not
[01:32] <epsilonKNOT> the pic is here btw: http://imgur.com/gallery/ikJDHrw
[01:32] <epsilonKNOT> maybe this can shed some more light on the error?
[01:32] <ikonia> just want a clear description
[01:32] <ikonia> as I said, don't want pictures at this stage
[01:33] <epsilonKNOT> hmm ok
[01:33] <epsilonKNOT> so what I am doing is basically, just connect to wifi from the nm-applet for kubuntu
[01:33] <ikonia> I'm going to leave you to it and do other things
[01:33] <epsilonKNOT> it says configuring interface
[01:34] <epsilonKNOT> then says setting network address
[01:34] <epsilonKNOT> and then just stops
[01:34] <hggdh> epsilonKNOT: the DHCP server is not responding
[01:35] <epsilonKNOT> i don't know why that might be the case because I am using another device which is on this same router :/
[01:35] <epsilonKNOT> but that was my first thought to
[01:35] <epsilonKNOT> :(
[01:37] <hggdh> epsilonKNOT: I do not either. All I can say is you are getting no response from the DHCP server. Since your machine gets no response, it times out. Might be worth the time to look at the router configuraiton
[01:43] <epsilonKNOT> i think the error might be that there is an ipv6 interface for mDNS
[01:43] <epsilonKNOT> but there shouldn't be
[01:53] <Sven_vB> I'd like to debug what my Ubuntu xenial will do when my notebook battery goes critically low, but I'd prefer to avoid unnecessary charge cycles on the real battery. I found the fake battery driver https://github.com/hoelzro/linux-fake-battery-module , is that the way to go? can I use that alongside a real battery or should I remove the real battery so it won't interfere? though then I'd need AC connected, wouldn't that interfere?
[02:11] <craigbass76> Any idea where a pixel2 mounts up when I connect it as a storage device? I can see it in a nautilus window, but not sure where the mtp point point is to get into it via a command line
[02:12] <hggdh> craigbass76: worst case, mount will tell you
[02:12] <OerHeks> normally that would be /media/ ?
[02:12] <craigbass76> mount is quiet on the subject. This happened last time I looked, but that was almost a year ago and I forgot.
[02:13] <craigbass76> I'll write a blog post this time...
[02:13] <OerHeks> i expect it to show up at the end of the list
[02:15] <OerHeks> if it is mtp, mtp-detect
[02:40] <cgipython> is there a way to update versions of all snap software that I installed in 18.04?
[02:43] <cgipython> snap refresh perhaps?
[02:43] <Gerowen> cgipython: sudo snap refresh
[02:43] <OerHeks> snap refresh --list # gives updates, and snap refresh would perform it
[02:43] <cgipython> col - tha tis it, thanks
[02:43] <OerHeks> but they have their own update mechanism, too
[02:45] <cgipython> anyone good with tmux hanging in here - I could use some help on tmux
[02:50] <cgipython> I see a lot of different publishers for snap : neimeyer, snapcrafters, ... - are these safe to rely on for installs? or is it better to use apt installs?
[02:51] <OerHeks> always investigate the origin, maintainers and license
[02:51] <OerHeks> on snapcraft.io
[02:51] <OerHeks> snapcrafters is oke, they are a group of volunteers, test, and maintain.
[02:51] <cgipython> isn't it more reliable to install from apt?
[02:52] <OerHeks> apt, depends on the source, ofcourse
[02:52] <cgipython> tingping? I installed hexchat from that publisher- was that a bad idea?
[02:53] <OerHeks> no.
[02:53] <OerHeks> he publishes and builds from the original github
[02:53] <OerHeks> 'developer website' is the hidden link
[02:53] <OerHeks> https://snapcraft.io/hexchat
[02:54] <cgipython> thanks
[02:54] <explodes> The new BEEP when TAB completion fails in the terminal is SO DAMN LOUD
[02:55] <explodes> Where do I change the \a sound?
[02:55] <explodes> Preferably system-wide and not just the native terminal.
[02:59] <explodes> Settings > Sound has options but when you select a different sfx, BOTH sounds play?
[02:59] <explodes> I turned the volume down and its better-
[03:15] <nicomachus> explodes: in a terminal, go to Edit -> Preferences and on the Text tab there is a checkbox for the terminal bell
[03:45] <black_13> i upgrade to ubuntu 18.04 but the scren is now lockes is there a way i can log so i can recover my home direcgtory and just rebuild my computer
[03:49] <Bashing-om> black_13: Might be able to fix this upgrade. Can you boot to the login screen ?
[03:50] <black_13> after i log in the screen is locked
[03:52] <Bashing-om> black_13: Boot to a console interface; At that login screen what results with key combo ctl+alt+f2 ? Can you log into the system here with username and password ?
[03:53] <black_13> sorry to ask but how do i boot to console
[03:53] <Bashing-om> black_13: ctl+alt+f2 at the login screen .
[03:54] <black_13> thanks
[03:56] <black_13> that works fine
[03:59] <Bashing-om> black_13: So, we have a graphics issue :) /// OK in that console run ' sudo lshw -C display | nc termbin.com 9999 '. the result is a URL back in terminal, Pass that link back here. We see if a driver is loaded.
[03:59] <black_13> ok
[04:02] <black_13> i think the drive is fine
[04:03] <black_13> i think its something to do with desktop
[04:03] <black_13> gnome
[04:03] <Bashing-om> black_13: i see no indication why it would not be fine :)
[04:04] <black_13> is there way to just reinstall gnome
[04:04] <black_13> and hope it gets repaired
[04:05] <Bashing-om> black_13: Sure. but what makes you think that re-installing the desktop will fix the issue ?
[04:05] <yvyz> black_13: switch to a different TTY screen with ctrl-alt-f# and try to -> sudo rm ~./Xauthority
[04:06] <yvyz> Then switch back to your desktop and attempt to login.
[04:06] <yvyz> -> sudo rm ~/.Xauthority <- *fix*
[04:08] <black_13> same problem I get the login screen then it locks
[04:12] <jessarcade> howdy
[04:14] <jessarcade> I recently had some package trouble when upgrading to 18.04, and I'm getting an error message about having held broken packages when trying to install with apt
[04:16] <OerHeks> apt install -f and dpkg --configure -a might fix things
[04:18] <jessarcade> OerHeks: tried that, about to google what deinstall on dpkg --get-selections means
[04:35] <tomreyn> jessarcade: see what "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" lists for "No longer downloadable" packages.
[04:40] <jessarcade> tomreyn: says I have 95 packages
[04:42] <tomreyn> jessarcade: those "No longer downloadable" packages are not part of the ubuntu release you upgraded to.
[04:43] <jessarcade> tomreyn: makes sense, my do-release didn't seem to go through right but I ended up with 18 anyways and running dist-upgrade removed a lot of stuff.
[04:43] <tomreyn> i.e. you want to remove them, or configure 3rd party apt repositories which provide upgrades for those.
[04:44] <tomreyn> release upgrades can go wrong if you have 3rd party packages (or, even more so, 3rd party package versions) installed by the time you start a release upgrade.
[04:44] <jessarcade> tomreyn: is there a quick remove no longer downloadable or copy and paste the list into a bash script
[04:44] <tomreyn> so next time you prepare a release upgrade, i recommend removing those. the upgrader only removes their package sources.
[04:45] <tomreyn> jessarcade: not that i know of. i wroite this script to make it easier: https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages
[04:56] <David3k> so, does anyone know how I can override my monitor's EDID with the inf here: https://pastebin.com/yNsZvUaU
[04:57] <David3k> this is from CRU 1.4.1 on windows with the resolution and refresh rate I'm trying to use
[04:58] <David3k> https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU
[05:01] <yvyz> David3k: You want ubuntu to run a different resolution but your screen EDID does state that it can?
[05:01] <tomreyn> David3k: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID
[05:02] <yvyz> ^
[05:02] <David3k> yvyz, yeah, my current cheapo monitor is reporting incorrect EDID info
[05:03] <David3k> it's my backup monitor, my 1440p panel fell
[05:03] <yvyz> tomreyn's link will definitely do it for you.
[05:04] <David3k> yeah, there goes my 400 bucks
[05:04] <David3k> thanks tomreyn
[05:05] <asphyxia> hi guys, I'm looking for a reliable way to backup my linux machine. I've been using dejadup but have heard some claims that it can corrupt your backup drive after many backups
[05:06] <yvyz> asphyxia: consider duplicity
[05:06] <asphyxia> I've tried rsync, but have never had to restore from it. I want my restore process to be pretty simple in the event that I need to restore
[05:06] <yvyz> Just duplicity
[05:06] <yvyz> but if you like rsync, try rclone.
[05:06] <infotek> anyone else having DNS issues with the new 18.04 querying against a microsoft DNS server? "options edns0"
[05:06] <asphyxia> yvyz: doesn't dejadup work on duplicity?
[05:07] <yvyz> yvyz: yes dejadup is a front end for duplicity.
[05:07] <yvyz> <- opinion: try rclone
[05:07] <yvyz> Its l33t.
[05:07] <David3k> tomreyn, yvyz CRU can also output the fake EDID as a .BIN file, you think that's the same EDID binaries as the ones being used in the article?
[05:08] <asphyxia> yvyz: ty will look into it
[05:08] <tomreyn> David3k: no idea, i don't know this software
[05:09] <David3k> does anyone have their monitor's EDID binary dump? I'll try importing it to CRU and see if it can read it
[05:09] <tomreyn> David3k: it does seem likely, though, and those files contain checksums.
[05:09] <David3k> chances are if I can import it, the export is a compatible format
[05:10] <yvyz> David3k: just a question: Can this not be solved by adding the new mode with xrandr --newmode?
[05:11] <David3k> yvyz, I tried but it flickers a lot
[05:11] <yvyz> Try setting it with and without vsynx/hsync ?
[05:11] <David3k> still does it
[05:11] <David3k> I've been poking at it for a few hours now
[05:11] <yvyz> Hmm
[05:13] <tomreyn> https://tomreyn.megaglest.org/unreleased/edid.bin
[05:13] <tomreyn> David3k: ^
[05:13] <David3k> tomreyn, thanks, checking...
[05:14] <David3k> tomreyn, YEP, IT WERKS
[05:15] <David3k> k, so I'm gonna export my current fake EDID and force it on ubuntu, thanks a heap
[05:16] <David3k> just to be sure, this is a 4k monitor, yeah, tomreyn?
[05:16] <tomreyn> David3k: it is not
[05:18] <David3k> oh, I misread that, a 144p monitor?
[05:18] <David3k> 3440x1440?
[05:19] <tomreyn> 3440x1440 is the highest pysical resolution it supprots, correct
[05:19] <tomreyn> *physical
[05:19] <tomreyn> as in non-scaled
[05:20] <tomreyn> err non-zoomed
[05:22] <David3k> https://i.imgur.com/57imSw9.png
[05:22] <David3k> that's what it picks up (aside from model name, which is this crap monitor)
[05:23] <David3k> CRU is actually quite a nifty tool, really should have a linux alternative for easier monitor-messing about.
[05:24] <David3k> thanks again, gonna reboot and fix this
[05:24] <tomreyn> luckily, most monitors don't report complete nonsense on their edid
[05:24] <tomreyn> so this is rarely needed
[05:25] <David3k> tomreyn, though some monitors can be overclocked
[05:25] <tomreyn> here's a way to brick / destroy your monitor https://github.com/bulletmark/edid-rw
[05:25] <David3k> LOL
[05:26] <AngelKde> David3k, you have windows LOL XD
[05:28] <David3k> AngelKde, yeah, I'm using it to try getting my backup monitor to work correctly by overriding the EDID
[05:29] <David3k> exported the modded EDID via CRU and going to load it on my main kubuntu partition
[05:30] <AngelKde> David3k,  o yes
[05:31] <AngelKde> David3k,  what version of kubuntu ?
[05:31] <David3k> 18.10, was using LTS but I switched channels for more goodies
[05:32] <AngelKde> David3k, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/cosmic/man1/get-edid.1.html
[05:32] <David3k> I already fixed it though, but thanks.
[05:33] <David3k> tomreyn, it works like a charm
[05:33] <David3k> no more flickering or bugging out
[05:34] <tomreyn> nice
[05:35] <AngelKde> veru good tomreyn
[05:35] <AngelKde> sorry very good
[05:36] <David3k> at least we know that if people want to bring their overclocked EDIT overrides from windows to linux, the CRU exports are compatible
[05:36] <David3k> *edid
[06:27] <p0a> Hello, when I run a command in the terminal that is predated by a space, the command is not recorded in history. For example, ' ls' will not show up in 'history'
[06:27] <p0a> Is that normal?
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> p0a: why do you run a command wit a space?
[06:29] <p0a> because

[07:20] <BlindWiz> Hello everyone.  I have discovered a wierd issue.  I was tracking down an issue with my postfix, and when using journalctl -f -u postfix all I see is when the serv er starts.  I've seen other ubuntu 18.04 users report this on the net, I haven't been able to find an answer.  does anyone here what could be wrong?  postfix is logging to /var/log/mail.log.  but I'd rather use journalctl
[07:53] <black_13> what is the best remoting software to remote from osx to ubuntu
[07:55] <BlindWiz> Hello everyone.  I have discovered a wierd issue.  I was tracking down an issue with my postfix, and when using journalctl -f -u postfix all I could see in journalctl  is when the server starts.  I've seen other ubuntu 18.04 users report this on the net, I haven't been able to find an answer.  does anyone here know what could be wrong?  postfix is logging to /var/log/mail.log.  but I'd rather
[07:55] <BlindWiz> use journalctl
[07:55] <tomreyn> BlindWiz: are there also no logs on the journal if you don't filter for postfix (-u)?
[07:55] <tomreyn> black_13: ssh is available on both platforms
[07:56] <black_13> correct and remote desktop
[07:58] <tomreyn> as in "remote desktop protocol"? that's a protocol from the windows world. if i wanted graphical, i'd personally prefer vnc, which is native to both os x and ubuntu.
[08:05] <yvyz> ^
[08:05] <yvyz> seconded
[08:10] <black_13> great but some recomendations would be nice
[08:11] <yvyz> That was one.
[08:16] <black_13> which vnc
[08:17] <ducasse> black_13: for mac os? ask in a mac channel.
[08:17] <black_13> mac the client
[08:18] <ducasse> black_13: for a server on ubuntu, x11vnc works for me
[08:18] <ducasse> black_13: we don't support mac os
[08:19] <black_13> fuck you dont support ubuntu
[08:19] <ducasse> i just gave you a suggestion for what to run on ubuntu, and please watch your language
[08:27] <coolchris> so if i want to be a professional and use linux for a job do i still need to learn vi?
[08:27] <cim209> coolchris: no
[08:27] <ducasse> coolchris: it comes in handy, but this isn't really an ubuntu question
[08:28] <coolchris> ok good i didn't like that chapter when i first tried linux years ago
[08:28] <coolchris> ok sorry
[08:28] <cim209> coolchris: unless your employer requires it
[08:29] <ducasse> cim209: every now and then you might stumble across a minimal system where nothing else is available, so the basics are good to know
[08:29] <cim209> ducasse: true
[08:32] <ducasse> that was actually meant for coolchris, sorry
[08:33] <cim209> it's fine
[08:38] <Noxturnix> is Ubuntu + MATE DE == Ubuntu MATE?
[08:38] <ducasse> yep
[08:39] <cim209> it's MUBUNTU
[08:39] <ducasse> m'buntu
[08:40] <Noxturnix> okay
[08:42] <yvyz> Hands off muh' buntu!
[08:45] <Gerowen> All the "Ubuntu InsertDENameHere" are just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment pre-installed from the get go.  I installed "xubuntu-desktop" once just to try out XFCE, and when I rebooted it had rebranded my entire machine to Xubuntu complete with the little animated bootup screen and everything.
[08:47] <smallville7123> Can anyone connect to http://au.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:47] <cim209> Gerowen: i'm on arch but i run ubuntu servers
[08:48] <ducasse> smallville7123: seems not, ask in #ubuntu-mirrors if there are known issues
[08:53] <Noxturnix> Gerowen: Thanks, very informative
[09:08] <blb4393> what does ubuntu-drivers-common does exactly? I only see metapackages depending on it, so I suppose it can be purged, right?
[09:09] <lotuspsychje> !info ubuntu-drivers-common
[09:10] <lotuspsychje> blb4393: optional
[09:10] <lotuspsychje> blb4393: did you install it yourself in the first place?
[09:10] <ducasse> blb4393: it contains the cli tool etc, see 'apt show ubuntu-drivers-common'
[09:12] <blb4393> purged. 2 packages less
[09:16] <blb4393> lotuspsychje: optional so what? xorg is also optional, go ahead purge it
[09:35] <blb4393> as the second thought xorg can be purged too with its dependent packages: libglu1-mesa x11-apps x11-session-utils xinit
[09:36] <flj> for illustration. If sudo apt-get update results in xr and bf can I then write command sudo apt-get update xr if I only want to update package xr?
[09:40] <blb4393> xinit could be kept though
[09:42] <ducasse> flj: yes, or apt install packagename
[09:42] <lotuspsychje> blb4393: whats your endgoal exactly save space on your system?
[09:44] <flj> thanks. I probably did not formulate the question correctly. If a sudo apt-get update results in a bunch of updates but I only want to download and install some of them, then what do I write?
[09:45] <ducasse> flj: what i said, replace 'packagename' with the packages you want to update
[09:47] <flj> I write command sudo apt-get install followed by the package names?
[09:47] <ducasse> yes
[09:47] <flj> Thank you.
[09:54] <tomreyn> smallville7123: regarding your question about archive.getdeb.net - this was never an ubuntu mirror, and this project (not an official ubuntu project) unfortunately came to an end.
[10:48] <blb4393> !info linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic
[10:49] <blb4393> optional
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> blb4393: you still didnt explain what your end goal is
[10:50] <blb4393> yes
[11:22] <leodee> I am having an odd problem. I want to use KVM, my virtualization is enabled, but cpuinfo does not show the vm flag (worked before, then after a reboot no longer works)
[11:28] <dff> I have a weird issue after installing nvidia drivers, the splash screen is low res. Ive tried every possible config for GRUB so im thinking, it might be initramfs related
[11:28] <tomreyn> leodee: there's no 'vm' flag. does "kvm-ok" report that acceleration can be used?
[11:28] <dff> is there a module i can load with graphics drivers
[11:29] <leodee> tomreyn: it did before the reboot. Now it says it's not supported. I've seen similar issues mentioned online, but no real answers found :\
[11:29] <lotuspsychje> dff: could you share your ubuntu version, graphics card chipset + driver version please?
[11:29] <dff> glady, one sec ill move or to that machine
[11:31] <tomreyn> leodee: which cpu do you have there (cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^model name' | head -n1), which ubuntu release (lsb_release -ds), which kernel (cat /proc/version /proc/cmdline)?
[11:31] <tomreyn> ° paste | leodee
[11:32] <tomreyn> ! paste | leodee
[11:32] <leodee> thanks tomreyn , one moment
[11:34] <dff> 4.18.0-15-generic #16~18.04.1-Ubuntu, VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080], Kernel driver in use: nvidia,  Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
[11:34] <dff> lotuspsychje
[11:34] <lotuspsychje> dff: ubuntu 18.10?
[11:35] <dff> lotuspsychje: im far from the only one with this problem, but none of the 10-20 solutions i find online fix it for me
[11:35] <leodee> tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Zwsxywc8Rq/
[11:35] <dff> and they all include grub config settings
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> dff: for gtx cards we often reccomend the drivers from ubuntu graphics ppa
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | dff here
[11:36] <tomreyn> leodee: you missed /proc/cmdline
[11:36] <dff> lotuspsychje: thank you ill check it out
[11:36] <leodee> tomreyn: placeholder root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash
[11:36] <tomreyn> leodee: and finally (sorry):  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^flags' | head -n1
[11:37] <dff> lotuspsychje: that link recommends the drivers im using
[11:37] <leodee> tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2wbdnw3fYG/
[11:37] <leodee> tomreyn: in the flags, the 'vm' flag used to show up
[11:38] <dff> nm there is more useful info there
[11:38] <tomreyn> leodee: ok, what does kvm-ok report exactly?
[11:38] <leodee> INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
[11:38] <leodee> KVM acceleration can NOT be used
[11:39] <tomreyn> leodee: also, you mentioned you had seen other reports on this, can you poitn to one or two of them?
[11:39] <leodee> tomreyn: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085051/vt-x-is-enabled-but-ubuntu-18-04-doesnt-show-it
[11:42] <tomreyn> leodee: were you running the same kernel version before you rebooted? journalctl --list-boots | tail -n3
[11:43] <tomreyn> leodee: actully this command shows just whren you rebooted, not the kernel versions you ran, sorry.
[11:43] <leodee> tomreyn: but good point, I did do an 'apt upgrade'
[11:44] <tomreyn> for BOOT in -2 -1 0; do journalctl -b $BOOT | grep 'Linux version'; done
[11:45] <tomreyn> leodee: this shows your past three boots
[11:46] <leodee> tomreyn: The reboot issues happened last night. Today I rebooted a few times, so it's only showing today's reboots
[11:47] <tomreyn> leodee: journalctl --since yesterday | grep 'Linux version'
[11:49] <tomreyn> leodee: so does this help you tell whether you ran a different kernel version by the time virtualization worked?
[11:50] <tomreyn> "vmx" would be the flag listed in /proc/cpuinfo btw.
[11:53] <tomreyn> dff: try the   nouveau.modeset=0  kernel parameter
[11:53] <leodee> tomreyn: ok Kernel dif 4.15.0-34-generic vs 4.15.0-45-generic
[11:54] <leodee> vmx used to show up. I'm certain I ran kvm. /dev/kvm existed until that reboot
[11:55] <tomreyn> dff: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters
[11:55] <leodee> thanks, tomreyn, I'll try this out.
[11:55] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:56] <tomreyn> leodee: okay, you can either install the HWE kernel (4.18) or enable 'proposed' and get the newer 4.15 kernel image
[11:56] <tomreyn> leodee: you'll try out what?
[11:57] <leodee> oh, I got confused. You were referring to the nvidia problem :)
[11:57] <tomreyn> leodee: right, when talking to you i use *your* nickname ;)
[11:58] <ggnoredo> i'm using nvidia 410 drivers. should i update to 415? afraid cuz even on fresh installation of ubuntu, the nvidia drivers gave me so much trouble
[11:59] <ducasse> ggnoredo: do they work ok now?
[11:59] <ggnoredo> yes they do
[11:59] <ducasse> ggnoredo: ok, so why change them?
[11:59] <ggnoredo> i just realized there is newer drivers
[12:00] <BluesKaj> then leave it alone ggnoredo, newest isn't always best
[12:01] <ggnoredo> that's right yeah, just wanna make sure i'm not missing anything/ i use my gpu only for development, and having an issue on unity3d with Vulkan.
[12:03] <tomreyn> !hwe | leodee
[12:04] <tomreyn> !proposed | leodee
[12:10] <leodee> thanks
[12:10] <dff> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quite splash nouveau.modeset=0"
[12:10] <dff> tomreyn: like that?
[12:10] <leodee> ok, install...rebooting. BRB
[12:10] <tomreyn> dff: yes, although i'd try the temporary approach first of all.
[12:15] <CoolerZ> hey
[12:16] <CoolerZ> is gnu gnash a good flash player?
[12:16] <CoolerZ> for playing swf files
[12:19] <BluesKaj> CoolerZ, ffmpeg installed, if so use ffplay
[12:35] <dff> tomreyn: tried the temporarly approach, no luck
[12:35] <dff> still low res
[12:38] <lotuspsychje> dff: wich driver is that you using?
[12:38] <dff> Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
[12:39] <lotuspsychje> dff: use ubuntu-drivers list please
[12:39] <dff> nvidia-driver-390
[12:39] <dff> and bcmwl-kernel-source
[12:39] <lotuspsychje> dff: for that gtx card i would try a later version from the ubuntu graphics ppa i advices earlier
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> dff: 396,410 or 415
[12:41] <gebbione> I am experiencing some weird UX errors (the ux gets stuck processing or even lines appear and block the pc) ... what troubleshooting can i do ? the system has been running for 8 years now
[12:43] <dff> lotuspsychje: in software and updates
[12:44] <dff> i check 415 and hit apply
[12:44] <dff> yet it reverts to 390
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> dff: did you add the ppa and sudo apt update?
[12:44] <dff> yes
[12:44] <dff> i see them all listed
[12:45] <dff> 390,396,410 and 415
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> dff: maybe try to purge from terminal first
[12:45] <dff> In software & updates / additional drivers
[12:46] <lotuspsychje> dff: that will make it fallback to nouveau, you might experience a black screen after that and enter with !nomodeset, then install 415 for example
[12:47] <dff> do i purge all nvidia drivers or just 390
[12:48] <lotuspsychje> dff: just 390, lets see what it does
[12:48] <dff> i need to reboot right
[12:48] <dff> it's still using 390 even tho i purged it
[12:48] <lotuspsychje> yeah after purge and install always reboot
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | dff
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> if you get a black screen^
[12:49] <dff> no black screen
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> ok good
[12:50] <dff> nvidia-driver-390 still listed
[12:51] <dff> and the additional drivers gui says it's using a manually installed driver
[12:51] <dff> and i cant change
[12:51] <dff> from that ui
[12:52] <dff> everything is greyed out
[12:52] <lotuspsychje> thats weird
[12:52] <Xtreme> Hello Everyone, I am running Ubuntu Bionic on HP Spectre
[12:52] <Xtreme> it has intel SST and I am not able the mic working.
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> dff: what happens when you sudo apt install nvidia-driver-415 ?
[12:53] <Xtreme> Can anyone help me?
[12:55] <leodee> tomreyn: finished the kernel upgrade... same problem. Perhaps it was a bug in 14.13 and my machine SHOULD NOT have virtualization *shrug*... even tho in the BIOS it says so.
[12:56] <yvyz> Xtreme: what type of mic?
[12:57] <yvyz> Laptop mic?
[12:57] <yvyz> Or a USB headset?
[12:57] <ducasse> leodee: your cpu supports it, i checked
[12:58] <Xtreme> Yes.
[12:58] <Xtreme> Intel SST
[12:59] <yvyz> Xtreme: run: sudo lshw -C sound | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:59] <yvyz> and provide the link

[13:00] <Bastes> Hey everyone :) attempting to recover my system after a crash, I'm hitting a roadblock trying to decrypt my encrypted home folder. I'm using an install usb key to attempt the data recovery before re-installing the whole system, I know my password and I mounted the partition but ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /home/myuser/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passwphrase fails
[13:01] <tomreyn> leodee: not sure then. maybe try resetting bios to defaults and enable again.
[13:01] <tomreyn> but yes, your cpu support vmx
[13:01] <Xtreme> yvyz: https://termbin.com/t885
[13:01] <lotuspsychje> dff: system up to date?
[13:02] <lotuspsychje> !uptodate | dff
[13:03] <yvyz> Xtreme: have you tried using pavucontrol?
[13:03] <yvyz> Xtreme: sudo apt install pavucontrol
[13:03] <Xtreme> yes
[13:03] <yvyz> No dice?
[13:03] <Xtreme> My laptop has intel SST (Surround sound technology)
[13:03] <Xtreme> nope
[13:04] <Xtreme> https://termbin.com/7uga
[13:04] <yvyz> Yes I understand, one sec, lemme see if we can find your model and ive got a repo to help fix this.
[13:05] <leodee> tomreyn: ok, will try resetting the BIOS to default settings.
[13:06] <Bastes> So... anyone who knows how to recover an ecryptfs passphrase using my user's password or something? ^^°
[13:06] <lotuspsychje> !patience | Bastes
[13:06] <yvyz> Xtreme: sudo lsmod | grep "sst" | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:06] <Xtreme> https://termbin.com/ispw
[13:07] <ducasse> !ecryptfs
[13:08] <yvyz> Xtreme: sudo dmesg | grep "sst" | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:08] <ducasse> Bastes: there is a page on the wiki about it, but i think you can just mount it with ecryptfs-mount-private
[13:09] <Bastes> Thanks ducasse ; that's what I'm attempting to do. I'm not quite sure whether I've used EcryptFS or dmcrypt-luks ; how can I go about figuring this out?
[13:10] <ducasse> Bastes: for home folder, not entire disk it's ecryptfs
[13:10] <Bastes> ducasse: So that's my situation.
[13:10] <dff> lotuspsychje: using driver 415, still now res on splash screen (it's my volume is lvm encrypted if that has any bearing in this)
[13:10] <dff> now=low
[13:10] <dff> thank you so much for helping out btw
[13:11] <ducasse> Bastes: try ecryptfs-mount-private and give it your password
[13:11] <Bastes> ducasse: I get this "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly"
[13:11] <lotuspsychje> dff: did you add nomodeset perhaps?
[13:12] <Bastes> ducasse: I should probably mention I'm on a recovery usb key and not on my original system, which does not boot.
[13:13] <ducasse> Bastes: see https://askubuntu.com/questions/613691/cant-access-my-home-directory-encrypted-private-directory-is-not-setup-properl
[13:13] <Bastes> Thanks ducasse :) willdo
[13:13] <ryahi_skaprinav> problem with pyqt5
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> dff: could you pastebin: sudo lshw -C video && lsb_release -a && uname -a please?
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> !details | ryahi_skaprinav
[13:14] <ryahi_skaprinav> https://pastebin.com/hVs7JWHR
[13:14] <ryahi_skaprinav> Am trying to install it in virtualenv using python3.6
[13:15] <ryahi_skaprinav> Following this: https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg
[13:16] <ryahi_skaprinav> Building from source BTW
[13:17] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, it's telling you need the module "PyQt5"
[13:17] <rdh> https://build-system.fman.io/pyqt5-tutorial
[13:17] <yvyz> ryahi_skaprinav: sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
[13:17] <Xtreme> yvyz: null
[13:18] <yvyz> Xtreme: 18.04?
[13:18] <Xtreme> yeah
[13:19] <ryahi_skaprinav> I have it installed
[13:19] <ryahi_skaprinav> still it is not working
[13:19] <Bastes> ducasse: So... I did just what the first answer suggested: 1- navigating to /(mountpoint)/home/.ecryptfs/(username)  2- ecryptfs-recover-private .Private/  3- entering my login passphrase ; I get a mount failure "no file or directory".
[13:20] <ryahi_skaprinav> sudo -H pip3.6 install --upgrade PyQt5
[13:20] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, so you can load it in python3?
[13:20] <rdh> can you*
[13:20] <ryahi_skaprinav> no
[13:22] <ryahi_skaprinav> no same error module not found
[13:22] <yvyz> ryahi_skaprinav: sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools
[13:22] <yvyz> Might need the source for pyqt5
[13:23] <Xtreme> yvyz: need a reboot
[13:23] <Xtreme> brb
[13:23] <yvyz> Xtreme: Its interesting that lsmod is not showing codecs for your audio cart
[13:23] <yvyz> Xtreme: ok
[13:24] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, oh you would if you are building it from source.
[13:24] <ducasse> Bastes: ok, then i have no suggestions, i'm afraid
[13:24] <ryahi_skaprinav> what?
[13:24] <rdh> need source files.
[13:24] <Bastes> ducasse: arf :/ thanks for the lead though
[13:25] <Xtreme> yvyz: back
[13:25] <ducasse> Bastes: maybe this? https://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/
[13:26] <Xtreme> yvyz: https://termbin.com/onfa
[13:26] <Xtreme> lsmod after reboot
[13:26] <ryahi_skaprinav> where can i get source files for it
[13:27] <ryahi_skaprinav> Is this it rdh https://github.com/baoboa/pyqt5
[13:27] <rdh> yvyz> ryahi_skaprinav: sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools
[13:27] <yvyz> Xtreme: ls -al /usr/share/alsa/ucm/ | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:27] <Bastes> ducasse: Yes, that was my starting point. Problem is when I run the ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase, I get an error "stat: No such file or directory" "Usage: ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase [file]" and I don't know what the "[file]" is supposed to be.
[13:27] <ryahi_skaprinav> Already done rdh
[13:28] <boulabiar> Hi!
[13:28] <ducasse> Bastes: ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase i think
[13:28] <yvyz> Bastes: What are the permissions? i wonder if your livecd doesnt not have read/write access
[13:28] <Xtreme> https://termbin.com/z6si
[13:29] <boulabiar>  I have a very strange problem on ubuntu 18.04. the system is running update-mime-data indefinitely and with a new pid each time.
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> welcome boulabiar
[13:29] <boulabiar> and that's eating my CPU, the fan never stop now
[13:29] <Bastes> yvyz I'm sudo-ing all those commands, I didn't think permissions would matter. Do they?
[13:29] <epsilonKNOT> quit
[13:29] <Xtreme> But yvyz, please note that my speakers are working fine. Just the mic.
[13:31] <Bastes> ducasse: Oh, I got it! Thank you so much!
[13:31] <boulabiar> update-mime-data eating around 15% of CPU
[13:31] <yvyz> Xtreme: is it not detected or just listed and not picking anything up?
[13:31] <boulabiar> lotuspsychje: thanks
[13:31] <Bastes> ducasse: Thing was, I was attempting to do it from my home directory and not from the home/.ecryptfs/(username) directory.
[13:32] <Bastes> ducasse, yvyz, and y'all thanks a bunch :)
[13:32] <ducasse> Bastes: ah, right. does it work now?
[13:32] <Xtreme> yvyz: not detected.
[13:32] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: where did you get that package from?
[13:32] <Bastes> ducasse: Well, I've got the passphrase ; remains to see whether I can mount it with it, but that's a start ;)
[13:33] <boulabiar> lotuspsychje: I don't know, I think it came pre-insalled
[13:33] <boulabiar> installed*
[13:34] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: wich ubuntu release/flavor please?
[13:34] <boulabiar> ubuntu 18.04 LTS
[13:35] <ducasse> Bastes: good luck :)
[13:35] <Bastes> ducasse: Can't thank you enough man :)
[13:36] <yvyz> Xtreme: I am looking. I have found a long list of unresolved bug reports for similar issues.
[13:36] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: apt-cache policy update-mime-data please?
[13:36] <Bastes> ducasse: (or whichever gender of course ^^°)
[13:37] <ryahi_skaprinav> rdk it is working now
[13:37] <ryahi_skaprinav> *rdh
[13:38] <rdh> Ok.
[13:38] <ryahi_skaprinav> I don't know why but when I was using sudo -H pip3.6 install PyQt5, it was not working
[13:38] <boulabiar> N: Unable to locate package update-mime-database.real
[13:38] <ducasse> Bastes: you're welcome :)
[13:38] <boulabiar> N: Unable to locate package update-mime-database
[13:38] <boulabiar> N: Unable to locate package update-mime-dat
[13:38] <ryahi_skaprinav> Instead I just used pip3 install PyQt5
[13:38] <boulabiar> lotuspsychje: it may have been come from a snap
[13:39] <ducasse> boulabiar: it's in shared-mime-info
[13:39] <boulabiar> $ locate update-mime-database          gives me many results including      /snap/gnome-3-26-1604/70/usr/bin/update-mime-database
[13:39] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, maybe the installation wasnt using 3.6 then.
[13:40] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: snaps get get kind of heavy on a system by default now, what kind of system specs do you have?
[13:40] <ryahi_skaprinav> but i have installed virtualenv using pip3.6
[13:41] <ryahi_skaprinav> and inside python3 was also opening python3.6.8
[13:43] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, well thats interesting, but their site does say to install with pip3 specifically
[13:43] <boulabiar> lotuspsychje: i7, 16G RAM, 512SSD
[13:43] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: hmm ok that should be able to do the trick
[13:44] <boulabiar> I removed this snap opencv-demo-ogra
[13:44] <lotuspsychje> boulabiar: so you just boot to desktop, and you get a high load on it?
[13:44] <boulabiar> now, it looks like the system is back to normal
[13:44] <boulabiar> lotuspsychje: yes
[13:44] <ryahi_skaprinav> Yeah I guess so but still it's strange why that wouldn't work
[13:45] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, well you can dig deeper into pip if you want... or just enjoy your programing finally working and remember this experience lol
[13:46] <B1ack0p> hi
[13:46] <rdh> ryahi_skaprinav, could be a bug in pyqt5's installer...
[13:46] <B1ack0p> i am having this problem while i am trying to sudo apt update --> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Z3cjx9pw66/
[13:46] <B1ack0p> how can i fix?
[13:47] <Xtreme> yvyz: thankd
[13:47] <ryahi_skaprinav> thanks rdh
[13:47] <Xtreme> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029892/intel-sst-audio-device-wdm-not-working-on-xubuntu-18-04
[13:47] <Xtreme> What you think about this? yvyz ?
[13:48] <rdh> np
[13:48] <yvyz> That is if you have no driver codecs working for your card and you are getting nothing from audio or mic
[13:48] <lotuspsychje> B1ack0p: maybe the #ubuntu-mirror guys might know that
[13:48] <yvyz> And that solution only worked after he updated his kernel from 4.12 to .19
[13:48] <ryahi_skaprinav> This bug has become so common nowadays BlackOp. You just need to change your software sources to default.
[13:49] <ryahi_skaprinav> Then restart.
[13:49] <lotuspsychje> B1ack0p: #ubuntu-mirrors sorry
[13:50] <Xtreme> ahmm
[13:53] <Xtreme> yvyz: So what is the exact problem with my system?
[13:56] <B1ack0p> lotuspsychje: thx i asked there
[13:56] <B1ack0p> also other day i installed a program to find dupplicated files
[13:56] <lotuspsychje> B1ack0p: idle a bit or highlight some ops, its sunday :p
[13:56] <B1ack0p> i proceeded and deleted all duplicated files
[13:56] <B1ack0p> then i realised it could be a mistake
[13:56] <B1ack0p> since then i cant open some apps in my ubuntu
[13:57] <B1ack0p> lotuspsychje: nerds dont work on sundays? :p
[13:57] <B1ack0p> i hope i didnt disrespect by calling nerds lol i am kind of nerd too
[13:58] <yvyz> Xtreme: your audio card is apart of a long standing list of bug reports
[13:58] <rdh> B1ack0p, its a badge of honor honestly
[13:58] <B1ack0p> rdh: i thought so too lol
[13:58] <B1ack0p> being nerd is an honor! :D
[13:58] <Xtreme> yvyz: how can i install i915?
[13:59] <jeremy31> Xtreme: That is in the kernel
[13:59] <B1ack0p> is there a way to fix ubuntu mistakes?
[13:59] <ducasse> B1ack0p: that's probably a temporary error, try another mirror or wait and try later
[13:59] <B1ack0p> ducasse: thx
[13:59] <Xtreme> hmm. okay
[13:59] <Xtreme> So, is there any way to fix this issue?
[14:00] <Xtreme> it turns out, on windows it works perfectly
[14:00] <Xtreme> not a single problem.
[14:00] <B1ack0p> i mean is there a way to fix general possible errors? kind of system restore but without going back first installation
[14:02] <B1ack0p> no?
[14:02] <ducasse> not really, no
[14:03] <B1ack0p> why not?
[14:03] <ducasse> you have to figure out what each problem is and fix them
[14:03] <B1ack0p> no system restore?
[14:03] <ducasse> there just is no such feature, no
[14:04] <ducasse> other than a reinstall
[14:04] <ducasse> or restore from backup
[14:04] <B1ack0p> i dont wanna install everything from zero :/
[14:04] <B1ack0p> lets wait if updates fix them
[14:04] <ducasse> then restore from backup
[14:06] <Xtreme> yvyz: any luck?
[14:06] <B1ack0p> i dont think there is any backup i setup
[14:08] <yvyz> Xtreme: I am sorry, you've reached a spot I dont have direct knowledge of. Intel SST should work with ubuntu out of the box. Is it a fresh install?
[14:09] <yvyz> Xtreme: usually pavucontrol will get somethings sorted, but since you have the audio codecs working for sound, it should have included it for your microphone as well.
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: does your driver show in sudo lshw -C sound ?
[14:10] <Xtreme> yes its a fresh install.
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: that doesnt mean its loaded
[14:10] <yvyz> lotuspsychje: https://termbin.com/t885
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> allrighty
[14:10] <Xtreme> lotuspsychje: nope. only output, not input.
[14:10] <yvyz> And this is his lsmod: https://termbin.com/onfa
[14:11] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: what about your graphics driver?
[14:11] <Xtreme> Basically, its  new surround sound technology. As far as i know, its deeply integrated in Wifi or graphics.
[14:11] <Xtreme> lotuspsychje: works fine. no complaints there.
[14:11] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: some cases bad graphics driver can give bad sound too
[14:12] <yvyz> Xtreme: whats your uname -a string say?
[14:12] <yvyz> Xtreme: I wonder if you might need a newer kernel...
[14:12] <lotuspsychje> good idea for test yvyz
[14:12] <Xtreme> Linux xtreme 4.18.0-15-generic #16~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 7 14:06:04 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:13] <Xtreme> yvyz: I am having the newest kernel from repo.
[14:13] <Xtreme> I can try 5.0 but need to turn off secure boot for the same.
[14:14] <yvyz> Xtreme: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS
[14:14] <Xtreme> already did that
[14:14] <yvyz> Well, SST has been supported for some time now
[14:14] <Xtreme> i think i will boot into Windows. Get details of all the drivers and try linux back
[14:21] <B1ack0p> another problem. i installed an app "flameshot" in app store but when i click to run the app it gives error: "desktop file didnt specify exec field"
[14:21] <B1ack0p> how can i fix please?
[14:23] <adrian_1908> B1ack0p: does it run from the terminal?
[14:23] <B1ack0p> adrian_1908: nope it says sudo install flameshot
[14:24] <B1ack0p> but i already installed from app store
[14:24] <B1ack0p> i think it is snapd app
[14:25] <lotuspsychje> B1ack0p: for snap support, contact the maintainer of the snap please
[14:26] <B1ack0p> ok its working now after installing in terminal
[14:26] <adrian_1908> I'd remove the snap then, to avoid any conflicts, just in case.
[14:36] <Xtreme> back
[14:36] <Xtreme> so, I am running Intel 620 graphic card
[14:36] <Xtreme> but I dont see a driver installed for the same.
[14:37] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: sudo lshw -C video
[14:37] <Xtreme> driver installed in lshw is i915. Description " VGA compatible driver"
[14:38] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: try a kernel for !mainline as yvyz proposed
[14:38] <Xtreme> via ukuu?
[14:38] <lotuspsychje> !mainline | Xtreme
[14:39] <tomreyn> Xtreme: did you also install the hwe X or just the kernel?
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> tomreyn: he's on cosmic
[14:39] <Xtreme> tomreyn: just kernel
[14:39] <tomreyn> oh whoops, sorry
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> tomreyn: trying to get his SST audio to work
[14:40] <Xtreme> lotuspsychje: hmm.
[14:40] <Xtreme> let me try.
[14:40] <Xtreme> just FYI, i was on 4.15, it didnt work then.
[14:40] <Xtreme> then installed 4.18, still doesnt work.
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: readed a thread about 4.19 made it work, but not tested myself right
[14:41] <Xtreme> I am sorry, can you please rephrase that?
[14:42] <tomreyn> Xtreme: i got a copy of "wget_kernel_mainline.sh" (written by a regular here) at https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts - i like it a lot better than ukuu.
[14:42] <Xtreme> Intel Graphics Installer for Linux => where can i get this?
[14:43] <Xtreme> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/update-tool
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: thats not used anymore now, as the intel devs work along well with ubuntu
[14:44] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: drivers should get recognized automaticly
[14:44] <Xtreme> Well, its not getting. its running in compatibility mode.
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: getting what?
[14:45] <Xtreme> its not getting recognised.
[14:45] <Xtreme> its running on compatibility mode.
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: didnt you say driver was loaded on sudo lshw -C video ?
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: <Xtreme> driver installed in lshw is i915
[14:46] <Xtreme> Yes. but it was loaded as "compatibility". not as Intel UHD 620
[14:50] <BluesKaj> Xtreme, check your package manager for i965 driver in that case
[14:50] <Xtreme> explain please.
[14:51] <BluesKaj> Xtreme, the i915 doesn't provide UHD 620
[14:52] <Xtreme> Yes.
[14:52] <Xtreme> but the question remains, how to install it?
[14:52] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: pastebin your: sudo lshw -C video please
[14:53] <BluesKaj> Xtreme, I repeat, check your package manager for i965 driver in that case
[14:53] <Xtreme> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Hv6vKwD9nj/
[14:54] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: driver is loaded: driver=i915
[14:56] <BluesKaj> Xtreme,  https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-UHD-Graphics-620-GPU-Review-Benchmarks-and-Specs.239936.0.html
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> Xtreme: try a higher kernel from mainline, meanwhile you can pastebin us your dmesg? lets have a look whats going on there
[14:57] <Xtreme> sure, 2 mins.
[14:57] <Xtreme> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1065852/how-to-upgrade-intel-graphics-driver
[14:57] <Xtreme> trying this
[15:02] <tomreyn> Xtreme: "VGA compatible driver" is simply Intels way of saying this is their standard driver for anything VGA (and better). it doesn't mean that there's anything not working. you should be using this driver.
[15:02] <tomreyn> oh i'm late
[15:05] <GreyXor> Hello! Do you guys recommend ext4 or f2fs for ssd ?
[15:05] <jeremy31> UHD620 works fine in Ubuntu 18.04
[15:06] <whislock> GreyXor: So which OS are you running, Arch or Ubuntu?
[15:07] <GreyXor> whislock, both, but this is not important
[15:08] <whislock> GreyXor: It is, actually. This channel provides community support for Ubuntu systems.
[15:09] <dannyjazz> I am trying to load from apps the app called samba, when I click on it nothing happens then I see a fix to load gksu but I get error when loading
[15:09] <GreyXor> ok
[15:30] <kk4ewt> dannyjazz;  i highly suggest you google samba
[15:41] <chuckW> hi. i have an external 3.0 usb hdd 3tb. at startup it's being recognized but no block device is showing up in /dev/sd* i put usb_storage in /etc/modules and rebooted still. unplugged plugged back and the dmesg shows:
[15:42] <chuckW> https://pastebin.com/0uF0mSMS
[15:44] <heap_> jesus christ
[15:44] <lotuspsychje> heap_: can we help you?
[15:44] <heap_> how can i get rid of all partiitons created on my flash disk ... as part of the creation of boot stick?
[15:44] <heap_> what a nonsense is that boot stick creation?
[15:45] <heap_> thre are some 2 partions that even win/osx ubuntu cant remove / reformat
[15:45] <whislock> heap_: How did you create a boot stick, exactly?
[15:47] <heap_> ok cfdisk helps
[15:47] <whislock> gdisk will allow you to nuke all existing partition structures.
[15:47] <chuckW> anyone?
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> chuckW: did you try to reformat it?
[15:48] <chuckW> the hdd works fine as it is
[15:48] <tomreyn> chuckW: with those messages repeating, it looks like a bad cable or insufficient power supply.
[15:48] <chuckW> oh. maybe i need a stronger power supply for the board itself even if the hdd is self powered with its own external adapter?
[15:49] <heap_> whislock: i dont know
[15:49] <heap_> there must be something on it
[15:49] <chuckW> hm. that'd been one of my latter thoughts only. i'll try now
[15:49] <heap_> something written
[15:49] <heap_> as linux can see it but osx only 2.5mb instead of 7gb
[15:50] <tomreyn> chuckW: shouldn't be if the drives' external power supply is sufficient to power it. however, they often are not, so that some power is still drawn from the computer.
[15:50] <heap_> maybe some partition table is broen
[15:50] <heap_> broken it still shows there are free space / partition/freespace
[15:50] <heap_> nonsense
[15:51] <chuckW> i see well i plugged the little box into the router's usb port. it mustn't be stronger than 500ma
[15:52] <chuckW> hm. plugged into a 2a charger but same
[15:53] <tomreyn> heap_: you could run a s.m.a.r.t. self-test, or examine the data that the drives gathered so far. but the output you posted does not suggest issues with the pysical storage.
[15:53] <tomreyn> chuckW: ^ this was for you, not heap (sorry)
[15:54] <chuckW> it should be okay since i just unplugged it from another small linux armhf box
[15:54] <chuckW> this box is an older release though.
[15:54] <chuckW> Linux cubieboard 3.4.43+ #1 PREEMPT Mon Aug 19 15:35:54 CST 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
[15:54] <tomreyn> chuckW: try cross-testing cables. unplug other usb devices you casn live without for now.
[15:54] <heap_> tomreyn: no there is no issue with phy disck
[15:54] <heap_> that stupid tool created partition in the middle of the disk
[15:55] <tomreyn> chuckW: are you kidding me...
[15:55] <chuckW> :D
[15:55] <amikot> hello :)
[15:55] <heap_> its simply unallocated space; parttion;  unallocated space
[15:55] <heap_> so
[15:55] <chuckW> so that means the drive is simply unsupported by this release?
[15:55] <heap_> and i am not able to merge all these parts
[15:55] <heap_> or that tool is not able
[15:56] <tomreyn> chuckW: this kernel is not supported here, and probably not the OS you rtun there either
[15:56] <tomreyn> s/OS/distro/
[16:04] <amikot> I have new Virtualbox on my server and also installed virtualbox repository, but still apt want to prefeer bionic-security update to version 5.2 over oracle repo with version 6.0 - how to make apt to prefer oracle repo over bionic-security one?
[16:09] <dff> lotuspsychje: i did not add modset, i tried it in grub as temp
[16:09] <dff> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fVCkybJrSS/
[16:10] <dff> i did not have the low res splash screen issue prior to installing nvidia drivers
[16:10] <lotuspsychje> dff: seems good to me
[16:11] <dff> software & update / additional drivers crashses now
[16:11] <dff> sec ill reboot
[16:13] <dff> xserver-xorg-video-nouveau worked fine, but if i revert to those drivers now
[16:13] <dff> i still get the low res splash
[16:13] <dff> i mean, who cares about a splash screen right, but it really annoys me i cant find a fix for it
[16:13] <dff> ive spent a good 8 hours on it so far
[16:14] <dff> should i try to purge all the nvidia drivers
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> dff: can you pastebin your whole dmesg plz?
[16:14] <dff> sure
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> lets see whats going on in there
[16:15] <CobHead> !paste
[16:15] <CobHead> Please use paste.ubuntu.com instead of pastebin.com
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> CobHead: its the users choice to use the paste of liking
[16:16] <dff> lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H8KVGdRyyp/
[16:16] <CobHead> Aight. It's just other channels on this network doesn't want to use pb
[16:17] <dff> lotuspsychje: could this be it? vt.handoff=1
[16:17] <lotuspsychje> dff: did you add that?
[16:17] <dff> no
[16:17] <jeremy31> vt.handoff is normal
[16:18] <dff> okey
[16:18] <amikot> how to check in terminal installed repository works and apt see the packages from it?
[16:19] <lotuspsychje> dff: do you dualboot in uefi?
[16:19] <dff> yes
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> dff: uefi settings can also influence graphics or wifi
[16:20] <dff> with fastboot off, and i thikn ive set it to only use UEFI. not legacy
[16:21] <dff> lotuspsychje: thing is, i didnt change anything in the uefi settings, this came after i installed nvidia drivers
[16:21] <dff> also
[16:21] <dff> google low res splash screen ubuntu nvidia
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> dff: wich ones did you install at first?
[16:22] <CobHead> You *might* need to edit GRUB to pass the correct resolution at boot
[16:22] <dff> CobHead: ive tried that
[16:22] <dff> about 10 different config addiotions
[16:22] <CobHead> What did you try?
[16:23] <dff> lotuspsychje: i think i installed the nvidia drivers from the offical ubuntu repo
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> dff: yeah we did that togheter for the 415
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> dff: but i mean you had problems before too right
[16:24] <dff> CobHead: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768, GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep, FRAMEBUFFER=y in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
[16:24] <dff> to name a few
[16:24] <dff> lotuspsychje: before i added the PPA
[16:24] <CobHead> But is that the true resolution of your display?
[16:24] <CobHead> 1024x768 that is
[16:24] <dff> CobHead: that's the resolution i get from videoinfo from the grub console
[16:25] <CobHead> Well, GRUB does what you tell it to. If you have 1920x1080 display, you need to tell GRUB that you have a 1920X1080 display.
[16:25] <dff> actually mine was 1280x1024x32
[16:25] <dff> the guide i read
[16:25] <dff> said to use whatever is output from videoinfo
[16:25] <dff> as that is what's supported during boot
[16:25] <CobHead> Did you try to use your true resolution?
[16:25] <dff> i did not
[16:25] <dff> let me try
[16:26] <CobHead> Apparently, from what I read - you need to use your true resolution.
[16:26] <CobHead> I've never bothered with this tbh - I don't care about the splash screen as it is nonexistent for me anyway ;]
[16:26] <dff> i dont care about the splash either, i care about running into a problem i cant fix
[16:26] <dff> :(
[16:27] <dff> linux is all about breaking your setup and fixing it
[16:27] <dff> right? =)
[16:28] <CobHead> Hehe, well - it certainly widens your horizons
[16:29] <CobHead> Luckily, I've never struggled much with Linux and graphics thus far.
[16:30] <dff> GRUB_GFXMODE=2560x1440
[16:30] <dff> GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
[16:30] <dff> did not help
[16:30] <dff> im gonna look in my uefi settings
[16:31] <CobHead> Where's your GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND parameter?
[16:32] <CobHead> Should be set to efi-gop
[16:38] <CobHead> I must truly be insane to upload 20GiB of qcow2 images over a wonky connection. Thank god for rsync
[16:41] <dff> CobHead: GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND=efi-gop like that?
[16:41] <dff> grub complained there no efi-gop.mod file
[16:42] <elichai2> Hey, Is there a way to easily see howthe stack size of a process?
[16:42] <dff> there is*
[16:42] <elichai2> (max/current)
[16:42] <CobHead> I'm not sure if you really need the value in ""
[16:42] <dff> ill try
[16:42] <CobHead> https://www.onetransistor.eu/2016/03/plymouth-fix-nvidia.html
[16:42] <CobHead> This is what I'm looking at.
[16:43] <ioria> btw, it's efi_gop, not efi-gop
[16:43] <dff> ive tried anything you might find on google on this issue
[16:44] <ioria> dff, ls /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/efi_gop.mod
[16:44] <CobHead> duh xd
[16:45] <database2> how to open ubuntu in rw mode in recovery mode
[16:45] <ioria> database2, you remount rw
[16:46] <database2> but how
[16:46] <database2> i am newbie
[16:46] <ioria> database2,  mount -o remount,rw /
[16:47] <database2> ioria: in root shell
[16:48] <ioria> yes (unless it's already mounted rw due a broken friendly-recovery)
[16:48] <database2> ioria: thanks it worked
[16:48] <ioria> ok
[16:57] <rapidwave> I have a kernel for KVM that won't boot. It gets to loading initram and just never goes further.
[16:57] <amikot> I was trying to google it, but there is no answer there - Question is simple, why we are getting grub updates so often? Why we need to upgrade it? Grub update is often causing problems - specially on LVMs and RAID.
[16:58] <ikonia> rapidwave: why do you need a kernel for kvm
[16:58] <ikonia> rapidwave: the standard kernel supports kvm just fine
[16:58] <rapidwave> Oh...I don't think I need one. I have one
[16:59] <ikonia> then why are you not using the stock one
[16:59] <rapidwave> I remember installing a kernel-based virtualization thing. Perhaps that is it?
[16:59] <ikonia> what ???
[16:59] <ikonia> what kernel are you ACTUALLY using
[16:59] <rapidwave> I'm not using the KVM kernel
[16:59] <rapidwave> It is top/default, but won't boot
[16:59] <ikonia> what kernel are you ACTUALLY using
[17:00] <CobHead> Perhaps you mean the HWE kernel
[17:00] <ChiLLabiS> uname -r
[17:00] <rapidwave> 4.15.0-45-generic
[17:02] <ikonia> rapidwave: how did you get that output if it won't boot ?
[17:02] <jcotton> is there any way to fake dimming of a desktop monitor? On Windows I would usually use f.lux for this, but I'm not sure how to do it on Ubuntu 18.10
[17:03] <CobHead> Flux exists for Ubuntu aswell
[17:03] <rapidwave> uname -a
[17:03] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: you mean like night lights?
[17:03] <ikonia> rapidwave: you can't run that command if you're machine won't boot though
[17:03] <rapidwave> I'm not using KVM kernel, I'm using another..
[17:03] <jcotton> lotuspsychje: not just blue light reduction
[17:03] <jcotton> reduction of all light
[17:03] <rapidwave> I didn't boot with the KVM kernel!
[17:03] <ikonia> so how are you getting that output
[17:03] <ikonia> rapidwave: right, so that's not the kernel you're having a problem with
[17:03] <rapidwave> I used uname -a
[17:03] <ikonia> so thats miss-leading output
[17:03] <rapidwave> Oh...it gives me that output when I try to boot using it
[17:04] <ikonia> what ?
[17:04] <ikonia> it gives you the same output as the working kernel ?
[17:04] <rapidwave> How do I get a list of all installed kernels?
[17:04] <rapidwave> ikonia: Are you listening at all?
[17:04] <CobHead> Stop. Just. Stop. Now. You're crosstalking like heck and this is causing our heads to hurt for sure.
[17:04] <ikonia> rapidwave: yes, it's not making sense what you are saying
[17:04] <ikonia> rapidwave: what is the name of the "broken" kernel
[17:04] <rapidwave> I need to get a list of all installed kernels
[17:04] <ikonia> rapidwave: no, just give me the name of the broken one
[17:05] <ikonia> and to be honest, if the default one is working - why don't you just use that ?
[17:05] <rapidwave> It is the same damn thing, it just says KVM after it
[17:05] <ikonia> just use the standard one then
[17:05] <rapidwave> instead of generic, it says kvm
[17:05] <ikonia> and remove the kvm one
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: there's nightlight or brightness, not sure what else you want?
[17:06] <rapidwave> Yes. How do I remove that one?
[17:06] <rapidwave> How do I remove the kvm kernel?
[17:06] <ikonia> rapidwave: open the package manager, search for kernel, click remove against the one you no longer want
[17:07] <jcotton> lotuspsychje: nvm, just found ddccontrol, might let me actually adjust the brightness
[17:07]  * jcotton tries
[17:10] <ioria> !info ddccontrol
[17:11] <rapidwave> I can't find it it software manager
[17:11] <ikonia> rapidwave: what version of ubuntu are using ?
[17:11] <rapidwave> bionic
[17:14] <jcotton> ugh nope, didn't work :/
[17:15] <ioria> rapidwave, dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[17:15] <CobHead> jcotton, Why not use f.lux for Ubuntu though?
[17:16] <jcotton> CobHead: ... i honestly didn't think to try that
[17:16]  * jcotton headdesks
[17:16] <CobHead> xd
[17:16] <jcotton> i'll try that in a minute
[17:16] <ioria> jcotton,  or xrandr
[17:17] <ikonia> rapidwave: I don't see any kernel pakage that is kvm specific in the base ubuntu repos
[17:17] <ikonia> !info linux-generic
[17:17] <ikonia> I can find the pae version and the hwe version, but certainly not a kvm version
[17:18] <ikonia> there is linux-image-4.15-kvm
[17:18] <ikonia> I assume that's it ?
[17:18] <ikonia> so if you open the package manager and search for linux-image-4.15 you should see the kvm package you need
[17:25] <rapidwave> Oh crap. I probably didn't install that from the repo
[17:25] <CobHead> You built it from source? :d
[17:26] <rapidwave> I may have
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> rapidwave: you need to mention things like that at your first question
[17:26] <rapidwave> Pretty sure it's this actually https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page
[17:28] <CobHead> To put it short: You don't need a "KVM kernel" to utilize KVM. You need 1) VT-d/x enabled in the BIOS 2) Install the required packages on host 3) Ensure that the kernel params for virtualization exists.
[17:29] <CobHead> Then - virtualize away.
[17:29] <rapidwave> Okay. Well, I just need to know how to remove the kvm kernel that I do have.
[17:30] <ikonia> rapidwave: you need to know how you installed it
[17:30] <ikonia> rapidwave: and why do you "need" to remove it if - if it's just a bit messy and you don't know
[17:30] <rapidwave> Really, I just need to make it so it's not the default boot
[17:31] <ikonia> rapidwave: ok - so that's a totally different thing
[17:31] <ikonia> if you can remember how you installed it , great, if not, just change the grub default boot option and rebuild the grub config
[17:32] <rapidwave> That is what i mean, I don't know how to change the default
[17:33] <ikonia> rapidwave: edit /etc/default/grub then rebuild the grub config
[17:34] <ikonia> also a cool command (I've never used it) grub-set-default
[17:34] <ikonia> man page says it works simple, but I've never used it, so wouldn't personally be able to say for sure
[17:35] <lowkeycoat1> im missing something and i hope you guys can help. im using ubuntu 16.04 and im trying to download windows 10 iso through microsoft website using firefox but when the download finishes it just says lost or missing file
[17:36] <rapidwave> I modified /etc/default/grub and ran updategrub
[17:36] <ikonia> lowkeycoat1: oddly downloaded it about a week ago myself and it worked great
[17:36] <ikonia> lowkeycoat1: is your interernet actually completing the download or dropping before the end
[17:38] <lowkeycoat1> iknoia: the internet stays i can download anything else just iso files seem to be an issue
[17:39] <dff> CobHead: GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND=efi_gop did not help
[17:40] <jhutchins> lowkeycoat1: Please ask in #ubuntu, this is #debian.
[17:40] <dff> what
[17:40] <dff> this is #ubuntu
[17:40] <CobHead> wat
[17:40] <CobHead> You okay there jhutchins
[17:40] <jhutchins> Damn.  Sincere apologies.
[17:40] <dff> need a glass of water?
[17:40] <dff> :)
[17:40] <dff> anyway, i feel im doomed
[17:41] <CobHead> Probably
[17:41] <jhutchins> Need to pay attention to what channel I'm in.
[17:41] <dff> the only thing i can image would help if adding a module in initramfs
[17:41] <dff> what do you think CobHead
[17:41] <dff> if=is
[17:41] <jhutchins> lowkeycoat1: What about using curl or wget?
[17:41] <CobHead> dff, well - I have never attempted to do so to solve graphical problems
[17:42] <CobHead> But sure - you can try?
[17:42] <dff> it's not loading the nvidia drivers until i decrypt the volume
[17:42] <dff> is it?
[17:42] <CobHead> Probably not.
[17:42] <dff> so
[17:42] <dff> then why the crap isnt it using the same drivers as before
[17:42] <CobHead> Actually
[17:42] <jhutchins> dff: Might be loading the kms module from initramfs.
[17:43] <dff> jhutchins: which module do i want it to load
[17:43] <lowkeycoat1> jhutchins.. so if debian is in the ubuntu room where is ubuntu then?
[17:43] <dff> so the splash screen not to be 4x4
[17:43] <CobHead> It's here xd
[17:43] <dff> kidding, but it's really low res
[17:43] <CobHead> (I've never seen anyone working so hard and so long to fix res problems on the splash logo)
[17:44] <jhutchins> I blame the cat.
[17:44] <dff> CobHead: before i didnt know anything about grub config :D
[17:44] <CobHead> The more you learn the deeper you dig ;-]
[17:44] <dff> and now im about to learn how initramfs works
[17:44] <dff> right
[17:47] <dff> jhutchins: could this be a thing
[17:47] <dff> DRM kernel mode setting
[17:47] <dff> nvidia 364.16 adds support for DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) kernel mode setting. To enable this feature, add the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel parameter, and add nvidia, nvidia_modeset, nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to the initramfs according to Mkinitcpio#MODULES.
[17:47] <dff> not sure about the last part
[17:47] <dff> but what about nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to initramfs
[17:51] <jhutchins> dff: You need to build the compressed init ram fs.  I would gyess that the instructions are in the minintcpio manpage.
[17:52] <dff> sounds over my head
[17:52] <dff> if the splash screen is high res from a live-usb
[17:53] <dff> can i assume the uefi settings have nothing to do with my problem?
[17:53] <ioria>  minintcpio is arch linux  i guess
[17:53]  * dff is about to file a $5.000 bounty to have this fixed
[17:56] <ioria> dff, already tried efi_uga instead of gop ?
[18:00] <vlad_> I am trying to figure out why my internet is super slow on ubuntu
[18:01] <vlad_> I am only getting 0.4Mbps according to google's speed test -- my other computer in the same room on the same wifi gets 40
[18:01] <vlad_> as does the slow machine when I boot windows
[18:02] <vlad_> I am using an Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter (usb stick)
[18:02] <dff> ioria: i have not
[18:03] <ioria> dff, try it, sudo update-grub; maybe again sudo update-initramfs -u
[18:03] <jeremy31> vlad_: What module does it use?
[18:04] <vlad_> jeremy31: not sure, what's should I grep for in lsmod?
[18:04] <jeremy31> vlad_: cfg
[18:05] <vlad_> jeremy31: cfg80211
[18:05] <jeremy31> vlad_: anything else shown?
[18:06] <vlad_> used by rtlwifi,mac80211
[18:06] <vlad_> but only one line
[18:07] <jeremy31> vlad_:  run the 2 commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/a2bee9856d8c13f42f1835bc31bf9480 in terminal, post the termbin URL after the second command is run
[18:07] <Xtreme> okay, my system crashed
[18:07] <Xtreme> giving dmesg
[18:08] <Xtreme> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HxXVX3C7hb/
[18:08] <Xtreme> yvyz: ^^
[18:08] <vlad_> jeremy31: https://termbin.com/gunm
[18:10] <jeremy31> vlad_:  first command> sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
[18:11] <jeremy31> vlad, we can try blacklisting the rtl8192cu module and see how well rtl8xxxu does
[18:12] <jeremy31> vlad_:  echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192cu.conf
[18:12] <jeremy31> vlad_: then you can reboot, if for some reason wifi doesn't work at all do> sudo modprobe rtl8192cu
[18:19] <dff> ioria: no luck. this is my grub config file - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Zf56RHNnBt/
[18:24] <ioria> dff, and 2560x1440 is listed when you run videoinfo  ?
[18:28] <jcotton> i'm having a rather bizzare issue where snaps seem to lose their data after a reboot
[18:28] <jcotton> this has happened with Slack (official but beta) and Discord (unofficial), have to log back into them after a reboot
[18:28] <jcotton> Ubuntu 18.10, fully updated
[18:28] <vlad_> jeremy31: the blacklist helped a lot. I'm now seeing ~20Mbps download, which is still half Windows (and my laptop, on the same wifi in the same room is getting 150!!)
[18:31] <vlad_> I guess I might just need a better antenna
[18:31] <dff> ioria: it's not it was a suggestion from a another user, ill change that too
[18:31] <jeremy31> vlad_: did you also run the command that started with sudo sed?
[18:31] <vlad_> jeremy31: yes
[18:32] <jeremy31> vlad_: Didn't realize it was a micro adapter
[18:33] <dff> ioria: no luck this time around either
[18:33] <ioria> dff, you need to check the  videoinfo  output for the supported video modes
[18:33] <dff> GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x32
[18:33] <dff> i did
[18:33] <dff> that's it
[18:34] <ioria> dff,  and the Adapter line ? what it says ?
[18:35] <dff> Adapter "EFI GOPDRIVER":
[18:36] <dff> * 0x002 1280 x 1024 x32 (5120) Direct color, mask: 8/8/8/8 pos: 16/8/0/24
[18:36] <ioria> dff,  so reverse  to GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND="efi_gop"
[18:37] <dff> then there is Bochs PCE Video driver and Cirrus CLGD PCI video driver with no info available
[18:37] <ioria> dff,  ^
[18:38] <dff> no luck
[18:39] <dff> one difference tho, the desktop background place holder is grey instead of black before the background image laods
[18:41] <ioria> dff,  and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash is correctly set with FRAMEBUFFER=y ?
[18:42] <dff> yes
[18:42] <CobHead> I see you're still troubleshooting it
[18:43] <CobHead> You're persistent, I'll give you that :d
[18:43] <dff> im this close to giving up tho
[18:43] <dff> very grateful for everyone who has chipped in with suggestions tho
[18:46] <ioria> dff, dod oyu use encryption (fde) ?
[18:46] <ioria> *do you
[18:46] <CobHead> Yes, he does
[18:46] <CobHead> Encrypt _all_ the things
[18:47] <dff> ioria: yes LVM
[18:50] <ioria> dff,  v86d is installed ?
[18:50] <dff> that's an approach i havent heard of
[18:51] <dff> but i had to take a break and do something else
[18:51] <dff> ill ping when you i investigate
[18:52] <dff> change the position of you and when while reading that
[19:00] <Xtreme> Hey, quick quesiton. My laptop has Intel UHD 620, but i can see that its running i915 compatibility driver.
[19:00] <Xtreme> How can I fix that?
[19:11] <murthy> Xtreme: hi
[19:37] <markh79sax> hey, can someone help me out with an error issue please?
[19:37] <markh79sax> is a bit convoluted
[19:47] <zetheroo> vidstabdetect is listed here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/ffmpeg-filters.1.html so why am I getting "No such filter: 'vidstabdetect'" when trying to use it?
[19:48] <ryuo> zetheroo: one possibility: it's a documented feature but one not enabled in Ubuntu packaging.
[19:48] <zetheroo> ryuo: that would be a tad misleading :/
[19:48] <ryuo> it happens sometimes.
[19:50] <ryuo> https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/19089/youtube-like-video-stabilization-on-linux
[19:51] <zetheroo> gr8 thanks - I guess I have to use the less-good filter
[19:59] <zetheroo> ryou: I got vidstab working by upgrading to ffmpeg 4 (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4)
[20:01] <texla> Dell desktop w/Ubuntu 18.04.1 Boots to desktop and icons display..click on software update app runs partial way then all freezes have to hard shutdown
[20:01] <zetheroo> texla: maybe try updating via terminal
[20:02] <zetheroo> sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
[20:02] <texla> zetheroo Thanks for info
[20:03] <zetheroo> texla: You're welcome
[20:18] <klaasvakie> hi, will bionic ever get netplan > 0.9? I need dhcp4-overrides which I understand requires netplan > 0.9
[20:19] <klaasvakie> alternatively is there a ppa for running a newer netplan on bionic?
[20:21] <ioria> snap netplan is 0.95+
[20:23] <klaasvakie> ioria, mmm, i've been stying clear of snaps, mostly because I cant control when and how updates will run. Not sure if I wan't bleeding edge netplan on a production machine
[20:23] <ioria> right
[20:24] <ioria>  !info netplan.io disco
[20:24] <klaasvakie> yeah, I saw 0.95 was in disco
[20:24] <ioria> klaasvakie, but not lts
[20:25] <klaasvakie> but I couldn't see anything about the plans for netplan in bionic on the package page
[20:27] <ioria> klaasvakie, well, what about static config ? :þ
[20:28] <klaasvakie> I think I'll bump this machine back to ifupdown, pity, I quite like netplan.
[20:29] <klaasvakie> ioria, static config is possible, but a bit icky.
[20:29] <ioria> klaasvakie, nope (unless you really need  dhcp)
[20:30] <klaasvakie> I need dhcp
[20:32] <ioria> klaasvakie, do you have several machines on the lan ?
[20:33] <klaasvakie> its a cluster of lxc containers on a server. They are managed by saltstack, using dhcp means I can run the same saltscript to launch each container without having to special-case each machine.
[20:34] <ioria> i see
[20:39] <ioria> klaasvakie, maybe you can try with /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
[20:40] <klaasvakie> ioria, yeah, that's the way i'm going and using ifupdown.
[21:18] <mykhyggz> having some issues with firefox -- started with not loading, purged, reinstalled, now it won't open my html part from claws, a feature I used constantly. is this a 'snap' issue, maybe? Never seen this before recent install.
[21:20] <nightshift> Tangentially, I've been wondering about snap as well.
[21:21] <nightshift> would rather not use it at all, but haven't figured out just how integrated it is. Sorry I can't help with your issue at all, I'm running console only
[21:22] <mykhyggz> nightshift: thanks for that. this is a real problem, IMO. I'll see if I can install some other way, if there's still a .deb, say. :(
[21:23] <nightshift> There is, I don't actually use snap, install everything through apt(-get)
[21:24] <nightshift> mykhyggz: so, depending on how integrated snap is in this system, it should be possible to uninstall it
[21:26] <mykhyggz> already done. sudo apt install in progress
[21:26]  * mykhyggz is a former gentoo user, so…
[21:27] <Lantizia> People I introduce to Linux often ask if something like Paint.NET will run... as much as I detest .NET/Mono - can it be assumed that *now* it either will run - or it's got a lot easier to run... because it seems the latest mono v5.18 supports .NET 4.7.2 and that's exactly the version Paint.NET needs?
[21:28] <Lantizia> obviously I'm not talking with wine's assistance here - that was already possible
[21:28] <mykhyggz>  which firefox \ /usr/bin/firefox \ firefox & \ bash: /snap/bin/firefox: No such file or directory — LOL ;-)
[21:28] <nightshift> mykhyggz, no worries, I've had to assume very noob people asking questions.....
[21:29] <nightshift> hahahaha mykhyggz
[21:29] <mykhyggz> and, lo, all my preferences and bookmarks have come back.
[21:29] <nightshift> YAY
[21:30] <mykhyggz> YAY is right. and file:///home/mykhyggz/.claws-mail/mimetmp/00000016.mimetmp.html is read just fine thank  you very much!
[21:30] <nightshift> The other thing I want to get rid of (I'm running ubuntu server) is cloudinit. I have NO intention of running a cloud server.....
[21:30]  * mykhyggz thinks this was  a bad thing to do to the users without warning. Hmm.
[21:32] <fleabeard> if you subscribe to some of the linux youtube channels, you'll learn quickly that ubuntu is basically HitlerOS for using snaps, lol
[21:32] <mykhyggz> Having worked with a package manager, I understand the problem it tries to solve, but, really, it claimed to have permission to read files in my home folder, but didn't. Something was broken. Oh, well. Moving on! '-)
[21:34] <nightshift> fleabeard, forgive my lack of understanding of (I assume) linux culture, but does that mean if we don't want to use snap, we might want to be looking at migrating to other distros?
[21:35] <ryahi_skaprinav> How do I login $ubuntu channel without typing /msg NickServ identify username password everytime?
[21:36] <fleabeard> nightshift, some would say yes, though I'm new to linux myself (mostly) and snaps/flatpaks are a new concept for me. But most of the old timers literally have conniption fits when talking about snaps/flatpaks. Its all so odd to see from the sidelines.
[21:36] <DalekSec> ryahi_skaprinav: It is the freenode network you're logging into, and if you wish to do that then using your client's SASL feature is your best bet.
[21:37] <nightshift> fleabeard: I'm fairly new myself (recently back to linux after a 15 year break, and at that time I just played with it, didn't actually use it), and I'm having the same fits. I do not want them, at all
[21:39] <fleabeard> I've never had an issue using apt get outside of maybe the package not being in a repo, so I'm not entirely sure what problems snaps try to solve outside of maybe needed dependancies, but I've always been prompted mostly that I need additional packages and it asks if I wanna install them too via apt install. So color me confused lol
[21:42] <WoC> Anyone using AMD GFX and OpenCL ?
[21:45] <nightshift> fleabeard: from what I can tell, snap tries to solve the dependencies "problem", is supposed to be more secure, and, supposedly, solves the issue of the package/package version you need not being available in the official repos
[21:45] <nightshift> The only one that I would consider a problem that is actually partially solved is the not in repo issue
[21:46] <nightshift> But, then again, I've never not been able to get what I need anyway (only exception right now is bind/named, I'm getting an EOL version on one machine and a slightly out of date version on another)
[21:55] <johnfg> hi folks
[21:55] <johnfg> Who should be the owner.group of /var/www/html?
[21:56] <p3tr1nn1> I think root
[21:56] <p3tr1nn1> no
[21:56] <p3tr1nn1> www-data
[21:57] <johnfg> As it installed, it's all root, p3tr1nn1 as you first said, but I think, as I have that user.group, it should be changed to that.
[21:57] <johnfg> I wonder why it doesn't install as such?
[21:57] <p3tr1nn1> what's the owner.group you currently have
[21:59] <nightshift> I don't have a webserver on my ubuntu system, I don't think, but on my other systems it's www-data, but for some reason root owns the actual default files
[21:59] <p3tr1nn1> maybe it's because it is located under /var
[22:01] <johnfg> p3tr1nn1: It was installed by apt as root.root.
[22:01] <nightshift> probably, that or because installs are run via sudo
[22:02] <p3tr1nn1> johnfg you can change the owner.group, do you know how to
[22:02] <p3tr1nn1> ?
[22:02] <nightshift> also, try looking at (assuming here) apache2's config and make sure it'll be running as www-data
[22:02] <johnfg> nightshift: Yes, but one thing to nightshift: lots of other programs that are installed set and create users as needed.
[22:03] <johnfg> E.g., nslcd, when it's installed creates user.group nslcd.nslcd.
[22:04] <johnfg> nightshift: That's a great idea.  Probably will change owner.group to www-data.www-data.
[22:04] <nightshift> true johnfg, and MY apache2 installs DO create the user, it's just the default "your web server is working" file that seems to actually be owned by root
[22:06] <DUKENUKEM> anyone know where ic an get linux-image-4.4.0-142-generic-dbgsym ?
[22:06] <ryahi_skaprinav> Whenever I open hexchat it goes to $ubuntu-unregged. How do i get it to open $ubuntu on startup
[22:06] <p3tr1nn1> DUKENUKEM have you tried searching on Google ?
[22:06] <DUKENUKEM> p3tr1nn1: no...... thats a great idea!

[22:07] <p3tr1nn1> DUKENUKEM you might find it there
[22:07] <DUKENUKEM> thanks. anyone else?
[22:07] <johnfg> nightshift: are you talking about your installs other than ubuntu?  I know you said on this one, you didn't have an apache server.
[22:08] <nightshift> Yes, on debian and raspbian, the user and directories are properly created, with the correct permissions
[22:09] <nightshift> my ubuntu machine is acting as a mediaserver only, so, now apache install
[22:09] <nightshift> no, not now
[22:11] <johnfg> I wonder why the installer script doesn't set owner, group and permission like it should be?
[22:13] <p3tr1nn1> DUKENUKEM I found a link with the download, if you search for the image name on Google it will be the first linik
[22:14] <DUKENUKEM> thats x86
[22:14] <DUKENUKEM> sorry, i should have bene more specifics
[22:14] <DUKENUKEM> i need amd64 but for some reason cant find it, unless im being dumb (probably)
[22:15] <p3tr1nn1> hmm ok
[22:16] <ryahi_skaprinav> is there a free plugin like pastebin for hexchat
[22:16] <nightshift> ryahi_skaprinav you need to get yourself autoidentified (google hexchat's userguide for how to do that), and then make sure that your autojoin command doesn't run until after you are identified
[22:18] <ryahi_skaprinav> Yeah it workied this time. I just had to make my username same as my nickname
[22:18] <nightshift> yup
[22:18] <ryahi_skaprinav> is there a plugin like pastebin for hexchat
[22:19] <nightshift> as for the plugin for a pastebin of some sort, honestly I just keep at least one browser window open to a pastebin if I'm getting help with anything that would require it
[22:20] <ryahi_skaprinav> I also do that but was just wondering if there was something there
[22:22] <nightshift> not that I'm aware of ryahi_skaprinav, but, then again, I don't have use for something like that, so I've never looked. Maybe try a google search?
[22:22] <ryahi_skaprinav> ok thanks nightshift
[22:23] <krytarik> ryahi_skaprinav: And there is also the #hexchat channel.
[22:24] <jeremy31> ryahi_skaprinav: in hechat, you can do something like> /exec -o command | nc termbin.com 9999
[22:24] <jeremy31> ryahi_skaprinav: that will post the termbin URL to chat for the command
[22:25] <tomreyn> DUKENUKEM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
[22:29] <DUKENUKEM> tomreyn: yeah ive done that. there is no dbgsym package for -142, only -21, at least from what i see. so i installed -21 but now systemtap is broken. oh well, im just going to install a new ubuntu version and re-build the kernel
[22:29] <tomreyn> DUKENUKEM: and you're on whihc ubuntu release?
[22:30] <DUKENUKEM> xenial
[22:34] <Ecliptica> Hi all. I've recently set up an instance of Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Server. I only seem to have access to 4 GB of my 1 TB disk and I'm trying to sort out why
[22:34] <hggdh> DUKENUKEM: have you had a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe (and related pages)?
[22:35] <tomreyn> DUKENUKEM: there is for -143 which is in -proposed
[22:36] <Ecliptica> I have the output of df -h and lsblk here: https://pastebin.com/ZYMZGem6
[22:36] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: that's by default, the LVM2 logical volume is not created larger than that. but you can increase its size.
[22:36] <Ecliptica> tomreyn: That sounds like that I need, how do I go about doing that?
[22:37] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: start running all of pvs, vgs, lvs and post their outputs to a püastebin
[22:37] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: with sudo, please
[22:38] <Ecliptica> tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/QyRbM2Zz
[22:38] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: so your root file system is 4G. do you want to grow this, or rather add more LVs + file systems?
[22:39] <Ecliptica> I don't know of a reason to add more LVs/FSs, so unless there's a disadvantage to just growing root I suppose that's what I want.
[22:40] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: 4G is admittedly rather small for /, it's probably the minimum that would work. so you may want to increase this to maybe 6 or 8, and add more partitions to hold your application data.
[22:40] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: how will you using this system? what will be running there?
[22:41] <tomreyn> i'm wondering about the services you will run, not the data you will process
[22:42] <Ecliptica> A few different things, mainly as a file/webserver, and will probably run some game servers on it for a small number of users
[22:44] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: so there are reasons to keep the OS file system small. namely, during boot, everything gets delayed until the root (/) file system has been checked for errors (since it can only be done this way from a running system). so a smaller / gets you faster startup. but there are other reasons. imagine someone uses all the space your file server provides. if it stores data on the same file system as where / is, it means your sserver casn no
[22:44] <tomreyn> longer write log files, may have trouble booting properly because a kernel updates can't be installed properly and similar.
[22:45] <tomreyn> so there are good reasons to have services you run write to a different file system (and thus to a different LV).
[22:45] <Ecliptica> Ok, that makes sense to me. :) So probably doing what you said makes the most sense, increasing root slightly to 6 or 8 and then creating a new LV for everything else.
[22:46] <tomreyn> the benefit of LVs (LVM2 logical volumes) over partitions is that you gain flexibility. partitions can't always be moved or resized without rebooting.
[22:47] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: sudo lvresize --resizefs -L 8G ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv
[22:49] <Ecliptica> That seems to have worked :) I can probably google my way through setting up the new LV. Thanks so much for your help!
[22:49] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: how large will you need the data storage to be? keep in mind that you can always grow LVs and file systems while they are online (mounted), but shrinking is not porssible then. so just having them at the size you'll likely need for now, not the full available size, can be a good idea.
[22:50] <Ecliptica> I think ~512 GB for the new LV would be ideal.
[22:53] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: so, google if you like to learn, which i think is a good idea, or come back here if you can't find it. one more thing to point out: you'll need to do all of this: add a new LV of the right size (or a bit more since it will have to contain the file system, whic will have to be a bit smaller), create a file system (ext4, xfs may be good candidates), add this new file system to /etc/fstab to have it mounted automatically on boot, with
[22:53] <tomreyn> the right pass id to also have it error checked.
[22:54] <tomreyn> blkid will tell you it's UUID, which is a better way to specify file systems in /etc/fstab than their device path (such as /dev/sda1)
[22:56] <Ecliptica> Okay, I'll give it a shot :) I appreciate all the info, it is very helpful!
[22:57] <tomreyn> you're welcome. :)
[23:06] <nightshift> crossing fingers, rebooting after removing cloud-init
[23:09] <nightshift> oy, looks like boot is stalled, gonna have to go check it (I knew I should have taken a few backups before doing the reboot!)
[23:10] <tomreyn> removing cloud-init wont have caused this
[23:17] <patakija> @tomreyn   We talked about this issue earlier, no matter what i do the kubuntu installer/kive session cant seem to find the emmc storage....
[23:18] <nightshift> tomreyn, you
[23:18] <nightshift> re right, boot didn't stall, it appears to not have connected to the network
[23:18] <tomreyn> patakija: which version of kubuntu are you trying to install?
[23:18] <patakija>  18.10
[23:19] <tomreyn> patakija: can you run this to post your log online and post the http address here?  journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
[23:20] <tomreyn> nightshift: di you change the netork configuration after the previous boot then?
[23:20] <lowkeycoat1> I don't know how to Google this so I'm asking here, I'm running Windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 dual on laptop, can I actually use Windows in a virtual machine through ubuntu?
[23:20] <patakija> in bios all  the info i can get about the emmc is that it is on controller 0, device type emmc, model name SanDisk DF4064 5E6CF06
[23:21] <nightshift> tomreyn: I was following a combination of https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/12/01/ubuntu-bionic-netplan and https://serverfault.com/a/919887
[23:21] <nightshift> I suspect the problem is what I put in my new yaml file
[23:21] <Ecliptica> So I've added a new ext4 partition using fdisk /dev/sda3. fdisk says its name is /dev/sda3p1, but I can't mount it (I get 'special device /dev/sda3p1 does not exist')
[23:22] <nightshift> Ok,the serverfault link really didn't add anything, other than leading me to the first link
[23:22] <tomreyn> lowkeycoat1: here's a way to set this up using virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#rawdisk
[23:22] <kk4ewt> did you format it after you created it
[23:22] <kk4ewt> Ecliptica;
[23:23] <Ecliptica> No, do I have to? fdisk shows the type as 'Linux'.
[23:23] <kk4ewt> yes you have to format it
[23:23] <tomreyn> lowkeycoat1: but if you're happy with running windows only from a VM under ubuntu you should consider converting the physical storage into a VDI file on your ubuntu managed file systems.
[23:24] <tomreyn> patakija: could you post the command output?
[23:24] <lowkeycoat1> Cool! Thank you.
[23:24] <kk4ewt> Ecliptica;  man mkfs
[23:25] <patakija> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/nulu
[23:25] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: i don't think adding a new partition is what you wanted to do there really. you don't need partitions, you have LVM, which are an alternative, more flexible.
[23:25] <patakija>   * https://termbin.com/mulu
[23:26] <tomreyn> patakija: thanks., give me a few minutes to read this (much text)
[23:28] <tomreyn> patakija: am i right in that we talked previously today?
[23:28] <tomreyn> oh right that's what you said.
[23:30] <Ecliptica> tomreyn, I deleted my new partition and rebooted, and I think it caused something bad to happen. "ALERT! /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[23:31] <tomreyn> patakija: do you still have windows installed therE?
[23:31] <patakija> yes
[23:31] <patakija> and it still boots fine without hickups in reasonable time
[23:32] <patakija> (CPU N4200, not a power plant)
[23:35] <tomreyn> patakija: install this on windows, see if it lets you upgrade the firmware on the emmc https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15108
[23:35] <nightshift> hmmmmm, that was odd. First, fixed my server.Missed a couple steps
[23:35] <tomreyn> patakija: its the vendor utility for this purpose. if it offers an upgrade, then it's safe to do that.
[23:35] <nightshift> second, I'm running my workstation off an external drive. drive got disconnected, but, I'm still running, sort of
[23:36] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: there's an error in the device path there
[23:37] <tomreyn> /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg/ubuntu--lv may have been correct. but it'll be better to edit /etc/fstab and set the uuid instead.
[23:37] <tomreyn> Ecliptica: "blkid" will show you the UUIDs
[23:41] <patakija> tomreyn: installed it but it doesnt display any info aout the drive, update FW also greyed out
[23:42] <tomreyn> patakija: hmm okay i guess then it only works for their ssd's really
[23:43] <tomreyn> patakija: i'm reading up mor eon this
[23:44] <tomreyn> patakija: do you happen to have a smartphone or other electronic camera, from where you could upload a photo of a section of the mainboard firmware (uefi)? I'd be interested in the  Chipset -> South Bridge > LPSS & SCC Configuration -> SCC SDIO Support   page.
[23:45] <patakija> tomreyn: at least it iven some info, there are 3 storage controllers: SD Storage Class Controller, Standard SATA AHCI controller, Microsoft Storage Spaces controller
[23:45] <tomreyn> or, if this doesn't exist, anything storage related on any "South bridge" submenus
[23:46] <patakija> tomreyn: No such page in the UEFI
[23:50] <tomreyn> patakija: what do you have there about advanced, south bridge, or storage?
[23:53] <patakija> only have advanced, no settings for emmc
[23:54] <tomreyn> patakija: can you take a photo of "advanced" and upload it?
[23:54] <tomreyn> like, the submenus there
[23:55] <tomreyn> patakija: also check if you have any setting there that is set to "RAID" mode, and where "AHCI" is also available as an alternative.
[23:58] <patakija> its pretty watered down but sureű
