[00:18] So I've been wondering if I could quite literally install Ubuntu off of a CD (we're talking Ubuntu MATE x86, either 16.04 or 18.04) [00:19] the2048: Off of DVD, sure :) [00:19] need help building a debian package [00:19] I could also do USB but I've got to pillage my desk drawers (or erase my W10 ESD USB) for one that's large enough [00:21] the2048: A DVD as the image is lo large for a CD. [00:21] That's what I noticed [00:22] Even then I could most likely just use one of my spare USB drives; the computer I'm using supports USB boot [00:23] the2048: How handy with ubuntu are you ? Might consider a minimal - build yer own - instakk, that inage fits on a CD. [00:23] minimal iso, that required wired networking [00:23] I'm not one of the handiest but I'm capable of building packages from source. I'll most likely go down the USB installer route; my Internet connection is too slow for a net install [00:30] nche [00:30] ? === Noisette_ is now known as Noisette [00:40] Hello so I've managed to get Ubuntu 18.04 working but just, seemed to be freezing every couple of minutes any suggestions? [00:41] Have you run drive tests to make sure that the drive isn't failing? [00:41] I had a PC that would just randomly freeze and lock up, then after 2 months the hard drive failed [00:42] I second what the2048 said. I had the same exact experience. [00:42] Jantz: Running our of memory ? How much ram is onboard ? [00:43] Bashing-om 16gb [00:45] Leonardus, the 2048 can you suggest a free quickly accessible reasonably good functioning drive testing program that i can use when my pc unfreezes [00:45] Please? [00:46] You also might want to check memory as well (last I installed Ubuntu it included memtest86+ in the GRUB menu) [00:46] Jantz, https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-fsck/ [00:46] also yes, check your memory [00:46] Also check the log files (/var/log/syslog) and look for error reports. [00:47] As for drive checks, check SMART (it should be in GNOME Disks) [00:48] I've faced failing computer components, check the PSU as well (insufficient PSU can cause crashes too) [00:48] That's getting more into the hardware side of things though [01:06] Thanks guys will do [01:07] Jantz: which hardware do you have there? [01:12] Tomreyn: Can't even remember what type of memory i have, but it was decent at the time of my build about five years ago but everything was working fine on Windows 10 couple of days ago, amd fx8300 cpu, amd matrix platinum hd7970 gpu corsair ax1500ai psu gigabit mobo [01:13] Jantz: ok, nothing too unusual then, and nothing really new. [01:15] Any devices connected when it crashes? [01:15] I had a case where when I plugged in a USB drive the PC crashed [01:17] I had a case where when n-key rollover was enabled on my keyboard, pressing space would make the computer lag [01:17] That could be something too [01:18] Try with a basic keyboard without any flashy features [01:18] the2048: just the usual mouse and keyboard, but that's what might be it too, seems to be jittery when i type stuff and mouse freezes too not sure if it's just that or the whole os but a program did freeze too [01:18] Ah [01:18] Does the motherboard have PS/2 ports, and do you have a mouse and keyboard to use with them for troubleshooting? [01:19] I did notice improved functionality from plugging the usb and mouse into the usb3.0 ports [01:20] That could be something too [01:20] i'd say focus on the memtest first before you spend more time on manual debugging [01:21] Yeah [01:23] Focus on the HDD/RAM/PSU, those are the big three to check [01:23] Even if the PSU is fine, check it [01:23] You never know [01:28] I have repeatedly and completely failed to boot from GRUB2. I can't figure out how to fix it, and I can't figure out how to replace it. How do I fix or replace it? [01:29] I currently have disconnected all but one of my hard drives (I have a weirdly large amount, which doesn't help the situation) and am booted into a live disk for Lubuntu 18.04.1 [01:30] I'd say nuke and pave (back up first though) but don't count on me for that [01:30] macksting: Legacy or EFI booting > [01:30] macksting: Which Ubuntu version is installed, did it work in the past, what changed between then and now, which non standard configurations (software and hardware) do you have, how doe sthe system boot (bios vs uefi)? [01:30] Legacy, seems. [01:30] Whenever I install it, I can at best get it to boot *once.* [01:31] BIOS, I'm pretty sure. I've been able to find absolutely no reference in POST to UEFI and honestly have no idea what it is, which admittedly doesn't help look for it, but it just looks like BIOS to me all the way down. [01:31] And everything complains about Legacy. [01:33] It's Lubuntu 18.04.1, it's never worked in the past more than once at a time on anything resembling this board and configuration for... probably three quarters of a year since I lost the one hard drive that actually booted properly, and I'm not sure what's nonstandard. [01:33] Wipe the whole thing (back up any data first though), enable Secure Boot (UEFI), disable Legacy Boot, reinstall, and check what happens [01:34] I can't figure out how to secure boot at all. [01:34] I can't figure out how UEFI. Any efforts I've made to find UEFI stuff in startup have utterly failed. [01:34] Googling the board has come up with no results referencing UEFI. [01:34] Maybe your board doesn't support UEFI [01:34] Some don't [01:34] This may be because my gooigle fu is awful, but I'm going forward based on that assumption, yes. [01:35] Which does make that instruction difficult to follow, unfortunately. Not trying to be a smart-aleck, just... I am a little up the creek. [01:35] macksting: have you looked for a mainboard firmware update? [01:35] I don't actually know how to do that. [01:35] Might help, though. What's there would be pretty old. [01:36] Does that seem like something which, if applicable, I could do from a live DVD and a USB stick? [01:36] macksting: that does this output (should be just one line)? journalctl -b | grep DMI: [01:37] you can run it from the live cd, no problem [01:37] * macksting nods. [01:37] It'll be a few while I get into that. [01:39] also you should be on lubuntu 18.04.2 if you installed all updates. there are also 18.04.2 installer images. [01:39] Huh. Interesting. [01:40] I can't imagine it's worth trying to get a whole new live CD just for the .2 ? [01:41] if you can boot once after install and update all packages you should effectively have the same [01:42] Say. Here's something. Is there any particular potential problem that can crop up precisely because my RAM filled up and the computer didn't shut down properly because I couldn't get any response from it so I turned it off after a few minutes of waiting? [01:42] That is to say, anything relevant. [01:44] Mar 18 01:39:17 lubuntu kernel: DMI: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0/GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0, BIOS F2 11/25/2014 [01:44] tomreyn: That's the output from journalctl -b etc. [01:44] macksting: possibly corrupted the file system. Might run a 'fsck' ( file system check) from the liveUSB. [01:44] Mrf. Fair enough. [01:45] Odds are I need to get more RAM, stop using Firefox, and maybe turn my game off when I'm not using it. [01:45] She really is running on minimal RAM. [01:45] macksting: there are just two bios versions for this one and you have the latest. [01:46] how much ram is installed there? [01:46] macksting: Ya want at least 4 Gigs of ram for a good user experience :) [01:46] My madman person decided to once install Ubuntu MATE on 2GB of RAM [01:47] It worked for YouTube fairly well [01:47] Y'know, I don't actually recall. But I think 8 gigs. [01:47] So I guess it's more than a shoestring, but it sure can fill up sometimes. [01:48] It honestly depends on your architecture though, if you're 64bit you'll want 8GB as a minimum (that's my definition, some may beg to differ) [01:48] run: free -m [01:48] It's 64bit, yeah, so by your definition it sounds like it's minimum. [01:48] macksting: Plentey ! .. what shows 'free -m' ? [01:48] Well, I'm in the Live CD right now. But okay, let's look. [01:49] Mem: 7958 [01:49] if that's on the first column then it's physical memory, yes [01:50] I oughta get more. Maybe a lot more, because it can do that. [01:50] Anyway, I guess back to boot loader problems? [01:50] the amount of ram you have is not causing any problems, though [01:50] * macksting nods. [01:50] Well, it sure did fill the bleep up and kill my computer, but maybe there's something else causing that. [01:50] do you actually get to see any error message when it fails to boot? [01:50] My resource monitor showing its use was a solid red when I woke up. [01:51] Just a sec. Shall I go try it, and tell you what I see? [01:51] yes [01:51] take a screenshot with a smartphone if needed [01:51] Huh. I'd never thought of doing that. [01:51] that's why i'm telling you ;) [01:52] Try booting a command line liveCD and see what happens [01:53] the: Remind me to do that after I'm done with tom's instructions? [01:53] K [01:53] Okay, for what it's worth, I've seen this before and it's that odd mix of promising and "the last time I got here I exhausted my options." [01:55] * tomreyn hasn't made any promises [01:56] * the2048 is wondering why this is happening in the first place [01:56] What you need to figure out to solve this is why it's happening [01:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/473371686977273856/557019198077927434/IMG_20190317_185431379.jpg [01:58] I'm sure there was a better way to do that. [01:58] sure, you could have noted the text down. [01:58] It's trying to write outside the size of the disk [01:58] Have you tried replacing it? [01:58] Replacing the disk? [01:59] Yes, I suppose I have. I do have an 80 GB disk I was able to boot from, but that's so tiny. [01:59] I think it even booted twice. [01:59] If possible go out and get a 500 GB new hard drive [01:59] That would suffice for booting [01:59] ugh. [02:00] Not really feasible, no. [02:00] Oof [02:00] I have a 3 TB drive that's kicking up this fuss. [02:00] Do you have a 1TB drive to use for boot? [02:00] macksting: show tomreyn ' sudo fisk -lu ' - let's see what it takes to fix the partitioning. [02:00] Kinda. [02:01] Yeah? Back to the live CD, I take it? [02:01] I assume that's not something I can do from grub rescue. [02:01] tomreyn: ^^ legacy reads beyond 2 TB ? [02:01] I have a 1 TB USB drive that I can't get to boot from. I have an 8 TB USB backup thingy that refuses to even mount in a way that I can write to it without sudoing, much less boot, and my efforts to install have run into problems related to legacy-- [02:01] WAIT WHAT? [02:02] Bashing-om: are you suggesting /boot is beyong 2 TB? [02:02] So the problem is my motherboard doesn't have UEFI and my hard drives are too big?! [02:02] are you sure that's a legitimate 1TB USB drive? [02:02] there are a lot of fakes [02:03] I have absolutely no idea how one would fake it. It used to work fine for all sorts of things. Now I just can't get any installation to work for crap on it, but it sure stores a lot of data. [02:03] It's a black rectangular HDD named Kubrick. [02:04] I think the effort to fake a drive that actually still holds 1 TB of data is too closely akin to faking a moon landing by filming it on the moon. [02:04] yeah the fake ones stop storing data properly once you hit about 16gb [02:04] No kidding? That's warped. [02:04] because they take a 16gb drive and modify the firmware so that it displays as 1tb [02:04] Anyway, I'm still at the GRUB rescue screen. If I want to fisk, I want to be in the live disk, right? [02:04] macksting: so far we have not enough information to do anything but speculate, which some of us here seem to focus on. [02:05] Sorry, I'm just trying not to jump ahead. [02:05] can you show the partitioning of the boot disk? [02:06] Maybe. Since you, uh, are asking me to do so right now, I assume you want me to do it from the grub rescue screen? [02:06] also, previously you mentioned that you needed to hard shut down the system, was this necessary during the installation or after it was done? [02:06] After it was done. [02:07] I don't seem to be able to use fisk from grub rescue, so I'll go back to the live disk. [02:07] macksting: you can run the command Bashing-om posted above to print the partiiton table while booted from the live / installer removable disk [02:08] right [02:08] Aaaaaah. Sorry, I hadn't gotten instructions to reboot. [02:08] hi [02:08] we should have explained, yes [02:10] Sorry for my end, I'm trying my best but I'm kinda being pretty literal so as to not leap ahead on much. [02:11] In essence, I'm playing a bit dumb because my very limited degree of expertise and my very limited ability to get this far enough by Google and my own efforts have ended repeatedly in failure. [02:11] But I'm very, very curious about that thing with the 1 TB drive for booting. [02:11] 'Cause I'm using a 3 TB drive, and if that's at all a problem for BIOS... [02:11] Suffice to say it'd explain a lot. [02:11] macksting: 1 TB drive? you spoke about 3 TB earlier [02:12] bashing [02:12] Tom, didn't you say a 1 TB would be ideal, though? [02:12] 'Cause I'm using a 3 TB, and -- [02:12] i didn't say so, no [02:12] Oh. Who was that. [02:13] Maybe nobody. I hope I'm not seeing things. Anyway, I got into the terminal emulator, and fisk isn't on this live disk. [02:13] I guess. [02:13] Command not found. [02:13] yes that's a typo [02:13] Oh. [02:13] sudo fdisk -lu [02:14] sorry, i didn't notice [02:14] let's actually make this: [02:14] i just assumed it meant fish [02:14] sudo fisk -lu | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:14] get the system online before oyu run it [02:14] https://termbin.com/nteh [02:15] wait I'm sorry, what do you mean get the system online? [02:15] Oh, you mean on the net. [02:15] macksting: While we look, consider: https://serverfault.com/questions/259337/using-3tb-hdd-as-boot-drive-on-non-efi-bios . [02:15] it worked [02:15] I shall consider, and hopefully learn. [02:16] good night [02:16] my touchpad not working [02:17] yes, it could be that the bios you have is unable to boot off this disk since it's > 2TB. only some old BIOSes have this limitation but your is old enough that this could be an explanation. [02:17] elantech [02:17] note listed on xinput [02:17] macksting: ^ [02:17] macksting: GPT partitioning here ,, think that the above link does not apply :) [02:17] Oh. [02:19] macksting: please run this next: sudo apt update; sudo apt install smartmontools; sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:19] this gets some diagnostic data from your hdd [02:19] Working on it now. [02:20] o7 [02:20] Um. It's asking me about mail configuration. [02:20] Is that important at all? [02:21] no [02:21] you can leave it unconfigured [02:21] * macksting nods, keeps on trucking without configuring that. [02:22] Oh jeez. Somebody with the username Hey. There's no way somebody hasn't said, Hey, listen. [02:23] https://termbin.com/ll2j [02:23] shoot [02:23] I feel silly now. [02:23] https://termbin.com/iorc [02:23] That's much more sensible. [02:24] Now, uh, let's say it turns out I do have a 1 TB drive, can back up everything on it and reformat it, and... stuff. [02:24] And it's not USB or anything. [02:24] But we'll, uh, get back to that? [02:24] I have a lot of drives. [02:26] macksting: this drive you just posted the info for still seems to be ok, so physical decay is probably not the source of this issue. i think Bashing-om's theory may apply, still, even though it's the more modern partitioning scheme you have. [02:27] * macksting nods. [02:27] Hi there. How can i find what's launching a python script at boot/login if i just know the name and location of such script? [02:27] * macksting , curious, opens gparted to look. [02:27] btw, ubuntu 14.04 [02:28] you are bios booting off a 3 TB disk, where at least part of the partition which contains /boot and thus the kernel to be booted into by grub, is beyond 2 TB. [02:28] So the solution would be to partition off part of it? [02:28] so i'd suggest you retry with a smaller HDD, one which is <= 2 TB in size [02:29] I think I can do that instead. [02:29] I'll definitely want to move a few files. [02:29] i also suggest you create another installer disk, just to be sure you have something to cross test with. [02:29] ideally write it to a usb stick instead [02:30] it's faster, more convenient, boots differently. [02:30] and often (not always) less error prone than optical disks. [02:30] and you can do it right now, form the live system you are running [02:31] DVDs aren't the worst but I prefer USB (some laptops don't have DVD drives anymore, damn it Apple) [02:31] I think I can spare a stick for that. [02:31] why do i no loger see desktop date/time as an option on apps? [02:31] And yeah, now you mention it, a *lot* of lappies totally lack optical. [02:31] im using budgie [02:33] monkey1: hmm, that's hard to tell. i guess i would grep -rF /etc for this script name. but note that Ubuntu 14.04 is on the brim to loosing support. you should really upgrade, or reinstall something newer, such as ubuntu 18.04 LTS [02:33] So it sounds like I should clear the stuff off my 1 TB drive (which may entail as little as making sure I already have them backed up on the 9 TB drive) and then reinstall Lubuntu onto the 1 TB drive, reformating it as I do so? [02:33] And that *should* work? [02:34] macksting: yes, but just do a standard installation, no custom parittioning, no need to tick 'reformat this' anywhere. the installer should do the right thing already. [02:35] tomreyn: i'm aware of the support cycle but it is running on a olpc laptop and they created the issue i'm dealing with, they most likely won't get them to a newer LTS [02:35] macksting: if you want it more fancy you can reinstall with custom partitioning later. it's just to ensure this can actually work out. [02:36] I don't think I was aware it was particularly fancy partitioning, at that. [02:36] macksting: and be sure to use the 18.04.2 installer this time, just to make sure it's not some bug fix got fixed since. [02:36] At only 1 TB, I'm not sure I want fancy anyway. [02:36] Shoot, really? Dangit. [02:36] * macksting pouts. [02:36] That's more worrrrrrrrk [02:36] You will survive, I'm sure. [02:36] yeah i know [02:37] 1 TB is definitely enough for most uses (you're installing what you need, then use the rest of the drives for all your media) [02:37] But some will want 2 TB [02:37] A lot of my games seem to want to take up a lot of space, so I have often preferred to put my home directory elsewhere. [02:37] monkey1: is this because some of the hardware is not well supported on newer linux versions? [02:37] I've been avoiding doing anything fancy lately though. [02:38] macksting: you can easily add more disks later, but be sure to only have this one HDD and this one USB stick connected by the time you install. [02:38] moving /home to a different disk later will be easy. [02:38] Will do. [02:39] Is it? I'll have to come back and ask how. [02:39] tomreyn: don't think so, and i'm not able to test for that. Wish i could just install a fresh system to check. [02:39] I'm not leaving just yet, but I'll probably have to suspend everything for a bit so I can play with my kid for an hour. [02:39] sure, there'll be people here to help. [02:40] monkey1: i'm not sure about their specifications, do you know them OTOH? [02:40] monkey1: also IIRC they came with teir own distribution, i assume you prefer running ubuntu there? which desktop? [02:41] how do we get inxi updated to make the iso for 19.04 ? inxi 3.0.32-00 (2019-02-07) [02:42] right now current one has bad weather and not working this one ricks [02:42] rocks [02:42] tomreyn: The system is (i believe) an ECS EF20EA with 14.04 and Gnome fallback. I installed xfce as it would crawl with gnome. [02:43] monkey1: here's the specifications - this CPU is not very fast indeed, 32-bit, and if i get this right it only has 256 MB RAM, which is definitely not enough anymore for anything other than text: http://laptop.org/en/laptop/hardware/specs.shtml [02:43] tomreyn: sorry, what do you mean with OTOH? [02:44] monkey1: off the top of your head. whether you remember the specifications. but you already responded to this. sorry about the abbreviation. [02:45] !ubuntu+1 | donofrio [02:45] donofrio: Disco Dingo is the codename for Ubuntu 19.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [02:45] tomreyn: i think they have them with 2 gb of ram and a 32 gb emmc for the OS [02:45] monkey1: maybe there are different hardware versions? [02:46] tomreyn: http://www.ecs.com.tw/m/Product/Product_Spec.aspx?TypeID=145&LanID=0&DetailID=1685 [02:46] these are different specifications http://one.laptop.org/about/specs [02:47] tomreyn: the specs are on the link, but they have them with ubuntu instead of 10 [02:47] monkey1: i thought yuo had an OLPC? what is EF20EA? [02:48] tomreyn: my bad, said olpc as my understanding takes that for the name of the "program" [02:48] EF20EA is the laptop's model [02:49] i see [02:50] * the2048 thinks [02:50] what [02:50] monkey1: okay so 2 GB RAM, and a cherry trail (ATOM X series) CPU [02:51] however, some of the 2 GB RAM are used for graphics memory, so its actually less [02:51] tomreyn: so back at my Q, if the scrip i'm looking is called registro.py i should issue 'grep -rF registro /etc' ? [02:51] grep -rF 'registro.py' /etc [02:52] ok [02:52] ah, add sudo [02:52] and about ubuntu, yes, i think this system can run a more light-weight ubuntu 18.04 desktop, such as lubuntu [02:53] tomreyn: regarding the specs, is not that bad for education i guess... sadly i think they could have done better with a lighter OS in this case [02:55] tomreyn: it did it! thanks! in just 1 sec. I should put some more time mastering the cli :) [02:57] !terminal | monkey1 [02:57] monkey1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:57] indeed ;) [02:59] tomreyn: now to digg on why it launches it almost 20 times at session start [02:59] don't spend too much time on this, better focus on your next ubuntu installation [03:30] tomreyn: i'll surely spent more time with my ubuntu machine! as soon as i disable this anoying script [03:34] Lots of people are leaving and joining [03:35] what's the proper shebang to start a script in ubuntu? [03:35] Depends on your default shell [03:35] learningc, If you are wanting a shell script then #!/bin/sh but if you are wanting a bash script then #!/bin/bash [03:36] That's that then [03:36] Any ideas how to set autoraise on mouse focus? On a pristine 18.04 installation. [03:37] There seems to be no way to set a setting for autoraise. [03:38] Focus follows mouse with autoraise is what my friend would like to configure. I am trying to help. [03:38] rwp, what's the difference between aforementioned shell script and bash script? I thought bash is a shell? [03:41] learningc, /bin/sh is a POSIX standard portable shell. Portable across operating systems and versions. /bin/bash is version specific and has many extensions such as arrays. [03:43] learningc: The she-bang tells what interpreter to use .. there are many "shells". [03:43] It is also used to specify python and perl and ruby scripts too. [04:14] tomreyn You still here?

[09:48] ok lxdm is working , ugly but working :D [09:50] qwebirc77105: we dont reccomend compiling kernels, use !mainline instead [09:50] !mainline | qwebirc77105 [09:50] qwebirc77105: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel.
