[00:00] tomreyn, https://termbin.com/hf4u [00:01] qwebirc78446: you could also see whether you run into the same issues when booting from a 18.04 live / installer iso [00:01] qwebirc78446: if you don't, then maybe it's a hint that you should do a fresh ubuntu 18.04.2 installation [00:02] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [00:03] why br servers bandwidth are too low for updates? [00:03] tomreyn, Mai 03 01:58:20 tatjana kernel: snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D2: Unable to sync register 0x2f0d00. -11 [00:04] lwlvl: yes you also had this last time, another line to investigate, i agree [00:04] lwlvl: also your thermald is not configured [00:06] Nomodeset was already in the boot params. I'll have to [00:06] Do something else [00:06] tomreyn, yes, but I don't suspect thermald to freeze the wakeup process... [00:07] lwlvl: "Mai 03 01:58:20" is your first wakeup, 2.5 minutes after suspend was reached, right? [00:07] yes [00:08] and restoring the desktop took ~ 30s from there [00:09] Hmm [00:09] sounds fine to me, based on (only) those logs [00:09] tomreyn, taking 2.5min to wake up? [00:09] that worse is not even windows 10! [00:10] qwebirc78446: i'm afraid i have no better suggestions than the generic ones i provided. maybe another one you could try is to sudo apt purge *nvidia* and see if the system boots properly with nouveau, the open source graphics driver. this would at least enable you to investigate more then. [00:11] lwlvl: i'm saying it seem to have taken linux and your desktop 30s to wake up, after a 2.5 minute suspend. [00:11] lwlvl: if you suspended shorter than that, your firmware will be to blame. [00:13] tomreyn, it's more like that: I suspended the hardware, opened the lid after let's say 10 seconds (when the led began to flash smoothly) and the led became bright again....but nothing happened for 2.5 minutes....after that time the login-screen came up and I was able to login. [00:15] Well I did purge *nvida* [00:16] Good news: it boots to a gui [00:16] Bad news: I try to log in and it says " failed to start session" [00:20] lwlvl, qwebirc78446: i just got disconnected, may have missed some of what you wrote. here's what i wrote last: [00:20] lwlvl: you lack a "critical" mainboard firmware update https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/YOGA-SERIES/YOGA-330-11IGM/81A6/downloads/DS502882 - BIOS 6QCN45WW 11/22/2018 is what you have now [00:20] I did sudo apt purge *nvidia* [00:20] Good news: boots to gui [00:21] tomreyn, damn....I suspected it....but I didn't update it since it's a windows-executable.... [00:21] qwebirc78446: you could try creating a new user account (sudo adduser --gecos '' testuser; sudo adduser testuser sudo) and see if you can login to that. [00:21] tomreyn, thank you for investigation.... [00:22] tomreyn, so I need to boot to windows somehow.... [00:24] Still got failed to start session [00:25] qwebirc78446: see if you have a directory like /etc/X11 [00:25] ls -la /etc/X11 [00:26] and some file or directory which starts with "xorg" in there [00:26] lwlvl: the folks in ##windows may be happy to point you to https://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ [00:27] Yep, found them [00:27] qwebirc78446: so those need to be renamed / moved out of the way. [00:27] Ok. [00:28] ls -alR /etc/X11/xorg* | nc termbin.com 9999 [00:28] ^ just if you like [00:32] I got 99xo out of that command [00:33] I've renamed the xorg files btw [00:36] hello. is there a way to install pipelight on 18.04 (bionic) ? [00:37] the "official" package seems broken: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/pipelight [00:39] tomreyn, thank you! [00:40] lwlvl: you're welcome. [00:41] qwebirc78446: feel free to mention the nickname of whom you're addressing to ensure they get notified about your reply. [00:42] qwebirc78446: "99xo" sounds wrongm but maybe it came out wrong... [00:42] qwebirc78446: either way, just reboot once more after removing these files and having uninstalled allthe *nvidia* packages [00:43] tomreyn why does it sound wrong? Fwiw I ran the command after renaming the xorg files [00:44] qwebirc78446: it's just not the name i expected to see there, but it should not cause any issues, normally there are no files there at all. [00:44] qwebirc78446: oh i just realize i got you wrong there [00:45] you were pointing me to https://termbin.com/99xo [00:46] qwebirc78446: okay, this looks fine. try rebooting (if you haven't already) and logging in as your normal or the new user now. [00:48] qwebirc78446: if you later want to try installing nvidia drivers again, you can use the "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" command on a tty / terminal or the "software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4" command on a graphical desktop [00:57] faLUCE: there is no such package to begin with https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pipelight [00:57] tomreyn: I know [00:57] tomreyn: that's what I said [00:58] faLUCE: you said 'the "official" package seems broken', pointing to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/pipelight [00:58] this implies there is a package, and that is it broken. [01:02] faLUCE: most people who try to install pipelight actually try to make widevine work on a web browser. firefox and chrome (the proprietary one, not supported here) provide support for it. [01:03] just install the web browser and access a website which provides the DRM'd content. [01:06] tomreyn, okay...bios-upgrade didn't do the trick. I'll disable the suspend-functions in logind.conf for the first so the girl can work with the device...I need to figure out later with the notebook of my girlfriend (which is exactly the same) what's going wrong.... [01:09] tomreyn was ago for a bit. If I just reboot after renaming the city.conf files, it'll automatically sort itself out? [01:09] Afk* [01:09] Xorg* [01:11] lwlvl: a pity, good luck! [01:11] qwebirc78446: that's my hope, yes [01:13] qwebirc78446: those xorg configuration files contain instrucxtions used by the proprietary nvidia driver ("nvidia"). you now use the open source one ("nouveau"), which means these configurations can only get in the way. normally, with open source drivers, the X server will automatically figure out how to configure itself, so no configuration files should be needed. [01:14] qwebirc78446: i have to wrap it up here, need sleep. good luck, and feel free to summarize the issue and what as done so far, and what's not working yet, here if you'd like someone else to take over, === Eickmeyer[m] is now known as eickmeyer[m] === eickmeyer[m] is now known as Eickmeyer[m] === murthy is now known as murthy_ === murthy_ is now known as murthy [02:41] Hello.

[11:52] i'm adding an SSD in the optical drive bay of a laptop that already has an HDD with Windows 10 on it. ubuntu asks me where to install the boot loader. should i choose sda1 (the EFI partition)? [11:52] (i've already created sdb1 for swap and sdb2 for /) === qwebirc34124 is now known as Catzzye [11:57] ryouba, if the /efi/boot is 512mb or larger then yes [12:00] BluesKaj: wow, that's how much ubuntu puts in there? o_O [12:00] ryouba: what does Windows make it? 200mb [12:00] BluesKaj: unfortunately it's only 272MB of which 70MB are already in use. under these circumstances, should i create another EFI partition on sdb? [12:00] jeremy31: 272MB [12:01] ryouba: It can be done but some windows updates will remove grub [12:01] o_O [12:01] even the EFI grub file? [12:02] will that company ever stop their arrogance? [12:02] ryouba: Yes from some of the forum issues [12:02] jeremy31, really ? i wasn't aware of that [12:02] jeremy31: so better a second EFI partition on the SSD then? will the laptop pick up on that? [12:03] https://askubuntu.com/questions/745737/windows-10-randomly-kicks-out-my-grub-how-do-i-reinstall-it [12:04] Catzzye: hi [12:04] ryouba: I think you can put an EFI system partition on sdb and use the BIOS boot menu to boot to it [12:04] jeremy31: according to a comment on that answer it seems that windows only changed the UEFI boot order === SysGh_st is now known as SysGhost [12:04] but i guess a second EFI partition might make more sense ... also if someone ever gets the idea of changing drives in the laptop [12:04] thank you! [12:05] ryouba: yeah, good idea [12:06] ryouba: for the bootloader option just choose the drive itself not the partition,e.g /dev/sdb (after making an efi partition in the partitioning scheme of the installer) [12:07] It would be easy to fix if it did just change the boot order. I haven't booted Win 10 since December and I made some changes so it won't boot Win at all now [12:08] EriC^^: damn, i just chose the partition ... hopefully going to be able to fix that after the installation runs through - or should i just abort and redo right now? [12:09] ryouba: i dont think it'll really matter for uefi [12:09] EriC^^: okay! [12:09] usually grub-install for uefi doesnt even take an argument [12:09] what's eml files reader except thunderbird?

[12:30] all of them, i can't access the directory even [12:30] well, firefox can't open files that it has no permission to open. why your /usr/share/doc isn't world readable is beyond me, though. [12:30] "file:///usr/share/doc/" [12:30] it *is* world readable [12:30] if you want to browse it with firefox then the obvious solution would be just chmod -R a+rX /usr/share/doc if it's actually not reable on your machine for some reason [12:31] again, it is world readable [12:31] i can ls it just fine as a user [12:31] opening file:///usr/share/doc/ on my machine works fine [12:31] varjag: can you browser your home directory? does file:///home/{username} work? [12:32] yes [12:32] s/browser/browse/ [12:32] varjag: where does it stop working? can you step up to /home? and /? and /usr? [12:33] ryouba: what pc model is it? [12:33] ayekat: i can list /, but not descend anywhere from there [12:34] '/snap/firefox/203/firefox-bin' [12:34] ugh what is this snap thing [12:34] is that some kind of sandbox [12:35] ah, snaps... [12:35] * ayekat slowly backs out of this [12:35] … [12:36] what is this and how do i get rid of it [12:36] I'm just someone who uses Ubuntu on a headless VM because $work, so I'm not much of a help with desktop-related issues, but... it seems *very* silly that ubuntu is in a place now where people can *accidentally* end up with snaps [12:37] is that some hypervisor snapshotting whatever [12:37] it's some sort of alternative package management, I believe [12:37] oh. [12:38] for the times when apt is too boring= [12:38] good god thunderbird is also under that [12:38] *facepalm* [12:39] varjag: how did you install firefox, though? is it just the preinstalled one? [12:39] i got 16.04 pre-installed from dell [12:39] installed firefox via the "store", which i thought is some sort of fancy aptitude [12:39] and upgraded to bionic [12:40] hmm... maybe that "store" now defaults to installing snaps [12:41] guys, focus on support [12:41] for discussions use #ubuntu-discuss [12:41] well any ideas with my issue, lotuspsychje [12:42] varjag: if you ask in the channel and patient, volunteers might help think along with you [12:42] ok [12:42] Hey guys, can I make a mirror of my ubuntu and use it to another machine? [12:43] !crosspost | zzlatev [12:43] zzlatev: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [12:43] sorry! [12:43] varjag: anyway, I would probably just get rid of the firefox snap package thingy, and use apt to install it normally [12:44] ayekat: thanks, looking into uninstalling the whole snapd thing [12:44] yeah, probably saner in the long term ^^ [12:44] varjag, and maybe you want also to disable gnome-software-plugin-snap [12:45] varjag: some parts of the system now have default snaps, so be carefull not the bork your system [12:49] just did an update and got an error msg in the output that worries me -- "no matching swap available" that seems to be associated with initram process -- isn't that boot? here's a pic i took of the term, do i have anything to worry about upon restart? https://imagebin.ca/v/4fojmsU8a5sM [12:50] EriC^^: it's an older HP G6 ... 250 or 255 or so. nevermind. i just used efibootmgr to put the ubuntu UEFI manager as the default one. [12:50] ryouba: that rarely works [12:50] Display orientantion is flipped. however, there is no orientantion setting in the kernel it boots up in. Do I just got to use the old kernal till the new one comes out? [12:50] EriC^^: in this case it did. but perhaps because i had also previously disabled secure boot? [12:50] on rebooting it'll put windows back, i found that disabling the entry usually works [12:51] via sudo efibootmgr -A -b [12:51] efibootmgr -a -b enables it if you later want to set it back [12:52] Hi All, is there a way to encrypt home drive in ubuntu 18.04 after installing. I've formatted my drive (/home and couple of other partitions using ext4) but want to encrypt this for security purposes [12:52] ryouba: nope, even with secureboot disabled its hardwired to boot /efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi i guess anyways it's all good, less hassle for you [12:52] ok dell has canonical-livepatch enabled, that works via snaps.. [12:52] this is getting tricky [12:52] cyberbob: yeah create a user using adduser with the home encrypt options, "man adduser" [12:53] plan b, i uninstall everything i can from snaps and reinstall via apt [12:53] as jesus meant it [12:53] thanks for the tips folks === qwebirc8036 is now known as Catzzye2 [13:06] why would ubuntu fail to install grub on this setup ? https://i.imgur.com/m0f0oeZ.png [13:19] ah interesting, so i looked again and it was asking did i want to install grub to MBR, read the page wrong, did No, installed to HDD, continues [13:24] and doesnt boot [13:29] cmm11: isnt a ext4 non lvm required by default for grub? [13:30] i think if you want the /boot part of the encrypted disk, you need to put it inside "/" without any partition for itself and tell grub about that [13:30] "/boot is seperate and outside of LUKS so grub can be installed onto it [13:31] oh [13:31] unless i've set it up wrong [13:31] are you sure? [13:32] cmm11: can you boot a live usb to troubleshoot the install? [13:32] ah it's a logical volume so i guess it's putting it inside the encrypted volume group perhaps [13:33] yeah maybe [13:33] this is just a VM , so i'll just try again [13:33] but i think i know what's wrong [13:33] yeah [13:33] just did an update and got an error msg in the output that worries me -- "no matching swap available" that seems to be associated with initram process -- isn't that boot? here's a pic i took of the term, do i have anything to worry about upon restart? https://imagebin.ca/v/4fojmsU8a5sM [13:34] holy moly that dust [13:39] EriC^^ created a RAID1 device, and could find option to create a partition on it but no option to specify which size which is very odd, but i went into guided partition and it the raid is listed, this is how the installer is setup to do it https://i.imgur.com/5xhjFYW.png [13:41] so yeah it has seperate /boot under raid1 device 0 [13:42] that looks right cmm11 [13:42] so much easier doing it cli way ;) , i'll continue on and see if it boots [13:52] em [13:57] Why are my png images opening up in firefox when I double click them? [13:57] My default application for Photos is Image Viewer [14:00] leonardus: photos typically aren't PNG, though [14:00] right, but Firefox is only the default application for Web [14:00] may need to check what the default application for PNG images is [14:01] Hey guys, my Upgrade to 19.04 aborted with a very generic error during the step "Installing the upgrades". System is bootable and seemingly well though. I would like to check what the "Distribution Upgrade" tool would have done in the remaining steps. Does anyone know where to find it's source or the source of whatever CLI tool it runs? [14:02] PS I was running the GUI upgrade tool [14:03] raphinesse: can you recall what the error was about? === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran [14:06] lotuspsychje: Ugh, I had stashed the messages away, but now they are gone [14:07] raphinesse: can you boot succesfully to desktop right now? [14:10] lotuspsychje: yes, everything seems to work fine. The errors were during package installation. Triggers were looping during installation of `install-info` which was a dependency of `asymptote`. It complained about that, then ran a good time longer, gave an error dialog "Could not install the upgrades The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unstable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a)." [14:11] raphinesse: feel free to pastebin us what apt spits out [14:11] Obviously the cleanup step is missing so there are a lot packages to be autoremoved. I just wanted to see what the tool would have done other than that [14:11] !uptodate | raphinesse [14:11] raphinesse: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [14:13] lotuspsychje: no problems, no updates, just the leftover packages to be autoremoved [14:13] raphinesse: sounds good [14:14] raphinesse: you might also have a look at your kernel version & sources.list [14:15]
