[00:02] blackflow because it says it will in the man page [00:02] is it bad to forcequit muon package manager if clicking 'cancel' doesn't get it to cancel? [00:02] i had removed the brave repository-thingy(?) discussed above thorugh a menu settings option [00:07] hello [00:07] hola [00:17] hi all, anyone have partition advice for a fresh dual boot win7/ubuntu? the drive is 500 gb on a laptop. installing win7 first but i want to partition with gparted before install [00:18] GuestAgain: install Windows. Use the entire drive. Then you'll have the option to resize it during the Ubuntu install [00:18] installing windows first ofc [00:18] leftyfb: but why repartition i'm able to partition with grub or gparted on livefs [00:19] erm adjust partitions that is, when i can make them in the first place [00:19] GuestAgain, what advice are you seeking? [00:25] CyberManifest: i'm seeking advice on pre-partitioning a 500g hard disk for a laptop to dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu 18lts, both fresh installs. i think most of the space on the drive should be shared between the 2, but curious what others have experienced as i don't want to have to adjust partitions later. [00:26] GuestAgain: install Windows. Use the entire drive. Then you'll have the option to resize it during the Ubuntu install. It's pretty simple. Why complicate it? [00:26] GuestAgain, I read that before; you'll have to be more specific in "seeking advice on pre-partitioning" what "advice" are you seeking? I have Linux Mint Dual booted between Windows 10 [00:26] fwiw it's a sony vaio i5 some years old but still planned for various usage including a lot of audio and video production which i will mostly use external drives to store assets but likely need to store a number of assets like audio and video files on native hdd [00:27] leftyfb: ok i'll try your method [00:27] CyberManifest: thank you for your responses [00:28] i assumed it would be good to create a partition to access between the filesystems... [00:29] GuestAgain: you can do that during the ubuntu install as well [00:29] GuestAgain: or using the live cd/usb after [00:29] i had thought windows 100g ubuntu 100g then 300g swap [00:29] i have both doze and buntu live fs [00:29] GuestAgain, "swap" is not the same thing as "share partition" [00:29] no problem to apportion with either [00:30] CyberManifest: yes you're right there i know [00:30] swap should typically be no more than double your RAM [00:30] dunno who i'm talking with [00:30] but yes i'm aware swap is a unix space [00:30] GuestAgain: if you have 16G of memory or more, don't bother with swap [00:31] leftyfb, what about hibernation mode? [00:31] i should have been more specific i didn't mean to offend lol [00:31] swap is generally good idea for that [00:31] CyberManifest: I guess, if you want that sort of thing. I have NEVER seen that used on a regular basis and not cause problems [00:31] anyway so it's NOT a good idea to partition the fs before install of windows 7??? i had read it was... [00:32] leftyfb, works fine here on Dell Laptop [00:32] GuestAgain: it doesn't mattermuch. But it's a lot simpler to just do it during the ubuntu install once Windows is all done and happy [00:32] GuestAgain, I did, because I wanted a specific partition scheme [00:33] GuestAgain, but I used the installer to do it; I think the installer will overwrite most of what you do anyways unless you are careful and specific for it not to [00:38] it's pretty easy for the installer to not overwrite your partition tables iirc [00:38] i kinda don't want to do this twice so i was asking advice beforehand [00:40] honestly my biggest concern is filesystem provisioning. what is the average install size of ubuntu 18lts? [00:41] you'll be fine with 100G [00:41] i have some idea of what i need for software on the 'doze part, but if i'm not installing much 3rd party softs what would you all partition for a linux space? [00:42] leftyfb: ok i think i'll take your advice on the 100g being ok, i think so also. any advice on shared partitions? [00:42] GuestAgain: it depends on your needs and use. Split it 50/50 and change it later if you need to [00:42] GuestAgain: no. It depends on your personal needs [00:43] i was going to make it 100g ubunut/ 150g windows/ 250g shared space seems like where i am leaning as i have more windows 64 apps than 100g will probably allow with updates to the os etc [00:44] my personal needs with linux are few on this pc, i am more of a bsd guy [00:44] have a bsd server already [00:46] ubutnut/ubuntu* sorry typo girlfriend came home i was typing too fast i think [00:54] anyway so ubuntu 18 100gb // windows 7 150gb // shared space 250gb does that sound stupid? [00:54] i'd rather not repartition anything here. [00:54] advice appreciated. insults also ok :) [00:55] going to gparted now, fsck it [00:57] Hey all. Looking for a simple way to declaratively manage my apt / dpkg installs. Declarative as in, update some config file with the list of apt and local .deb packages I want to be installed on my system, and run a command which takes care of the necessary install/remove actions. Is there a tool that would let me do this without too much hassle? [01:02] Lisanna1: it may be a little more than you want (a bash script might be more appropriate if that's the entire aim), but ansible comes to mind [01:04] tds: Okay, I'll check it out. Yeah it's probably a bit more than I need but as long as it doesn't take too long to setup and can give me something approaching declarative debian package management, I'll be happy [01:05] https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/apt_module.html - that's probably the module you'd want, and it includes some example as well [01:06] ah well moving on with a fat32 shared partition [01:07] GuestAgain: use NTFS [01:07] Morning [01:07] GuestAgain: formatted by Windows after you create the partition during the ubuntu install [01:07] OK cool. The apt module can do both regular apt packages and local deb packages. Looks like that will work, I'll give it a shot. Thanks :) [01:08] ntfs can be accessed by ubuntu? [01:08] GuestAgain: yes. And it's got better performance than fat32 [01:08] ok tyvm leftyfb [01:08] GuestAgain Yes it can, unless it's been used for hiberbation by Windows, in which case you'll need to run ntfsfix before Linux can access it [01:09] i'm aware of ntfs > fat32 but didn't know linux accessed these partitions [01:09] ste [01:09] GuestAgain Linux can access everything except Apple's brand new file system [01:09] stevendale: thank you yes i remember having to use the ntfsfix command previously on another system [01:10] oh how fun, thanks apple [01:10] but a non-sarcastic thank you to steve [01:24] I want to clarify before i do this. If i have gotten all the inode numbers of the files with multiply-claimed blocks from e2fsck... i can cancel and blow them away and then i will be fine right? Or do i need to run e2fsck again after... [01:32] fwiw partitioning from gparted failed, had to use windows installer to re-partition as was previously suggested here. /me bows [01:33] that being said i'm still partitioning for a shared ntfs space between the filesystems [01:36] GuestAgain: I would put your shared partition at the end [01:36] GuestAgain: also, if gparted failed, it was because the windows ntfs partition was dirty. You'll need to run chkdsk /f and reboot TWICE from within windows [01:38] leftyfb: i put it at the end, idunno why i said between, more or less metaphorically [01:38] also i just wiped the partition table and used the doze installer to part it [01:38] still going with similar scheme [01:39] leftyfb: thank you for all the advice i do appreciate it, i think i have seen you here or there once before. [01:40] i just installed linux on a friends laptop. [01:41] a compaq presario m2000 [01:42] airsoftmodels: did you have a support question? [01:43] no. just saying [01:58] Cold and raining in May, such strange weather [01:58] Sorry wrong channel === sn is now known as Guest36615 === _Random_ is now known as Mystified === Mystified is now known as _Random_ [02:51] hello? [02:52] im using xubuntu because its lightweight. if i install a theme could that potentially require more resources from the computer? [02:56] hello? [02:58] hello [02:58] is anyone here? [02:58] can anyone see my texts? i cant figure out freenode [02:59] can someone please say yes if they can see my texts [02:59] I can see what you're saying. [02:59] thanks. i was in other room and its just silence. i never even know if im logged in with freenode. its such a bizare system [03:00] I don't want to answer with certainty, but generally a theme does things like "make the titlebars look different", or change the desktop wallpaper. So my belief would be that you're fine installing new themes and they won't have any resource impact on your computer aside from some small bit of storage. [03:00] i need help with the new lubuntu but its stone dead over there [03:00] Oh, that was to bigDaddee00. What's your issue, helpmewiththis? [03:01] i am not computer literate. but tried lubuntu. it seemed very fast s odecided to use on old 1gb ram laptop. but i cant do much. i cant add my app to my taskbar as a shortcut for a start. they just wont go there. tried left mouse, right mouse. nothing works [03:02] lubuntu 19 the new one [03:02] I'm afraid I can't help with that. I'm not a desktop Linux guy. Perhaps someone else can pick up your issue. [03:03] and also the gui software center freezes, unusable. [03:03] but there is letrally almost no help with it online. lubuntu is a great idea.. but there is noone to help [03:04] i just want something fast to use on a very old crappy laptop. keep jumping between os's. cant find one i can actually use. the ones i can use are too slow. [03:08] this is why most people use windows.

The game is crashing every now and then, and there is a minor map bug [07:53] I wanted to fix that, so I started fiddling with wine. I had staging 4.7, which I wanted to downgrade since the map bug appeared after some update of wine [07:54] So I installed and uninstalled wine-staging a (too) many times and now, when I install wine-staging [07:54] and then in the console after type wine --version [07:54] It tells me I dont have it installed [07:55] Any tips? [07:56] Brali: try reinstalling it with 'sudo apt install --reinstall packagename' [07:57] Nope, still getting wine not found [07:57] is this wine from the ppa? [07:58] I think so, however Im not sure what the ppa really means. I followed these instructions first time I installed it: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu [07:59] I think you set up a ppa to winehq there, or? [07:59] But now I can simply run the last command 'sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging' [07:59] but=and * [08:00] However wine-staging wont be found by the terminal. [08:00] Also its missing files in the folder /opt/wine-staging [08:02] yes, those are third-oarty packages. you need to get support from the wine people for those, look at their site for their irc channel [08:02] hello ubuntu friend , after an upgrade i get this warning message https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Cdd67NwXP/ [08:03] I guess I also should mention that I did 'rm -r /opt/wine-staging' at one point after uninstalling the staging since it wouldnt be removed by autoremove.. [08:03] I see [08:03] I'll have a loog [08:03] look === Quetzal2 is now known as Guest49044 [08:19] anyone can help me with these warning messages? [08:24] bryanroderyck: what warning messages [08:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2Cdd67NwXP/ [08:26] bryanroderyck: what did you do that caused this [08:26] bryanroderyck: you appear to be trying to force a package upgrade [08:27] i have some internal messsage on python3 but now when upgrade i still have warning msg [08:27] how did you upgrade [08:27] upgrade from what to what [08:28] i upgrade threw the terminal from 16.04 to 18 [08:28] so you did a whole OS upgrade [08:28] exactly how did you upgrade [08:29] yes it is removing some files now it should be over in few moment i guess [08:29] "how" did you upgrade [08:30] bryanroderyck: you appear to be using python packages that are not part of ubuntu [08:30] i upgrade with acommand in the terminal [08:30] bryanroderyck: it appears you have versions of python that are not part of ubuntu [08:30] how can i remove them? [08:31] which is probably why you're getting problems with the ugprade process trying to overwrite them [08:31] wihtout causing any damage to the system [08:31] I'd like to understand how the packages got on there to understand how to resolve it [08:32] i use a ppa from jonathonf that cause this mess [08:33] !ppapurge [08:33] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [08:33] bryanroderyck: I suspect your upgrade will fail and end up broken as python is pretty core to a lot of ubuntu [08:34] the upgrade is finish just need restart now [08:34] I suspect it may not work properly [08:34] I could be wrong, [08:35] i restart and im back [08:35] wait [08:40] ikonia [08:40] bryanroderyck [08:42] i still have error mesage on the topbar after pugrade and reset [08:45] you should really work on traiuning yourself to provide more details.. when asked how you upgraded, don't say "i ran a command on the terminal", say which command you ran in the terminal. when reporting that there is an error message displayed on the top panel of your desktop, don't day just that you "have error mesage on the topbar", but say what this error message says, what it is about, in which context it showed up, post a screenshot etc. [08:46] bryanroderyck: ^ [08:46] this would trmendously help the volunteers here help you. [08:47] i run this command do-release-upgrade [08:47] tomreyn: how does a volunteer earn?

[09:16] After having installed/uninstalled wine-staging I now cannot get it installed again [09:17] if I run 'sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging' it installs 11 mb, whilst it should be like 400. and when I run 'wine --version' its not found [09:18] ducasse: Hi! Could you help me with a kernel module question? [09:18] if I run 'winecfg' it tells me launcher is missing [09:18] Brali: as i told you, we don't support third-party packages [09:18] Allright, I didnt understand that part. [09:18] Sorry. [09:19] him-cesjf: it seems it's not a part of that package, no [09:19] ducasse: Yeah. Any idea how I can build it or read more on it if it compatible? I require it for powertop [09:19] Brali: make sure you reinstall *all* the wine packages fully if you manually deleted files, though [09:19] Powertop is not running well [09:21] him-cesjf: to build it you need to get hold of the source, but that's outside what we support, sorry [09:22] him-cesjf: you should be able to get the source from the repos, though, if it's in the regular kernel tree [09:23] ducasse: Yeah. I will try asking #ubuntu-kernel again [09:24] ducasse: that very last thing you wrote gave me an idea [09:24] thanks. I got it now! [09:24] Brali: great! [09:24] Or not... ;_; [09:24] :p [09:25] him-cesjf: you can also try ##linux [09:25] Sure, thanks ducasse [09:55] on ubuntu 16:04:06 i can not see any 16:9 display option for i915 [09:56] how to get more 16:9 options ? [10:01] samba35: what resolutions does it show? what is the native resolution of your monitor? [10:02] this is my monitor https://www.lg.com/in/support/support-product/lg-W1942T-PF [10:03] but 1440*900 and 16:10 [10:04] aiui that depends on the edid your monitor sends, and if it can be read correctly [10:07] samba35: and what is the resolution you'd like to apply there? what is wrong with using the native resolution? [10:08] 1024 by 768 with 16:9 [10:08] 1024x768 is not a 16:9 resolution - it's 4:3 [10:09] ic [10:09] ok then thanks [10:09] samba35: again, what is wrong with the monitor's native resolution? are the UI elements too small? [10:10] the probllem is on both side 1 inch screen is blank [10:10] not full screen [10:10] samba35: i see - what resolution is currently set in your system (ubuntu)? [10:10] yes [10:11] ... that was not a yes/no question [10:12] i mean system has configure the current configu by default [10:12] samba35: blank space around the image may also be due to your monitor settings, though (independently from your OS settings) [10:12] check if there is anything on your monitor to change the ratio/zoom/stretching/whatever [10:12] ok [10:13] let me change monitor setting then [10:13] also, check if the monitor's native resolution (1440x900) is actually available in ubuntu [10:20] ok thanks [10:20] it seems problem is fix [10:20] thanks again [10:29] Ubuntu question: is there any way I can see packages that I have changed the last 24 hours or so? [10:30] hell [10:31] Brali: check the apt logs in /var/log/apt [10:31] Brali: Ubuntu answer: if, by "changed", you refer to packages installed or removed, those are listed in /var/log/apt/*.log [10:33] Thanks guys [10:47] Hi folks [10:58] can I restore ubuntu to the point of a fresh install? Or do I have to install it fresh? [10:58] hi guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu along windows 8 but I can't get the damn install media to boot in UEFI [11:00] I'm now on ubuntu, but whenever I boot my pc it defaults to win 8 instead of giving me a bootloader [11:00] can anyone help troubleshoot? [11:01] Michael___: what did you use to create the install media? [11:01] Brali: no, there's no 'reset to factory defaults' option [11:01] I downloaded the dekstop 19.something.something iso file and burned it to dvd [11:01] with the built in win 8 disk burner [11:02] before that I tried making usb media with rufus, gtp fat32 [11:03] Michael___: I don't see why the USB media wouldn't have worked in that case if you explicitly gave it options compatible with UEFI. Have you gone into your BIOS settings to check whether Legacy mode is turned off in favour of UEFI? [11:03] I have disabled all of the fast startup technologies from win8 and intel, I've disabled CSM (so no legacy) [11:04] One thing that might complicate things is I'm on a shitty prefab computer which has a custom American megatrends Aptio version [11:04] But idk, it should just work [11:04] Michael___: what do you do to try and boot off the installer then? [11:04] I just stick in the installation media and it boots from that (I set the boot order) [11:04] but whenever I run the command to see if I'm running in efi mode it returns false [11:05] which command do you use there? [11:05] [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" [11:05] hmm yes this looks fine [11:06] is there a key to override the boot order you can press during early boot? [11:06] like, without having to enter the 'bis' configuration first? [11:06] *'bios' [11:06] Usually, I can press a key like F12 or F10 to enter a fast-boot menu [11:06] if I press f12, it beeps, then f8, I get this "select boot device" prompt [11:06] but sometimes it loads directly into pxe [11:07] so you pxe boot normally? [11:07] nope, didn't even know that was a thing until today [11:07] yesterday [11:07] if it helps, I can post my exact mobo model and a partition table of my disk [11:08] try to get to the boot menu again and see which options you have. maybe there is "(u)efi cd-rom" or "(u)efi dvd" or just "ubuntu" listed there [11:08] that's the thing, nothing gets prefixed with uefi [11:08] what ubuntu release is l9.something.something.iso [11:09] 19.04 [11:09] trhe iso is called l9 ? [11:09] ahh it's a 19 not an L9 [11:09] odd font [11:09] yeah [11:10] so anyway, that select boot device menu, it only shows the media once. I have seen screenshots where it shows the usb, then below it (u)efi usb, but mine only shows usb [11:10] but I'm 99.999% certain those screenshots come from a different motherboard setup [11:11] Michael___: tell us the exact name of the iso file you downloaded, try writing the usb again with it, this time using balena etcher (http://etcher.io) [11:12] mobo: mp ms7797 boot-repair info: https://pastebin.com/ANjJB6vv [11:12] ubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso [11:13] (I can't actually run the boot repair, since it complains about not being in uefi mode) [11:20] maybe my bios just isn't able to boot into any media in efi mode? [11:20] disable efi in bios ? [11:21] yeah, maybe it's in legacy mode [11:21] yeah it's in legacy mode but my windows install is efi [11:22] Maybe depends on when you press Fn [11:22] I had this truble , especially with emmc drive. and on a dell desktop [11:22] efi had to be disabled to work [11:22] so I need to get the thing to boot from usb in efi mode rather than legacy... [11:22] seems counterintuitive but I think I'll try disabling efi completely [11:22] not sure how that will make it dualboot [11:23] it won't [11:23] as tomreyn said , it will not [11:23] Michael___: Disable Legacy Boot, then you can fix [11:23] How about set security boot off? [11:24] there's no option in the bios for secure boot [11:25] it's prefabbed so it's probably locked down pretty much [11:25] if first OS is installed efi mode , I am assuming windows, you cannot dual boot unless ubuntu installs with efi, I believe [11:25] ^ yeah [11:25] so that's why it's a problem that I can't get my computer to boot from a live media in efi mode [11:25] so I disabled all of the legacy support/csm/whatever you want to call it [11:26] vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg echo menuentry "other os" {insmod ntfs set root=(hd0,1) chainloader +1 [11:26] Michael___, if you disable efi now windows probabli will not boot [11:26] edit grub.cfg [11:27] will editing the grub.cfg make the computer use the grub menu instead of booting directly to win8 on startup? [11:28] as a reminder: Michael___: [..] try writing the usb again [..], this time using balena etcher (http://etcher.io) [11:28] using (hd0,0) or (hd0,1) [11:28] because it says it's installed grub but it just completely skips grub on startup [11:28] Michael___: laptop or desktop with win10 [11:28] ill try making a new media [11:28] desktop pc with windows 8.1 [11:29] mmm [11:29] Michael___: Try within Ubuntu Live for making a new USB ISO [11:29] if it's any help, the dvd installation media prompted me to make a bios boot partition [11:31] that's be expected if the installer ran in bios mode [11:31] (and detected gpt partition tables) [11:32] Michael___: make sure your win is properly shout down like shift + shout down that will properly shout down win [11:32] Hello I am struggling to get rid of a couple of pixel overlap on my displays. Would anyone here have any idea how I would fix this issue? [11:32] when using etcher, and selecting ubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso it gives me an error [11:32] "It looks like this is not a bootable image" [11:33] "...does not appear to contain a partition table ..." [11:33] if you had used of the archlinux ,you maybe known how do the grub working [11:33] hm when continuing anyway it just says the writer process ended unexpectedly [11:34] no error code [11:34] this is my first experience with linux [11:34] you'll get the hang of it ") [11:34] must be gpt if windows is using efi [11:34] really the only reason I'm installing linux is because I couldn't get CDL and openCL to work with my C programs in windows [11:34] Michael___: this suggests your downloaded iso image is incomplete / damaged [11:35] I'll try to redownload [11:35] download via bittorrent if that's an option [11:35] since it ensures the download is complete [11:35] can you tell what the exact file size of the iso you had previously is? [11:35] exact as in single bytes [11:36] c program will working in win by mingw [11:36] oh well no surprise it's 0 bytes [11:36] yeah but it doesn't find the headers [11:36] even manually set the PATH [11:36] you can install the mingw program in windows [11:36] mch_: we don't usually do windows support on this channel [11:37] Paddy_NI, you mean overscan? [11:37] hi guys how is everyone? [11:37] coz_, No it's not really overscan [11:37] sorry damn phone again [11:37] Michael___: use dd mode in etcher rather than ISO mode and see if that will boot in EFI [11:38] @jeremy where can I set that? [11:39] i am chinese ,i use linux just for growing up my terrible endlish [11:40] Michael___: Sorry, that is an option in Rufus [11:40] yeah I set that option back when I made it in rufus though [11:40] still booted in legacy mode [11:40] Michael___: Do you have a USB disk/thumbdrive? [11:40] usk thumbdrive [11:41]
