snadgenow i understand why some articles have talked up cloud providers having to buy more hardware00:00
anselm@snadge, Not diable hyperthreading is a option00:01
snadgewhich also explains why apple has claimed the mitigation can reduce the performance of some workloads by up to 40%00:01
anselmnot a option for me00:02
snadgewell then  you remain vulnerable.. basically00:02
anselmYeah00:02
snadgethat is terrible news for intel.. and I hope AMD do well out of this00:02
anselmme too, maybe ARM will make desktop chips00:03
anselmEverything I own is Intel except for my server which is AMD00:04
llcywhat is it this vulnerability everyone talks about?00:05
llcyI recently got a microcode update on ubuntu, is that related to that?00:05
weaksauceyep00:07
anselm@llcy, check out mdsattacks.com00:07
llcyno joke, can I disable the fixes for all those security updates? I don't want to buy a new cpu, my existing cpu seems to get slower by the day...00:09
anselmYou can disable hyperthreading which really isn't a option for me00:10
anselmCan't afford to buy new chips for 3 systems00:11
llcywhat was the impact of this last patch?00:11
anselmNot sure00:11
JoeLlamaok once gnome tweak is installed, where do I find it? :/00:12
llcygnome-tweak-tool00:12
JoeLlamaright00:13
JoeLlamaand um... where is it llcy?00:13
llcy`whereis gnome-tweak-tool`, i guess :D00:14
llcyi dont have it installed. I mean, if you want to run it, it should be in your gnome menu or you should be able to run it via the terminal00:14
JoeLlamayes...00:14
JoeLlamaoh ok00:14
llcy`whereis gnome-tweak-tool` should give you the binary path00:14
JoeLlamaoic00:15
llcy /usr/lib i think00:15
JoeLlamaok00:17
anselmIts called tweaks in gnome menu00:17
JoeLlamayes :)00:18
JoeLlamathanks llcy00:18
llcythere is also `dconf-editor`, a similar app. if whatever you are trying to change isn't in gnome-tweak-tool, try dconf00:18
llcynp00:18
JoeLlamait seems to be a python file :/00:18
llcyyou did install gnome-tweak-tool though right00:18
JoeLlamaI did00:19
anselmRead up on dconf-editor you can mess up your system00:19
JoeLlamahrm00:19
JoeLlamahow do I just run the gnome tweak tool?00:19
llcyrun `gnome-tweak-tool` on the terminal00:19
llcyoh and hold up, try `gnome-tweaks`00:19
j0sephhello everyone. in light of the zombieload exploit, is there a use case in which it would be acceptable to leave hyperthreading enabled? for instance, I am currently on my single-user laptop and only really install software from trusted sources.00:20
JoeLlamaoh ok00:20
llcyand like anselm said, it is named `Tweaks` on the menu. the menu should pop-up when you press the super/windows key i think.00:21
JoeLlamanope it idn't00:22
JoeLlamaI figure it out I have google00:22
llcywait you mean you dont have the menu entry at all?00:23

gambl0rehow do you get the filename to show up like that at the bottom using vim. is it just some custom theme?00:24
anselmDarn just did a quick read on MDS it's a remote vulnerability00:24
anselmMight have to disable hyper threading00:24
teb92tebsI need the command to install software to boot a iso in grub again someone gave me the command to do so to boot iso from grub I just cant remember how to do it again I was succiful00:24
JoeLlamaI think I need gnome-shell00:25
llcyJoeLlama, are you running gnome?00:25
anselm@JoeLlama, What DE are you running00:25
JoeLlamaI don't think so llcy00:25
JoeLlamadunno00:25
llcyare you using ubuntu?00:26
JoeLlamayes, xubuntu00:26
teb92tebsyes00:26
JoeLlamaworks nice :)00:26
llcyah that's not gnome then I think00:26
llcywhy did you need gnome-tweak-tool for?00:26
JoeLlamato tell the computer what to do when the lid is closed00:26
JoeLlamawhen I close the lid the computer stops working I guess00:27
llcyin any case, i imagine gnome tweak tool wouldn't work for you even if you got it working -- since your DE wouldn't listen to the gnome conf files :p00:27
anselmI don't use XFCE but it shoulod have a option00:27
JoeLlamaoh ok00:27
JoeLlamahow do I remove the tool?00:27
llcysudo apt remove --purge gnome-tweak-tool00:28
JoeLlamaoh ok00:28
=== sins-_p is now known as sins-
JoeLlamanope00:29
llcysudo apt remove --purge gnome-tweaks00:30
llcymaybe00:30
JoeLlamacommand -purge not understood in combination with the other opinos00:30
JoeLlamaoh ok00:30
JoeLlamanope00:30
JoeLlamaah well00:30
anselm--purge00:30
llcyyou have to use double hyphens, not single, maybe thats the issue?00:31
teb92tebsI think it odd that my audio stop working for some reason I had it working before I just do not now what happen00:31
teb92tebscrying00:31
llcyin the meantime, check if there is an app called `power manager` or `power management` or something. or try running `xfce4-power-manager`00:31
llcythis seems to be the power management settings for xfce. you should have the laptop lid options there00:32
JoeLlamaoh :)00:34
JoeLlamafixed (:00:34
JoeLlamaI got a lot to learn00:34
llcyand try it. sometimes these apps don't work so well, so don't think it is working just because you set it up :p00:34
anselmhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/MDS00:34
JoeLlamaso um... is there another way to get the system to understand what to do when I close the lid>00:34
JoeLlama?00:34
llcyhave you checked out the power manager thing?00:35
JoeLlamanope! but I will... I was looking for that00:35
JoeLlamawhere is the power manager... lemme check on the menu bar00:35
JoeLlamaoh... there's something :)00:36
llcytry running `xfce4-power-manager` on the terminal if its not in the menu00:36
anselm@JoeLlama, Might be in settings??00:36
JoeLlamaheh done :)00:36
llcyi think it is its own app00:36
JoeLlamano no power manager thingy that's where it was00:36
JoeLlamano longer locks... just switches off the display00:37
llcyso is your issue fixed now?00:37
JoeLlamayes all of them for the moment llcy thanks00:38
JoeLlamaxubuntu works nicely on all of these small notebooks I have00:38
JoeLlamaa little slow at times and...00:38
JoeLlamawon't handle a large video but...00:38
JoeLlamaworks :)00:38
llcyneat. well, you are running xfce, so do your searches with that keyword instead of gnome :p00:38
JoeLlamaoh um... k00:38
llcythe budgie DE seems to run well with <1gb ram. its not bad as gnome, if you decide to switch from xfce at some point on, try ubuntu budgie first00:39
JoeLlamaI have a bunch of 1.6 GHz boxes...  small low power CPUs00:39
JoeLlamaoh ok budgie00:39
JoeLlamathis might be beyond the scope of this channel but I would like to have a Real-Time Kernel for a couple of applications...  like RTLinux or something00:44
llcywell, you just learned which DE you have been using :p you are going to have a bad time if you start messing with the kernels right away00:47
llcyi cant even find a lot of material on rtlinux when i search for it, if you stumble upon some issue you are probably going to need to solve it entirely on your own since there isn't a lot of support00:49
JoeLlamaoh no no not gunna mess with kernels atm :) heh00:50
JoeLlamanormallly, I run uCOS/II (www.micrium.com)00:50
JoeLlamaI'm good with that stuff00:50
JoeLlamawhat is DE llcy?00:50
llcydesktop environment00:50
llcygnome, budgie, xfce, kde00:51
JoeLlamaah gotcha00:51
JoeLlamayes xfce00:51
weaksauceis removing the keyboard-configuration package to try and reinstall it going to cause issues?00:57

OnkelTemHi folks. When I connect my usb headset (Logitech H390) I hear myself. Any ideas why?01:00
llcyweaksauce, what does it even do? https://packages.debian.org/jessie/keyboard-configuration01:02
weaksaucei'm not sure but kbd, keyboard-configuration, console-setup and console-setup-linux are all borked01:03
llcykeyboard conf seems to be only about creating one keyboard config file01:04
weaksauceseems like it's not important and i could probably remove and reinstall it01:04
llcykbd isnt even installed for me, so its not default or anything, you can definitely remove that one if you are also interested in that :p01:05
weaksaucethough when i looked it up using apt show it was listed as "important"01:05
llcywell as long as you place it back soon enough :p01:06
llcymaybe it will ask you for the locale values when you are installing it again01:06
weaksauceperhaps01:06
weaksaucenot too worried as i have snapshot backups01:07
llcyconsole-setup also seems fine to remove01:07
llcyi think those are like utility packages that are meant to be called when you are doing some DE upgrade or something.01:08
llcyhow did you manage to break them?01:08
weaksaucedo-release-upgrade01:08
weaksaucei guess it's probably better to just spin up a new vm and migrate the data01:09
weaksaucebut lazy01:09
llcyoooh. maybe they are borked because you dont have the conf files now :D01:09
llcyand removing and installing them will create the conf files. my working theory01:10
weaksaucemaybe. i did a remove and install and same error01:10
weaksaucemaybe i need a purge01:10
llcydo you have the `/etc/default/keyboard` file?01:10
weaksauceyeah01:11
llcyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1770482 maybe this is the bug01:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1770482 in console-setup (Ubuntu) "package keyboard-configuration 1.178ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed keyboard-configuration package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,Confirmed]01:13
weaksauceprobably01:14
llcy"Work around:  Deprecate Ubuntu" well its settled then01:15
weaksaucelol01:15
llcyyou should totally remove the package AND delete `/etc/default/keyboard`, maybe then itll see that there is no conf and ask you for input?01:17

DarkByD3sign Hi all, I'm wondering if it's a bug that Ubuntu natively doesn't support 3440x1440 when running on vmware?03:19
DarkByD3signI've also noticed this with Kali linux too.03:19

jdrtbrown: ^^03:20
guiverc2DarkByD3sign, if you get the same in Kali, it can't be a Ubuntu native bug can it;  maybe linux (kernel) related but we support Ubuntu, nor generic linux03:20

MannyLNJSo can someone please help me fix my DNS issues? 192.168.1.2 is my Ubuntu 18.04 that is supposed to be running DNSMASQ but it can't resolve anything locally. I believe my other systems are using it for DNS lookups and that is working03:44
tatertotzoperating under the "assumption" something is wrong with just simply using the dns your isp is providng you with...(and i hate assuming)04:07
stonedis it possible to share an already started gnu 'screen' session with two people?04:07
tatertotzif you went with something with less "administrative" effort for you personally...like maybe a RasPi/PiHOLE solution for example, something that wouldn't be as steep a up hill curve of administrative efforts04:08
MannyLNJtatertotz, the issue is I have read reportsthat my ISP tracks DNS requests on their servers.04:11
tatertotzstoned i once watched a power point presentation from a linux desktop in a audience of lots of people in a "stadium" ...so it's safe to assume YES it's possible04:12
MannyLNJtatertotz, and I don't want to buy more HW. My router's DHCP server is randomly hanging so I figured doing my own DNS/DHCP server would be best04:13
tatertotzah one of those users...worried about being "tracked"04:16
spiderman0101hi! i have a problem with all apps from appstore and google play store. is possible my isp to change dns of them? as i no one is responding on my apps?04:16
MannyLNJ_tatertotz, indeed. I don't trust Optimum04:17
spiderman0101or facebook have a algorithm for tracking my profiles even if it has different credentials?04:17

sandwitchthe other echo should be: echo '/dev/vdb1 /mnt/blockstorage ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 0' >> /etc/fstab06:26

Quasselhoffdamnit National Instrument doesn't provide hardware drivers for debian/ubuntu !!??07:27
Quasselhoffnow I can reinstall the whole system07:27
lotuspsychjeplease dont swear in the support channel Quasselhoff07:28
Quasselhoffsorry07:28
Quasselhoffi tried to install the rpm with alien, but it didnt work07:28
lotuspsychjeQuasselhoff: best way to get your issue solved is to ask all your details, in one line and wait until a volunteers reply07:28
lotuspsychje!details | Quasselhoff for example07:30
ubottuQuasselhoff for example: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel.07:30
Quasselhoffbasically I want to install some USB drivers for proprietary devices http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/54754/en/  but they only provide .rpm and officially support CentOS/RedHat/SUSE/Scientific Linux, but not debian ... is there any workaround I could try?07:37
tatertotzQuasselhoff read the "system requirements"....aka "supported OS" in your software vendors documentation07:38
QuasselhoffI read and debian is not listed.07:38
tatertotzQuasselhoff...sounds like you're in "unsupported" land/territory07:38
Quasselhoffwhat would you recommend next best after ubuntu? centos?07:38
tatertotzlol...that's a OP/MOD type question...the Lamborghini only beats the Ford F-250 in a race when 2 tons isn't attached to the back of both automobiles07:40

lotuspsychjeQuasselhoff: can you try tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug in your device, see what kind of errors show on ubuntu?07:41

alkisgThank you lotuspsychje, I'll try to search what is supposed to create that dir on boot; e.g. systemd or sshd08:00
lotuspsychjealkisg: could it be related to recent kernel updates?08:02
alkisgDunno, thanks, I'll have a look at that too. The server was up for 19 days, and it did have the issue, so I imagine the problem happened more than 19 days ago.08:04

cfhowlettwhy would you want to do that?12:09
AlecTaylorDon't want to lose my applications, settings, or files12:09
lotuspsychjeAlecTaylor: 17.10 is also eol, its asking for trouble12:09
cfhowlett!17.1012:09
ubottuUbuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) was the 27th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 19th, 2018. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2018-July/004483.html12:09
cfhowlettAlecTaylor/ do you have a dedicated /home partition?12:10
* AlecTaylor is upgrading everything in the background now using old-releases sources12:10
AlecTaylorcfhowlett - No, just ran an `fdisk -l`, can't find it :sadface:12:10
AlecTaylorCan repartition I suppose12:11
popey_AlecTaylor: technically it's possible, yes.12:11
popey_AlecTaylor: also, technically you could probably jump directly from 17.04 to 18.0412:11
ioriaAlecTaylor, you can use the swap12:11
cfhowlettwell since you have your backups you could always install to current partitions and avoid formattting /home.  that ***should*** retain your current settings12:11
AlecTaylorpopey_ - happy to, how12:15
AlecTaylor?12:15
cfhowlettdo a manual partition to the current partitions.  do NOT format /home12:16
popey_AlecTaylor: it's possible to manually upgrade by modifying the sources.list to change the codename to the newer release.12:18
popey_AlecTaylor: it's generally not recommended by many, because it's not something that gets tested / QA'ed12:18
popey_AlecTaylor: but it can work, but if it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces :)12:18
extorrDoes ubuntu install automagically configure the UEFI boot system or does one have to manually tweak it12:24
AlecTaylordangerous :P12:25
cfhowlettextorr/ automagic12:25
cfhowlettusually12:25
leftyfbI have to imagine the amount of effort people put into not keeping backups and just upgrading across versions is way less than just installing from scratch, reinstalling applications you know you need and restoring from backup and running a much cleaner and more efficient environment12:28
leftyfber, I mean way more12:29
extorrBackups dont cost time though, they run in the background usually. Even in large shops.12:29
torinhi chaps. quick question. i'm planning to create ubuntu installation on my ssd in an usb enclosure, so i can boot it anywhere, like old/new laptops and my macbook. is there anything i need to be careful about during installation or should it just work straight away?12:29
Fuchstorin: should work, the main question that would come to my mind is where you plant the bootloader12:31
extorrUse knoppix instead torin12:31
extorrSomething that was meant to be live and portable, unlike ubuntu12:31
leftyfbextorr: this isn't the appropriate place to be suggesting other distros12:31
FuchsI assume you'd put one on the usb disk and mark that bootable, then just tell whatever device you connect that it shall boot from USB12:31
extorrleftyfb, knoppix is unstable ubuntu with a few tweaks tho12:31
Fuchsalso I'd just be aware that journaling filesystems (which I'd recommend) are not terribly suited for storage that accidentally gets removed, so try to ensure it isn't pulled while running12:32
extorrNot like I recommended slax or any of the BSD live CDs12:32
torinFuchs: cool, i thought so. will give it a go later in the evening.12:32
Fuchsbut in general I'd expect it to work. Consider full disk encryption maybe12:32
Fuchsdepending on how sensitive that data is that you will carry around12:32
extorrtorin, do your systems boot via UEFI?12:32
leftyfbFuchs: mind you, you will receive no support for knoppix or any other distro here12:32
torinFuchs: yeah12:32
Fuchsleftyfb: wrong person12:32
leftyfbsorry torin ^12:32
torinextorr: yeah12:32
torinmost systems now do12:33
torin- legacy stuff12:33
extorrtorin, I heard that makes dual booting a bit complex12:33
torinit shouldn't be the case.12:34
leftyfbextorr: btw, Knoppix is in no way based on Ubuntu. It's based on Debian.12:34
extorrI thought it was a debian/ubuntu hybrid at least at one point12:35
torini'll see how it goes in the evening12:35
leftyfbextorr: knoppix was released 5 years before Ubuntu12:36
torinFuchs: do you know in case of uefi installation if you can specify device where bootloader is installed? i know it will be the option for mbr12:36
torinFuchs: i'm slightly worried if the installer won't automatically choose wrong device for me12:36
Fuchstorin: haven't used the ubuntu installer for a long time, but if you can't during install, you most certainly can kick grub-install from a running system later on12:38
extorrFuchs, he may be setting up dualboot over EFI tho12:39
xp7whats the problem with that extorr ?12:40
extorrIt complicates matters12:41
torinhow?12:41
EriC^torin: if you manually partition you can set the partition to efi12:41
xp7hmm is it running on another boot sector?12:41
torinEriC^: ah, and that will be picked up automatically?12:41
xp7is that why?12:41
extorrI assume it doesnt automagically configure /dev/sda1/EFI/boot/ubuntu/* and possibly required manually adding something via the BIOS12:42
EriC^torin: yeah it wants one with root fs "/" and one set as efi12:42
extorrtorin you want to run a dualboot with windows right12:42
torinEriC^: cool, and i bet i can set encryption in manual process later as well?12:42
torinextorr: not necesarilly, i want put stick anywhere i am and just boot that stick12:43
EriC^torin: using luks you meam?12:43
torinEriC^: yeah12:43
torinextorr: without touching underlaying os12:43
xp7rubber ducky12:43
extorrSo you want to make a portable ubuntu, in essence a live CD of ubuntu12:44
extorrWhich makes me ask again, why not use a real live CD instead.12:44
extorrOr why not dd a live ubuntu DVD iso to the usb stick. It will still boot, ya?12:45
torinbecause i want for example encryption & persistent changes12:45
torinis that good enough reason?12:46
pragmaticenigmatorin: You can get persistent changes, however a live environment boot drive will not be able to use full disk encryption, though I think you can encrypt the user's home directory12:46
popey_That's possible. I have a usb key which has ubuntu installed on it with encryption and persistence12:46
popey_You just need two keys, one to boot the install iso, and the other to install onto12:46
cfhowlett_1torin/ if that is your primary goal then I suggest an OS dedicated to same.  try "tails"12:47
popey_You don't need another distro, this works perfectly well on Ubuntu as is.12:47
BluesKajHowdy folks12:47
torinpopey_: that's what exactly i'm trying to do, instead of usb stick i have nvme in a usb caddy12:47
torin:)12:47
popey_nice!12:47
popey_That's even better!12:47
pragmaticenigmacfhowlett_1: tails is not an encrypted live instance, it is merely forgetful and does not support persistence by design12:47
torinand just wondering about any caveats over there during installation12:48
alkisgtorin: I'm using such an installation daily, it's no different than installing to internal hd at all12:48
cfhowlett_1pragmaticenigma/ ahh.  forgive my misinformation then.12:48
popey_torin: having done this, the only gotcha is during install, make sure the grub install gets put on the usb attached drive, not the internal drive12:48
alkisgI'm using an external ssd disk. The installer works fine too, no caveats at all.12:48
popey_torin: if you wanna feel safe, unplug the internal drive when you do the install.12:48
torinpopey_: yeah, probably will do that :)12:49
torinanyway, thanks for the answers, i will give it a go in the evening, now need to do some work :(12:49

Jackneilli've had an issue previously where i install 19.04 rebooted but only got purple screen from grub.13:27
cfhowlettwr/ the one you like best is the best.13:27
Jackneillcfhowlett, i have 8th gen intel i513:28
Jackneilldo i really need nomodeset?13:28
wrcfhowlett, no13:28
moi_hello13:28
cfhowlettJackneill/ shouldn't but for some reason your graphics aren't recognized13:28
cfhowlettmoi_/ ask you ubuntu support question13:28
cheddar82143LuckyMan: will do, thanks13:32
tomreynJackneill: hi again. if you can boot without nnomodeset and post your system log that would help. you can post the log of the current boot using "journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999", or of the previous boot using "journalctl -b -1 | nc termbin.com 9999".13:34
Jackneilltomreyn, hi again. i am currently reinstalling 19.04. i updated the bios to version 300, the freshest.13:35
tomreynah, so maybe that will already fix it.13:36
cfhowlettwe can hope!13:36
tomreynJackneill: i assume you're reinstalling because you also switched to uefi booting?13:36
Jackneilltomreyn, the usb is botted from uefi, i just dd'd the iso to usb, not sure what that uses.13:37
tomreynthat should support both boot modes13:38
calduserhi guys, I have update kernel and intel microcode for the last Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulnerability but my processor is in the table "Section 2 – No planned microcode updates" What is the solution :( ? https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-update-guidance_05132019.pdf13:38
Jackneillwell just finished install, rebooted, no grub, just purple screen.13:38
tomreyncalduser: acquire new hardware, use hardware only in safe environment.13:39
calduser@tomreyn intel microcode is closed source?13:39
tomreyncalduser: yes13:39
tomreynJackneill: :-/ can you try without nomodeset but also without "splash" and "quiet"?13:40
Jackneilltomreyn, sure13:40
Jackneilltomreyn,  $vt_handoff?13:41
tomreynJackneill: if that also doesn't work, do it *with* "nomodeset" but *without* "splash" and "quiet". the goal for now is just to get us some log.13:41
caldusertherefore being a my processor a legacy system, if the microcode was open source is it possible to solve the problem?13:42
tomreyncalduser: such theoretical discussions about firmware are way beyond the scope of this channel.13:42
caldusertomreyn my question is not offtopic because it concerns the security of ubuntu13:43
popey_calduser: you're asking something nobody here can answer13:44
popey_calduser: the software is closed source, nobody here is empowered to change that13:44
hggdhcalduser: yes, if the firmwares were to be open-sourced, then some issues might be resolved. But it is not, so nothing can be done in this channel13:44
calduserhggdh ok thanks13:45
sambagirlhi i am having trouble with the unattended-updr  and i would like to just disable it because i check on my own and apply what i want13:46
Jackneilltomreyn, http://termbin.com/3shk successfuly logged in to gnome13:46
Jackneillhigh res13:46
cfhowlettJackneill/ so your updated bios fixed it??13:46
sambagirlwhen i look under processes i dont see it13:47
tomreynJackneill: using which kernel parameters?13:47
Jackneilltomreyn, kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.0.0-15-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro nomodeset13:47
Jackneillthat was a recovery entry13:47
tomreynit says on the log of course, silly me13:47
popey_sambagirl: it only wakes up periodically, you can remove it if you don't want to use it.13:47
popey_sambagirl: sudo apt remove unattended-upgrades13:48
sambagirlpopey_ i keep getting the13:48
calduserfor those who find themselves in the same situation as a legacy processor, how did you mitigate the vulnerability?13:48
sambagirlCould not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)13:48
sambagirlE: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?13:48
cfhowlett!aptlock | sambagirl/13:49
ubottusambagirl/: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »13:49
popey_yikes, that aptlock thing is a bit bad13:49
sambagirlthat did it :D13:49
cfhowlettpopey_/ eh? how so?13:50
Jackneilltomreyn, powered off, then on, no grub just purple screen.13:50
popey_you went directly from "how do I disable a thing" to "kill a process"13:50
popey_which seems a bit of a leap13:50
popey_it worked though, so meh :)13:50
tomreynJackneill: the v300 firmware states it was produced on 11/22/2018 whereas the download page states it was released on 2019/02/14, weird...13:50
Jackneilltomreyn, :)13:51
sambagirlpopey_ after i applied the command ms bot gave me it allowed me to uninstall it finally.13:51
popey_sweet, good stuff13:51
sambagirli am up and rolling. thanks all. HEY SEVEAS! chao!13:51
Jackneilltomreyn, if i get to bios then quit, i get grub13:51
Jackneilltomreyn, and from thenb on i can log into gnome13:52
tomreynJackneill: you need to repeatedly press escape to bring up the grub menu by default. it will, however, show automatically if the system did not power down properly.13:53
BluesKajauto login enabled, perhaps?13:53
Jackneilli dobnt have auto login enabled13:53
tomreynJackneill: can you ensure that 'fast boot' is disabled in 'bios'?13:53
BluesKajok13:53
Jackneilli have lvm disk encryption, then gdm login screen13:53
Jackneilltomreyn, yes.13:53
anselmI thought you hold down shift to bring up grub menu during boot?13:54
tomreynthat's when you bios boot13:54
Jackneilltomreyn, double checked, it is disabled.13:54
Jackneilltomreyn, i have disabled secure boot too.13:55

Jackneilltomreyn, did the same now. escape from bios to get grub, "ubuntu", but this time no luck. only purple screen. this worked just previously now.13:56
Jackneilltomreyn, thank you.13:56
Jackneilltomreyn, now i have got grub without escaping from bios first. seems non-deterministic.13:57
Jackneillbut only purple screen after grub "ubuntu".13:57

benyaminxploithelo14:01
lordcirth_benyaminxploit, hi14:10
tomreynJackneill: so here's what seems notable about your logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4GYRsWz2VZ/14:14
Jackneilltomreyn, right14:14
tomreynJackneill: the first four lines just point out what you're running on. then we have a TSC firmware bug - I don't know what TSC actually stands for, but it's a rather common mainboard firmware issue, and apparently it was worked around by Linux.14:16
tomreynJackneill: and then you have loads of ACPI errors which are, i think, USB related.14:17
tomreynnd an acpi warning, which i would yet need to lookup14:18
tomreynJackneill: can you please post this as well:  lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 999914:19
Jackneilltomreyn, right, i think i will have to permanently add nomodeset, also remove quiet splash and $vt_handoff14:19
Jackneillsure, sec.14:19
tomreynJackneill: it also seems that you don't have all ubuntu updates installed, yet. can you please check whether oyu have any pending?14:20
Jackneilltomreyn, https://termbin.com/5r4e14:21
Jackneilltomreyn, i have checked with update && upgrade, all 0s14:22
Jackneilltomreyn, as i remember i have installed those after i posted for you14:22
tomreynJackneill: so you're saying you first generated the log, then installed updates, right?14:24
Jackneilltomreyn, after the jouirnalctl -b i installed updates then tried restart14:25
Jackneillshell i post another?14:25
tomreynJackneill: not yet, thanks. this laptop seems to be connected to a docking station, is this correct?14:25
tomreynusb 1-4.1: Product: USB-C Triple-4K Dock14:25
Jackneilltomreyn, yes.14:26
Jackneillvia usb, yes14:26
tomreynJackneill: please disconnect the docking statiion and any other non essential (including external mouse, keyboard) periphels, then boot again normally without nomodeset.14:27
Jackneilltomreyn, ok, sec14:27
Jackneilltomreyn, no success. just pruple screen.14:30
tomreynJackneill: what if you boot using the default kernel but without "quiet", without "splash", without "nomodeset"?14:31
lotuspsychjecheddar82143: are you on ubuntu?14:32
Jackneilltomreyn, purple screen14:32
Jackneilltomreyn, just nomodeset from the 3 works.14:33
ryuopurple screen of death?14:33
ryuoo.O14:33
tomreynJackneill: try without "nomodeset" but with these:  i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_fbc=014:35
Jackneilltomreyn, i have not done anything and now it seems to work (i dont get grub, just the gdm ,login screen)14:37
Jackneilltomreyn, i mean i didntr put the i9..,. line in kernel args, just the default.14:37
tomreynJackneill: what'S the output of: cat /proc/cmdline14:38
Jackneilltomreyn, now i only get the purple screen for a short time, a switch to disk decrypt14:38
tomreynJackneill: don't reboot so soon next time you get it to boot properly.14:38
Jackneilltomreyn, ro quiet splash vt.handoff=114:39

Jackneilltomreyn, https://termbin.com/ehkf14:40
tomreynJackneill: thanks. i'm puzzled as to why it works sometimes but not always, this can suggest a hardware issue. but you're using the laptops internal monitor, right, so it could not be an external cable that is broken.14:43
Jackneilltomreyn, also brand new company laptop14:44
Jackneilltomreyn, anyway thank you for your help. i will keep rebooting, power offing it frequently, if i get it again, i will just toss it into a river and send a photo to asus14:45

lotuspsychjeJackneill: im browsing it atm14:52
tomreynhmm, i don't really know what else to try, i'm afraid, Jackneill14:53
BluesKajJackneill, to check your graphics run, sudo lshw -C video14:54
Jackneilltomreyn, thank you for your help :)14:54
tomreynJackneill: the intel gpu firmware which got loaded seems to be the latest. your mainboard firmware is up to date, you're uefi booting, and on a recent kernel version. there's not a whole lot more you can try, other than those i915 module parameters i pointed out, and maybe some others.14:55
JackneillBluesKaj, http://termbin.com/y9i414:56
Jackneilltomreyn, i will note them down14:56
tomreynJackneill: "modinfo -p i915" lists the parameters you can try at grub. always prefix those with "i915."14:56
lotuspsychjeJackneill: did you test other ubuntu releases?14:56
tomreynJackneill: since this is an ULV platform, my guess would be that it can be a power saving issue. so any module parameters related to power saving / efficiency could be worth playing with.14:57
Jackneilltomreyn, http://termbin.com/nox0m14:57
tomreynJackneill: also you should try a !mainline kernel14:57

Jackneilltomreyn, i will find the time today. since you know this bug well, could you list infos that will be very useful to file?15:03
tomreynJackneill: most importantly, describe the symptoms well: that it sometimes boots fine and other times is gets stuck as the purple screen (describe this purple screen a little better if you can - what happens right before it etc.).15:05
tomreynJackneill: logs will be added automatically, i don't think there will be a need to post any.15:06
tomreynyou should mention that you're using the latest mainboard firmware15:07

amcclurestartup keeps stuck on "detect the available gpus and deal with any system changes" - is there any way to disable it or find what's causing it to stay running?18:31
tomreynamcclure: which ubuntu version is this?18:44
rivynWhy doesn't the Ubuntu installer support JFS as a filesystem choice?  Is there a less straightforward way to configure Ubuntu to use JFS instead of ext4?18:45
ducasserivyn: have you checked if the old (debian-based) server installer offers it?18:54
tomreynrivyn: you could probably do it from an installed system which already supports jfs, installing using debootstrap. i do not know which boot managers can boot off jfs.18:54
Kon-Hi, my stub-resolv.conf keeps defaulting to 127.0.0.53 even though I have specified a different DNS and fallback DNS in /etc/systemd/resolvd.conf. This was working before so I'm a little confused as to why it's not now19:11
rivynducasse:  I'm installing Server, not Desktop, is that the default?19:13
tomreynKon-: do you mean /etc/systemd/resolved.conf (your path was missing an 'e')?19:13
Kon-Yes, sorry19:14
Kon-I have it open right now and it's named correctly19:14
hans__any idea why Ubuntu 18.04 would get 4mbit/s on hardware where Debian 8.8 and CentOS 6.9 get ~200mbit/s upload speed? (and it affects up speed only, down speed is unaffected)19:14
hans__internet, tcp419:14
ducasserivyn: server now uses the subiquity installer, use the one without 'live' in the filename19:14
rivyntomreyn:  All boot managers that I know of can boot off of JFS.  I'm guessing it's omission in the installer has to do with the fact that it's not online-resizable, which would make it awkward to use with LVM I suppose (I don't use LVM)19:16
rivynducasse:  Thanks, I'll go hunt for that.19:17
Kon-hans__: Do you have the net-tools package installed?19:17
hans__Kon-, nope19:18
hans__... can install it tho19:18
ducasserivyn: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.2/release/19:19
ducasserivyn: should be this one19:19
rivynducasse:  Thanks, I found it too :)19:19
Kon-Not recommended. I asked because on multiple machines, for whatever reason, installing net-tools on 18.04 caused my connection to max out at around half what it should have19:20
Kon-hans__:19:20
hans__Kon-, well i just installed it and it didn't make a difference (haven't tried rebooting post-installation tho)19:20
rivynHeh, I guess that I was using the classic installer with 16.04, which is where I'm pretty sure I saw the JFS option, so that's hopeful, will know in a couple minutes...19:20
rivynI had the "live" image for 18.0419:20
tomreynrivyn: that's a good theory (as to what it's not supported by default, as you say)19:20
hans__i guess i should add it's a cli installation with the only extra package being "ssh server" (didn't even choose "basic ubuntu server" )19:21
