[00:00] compiz-plugins kk thank you pavlos i already have the other two [00:00] truexfan81: start ccsm, in effects you'll see wobbly windows, enable them [00:02] oh that is so much nicer with the full compositing pipeline options in nvidia-settings preventing tearing [00:04] anyone? [00:06] Isildur: many [00:07] :) [00:07] can you help me? [00:07] Isildur: ask a question, wait ... [00:07] ok [00:08] so, i have installed ubuntu some days ago, but my os doesn't recognize audio card(s). i'm pretty newbe with linux distributions. [00:09] Isildur: compare lspci output with lsmod output -- see if you've got a kernel module loaded that looks like it should handle your audio card [00:10] can't send the lines [00:11] compare-im6.q16: unable to open image `lspci': File o directory non esistente @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2701. [00:11] Isildur: sudo lshw -c sound | nc termbin.com 9999 ... give us the link [00:11] file pr directory doesn't exist [00:11] Isildur: do "aplay -l" and see if there are any "cards" listed with "PCH" [00:12] scheda 0: bytcrrt5651 [bytcr-rt5651], dispositivo 0: Audio (*) [] [00:12] not pch cards [00:14] https://termbin.com/164f [00:17] Isildur: try this: "lspci -nnk | nc termbin.com 9999 " [00:17] https://termbin.com/dzfu [00:19] Isildur: no sign of a sound device there; what does "dmesg | grep DMI:" report ? [00:20] should i type that lines on terminal? [00:21] Isildur: there should be only one, giving the make/model of the system [00:22] with system you mean..?! [00:22] lsmod | grep snd [00:23] Isildur: on my system I get one line, thus: "[ 0.000000] DMI: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. T300CHI/T300CHI, BIOS T300CHI.207 08/06/2015" [00:24] Isildur: do you get one line as well that tells you the make and model of the device (PC) ? [00:25] Isildur: use the similar method as before ... dmesg | grep DMI: | nc termbin.com 9999 [00:27] nothing happened with dmesg | grep DMI: | nc termbin.com 9999 [00:28] Isildur: try this: journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' [00:29] kernel: DMI: Jumper EZbook/Cherry Trail CR, BIOS 5.11 11/21/2017 [00:29] TJ-: we got your DMI ^ [00:42] tj? === jje_ is now known as jje [00:45] anyone who can fix my problem please? [00:47] Isildur: this seesm to be a Jumper EZbook 2, apparently audio issues are common with this platform. can you run this: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 and port the url? [00:48] https://termbin.com/d77l [00:48] Isildur: also this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo and report where you uploaded to in the end. [00:50] http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=18ea53bd22c68627d7773eb2cf5193cf9235c834 [00:52] Isildur: so there is a detected audio chip. but your system log (the first one you uploaded) contains this very often, which looks like an error which should be researched more: kernel: "Audio Port: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for Audio Port" [00:52] sorry, bulding software here as well [00:53] tomreyn didn't understand so well [00:53] no problem tj [00:54] Isildur: looks at what you posted to https://termbin.com/d77l (output of command "journalctl -b"), search for a line saying "Audio Port: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for Audio Port" [00:56] Isildur: looks like a job for acpi_osi= to me; there's a LOT of ACPI power complexes and many not enabled [00:56] Isildur: see https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [00:57] Isildur: you will notice this line keeps repeating, which is usually an indication of some kind of error. if you scroll down further, you see that pulseaudio and "ALSA" ("advanced linux sound architecture"), basically the basic linux sound management drivers / software, were unable to "find a working profile" [00:58] yes tom [00:58] ound iti f [00:58] i found it [01:02] tj- can't understand [01:03] Isildur: we can try what TJ suggests, which is - roughly speaking - to tell your computer firmware that we're running windows, not linux, and that it should treat us like windows.this can work around bad firmware which is really only made to work with windows. run this: sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i 'windows ' | sort | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:04] https://termbin.com/xefn === zbenjamin is now known as Guest26618 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:10] Isildur: run this: sudo sed -i 's/^$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=.*$\"$/\1 acpi_osi=! \\"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\\""/' /etc/default/grub; grep '^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' /etc/default/grub [01:11] what's the output? [01:12] acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\" [01:13] Isildur: run this, then reboot: sudo update-grub [01:13] ubuntu?reboot [01:14] yes, restart the computer normally via the menu [01:14] thanks [01:14] coming back [01:14] sure [01:14] see you in a bit === murthy is now known as murthy_ [01:30] hey there, i'm isildur [01:30] i did reboot [01:30] Carlito98890: welcome back. [01:30] thank you [01:31] any improvements to the sound, yet? [01:31] i had to register a nick. thank to the patience [01:31] nope [01:31] consider also installing "hexchat", a proper chat client, much better than this web chat. [01:31] ok [01:32] then tell me what is the output of: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:33] https://termbin.com/6ijv [01:33] the same i think === murthy_ is now known as murthy [01:36] yes, quite similar. [01:39] wow that's a log of sadness and despair [01:39] as you previously noticed in bug 1768991 [01:39] bug 1768991 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "[bytchtes8316] Sound does not work" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1768991 [01:39] here i go [01:39] tomreyn: wow :) [01:40] i did switch on kvirc [01:40] a year ago ;) [01:40] tomreyn: dude. I saw those dates and really thought "bummer, no fix in over six months" [01:41] Carlito98890: ok. there's bug 1768991 which discusses the same issue. [01:41] bug 1768991 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "[bytchtes8316] Sound does not work" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1768991 [01:41] but we have no workaround, i think [01:42] so there is not a solution? [01:43] Carlito98890: what you can try is rebooting with the other values from https://termbin.com/xefn in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line in (run this command): gedit admin:///etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub [01:44] i.e. replace Windows 2015 by Windows 2013 and reboot, and repeat with Windows 2012 etc. [01:45] you could also try a different kernel, maybe this has since been fixed: sudo apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge [01:46] this also looks related https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115531 [01:46] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 115531 in Sound(ALSA) "Missing codec driver cx2072x, add support for it" [Blocking,New] [01:46] downloading new kernel..

[01:51] On Ubuntu 16.04.6, if I use Enigmail on Thunderbird 60.7.0 (64-bit) I cant send email, clicking the send button does nothing. If I disable Enigmail then I can send. Its set to use /usr/bin/gpg2 which is v 2.1.11 [01:51] Hello everyone just like to ask [01:51] tomreyn: it's the libasound configs for the cherry trail SoC [01:51] sgtnasty: if you start thunderbird from a terminal, do you get any error messages there that look relevant? [01:52] I entered an command like tHis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [01:52] and it gave me a result like this at the end of the process [01:52] W: initramfs-tools configuration sets RESUME=UUID=b849c7f8-6447-4221-ba8f-e85a5216a6f3 [01:52] W: but no matching swap device is available. [01:52] I issued the command because the keys backspace, single quotation mark, g and h are not working consistently [01:53] sometimes they work and sometimes they don't [01:53] easyOnMe: that warning message is almost certainly entirely unrelated to your keyboard problems [01:53] TJ-: i'm looking at this directory on my 18.04 system, its contents don't look very different from the other directories in /usr/share/alsa/ucm/ - but maybe you're saying you glanced at the files in /usr/share/alsa/ucm/chtrt5645 and have some experience with what they should look like and they don't look like that (something i could not tell). [01:53] tom, tj, this can help? https://github.com/plbossart/sound/commit/b2a57d169c54f8d9ac60c2839dae93468bc4d040 [01:54] no errors or anything that looks like an issue [01:54] sarnold: ok what does it mean then [01:55] tom i have to reboot after new kernel installation? [01:55] weird firefox wont connect to internet. chromium and hexchat work fine [01:55] easyOnMe: no, i don't think so, this should be alread yon the kernel you have. the issue is with the main audio device, not just hdmi audio. [01:55] Carlito98890: yes, you need to reboot after installing a new kernel. [01:56] sgtnasty: rats :( [01:56] JavaScript error: chrome://enigmail/content/enigmailMessengerOverlay.js, line 324: TypeError: Enigmail is undefined [01:56] tomreyn: so the issue has got to do with the audio my laptop and not about my keyboard [01:56] is it possible to build an array and select an index inline? e.g. I want to do something like VAR=${(opt1 opt2 op3)[ % 3]} [01:56] what can I do to address that message then [01:56] easyOnMe: no, tomreyn just mixed you up with Carlito98890 [01:56] easyOnMe: sorry, i was meaning to say this to Carlito98890 [01:57] easyOnMe: do you have a swap device on your system? do you care about suspend-to-disk? [01:57] easyOnMe: please just ignore what i said [02:00] sarnold: what does a swap device do [02:00] and why should I consider your suggestion [02:01] easyOnMe: a swap device helps your computer run more programs than you have memory for [02:01] easyOnMe: when more memory is needed, the kernel will push dirty memory into the swap device [02:02] sarnold: I see [02:02] ok [02:02] easyOnMe: this swap device was given a second task -- hold ALL system state while doing suspend-to-disk [02:02] sarnold: if I do what you suggested will it cause any unforeseeable harm to my laptop [02:02] I am still learning using ubuntu [02:02] easyOnMe: .. it's some complicated juggling, but if your swap device is same size or larger than your ram, you can suspend to it, and save state there [02:03] easyOnMe: well, I haven't suggested that you *do* anything, yet [02:03] sarnold: yea [02:03] sarnold: but my pressing concern now is my keyboard [02:03] easyOnMe: I'm just curious how you use your system :) do you care about doing suspend to disk? (I'm not sure we even support it..) [02:03] it works very inconsistently [02:04] easyOnMe: does the keyboard work when you plug it in to other systems? [02:04] sarnold: no my concern about suspend to disk [02:04] tom is the same [02:04] need to address my keyboard issues ere [02:04] tomreyn: from what I can see the versions we have are quite old and may be broke for many CT based devices, assuming we have the correct Asoc, e.g. see https://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=tree;f=src/conf/ucm;hb=HEAD [02:04] sarnold: I mean my laptop keyboard [02:05] the keys backspace, single quotation mark, g and h are not working consistently [02:05] easyOnMe: oh no, it's *laptop*? that's no good :( that's so much harder to diagnose. you can't just unplug those things. :( [02:05] sarnold: Iyes [02:05] yes [02:06] I need help on it [02:06] easyOnMe: you can try running the xev program; it'll show keyup, keydown, mouse, etc events [02:06] because I am using an hp laptop probook s-series [02:07] sarnold: I did it already [02:07] problem still persisting [02:07] did you see those key up and down events? [02:07] sarnold: yes [02:08] easyOnMe: (this time i'm really talking to you): either just run rm /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume* && sudo update-initramfs -u or (before you run the other commands), more difficultly, find out what your resume-from-suspend-to-disk device should be (use: lsblk, cat /proc/swaps) and set this in /etc/initramfs-tools/resume* [02:08] easyOnMe: weird, so the keyboard appears to be working but something is dropping them ?? [02:09] tomreyn: are you sure suspend is my issue here [02:09] sarnold: all keys are workin except tose keys i mentioned [02:09] sometimes tose keys work [02:09] sometimes tey dont [02:09] easyOnMe: ahhhhhh. okay. that makes sense. that sounds like flaky switches or keyboard connector. [02:10] sarnold: if tat is so [02:10] wat can be done [02:10] tomreyn: what do i do [02:10] TJ-: hmm yes ubuntu 18.04 only seems to support chtrt5645 whereas Carlito98890 has "bytcr-rt5651" according to http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=18ea53bd22c68627d7773eb2cf5193cf9235c834 [02:11] tomreyn: aha, nice find [02:11] Carlito98890: i don't have a solution for you at this time. you can run this to add your information to the existing bug report: sudo apport-collect 1768991 [02:11] easyOnMe: hopefully the machine is still under warranty [02:12] sarnold: no [02:12] Carlito98890: actually dont [02:12] You see now gh are working [02:12] including the ' quotation mark and the backspace [02:12] after awhile for some unknown reason they failed to work [02:13] Carlito98890: please file a new bug report using: sudo ubuntu-bug alsa-base [02:14] sarnold: any solution [02:14] I can use [02:14] easyOnMe: I still suspect hardware [02:15] Carlito98890: Just report that your sound is not working on both the kernel you had when you installed (4.18.0-20-generic #21~18.04.1-Ubuntu) and the kernel you run now. [02:15] sarnold: I see [02:15] ok ten I ave to replace tis keyboard ten [02:15] tanks [02:15] good luck [02:15] I was able to swap out mine on my thinkpad easy enough [02:15] hopefully hp made theirs as swappable :) [02:16] Carlito98890: unfortunately there are also issues with your sda disk. i don't know whether those are relevant, you might have lower disk I/O performance than it could be. [02:17] OK TOM THANK YOU VERY MUCH [02:17] ops sorry [02:17] Carlito98890: oh can you post journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 once more? [02:18] Carlito98890: i don't think you posted it with the new kernel, yet [02:19] whats the prefered vimium-like solution for firefox? [02:20] https://termbin.com/78zp [02:21] netkam2: I'm using tridactyl at the moment. afaik it's the best of the available choices. I've come to hate it. [02:22] Carlito98890: okay, let us know when you files a bug report, please [02:22] tomreyn: what did you spot that lead you to say there's drive problems? [02:23] man battery life on this thing must be *awful* [02:23] it's always writing logs.. [02:23] tomreyn: copying this dir+contents into /usr/share/alsa/ucm/ might help: https://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=tree;f=src/conf/ucm/bytcr-rt5651;h=12b8f8b60a74cd4a1894f2460cb0dc39a6bcda2b;hb=HEAD [02:25] sarnold: turns out i was looking at someone elses log when i found those sda issues https://launchpadlibrarian.net/368558116/CurrentDmesg.txt - Carlitos' logs do not actually mention "sda" [02:25] Carlito98890: can you test the hedset? because " bytcr-rt5651 Headset as /devices/pci0000:00/808622A8:00/bytcr_rt5651/sound/card0/input18" [02:25] i try [02:25] tomreyn: aha, the guy from a year ago :) [02:25] again [02:27] doesn't works [02:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1831301 [02:28] Launchpad bug 1831301 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "sound doesn't works in both kernel. no one cards is recognize by system-" [Undecided,New] [02:28] sarnold: yes, that's right [02:29] TJ- / sarnold: is alsa-driver the right package to file this against? [02:29] rather linux? [02:30] Carlito98890: thanks, we may need to you to run another command to gather more logs shortly [02:30] tomreyn: I'm guessing linux. alsa-driver hasn't been touched since *wily*: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+changelog [02:31] Carlito98890: you didn't meantion which both kernels you tried (i had summed it up for you) [02:31] oh crap. i had him file against alsa-base [02:31] thank you tom [02:33] Carlito98890: could you run apport-collect 1831301 ? [02:33] without the question mark [02:33] tomreyn: i'm not too sure! [02:34] thanks, i think we worked it out. [02:34] ^TJ [02:35] Carlito98890: Just report that your sound is not working on both the kernel you had when you installed (4.18.0-20-generic #21~18.04.1-Ubuntu) and the kernel you run now. [02:37] Carlito98890: so once this is done we can try to put this ALSA profile in place and see if this helps you. [02:37] sarnold: are you using any link selection at all now or you gave up? [02:37] netkam2: what do you mean by link selection? [02:38] ok [02:38] netkam2: I use f sometimes, but not always.. [02:39] sarnold: an vimium type solution [02:40] i remember vimium for ff being horrible [02:41] netkam2: I'm still using tridactyl. as much as I hate it, I can't use firefox without something similar. [02:41] netkam2: one of these days I want to try out qutebrowser [02:44] Carlito98890: how's the apport-collect coming? [02:44] sarnold: its kind of dreadful [02:45] very hipster tho [02:45] netkam2: I've heard that it's also pretty slow :( [02:45] it's like browsing in a crane machine [02:45] but I'm so sick of typing ohello world and having tridactyl turn that into ohellowo rld [02:45] somehow spaces cause a delay that's reliably two chars long [02:46] it's driving me mental [02:46] trying this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vim-vixen/?src=search [02:46] someone in #emacs said it was good [02:46] lol sound bad [02:47] wow vimvixen is pretty neat [02:48] netkam2: if you select an url, and then hit p or P, will it open that url in a tab or a new tab? [02:49] let's see [02:49] Carlito98890: i assume you're busy now. i'll respond on the bug tracker. [02:49] not sure because the link is called by a random series of letters [02:49] netkam2: YES! https://github.com/ueokande/vim-vixen#misc [02:49] tried holding shift, and it sort of ignored it [02:50] netkam2: dude, thanks :) I'm going to have to give this a try. [02:50] wierd, not sure what problem that obscure feature solves.. but [02:52] netkam2: it lets you select an URL in IRC or email or whatever, and then you can open it in firefox with just one key press ;) [02:52] normally you'd have to do something like ^T then ^L then shift-insert and then enter [02:53] hmm [02:53] tmux user? [02:54] only to keep a persistent irssi instance [02:54] trying to figure out how this helps my workflow [02:54] i just click and say open in browser, irssi kde user [02:55] right click >> open link [02:55] Konsole is pretty happy about just letting you click on links [02:57] aha! [02:57] I use urxvt [02:58] I haven't yet liked any terminals that offered hyperlinking [02:59] so I am hving this realy strange behaviour. [02:59] there we go [02:59] urxvt makes me wanna jump out of a window [02:59] that could even be a pun somehow [03:00] lol [03:01] a certain disk device enumerator (/dev/sdg so g in this case ) is automatically mounted by the mount manager but shows empty if viewed with fdisk. [03:02] there's so much that goes into making a terminal decision.. you have to like the font rendering, it has to provide the scrolling bandwidth that you like, it has to provide input latency that fits, some people like *all* terminal updates to be sent, others prefer that updates be dropped if it means it can go faster, etc etc etc. there's no wonder why there's dozens of terminals :) [03:03] however if I eject the stuck insert another one that one becomes sdg and show the same behaviour, however if I insert the previous stick if becomes sdf and is readable.. [03:04] you don't need a partition table on a block device in order to put a filesystem on it [03:04] sarnold, I know all of that [03:05] it's just that any disk that gets assigned /dev/sdg shows up as empty [03:05] also, I think fdisk only does the old-style mbr-partition tables; if you've got gpt tables that aren't mirrored on mbr tables, I don't think fdisk will see it [03:05] sarnold: i just use kde [03:08] sarnold, so any disk that assign the enumerator g (/dev/sdg) appears to be empty. [03:08] sarnold, and I mean literally empy as in zero size zero sectores etc etc [03:09] sectors [03:09] lapion: what's the kernel report when you insert them? [03:10] sarnold, the only thing because it's a zero disk ( when assigned /dev/sdg ) [1278909.722991] FAT-fs (sdg1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. [03:10] lapion: please also run fdisk -l /dev/sdg | nc termbin.com 9999 [03:11] tomreyn, it shows up empty as long as it's /dev/sdg [03:12] so this message tells us that a partition table was read and interpreted, that there is a first partition sdg1 on it, with a FAT file system, whjich was not propoerly unmounted and is thus unusable until fixed. [03:13] tomreyn, if I remove the stick insert another ( that one then becomes sdg ) when reinserting the previous stick ( it becomes sdh ) shows as normal again [03:13] the command "fdisk -l /dev/sdg" would not return without providing output, no. [03:14] tomreyn, howver any device assinged sdg shows up as a non-disk that means no sectors no cylinders no blocks [03:14] sure, because the other stick doesn't have a corrupt file system on it [03:16] i understand what you're saying, but i also think you're jumping to conclusions, and will continue to do so until you've shown output confirming what you conclude. [03:17] tomreyn, stcik 1 is sdg, remove stick 1 insert stick 2 it becomes sdg, reinsert 1 it becomes sdh, now 1 is readable as sdh but not when it was sdg , stick 2 is not readable if it is sdg. however as any other sd[a-f,g-z] it is readbale [03:18] tomreyn, solved it.... [03:18] how? [03:19] fsck /dev/sdg, i guess? [03:19] *sdg1 [03:23] hp:~$ ls -l /dev/sd? [03:23] brw-rw---- 1 root disk 440 mei 26 08:45 /dev/sdg [03:23] hp:~$ sudo rm /dev/sdg [03:24] that's an unusual size [03:24] tomreyn, not if you look at mbr.bin [03:25] I'm confused; why doesn't your ls -l output show the major and minor number of the device? [03:26] eg http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r9NzVWPTJH/ [03:26] dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdg ( /dev/sdg had no assigned device so it was not created at the time of dd ) === blaster is now known as gorpy [03:27] ... [03:27] uhh [03:27] lol [03:29] sarnold, tomreyn the desktop mounter still had a cached copy of the original /dev/sdg... [03:36] hi [03:37] hi Rojola [03:37] When I use "mailmerge" in open office (to create bulk letters) - how can I print to odt files? [03:37] odt is not an option in the dropdown list of file extensions [03:37] do you mean libreoffice? [03:37] however, I have a directory here which was created using mailmerge, and it contains odt files [03:38] so there must be a way - I only forgot how I did it a year ago [03:38] tomreyn, yes [03:38] i did mailmerge there years ago, but i'm afreaid i don't recall the details, nor whether this was then printable directly. [03:39] I see [03:39] thank you anyway! [03:54] Rojola: so i just tried mail merge on ubuntu 18.04, and i got a button called "Print merged documents" which shows up after running mail merge [03:55] Rojola: which ubuntu version are you on, do you have this button, too? [03:56] https://i.imgur.com/ZLbDAsT.png the mail merge toolbar, the bottom one, only showed up after i finished mailmerge [04:01] tomreyn, sorry for the late response, I was just very deep into libreoffice [04:01] tomreyn, I found out how it works [04:01] tomreyn, there are 2 options: [04:01] Either you create the filename from the database-field [04:01] or you save it manually [04:01] only when saving it manually, ODT is an option! [04:01] without generating the filename from the DB [04:08] glad you got it working [04:17] thank you tomreyn [04:17] good night [04:47] Fresh 18.04 install, did apt update and switched to padoka PPA, now just get a blank purple screen instead of login screen. I can VT-switch and startx and get a fully functional X session that way so it can't be a driver issue (right?) [04:47] disabling wayland in gdm3 custom.conf did not help [04:47] DO WE AGREE! [04:47] telescopeemoji3: can we help you? [04:47] apt update && apt dist-upgrade, rather [04:48] roothorick: startx is not the way to go anymore, whats your graphics card chipset & driver version please? [04:48] I know. startx works, gdm3 doesn't [04:49] RX480 Mesa 19.0.1 [04:49] I just ate a whole pizza! [04:50] telescopeemoji3: only ubuntu support questions here please, this is not a chat [04:50] telescopeemoji3= this is ubuntu support. please stay on topic. chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:50] roothorick: we dont really support the use of ppa's perhaps try to invert it? [04:51] You think the PPA driver is somehow breaking gdm3 and only gdm3? gnome-shell is fine [04:51] roothorick: what was wrong with the driver ubuntu loaded? [04:51] Too old for SteamVR. Actually Padoka stable may be too old as well, seems to be missing an extension [04:52] roothorick: try a !nomodeset to get in your system again and revert the ppa, we can see from there [04:53] YES WE DID [04:56] I can get into the system fine with VT-switch [04:56] Ctrl+Alt+F2, login and startx, fully functional Gnome session [04:57] Reverted PPA to no effect [04:57] wait [04:57] roothorick: lets have a look at: sudo lshw -C video [04:58] It initialized the HMD as a normal display [04:58] so the login screen was on the HMD [04:58] I thought there was a blacklist to prevent that? [05:03] what is HMD? [05:06] Head-mounted display i.e. VR headset, in this case a Vive [05:08] ah, probably http://www.openhmd.net/ [05:09] actually no, I'm trying to get official SteamVR working [05:10] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.15-Non-Desktop-Quirk discusses what you seem to be referring to. [05:10] Bionic already is 4.15 though, right? [05:10] you read very fast [05:11] I more remembered the article than anything [05:11] I've been tinkering with VR for quite a while now [05:11] the bionic GA kernel is 4.15, yes, !HWE is 4.18 currently, hwe-edge is 5.0 [05:12] HWE is supported here, PPAs are not. [05:12] (but trying padoka or oibaf is not a bad idea if HWE didn't help) [05:13] roothorick: you might take a look here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/first-steps-with-openvr-and-the-vive-on-linux.7229 [05:13] I have it working fine on my Nvidia rig [05:14] but I want a Radeon system for comparisons as the software stack is very different and a critical feature is currently AMD only [05:15] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUlToHE_27U [05:16] telescopeemoji3: again, this channel is only about ubuntu support [05:17] telescopeemoji3: please do not post random other stuff here. [05:17] hwe-edge didn't seem to make a difference on gdm picking up the HMD [05:18] With a heavy heart! [05:18] <3 [05:19] roothorick: did you try latest kernels yet? === murthy is now known as murthy_ [05:21] I think I know what's going on [05:21] I have wayland forced off and need HWE Xorg for display leasing [05:22] I'm about to play with a different PPA anyway, I think I can wing it from here [05:22] roothorick: the steamvr ppa from kisak has also usefull info [05:22] that's exactly what I just found, lol [05:22] but we take our hands off that, being experimental and external ppa [05:23] I intend for this system to hemorrhage from all edges so it's all good === murthy_ is now known as murthy [05:26] my laptop is the stable one, the reference install. I don't think it's even running HWE. [05:35] HWE Xorg did the trick, now Gnome doesn't even acknowledge the HMD's existence but it's still showing up in xrandr (which for an AMD system is what you want) [05:38] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBosAirL8ds [05:40] !ops | telescopeemoji3 [05:40] telescopeemoji3: Help!

Process failed at updating apparmor. Googled around. Said to install a certain package. When attempted, I get an error, "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." Running that continuously fails when it gets to apparmor. Anyone have any idea how to proceed? [07:07] hey I can't find sensitivity configurations for magic trackpad 2 devices [07:07] which are now supported on ubuntu 19.04 [07:07] any ideas where I can find this [07:13] Hello everyone [07:14]
