[00:00] Is there a way to prevent this? I mean, can't apt get upgrade virtually try or at least save menu.lst grub conf etc, so if it fails, it can revert? [00:01] its insane that a machine will just hose its boot partition willingly [00:01] it depends upon the error in question [00:07] FaTaL_G: Out of disk space ? what shows ' df -h ; df -i ' ? [00:10] Bashing-om, It has been before... more than once [00:11] FaTaL_G: this should handle keeping N kernels /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels [00:11] more times that not, it isnt, regardless, it fails to rebuild initramfs or grub2 [00:11] sarnold: I think I fixed it. [00:12] brb.. afk for a few minutes. [00:12] MarkB2: oh yes? what di dyou do? [00:12] its so infuriating... anything that touches the actual BOOT partition should act like flashing a bios.... and only delete or overwrite things once it knows its good [00:19] FaTaL_G: I agree. But the idea of a "root" user having "supreme power" over an OS means it thinks root is Ghod and it will do whatever Ghod says to do. [00:19] FaTaL_G: When unattended-upgrades is enabled - the default action is to keep the last "working" kernel. [00:21] sarnold: Installed Firefox 67.0.1 fresh. Opened the Library and did a "Restore" from the old profile's bookmarkbackup directory. [00:22] It issued a warning something like, "Do you really want to do this?" Left-clicked yes and it did it. [00:22] But saved passwords weren't restored. [00:22] looked on the net. [00:22] copied the key3.db and key4.db files to the new profile. [00:23] One other file needed to be copied... one moment [00:24] cookies.sqlite or places.sqlite perhaps? [00:24] I generally do the updates myself. They arent unattended,but some updates spam the screen a bit over the top, and I might miss the error [00:25] Am I allowed to post a URL here? [00:25] I dont always check to make sure it rebuilt without error... but, even if it didnt, it would only require the methods of the tools to do preparation steps first, and upon success, then make changes. Far less likely to ever have a problem [00:26] its not ghods fault per-se, its the order of operations on the tools we use to update [00:26] MarkB2: sure [00:26] sarnold: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1229346 [00:27] MarkB2: that's a nice page, thanks [00:28] You're welcome. All I wanted was the last collection of saved bookmarks and the password files. [00:29] There was a note in another Mozilla support site saying that while exporting bookmarks is right there, there is no option to export the associated password file. [00:30] I've used sqlite to read through my places.sqlite before.. that's my most important file in that directory, by far [00:30] (and honestly, most of the friction in me trying other browsers.. life without that thing would be really hard) [00:32] are there any issues in ubuntu 19.04 [00:32] Oh yeah. A fresh install turns on all the telemetry to Daddy. I never thought I'd be referring to the Mozilla.org crowd as "Daddy" (like Google is Chrome's daddy)... but, darn it, I dislike having my browsing monitored. [00:32] yeah thats probably a bit of an issue [00:33] but im more worried about like memory leaks [00:33] in gnome [00:33] MarkB2: can that be disabled or opt-out of? [00:34] solidfox: You can turn off all kinds of things in Edit-->Preferences. But I'm still seeing error messages saying that a connection back to Daddy timed out. [00:34] solidfox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/ [00:34] Ah yes... and 67.0.1 has happily reverted its brains to refuse to work properly with Yahoo. [00:35] "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?" Options are "Stop it" and "Wait". How about "Show URL of messed up web page" ? Naw, that would be easy. [00:35] sarnold: ah i see [00:35] solidfox: See too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes >> Known issues , [00:36] Bashing-om: thanks [00:39] can ubuntu be put onto a usb with dd? [00:39] yup [00:39] Hey, new question. I noticed my tty's have oddly shaped and large text. I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and then logged into tty and ran setupcon but nothing changed. [00:39] ok i've always used unetbootin for some reaosn [00:41] jeremy31: thanks! After swapping out the wifi card for one that didn't work at all (!!) and putting it back, returned to AP and finally discovered that it was set to 802.11n mode only, setting buried 6 pages in, and off the bottom of the screen! [00:42] TJ-: behind locked doors, and a hungry leopard? :) [00:44] sarnold: it did feel that way; only wasted about 4 hours trying to get the darned thing on the 'net! [00:45] Maybe im in in a lower bit mode? [00:53] Sysifoss: Would help you if you told the terminal emulator that you are running in the TTY . [00:54] Bashing-om: How do I find that out? [00:55] TJ-: ouch :( [00:55] Bashing-om: I'm using standard ubuntu. Pressed ctrl+alt+f3. Anything thats been changed is accidental and likely the result of following bad forum advice and not realizing i messed up [00:57] Sysifoss: universally to see is terminal command ' echo $TERM ' . [00:58] Bashing-om: it said "linux" [00:59] messing up is the way we learn .. ubuntu: break it and you do get to keep the pieces :) [00:59] Sysifoss: Humm .. not what i expected .. As I do not run stock ubuntu I can not relate here . [01:00] It feels very strange, Bashing-om, to be considered a beta test site by Canonical. [01:01] That's what I like about open source! I have learned slowly through osmosis and messing up hard lol [01:02] MarkB2: Someone must test :) I did at one time do a lot of testing :P [01:02] Bashing-om: Indeed. What kind of regression testing would you do on Ubuntu? Or any Linux for that matter? [01:03] MarkB2: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/ [01:04] Sysifoss: I do not mind poking at this - if you can live with my fumbling - still with basb as your default shell ? ` echo $SHELL ` . [01:04] MarkB2: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/qa-regression-testing/+git/qa-regression-testing/+ref/master [01:04] MarkB2: Install bleeding edge something .. and get it to work ,, and/or holler for help when it breaks :) [01:05] Bashing-om: I dont mind fumbling. Whenever I'm helping friends convert to linux I fumble alot but I learn a ton trying to solve problems. [01:05] Bashing-om: yeah it says /bin/bash [01:06] Bashing-om: it takes fubling to figure anything out with systems as complex as these dang computers nowadays [01:10] Sysifoss: Thing is - I do not run standard; so I can not verify what is defaults in a standard install. [01:11] Bashing-om: ah, gotcha. Ive been trying to google that and it's been surprisingly hard [01:17] Sysifoss: Let's see what ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ' will do for you. It would guide you through the steps to choose a font and font-size. [01:17] the new settings will be effective after reboot. [01:37] oh, I've just killed a new install in the most spectacular way [01:39] TJ-: But no magic smoke ? [01:40] that too! tiredness kills... disks [01:40] TJ-: Ouch ! Such fun recovering data :( [01:43] disk had Windows on with 1=recovery,2=windows,5=data partitions. I used gparted earlier to remove 5 to make space above 2 for Linux... then like a berk went and installed Ubuntu into 2, wiping out Windows! So I thought I'll remove 1 (Recovery) since I found that was broken anyhow, put a Linux part in its place and copy the Linux in 2 down into it. 2 has LVM so easy, I make a snapshot of 2's rootfs LV and copy [01:43] it down into the new partition. HOWEVER I used sgdisk to --sort the partition numbers so the running 2 isn't the same as 2 on the disk until a reboot, and did "dd if=/dev/mapper/VG-snapshot_root /dev/sda2" ... and overwrote the running Linux!!! [01:44] * TJ- starts a fresh install with a strong mug of coffee [01:48] Coffee and smarts cures all ubuntu ails :D [02:22] hello, i am wondering why some people say w3m doesn't show images in gnome-terminal, and some say it does. [02:22] it does not for me [02:23] solidfox: install w3m-img and try again [02:23] sarnold: yes i have w3m-img and it works in xterm [02:23] oh! [02:23] i'm using ubuntu 19.04 [02:29] solidfox: might be some setting, in gnome-terminal [02:30] jack: yeah maybe [02:32] i really like ubuntu 19.04 though, its pretty great [02:39] solidfox: same here [02:39] * jack pets his discodingo [02:40] they tend to bite [02:50] Hmmm, why is 19.04 desktop installer setting GRUN_TIMEOUT=0 ? [02:53] Help [02:53] I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS [02:54] but it doesn't detect the link state on a connected interface [02:54] as such I cannot get past the network configuration stage [02:54] what do I do [02:54] BenderRodriguez: join to #ubuntu-server plz [02:54] ugh [02:55] i'd try something newer [02:55] 19.04 or so :P [02:56] but this is a server distro [02:56] so? [02:57] "lts"...how much does that weigh [02:57] we have 2919 now! [02:58] erm, 2019 [02:59] BenderRodriguez: determine what the NIC is and if it needs firmware support [02:59] TJ-: the NIC itself is detected [02:59] the ports show up in the interface list [02:59] the problem is a connected link doesn't show as up [02:59] and DHCP negotiation also fail [02:59] alright, you know what, why am I bothering with this [02:59] I'll try CentOS [03:01] BenderRodriguez: link state could be due to a firmware issue, or possibly a power-save feature, what type of NIC is it? what does lspci report? [03:06] BenderRodriguez: I found the ID of that device appears to be 14e4:163a, in which case the driver is 'bnx2' and that lists several possible firmwares required. "modinfo -F firmware bnx2" lists them. They should be under /lib/firmware/ [03:06] Hello [03:08] I'm currently trying to install ubuntu along side windows 10. I wanted to encrypt my ubuntu os in the partition screen. Can some one please help me with this [03:08] I selected something else option. [03:08] Im stuck on this screen [03:09] h3rb_: you're in luck! I just finished writing a guide for that... take a look see if it helps you. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 [03:10] h3rb_: be aware though, my guide is written for the scenario of using the entire disk (erasing whatever is on there) so you'll have to modify the steps to your scenario, but it is entirely do-able [03:10] Ok Im trying to install along side win 10 [03:11] I have already set aside 100gb for this [03:11] I clicked on something else option and on that partition screen [03:11] I have legacy boot [03:12] Nice article but why does encryption have to be soo complicated [03:13] h3rb_: as I said, see my guide, it deals with how to prepare for that. You've got to go through pre-install preparation before starting the installer [03:13] I'm not an expert with linux but I know my way around. [03:14] h3rb_: it's not complicated, it's just different. The installer can do it for an empty disk but due to some subtle interactions it doesn't attempt it if there's another OS on the target device [03:15] I have os installed on my target drive. [03:16] Its a very well written article TJ but this is just too much to do. How about I create partitions from the "something else" partition screen [03:17] Will that work? [03:18] There is a use as option, in that there is use as encrypted volume [03:19] Do I have to manually create swap, / and /boot encrypted? [03:19] From gui partition screen [03:20] h3rb_: no, it won't [03:20] :( why not? [03:20] h3rb_: as I said, you've got to pre-prepare the encrypted devices before entering the installer [03:21] Ok cool TJ but everything on the article is for uefi [03:21] And for single boot [03:21] I have multi boot [03:21] h3rb_: no, it isn't, the article was written using a BIOS install [03:22] h3rb_: but I made it so it will work for either BIOS or UEFI [03:22] Ok awesome let me try it out [03:23] h3rb_: as long as you don't sgdisk --zap-all and wipe out your existing OS you can follow those instructions to create the partitions you DO want rather than the ones I detail [03:23] So If I follow these steps I ll lose my win10 ? [03:24] h3rb_: once you've got your partition(s) created, and LUKS them, and open them, you can add LVM or not (I always recommend it) and once you've followed those steps the installer will pick up the /device/mapper/XXXX devices you have to install into [03:24] h3rb_: If you follow them religiously without thinking - I spell it out there: "First we'll wipe out the existing partitioning metadata from the device DO NOT DO THIS if you are installing alongside existing partitions!" [03:25] Ok cool Thanks TJ really appreciate it! [03:27] h3rb_: I kept it to a single scenario because trying to deal with others would just confuse people as to which instructions applied to them [03:28] h3rb_: it's my intention to delveop other similar tutorials in the future for other scenarios [03:28] Thanks man this was really helpful [03:34] TJ is I dont have libreboot doing all this is pointless correct? [03:34] Hackers can still access my encrypted drive if they wanted to right? [03:35] I just got to know about this from the trisquel irc chat room [03:40] h3rb_: are you encrypting /boot/ where the kernel and initrd are stored, as in my guide/ [03:40] Yes [03:41] h3rb_: you have to trust at some point; the libreboot point is talking about the PC's firmware being malicious. If that is in your threat model you wouldn't use an IBM PC compatible, you'd use something else possibly based on an ARM SoC or MIPS or PowerPC [03:43] Like Raspberry pi? [03:43] h3rb_: yes that is one example :) [03:45] for most people the threat is theft of, or interference with, a PC, so LUKS encryption protects it whilst it is powered off. If you need to protect files whilst it is running you need file-system level encryption such as ecryptfs or encfs [03:47] hello after installing winehq, while running an applicaiton, i m having this error https://kopy.io/i0REg [03:51] (Y) [03:51] :) === [b0b] is now known as b0b [03:57] i have ubuntu 18.04 server. Trying to enable apparmor but getting error "ERROR: Cache read/write disabled: interface file missing. (Kernel needs AppArmor 2.4 compatibility patch.) Warning: unable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts, is it mounted? Use --subdomainfs to override." [03:57] ANyone seen this error? [03:58] anyone familiar with wine? [04:00] hello everyone :) [04:00] i need purple screen help for Ubuntu 19.04 [04:00] not sure if it's ubuntu or just xubuntu, but does anyone know the default screen magnifier package? [04:01] xmag or so [04:03] mallu: are you running a custom built kernel? [04:03] TJ-: no I am not [04:03] any suggestion for me ? [04:03] newbie-chan: is the purple screen at boot and nothing else? [04:03] yeah [04:04] TJ-: Linux ubuntu18-test 4.15.0-51-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 14:27:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:04] newbie-chan: sounds like an Intel microcode update bug a few people have been caught by, let me see if I can find the info on the workaroudn [04:04] !mds [04:04] Microarchitectural Data Sampling is a security issue with Intel processors.

[04:08] mallu: oh, have you installed a snap ? I see those errors caused by server service snaps [04:08] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MnCRRB8KPb/ [04:08] TJ-: I didn't have SNAP installed and was getting an error so I installed it [04:09] TJ-: I can purge snapd if you think thats the root cause [04:09] mallu: I'm looking at a similar issue but not sure how it relates to your situation: https://askubuntu.com/questions/790969/how-do-i-remove-an-incomplete-or-broken-snap-installation-of-nextcloud-on-a-rasp [04:10] TJ-: Let me uninstall snapd [04:10] mallu: are you working in a container or on a regular host? [04:11] TJ-: VMware.. no container [04:11] did u check my paste ? maybe it can help :) [04:11] mallu: because it looks like a privilege issue typical of being confined/restricted [04:11] TJ-: # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/* Profile for /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions not found, skipping Profile for /etc/apparmor.d/apache2.d not found, skipping Setting /etc/apparmor.d/bin.ping to complain mode.

Use --subdomainfs to override. [04:12] mallu: it's a weird one; not something I can recall ever seeing [04:12] TJ-: There is a lxc dir in /etc/apparmor.d/. Should I remove that dir? [04:13] mallu: I doubt that'll help; that'll be for lxc to drop in required rules for its tooling [04:14] TJ-: getting the same error for # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.traceroute [04:15] mallu: you said its VMware; does the hypervisor provide the kernel from outside the guest (like kvm/qemu can do) or is it part of the guest itself [04:15] TJ- i checked ur link and found i've latest packages that are listed :) [04:15] * newbie-chan fresh install power xD [04:16] TJ-: It is part of the guest itself [04:16] newbie-chan: I stay away from those 'optimus' low/high powered GPU systems; they cause nothing but trouble [04:16] i was using Intel Driver on windows :/ [04:17] mallu: OK, so we aren't dealing with some weird kernel issue. I keep finding those errors only in relation to containers/confinement . just found a report inside Docker [04:17] TJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gd6Dw7Jthb/ [04:17] strace [04:18] ubuntu additional driver show nothing :/ [04:20] i remember i did some update which updater give me :/ [04:20] maybe that is how i killed my ubuntu ;( [04:21] TJ-: nothing stand out from strace. I see quite a few complaining about this error but haven't stumbled upon a fix yet [04:22] TJ-: take a look at this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/401927/enabling-apparmor-in-linux [04:23] you think adding CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1 bootloader might fix this issue? [04:27] So I had to power off my laptop and now my packages are broken. Yay. [04:27] "The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:27] python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat : Conflicts: packagekit but 1.1.9-1ubuntu2.18.04.5 is to be installed [04:27] E: Broken packages" [04:28] mallu: not sure, but in your strace this stands out as the source of the following errors: "openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.traceroute0n_1ibop~"" [04:28] Might have to boot my live USB, which is always fun. [04:29] mallu: so I'd check the permission on that directory and files there; compare them with a working installation, see if there are differences [04:29] Is there any way to unbreak my packages? [04:29] One thing I noticed is that I'm still on xenial yet apt is retrieving packages for bionic, which is always a bad sign [04:30] TJ-: I was only trying to enable usr.sbin.traceroute [04:30] all the files are owned by root [04:30] Unfortunately this is the first sever in which I am trying to enable apparmor [04:30] so no server to compare with [04:31] TJ- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in my grub thing if i kill it via GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" may help in my issue? [04:31] mallu: Hmmm, let me see if I have one lying around with it enabled :) [04:32] i think my issue related to my kernal thing [04:34] gonna try \o/ [04:34] cya later [04:34] mallu: the thing that gets me is "lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)" fd 3 is the orginal usr.sbin.traceroute file but it's been unlinked due to "rename("/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.traceroute0n_1ibop~", "/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.traceroute") = 0" ... so not sure what is going on [04:36] mallu: actually no! there's a "close(3)" there before the rename, then there's pipe2([3,4],...) - it looks like the fds are confused, or at least I am! [04:36] mallu: how many CPUs/cores has the guest got? [04:37] TJ-: I think it is working now!! I updated bootloader to automatically enable it [04:37] # apparmor_status apparmor module is loaded. 63 profiles are loaded. 25 profiles are in enforce mode. [04:37] mallu: urgh? you mean the systemd unit for it? [04:39] in the grub I appended apparmor=1 security=apparmor GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1 audit=1 apparmor=1 security=apparmor" [04:40] TJ-: can I ignore this ERROR: /etc/apparmor.d/lxc-containers contains no profile [04:47] mallu: I think so, it seems to be suggesting an empty directory [04:49] thanks TJ- === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [07:08] is there any other burning app besides k3b, brasero, xfburn? [07:09] !burn [07:09] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [07:09] uh, thx [07:09] jack: maybe you can search snaps too, havent test myself [07:10] i rarely dealt with snaps so far [07:19] a few days ago I did apt-get update and noticed that Xorg was being updated. After I rebooted, I was stuck at 1024x768 resolution i installed nvidia-nkms-390 and was able to increase the resolution to 1900x1080 but my steam games like hotline miami which has very low video requirements lags really really bad and my desktop looks like ubuntu 15 or so not the maroon ubuntu 19 desktop [07:20] it has a mac like dock at the bottom [07:20] when I logged in, I logged in under Gnome on Xorg [07:23] devslash: wich kernel and chipset please? [07:26] one second please i am trying to install update nvidia drivers [07:32] gtx750 ti [07:32] im using nvidia 430 drivers went back to 1024x768 res. [07:35] lotuspsychje, [07:37] devslash: i think for a 750 ti the 430 driver is a bit high, wich driver does ubuntu reccomend? ubuntu-drivers list? [07:38] so i rebooted and the resolution is fine now [07:38] oh [07:38] stupid question but is unity the name for the desfault maroon colored ubuntu desktop ? [07:39] devslash: unity is the DE for ubuntu 16.04 [07:39] 19.04 [07:39] i mean for 19.04 [07:44] what is it called [07:44] devslash: im not sure what you talk of? [07:44] when you install ubuntu 19.04 what is the default de [07:45] devslash: gnome3 [07:45] ok [07:45] at the login theres gnome and gome on xorg right ? [07:45] devslash: thats gdm login yeah? [07:46] well my desktop doesnt look like that [07:46] devslash: can you screenshot perhaps? [07:46] it lookslike the old ubuntu with the dock at the bottom [07:46] devslash: have you been upgrading since 16.04 with unity perhaps? [07:47] i dunno [07:47] it used gnome 3 before [07:47] thats how it looked [07:47] before this issue happened [07:47] devslash: there was a recent gnome-shell bug actually, maybe you are on gnome fallback or something? [07:47] i dunno how can i tell [07:48] devslash: screenshot please [07:50] imgur.com/a/CEYN7Mr [07:50] devslash: seems like gnome3 on 19.04 to me [07:51] but my other computer running gnome3 looks totally different [07:52] devslash: gnome3 on 18.10 and higher changed alot from 18.04, theme-wise [07:53] https://imgur.com/a/NgDqXXL [07:53] just a slight difference [07:53] my desktop used to look like this [07:53] devslash: thats just another wallpaper and the dock placed left..

[10:23] !ping [10:23] pong! [10:36] hi, i had two gcc compilers (7 and 4.8.5). I installed 4.8.4 from source and changed the symlink. after changing the symlink back to gcc 7 the gcc version is still 4.8.4. please see https://pastebin.com/4FFH33H4 how to change back to gcc7? [10:41] ldz27: installed how and where? [10:43] blackflow: through gcc sources with ./configure and make [10:43] ldz27: under which prefix? where in the filesystem did you install it? As root under /usr/bin? [10:49] blackflow: sorry, I am no sture. my knowledge about gcc is low. my goal was to get a specific version. I would say inside /usr/local/bin. I set the symlinc to /usr/local/bin/x86_64...gcc-4.8.4. please see https://pastebin.com/3K87ET33 [10:49] *not sure [10:51] I din't set the prefix explicitly [10:53] ldz27: well then you possibly broke your system. if it installed anything to a location outside of /usr/local/ you'll need to figure out what, and how to restore from packages. meanwhile, the symlink from /usr/bin/gcc should be to gcc-7 (in the same dir), on Ubuntu Bionic, I'm not sure at the moment what other versions are currently actively supported. [10:54] and then check what gcc --version says, along with `which gcc` to see which one in the PATH is being used. The supported, packaged, gcc on Ubuntu is /usr/bin/gcc as symlink to specific packaged version [10:58] blackflow: not sure I can follow you. the symlinc is set to gcc-7 but gcc -v shows the 4.8.4. Could you judge how broken the system is? I mean could be enoguht to reinstall the compilers with apt-get? [10:59] ldz27: `which gcc` [11:01] blackflow: ? [11:01] the default one [11:01] ldz27: that's the command you should run. `which gcc`. it shows the effect gcc according to precedences in $PATH [11:02] blackflow: /usr/local/bin/gcc [11:04] is there a easy way to swich to /usr/bin/gcc :)? [11:04] ldz27: right. /usr/local/bin takes precedence in default $PATH on ubuntu. you should remove the gcc installed there. I don't remember the gcc Makefile targets OTOH. Either there's a `make uninstall` target, or you'll have to remove files manually. [11:43] ldz27: of course you can always use the full path to /usr/bin/gcc but that's not gonna help with scripts and Makefiles that don't do that === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde1 === osmanlicilegi is now known as osmanlicilegi|af [12:42] Hi, I'm trying to change the ubuntu lockscreen background. A tutorial I found said to edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css but the first line of that says "generated. DO NOT EDIT" Where is this generated from and how can I generate a new one pointing to a different background image? === osmanlicilegi|af is now known as osmanlicilegi[af === osmanlicilegi[af is now known as osmanlicilegi [12:43] Sysifoss, no need to do that: SystemSettings > Background - [12:48] ioria: Looking at that is says my background and lockscreen are set to the image I want but when I boot the login screen is just purple [12:49] ioria: I realize I said lockscreen originally, whoops, meant loginscreen [12:49] Sysifoss, login screen is different from the lock screen ( i guess) [12:49] ah, ok [12:50] if its not something readily known I dont need to change it. its just aethetics not function [12:50] or easily done* [12:50] Sysifoss, no i think you cannot do it (unless you modified some .css system file, but it's generally not recoomended) [12:51] ioria: gotcha! I definitely dont want to modify stuff that says explicitly not to modify it haha [12:52] Sysifoss, 1) those files will be resetted the next gnome-shell upgrade 2) could make your Desktop session not starting at all [12:54] ioria: good to know. I broke plymouth yesterday and look a while to fix it and only just got my grub/plymouth/tty resolution set properly so I'm not looking to wreck my system. === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde [14:24] I've learned something now [14:25] If you leave tilda full-screen for too long, it might break and leave you unable to access your desktop until tilda is killed === the2048 is now known as the2048_tower [14:53] Oh wow, it's quiet in here! [14:54] thats bcause the support guys here do an awesome job they taught everyone everything htey need to know [14:54] Yeah that's a 100% correct thing [15:01] hello hello [15:01] i have just created a live-usb [15:01] of ubuntu 19 [15:01] but all the time crash [15:01] my machine is a DELL - G5 15 5587 [15:02] there is a set up for the machine that i'm forgetting to do? [15:02] is the first time i have this kind of problem [15:08] ray02, haw did you create the media ? [15:13] ioria: i have another laptop with linux [15:13] ray02, so... with dd ? [15:13] yes i have run this: sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb conv=fdatasync [15:14] ray02, ok, you early said 19 [15:14] but ok [15:14] i have tried with 19.04 and 18.0.4 [15:15] ray02, at what stage does it crash ? do you get to the main menu ? [15:15] the 19 it load the try mode [15:15] but once there i can't do nothing [15:15] the mouse is not moving [15:15] and either the trackpad [15:16] ray02, what video card ? gtx1060 ? [15:16] with 18 i'm arrived to install it on the machine [15:16] but when i do the log in it crash [15:16] it has gtx1050i [15:17] ray02, run memtest86. Might not fix your issue, however bad RAM can cause issues like crashing and stuff [15:17] ok [15:17] let me try [15:17] So it's worthwhile to leave it run memtest86 for about a full day, because it'll take a good while [15:17] It's on the live USB if I remembered right [15:18] ray02, can you quickly try with the 'nomodeset' option ? press F6 [15:18] whad should do the nomodeset? [15:19] *what [15:19] ray02, it helps with the nvidia cards [15:19] ioria: ok [15:20] ioria: after press F6 now after the login the mouse i moving but is still crash [15:21] before i have installed on this machine linux mint [15:21] ray02, you press F6 and select 'nomodeset' [15:21] ah no [15:21] not just press F6 [15:21] there was no menu [15:23] ray02, ok, select 'try mode' then press 'e' [15:24] ray02, sorry, what login ? we are talking about installing right ? [15:25] ray02 she's talking about a boot option [15:25] ray02, or you already have installed ubuntu ? [15:25] ah sorry i didn't get it [15:26] ray02, did you install it or not ? [15:26] i have already try to install ubuntu 18 on my machine [15:26] but when i do the log in it crash [15:26] ray02, do you see the grub screen at start ? [15:26] no [15:27] is to fast [15:27] ray02, reboot, press left shift (or esc), and you'll see something like this : https://www.dell.com/support/article/it/it/itdhs1/sln306327/manual-nomodeset-kernel-boot-line-option-for-linux-booting?lang=en [15:29] ah cool [15:30]
