[00:00] Mr_Cyclops: you can run "apt show PACKAGENAME" to get information on a given packane named PACKAGENAME [00:01] whoami [00:03] tomreyn: I just found https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/create-custom-live-cd-image-cubic-ubuntu/ -- "Cubic" looks to be current at least as of 18.04, and it's working well so far; here's hoping it'll boot [00:03] quit [00:04] hey guys [00:06] i need help ubuntu is taking me to grub menu en they telling me to download b43 something [00:06] allquixotic: i can't comment on it, have seen it before but it's not supported here. [00:07] !details | abdulkarim [00:07] abdulkarim: 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. [00:08] I just partitioned my /dev/sda2 drive with gdisk and now when I boot it goes straight to grub terminal [00:09] tomreyn, tx [00:10] Person341: /dev/sda2 would be a partition, not a drive [00:11] maybe you wrote a new partition table into a partition, thus overwriting some of the data previously stored in this partition? [00:12] but that's just guessing, need more details- === fred is now known as Guest89192 === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK === fred_ is now known as Guest84909 [00:24] tomreyn: I'm aware that Cubic isn't supported here, but the good news is it actually works -- generates a successful Live hybrid ISO that can be `dd`ed to a USB stick, with custom packages! I think the Wiki article you linked is several years out of date and way harder to use. Might want to tell folks in the future to try Cubic if they want a GUI but say it isn't supported here. Anyway, thanks. === maestron1 is now known as maestronolte [00:27] allquixotic: thanks for reporting back. i'll try to remember about cubic. we could discuss this more in #ubuntu-offtopic if you like. === tman79 is now known as tormar === tormar is now known as tman === tman is now known as tormar [01:29] . [01:29] I'm looking for a way to store Steam backups instead of using the slow built in backup in the steam client. I know that simply copying the folders of the installs is the fastest but I would like to have a single file for each game. Tar is way too slow when opening, ISO has a filesize limit. I dont care about compression at all. Any other formats that might fit the bill? [01:30] how can I install kubuntu on a second drive inside of windows 10 [01:30] a stupid fucking game just BSOD'd windows FUCKING 10 [01:32] and without overwriting the windows bootloader === kecthup is now known as kekchup === zbenjamin is now known as Guest67846 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:37] jesus are you all fucking in a coma or something [01:38] it is a holiday in the USA [01:38] some people also actually have lives and dont spent all their time on irc lol [01:38] why dont they just make every day a holiday [01:38] and be done with it [01:39] IRC also has a command called /part [01:41] !language | kekchup [01:41] kekchup: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [01:41] I dont care about religion son [01:41] hey, can someone tell me what the hell is canonical trying to do with ubuntu? why are they trying to impose snap at all costs? [01:42] im 28 and will use whatever words I want. I have not insulted anyone here [01:42] also, do ubuntu devs don't even care about the users anymore? why do updates keep overwriting my system stuff and not even leaving backups? [01:43] how can I download the ISO [01:43] what I have here is some folders [01:43] hmm [01:43] oh wait it did [01:43] windows just mounted it [01:44] ok ok [01:45] but I still dont see an exe to click to install === Flexman is now known as Guest68602 [01:54] kekchup, after seeing your language I stopped reading what you wrote.. it may be the same with others (didn't your Mum tell you get more with honey, not vinegar) [01:54] yeah then I fucking stabbed her to death [02:05] pepee, have you considered articulating any problems you've had with Ubuntu into a bug report against the relevant packages, so the developers are aware of them? [02:07] ec0, have you thought that I'm not criticizing any specific packages, but rather, the direction canonical is trying to give ubuntu? [02:08] Ubuntu is a community project [02:08] AFAIU, canonical is a private company [02:08] Canonical funds a lot of the infrastructure behind Ubuntu, and pays a bunch of the developers [02:09] You don't need to work for Canonical to contribute to Ubuntu however [02:09] and I don't think users asked for, say, snap, or to stop supporting 32b applications, or to stop using unity... [02:09] lol [02:09] Unity is open source, you can pick it up as a side project if you want [02:09] apt remote snapd [02:09] *remove [02:10] I mean, I don't care about unity, but, say, why not use KDE? [02:10] like, kubuntu say? [02:10] yep [02:10] I think if you need specific help with something, there's a ton of people here happy to help [02:12] you know snap will become the default package manager in the future, right? [02:12] ec0, you don't need to defend stupid decisions like that just because you like ubuntu [02:12] and where did you read that? [02:12] also, kubuntu is NOT kubuntu, which is why I said unity could have been replaced by KDE [02:12] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/package-management-default-snap [02:12] err, *kubuntu is NOT ubuntu [02:14] it sounds like a proposal... that doesn't mean it'll be implemented. [02:14] is there any reason to prefer installing ubuntu 19 over 18.04? [02:14] I don't think they're stupid decisions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [02:14] pi123, 18.04 will get support for longer [02:14] being an LTS [02:15] is that good or bad? [02:15] i'm just a humble user [02:15] pi123: LTS if you have no reason to have major upgrades twice a year. [02:15] so for a server system or similar where upgrading the OS might be disruptive, you may consider using the LTS [02:15] pi123: that's how i look at it. [02:17] ok [02:17] pepee: though really, this is nothing new. they've been pushing ubuntu specific software for ages. most of the time it ends up being abandoned. upstart, mir, unity to name a few. [02:17] also are any of the kubuntu, lubuntu, XYZbuntu things officially ubuntu or no? [02:18] pi123: only if it's an official flavor. anything else are 3rd party derivatives (Mint, etc). [02:18] I mean, judging by how the system suggests using snap instead of apt... [02:18] also, this seems to be a really old idea http://www.webupd8.org/2015/04/ubuntu-desktop-to-eventually-switch-to.html [02:19] pepee: i only saw a proposal from one person. it doesn't mean they'll actually do it. notice it hasn't been approved and appears to have been dormant for the last 6 months. [02:19] pi123, what I meant is, ubuntu could use KDE as default DE instead of GNOME [02:20] though i guess a few ubuntu projects have survived (apparmor) [02:20] wikipedia says Kubuntu is an officially sponsored by Canonical ubuntu [02:21] it is, after some drama canonical had with the leader of the kubuntu project [02:22] (the one that left some years ago) [02:25] I belive these are the offical Ubuntu flavors: https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours [02:25] Hi guys, just trying to check if I'm making an error or not. I'm trying to follow the installation guide here (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/snips/). I've added the source list, updated through apt-get update, but the line "sudo apt-get install -y snips-platform-voice" says there's no package available. Should I have changed anything in the third step for Ubuntu? [02:32] gimmel: which ubuntu release are you running? [02:34] tomreyn: 19.04 [02:39] i don't see any indication that they provide Ubuntu packages [02:40] tomreyn: indication in the tutorial? Or have you checked elsewhere? [02:41] both [02:44] gimmel: the tuorial you pointed to seems to target raspian. [02:47] tomreyn: The snips developers have this page -> https://docs.snips.ai/articles/other-platforms/linux-amd64. The intro paragraph says Ubuntu 16 and up, but then the source list added seems debian specific. Would I need to change the source that is added in step 3? [02:51] gimmel: i suggest you get help from them, since this is outside the scope of what we support here [02:51] if you have questions about ubuntu itself, or even about adding thrid party apt repositories in general, we can help === [b0b] is now known as b0b === ^ is now known as [ === [ is now known as ^ === ^ is now known as [ [03:14] tomreyn: Thanks, I'm aware of the scope of this channel.

[07:58] oh right, so I'm having a few issues. I can rarely get the installer to come up. I was able to get ubuntu installed once but b/c of the graphics chip the os crashes when it boots. I want to reinstall ubuntu with the driver preloaded but I don't know how to do that and I am having issue getting the installer to load. When I get the installer the `try kubuntu` option crashes. [07:59] I've read that I have use `acpi=off` and `nouveau.modeset=0` in grub to be able to boot [07:59] Snorghma: what kind of graphics card chipset do you have there? [07:59] the chipset is geforce gtx 1060 [08:00] Snorghma: ah, those need a !nomodeset to get in, then reccomended after the ubuntu graphics ppa to install a newer driver [08:00] I can boot into windows fine but I'd like to purge windows [08:00] !nvidia | Snorghma [08:00] Snorghma: For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto .

[14:42] time to close that columecontrol first [14:42] c/volumecontrol [14:42] right, that's be a good idea [14:43] shonhadow: ^ [14:43] tomreyn, its same as the image i sent\ [14:43] shonhadow: closing the volume control window may enable the installation to complete, though [14:44] you seem to have someonehow managed to open pavucontrol while it was still installing. [14:45] or maybe it just looks as if, due to how i queued the commands i provided. [14:45] tomreyn, terminal ended at "Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ..." [14:46] on opening the pavuvontrol via terminal it says establishing connection [14:46] either way, close the "volume control" window, then do the journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 and post the url it returns, then run pavucontrol again [14:46] shonhadow, no, it did not ended .. i see no prompt [14:47] how odd, still not closing that window..? [14:47] OerHeks: here's what i had asked shonhadow to run earlier: sudo apt update && sudo apt install pavucontrol && pavucontrol [14:47] so there would be no prompt [14:48] oh missed that part, && pavucontrol [14:49] tomreyn, https://termbin.com/ob71 [14:50] shonhadow: thanks, unfortunatley it's not complete. can you run: dmesg | tail -n 500 | nc termbin.com 9999 and post this url as well [14:51] tomreyn, https://termbin.com/wd6y [14:51] systemctl status pulseaudio.service [14:53] this doesn't exist on my system, OerHeks [14:53] tomreyn, volume control is of no use.closing it for now [14:54] ok [14:55] shonhadow: please post: pactl list | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:56] shonhadow: also this: pactl info | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:05] tomreyn, Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused [15:05] shonhadow: by the way, your ufw (firewall) seems to be configured to block its own DNS queries. [15:05] well, the systems' [15:05] should i switch it off for that [15:06] you should configure it not to block those if you intend to use it. [15:06] and yes, it may help to temporariyl disable the firewall while you're trying to make pulseaudio work [15:08] still the same result [15:08] does it require sudo? [15:08] what is "it"? [15:09] sudo pactl list | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:10] no [15:10] shonhadow: can you reboot the system with ufw off? [15:10] okay [15:11] Hi, I installed alsa on Ubuntu Server get this from my mpv output. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FZVPZbhC3F/ [15:11] there is alsa-utils which i installed too [15:11] alsamixer can't find a mixer === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [15:15] Helenah2: you wrote this in #ubuntu-server: "I'm use Ubuntu Server even for desktop systems." - this may mean you're lacking some required packages. which (graphical) desktop environment are you using there? [15:17] tomreyn, still the same output(Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused) [15:19] I installed ubuntu 18.04 on my desktop at work and it says dummy output for sound, but I'm sure there is onboard sound chip [15:21] shonhadow: okay but let'S try this now: journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:23] stoned: i won't be able to help right now but this is how you can gather more information: cd; wget https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [15:32] tomreyn: I'm not using a DE. [15:33] I'm using i3wm [15:33] Why would I install Ubuntu Desktop when I would have to purge unity and install i3wm when I can just install Ubuntu Server and install what i need? [15:35] because it would ensure you have all the packages installed you'd need for audio. [15:35] tomreyn: I also don't want to be using display manager? [15:35] *managers [15:35] but other than that i'm surel ynot planning to push you towards anything [15:36] I'm pretty sure we can get to the bottom of this on just Ubuntu Server. [15:37] personally, i did enough sound debugging for today, but you may well be able to find some other volunteer who'll help out. i suggest you start by posting the output of a current alsa-info.sh [15:38] Okay :) [15:40] shonhadow: nothing from you, and i need to take a break, ttyl [15:41] http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=712c0c1e38ac7f82fe840ed761154e870e3675e3 [15:41] tomreyn: Cya soon! :) [15:49] Help please. I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade fails. The error is "Errors were encountered while processing: udev xserver-xorg-core smapd " Can I get assistance fixing my errors? [15:51] MannyLNJ: apt-get update only updates your package cache, the error you got from upgrade is unrelated to the cache. [15:54] Question ... my computer here is running Ubuntu 16.04 and works quite well, however my monitor is not being detected (Unknown monitor) ... so my resolution is low (1280x768). [15:55] Is there some advice on how to increase the size, a web page or some tips? [15:55] MannyLNJ, thats the only error/warning you get after trying apt? I suspect that it helps people to help if you pastebin the entire apt output lines. [15:59] tomreyn: ok, I got the info, which matches alsamixer info as well. I installed pavucontrol but no luck yet. Do I need to reboot? [16:04] DOSfan: If you know what your monitor's native resolutions and timings are, this article may help you in setting them manually: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/04/custom-screen-resolution-ubuntu-desktop/ [16:06] tomreyn, thanks for assist till now.problem not solved yet.would you like to proceed further? [16:08] Ok [16:09] I rebooted after pavu control and now sound is ok i think [16:09] Yes, sound is okay now! === ZombieLyoko is now known as CodeLyoko [16:12] DanDare, https://pastebin.com/rnRgZs52 [16:22] MannyLNJ, apt-cache policy udev [16:23] stoned: I wish my audio was fixed :( [16:26] is there a way to install Ubuntu in bulk via network like Windows is done for large installs? [16:27] they need a program named the bulkinator [16:28] metal as a service, maas.io [16:30] hmmm === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [16:44] does anyone know how to install from command line? [16:44] How to start installation of Ubuntu 18 desktop from the command line [16:45] Once ISO is loaded and I switch tty and login with 'ubuntu' and get a shell prompt. [16:45] seanrdev, why? the iso gives a graphical installer [16:54] OerHeks: I understand but the cheap crappy system I am installing it on seems to make the OS thing there is multiple screens connected. So I only see the left side of the screen and the installer is on the right. [16:54] *think [16:55] Sorry.. I only see the right side of the screen and the installer is on the left [16:55] seanrdev: Remove the extra monitor connections ... you can add them later [16:55] pragmaticenigma: There are no extra monitor connections guys. It's only one HDMI connection [16:56] Why.... Is it impossible to install via command line? [16:56] seanrdev: The Desktop ISO does not come with that ability, the assumption is that if you are installing the Desktop ISO, you have graphical capabilities [17:00] interesting. [17:02] Hi guys. Recently my HDD had some bad clusters and sectors causing me some trouble. I ordered a new 2tb sata drive for a replacement. What would you all recommend I do with it? Just format it with the installer or is there other things I should do? [17:02] My speakers don't work until I run `pulseaudio -D` or `pulseaudio -k` all the time. [17:02] !nomodeset | seanrdev: maybe try booting with nomodeset ? [17:02] seanrdev: maybe try booting with nomodeset ?: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [17:02] What can I do to avoid this? [17:03] acetakwas, silence or static? [17:03] lordcirth: What does that mean? [17:03] acetakwas, sorry, when you say it "doesn't work", are your speakers totally silent, or full of static? [17:04] On the Pulse Audio Volume Control interface, I see: "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." [17:04] lordcirth: silent. [17:04] No sound. [17:04] seanrdev, also maybe check the bios setup screens to see if there's some config for active monitor ports. [17:05] It happens every time I startup my computer, then I have to run `pulseaudio -D` before sound starts working. [17:05] Also, I use i3. [17:07] oh, tons of howto's for i3wm howto start pulse propperly [17:07] exec --no-startup-id i3-msg 'exec /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start' [17:08] OerHeks: Many thanks. === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [17:11] Thanks guys I will look at all the above. [17:13] what the heck? [17:13] how can I restart the xinput system? [17:14] occasionally I can't type a letter and have to reboot the whole damn os [17:16] Oderus: there's nothing else you need to do to prepare it. you can run a short or long !smart self test on it, but you can still do that later (and it actually makes more sense later). an ssd might have been a better choice than a hdd, unless you need much storage for cheap. [17:17] I heard ssd do not last as long [17:18] that's not really true. data on it might perish if not rewritten every couple of years. [17:18] Oderus, all storage devices fail and should be redundant if they hold anything important. [17:18] is this os a wacko or what [17:19] how can it randomly make a key unresponsive [17:19]
