=== Videonauth_ is now known as Videonauth [00:08] I have a retarded problem. Changed the local domain on my dhcp scope on the router, and ubuntu networking is now netnotworking. I'm only here because I have a freenas box with a quasselcore instance. [00:08] reverted scope change, went with static ip, and no changes [00:09] I can't connect to anything outside my local network [00:10] Is there a way in the cli to completely obliterate any network settings and force the setup wizard to fire up to rebuild them from scratch? [00:15] CatPasswd: try asking in ##linux, if there is no responce in #ununtu. [00:17] which setup wizard actually? which ubuntu version and variant is being used there? [00:18] anyone know what's going on here? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20369902 [00:18] !discuss | ExoUNX [00:18] ExoUNX: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [00:18] 18.04 [00:19] straight ubuntu desktop. Whatever the default was on the download site [00:19] Linux eris 4.18.0-25-generic #26~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 27 07:28:31 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:19] so a desktop, i assume? [00:20] Well yes [00:20] so using network-manager? and you want to remove network manager profiles? [00:21] maybe you just need to dhclient [00:22] changed to a static IP. That's what I'm doing now [00:22] CatPasswd: lets try starting with just dhcp [00:23] CatPasswd: reboot and what happens when it reconnects? do you get an ip? Do you get a default route? Do you get a nameserver? [00:23] nameserver is my router IP, in the dhcp scope [00:24] And yes. I pick up all the settings using dhcp [00:24] CatPasswd: can you ping the default route? [00:24] CatPasswd: is the default route the ip of your router? [00:24] yes. I can even use the webui to manage the router [00:24] 192.168.2.1 [00:24] CatPasswd: ok, can you ping 1.1.1.1? [00:25] yep [00:25] CatPasswd: ok, can you ping google.com? [00:25] there's something cached somewhere that needs to be scrubbed [00:25] no. Can't do a lookup [00:26] ping: www.google.com: Name or service not known [00:26] CatPasswd: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(host google.com 1.1.1.1) [00:27] nc: getaddrinfo for host "termbin.com" port 9999: Name or service not known [00:28] CatPasswd: nmcli device show|egrep -i "domain|dns" [00:28] IP4.DNS[1]: 192.168.2.1 [00:29] that it? [00:29] That's it. Same for everything else that connects on my network [00:30] It's an asus ac88u running entware and pixelsrv-tls [00:30] and everything else on your network is working correctly? [00:30] yep [00:31] I was just browsing around on my tablet [00:31] CatPasswd: what nameserver does your tablet have? [00:31] It's assigned by the DHCP scope on the router. 192.168.2.1 [00:32] CatPasswd: you confirmed what it's nameserver is as opposed to just assuming which one it got assigned right? [00:32] I just rebooted it twice, making sure it was working after the local domain change in the dhcp scope, and after reverting the change. [00:33] but I'll look again [00:34] CatPasswd: "host google.com 1.1.1.1" just confirm it can resolve that. Then try "host google.com 192.168.2.1" [00:34] Yeah, picked up the reverted settings fine [00:34] CatPasswd: the domain is only for local lookups. Not anything routed over the internet [00:35] That's why this problem has me stumped. Changing that should not have broken the route out [00:35] and yeah, it can see google. [00:35] google.com has address 172.217.164.142 [00:36] CatPasswd: with both using 1.1.1.1 and 192.168.2.1? [00:36] yes [00:36] Using domain server: [00:36] Name: 192.168.2.1 [00:36] Address: 192.168.2.1#53 [00:36] Aliases: [00:36] google.com has address 172.217.4.46 [00:37] please use pastebin [00:37] but "ping google.com" fails? [00:37] I can't... [00:37] :) [00:37] ping: google.com: Name or service not known [00:37] Maddening, isn't it [00:38] CatPasswd: can you take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf [00:38] $ echo hello_world | nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [00:38] https://termbin.com/q4te [00:39] ah, good idea tomreyn [00:39] I believe the relevant line is this one - hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname mdns4_minimal [00:39] I'm so happy. Turns out this version of ubuntu is amazing for this laptop's battery life. [00:40] I'm back up to around 6-8 hours. [00:41] CatPasswd: nc 5.39.93.71 9999 < <(cat /etc/nsswitch.conf ; host google.com 1.1.1.1 ; host google.com ; ping -c1 google.com) [00:41] https://termbin.com/m921 [00:42] howdy [00:43] CatPasswd: you have to entries for hosts: in your /etc/nsswitch.conf [00:43] Would adjusting latency in pavucontrol fix audio/video sync issues with webcam recordings? The video is always a fraction of a second behind the audio. [00:43] I believe the relevant line is this one - hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname mdns4_minimal [00:43] CatPasswd: sure, you still have 2 hosts: entries at the end of the file [00:43] Haven't touched the file, so I assume that's the default setting [00:44] There's only one line in there that starts with hosts: [00:44] oh wait, hold on [00:45] hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname [00:45] that is my entry [00:45] mine, too [00:46] right. I'll swap the order [00:47] And now I can ping www.google.com [00:48] everything work fine now? [00:48] Browser works after a restart too [00:48] seems to be [00:49] I swear I never messed with the order in that file. No idea how that happened. [00:49] ubuntu 18.04 server has: hosts: files dns [00:50] wine apps work. Discord connects. [00:51] tomreyn: weird thing, those 2 entries I mentioned are on my system [00:52] https://termbin.com/5tlv [00:52] leftyfb: what's weird? that server has something else than desktop (i find this weird), or that CatPasswd had a different order of records than you and me on the desktop? [00:53] It's a pretty fresh install, maybe 2-3 weeks old [00:53] tomreyn: that my workstation has 2 additional entries for hosts: [00:53] And I made no custom entries in nsswitch.conf [00:54] Is there an official repo for php7.3 in Ubuntu 18.04? [00:54] leftyfb: oh i missed those [00:54] leftyfb: this looks like some automatism placed them there? [00:54] like, deployment scripts? [00:55] or some software which just wanted to "make sure the system is setup properly" [00:55] tomreyn: just checked, not the ansible playbook I usually run for work [00:55] !info php7 bionic | ExoUNX [00:55] ExoUNX: Package php7 does not exist in bionic [00:56] tomreyn: no biggie, as long as it works for me. At least I know they're there if there's ever any issues I can always start there [00:56] !info php7.2 bionic | ExoUNX [00:56] ExoUNX: php7.2 (source: php7.2): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 9 kB, installed size 84 kB [00:56] !info php7.3 bionic | ExoUNX [00:56] ExoUNX: Package php7.3 does not exist in bionic [01:00] what is the current story with hybrid graphics? [01:01] I can swap gpus with nvidia-xconfig but it seems like I need to run a new instance of x in order to use the GPU. [01:01] CatPasswd: how did you do that install? [01:07] when I boot xenial on my netbook, the font in the initramfs shell is too tiny to easily read it. is there a kernel option to force a low screen resolution or sth.? [01:13] GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=WxHxB in /etc/default/grub [01:13] looks like even making casper-rw world-writable won't help as long as it's on ext3 or ext4. it works fine on a fat32 partition. I wonder why? [01:13] Where do I talk about ARM Ubuntu? [01:13] #ubuntu-arm [01:14] or here [01:14] How do I submit things to the repos? [01:19] tfgbd_: either through debian or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [01:21] also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu#Maintaining_Ubuntu [01:21] I'm not packaging it up. Someone else can. [01:22] it probably won't make it in a repo unless enough people find it useful then [01:22] debain has a concept of "request for packaging" where you open a bug report asking for a software to be maintained by someone [01:23] Why can't the developer maintain it? [01:24] you just said you didn't want to package it [01:24] packages need to be maintained by someone. [01:24] there's also !snaps [01:24] and !PPA s [01:24] !snaps [01:24] Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage. For more info, see https://snapcraft.io [01:25] !ppa [01:25] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [01:25] I dunno. I just want someone to test it first. [01:25] The developer got mad that I could even compile it [01:25] t? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === dbasinge is now known as dbasinge_ === dbasinge_ is now known as dbasinge [02:23] anyone care to remind me how things are done when one has to copy a working install inside some LVM containers? [02:23] starting with my home dir... it's going now [02:32] ummm. okay i just remounted my home copy over top of where my home used to be, after renaming the old one [02:32] what problems am i seeing? reports of hexchat logs being unreadable [02:32] i can delete it now right?? [02:35] yikes no. i mounted it wrong [02:40] bah. what a pain. next time log out before twiddling the home dir [02:43] What is the "equivelent" to this on Ubuntu? https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewpocket.php#downloads [02:44] well i don't know what that does [02:44] but you might as well use gimp [02:44] since it's free and as good as photoshop, mostly [02:44] Does it do batch image conversion on my CF card in minutes? [02:44] i don't know [02:45] !gimp | tfgbd_ [02:45] tfgbd_: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [02:45] i'm sure it does batch image conversion. i recommend against doing anything on a CF card without copying the data off first [02:45] I think you're just thinking of debian [02:46] https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/ [02:48] https://www.xnview.com/assets/img/screenshots/xnview-win-01.png [02:48] please stop posting random links and contradicting everything someone says in reply. someone is going to think you're a troll [02:50] I just didn't see it [02:50] But they don't have rpi [02:50] what are you even talking about [02:52] Raspberry Pi ARM32/64 [02:52] oh. you might not want to run gimp on an rPi [02:53] Why not? [02:53] Doesn't it port right? [02:53] i would think it's a little resource heavy [02:54] I would think not. [02:54] It ran on machines with 256mb and XP, remember [02:54] alright then. give it a go and tell us how it works [02:56] I'll try it on my new AARCH64 "development board" [02:56] It's just apt-get install gimp2, right [02:56] uh, i think so [02:56] how did i even install it :/ i think i used software center [02:57] jeeze did that pull a snap? === [b0b] is now known as b0b [02:57] yes :'( [03:01] Not everyone can afford to wait for software center [03:01] i rather dislike it myself [03:02] but i do like having a list of stuff to browse rather than having to know the exact spelling and version of a package [03:03] i think if i want to copy my bood drive to a new place, i have to boot from a liveUSB [03:04] how does one copy a partition from a bare metal drive into a new LV? dd ?? [03:04] gparted [03:06] i don't think that supports nested luks and LVM containers [03:20] insane. After applying a few tweaks I'm looking at 8-10 hours battery life with a 15% degredation in battery capacity from origina. [03:48] Gallomimia: i usually mount both filesystems and rsync [03:52] yikes. lightning. and i'm without a UPS [03:52] maybe it won't be happening tonight [03:52] resixian, that's enough to solidify a full install? [04:08] lightning in a totally flat area with no proper surge arrest. i feel naked [04:11] Question: I have a ubuntu 18.04 box that i have set up just the way i like it, but i want to make the machine dual boot with windows 7 to run certain games. is there a way to install windows without losing the ubuntu install and have a bootloader where i can choose [04:11] ? [04:23] If I write an ISO file to a USB stick with dd - shouldn't it be readable on a Windows machine too? Not bootable. Just readable. It reads fine on my Ubuntu box, and my Sony Blu-ray player, but not my Windows machine. I suspect something must be wrong with my Windows machine? [04:24] is there a cmd that can stat or ls a dir that can grep a list of files not touched in say - years? that can output to a txt file? or, grep it to another cmd that will just del what it got piped? [04:28] mika`: check out what 'find' can do [04:33] aye. i just didn't know if there was a good pipe thingy. ( i not a programmer / coder ) [04:36] sudo18, yes. the ubuntu installer does that just fine. usually you install windows then ubuntu. [04:37] mr_lou, windows doesn't have any default way to read ext4 devices. so. no, it shouldn't be readable. yes there's something wrong with the windows machine (its running windows) [04:37] There is a driver for ext3 [04:38] Gallomimia, No no, it's not ext4 iso. It's actually an ISO that was made on Windows years ago. [04:38] is it installed by default? [04:38] Does Wubi still work? [04:38] oh. iso, should be readable. it's readable with the ubuntu machine? [04:38] Yes. And my Blu-ray player. [04:38] i read the rest.... okay [04:38] iso file, as in cd/dvd format [04:39] Yes [04:39] Just a CD ISO written to a USB. [04:39] Windows won't read it. [04:39] (And if you wanna compete in who mates Windows the most, I will win). [04:39] *hates [04:39] Gallomimia: i understand what usually is done. i'm asking if there's a way to do it where ubuntu is left alone as the main os and then i can install windows along side it? or do i need to make an image of the ubuntu install as it is now, format and clean install windows, THEN install ubuntu and restore from the image (obviously i'm trying to avoid the latter and just slide windows on in dual [04:39] boot fashion) [04:40] ah well. that's probably debatable. i was an apple fanboi for 25 years [04:40] I have never liked Windows ever. [04:40] sudo18, you'll have to check on what type of partition style your drive is [04:40] On suspend will ubuntu hibernate after a while rather than drain the battery? [04:40] i hated it since win3.1 [04:40] I used Amiga while everyone else embraced Windoze. [04:40] !ot [04:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:40] i don't think a suspended system can spontaneously hibernate [04:42] So in conclusion, there's no special attribute I neeed to give dd in order for such an iso to work on Windows, right? I thought maybe I had to use a certain blocksize, but it doesn't seem to make any changes. [04:42] let me think here.... can windows 7 be installed on a GPT drive? i'm not sure. but once you determine your partition table is compatible with windows, make the partition you want, install windows, come back to ubuntu and then a simple grub-update should do the trick [04:43] if it's not, then yes, you'd have to image your install, reformat the drive, and then do as you wrote sudo18 [04:44] mr_lou, they don't like us hating on windows in here, or talking about windows-only issues [04:45] Well it's Ubuntu related. I want to be able to write these ISO's on Ubuntu - but they gotta work on Windows. I can understand ext4 and udf iso's not being readable, but not "normal" ISO's. [04:46] So something must be wrong with this particular windoze machine. Gotta test on other ones. [04:47] that's rather odd if you ask me. especially if it runs on an appliance [04:50] how big would any of you suggest the root fs of a disco-dingo install should be? /home and all other large data filesystems will be separate LV's [04:50] my xerus and trusty tahr volumes are 16gigs but it looks like my disco dingo one is already 16.8 [04:53] 8.3 gigs in /var why is this?? [04:53] var= logs [04:54] 4 gigs of logs is a lot of logs [04:54] 3.1g in lib/snapd [04:54] lame. [04:55] any suggestions on how to reduce this? [04:56] cd snaps [04:56] oops [04:56] seems to be keeping old versions? [04:57] Gallomimia: uninstall snaps, clear logs, clean system with bleachbit [04:57] some of the software i'd really rather keep, in spite of their handicapped way of managing disk space [04:58] Gallomimia: this isnt the complaints channel [04:58] Gallomimia: keep software = more disk space? [04:59] right. it's the place where you ask how to do things. how do i clean out the old versions without willy-nilly typing sudo rm [04:59] Gallomimia: old versions of what [04:59] snaps [05:00] reading this dir shows me there's a duplicate of pretty much everything i have installed [05:00] Gallomimia: there's no such thing as old snap version, you have the snap installed, or not [05:00] Gallomimia: snaps auto update themselfs [05:02] https://pastebin.com/JGzw25AV [05:02] can they kindly auto remove the old version too? [05:05] can g++-multilib be installed ontop of gcc-multilib [05:06] as i get g++-multilib : Depends: gcc-multilib (>= 4:5.3.1-1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed [05:08] lotuspsychje, its funny how you say the old versions aren't a problem, and yet i'm looking at a list of old versions sitting on my system, and how-to's on this are a popular search on google. [05:11] Gallomimia: what you pasted, is just an installed snap list... [05:28] lotuspsychje: snapd keeps last two versions around tho [05:29] (of each snap installed) [05:29] default is three, according to what i'm reading [05:29] the minimum is 2 if you change it. i'm still trying to delete the older one. [05:29] not sure you can [05:30] the script to do so is published by a community manager with ubuntu engineering at canonical [05:30] which i think is telling of how there's still some kinks to be ironed out. [05:30] it says on it to "close all snaps" before running. i can't for the life of me figure out how [05:31] Gallomimia: with `snap remove --revision=` then? [05:31] yeah i'm not doing that 50 times [05:31] i have a computer to iterate over repetitive tasks [05:32] seems i didn't need to close any [05:32] just worked fine [05:32] you don't have to close _all_ the snaps, just the one you're removing old revisions of [05:32] however, some you can't, like gnome stuff, unless you go to multi-user.target first [05:33] it seems like there's two versions of the gnome-3 and i think it's because of dependencies [05:35] what's /var/log/journal ?? [05:35] seems a bit insane that i have 4 gigs in there [05:35] Gallomimia: journald's (configurable) persistent storage [05:35] Gallomimia: `man journald.conf` and adjust SystemMaxUse [05:35] hah. i know what those words all mean, but... i understand zero more than i did before you wrote that :) [05:36] journald is the systemd event logger. like syslog but much more advanced, and core component of systemd [05:37] it can store logs just in memory or on disk too (and/or forward it to old rsyslog as well, which is default), and when it's configured to store on disk (default) that's where the database is. [05:37] logs are good. [05:37] i have to reconsider where i want it put tho. [05:37] maybe i just put all of /var on its own fs [05:38] I use journald only as temporary, in-memory logs, using no more than 100MB, then forwards to rsyslog where I like it for long term archive. [05:39] Gallomimia: I'd advise don't redesign the fs layout until you're 100% sure you know what you're doing and what is using the dirs you wanna partition. systemd will have serious issues on boot otherwise. [05:39] keeping it only in memory seems counterproductive to diagnosing crash problems [05:40] Gallomimia: depends. with forwarding to syslog, you don't lose anything. [05:40] that's good advice. i suppose some of the log files might not be mounted during boot? [05:41] my goal is to bring the root fs down to fit inside the area i had set aside for various installs. older versions [05:41] there were 2 LV's of 16gig each [05:42] Gallomimia: you can adjust how long/much journald keeps around via journald.conf [05:42] infact, you can adjust its memory use and persistent storage use, separately. [05:43] does ubuntu support ARM64? [05:44] !arm64 | tfgbd_ [05:44] aw i thought it would be that easy [05:45] !arm | tfgbd_ [05:45] tfgbd_: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [05:45] tfgbd_: yes, there's aarch64 ISOs to download [05:46] (and ARMv8) [05:49] For this? [05:49] https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-12-Inch-Qualcomm-Snapdragon-81F10001US/dp/B07C8BJ1NT [05:51] If a system kernal panicked I'd expect to see it in journalctl these days right? [05:52] tfgbd_: apparently there's only the server edition. I don't know if that means there aren't arm64 packages to install for GUI [05:52] Does it matter if the kernal panics? Don [05:52] Don't you just have to start a new instance? [05:52] latteiscoffee: that or through rsyslog'd files, assuming the panic wasn't such that it didn't get logged. [05:52] it's usually something you want to figure out why, and avoid in the future [05:53] blackflow: Odd... got a server that keeps rebooting every 3-4 days and nothing in the logs about it [05:53] I need to run some x86 xserver to run the gui on my Ubuntu server on AARCH64 Windows 10 [05:53] latteiscoffee: you can configure kernel to crash dump (there's a package for it iirc) and then inspect the dump with gdb on next boot [05:54] or... not gdb but some dedicated tools. it's been a while since I did that so I forgot the deets. [05:54] Ahhh I will give that a go, cheers! [05:54] at this point, it sounds like you don't even know if its some kind of soft shutdown, a kernel panic, or something goofy with the provider. is it a VM? [05:55] latteiscoffee: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html [05:55] Yeah it's a linode VM, so I'm hesistant to point at hardware [05:55] just trying to narrow down the cause a bit first [05:55] you're running it on your own hardware? [05:55] _linode_ [05:55] Nah, it's running on linode [05:55] wow i've been disconnected from the world for too long [05:55] latteiscoffee: do you know if it's kvm or they still use patched, extrenal-kernel, xen? [05:56] if the latter, you can blame HW just fine :)) [05:56] I've noticed my brightness up/down hotkeys generate button/f20 in acpi_listen, the same as microphone mute (which ubuntu shows visually as well). Any ideas how I can find the source of the duplicate event? I've tried playing with debug_level and debug_layer values, but couldn't find anything useful. Also wasn't sure what to look for in acpidump [05:56] and acpixtract [05:56] KVM from last year I believe] [05:56] this VM has only been up a month or two [05:56] so it *should* be KVM... but I will double check [05:57] latteiscoffee: can you inspect the serial console when it crashes? [05:57] Does ARM support JVM? [05:57] if there's a panic, the kernel would dump stuff there and you might see the trace [05:57] Yeah it is KVM: systemd[1]: Detected virtualization kvm. [05:57] Ahhhh [05:57] ofc [05:57] will check, they reboot automatically [05:57] even through the virtual console, but that only shows last X lines you can't scroll up [05:58] so I'm unsure if it'll have been wiped by now [05:59] latteiscoffee: I don't use linode but OVH, and not VMs but dedicated machines. at OVH I can attach serial console over ethernet (there's a java based web thingy they have), and thus keep the full console output logged. if linode offers the same nowadays (because it doesn't mattre if its' VM or baremetal), that's where I'd start. [05:59] Alright I will stop it rebooting automatically and see if I can catch something... get the dumptools installed as well, cheers guys [06:00] Does linode offer ARM? [06:00] I also grepped the decompiled DSDT and SSDT files and found there are WMI related GUIDs.. I wasn't sure how to debug / capture WMI events though to see if they are responsible for my laptop generating a button/F20 event in acpi_listen :\ [06:00] I didn't see an ARM offering... I used an interesting ARM offering in France when ARM servers were first being released though [06:00] think they shut down now ... :) [06:01] backflow i'm reading those man pages on the journald.conf. does it accept values with suffixes? like 500M? [06:01] When were they first being relased? [06:01] it's so verbose and yet doesn't say that [06:02] like early 2010's? There was a provider that started doing ARM servers when everything else was still on AMD64 [06:02] really cheap too iirc [06:03] Why does RAM size say 128 GB for my "ARM Server" [06:03] !ot [06:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:03] you sure like using that command lotuspsychje [06:03] latteiscoffee: lets talk in #ubuntu-arm [06:05] okay i think i'll go to sleep. got my log files tidied up thanks blackflow [06:10] trying to get bumblebee working (dell precision 5530, nvidia quadro p1000). currently the gpu runs and then cant be disabled because nvidia_drm cannot be unloaded. [06:11] I'd assume that my current session uses the card instead of the integrated intel one. Thus, unloading cannot work. === rax-Y is now known as rax- [06:26] are there alternatives to using bumblebee? [06:26] chaosfisch: bumblebee isnt the way to go anymore, for optimus cards its using nvidia-prime now [06:26] chaosfisch: that gets installed togheter with your nvidia driver [06:29] lotuspsychje ok, will have a loo [06:29] chaosfisch: start with: ubuntu-drivers list to see wich driver is for your card === chaosfisch64 is now known as chaosfisch [06:40] tds: Off a usb stick. Installed to a small ssd. Accepted the defaults for network setup, which is dhcp. No idea how that all happened. [06:51] morning cfhowlett [06:51] yowza^3 lotuspsychje [06:51] How's the channel behaving today? [06:52] cfhowlett: alot of offtopic this morning and a netsplit after, back to idle now :p [06:52] calm be4 teh storm :) [06:53] I got " you are banned" for the past 3 hours. [06:54] cfhowlett: still fighting with that freenode thing? [06:54] I've given up the battle since it's at the #ubuntu channel level, not MY level [06:54] lotuspsychje installing nvidia-prime lead to crash of gdm :( removing it again and now it still crashes due to a bug [06:55] chaosfisch: wich driver does ubuntu-drivers list suggest? [06:55] nvidia-driver-418 [06:55] chaosfisch: only that, or more versions? [06:55] $ ubuntu-drivers list: nivida-driver-418, nothing else. [06:55] hmm [06:56] chaosfisch: can you pastebin the whole output of your driver install please? [06:56] the output of the apt install for the driver? [06:56] yes [06:59] lotuspsychje I'll start from scratch with install. the gdm seems to be too broken now [06:59] shouldnt take more than 5 min anyway [07:00] !nomodeset | chaosfisch to bypass boot problems/graphics [07:00] chaosfisch to bypass boot problems/graphics: 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 [07:45] lotuspsychje alright, cant give you the install output because driver is installed and working after fresh OS install. [07:45] chaosfisch: sounds good, maybe a glitch somewhere.. [07:46] chaosfisch: if things are installed correctly, nvidia-settings should leave you the choice now between performance mode and powersaving mode [07:47] lotuspsychje: the nvidia X server settings? [07:47] chaosfisch: yeah, you should have an icon for it [07:50] I have a problem on 18.10 that local LAN adapters doesn't get static V4 Ip address anymore upon boot [07:51] So it is connecting of Wifi (it's a desktop) bit none of 2 LAN adapters get their IPs and also machine does not route internet to the rest of the LAN as it used before [07:56] lotuspsychje seems to work now - running with integrated gpu [07:57] !yay | chaosfisch [07:57] chaosfisch: Glad you made it! :-) [07:58] now I can finally get to the more interesting part. gpu passthrough which is trivial now [08:00] I'm on a Zbook Studio x360 with Intel onboard and Quadro P2000.. just using Nvidia 418 now, with prime-select [08:00] assuming GPU offloading still isn't a thing yet unless you're using bumblebee [08:04] Right. Giving up on my brightness keys now. Hours wasted for 2 hotkeys is too much [08:07] zarathustar, first, you tried xev? [08:08] same scan codes for brightness up/down as mic mute... also shows as a button/F20 event in acpi_listen [08:09] then I got lost in setting debug_layer and debug_level values, couldn't find much (but wasn't sure what to look for), decompiled ACPI tables -- again, wasn't sure what to look for [08:09] That is pretty strange [08:10]
