[00:00] amazing this issue still exist [00:01] can't get grub to come up assuming timing is set to 00 due to not dual booting, so the grub menu isn't loading [00:01] Bashing-om: the brcm is a broadcom driver, its also one that has "poor" or no support in linux, but there are a number of people who got it to work using a similar driver. It required kernel 4.4+ to work [00:01] can only boot into livecd [00:02] So for 16.04, it worked. I dont know why it wont work all of a sudden in 18.04, and there are a few articles about it for 19.04 saying "its supported properly" in the kernel now [00:02] but I see many articles stating it works on 18.04..... thus.. it should? [00:03] I'll go check out your links. thnks [00:03] correct jeremy31 it does not.... not until 19.04 [00:04] This guy figured it out, so did others: https://blog.cooperteam.net/post/2017-11-10-asus-ac88-wifi-on-linux/ [00:04] I used it, on 16.04 successfully for 2 years [00:05] OrcD3vil: Well, from the liveDVD - we can look at the installed grub file and edit it if needed. A simple mount will do here :) [00:06] Bashing-om, i'm in the livedvd just rebooted [00:08] OrcD3vil: From the liveDVD - let's maje sure of the target . what shows ' sudo fdisk -lu - ? where we want to indentify the partition that contains grub. [00:08] make* [00:10] looks like theyt ook out xchat in livedvd what a pain [00:10] hmmm Bashing-om: so I should rebuid the kernel? ugh... is there any way I can confirm this is accurate? that link talks about 4.15, but I have been running 4.15 for ages [00:10] /dev/sda1 EFI [00:10] and it worked for me with my wifi [00:10] /dev/sda2 Linux filesystm [00:10] (or wiki) hehehe [00:10] /dev/sdb1 linux file system [00:12] ssd sda boot 2 partitions EFI and / [00:12] sdb is 3tb /home [00:16] Special Case #2 - For the ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 [00:16] that is the card [00:16] tnx, ill try it [00:17] maybe upgrading to 18.04 rebuilt a new kernel and the old drivers were removed [00:18] Bashing-om, ? [00:20] OrcD3vil: Show us, please in a pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu | nc termbin.com 9999 '. The result is a URL back in terminal, pass that link back here . [00:20] lived=cd doesn't have irc client [00:21] FaTaL_G: " apt show bcmwl-kernel-source [00:21] " is your devise listed in the description ? [00:24] Bashing-om what was the command again? [00:25] OrcD3vil: So ? How are you on irc at this time ? the result is only simple, like " https://termbin.com/fa4k " . [00:25] Version: 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4 [00:26] google search #ubuntu live cd and got a web client [00:26] was on my surface tab [00:26] OrcD3vil: sudo fdisk -lu | nc termbin.com 9999 '. [00:26] Bashing-om: what am I looking for in that [00:27] FaTaL_G: If your device is lisyed .. then a purge and reinstall of bcmwl-kernel-source might do the trick :) [00:27] listed* [00:27] https://termbin.com/e7ge [00:28] What's the best/easiest way to setup calendar synchronization from my phone to Calendar (included with Ubuntu) without using Google or any of those privacy-invading services? Can I setup some sync service on my Ubuntu server at home? I hear nextcloud is OK but it is a huge pain in the ass TBQH. [00:28] OrcD3vil: Looks good :) .. and which drive are we attempting booting ? [00:29] sda [00:29] sda has EFI and / [00:29] sdb has /home [00:30] Bashing-om: it is not listed [00:30] my device is special case #2 [00:31] I have to use a "hack" by extracting a binary stream from a 4366b linux driver, which is not full featured [00:31] OrcD3vil: Then we can do from the liveDVD ' sudo mkdir /mnt/looksee ; sudo mount /dev/sda2 mnt/looksee ; cat /mnt/looksee/etc/default/grub ' . [00:31] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1072676/asus-pce-ac88-on-ubuntu-18-04 [00:32] one person says it works full featured on 19.04 [00:32] which is a major driver for me wanting to go to 19.04 [00:32] but I dont want to lose features if 19.04 is unstable [00:33] Bashing-om https://termbin.com/zutb [00:34] ok so nomodeset is already enabled but still getting black screen.. [00:35] interesting Bashing-om & jeremy31: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git [00:35] find linux-firmware/ -name brcmfmac4366c-pcie.bin [00:35] FaTaL_G: jeremy31: is much better aware of WIFI than I . I take a back seat to him :D [00:35] that was posted by a commentor... maybe I canbuild REAL support for it [00:37] Bashing-om during install i did select to install propriatary drivers also. Not sure why this 970 has a issue with 1/2 the distros and half it doesn't [00:42] Bashing-om what you think? [00:42] any thoughts on that driver jeremy31? should I be able to use it on 18.04? [00:43] OrcD3vil: I see no fault with how 'nomodeset' is set ... should workie .. booting the install - at that black screen, what results 'ctl+alt+F2" ? See if we can get to a terminal interface there. [00:43] no term shows pressed Ctl alt F2 - F6 [00:43] nothing but blank black screen [00:44] some laptops don't have working f2 until you hit eg the Fn key [00:44] jeremy31: I mean, unless I'm missing something, that is official upstream git? [00:44] This is Desktop [00:45] This is sparta [00:45] Bashing-om booting into live CD literally took 5 minutes for some reason. I can reboot give it 5 then try FN and CTL ALT F2 [00:47] OrcD3vil: No, what we need now is a terminal on the installed system .. think'n about how we can avoid a full change root routine to gain access :( [00:48] Bashing-om its amazing this issue is still around, I used to work with linux back 20 yrs ago when Slackware was like ver 4 lol and this was a issue [00:49] OrcD3vil: A thought - in the liveDVD boot mneu is "boot from first hard drive" .. try that and see what happens ? [00:49] Bashing-om some distro's are fine, some have this some dont its really weird [00:50] OrcD3vil: Nvidia support has really improved - and getting better all the time. [00:50] Bashing-om there is no option for that just "Try Live DVD" then try safe, then install / install safe / OEM install [00:52] OrcD3vil: Boot the liveDVD and as soon as bios clears spam the escape key -> language screen, escape key to accept the defaults -> boot menu :) [00:53] Bashing-om ok and once in boot menu? [00:54] OrcD3vil: Looking here -- I do expext that "boot from 1st hard drive" is an option there" [00:55] k lets see how it goes [00:58] Bashing-om, booted to livecd, hit esc and now at grub prompt [00:59] OrcD3vil: I can reboot into a 18.04 ubuntu liveDVD and confirm :( [01:00] when I boot it gives me optins to try, try safe mode, install, install safe mode, oem manufactuer, check disc for defects or press E to edit command [01:00] if I don't select any and hit Esc I get Grub term [01:01] OrcD3vil: Rebooting give me lots of time as this ole system is slow ..maybe a shift key vice the escape key ? getting to a grub prompt is unsettling :( [01:01] if i select install, not the safe mode screen goes into power save [01:02] I brought this laptop from 14.04 to 16.04 yesterday, then got it up to 18.04 today. Everything seems fine, but DNS. It's getting the same server IP as other stuff in my house, so I'm not sure what gives. If I echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf, it works, but that's not a real fix... [01:18] Oops, I tried something that didn't work. Did anyone answer me while I was gone? [01:23] craigbass76: you didn't miss anything whil you were away [01:24] bashing got lost on that reboot lol [01:24] sarnold, thanks. [01:26] The plot thickens! If I run dhclient wlan0, I'm golden (after a reboot and having /etc/resolv.conf going back to normal) but if I reboot again, pffft. [01:30] Bashing-om, wb [01:30] OrcD3vil: I can confirm that "boot from first hard disk" is an option on the desktop installer. However, my attempt to use that option failed - maybe because I do not have a standard grub ? [01:31] Bashing-om, how do you get that option? [01:31] I wonder: are one of you using uefi and the other legacy? [01:32] ubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64 is the iso i'm using [01:32] OrcD3vil: At the installer splash screen I press a shift key -> language screen, escape to accept the default -> boot options screen :) [01:33] so you select install safe mode then shift? [01:33] sarnold: OrcD3vil I am legacy as my install method - OrcD3vil is indeed EFI . [01:34] bashing going tto reboot sleect install safe modeandtab shift key as it loads? [01:34] OrcD3vil: No, the ubuntu splash screen is just after the bios screen clears . [01:34] once it asks what language hit esc? [01:35] OrcD3vil: yup - . If you get the language screen you are on the right path :D [01:40] Bashing-om: jeremy31 seems to have gone silent. So I did the modprobe load, and the syslog still shows a -2 error [01:40] its the same file I loaded on 16.04 4.4 and 4.15 [01:40] now on 18.04 its complains and doesnt load completely or something? [01:41] gavinguo: Broadcom is not something I have experience with; I would really prefer others here pick up my slack. [01:42] FaTaL_G: sorry gavinguo - see ^^ .. I do not know off the top of my head. [01:43] Bashing-om, something in grub is borked [01:44] Bashing-om, went into bios forgot to plug in USB drive so I booted to UEFI SSD BAM loads [01:44] yea but I really do not think this is a broadcom thing [01:44] these are all the errors I had in the past [01:44] it still worked, just not with full functionality [01:45] Bashing-om, i'm now booted into system afraid to restart it lol [01:47] OrcD3vil: Well ! progress :) .. what whows ( pastebin) ' sudo lshw -C display ' ?

[01:49] software is doing update think it locked it so made it unable to install so doing system update [01:50] crap it wants to restart [01:51] OrcD3vil: We can delay the reboot :) .. ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? [01:51] well if it doesn't boot i'll have to go in bios and point to the hard drive almost like the MBR never got wrote maybe === turbotaco is now known as DetectiveTaco [01:51] ok its booting into the OS now weird [01:52] OrcD3vil: I would like to see the graphic's hardware and if a driver is loaded before attempting a re-boot :) [01:53] Bashing-om, i hit the reboot because i couldn't install a irc client to give you the output [01:53] Bashing-om, give me sec have to register 2nd nick and join channel the reboot was sucessful and just got irc client installed [01:53] OrcD3vil: Ho-kay .. we can work through this - long as we have a terminal there is high hopes :P [01:55] Bashing-om, ok what is the command you would like [01:56] orcd3vil-desk: ' sudo lshw -C display ' . [01:57] https://termbin.com/eh2b+ [01:57] https://termbin.com/eh2b woops [02:02] orcd3vil-desk: Expected "unclaimed" checking for the rcommended driver now - what is presently installed - show ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' .

[02:10] Bashing-om, thats what all the websites are saying is you ahve to add and different ppa [02:11] man the heck are users supposed to keep track of all this nvidia mess http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yTRSqjQgPf/ [02:12] orcd3vil-desk: Lemme verify that - as I did expext the disco repo to now have the 430 version driver .. back in a tick. [02:14] sarnold: Uh Huh - I agree --- nvidia drivers have become a mess to know what is :( [02:14] Bashing-om, brb going to reboot. sarnold it is a mess thats why I was saying earlier I used to play on Linux pretty well back 20 years ago and nvidia still had this nomodeset issues [02:14] Another issue I want to solve, is redis-server is not working. It is used (among other things) for ntopng.... I was trying to fix it yesterday, and I deleted the dump.rdp [02:15] FaTaL_G: I can help with the nvidia driver :) .. but redis-server is not in my range. [02:15] guess that was stupid. I keep getting a sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory error, and no idea what is throwing it [02:15] lol [02:16] did I mention a nvidia issue? [02:16] FaTaL_G: probably just apt purge redis-whatever and apt install redis-whastever and reconfigure it [02:16] no worries, if I dont ask, I wont get help [02:16] FaTaL_G: Ouch on me --- wrong thought process here :( [02:16] I didnt try reconfigure [02:16] I did purge tho [02:17] I did purge ans reinstall [02:17] OrcD3vil: wb :) [02:17] .... sarnold... how do I reconfigure? [02:17] Bashing-om, thnx let me try that command one more time see if output is better [02:18] https://termbin.com/kp0g [02:18] FaTaL_G: edit /etc/redis/redis.conf and /etc/default/redis-server -- I'm not sure if the /etc/default/redis-server file is still useful or not, but it appears to be packaged [02:18] orcd3vil-desk: Removed 'nomodeset' and then ran ' sudo update-grub ' ? [02:18] not yet umm lets see how i do lol [02:18] sudo /etc/default/grub right? [02:19] then remove nomodeset after quiet splash [02:19] sarnold: indeed the file is there, but I dont know what is throwing the error... or how to create a new dump.rdp [02:19] the file as in redis.conf (is there) [02:20] sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory <----- doesnt really tell me anything [02:20] its trying to find 0 lol [02:20] Bashing-om, looks like i did it [02:21] FaTaL_G: what is giving that message? [02:21] orcd3vil-desk: That last shows still with 418 files .. did you not 'autoremove' ? .. grub : ' sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub ' // that 'H' IS important ! [02:23] sarnold: anytime the system tries to start redis-server [02:23] Bashing-om, this is what I did https://askubuntu.com/questions/1147165/after-installing-nvidia-driver-430-ubuntu-19-04-does-not-boot-and-stuck-on-boot [02:23] FaTaL_G: can you pastebin logs? [02:23] apt-get purge nvidia* [02:23] apt-get autoremove [02:23] apt-get install nvidia-driver-430 [02:25] Bashing-om, did I do something wrong with those commands? [02:26] ah its working this time [02:27] but I had to disable ::1 in the config [02:27] aha :D [02:27] it just didnt work on reinstall because it puts ::1 in there, and I have ipv6 explicitly disabled [02:27] Error: The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK - https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/WHh3MHQN3B/ [02:28] orcd3vil-desk: Nope -- I guess then that the 418 files are good - Lots has changed in nvidia recently that go over my head :( . Let's remove the 'nomodeset' and ' sudo update-grub ' reboot and see then what we have :P [02:29] orcd3vil-desk: But I am concerned that there "might" ne a xorg.conf file at play here too. [02:29] ne/be* [02:30] Bashing-om, k going to reboot brb [02:34] next question for my meddling.... [02:34] What should I look at to discover the cause of this, when I try to install or start this service: cento@* is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it. [02:36] FaTaL_G: try systemctl status cento or systemctl status cento@ [02:36] looks to be running [02:37] but I get that error? [02:37] do I just delete "cento@.service" [02:38] i guess i'll backup my drive and try to fix the gpt error without corrupting the entire drive [02:38] Well no more stalling to boot seems to have fixed it, but 418 and 430 drivers are still showing [02:38] FaTaL_G: I don't think I'd delete anything until I nuderstood what's going on and why.. [02:38] lol, good point [02:39] OrcD3vil: Abd is X happy " what now shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? [02:39] but my deleting things yesterday is waht got me into this mess [02:39] my ntopng install didnt work after upgrading to 18.04 [02:39] I now know why [02:39] it was alllllllll because of the friggin ::1 [02:39] FaTaL_G: does systemctl list-unit-files look sane? [02:41] I didnt even know I had that option [02:41] mostly sane [02:41] apache2.service enabled [02:41] apache2@.service disabled [02:41] things like that dont [02:44] that's probably fine, see https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/ for a quick description of template files [02:47] now to figure out how to get different resolution size [02:57] Hi any benefits of usinf zfs filesystem [02:57] ?

So I hope u agree it should work on the 18.04 [05:27] how do i get my hp deskjet printer to listen to my ubuntu 18.04 for a print job? [05:27] what is the ubuntu chit chat channel? [05:28] i know this is a ubuntu issue, because both android on samsung galaxy s10 and a windows 10 on dell work with it [05:28] the job is reported to be in the queue, but it doesn't actually send the printer any data, afaict [05:29] you have all the hp printer libs? [05:30] i do have hplip installed [05:30] it just informed me rn that the print job is complete, but the printer doesn't have appeared to lift a single finger [05:31] immu: ##ubuntu-offtopic , [05:32] i can manually do it through hp-print, and even through lp/lpr, to zero degree of success [05:33] Bashing-om, thanks [05:33] currently i'm trying to do it through the print dialog on firefox with a pdf document open on pdf.js, and the computer keeps giving me false positives of success [05:33] you have cups installed? [05:33] which package? [05:34] idk for ubuntu... but cups and libcups and lib32-libxups [05:34] lib32-libcups** [05:34] i am banned from ##linux, can someone please check what "lftp sftp://user:password@2001@10.131.78.17 -e cd /som/return_orders/images/; mput *; bye;" command would do [05:35] doing a `apt --installed list '*cups*'`; i got the installed ones: cups,libcups2,libcupsimage2 and a lot of others i can't paste here [05:35] do you want it as a pastebin? [05:37] maybe take a look at your cups server and see if everything looks good there driver and ip of the printer [05:37] i have these packages: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KK5FCGgGxG/ [05:37] m3ssia: it's a usb printer [05:37] maybe it's old and unsupported? [05:38] Id check the cups server [05:38] that my machine is running? i'm not familiar with that one, though [05:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/cups.html [05:40] so should be 127.0.0.1:631 [05:41] there's three big headers: Cups for {users,administrators,developers} [05:41] http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ [05:41] whats there [05:41] my deskjet, status: idle [05:41] location field is blank, and make and model has hpcups 3.17.10 [05:43] it say connection usb? [05:43] driver should be fine [05:43] where should it say connection usb? [05:43] for instance mine says [05:43] rajrajraj, that request would be a sort of ddos / hacking, anyway unwanted as support question, that might also be the reason why you are banned in ##linux [05:43] Connection: hp:/net/DeskJet_2600_series?ip= [05:44] !coc > rajrajraj [05:44] rajrajraj, please see my private message [05:44] when you lsusb do you see the printer? [05:44] i have a table with headers: [Queue Name, Description, Location, Make and Model, Status]; None of which mention anything about a connection in the table cells [05:45] m3ssia: yes, it's bus2 device7 hewlett-packard [05:46] http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs?which_jobs=all [05:46] are there jobs in that list? [05:47] about 12 of them [05:48] some of them say canceled, aborted, held since... [05:48] the primary error message catching my eye says "Unable to send raster data to the driver" and "Filter failed" [05:49] and if you wanted the verbose lsusb on my printer, it's on https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MnwsG7hfMs/ [05:50] https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/release_notes [05:50] your printer in this list? [05:51] is this package installed? cups-filters [05:53] cups-filters is installed [05:53] Unless the printer is unsupported by hplip...idk you got me I guess [05:53] yes, i found my printer twice. (which could be two different printers with the added name of ink advantage) [05:54] under hplip 3.15.6 [05:54] - HP DeskJet 2130 All-in-One Printer series [05:54] under hplip 3.15.7 [05:54] maybe try it over the network? [05:54] - HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2130 All-in_One Printer [05:54] my printer doesn't support the network [05:56] i wonder if it is trying to send it in postscript or something [05:56] these all in one printers suck without a network option [05:56] unable to send raster data... [05:56] i actually tried to get the raster output through some filter or other, and tried to send that through lp. couldn't figure out the argv [05:57] Are you printing text? [05:57] what do you mean? [05:57] a txt file? [05:57] like text or an image? [05:58] i'm atm trying to print a pdf which is a scan, so an image, but the same thing happens on any document i try to print [05:59] should i do cli hp-print with a .txt file or smth, to check things out? [05:59] why not [06:02] now i see a new job on http://localhost:631/jobs/?which_jobs=all whose state is held since [a minute ago] [06:03] and the printer just lays there like a bear in hibernation [06:07] i turned on hp-print's debug output, to see that it only executes `lpr -P DeskJet_2130 -o page-set=all 10_lines.txt`, which i did, with an exit code of 0, and another job on the cups queue that printer doesn't feel obligated to respond to [06:40] I got an Ubuntu 18.04 image which was created on VMware imported into AWS. Upon boot the instance reports a hostname "ubuntu". when I do a "hostnamectl set-hostname test", the hostname does change for the active session, but not upon reboot. [06:41] The final goal needs to be to get the default AWS hostname (which is the private dns address) [06:41] jonssons: try /etc/hostname? [06:41] rigel_: yes, I did try to change it there, no luck [06:42] I have tried to change the kernel.hostname in the sysctl config. I do see it changing during boot to that hostname, but a few seconds later, it reverts to "ubuntu" [06:42] see pastelog: https://pastebin.com/ZfnT1PUH [06:43] in the pastebin log you also see at 6:34:33 the hostname is actually set to what I expect it to be, but the change is never effectuated [06:43] it appears the system is not listening to systemd-hostnamed [06:48] im trying to install python, and I am getting: Failure running hook [ ! -f /usr/bin/snap ] || /usr/bin/snap advise-snap --from-apt 2>/dev/null || true [06:48] wtf is snap? [06:48] apt install python throws me snap errors [06:48] snap is some new kind of package manager [06:48] well all apt install fail [06:49] weird given the host was running for 2-3months now [06:49] apt update throws errors too: Couldn't execute /usr/bin/apt-key to check /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_bionic-security_InRelease [06:49] but the binaries are fine [06:52] Not being able to run apt-key doesn't sound good [06:53] yea no time, i'll just reinstall [06:56] if you have secureboot/uefi and livepatch, i have seen these errors before [06:56] If you are using secure boot, you will also need to import the livepatch public keys into your keyring ... [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Livepatch] sudo mokutil --import /snap/canonical-livepatch/current/keys/livepatch-kmod.x509 [06:59] sie left [07:02] hello, how do i do a good backup strategy with rsync ?! [07:03] install grsync, as a gui [07:04] on my issue: I think I found the culprit: cloudinit [07:09] it was [07:09] there was some residual cloud-init config in /var/lib/cloud which was resetting the configuration [07:09] problem resolved/ === [V7] is now known as _V7 === _V7 is now known as V7_ === V7_ is now known as V_7 === V_7 is now known as V7 [09:09] ls [09:09] Is opengl already included in ubuntu? [09:12] learningc: there are packages, yes - what are you trying to do? [09:14] I want to run a test opengl application === ayekat is now known as badcat === badcat is now known as bad_cat [09:46]
