[02:26] ROGER SUTTERFIELD was added by: ROGER SUTTERFIELD [03:26] Hello [03:27] The bootup process is almost 2 minutes, any help would helpful. [03:30] `systemd-analyze blame`? [03:31] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XJmS9DsWXh/ [03:31] i havent used Linux in years so may need some help [03:34] mpd and snapd are taking a bit of time, but shouldn't be two minutes. [03:36] I just removed mpd. Is snapd required? [03:39] Depends on if you use snaps. [03:46] So I suppose a recent kubuntu update did this. I get blank screens (energy save style) after 10 minutes. But the kde settings thing doesn't seem to know such a thing [03:51] Unit193, why are there loops at bootup? [03:55] Good Night === viv`d is now known as vivid [04:18] Hey === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf === Guest60110 is now known as lordievader [09:18] Hey guys! I am a filthy dual booter. At the moment I cannot write to my Windows SSD when I mount it while being on Kubuntu 18.04. Does anyone else have that problem? [09:19] Fast Startup in Windows is deactivated. [09:47] @Linuxophil, Thats weird [09:47] @plyr0, Very much. [09:48] @Linuxophil, Check if windows magically enabled it again [09:49] @plyr0, I did. Last time like 10mins ago. [09:49] @Linuxophil, Oh [09:49] I saw someone with the same problem in arch group yesterday [09:50] Interesting! [09:50] btw, here's the line of the "mount" output: [09:51] seems like Kubuntu decided to mount it as read only. [09:51] Even though dolphin says that it is display and edit for everybody. [09:52] @Linuxophil, Ooh [11:06] Howdy all [11:48] DANIEL SONG was added by: DANIEL SONG [11:48] DANIELR [11:48] (Photo, 1190x611) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/w6148PAi/file_17102.jpg [11:58] @DarinMiller @RikMills @Sick_Rimmit can we add the daysandbox bot to get rid of the spammers? [11:59] @bauchhaus, we don't get many, so probaly a bit overkill [12:00] I have no objection to they, but no clue how to do it [12:01] If we start getting flooded, I'll look into 'measures' [12:02] I'm admin at https://t.me/OpenStreetMapOrg and https://t.me/puredata . Using that open source bot there and it saves a lot of spam intervention, just the minor inconvenicne that a new member can't post links or images for the first 24 hrs [12:04] That's the bot: https://tgdev.io/bot/daysandbox_bot [12:12] Thanks. There are many bots designed to protect TG channels. If we get flooded, I will look into it [12:12] where can I get the path to the current application launcher icon? [12:28] feodoran, are you trying to change the icon? [12:29] I want to use the breeze dark theme, but with the icon from the kubuntu theme [12:34] feodoran, you can download more icon themes in system settings>appearance>icons [12:35] why download? I already have it. I just need to know its file path [12:42] @RikMills, just make sure you pick one where zou are sure it isn't doing shady stuff in the background. [12:43] You removed the spam, but you did not ban the spammer from the group or reported it. [12:44] @bauchhaus, This is why I won't add one in a hurry [12:44] @bauchhaus, Yes. I did [12:45] @RikMills, ok. [12:46] feodoran, try /usr/share/icons [12:50] BluesKaj: ok with a lot of time I can search there manually ... or I just check the path of the currently setup icon. that needs to be stored somewhere? [12:54] where can I the file that describes such a (default) themes? [12:54] feodoran, I tried , locate system-settings, you'll get a list in the terminal [12:55] BluesKaj: what do you mean "locate system-settings"? [12:56] oh that is supposed to be a command [12:56] because system-settings is where one can choose the icon themes [12:56] yes it's a command [12:57] bbiab [12:59] I don't know what icon that is, but this is not the application launcher [13:54] hello, i cant either install virtualbox or vmware player on kubuntu 19.10 ... is it possible that the kernel is too new? [14:18] tux__, make sure you give user permissions to the installer bundle then open a terminal where it downloaded and do 'sh VMware-Player-15.1.0-13591040.x86_64.bundle' and follow the instructions [14:19] also make sure you have build-essential installed first [14:28] BluesKaj: build-essential is installed, there are 2 modules to compile. the 2nd is compiled and the 1st vmware monitor did not work. i could paste the vmware.log if it helps? [14:28] also make sure you have build-essential installed first [14:29] oops , i tried launching vmplayer and it won't won't compile the kernel module here, so no luck for me either on 19.10 [14:30] do you have 19.10 too? [14:30] yes [14:30] ok, and does virtualbox work for you? [14:30] i'm testing the 19.10 devel OS [14:31] I haven't tried VB [14:31] i use the beta of 19.10 from this day. could you try virtualbox? [14:32] I don't care much for VMs much personally, i just tried vmplayer on 19.10 since you were having an issue, so now we both have it :-) [14:33] ok ty then ... that means we have too wait until release? [14:33] vmwareplayer that is [14:34] tux__, I think you're right about the kernel being too new === andrei is now known as AndrewPashkin === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [20:36] Hi ! What do you guys do when the screen freezes & you can't move the mouse to close anything & putting PC on sleep doesn't work.I found a bunch of keyboard shortcuts but they haven't worked so far.Its probably due to "too many tabs syndrome " I've tried tweaking Firefox but that doesn't work.I would like to have an alternative to the power button because apparently that is bad for the PC. Any ideas ? [20:39] Shreddies: the first thing to try is to switch to a tty: [20:39] !tty [20:39] To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [20:40] if this doesn't work, use: [20:40] !sysrq [20:40] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [20:41] in fact R, E I are disabled on *buntu* for security reasons, so just S, U, B is enough - and easier to remember, too [20:41] i tend to remind myself using "this situation is SUBoptimal". [20:42] Great thank you so much.😀Making a note for when it happens next time.Any good option if it decides to freeze when haven't saved the last bit? [20:42] save your work regularly, use applications which will do so for you automatically [20:43] the S and U should help you loosing less work, though [20:43] sync (empty write cache to disk) + unmount file systems [20:43] b is just reboot [20:45] next time when you reboot this way, you may also have a better log of what actually went wrong and caused this situation: journalctl -b -1 -e [20:45] that's on 18.04 and newer [20:45] the second parameter is a ONE, not an ELL [20:46] @tomreyn, You lost me there [20:48] Shreddies: i'm just saying: (1) note down this command: journalctl -b -1 -e and (2) run it next time you're back after such a crash to review what may have caused the crash [20:50] journalctl is a way to view the system logs ("journal" in systemd speak). "-b -1" tells it to show you the logs from just the previous session, "-e" tells the log viewer to jump to the end of this log, which is when the system crashed. [20:53] If I understand you correctly & then that means you can figure out what happened thanks to the log? (excuse me the total ignoramus when it comes to this stuff) [20:59] @tomreyn, My bad for some reason I didn't see your comment [20:59] I do have some errors when it boots but they load so quickly I have no idea what gobbledygook error code is written [21:00] Shreddies: *maybe+ you can figure it out this way. it's worth having a look and maybe sharing the log here (by posting it to a pastebin) [21:01] Shreddies: during reboot those errors were probaly just warnings that an unplanned file system check has been triggered because the file systems had not been unmounted cleanly [21:01] but sure, there could be more. how often do those crashes occur? [21:02] keep typing "tomreyn", i might miss your replies otherwise [21:02] Less than once a week usually but laptop is new. [21:03] Oops my bad.not used to this multi user Telegram [21:03] @tomreyn, Oops my bad.not used to this multi user Telegram [21:04] @tomreyn, What is a paste bin? [21:04] i'm actually on IRC via the bridge [21:04] !pastebin [21:04] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:04] !pastebinit [21:04] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [21:05] if you like you can post a full log now and i'll have a quick look and maybe suggest a few things to improve upon [21:05] journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [21:06] right after a quick bathroom visit, that is [21:07] @tomreyn, That would be awesome, might take a bit of time since I've never done this before [21:08] @tomreyn, Any particular reason for the exclamation marks before words?Is it like an equivalent of bangs in Duck duck go? [21:12] @Shreddies we have this bot on irc which will spit out explanations on some commands we trained it about. when i type anything with an !exclamation !mark while supporting others i do to to point it out thatthey can get more info on this topic from the bot [21:12] i.e. you can type !bug or !irc or !18.04 [21:13] @tomreyn, ahh,thanks! [21:13] @tomreyn, got the infor from Konsole,will send u link shortly [21:13] running " journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 " will probably not take you long. it gets the current log, and posts it to a website (termbin.com) which then returns a http address for you to share here [21:14] @tomreyn, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DXdDjnGhxd/ [21:16] @Shreddies: *this* is the command i suggested for you to run after it crashes. what i would offer to look at now is your full log of the current session, as produced (and automatically shared) by " journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 " [21:18] oh i see you like to rewrite some bits. just run journalctl -b > /tmp/journal then and edit /tmp/journal to your liking before you'll ost it [21:18] *(p)ost [21:19] @tomreyn, My bad ,hope I did it right this time https://termbin.com/wrfb [21:20] no worries @Shreddies, and yes, this looks like what i suggested [21:20] i'll have a look. in the meantime maybe you can tell me whether i should use [21:20] @Shreddies [21:20] or just [21:20] Shreddies [21:21] @tomreyn> oh i see you like to rewrite some bits. just run journalctl -b , Dunno what you mean [21:21] to get your attention, since i have no clue about telegram [21:21] @tomreyn, whatever you think is best [21:22] ok. i noticed your funny mac address address fdaa:bbcc:ddee:0:... from the first log you posted [21:22] @Shreddies does highlight in green so maybe that's good in case some others are having conversations... [21:23] @tomreyn, I don't use MAC it's a Windows PC =S [21:23] okok ;) checking your logs now [21:23] @tomreyn, LOL reminds of me of my friend who calle dher Wifi CIA Surveillance van =p [21:24] :) that was quite a trend some years ago. i still think its funny. you have a LENOVO 81F4/LNVNB161216, BIOS 7SCN26WW 10/26/2018 - check lenovo.com for a new bios maybe [21:25] @tomreyn, what is wrong with the 1 I have? [21:28] @tomreyn, 1 of these.Lol should name the wifi free malware & viruses [21:28] nothing specific, i just suggest this generically since often newer firmwares will fix or work around security and other issues [21:29] @tomreyn, on windows only? [21:29] maybe, i have not checked. so you have a docking station connected. those usually get firmware updates, too. [21:30] @tomreyn, How do I know if I have a docking station,whatever that is =S [21:30] there's this non standard message on your log. it may be worth searching the webfor: "ACPI Warning: GPE type mismatch (level/edge) (20181213/evxface-792)" [21:31] a docking station is what you conect your computer to when you come home. so you only need to connec thte computer to one periphal device, and not all of your 20 monitors, 10 mice, 3 keyboards and what have you [21:32] "acpi ABCD0000:00: ACPI dock station (docks/bays count: 1)" tells me you (seem to) have one [21:33] it's possible this is just a connector to connect to a docking station, though, and you dont actually have one connected [21:35] @tomreyn, why yes I do have 20 fabulous monitors 😆 For this ACPI Warning: GPE type mismatch (level/edge) (20181213/evxface-792) it just seems to be results of people having that same line & various problems like wifi (not an issue for me) & some russian https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/security/14980151 [21:36] i915 unable to load firmware https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/591 [21:39] hmm i'm not that far on your log to see whether this is an issue on yours, yet [21:39] @tomreyn, Oh ok,I can wait,just let me know if you want me to do anything,thanks! [21:39] i just checked which docking stations are available for your ideapad 330s, but there are actually 0 [21:39] for now, just remain connected ;) [21:40] here's what a dock(ing station) looks like https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/docking/c/docking [21:40] AKA port replicators [21:40] @tomreyn, Is that a bad thing? I haven't needed to connect anything ,maybe in future a DVD drive & USB,nothing fancy... [21:41] no, not an issue at all [21:42] it just means this is not a laptop primarily targetting a business audience basically [21:42] @tomreyn, I won't be sequencing DNA or anything so then I can just ignore it I suppose.. [21:42] this *may* be an issue, though: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve [\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.HEC.ECMD], AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psargs-330) [21:43] run this: wget -qO- https://termbin.com/wrfb | grep 'ACPI Error:' [21:43] !acpi [21:43] to debug ACPI issues on ubuntu make sure your bios is up to date and follow the procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [21:44] actually run this: wget -qO- https://termbin.com/wrfb | grep -E 'ACPI (BIOS )?Error:' [21:44] actually run this: wget -qO- https://termbin.com/wrfb | grep -E 'ACPI (BIOS )?Error' [21:44] ... third iteration surely works ;) [21:45] hmm yes this really screams for a bios update [21:46] @tomreyn, Did I do it wrong? wazapp@wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB:~$ wget -qO- https://termbin.com/wrfb | grep 'ACPI Error:' â€¦ aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) â€¦ aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN00._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) â€ [21:46] 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) â€¦ aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN00._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) â€¦ aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) â€ [21:46] 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN01._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN01._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531 [21:46] aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN02._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531 [21:46] aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN02._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN03._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND [21:46] (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FN03._ON, AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psparse-531) … aug 10 22:29:37 wazapp-Lenovo-ideapad-330S-14IKB kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_TZ.FNCL, AE_NOT_ [21:46] use a pastebin next time, please [21:46] i just gave you this command to look at the output i've already seen here [21:47] you're currently being muted, but can talk to IRC (and me) again to shortly [21:47] latest bios update for your system https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330S-14IKB/81F4/downloads/DS502884 [21:48] version 7SCN34WW 25 Jun 2019 [21:48] yours is 7SCN26WW 10/26/2018 [21:48] so v26 vs v34 basically [21:49] you can talk again now [21:50] @tomreyn, ok,thanks.What would you like me to now? Boot to Windows & update BIOS? [21:50] @Shreddies: if you wrote anything since you posted the acpi errors here i didnt get to see it. [21:50] i did see what you just asked though [21:51] i only suggest things, you decide what you do. i do suggest you do a bios upgrade. but i cannot tell what this may mean for your support status / warranty. [21:52] normally, bios upgrades are fine, failed bios uogrades (which are very raare nowadays), where users followed the documentation, result in free hardware replacements. [21:53] thats during warranty period. but that's just generally, check your status with hp / the shop youbought from if you want to be certain [21:53] @tomreyn, ok will try a BIOS upgrade ,I need to be in WIndows to do that though,right? [21:54] yes. there are unsupported ways to do it from linux, but i can't recommend this [21:55] @tomreyn, ok,how do I pick the right one though? Bought the PC abroad & if there are issues I will just do factory reset.Haven't put my files on this PC yet anyway. [21:56] Shreddies: there's just one on the page i linked, so not much you can do wrong [21:58] so download both 7scn34ww.txt and 7scn34ww.exe from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/de/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330S-14IKB/81F4/downloads/DS502884 then read the instructions in the .txt file [21:59] here's the downloads overview for yyour model https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/300-series/330s-14ikb/81f4/downloads [22:01] @tomreyn, Thanks! [22:01] Shreddies: wait a sec [22:01] @tomreyn, sure [22:01] while you're on windows, also install the Intel ME patch [22:02] https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330S-14IKB/81F4/downloads/DS504090 [22:03] intel ME is a minimal operating system running on your CPU whenever it has power connected (i.e. also when the computer is shutdown). so you always want to have that patched. [22:04] @tomreyn, by downloading from the link above? or is this separate issue? [22:04] you have the bios downloads (txt and exe) as i pointed out before, and you have the separate intel ME downloads (txt and exe) from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330S-14IKB/81F4/downloads/DS504090 [22:05] download all four files, read .txt files, follow instructions there using the .exe files [22:06] @tomreyn, https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/7sme04ww.txt [22:06] yes, that's one of the two txt files [22:07] and one of the two files regarding the intel ME firmware patch [22:08] if anything is unclear, please ask [22:08] @tomreyn, I'm really confused [22:08] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine explains what Intel ME is [22:09] how do I add a screenshot? [22:09] sorry for confusing you. you can just do the bios upgrade for now, if it helps [22:09] upload to imgur.com, then post the url here. [22:10] Anywho it says this ME is only for Lenovo ideapad 330S bla bla loads of numbers [22:10] isnt that what you have then? [22:11] here's what i gatehered from your log earlier: [..] you have a LENOVO 81F4/LNVNB161216, BIOS 7SCN26WW 10/26/2018 - check lenovo.com for a new bios maybe [22:12] 81F4 does seem to point to lenovo ideapad 330S 14 inch [22:12] you can probably confirm this on the bottom of your computer [22:12] probably also on the bios [22:13] (bios setup screen) [22:13] (Photo, 387x153) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/p0CjpoKt/file_17109.jpg [22:13] @tomreyn, they don't match up fully [22:14] what does it say on the bottom of your computer / in your bios setup screen then? [22:14] @tomreyn, will check! [22:15] @tomreyn, 330S 141KB,nothing more specific [22:16] but that's exactly what it says on the prompt [22:16] 330S-14IKB [22:16] @tomreyn, my bad,I was looking for the entire sequence,so I have the right one! yay! [22:17] the rest there are other compatible models [22:17] yes you should be good [22:17] i'm quite convinced its the right model, also most likely this bios upgrade would fail (before it actually starts flashing) if it was a different model. [22:17] @tomreyn, thanks! How do I do that ? Please load default in BIOS setup menu before executing this program. [22:17] but the risk is totally with you, of course [22:18] do you know how to enter the bios setupscreen? [22:18] @Shreddies, I'm willing to give it a shot! [22:18] like right after powering on? [22:18] F something [22:18] probably, i don't now the exact key combo [22:19] if you're lucky it says so at the time. or after hitting escape. [22:19] @tomreyn, ok so I can't install it until I leave the "main screen" for a black screen? [22:19] most of the time "delete" (del) key or an F key get you there [22:20] hmm not sure what you mean by "leave the main screen for a black screen" [22:20] main screen of what? [22:20] @tomreyn, when I installed Kubuntu I had to use bios ,so I think I can do it again [22:21] @tomreyn, general windows ,for the "old looking" one https://img.purch.com/o/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5sYXB0b3BtYWcuY29tL2ltYWdlcy93cC9wdXJjaC1hcGkvaW5jb250ZW50LzIwMTUvMTAvMTQ0NDk1MDg1Ni02NzB4Mzc2LmpwZw== [22:21] okay, cool. so the .txt file you're reading suggests you enter the bios setup and select the option to reload setup (vendor) defaults [22:22] @tomreyn, I donwloaded & when installing in Setup it said : 1. This package is built for Lenovo ideapad 330S-14IKB/15IKB only, do not try it on other machines. 2. Do not change the default installation path. 3. System will automatically reboot after BIOS update, Please save and close your opening documents before update process beginning 4. Make sure the battery is fully charged and AC adapter is plug-in before you updating BIOS 5. [22:22] Please load default in BIOS setup menu before executing this program. [22:22] on this very screen you just posted, on the bottom lines, it says "F9 Setup defaults." this is basically what you're supposed to do there. [22:24] it's just a safety measure. i don't think its really needed, nd would personally skip it if the system was running stable (like yours is). but then, its your warranty, you choose ;) [22:29] your bios will look more like this https://lnv.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/66583iBAB649E9F83489C1/image-size/original [22:30] @tomreyn, In Bios what do I do next? [22:31] hit F9 [22:33] @tomreyn, Load optimal defaults? [22:35] IrcsomeBot: yes [22:36] @tomreyn, Now what? [22:37] IrcsomeBot: save and exit [22:37] F10 [22:37] then boot to windows again, do the bios upgrade [22:38] you notice none of this has anything to do with kubuntu, right ;) [22:38] i'm happy to help, though [22:38] @tomreyn, Great thank.Yeah I applaud you 👏👏👏👏👏 [22:39] @tomreyn, I realised yeah when booting into Windows ha ha [22:39] if anyone watching thinks we should keep it out of this channel (due to off topic), just say so, thanks [22:40] there's sadly no bios guide for your model from lenovo. apparenlty they no longer consider it neccessary to document those [22:41] there's a nice hardware servicing guide, though, if you ever get bored [22:41] @tomreyn, That sucks .shutting down after updating [22:41] @tomreyn, I never get bored.but thanks anyway [22:42] what you did on windows was really just to 'stage' the bios upgrade. it just places the upgrade file on the mainboard, which is read by the upgrading utility on the next boot [22:42] it'll now flash it, showing progress bars [22:43] i think the progress bar will fill twice. after that, it'll reboot again and maybe once more [22:43] ...before it boots the OS again [22:44] @tomreyn, So far it's round dots going in a circle "Getting windows ready. Don't turn off computer " [22:45] oh then it does the flashing from windows actually, ok [22:47] @tomreyn, While I wait.I was thinking to thank you I could send you something from Sweden if you wanted I'm just not sure how comfortable you are with giving your address to a stranger on the Internet... or I could donate to Kubuntu if they accept PayPal [22:48] the bios you have can actually be upgraded from windows, from an uefi shell, and from linux, too. but lenovo only supports it from windows, since they only sell those models with windows and so it's their best compromise between having to support as few systems as possible and making it easy for the end user. [22:49] Shreddies: heh, that's kind of you. i appreciate the gesture, but don't spend your money on me. you're welcome to support your local linux users group or some needy person in the streets, though. [22:51] mediciens sans frontieres is also a great cause to donate money to. [22:53] but yes, kubuntu as well, of course. most if not all of the flavours are all volunteer driven after all. [22:55] https://kubuntu.org/contribute-to-kubuntu/ -> Donate to Kubuntu has a paypal form [22:56] Shreddies: is it still going then? [22:57] @tomreyn, It automatically booted to kubuntu then loaded some more on windows [22:57] @tomreyn> https://kubuntu.org/contribute-to-kubuntu/ -, Ok thanks! [22:59] at least before the bios upgrade, your system was also affected by bug 1726159 - which is not actually an ubuntu bug, but a firmware issue, i think [22:59] bug 1726159 in linux (Ubuntu) "PCIe BUS Error causing really slow laptop performance" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1726159 [22:59] Shreddies: thanks for donating! :) [23:00] @tomreyn, Ok well good to update anyway [23:00] @tomreyn, You're very welcome! What do I do now on windows? [23:00] i'm trying to say this issue may have been fixed by the bios upgrade you just did [23:01] i suggest you do the intel ME upgrade as well [23:01] and once that's done, boot to ubuntu again and get us another log to see if it helped anything: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [23:02] *kubuntu [23:03] @tomreyn, How do I do that? [23:05] Shreddies: i explained earlier, but maybe it was too much at once. let me repeat: [23:05] @tomreyn, Have Intel pentium gold (sticker) Feel free to quote yourself [23:06] @tomreyn, Yeah it definitely was tmi at once [23:06] intel ME downloads (txt and exe) from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/300-SERIES/330S-14IKB/81F4/downloads/DS504090 [23:06] download both files, read .txt file, follow instructions there using the .exe file [23:07] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine explains what Intel ME is [23:08] @tomreyn, had a read,just got more confused,oh dear [23:08] i didn't get the pentium gold sticker reference / joke, but ... i do not crave for one ;) [23:09] okay let me take a look at the .txt as well, a sec [23:09]
